The pretty Summer Shadow dies unleashed my creativity!


I sure had fun playing with the Summer Shadow dies this week. I planned to make 3 cards and ended up with 6! I had to make myself stop, which rarely happens. I started out with this amazing card inspired by one made by Beth McCullough. 

I die-cut a bunch of flowers & leaves from Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green Coastal Cabana and Magenta Madness and added them to Black CS that I embossed with the Hello & Thank you embossing folders.  The greeting from Shaded Summer is on a die-cut from the Messages die.  See the pink & black gingham ribbon?  It's originally Black & White but I colored it with my Magenta blends marker.

As you can see in these eye catching cards you can do a lot with these dies!  

I also made this neat card with a paper piecing technique.  I inserted petals into the outline flower and secured them with tape. The black & White DSP behind the fie-cuts is from the Pattern Party DSP.  It's a huge pack of 48 sheets – a hostess choice with orders over $150 seen here or on page 171 of the annual catalog. 

The colors are Coastal Cabana, Magenta Madness, Black, White & Mango Melody.

  • Colorful Autumn Trees card with a baby wipe technique


    Fall is in the air here in North Dakota.  Look at this gorgeous & colorful autumn tree!  

    It’s made with the new Autumn Trees bundle seen here.  Here’s how I did the tree:

    1. I stamped the tree onto Crumb Cake card stock using Crumb Cake ink.
    2. Then die-cut it with the tree die from the bundle. 
    3. Next I inked up a baby wipe with fall colors of Garden Green, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze.  I rolled it up and pressed it onto the tree die-cut repeatedly. 
    4. Lastly I used a Crumb Cake Blends marker to add more detail to the trunk.  

    I used the Birch Wood embossing folder on the Vanilla background and lightly blended Cajun Craze ink over it.  The greeting is from the More Messages bundle. 

    Thanks for stopping in today!

  • Stack, cut & shuffle card with Gathering Together DSP – free project sheet too!


    Here’s another beautiful autumn themed card I shared on last week’s Live video.  

    Have you ever made a triple stack, cut & shuffle card?  It’s a great way to make multiples of a card layout and use your designer paper.  Simply cut three different patterns of designer paper at 3 3/4″ X 5″.  Stack them together and cut all at the same time.  This way they’ll all fit together well once you shuffle them into 3 piles. What’s neat is that you don’t really have to measure your cuts! Watch the video below to see how it’s done.

    The designer paper here is the new Gathering Together seen here. It’s gorgeous with Champagne foil accents. This paper is part of our Online Exclusives.  To see all of these just released new items click here.  Or download & save the Download Online Exclusives flyer 

    My colors include Early Espresso, Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze.  The greeting and stamped die-cuts are from the Gathering Moments bundle seen here. The greeting die-cuts are from the Traditional Labels dies seen here. They’re my new favorite set of label dies!  

    I created a free project sheet for this card.  Click on the following link to print or download it.  Download Gathering Moments Stack & Shuffle card

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and a neat fun fold card.  I hope you try making these stack, cut & shuffle cards!
