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.

  • More ideas with the Botanical Layers & Lovely Layers vellum with video


    Here are two more cards I made during last week's FB Live video.  The Botanical Layers bundle includes both the stamp set and the Lovely Layers 3 3/4" X 5" vellum.  

    When I saw this piece of vellum with it's multi-hues vellum I knew I wanted to emulate a mountain scene.  

    I used a direct to paper technique to add ink to this vellum.  This means you rub your ink pad directly onto the paper.  Watch the video here to see how it's done.  

    I used Tahitian Tide, Granny Apple Green & Orchid Oasis.  I stamped the flowers in Black Memento ink.  

    Tip: Vellum does not absorb ink.  It sits on top so it's best to heat set it or let it dry for an hour or more.  

    For this next card I simply stamped a few of the images in the Botanical Layers stamp set onto the polka dot printed vellum.  I used Parakeet Party & Orchid Oasis inks.  

    I also used the Amazing Thanks dies seen here.  A simple strip of Parakeet Party card stock across the card highlights the greeting.

  • Sweet Songbirds is adorable on this cute card!


    We made this adorable card at my May card clubs; it features the Sweet Songbirds bundle and three new In Colors.

    The new colors include Tahitian Tide (turquoise), Parakeet Party (green) and Sweet Sorbet (red) along with Soft Suede.  

    I shot a video of the easy steps to create this card; I hope you watch it.  See it here or scroll down to watch it below. 

    That neat cloud border is created with the Basic Border dies seen here.  I love these dies!! 

    As you can see there are very few layers here; the stamped scene is all you need. 

    See the Sweet Songbird bundle here.  The bird & wing are stamped on a separate piece of White CS and punched out.  They're popped up as well as the sign (done on Sahara Sand CS).  

    Measurements:
    • Tahitian Tide card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • White front 5 1/4" X 4", inside is 4 3/4" X 3 1/2", scraps for bird punches
    • Sahara Sand scrap for hanging sign

    Here's the video for you; click on the photo below to watch.

  • Tea Boutique card with a pocket for a tea bag of gift card!


    Yesterday I shared the cute tea bag gift box below on the right.  Today I'll share details on the pretty card on the left.

    Both projects feature the Cup of Tea bundle and the Tea Boutique designer paper seen here.  

    The card is an easy fun fold where the card base is a quarter sheet of Fresh Freesia card stock.  The Garden Green piece is the part that opens and reveals the tea bag.  Of course the tea bag is optional and would work as a gift card holder also.  

    Here are the measurements:

    • Fresh Freesia card base 4 ¼” X 5 ½”, & 3 X 3” square for tea
    • Garden Green 3 ¼” X 11” scored at 5 ½”
    • Designer paper 3” X 5 ¼”
    • White inside 3” X 5 ¼”
