Stunning Marbled Elegance swap cards


Today I'm sharing some card swaps I received from a mail out swap I participated in.   These cards all feature the Marbled Elegance suite seen online here.  

First up is a pretty card made by my friend Kelly Acheson: 

She added a bunch of gold elements plus a fussy cut 'xoxo' greeting. She heat embossed the greeting, used Gold Foil for her die-cut heart and DSP layer plus the new Twisted Gold thread and Gold Adhesive-backed Hearts. Whew!

This next card was created by another sweet friend from Minnesota, Kay Kalthoff.  

She used the Classic Wedding bundle seen here.  So cute!  Love the car with the 'just married' banner added to the back.

Next is a beautiful card made by another Minnesota friend; Sandy Carlson.  

Her colors are Melon Mambo with Gold & white. She used two of the heart dies in the bundle plus textured the White square die-cut with the So Swirly embossing folder.  I love banners and adding that 2" banner on the left adds a good amount of this Marbled Elegance DSP without overpowering the card.

Lastly we have a gorgeous card made by my friend Ruth Bingle from Arkansas. We love to hang out together on our SU trips. She's a doll!

Her card has a center flap opening.  I didn't get a photo of the inside though.  She used the Metal plate folder for her embossed strips on the side.  Isn't that gold textured heart die-cut gorgeous!?

I'll share more card swaps tomorrow.

  • New Artfully Layered stamp set with Plenty of Pattern masks; embossed grid technique & video


    Here's a card made in my series featuring the Plenty of Pattern masks from a recent FB Live seen here.  I think it's super neat!  

    I explain how it's done in the video here.  Basically I laid the mask over my card stock and repeatedly pressed my Versamark ink pad directly over it.  Then I heat embossed with Clear embossing powder & my heat tool. I love this effect!

    The greeting is from the Artfully Layered stamp set in the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog.  It will be in a bundle with the Tropical Layer dies at 10% off.  

    After I created the embossed grid background layer I used a scalloped stitched rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly dies to die-cut a piece from the center.  Then I adhered the outside piece to my Black layer and added the center piece on Stampin' Dimensionals. I wanted the Black to show a bit behind it.  

    The oval die-cut for the greeting is from the Beautiful Layers dies; also from the upcoming new catalog. Adding a 1/2" Black strip brings the Black outer layer forward a bit.  

    Below is the video with this project & lots more!

  • Easy Medallion cards with the Plenty of Patterns masks with video


    I played with the Plenty of Pattern masks on last week's FB Live and here are three cards I shared.  Follow me on Facebook here. 

    I decided to feature some of the pretty 2021-23 In Colors.  This first card is in Fresh Freesia. 

    I used Blending Brushes and Fresh Freesia ink to add the medallion to the CS. The flower in the center is made with our Shimmer In Color Vellum paper & the Dandy Wishes dies seen here.  

    The greetings are stamped on a strip of White CS.  The edges are created with a new set of dies coming out in the 2022 Jan-June catalog called the Tropical Layer dies. It's a scalloped/stitched edge die I ran through twice. 

    Above is Soft Succulent with a Vellum CS flower. 

    Here's a photo of all 3 of them together.  Here you can see three of the four medallions in one of the masks. They're all unique and so pretty! 

    And next is our pretty Pale Papaya color.  The flower center is cut from White CS and the edges are curled up and sponged. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
    • Sponged CS 3" X 4 1/4"
    • White layer 3 1/4" X 4 1/2", greeting strip 1" X 3 1/4" 

    Below is the video with these projects & lots more!

  • A Stunning Christmas to Remember card


    The picture does not do this card justice!  It's stunning in person! 


     

    I received it from Bobby, one of my Flowerbug team members.  It's elegant in the all White & Gold colors.  She added two main layers of the large pine dies; one in white & another in Gold under it offset a bit.  Then a few layered pinecones too.  

    It's made with the Christmas to Remember bundle with White, Gold Foil paper, Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed dots, Gold heat embossing & Gold shimmer ribbon.  You can see this bundle here.  

    The dies are called Christmas Pine Cone dies and can be seen here.
