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

January 31, 2024

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

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.

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

Darling Donkey’s Birthday card

January 29, 2021
The Darling Donkey's stamp set (seen here) is one of the most popular sets in our Sale-a-Bration promotion right now. So I chose to use it for my card clubs in January. We made this cute but easy card:

Save

The colors are Pool Party, So Saffron and Black. That cute designer paper is called Flower & Field and is also from our Sale-a-Bration promotion that runs through February. See it here.

Save

Both are free with any $50 order! I love Sale-a-Bration where we can earn free items with an order.

Sale-a-Bration traditionally runs through March. But this year it's one month short because they're offering another one in July & August!! So we actually get an extra month this year!

The inside is stamped with the third Sale-a-Bration choice called Approaching Perfection. See it here. It has lots of fun birthday greetings!

You can watch the video for this quick card below.

Measurements:
- Pool Party card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- So Saffron 2" X 4 1/4"
- Flower & Field DSP 3" X 5 1/2"
- White die-cut 2 1/2" X 4"
I used the Balloon Bouquet punch with this DSP for a quick accent. I glued the Black & White twine down with liquid Multipurpose Glue. The donkey is colored in with Blends markers.

Striking cards with Pretty Perennials with True Love DSP

January 28, 2021

If the True Love designer paper hasn't caught your eye yet look at these cards:

Save

I paired it with the Pretty Perennials stamp and dies bundle for a recent FB Live. I used Bermuda Bay, Real Red and black. Simple Stamping at it's best! No die-cuts or punches either! Sometimes it's fun to just stamp and layer.

Save

You can see the measurements below. I try to share the printed list in my videos so they're easy to jot down.

Save

Lastly here's the stepped-up card I made using heat embossing and the Perennial Petal dies. See the Pretty Perennial bundle here.

I also used our new Blending Brushes to add color to the white flowers. Love these so much!

Save

Measurements are below and you can watch the FB Live replay video below:

I think cards featuring black and White with a pop of color are so striking and stand out. What do you think?
