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: 

Marbled Elegance Kelly Save

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.  

Classic Wedding Kay K Save

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.  

Marbled Elegance Sandy Carlson Save

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.

  • Beautiful Peaceful View card the easy way with video & free project sheet

    For my June card clubs I knew I wanted to feature the Peaceful View stamp set.  This gorgeous stamp makes it easy to create a stunning card with.  I've asked for this type of stamp for years and finally got one! 


    Peaceful View June club Save

    Could you ask for a more perfect background for this image?  Where did it come from?  It's a piece of designer series paper – from the Thoughtful Journey 6" X 6" DSP seen here.   It's absolutely the perfect choice and much easier than creating a coloreful background with ink. 

    THOUGHTFUL JOURNEY 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

    The majority of the papers work well for this stamp so my club members could pick their favorite. 

    We inked the tree scene with Secret Sea ink and stamped on the designer paper.  It's then adhered to a full 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" piece of Balmy Blue CS before it's added to the front flap of the card base (front is folded back once).

    For the greetings I stamped the More Messages stamp a few times and used the coordinating die to cut them all out.  I had tons of greetings for them to choose from.  They then layered them onto another Balmy Blue strip or die-cut. 

    What I love about this latest messages bundle is that the greetings and die-cuts are larger than ever before. See the bundle here.

    Below is the video for this card and another where I show you how to add color to the stamp. I'll share details on that project tomorrow.

  • A gorgeous scene made with Wooded Acres; on the Last Chance List

    I was playing around with the Wooded Acres stamp set and made a pretty scene by adding a blended background. 

    Wooded acres Save

    You may know I love creating pretty scenes with my stamps, ink and blending brushes. 

    Here are the steps:

    1. I stamped this image on a long post-it note and fussy cut the area above the ground off.  I stamped it on my White CS and then added the post-it note to mask the sky. 
    2. Now I added Garden Green ink with a Blending Brush for grass. 
    3. I removed the post it and replaced it with the other half to sponge the sky. I used Timid Tiger, Calypso Coral and Balmy Blue. 
    4. I layered it with Black and White card stock. 
    5. I then stamped the same image on the Balmy Blue card base to extend the trees.  

    What do you think?  

    This stamp set is now on sale on the Last Chance List. You can see the stamp set here.

  • Double Flap fun fold with free project sheet & video tutorial

    Today I'm sharing the second card I made on last week's video.  It's a double flap fold card featuring the Sunrise Sailing bundle.

    Sunrise Saling card Save

    The colors include Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Strawberry Slush and Daffodil Delight.  

    I created a mask for the sun with a 1 7/8" circle punched from a post-it note. I used blending brushes & Strawberry Slush and Daffodil Delight inks. I also added just a hint of Strawberry Slush ink on the bottom of the cloud die-cuts. 

    The Designer Paper is our new 6 X 6" In Color designer paper seen here.  

    I showcased the Sunrise Sailing bundle seen here.  I love the stamp images AND the dies in this bundle.  They're wonderful and really spark creativity. There are THREE different size sailboats in the dies!  

    As you can see in the sample in the photo below you can make a card with just the embossing folder! 

    SUNRISE SAILING BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    You can see in the photo below how the front square flap lifts to the right to reveal a peek at the inside. I added the cloud to the back of this square and placed it so it could 'latch' on the larger cloud to hold the card closed.

    I create a free project sheet for this card. I also share it on the same day as my video on my Flowerbug's Stamp & Share FB group here .       Download Sunrise Sailing Latch card

    You can see the card fully opened below.  I love this easy but fun card fold.
