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:

Thoughtful Journey Club July . Save

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.

  • Best Tips for successful Shaker Cards with video tutorial!

    Who wouldn't like to receive a shaker card?!  They're fun, shakable and hard to resist playing with.

    I made a bunch of these for our July Team card swap featuring 'window sheets'. I love the fact that I could get multiple, colorful die-cut flowers with the Extraordinary Floral Washi Tape and the coordinating die-cut. Just add it to another piece of cardstock and die-cut. So fast & EASY!

    Notice the sponged green designer paper above. That is the Irresistible Designs 12" DSP seen here.  I added Olive ink to it with a Blending Brush; the printed embossed designs 'resist' the ink.  Pretty cool! 

    I used the Paper Tags stamp set – stamping the greeting directly onto the window sheet with Black Stazon ink. Then I turned it over to add a bit of Flirty Flamingo blends marker on the 'celebrate' part.

  • Another ‘WOW’ card swap with the Beautiful Butterflies stained glass technique

    Today I have another stunning Team card swap made by Tracey featuring Window Sheets. She featured the Beautiful Butterflies bundle seen here:

    July Tracey Beautiful Butterflies Save

    Her colors include Shy Shamrock with Petunia Pop, Black, White & Gold embossing. 

    Here's how she made this card:

    1. Texture the White layer with the Hybrid embossing folder; add to the Petunia layer and the card base. 
    2. Ink the butterfly image in Versamark and stamp on the Window sheet. Heat emboss with Gold embossing powder. Die-cut with the coordinating die.  *she did say some of the embossing powder on the edge frayed off when it went through the die-cut.  
    3. Color the back of the butterfly with Blends markers.  Adhere to the White cardstock layer with Foam Strip adhesive in the center only. Add the center 'body' die-cut.
    4. Heat emboss the greeting onto the Black strip with White embossing powder.  Finish with gems. 

    Here's the full bundle that includes stamps, dies and a Hybrid embossing folder. What is a 'Hybrid Embossing folder?  It's where you can cut AND emboss/texture at the same time!

    BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    And look how she finished the inside!  She used the Baby Wipe technique to achieve a multi-colored butterfly.
