Queen Anne’s Lace cards

I was playing with the Queen Anne's Lace stamp set and was in the mood for purple.  I combined Gorgeous Grape with Purple Posy to make the card below.

There are just three pieces on this card but it looks like there's more!  Sometimes you don't need to add an extra layer for the sentiment. You can stamp it on the main piece below the image usually divided by a ribbon.  But this time I added the flower image on an additional layer of Purple Posy for an extra layered look.

This Queen Anne's Lace stamp set is one of two you get free this month when you purchase the Starter Kit.  Read about that here!  It's such a great deal with over $75 in free product!  Pay just $99 and get $200!  And FREE Shipping too!  

I added a piece of the Brights DSP on the left.  That tricolor ribbon sure brings it all together!  Tying a knot and securing the ends in the back is easy and with soft ribbon there isn't a thick bump at all. 

Measurements:

• Gorgeous Grape main card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored in half at 4 1/4"
• Purple Posy 2 3/4" X 3" tall
• Whisper White 4 1/4" X 3" 

I also made this additional card on the right using a sketch I found.  It's very similar but this time I stamped all on one layer and added a 3/4" strip of Playing with Patterns Designer paper between the main image and the greeting. Easy!

Hopefully these easy cards inspire you to stamp this week.  Using two shades of the same color sure makes it easy to choose colors!  Think of blues, pinks, greens, etc.

• Quick Card template & cute Christmas treats & snowman tags

  December 16, 2020

  ---

  I shared a ton of Holiday projects on this week's FB Live.  You can see the video below but here are the projects:

  Save

  I used the Brightly Gleaming Specialty DSP here along with Very Vanilla, Navy, Brass foil and Peacock CS.  This pretty paper is on sale at 50% off!  See it here.

  This is one of the easiest layouts you can make that still has some layers to it.  I like the card below best since you can stamp directly on the single layer and do not need a second greeting piece to stamp on like the cards on the left & right above.  Measurements below: 

  Save

  
  

  Easy Christmas card

  • Main card – 8 ½” X 5 ½” or 4 ¼” X 11”, DSP – 3” square
  • CS – 4 ¼” X 3 ¼”, Vanilla greeting layer is 7/8" X 3", Foil strip – ½” X 4”

  Next I have a super cute candy box treat made by my friend Marilyn.  She used the Celebration Label dies; they're 50% off now while supplies last!  See them here. 

  Save

  Celebration Labels Treat box

  • Use the largest 2 dies.  Center the CS die-cut at 6”; score at 5 3/8” and 6 5/8”
  • Box is 2 3/8” X 5 1/8” scored at ½” on each edge

  Save

  Next is a fun candy bar pull up treat.  I love making these since they're so quick & easy. 

  Save

  Santa Pull Up Treat

  Red CS 6 1/2" X 7" score at 3/8", 3/4", 3 1/2" and 3 7/8".

  Black glitter belt 1" X 7"

  This candy bar is in a thin card board box so I had to score it.  Usually I just wrap the card stock around the candy bar and glue the edge overlapping each other.  That one is a lot quicker. 

  Save

  Lastly is a sweet snowman tag. 

  Save

  
  

  It's a piece of Snowflake Splendor DSP and White CS both measuring 4 1/2" X 2" and tied together at the top.  I used the Delightful Tag Topper & 2" circle punches here. The stitched nose is made with the Triangle dies.  I drew Black 'stones' with a marker for his smile. 

  Below you can get the tips on putting these projects together.  Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel here.
