Striking Botanical Textures card kit or tutorial; Black & White with pops of color!


Many of us love Black & White designer series paper and the new Botanical Textures DSP fills that need.  I love adding pops of color to the Black & White colors!  Here is another new card kit option for March: 

Many of the cards are fun fold layouts.  Reserve your pre-cut card kit or choose the PDF tutorial option.  

This kit includes the following:

  • 10 pre-cut cards with die-cuts and punched pieces
  • 1/2 pkg. Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper (6" X 12)
  • a share of 1/4" White ribbon
  • a share of new Neutral Matte dots
  • the PDF tutorial with measurements, step by step directions, photos and a supply list

The PDF tutorial will be sent to you via email immediately after payment; please check your junk mail.  The pre-cut kit and product will be mailed out at the end of March, barring any product supply issues. 

You'll need adhesives, a paper trimmer to cut your new DSP, greeting images, adhesives & Black ink.  I used the So Sincere stamp set for my greetings; but you can substitute others easily. 

This pre-cut kit costs $31 plus shipping and is found here.  

The PDF tutorial includes step by step instructions, photos, a supply list and measurements. This tutorial is $16 and can be seen here.

  • Beautiful Earthen Elegance monochromatic card with video!


    I shared how to make this gorgeous card in a video a few weeks ago.  I liked it so much I decided to feature it at my August card clubs.  

    I featured the Earthen Elegance designer paper and the Earthen Textures set & dies bundle seen here.  It's all Pretty Peacock and white! 

    There are a ton of die-cuts on this card; all in white. After stamping the vases I sponged the edges with Pretty Peacock ink. 

    After we stamped one of the images in the set onto the large fan/leaf we folded it on the score lines and sponged ink onto the outer folds. 

    Another details – one one card I textured the DSP and then used a sanding block (or emery board) on the raised surface to show off the texture.  

    This stamp set is full of beautiful gratitude greetings. 

    You can see how this is made in the video here or click on the photo below to see it as well. I also share three other cards too.

  • Another way to use the Gorgeous Garden dies in a fun fold card with video tutorial


    I shared this beautiful card on a recent video.  I sure had fun with the colors on this card!

    It's a double-decker fun fold card.  It might look hard but it sure isn't!  All you need to add is a simple box between the middle layer and the inside back of the card.  Watch the video here to see how it's done.  

    Using our Blending Brushes I added the three colors (Tahitian Tide, Brilliant Blue & Gorgeous Grape) to a piece of White cardstock.  I then used the Garden dies to die-cut it out.  I adhered this to the back of the card base before adding the 'box' to create the double-decker fun fold card. 

    I created a second colorful die-cut so I could add extra details to the cards.   

    Supplies:

    • Basic White & Brilliant Blue card stock
    • Vellum Basics specialty paper seen here
    • Inks – Brilliant Blue, Gorgeous Grape & Tahitian Tide
    • Lasting Joy stamp set seen here
    • Gorgeous Garden dies
    • Basic 3D embossing folders seen here
    • Stylish Shapes dies for the circles
    • Scalloped Contours dies for the scalloped rectangle
    • Blending Brushes

    Double-decker card measurements:

    • White card 8 ½” X 5 ½” score at 2 1/8” & 4 ¼”, front textured layer is 1 7/8” X 5 ¼”,
    • White for die-cut 4” X 5 ¼”, Scalloped die-cut 3 1/8” X 4 ½”
    • Box is 3 ½” X 4” – score every ¾”
    • Circle die-cuts – 2 3/4" white & 3" blue 

    Here are both cards shown in the video below. 

    See the Gorgeous Garden dies here. 

    I made these cards on a recent video seen here.  Or click on the photo below to watch.

  • Gorgeous Garden dies & Blending Brushes; wow!


    Check out this beautiful card made with the Gorgeous Garden dies!  


    I think it's stunning.  Don't you love the pretty blending of the greens? I simply added one color to the finished die-cut.  I cut it out from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and added Pretty Peacock ink with a blending brush in a few areas.  Easy!  

    I was surprised that the finished color (after adding Pretty Peacock to Lemon Lime Twist) was close to Shaded Spruce.  Who knew?!  So I added a 1/4" strip to the left edge of the card to bring in that color and also stamped the greetings in Shaded Spruce too.  

    Tip: Adding your colors in two or more ways to your project gives them a cohesive look. For example if I use green card stock I will add a layer of green or a stamped image. If you struggle with choosing color combinations stick with just two colors.  Or better yet try a monochromatic card – add one color to a neutral like white, browns or black.  

    I used the Lasting Joy set for my greetings.  I really love this set with the mixed fonts; I find I use it often.  

    I added a stitched circle to the left side to anchor the greeting.  Both of these dies are from the Stylish Shapes dies; they're a must have! See them here.  

    Here are the Gorgeous Garden dies. 

    I made these cards on a recent video seen here.  Or click on the photo below to watch.
