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.

    I shared these neat cards on last week's video.  This layout truly shows off both sides of your double-sided designer paper!

    I made the Trick or Treat card before the video and the Winter Wishes card during the video that you can watch here.

    Trick or Treat card details:

    • Them bones designer paper seen here
    • Greeting is from Throughout the Year set (2023 Holiday catalog)
    • Greeting die-cuts are from the Nested Essential dies
    • Black & White Gingham ribbon

    Here's the inside view.  I chose the Pick of the Patch stamp set here. I love the look of the designer paper in the inside of the card!

    Here is the other card I shared:

    This card shows off the Magical Meadow bundle in the greeting and pretty die-cuts. 

    Details:

    • Winter Meadow designer paper seen here – 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 1" and 6 1/2"
    • Mossy Meadow, Basic White & Misty Moonlight card stock plus Adhesive-backed silver glimmer paper for the pretty foliage die-cut

    Here's the inside view; stamped with the Magical Meadow stamp set. 

    The Magical Meadow bundle has been one of my favorites this season.  I seem to reach for it often. See it here. 

    Here is the video for these neat cards.  You'll also find another fun fold card and a quick treat bag too!

  • Easy Treat Bag with video & free project sheet!


    If you ever need a fast & easy way to gift treats or a small gift I recommend this quick treat bag. I shared how to make it in a recent video and you can scroll down to get the free project sheet. 

    It's made from a piece of designer paper that's 8 1/2" wide X 6" tall.  The bag is 4 3/4" tall and about 4" wide at the top.  A nice size!

    The 'Boo' bag is made from the Them Bones designer paper and the tag is also from the paper.  It's part of a full sheet of individual panels you can use for cards etc.  

    I made the Boo bag before the video and the Christmas bag during the video. See this video here.  

    Below is a photo of it open.  I added about 6 small candy bars inside and there was room for more yet! The layered greeting tag holds the bag closed with a mini clip.

    Below is the template but it will help quite a bit to watch the video tutorial here. 

    The treat bag below is made from the O Holy Night designer paper and the Stars at Night bundle.  This pretty paper has the beautiful nighttime scene printed on it!

    I punched two holes in the top of the bag to thread the Silver & White ribbon through for a tied bow. This ribbon is a new favorite; it's sparkly and thin so it's easy to work with. Unfortunately it's out of stock until mid November. 

    Click here to watch the video you can watch to see this and two fun fold cards as well.
