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

June 30, 2022

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.

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.

Isn’t that cool? It’s a little challenging to get the angles and layers cut evenly but I share tips on that in the video below.

Peace on Earth easel card with free project sheet & video tutorial

October 21, 2025
Here’s one more pretty card I made on last week’s video. I featured the Peaceful Garden suite seen here.

Save

My colors are Night of Navy with White. The beautiful Peace on Earth bundle and Peaceful Greenery embossing folder are the stars here. I also added Wink of Stella to the dove’s wings.

I created a free project sheet with measurements & directions. Click here to access it.

The easel stands up on the inside greeting layers. The stamp & dies are part of the Traditional Labels bundle seen here. I think this is a must have if you make your own Christmas cards. Inside, I adhered the greeting die-cut to a fold of Misty Moonlight silver-edges ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Below is the video for this card and two more featuring this Peaceful Garden suite.

Peaceful Garden book-binding & gatefold card with free project sheet

October 20, 2025
I love this fun fold layout! I cased it from my friend & team member Tina.

Save

My colors include Cloud Cover with Night of Navy & White. The designer paper is the Peaceful Garden seen here. The greeting is from the Sentimental Framing set seen here. I textured the Navy side layer with the Peaceful Greenery embossing folder. That beautiful die-cut is from the Traditional Labels dies seen here; my very favorite set of label dies right now!

I stamped the inside with Cloud Cover ink (available in an ink spot) and the Textured Notes stamp set. The leaves match this DSP perfectly!
