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.

Can you spy some of the new products here? There are 4 of them…..

I’ll help you out…. One is the stamp & die bundle of course; it’s called Friendly Foliage. The other is the designer paper called Brushed with Beauty. Next is that pretty embossing folder called Pretty Patterns of course! Lastly is the gems.

I changed up the card above to use the other coordinating die in this bundle. It cuts out the center of the foliage.

Sneak Peek of new products with a sketch for inspiration

October 27, 2025
On last week’s video I shared three cards featuring a new designer paper coming out in November. It’s called Brushed with Beauty.

Save

My colors include Very Vanilla, Mossy Meadow & Calypso Coral. The stamp & dies bundle is called Words of Beauty and is part of the Brushed with Beauty suite. Demonstrators (& new team members) are able to order it early but you can see and order these new products on November 4th. They’re part of our Online Exclusives – new products released every other month.

This layout was inspired by a sketch. Every month my Flowerbug’s have a creative challenge involving sketches or a color combo. This will be our November sketch inspiration. Sketches are a fabulous start to creating a card or scrapbook page. And they’re just an inspiration. As you can see I did not use a circle but the die from the Label Me Grateful dies seen here. I also flipped the center rectangle on it’s side.

Save

The Words of Beauty bundle will be a great option for greeting phrases. It includes two large sets of dies with the words ‘just’ and ‘because’ and then plenty of words to create your greeting. Plus the die I used with the word ‘because’ below is one of three in the package.

You’ll notice the new packaging in the photo below. All new stamps & dies will be in these envelopes. Also all new stamps will be clear photopolymer and not red rubber.

Here’s the free project sheet for this card; click here to print or download it. Did you know I have a category at the top of my blog where you can see lots of these? They’re great inspiration and include many fun fold cards.

I hope you’ll try this sketch layout. It’s a fun one! When you do, please share your project in my FB group here. We love seeing what everyone makes!
