Splendid Day cards with an easy background technique; video too.


Check out this pretty card using the Splendid Thoughts bundle.  I shared how to make it in a recent Live video seen here.  

I think the Brick background is so pretty with the die-cuts.  I used the 'Direct to Paper' technique.  I used the Brick Wall embossing folder on the Calypso Coral CS and then used an open White Craft ink pad to lightly brush ink onto the textured CS.  I purposely keep my White Craft ink less inked than desired because I love doing this!  If yours is well inked you may want to use a sponge instead.  

The colors include White, Calypso Coral, Soft Sea Foam and Petal Pink.  The Splendid Day Specialty designer paper is gorgeous and full of Foil & Copper accents on one side and subtle prints on the other.  Here's what the entire suite looks like.  It will be available tomorrow, July 1st.

You can get a share of this beautiful paper in my new Holiday Catalog paper share.  Reserve yours here now! 


I stamped a few of the die-cuts and the greeting in Smoky Slate ink.  I fussy cut the greeting and added it to the curved 'half circle' die-cut over the ribbon.  I'll share more Splendid Thoughts projects tomorrow.

  • Neat fun fold card with a Blends/embossing technique with Fields in Bloom; video & free project sheet too!


    I really love the card I'm sharing with you today.  In addition to it being a unique fun fold there are so many great details! 

    I used the Fields in Bloom & Everyday Greetings stamp sets which are both wonderful. But what makes this card so special is the technique and the fun fold. 

    There is a second folded card under the window; inside the main card base.  For the window, I used the Everyday Details dies seen here.  They are in the online store now but were in last year's catalog. It creates a perfect window for the hill of flowers scene. 

    I stamped the flowers and leaves images in Versamark and heat embossed them in White.  Then I used Blends markers to color the embossed flowers & leaves. This is such a fun technique and super easy too.  I love that I can get these two large images colored in multiple colors this way. Please watch the video here to see how it's done. 

    It's photopolymer so you can see just where to stamp each image over the other.  Watch the video here or below to see how simple it is. 

    My colors include Lemon Lolly, Shaded Spruce and a bit of Petunia Pop. Here's a shot of the window & fun fold aspect of this card.

    I used the new Everyday Greetings set for my greeting images.  See it here; it's in the online store.  

    I created a free project sheet for you. Click on the following link to download or print it. Download Fields in Bloom window card

    Below you can see the video tutorial for this card and two more card idea for the Fields in Bloom set.
