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!

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.

- I just loved these. Thanks so much for all your wonderful ideas!!! This class was so much fun!!
- I had purchased the tutorial from you and had a class on Saturday. Everyone really loved it.

Gather Together Tag Punch Fun Fold

October 16, 2020

Check out this fun fold card Deloris made for a recent Team swap. Our theme was fun folds from the 2020 Holiday catalog.

She used the Gather Together bundle seen here and the Scalloped Tag Topper punch seen here.

Save

Her colors are Cajun Craze, Pretty Peacock, Early Espresso & Sahara Sand. The tag punch is pushed in to create the design on both edges and then the sides are trimmed with a paper trimmer. A really lovely design!

I'll be sharing more of my Team Fun-fold card swaps next week!
