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! 

Lovely & Sweet Pecan Pie Save

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.

  • Last of the WOW Amazing Team swaps

    Last week (and yesterday) I shared many of our March Online Exclusive Team swaps and today is the last set. 

    This first card was made by Jacki who featured the Encircled in Nature bundle. You can find it here in the Online store.  

    March Jacki Encircled in Nature.. Save

    Count the dies used here; she is never one to keep it simple!  Her colors include Pecan Pie, Shaded Spruce and Early Espresso. 

    The card is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". Then she scored the front from bottom center to the upper left. And she added layers; two layers including the A Little Latte designer paper.  

    It opens as a stand up Easel card.  Isn't it fabulous?!!

    March Jacki Encircled in Nature Save

    She also used the Sweetly Scripted stamp set seen here.  It's unavailable right now but should be back.  No date is known at this time.  She used the double oval punch to hold up the easel layers.  What an amazing card! 

    ~~~

    Next is a sweet card made by Sharon who chose the Fluffiest Friends bundle seen here.

    March Sharon Save

    Her colors include Wild Wheat, White & Old Olive. Lots of texture here with the Exposed Brick and Cane Weave 3D folders.

    I hope you enjoyed their creations.  I love seeing their styles and creativity!

  • Pretty Team card swaps you don’t want to miss!

    Today I'm continuing the March Team swap shares. Our theme was Online Exclusives and wow; did they show these products off! 

    First is a stunning card made by Jonna who chose to feature the Magnolia Mood bundle seen here. 

    March Jonna Magnolia Save

    Her colors include Bubble Bath, Pebbled Path & Lost Lagoon. Her floral image is colored amazingly!  She added a loop of the Bubble Bath ribbon and underneath the flower is a die-cut from the bundle. Her embossing folder is the Softly Sophisticated that is retired now.

    Next is a fun fold card made by Paula. She featured the Friendship Royalty set seen here.  

    March Paula Save

    This set and the Bright & Beautiful designer paper are not in our Online Exclusives but in the Annual catalog. She folded back the front fold 1" and added Bubble Bath CS to it.  The front dies are from our Nested Essential dies seen here. 

    Here's the inside view which I love! 

    March Paula Save

    That wand she created to add over the swirly stars image is genius!  I just love her creativity!  

    Stop in tomorrow to see two more of our March Team swaps. You don't want to miss them!

  • Check out the many OnStage gifts, new products & In Colors!!

    I had a fantastic time at OnStage in Houston with some of my Team last weekend. We spent three full days there and enjoyed fabulous displays, presentations and more.   I thought I'd share some of the photos, products and gifts I received.  

    Us 5 at OnStage Save

    I'll share more in detail on my FB Live later today. See it here on my page or later on YouTube.  I'll also share a bunch of swaps too! 

    Ribbon display Save

    This was the ribbon display; it was huge and so pretty!  Do you spy any new colors here??

    DSP display Save

    They did two walls of designer paper in rainbow colors.  These are not grouped in their paper packs but in color hues.  What do you think of the background color?  

    Now for some upcoming new products….  Remember these were gifts for OnStage attendees and are not available to others yet.  The new Annual catalog goes live on May 1st, 2024. 

    And here are the 5 new BEAUTIFUL In Colors for 2024-2026.  

    2024-26 In Colors Save

    They're just fabulous and will be super popular!  From left to right, their names are Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink (yes it's back from years ago), Summer Splash, Petunia Pop and Shy Shamrock.  

    I'll be offering a special in April on the In Color card stock, ink pads, refills, gems and more.  Stay tuned for the details. I usually bundle it all and offer free ribbon or markers with purchase.  

    We have a new color wheel!!

    Color wheel Save

    We had one many years ago and this tool can be super helpful to those who struggle with color combos.  I'll be sharing ways to use this tool in the near future. 

    Below is most of what I received while there.  A few items are from prize patrols and a bonus class and some were in our beautiful new backpack when we checked in.  *do you spy anything that doesn't belong here? 

    Everything Save

    The big peach case is a super neat craft box! I'll share more details on most of these items in my video today.  

    Spotlight On Nature bundle Save

    This was a bundle I chose for my bonus class Thursday night.  We received a bunch of products to create with including the new In Colors shown above.  I love both the stamps & dies here!  

    Lily Pond Lane DSP Save

    This was my Prize Patrol surprise – a set of 6" Lily Pond Lane designer.  It's part of the Lily Pond Lane suite with a stamp set & dies bundle & pretty gems. 

    Here's a photo of the new & beautiful Annual Catalog cover:
