I love the abstract designer paper pieces she added to her White layer. Then to make sure the greeting was the focal point she added the top square of DSP. Perfect! This is a great example of taking leftover pieces of coordinating DSP and layering them up. A great way to use scraps!
She used the Encircled with Love stamp set seen here along with the 1 3/4″ & 1 7/8″ circle punches. Her colors include Real Red, Flirty Flamingo with White which she got from the pretty designer paper.
Black & White with a POP of color & ALL fun folds for my 2nd July card kit to go; or choose the tutorial only option
I'm always drawn to Black & White patterned paper because it's such a fun start to creating. Black & White with a 'pop' of color are usually quite striking, eye-catching cards and these are no exception!
Each one is a unique fun fold design with great pops of color too.
I chose to use the Biggest Wish stamp set for my greetings but you can substitute any set you own. Or add it on to the kit at an extra 10% off.

Get a 2 toned leaf with Watercolor Pencils with the Soft Seedlings stamp set
Here's another card I shared on this week's FB Live video. I continued with the same color scheme of Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam. Who knew these colors would be so pretty together!?
I used the Soft Seedlings stamp set (seen here) from the new Holiday catalog along with the FREE cards & envelopes from our newest Sale-a-Bration line.
I inked and stamped the main leaf image in Soft Sea Foam directly onto the Soft Sea Foam card stock. Then I used a watercolor pencil from the Assortment 2 package to highlight the leaf with the blue/green hue. Afterwards I blended it with my Wink of Stella pen.
These Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam cards & envelopes are a free choice from our new Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here. I love SAB when we can all get something free with our orders! Spend a minimum of $50 and pick something absolutely free!
These cards & envelopes are one of my top picks in the catalog. The package includes 20 envelopes and 10 each of Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam card bases. Today's project features the Soft Sea Foam card base. You can use them for lots of cards in the future!
Soft Seedlings with the new Sale-a-Bration cards & envelopes
On yesterday's FB Live I shared 3 cards featuring the new Soft Seedlings stamp set. The first two featured the new FREE Sale-a-Bration cards & envelopes too.

You might wonder how I achieved the two-toned look of the leaf. I stamped it first in Soft Sea Foam and removed a bit of the ink on the edges with a sponge dauber. Then I added Pool Party ink to those same areas. Huff and stamp! Watch the video hereto see how it's done.
There is a vellum leaf on the stamped leaf for both texture and shimmer. I sponged the punched leaf (Bough punch), sponged a bit of color and curled the leaves. Lastly I added Wink of Stella to both leaves for a pretty shimmer effect.
I trimmed off 1" along the bottom edge of the card base and adhered it to the inside.
Then I cut a white scalloped edge using the Contour Scalloped dies. I textured the 1 1/4" Pool Party card stock strip with the Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder seen here. I LOVE this folder! I attached the embossed layer to the scalloped White trim and then adhered to the card front.
