Product used:

•  the ghosts, pumpkin and striped trim are from the Cute Halloween designer paper in the Holiday catalog.  See it here. 
• I punched one of the ghosts and the pumpkin with the Halloween punch. It's in a bundle with the Cutest Halloween set seen here or on page 51, which is where the greeting is from. *Sadly the Halloween punch is now on back-order until November!
• the wreath & bats are die-cut with the Seasonal Swirl dies seen here & Black Glimmer paper in the annual catalog; seen here
• the ombre background is actually Fresh Freesia CS, with Misty Moonlight & Night of Navy added with our Blending Brushes *watch the video below
• Cute Stars Adhesive-backed sequins are also added to the wreath

Check out the ghostly treat box in the photo above.  It's so simple to make with the Pretty Pillow box dies!

Save

The stitched tag is also in the Pretty Pillow Box dies.  Look how it latches – the scalloped front slips in behind the tag in front.  I love that I don't need a special way to keep it closed; the tag does it for me!

Check out the other version I made with the fun skeletons on the right?  I fussy cut them from the Cute Halloween paper.

I haven't shared this for awhile so here it is; my favorite cutting template especially for inside a card.  Get 5 pieces from one 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock. If you're making multiples this can save you a lot!

Below is the video.  I make another project using Sparkle of the Season before this one. Fast forward to about 22 minutes in to see this neat Halloween card.

• More ideas with the Botanical Layers & Lovely Layers vellum with video

  May 29, 2022

  ---

  Here are two more cards I made during last week's FB Live video.  The Botanical Layers bundle includes both the stamp set and the Lovely Layers 3 3/4" X 5" vellum.  

  When I saw this piece of vellum with it's multi-hues vellum I knew I wanted to emulate a mountain scene.  

  Save

  I used a direct to paper technique to add ink to this vellum.  This means you rub your ink pad directly onto the paper.  Watch the video here to see how it's done.  

  I used Tahitian Tide, Granny Apple Green & Orchid Oasis.  I stamped the flowers in Black Memento ink.  

  Tip: Vellum does not absorb ink.  It sits on top so it's best to heat set it or let it dry for an hour or more.  

  Save

  For this next card I simply stamped a few of the images in the Botanical Layers stamp set onto the polka dot printed vellum.  I used Parakeet Party & Orchid Oasis inks.  

  Save

  I also used the Amazing Thanks dies seen here.  A simple strip of Parakeet Party card stock across the card highlights the greeting.

• Sweet Songbirds is adorable on this cute card!

  May 27, 2022

  ---

  We made this adorable card at my May card clubs; it features the Sweet Songbirds bundle and three new In Colors.

  Save

  The new colors include Tahitian Tide (turquoise), Parakeet Party (green) and Sweet Sorbet (red) along with Soft Suede.  

  I shot a video of the easy steps to create this card; I hope you watch it.  See it here or scroll down to watch it below. 

  That neat cloud border is created with the Basic Border dies seen here.  I love these dies!! 

  Save

  As you can see there are very few layers here; the stamped scene is all you need. 

  See the Sweet Songbird bundle here.  The bird & wing are stamped on a separate piece of White CS and punched out.  They're popped up as well as the sign (done on Sahara Sand CS).  

  Measurements:
  • Tahitian Tide card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  • White front 5 1/4" X 4", inside is 4 3/4" X 3 1/2", scraps for bird punches
  • Sahara Sand scrap for hanging sign

• Tea Boutique card with a pocket for a tea bag of gift card!

  May 26, 2022

  ---

  Yesterday I shared the cute tea bag gift box below on the right.  Today I'll share details on the pretty card on the left.

  Save

  Both projects feature the Cup of Tea bundle and the Tea Boutique designer paper seen here.  

  The card is an easy fun fold where the card base is a quarter sheet of Fresh Freesia card stock.  The Garden Green piece is the part that opens and reveals the tea bag.  Of course the tea bag is optional and would work as a gift card holder also.  

  Save

  Here are the measurements:

  • Fresh Freesia card base 4 ¼” X 5 ½”, & 3 X 3” square for tea
  • Garden Green 3 ¼” X 11” scored at 5 ½”
  • Designer paper 3” X 5 ¼”
  • White inside 3” X 5 ¼”
