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.

  • Lily Impressions DSP; make the most of your paper with this fun-fold card!


    Do you struggle with double sided designer paper?  What if you love both sides of the paper and cannot decide which one to use?  Well I have a solution for you with this fun fold card!

    I created these cards for my March thank you's for online orders.  They feature the Lily Impressions designer paper from the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here.  One side of the papers is all water lilies with an impressionistic feel and the other has washed patterns. The colors are bright and vibrant! 

    On the above card the colors are Purple Posy with Blackberry Bliss and Garden Green. The pretty punched corners are from the Detailed Trio punch seen here.

    The stamp set and dies are from my top pick for Bundles in the 2020 January – June mini catalog – the So Sentimental bundle seen here:

    The front right panel opens on just one side.  It's a perfect layout for your designer paper and all you need to do is add a punched or die-cut layer across both panels.  

    The colors on the card above are Pretty Peacock with Melon Mambo. I used the Pretty Peacock rhinestones as accents. 

    Which is your favorite?  

    Measurements:

    • Card stock is 4 1/4" X 9" scored at 5 1/2"
    • Designer paper on the left is 3 1/4" X 4"; card stock on the right is 1 7/8" X 4"
    • The inside white layer is 3 1/4" X 4"
    • Melon Mambo banner is 1" X 4 1/4"

  • Mountain Air with Stitched Nested Labels


    This month I'm featuring the Mountain Air bundle; a fantastic set of stamps and dies that make creating scenes so easy. I created 10 beautiful scenic cards to share with anyone who orders this bundle from me this month.  It's also free to anyone who places an online order.  *Details below

    Here's one of my favorites made with the Stitched Nested Label dies and the Stone embossing folder. 

    The Stitched Nested Label dies are in the annual catalog and you can see them here online. 

    You might wonder how I achieved the textured white washed background.  I first textured the Smoky Slate card stock with the Stone 3D embossing folder.  Then I lightly rubbed my White Craft ink pad directly onto the card stock.  Let dry or heat set with an embossing tool.  Such a fabulous look!

    The Stone 3D embossing folder is part of the Power of Hope bundle from the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here.  It's free with the Power of Hope stamp set for any $100 order while supplies last.  It's already on the low inventory list! 

     

    Other details:

    • Colors are Smoky Slate, Pretty Peacock, Basic Gray and Whisper White
    • The trees are stamped in Pretty Peacock; one in full strength ink and the other second generation ink (stamped off once). They're die-cut with the Majestic Mountain dies. 
    • The greeting is from the Well Said stamp set (one you can get FREE with the purchase of the Starter kit! #BestDealEver!)

  • Easy card design; get two cards with one cut with the So Very Vellum Specialty paper


    The 2nd set of Sale-a-Bration products are here!  There are 5 new items you can choose from that you get FREE with a $50 – $100 order from now through March 31st.  Honestly I am guessing the Vellum and Flowering Foils papers might sell out before March is over. 

     

    I made these quick cards with the pretty textured So Very Vellum and the Eyelet Lace embossing folder in the annual catalog. 


    To get two pieces from each quarter sized sheet of vellum see the measurements and tips are below.


    The colors are Pool Party, Soft Sea Foam and Purple Posy which are the colors this specialty vellum comes in.  It has a dotted grid of texture on each sheet!  This specialty vellum is one of the new FREE choices with any $50 order in March. See it here. 

    Tips:

    1. Cut one piece of vellum measuring 4" X 5 1/4".  Make a mark at 1 1/2" from the upper left and 1 1/2" from the lower right and cut each piece in half at a diagonal.  You'll have 2 perfect diagonal pieces for your cards.  
    2. Adhere the vellum to the White 4" X 5 1/4" card base using liquid glue; I prefer Multipurpose adhesive.  I added a thin line under the dots on the vellum and it doesn't show at all!  
    3. The die-cuts are from the Stitched So Sweetly dies; I did add a scalloped 1 1/8" circle punch between the two layers and sponged the White pieces. 
    4. The greetings are from the So Sentimental stamp set; it's a bundle with the dies at a 10% savings.  See it here.
