– a pre-cut cards and gifts class with 12 projects (including 8 fun fold cards!) with envelopes
– a Birthday cards class with 8 cards with envelopes
– printed tutorials for both classes!
– cute surprises and yummy treats
 
*Pre-pay by tomorrow, April 7th to get a free, super cute bonus project!
Registration is closed for this event. 
*Projects will not be stamped but will need mostly greetings; we'll do the rest for you!

  • What is a ‘Live Edge’ card? Check it out and the video tutorial too


    You may have heard of 'Live Edge' tables; but have you ever heard of a 'live edge' card?  Well that's what I'm calling this technique! 

    I stamped the sweet dragonfly repeatedly along the right edge of my White card base.  I twisted the image each time and made sure they were touching or very close to each other. After stamping I fussy cut the edge off from the dragonflies. I think it took less than a minute to trim. I think it's well worth the effort!  

    The Happiest Day stamp set is adorable; I love the whimsical dragonflies and the bold greetings. Having two separate images for the wings means you can change up the colors for 2-toned results.  See the set here.

    Here's how I stamped the inside: 

    Products used:

    • Happiest Day stamp set
    • Inks – Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo, Memento Black
    • Other – Something Fancy dies, Paper Snips, Iridescent striped ribbon, Full of Life DSP

    I love the way the colors fade from top to bottom mimicking the Full of Life Designer Series Paper.  I achieved this with just 3 colors of ink, but stamping off for a few of them. 

    Do you ever stamp off to get a lighter hue of ink? Sometimes it's the perfect shade!

    Check out the video below; I share one more unique card with an easy addition of glimmer strips and a few other ideas as well.

  • Happiest Day card with video tutorial; a simple layout with a gorgeous look


    On last week's Live video I chose the Happiest Day stamp set as my featured product.  It was discounted during the 3 day stamp sale but you can see it here. Here's one of the cards I made: 

    I chose to use our 2023-25 In Colors; Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie and Petunia Pop along with Black. We have glimmer paper in these colors too so I added three strips to the card base at a diagonal.  See it here.  The strips adds a bit of a whimsical look that matches these cute dragonflies. 

    Here's how I stamped the inside.  

    For the hearts I used that same glimmer paper along with the Humble Home Builder punch (out of stock currently).

    The circle die-cut for the greeting is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. These dies are back in stock now! The White rectangle is a die-cut from the Deckled Rectangles seen here. 

    I did not make a project sheet for this card since it's so simple. 

    Here are the measurements:

    • White card base – 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", White deckled rectangle die-cut 2 5/8" X 3 7/8", circle die-cut1 5/8"
    • Black – 2 3/4" X 4 1/8"
    • Glimmer paper strips – 5 1/4" X 3/8"

    Check out the video below; I share one more unique card with a special edge technique and a few other ideas as well.
