Sponge Brayer on an embossing folder? Cool effect!


Have you ever used a sponge brayer?  Did you even know we carry them?  We do!  On page 181 of the annual catalog. Click here to see them. 

 

I used Pool Party ink and the sponge brayer to add ink to the flat side of the Parisian Flourish embossing folder seen here.  Then I inserted my card stock or envelope flap into the folder and ran it through the machine.  Super easy!  Then just rinse the ink off your embossing folder when you're done.  Our ink colors are water based so it comes off easily.

I used another 'stitched heart' on the front of this card using the Heart Doilies seen here. The few die-cuts are from the Stitched Be Mine set of dies in the annual catalog. See those here. 

I shared how to do this stitched heart doily in a previous FB live video.  Click here to see it.  It took me about 8 minutes to stitch and I do NOT stitch by hand much at all. Maybe once a year.  That should tell you it's easy!

  • Holiday Catalog Open House displays!


    Saturday I held my new catalog launch party & open house.  I had a wonderful turnout!  Best thing was how much they loved the new products I displayed.  Here are some photos of my projects and swap cards:

    These first few photos show the autumn themed products including the Gathering Together suite and the Autumn Toile sweet. 

    Next is the beautiful Lights of Aurora, the Fluffy Squirrel and Amber Autumn projects: 

    This next photo shows the display in my studio wall.  I always have multiple packs of designer papers hanging on the wall or on my magnet boards.  

    Next up are a few displays with Holiday themed products: 

    I loved playing with the new Joyful Days Memory & More cards. Such pretty pine themed cards!  

    I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my new Holiday displays.  I love holding these open houses because I get to see customers & friends I don’t see regularly.  And I get to cook for them too, which I totally enjoy!

  • Colorful Autumn Trees card with a baby wipe technique


    Fall is in the air here in North Dakota.  Look at this gorgeous & colorful autumn tree!  

    It’s made with the new Autumn Trees bundle seen here.  Here’s how I did the tree:

    1. I stamped the tree onto Crumb Cake card stock using Crumb Cake ink.
    2. Then die-cut it with the tree die from the bundle. 
    3. Next I inked up a baby wipe with fall colors of Garden Green, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze.  I rolled it up and pressed it onto the tree die-cut repeatedly. 
    4. Lastly I used a Crumb Cake Blends marker to add more detail to the trunk.  

    I used the Birch Wood embossing folder on the Vanilla background and lightly blended Cajun Craze ink over it.  The greeting is from the More Messages bundle. 

    Thanks for stopping in today!

  • Stack, cut & shuffle card with Gathering Together DSP – free project sheet too!


    Here’s another beautiful autumn themed card I shared on last week’s Live video.  

    Have you ever made a triple stack, cut & shuffle card?  It’s a great way to make multiples of a card layout and use your designer paper.  Simply cut three different patterns of designer paper at 3 3/4″ X 5″.  Stack them together and cut all at the same time.  This way they’ll all fit together well once you shuffle them into 3 piles. What’s neat is that you don’t really have to measure your cuts! Watch the video below to see how it’s done.

    The designer paper here is the new Gathering Together seen here. It’s gorgeous with Champagne foil accents. This paper is part of our Online Exclusives.  To see all of these just released new items click here.  Or download & save the Download Online Exclusives flyer 

    My colors include Early Espresso, Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze.  The greeting and stamped die-cuts are from the Gathering Moments bundle seen here. The greeting die-cuts are from the Traditional Labels dies seen here. They’re my new favorite set of label dies!  

    I created a free project sheet for this card.  Click on the following link to print or download it.  Download Gathering Moments Stack & Shuffle card

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and a neat fun fold card.  I hope you try making these stack, cut & shuffle cards!
