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.

  • Delicate Dahlias & Very Versailles


    Look at this pretty, multi-layered card made by Roxann. She used the Delicate Dahlias stamp set and the Very Versailles. 

    Her colors are Pale Papaya, Vanilla & Black.  She stamped the Dahlia twice; once on the large Vanilla and again on a scrap to fussy cut.  It's a 2-step stamp set with a DistINKtive look. What is DistINKtive mean?  It's a process Stampin' Up! created that gives a multi-toned look with just one ink color.  

    Look at the detail and multiple hues on these stamps!  

    This stamp set if free with a $100 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  It lasts through September 30th.  See it here.

  • 3 techniques for the Delicate Dahlia’s stamp set with video


    I featured the Delicate Dahlia's stamp set on Tuesday's FB Live.  This stamp set is free with a $100 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion happening now.  See it here. There are three pretty cards using different techniques on each. 


    This first technique is called Watercolor Ink Spread. The colors are Magenta Madness & Mango Melody.  I was going for bright & happy colors,

    This technique involves heat embossing an outline image and adding water & ink.  It is recommended to use watercolor paper but it worked fairly well on our Basic White.  However for larger petals or leaves I suggest you use our watercolor paper. Check out the video below for tips. 

     

    This next set of cards is basic 2-step stamping.  In the video I share a helpful tip on lining up two step stamps.  The Stamparatus can be best for most applications but I was stamping all over the panels and did not use it. 

    All of the images are in this beautiful stamp set. The colors on the left card are Coastal Cabana, Black, White & Vellum.  The right is Basic Bray, White, Bumblebee & Vellum. 

    I did use our Black glittered ribbon on both.  I did heat emboss a flower on vellum and fussy cut it. It's colored with Blends markers. 

    And here is the video; I hope you enjoy watching it to get tips on these two sets of cards plus one more on Poppin' Pastels!

  • Beauty of the Earth in Fall colors


    Jacki made this gorgeous fall card for our Team Swap in August. She featured the Beauty of the Earth designer series paper, Banner Year stamp set & the stunning Be Dazzling specialty paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. 

    She created a window for the cute pumpkin using Layering Circle dies.  It's popped up on Dimensionals for added effect.  

    I love how she added two thin banners of the Be Dazzling paper under her greeting.  This paper is absolutely amazing.  There is no glitter released and it has so much glitz & shine a little goes a long way!  

    *Tip: this Be Dazzling paper is expected to run out before Sale-a-Bration is over.  So get it now here while you can!  It's FREE with any $50 order. 


    Measurements:

    • Early Espresso 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • White 3 3/4" X 5", greeting strip 1/2" X 2 1/4"
