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.

  • Wow! Halloween Scenic cards with Life is Beautiful stamp set with video!

    I am pretty pleased of these two cards I shared on Facebook Live yesterday.  I've been wanting to make some spooky Halloween cards with my Life is Beautiful stamp set and think they turned out amazing, IF I do say so myself!  

    Halloween Save

    This first one features a bright, white moon with a halo of purple around it.  I used a 2" circle punched 'mask' and sponged the Rich Razzleberry and Pacific Point background.  You can get my easy sponging tips in the video below. 

    Halloween Save

    Here I created a window scene with the Stitched Rectangle and Plaid Builder dies.  I share my quick method of creating this window in the video below. 

    Halloween. Save

    I LOVE creating scenes with sponged backgrounds and the Life is Beautiful stamp set is perfect for it!  I used the following inks on the card above: Pacific Point, Rich Razzleberry, Black, Craft White and Pretty Peacock. 

    Do you like the White clouds?  I used the same image on the ground as I did on the clouds.  Love the versatility of this stamp! The pumpkins and greeting are from the Banner Year stamp set. 

    Halloween window Save

    The colors above are Smoky Slate, Black and Pumpkin Pie.  I used a bit of Magic in This Night DSP, the Cobweb embossing folder and Plaid Builder, Stitched Rectangles and Ornate Frames dies.  The little birds are from the Mountain View stamp set. 

    I hope you enjoy watching the video below!

  • Customize your cards with the Playful Alphabet!

    Who doesn't like a customized card WITH your name on it!  You won't find that at Hallmark!  Use the Playful Alphabet dies to create a one of a kind card. 

    I made this for my granddaughter Eliza. She is almost 7 and loves anything with her name on it.

    The color palette was chosen by the designer paper Playing with Patterns.  It's full of bright, unique colors and patterns.  In fact, behind her name is a piece of the paper.  The gradation of colors sure fits the card well doesn't it?  

    I used the Stitched Nested Label dies.  I cut out the letters from the White die-cut and popped that up over a strip of the DSP.  I added some Seal Plus to the bottom edge and pressed my ribbon onto that in small loops.

    Her favorite color is turquoise; just like mine!  I chose two pieces of Designer paper for the card front and separated them with a strip of Crushed Curry.  You can see these products below in my store.
