Thoughtful Journey designer paper paired with In The Grove for stunning results!

I shared this beautiful card on last week's Live video.

It features a few new products in the 1024-25 Annual Catalog;

• Thoughtful Journey 6 X 6" designer paper seen here
• In the Grove dies seen here
•  Spotlight on Nature bundle seen here

This Thoughtful Journey designer paper is incredible! Many people love the watercolor look of this type of scenic paper.

To me it seems the perfect choice for thinking of you, sympathy or get well cards.  

I made a few of these cards with the Lily Pond Lane designer paper too.  You can see both in the photo below:

Here's a free printable project sheet for you: Download In the Grove scene

My card bases are Misty Moonlight and the White birch tree die-cut is approximately 5" X 3 3/4"; as is the designer paper under it.  See the Lily Pond Lane designer paper here.

I think these scenic cards are fabulous.  Those birch tree die-cuts sure make quick but beautiful cards!

  What an amazing scene Amanda created here!  So many details!  I especially appreciate that she colored her hippo in Pool Party; who says they have to be gray?

  Her background is made with the Rays of Light stamp seen here.  The rest is all Sale-a-Bration items.  Her colors include Pool Party, White, Crumb Cake & Crushed Curry

  She stamped the greeting from Amazing Phrases and fussy cut it, placing it between 'waves'. She added Wink of Stella to her water.  The little splashes of water & the life preserver truly make this scene complete!

  One of my favorites was made by Gwen.  The way she added ribbon for a 'towel' on the silver/metal tub is genius!!

  Kelly created a cute scene mostly with the Hippo dies.  Her colors are Smoky Slate, Real Red & Balmy Blue.  The little water splash die-cuts add motion to the scene!

  Mary, one of my Flowerbug team members, made this cute card for her Card Club this month. She used a blending Brush with Flirty Flamingo ink for a soft background.  The lights and bow at the top are from the Tree Lot dies in the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  See them here.

  This cute card was made by Amy Storrie.  I love the sunglasses!  The other neat thing she did was to use the Hippo dies along with the Stitched Circle in the Beautiful Shapes dies so they match up perfectly!  Her Designer Paper is the Cottage Gingham in the Holiday catalog.  

  You can see the Hippest Hippos stamp set here and the Hippo dies here.  Get them both free with a $100 online order and you'll also receive my free July cards kit!  Offer good through Saturday, July 30th.

• Cows or Hippos? Your choice!

  July 28, 2022

  Here's another adorable card I shared in my video yesterday.  I featured projects with the Hippest Hippos stamp set & Hippo dies.  This time I turned them into cows!  It's so easy to change them up!  

  Save

  I simply left the main body white and added splotches of Black spots here and there.  I colored their faces and bellies in with a Light Petal Pink blends marker. 

  I used our new Masking Paper to add 'grass' on the lower part of the card.  I used Blending Brushes for this and the sky.  

  I had left over packets from Club and made a bunch.  I sent them out as thank you cards for online orders.  Did you get one?   

  Save

  Here's a choice for you; which do you prefer?  I shared the lower right card yesterday and changed it up from hippos to cows.  Either works in my opinion!  Get the details in yesterday's post here.
