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.

• Sweet Citrus; in a Lime version too!

  March 10, 2023

  ---

  The Sweet Citrus bundle can make any citrus fruit you'd like.  I've even seen people make coconuts! 

  I've shared three other cards featuring oranges, grapefruit and lemons but today I'm sharing my 'Lime' version.  

  Save

  I used the Sweet Citrus bundle seen here and these colors: Starry Sky, Parakeet Party and Granny Apple Green. I cased it from a card made by Maheswari Rajaguru.  I think these colors are stunning together. 

  That pretty texture on the card front is made with the new Basic Embossing Folders 3D seen here.  They're in a 3 pack and in our Online Exclusives product line seen here. 

  Did you know you can use our Hybrid embossing folders to texture and die-cut all at once?  You can use the dies and folder separately as well but together it's faster and saves a step.*Watch in the video below to see how it's done. 

  Save

  I also show how to stamp the fruit perfectly using the Stamparatus.  Perfect every time! 

  Here's a photo of the inside:

  Below is a photo of all 4 cards I shared in my recent video featuring the Sweet Citrus bundle. Oranges, limes, grapefruit and lemons!  This bundle is a true gem!
