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. 

The Summer Shadow dies are free during Sale-a-Bration (this promo ends Sept 30th).  Now is a great time to stock up on essentials when you earn free products with your orders.  Card stock, inks, In Colors, Blends markers, Designer Paper etc.  Check these dies out here!  

I have more Summer Shadow projects to share with you tomorrow! Or check out the FB Live replay video here.

  • Quick & easy card layout to make multiples of; with measurements & free project sheet


    I shared multiple cards using this neat layout on last week’s video. I was inspired by a card I received from my friend & team member Judith.

    The designer paper is called Autumn Opulence and can be seen here. This specialty pack includes two pages of coordinating printed die-cuts.

    I think this layout is a great way to use your designer paper. You can get lots from each sheet and make multiple cards quickly.

    The greeting is from the Radiant Sunflowers stamp set.

    I used Pecan Pie, Cajun Craze and Vanilla for my colors. That textured layer is made with the Softly Woven embossing folder seen here.

    I created a free project sheet for this card; it includes measurements, supplies list and directions. Click here to download or print it.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card. I’ll share the other two cards soon.
