Today I'm sharing a beautiful card I made on my Live video last week. 

Winterly Tree tops club. Save

Isn't it pretty?  I used Pretty Peacock & White card stock along with a bit of Crumb Cake to pull in the colors in the bird.  The only ink I used was Pretty Peacock. 

I love the pine frame this bundle includes. I also used the Forever Forest stamp set for the trees in the background and for the inside.

 I colored the bird with Blends markers and a Blender Pen. Since I inked the bird in Pretty Peacock ink I was able to spread that ink with a Blender Pen. It works wonderfully on water-based ink which all of our inks in our color families are.  Watch the video to see how this works. 

This neat bundle is great for all occasions and doesn't have to be used for a wintery card.  See it here.

  • Christmas card swaps – fun layouts and fancy-fold cards

    I have lots of beautiful cards to share with you this week; all from my Flowerbug's Team swaps. You'll love the theme – 'to use glitz, shine or shimmer'.

  • Beautiful Winter Meadow card; a great layout to use those extra pieces

    The Winter Meadow designer paper & the Magical Meadow stamp & dies bundle are among my favorites from the 2023 Holiday catalog. Pretty products produce pretty projects!  Say that three times! Ha! 

    Winter Meadow silver Save

    I was playing with the designer paper and had these two pieces among the scraps in my paper pack. I simply added a layer of Blueberry Bushel card stock to one piece and added them to the White card base offset from each other for balance.  Easy peasy! 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
    • DSP 1 piece at 2 1/2" X 4" and 1 at 2" X 4 1/4"
    • Blueberry Bushel 2 3/4" X 4 1/4"

    Of course the pretty dies help a lot too. The greeting label is from the Nested Essential dies seen here and the leaves are both from the Magical Meadow bundle seen here.

    Next I added a greeting layer – heat embossed with Silver embossing powder & my Heat Tool.  Adding the White & Silver mesh ribbon in loops under it sure gives a great finishing touch! To add the loops of ribbon I created them and pressed them to the back of my greeting, after I added some Seal tape runner of course.

    I saw that this beautiful Winter Meadow designer paper is in low inventory; grab it while you can here.

  • Last day of the Seasonal Stock up Sale! Meandering Meadows surprise Accordion card with free project sheet & video

    Today is the last day of the Seasonal 'Stock up' Sale. I sure appreciate getting a discount on consumable items like card stock, ink refills and markers!

    The Meandering Meadows designer paper is gorgeous with it's water-colored scenes.  I shared three card ideas on last week's live video.  

    This one is actually a fun fold card.  It sure doesn't look like it though!

    I used a wide strip of Blueberry Bushel and a narrow strip of Balmy Blue on the front. The designer paper is actually most of the front of this card. Here's the inside view:

    See how the back of the front layer of designer paper is revealed here?  There is a full 11" X 4 1/4" piece of accordion folded card stock between the front and back layers.  It's a very cool design that's also easy to make.

    I really like how it shows both sides of our double-sided designer series paper.  It also gives you lots of layers to stamp or decorate.  I kept mine quite simple. 

    I used my favorite greeting set in the 2023 Holiday catalog; So Sincere.  See it here. It's a gem! The tag die-cut is from the Tailor Made Tags seen here.

    You can see a glimpse of each sheet in the photo below.  It's 6 X 6" in size and filled with watercolor scenes. This type of designer paper allows you to let the pretty scenes do the work for you. Click here to see it.
