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. 

Remember I have lots of kits or tutorials available at my Shop here.  Save money on shipping when you purchase more than one.

  • Best Tips for successful Shaker Cards with video tutorial!


    Who wouldn't like to receive a shaker card?!  They're fun, shakable and hard to resist playing with. 

    I made a bunch of these for our July Team card swap featuring 'window sheets'. I love the fact that I could get multiple, colorful die-cut flowers with the Extraordinary Floral Washi Tape and the coordinating die-cut. Just add it to another piece of cardstock and die-cut. So fast & EASY! 

    Notice the sponged green designer paper above. That is the Irresistible Designs 12" DSP seen here.  I added Olive ink to it with a Blending Brush; the printed embossed designs 'resist' the ink.  Pretty cool! 

    I used the Paper Tags stamp set – stamping the greeting directly onto the window sheet with Black Stazon ink. Then I turned it over to add a bit of Flirty Flamingo blends marker on the 'celebrate' part.  

    My colors include Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive and White for a fresh floral card design. Want to know the steps to achieve a shaker card?  Best to grab the free project sheet below or watch the video tutorial.

    Below is the video tutorial for this neat shaker card.  Watch to get the tips for success on making one plus another pretty card featuring the Extraordinary Floral washi tape.

  • Another ‘WOW’ card swap with the Beautiful Butterflies stained glass technique


    Today I have another stunning Team card swap made by Tracey featuring Window Sheets. She featured the Beautiful Butterflies bundle seen here:

    Her colors include Shy Shamrock with Petunia Pop, Black, White & Gold embossing. 

    Here's how she made this card:

    1. Texture the White layer with the Hybrid embossing folder; add to the Petunia layer and the card base. 
    2. Ink the butterfly image in Versamark and stamp on the Window sheet. Heat emboss with Gold embossing powder. Die-cut with the coordinating die.  *she did say some of the embossing powder on the edge frayed off when it went through the die-cut.  
    3. Color the back of the butterfly with Blends markers.  Adhere to the White cardstock layer with Foam Strip adhesive in the center only. Add the center 'body' die-cut.
    4. Heat emboss the greeting onto the Black strip with White embossing powder.  Finish with gems. 

    Here's the full bundle that includes stamps, dies and a Hybrid embossing folder. What is a 'Hybrid Embossing folder?  It's where you can cut AND emboss/texture at the same time!

    And look how she finished the inside!  She used the Baby Wipe technique to achieve a multi-colored butterfly. 

    Thanks so much for your gorgeous card Tracey!

  • Amazing Trusty Tools bridge card swap with window sheet technique; so cool!!


    Look at this incredible card Jacki made for our Team swap in July.  This month's theme was to feature window sheets.

    She used the Timeless Plaid and the Notes & Totes stamp set here.  Her colors include Black, Misty Moonlight, Silver Foil and Pecan Pie. 

    Here's the view when you flip the top layer up:

    She paid special attention to both sides of her bridge, adding the card stock & DSP layers to both the inside and the front!

    That dotted die-cut background is part of this bundle!  She really made the most of the dies here!  See the dies here and the coordinating stamp set here. 

    This is what it looks like fully opened. The inside greeting is from the With You in Mind stamp set. 

    Measurements:

    • Black card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4" – from the top, cut to the score line on both sides at 1 1/4"
    • Window sheet – 5 1/2" X 4 1/4"
    • Misty Moonlight – greeting strip 2 3/8" X 1 1/8", center is 2 3/4" X 4", 4 sides are 1 1/8" X 4", center is 2 3/4" X 4", inside back is 5 1/4" X 4"
    • White inside 2 7/8" X 3 3/4", dotted die-cut 2 1/2" X 3 3/4", greeting strip 3 1/4" X 1"
    • DSP strips 6 pieces at 1" X 3 3/4"


    I'm so impressed; this is definitely a 'WOW' card!  Thanks so much Jacki!
