I was playing around with the new In Colors and the pretty new Quiet Meadow Bundle and created this pretty card: 

Save

I wanted to see if I could add colored flowers to the green die-cuts.  It was actually very easy to do!  I cut the entire dies in Soft Succulent and then cut mostly the flowers in the colors.  I then trimmed the flowers to add to the stems. 

You can get a similar effect if you die-cut everything in White CS and then add color by sponging.  I'll try that sometime soon and share the results.  

I used the new In Colors of Soft Succulent, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya and Polished Pink.  The only one I didn't use is Evening Evergreen.  That pretty greeting die is also included in these Meadow dies!  Can you see the shimmer on the flowers?  I added a bit of Wink of Stella. The embossing folder is Tasteful Textile.

  The colors include Lost Lagoon, Crumb Cake, Pretty Peacock, White & Pecan Pie. See the neat woven trim on the edge?  that is done with the new Faux Leather trim that has a subtle gold shimmer to it.  The holes and the leaves are made with the Notes of Nature dies seen here.

  Other dies include the Cheerful Daisies for the label and the Deckled Circles behind the flowers/leaves.  I also used the Wink of Stella with Lost Lagoon ink to color the flowers and added a Blooming Pearl to each one.

• Gorgeous Notes of Nature card with free project sheet & video tutorial

  January 29, 2024

  ---

  I had no idea I would enjoy creating with the Nature's Sweetness suite as much as I did. It's not my usual style but I'm in love with it all!  

  Here's one of the cards I shared on last week's video: 

  Save

  I used the Notes of Nature bundle and Old Olive, Black and gold accents on this card.  The large white layer is made by stamping a few of the background stamps in Black ink. I added two sets of leaves – one in green and 2 the other in the Gold designer paper. 

  I want to mention what I think puts this card over the top. Of course the gold additions attract your eye but I think repeating colors a few times helps a lot. Notice how the black is repeated, the Olive is and so is the Gold. If you have trouble with color combinations, try adding one color with a neutral or two. Such as Black & White with any color. 

  Save

  More Details:

  • I textured the Olive layer with the Exposed Brick embossing folder and used a Blending Brush to add Old Olive ink to it. This really highlights the texture! 
  • Also notice the small strip of Gold designer paper on the top and bottom of the stamped white layer.  This is the Nature's Sweetness specialty paper. 
  • I added gold sequins and gold Elegant trim near the greeting.

• Spring Catalog display boards

  January 26, 2024

  I thought I'd share some of my display boards featuring Spring Catalog products.  I've heard back that you enjoy these so here you go…..

  First up is the Hot Air Balloon and Bee My Valentine projects:

  Save

  Remember that many of these are swaps and are not made by me. I like to group cards together that use the same stamp set or designer paper. 

  Here is the Hot Air Balloon dies display.  See the Hot Air Balloon bundle here.

  Next is the Perennial Lavender suite plus the Hills of Tuscany stamp set on the lower left.  

  Save

  Here's a close-up of the Perennial Postage dies I put together.  These are fabulous! See them online here. 

  Save

  Next is the Nature's Sweetness suite that features two bundles!

  Below is the die display I created that is part of the Notes of Nature bundle seen here.
