Thoughtful Journey DSP with Sketched Butterflies – free project sheet too!

Today I'm sharing the second card I made during last week's Live video. See the video here. 

The Thoughtful Journey designer series paper was my focus for the video.  I shared multiple ways to use this gorgeous 6 X 6" paper.  And it's 15% off – on sale through August!

We made these beautiful cards at my July card clubs:

This card has a 3" square of designer paper which means you can get 4 cards from one 6 X 6" sheet.  I layered the square with coordinating card stock and added it to a piece of textured card stock that had Boho Blue ink brushed on it with a Blending Brush. The colors are Boho Blue with Misty Moonlight & White. The embossing folder is called Distressed Tile. 

The greeting and pretty butterfly die-cut are from the Sketched Butterflies bundle seen here.

Did you know there's a simple way to turn a standard card into an easy fun fold?  Simply fold back the front layer of a card back to the score line. Then add your layers to that folded piece.

The inside has stamped butterflies and a greeting from the So Sincere stamp set. The colors in the above card include Boho Blue, Fresh Freesia & Misty Moonlight.

The colors above include Petunia Pop, Fresh Freesia & Mossy Meadow – all taken from the pretty designer paper.

• Create a mountain scene with the In the Grove bundle; video & free project sheet too!

  May 7, 2024

  ---

  I shared this card on last week's Live video. I made a bunch of them for an online swap I participated in.  I just love creating a scene on my cards!  

  Save

  It features the In the Grove bundle; from the new Annual Catalog.  You can see it here.  

  Save

  My colors include Smoky Slate, Balmy Blue, Shaded Spruce and the new Shy Shamrock. 

  Tips: I heat embossed the clouds in clear embossing on the White layer; then used a blending brush with Balmy Blue ink over it for the sky. When you do this I recommend wiping off the excess ink with a slightly damp tissue or cloth. That removes the blue ink from the embossed clouds. 

  That pretty mountain image is all one stamp! One color of ink and one stamp. I stamped the green trees multiple times in Shaded Spruce ink, varying the height each time.

  I hope you like it! Be sure to watch the video below to see how quickly it comes together. 

  Here's a free project sheet for this pretty card; it has photos, directions, measurements and products listed.  Download In the Grove Mountain scene

  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:
