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. 

Summer Shadow dies on black Save

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.

    First up is a beautiful card made by Jacki featuring the Sending Smiles set seen here and the Sending dies seen here

    Sept Jacki Sending Smiles Save

    I always love to see out of the box colors for the Autumn season. She used Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow and Pumpkin Pie with Crushed Curry.  The background designer paper is the Inked Botanicals from the Annual catalog.  

    What a gorgeous bouquet of flowers she created.  

    Next is Marla's card – she also used the Inked Botanicals designer paper.  She also used the Cottage Wreaths stamp set seen here on her main layer.  

    Sept Jacki Sending Smiles Save

    The colors include Crushed Curry, Lost Lagoon and Calypso Coral – all featured in her designer paper.

    Measurements: 

    • Vanilla card base 7 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", 2 3/4" X 3 3/4" for stamped front panel 
    • Crushed Curry 3" X 5 1/4" plus 3" X 4" for front panel layer & 1" X 5 1/4" inside
    • Designer paper 2 3/4" X 5"

    Ginny made this last card using the Natural Prints set and Nature's Prints dies seen on page 24 of the annual catalog.  

    Sept Ginny Earthen Textures Save

    She cased this card from Mitusu Crafts; she inked her clear blocks directly in our classic inks and stamped directly onto her card stock.  She heat embossed the 'splotches' using Copper embossing powder.  

    There are so many awesome details here – the colors are Cajun Craze, Pretty Peacock and Pebbled Path.  I love the greeting shape – cut by hand I believe.

    Sept Candace Them bones Save

    She added a strip of the new Them Bones designer paper seen here to her Cajun Craze textured layer (Exposed Brick) and created the gorgeous blended background circles for her skeletons. I believe she used Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Starry Sky and blending brushes.  

    Her skeletons were heat embossed with White powder on Black cardstock, then die-cut with the Bag of Bones dies.  The bats on the yellow moon are die-cuts from this same bundle. 

    This bundle was out of stock for a bit but it's back now! See it here.

    Lastly today is a sweet card by Candace who featured the Pick of the Patch bundle seen here:

    I love her out of the box color choices of Pretty Peacock, Blackberry Bliss and Pumpkin Pie. She used the new Deckled Circle dies for the background of her punched pumpkins.  Her ribbon is new as well – a Vanilla and Black gingham seen here.  

    The photo barely shows off the pretty and new Distressed Tile embossing folder.  It's a new favorite for many!

  • Two Neat Cheerful Daisy Fun Fold cards by Barb

    Barb was our Artist of the Month for my Flowerbug's team in August and made this super neat card with the Fresh as a Daisy designer paper and the Cheerful Daisy bundle seen here.

    August Barb Fresh as a Daisy fold Save

    It uses a long piece of the designer paper, scored and folded to create most of the card.  She cased the idea from Patty Bennett. 

    She added two layers of die-cut daisies to the folds using layered circles as a base for them.  

    Measurements:

    Start out with a 5 1/4" X 12" piece of designer paper and score it at 2", 4" and 6".  Adhere the paper together on the score lines. Then add to a full card base measuring 4 1/4" X 5 1/2".  Now embellish with your die-cuts or punches, layering them in different heights.

    The inside has a die-cut from the Scalloped Contours dies.  

    Next is a beautiful Double-Decker fun fold card featuring Blueberry Bushel and White.  

    August Barb Cheerful Daisies double pop up Save

    I made a card like this on a recent video; see it here.  

    This card looks a bit intimidating – at least it did to me – until I tried one.  It's actually quite easy.  

    August Barb double pop up Save

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
    • White front 2 1/2" X 3 1/2", die-cut scalloped rectangle 3 1/8" X 4 3/8" finished, front texture 1 7/8" X 5 1/4" 
    • White box for double-decker 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" score every 3/4" and form into a box 
    • Blueberry Bushel 2 3/4" X 3 3/4"
