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.

Gorgeous Notes of Nature card with free project sheet & video tutorial

January 29, 2024
I had no idea I would enjoy creating with the Nature's Sweetness suite as much as I did. It's not my usual style but I'm in love with it all!

Here's one of the cards I shared on last week's video:

Save

I used the Notes of Nature bundle and Old Olive, Black and gold accents on this card. The large white layer is made by stamping a few of the background stamps in Black ink. I added two sets of leaves – one in green and 2 the other in the Gold designer paper.

I want to mention what I think puts this card over the top. Of course the gold additions attract your eye but I think repeating colors a few times helps a lot. Notice how the black is repeated, the Olive is and so is the Gold. If you have trouble with color combinations, try adding one color with a neutral or two. Such as Black & White with any color.

Save

More Details:
- I textured the Olive layer with the Exposed Brick embossing folder and used a Blending Brush to add Old Olive ink to it. This really highlights the texture!
- Also notice the small strip of Gold designer paper on the top and bottom of the stamped white layer. This is the Nature's Sweetness specialty paper.
- I added gold sequins and gold Elegant trim near the greeting.
