Pretty Z-fold with Winterly Tree Tops – free project sheet & video tutorial too

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

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. 

I created a free project sheet for this card; click on the following link to download it or print it off.  Download Winterly Tree Tops Z fold Sept club

I shared a second card using other stamps & dies in this bundle in the video. Click here to watch it and you'll see more ways to use our Blender pens with our Watercolor Pencils. 

Below is the video I shared on my Facebook page.  It's also on YouTube as well.  Follow me!

  • Quick card Ever Eden designer paper strips; just a few days left!


    On my last Monday's FB Live I shared these pretty cards; they feature the Ever Eden specialty designer paper. Click here to watch the video. 

    The greeting and butterflies are from upcoming catalogs in January.  The stamp is called Friendly Hello and the butterflies are little, bitty brass adhesive-backed gems. There is one more new items on this card; it's a punch called the Bough punch. Above it's in Soft Succulent shimmer vellum & Metallic card stock.  It punches both! 

    This pretty paper is a special promotion.  You won't find it in any catalog and it's retiring on January 3rd. It's available while supplies last. The colors are gorgeous together – Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, Gold & White.  See it here. 

    I shared another version of this strip technique here.  Totally different! 

    Tips: 

    • I start out with a 2 1/4" X 4 3/4" piece of neutral CS.  This is what I adhered the strips of Designer Paper to. 
    • I added Seal adhesive over the entire piece and added the strips one by one. 
    • Apply one strip across the middle at an angle first. Then keep filling in. 
    • I trimmed the excess off the edges once I had it well covered with strips.  
    • My DSP strips measure between 1/4" and 5/8" wide and about 3" long.  It doesn't matter how wide your strips are; it looks great if they're different widths.  
    • Add dimensionals to the back of this piece for added dimension. 
    • Add a greeting and accents if desired. 

    Here's the video with details:

  • Geometric fun with an Ombre’ effect; video tutorial too!


    I've been sharing ideas & techniques featuring the Plenty of Patterns masks from a recent FB Live video. 

    Today it's an Ombre' effect created with a grid mask, 4 colors of ink and Blending Brushes. 

    The colors I used are from top to bottom: Pale Papaya, Calypso Coral, Polished Pink and Melon Mambo. I used our Blending Brushes to achieve this smooth blended look.  See them here. I love them; they're so worth investing in.  And the nice thing is that the ink can be rinsed out to use them in any color next time. 

    I used the grid mask in the set of 4 seen below & here. 

    I'm sure you noticed the hexagonal greeting die-cuts.  This is part of a new die-cut set called Beautiful Shapes dies coming out in the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog.  And the Adhesive-Backed Hexagons coordinate wonderfully.  These embellishments come in a package of three colors – Black, Blushing Bride & Just Jade. 

    I added a zig-zag of ribbon behind my greeting image; see my easy method in the video.  

    Below is the video with these projects & lots more!
