Sending Love Artist of the Month – party 2


Here are the second set of Sending Love cards by our Artist of the Month – Donna.  See the first batch here.   

First up today is a fabulous fun fold card.  

I often forget to cut apart my sentiment like this.  It sure adds a playful note!

The cute grass and mailbox die-cuts are all from the Sending Love bundle seen here.  The stamp set & dies are returning in the new Annual catalog but they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off. 

It starts out as a vertical card with this cute mailbox scene.  But when you open it…… you get a horizontal card!

I only opened the upper flap in the photo above.  You can see how it turns from a vertical card to a landscape card.  Here's what it looks like fully opened.  I love that you can read the greetings either way! 

Measurements:

  • Balmy Blue card stock – 2 pieces at 10 1/4" X 4 1/4". Score each in at 4 3/4".  Then mark at 4" and score from that mark to the outside corner.  The two pieces are adhered together in the center (under the large white layer) 
  • White – inside is 5 1/4" X 4", side triangles started out at 3 3/4" square; cut in half on the diagonal.

Next is a sweet pocket card.  Don't you love her beautiful sponging?! 

This card has a hidden pocket between the layers.  See that little envelope sticking out?  

Measurements:

  • Moody Mauve – 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
  • Sponged Postage die-cut 3 5/8" X 5"
  • Inside White 2 7/8" X 4 1/8"
  • Bubble Bath 3" X 4 1/4"

Lastly is this adorable hello card with the cutest envelopes on front!  These are also included in the Sending Love dies. 

She also used the Deckled Circle dies and the Lighter Than Air designer paper (retiring).  The envelopes match the DSP – Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly & Calypso Coral. 

Thanks so much for creating and sharing these amazing cards with us Donna!!

  • Striking and fun Black Magic technique with video!


    I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video. It’s the Black Magic technique!

    My colors include Peaceful Pine, Old Olive (ink only), Golden Glow and White. It features the Fern & Flora bundle seen here.

    What is the Black Magic technique? It’s where you start with a light neutral piece of card stock and add color with sponges or markers. Then stamp images in Versamark and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. The magic happens when you cover it completely with a water based ink (here I used Secret Sea). Then wipe off the ink that does not ‘stick’ to the heat embossed areas. True magic!

    Watch my video tutorial further below to see this technique in action.

    On this card I used mostly the stamp images; only the greeting die-cut is from the dies. I added a few In Color butterfly gems and the pretty Golden Glow ribbon too.

    I created a free project sheet for this card; click here to download it or to print it.

    I made one with Golden Glow as the card base and the other as Peaceful Pine as the card base.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and another.

  • Pretty Fern & Flora card; with free project sheet & video tutorial


    There’s something about crisp white on a card. It gives a feeling of elegance to your projects.

    This card features the Fern & Flora bundle seen here. The designer paper is called Moonlit Flora and the embossing folder is called Fern & Flora and can be seen here. Unfortunately the Designer paper AND the embossing folder are out of stock right now. Very popular products!

    I took a little creative license and added White fern die-cuts here. I love the way they show up against the Moonlit Flora designer paper strip.

    The colors include Peaceful Pine, with White and the new Golden Glow in color.

    Which do you like better? All green and White on the upper right, or the pop of the additional Golden Glow?

    The pretty Moonlit Flora designer paper offers multiple patterns: See it here. Be sure to add your name to the product so you get an email when it’s back in stock.

    I created a free project sheet for this card. Click here to download it or print it.

    I also shared a video tutorial for this card and one more using this pretty bundle. Click on it below.
