Shabby Chic Lovely & Sweet card with video tutorial & free project sheet!


Here's the last card made in last week's video featuring the Nature's Sweetness suite. I absolutely love this color palette! 

It's Pecan Pie with Pebbled Path & Gold accents with a rich monotone look. Look closely at the layout. It's basically a few random layers with only one that's layered.  Adding a few smaller elements creates the balance here. 

Details & tips:

  • Note the distressed edges on a few of the layers. That is done by rubbing your open scissor blade over the edge of the paper.  Fast and fabulous results! *watch how I do it in the video below.
  • The large stamped Pecan Pie layer and the DSP square are both sponged with Pecan Pie ink to age them a bit. 
  • That butterfly is one of our Paper Butterfly Accents colored with a Light Natural Tones blends marker. I added some Gold Enamel Effects in streaks all over it. *see how in the video
  • I added Gold Enamel Effects as berries on the tall leaf die-cut on the left. 

Here's how I stamped the inside.  The greeting is from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set from Sale-a-Bration. 

Here's a picture of the Lovely & Sweet bundle I used here. See it online here.

    This week I'll be sharing the cards I made on last week's FB Live video.  I chose to feature the pretty Wisteria Wishes bundle seen here. 

    Join me here for tomorrow's video. 

    My colors include Orchid Oasis, Parakeet Party and a little Old Olive with White.  This card was pretty instinctive; hanging wisteria is the first thing that comes to mind.  There are a few tricks I used to alter the leaves die-cuts though.  I trimmed off a few extra pieces to fit the stamped images better.  You can see what I did in the video below.  

    This bundle is super versatile!  I made two more cards in the video plus shared a bunch of swap card ideas as well.  You might be inspired to purchase it once you see them all!  

    Products used:

    • Wisteria Wonder bundle
    • Orchid Oasis and Parakeet Party card stock & ink, Old Olive ink
    • Stitched Rectangle dies

  • Get great ideas with the Last bunch of the amazing In Color card swaps!


    I've shared my Flowerbugs Team In Color card swaps the last few days and today is the last bunch. I hope you're been enjoying them.  They really are the best stampers!  

    The guidelines for this month's Team swap was to use at least 2 new In Colors on our card.  

    This first one was made by Candace who used 4 out of 5 of the new In Colors!  Look at this fun layout! 

    She used the Sweetest Cherries bundle, the 6 X 6" pack of In Color DSP and the Stylish Shapes dies seen here.  Her card base is Parakeet Party and the next layer is Starry Sky.  Super cute!

    Next up is an adorable card made by Deloris who used the Sweet Songbird bundle.  

    She used Tahitian Tide, Sweet Sorbet and a bit of Parakeet Party for the leaves.  I love this sweet bundle!  

    Lastly is a fun layout Karen made using the Rectangular Postage punch.  Her colors include Sweet Sorbet & Starry Sky. 

    I love how she added the greeting with the same punch as the first 4 but turned horizontally.  What a fun card layout this is!

    I hope you've enjoyed all of the card ideas with our newest In Color cards.  See the first set here and the second here.

  • 2nd set of Incredible In Color card swaps by the Flowerbugs


    Yesterday I shared the first set of In Color card swaps by my Flowerbug's Team and today I'm sharing more. 

    The first card is a fun fold card made by Karen A.  This is such an easy fold as it's just adding one score line to your standard card.

    She chose to use the Nothing's Better Than stamp set. Her colors include Sweet Sorbet & Parakeet Party with a bit of Early Espresso & Crumb Cake for the greeting & cookies.

    For your card base of 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 1 1/4" and 4 1/4".  The Designer paper is from the In Color prints pack and measure 2 3/4" and 1" X 5 1/4" tall on both the front and inside of the card.  The inside White is 2 3/4" X 5 1/4". 

    Her front greeting elements include the new Decorative Circle punch seen here and the stitched circle die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies. 

    Next up – Annette used the same stamp set; 'Nothing's Better Than'. It coordinates with the Love you More Than dies.  Her colors include Sweet Sorbet and Black with just a bit of Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide & Orchid Oasis for her coloring.  

    She textured her Sweet Sorbet designer paper with the Timeworn Type embossing folder.  

    The tag dies are the Tailor Made Tags dies seen here.  

    Next is a fun fold card made by Marilyn featuring the Cup of Tea bundle.  Her main colors include Starry Sky and Parakeet Party.  

    She used the Layering Circles and Stylish Shapes dies for her circle element.  The pretty texture is the Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder seen here.  

    Her measurements are:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/2" & 6 1/2" 
    • DSP  5 1/4" X 2 1/4" 
    • textured layer 5 1/4" X 1 3/4"
    • inside White is 3 1/2" X 4 5/8" 

     

    The last card I'm sharing today was made by Miles & Laura and features the Flowers & Leaves punch and the 6 X 6" In Color designer series paper.  Isn't it fun!?!

    I'll be back with the last set of wonderful swap cards tomorrow!
