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.

Window cards!

July 7, 2020

A few weeks ago on my weekly 'Stamp with Me' Live we made window cards. I called them that because I punched or die-cut a window in the front to reveal the greeting below. Here's one version:

Save

I chose to use the pretty Flowers for Every Season designer paper for this card. There is such a wide variety of patterns, colors and styles in this pretty paper! For the card above I used the Tasteful Labels, the Medium Daisy punch and the Lovely You stamp set.

Here are all three cards I made to get them started. I post the cards, measurements and supplies list a few days before the 'Live' so they can prep and gather their supplies. Or if they cannot stamp with me Live, they can just make the cards using my ideas. Check it out here.

Save

For the card below I used the Forever Fern stamp set in Cinnamon Cider, Misty Moonlight and Crumb Cake.

I punched a 2" circle from the White layer and added a die-cut from the Tasteful Labels dies.

July 6, 2020
This is the last card in the trio we made with the Boho Indigo Product Medley.

Almost everything is from the Product Medley except the punched flowers (Confetti Flowers Border punch) and Stitched Nested Labels.

The vase is stamped in Misty Moonlight and die-cut with the Boho dies in the Medley. The leaves are stamped in Pear Pizzazz.

The little flowers are punched from a piece of Designer Paper in the medley and the centers are added with a Chalk Marker. They're curled up a bit with a stylus.

Measurements:
- Misty Moonlight card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- Designer Paper 2" X 4 1/4"
- Pear Pizzazz strip 1/2" X 4 1/4"
- White & Navy CS for Stitched Nested Labels
Here are all of the cards we made with the pretty Boho Indigo Product Medley. You can see them all by paging through my blog posts the last few days.
