Thoughtful Journey Suite showcased by Judith; our Artist of the Month

Each month one of my Flowerbug's Team is featured as an Artist of the Month.  This month Judith chose the Thoughtful Journey suite to showcase. 

Today I'm sharing a few of her pretty cards. 

May Judith diagonal Save

This card has is a fancy fold card that has two folds. The Pretty in Pink card base is cut off at an angle and DSP is added. The White front layer is actually a folded piece that folds down over the front diagonal layer.  Very cool and not difficult either.

  • Card base – 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2". Then trim off the front half on the diagonal from bottom left to upper right. 
  • White 8 1/2" X 3" scored at 4 1/4"
  • DSP 5 3/8" X 4 1/8" cut in half on the diagonal

She used two pieces of the same DSP and fussy cut the top layer to add it over the lower with Stampin' Dimensionals.  The right side flap folds in towards the center.

Lastly today is a neat idea with scenic designer paper – add a frame to highlight the scene.

A simple greeting an an extra die-cut and you're card is done.  Letting the pretty designer paper work for you is so smart!

  • Get more cards in the Gorgeous Expressions of Kindness card kit

    This stunning Expressions of Kindness card kit from our Kit Collection was released last month. I made time to play with it a few days ago and it's absolutely gorgeous! 

    Expressions of Kindness all Save

    I liked the cards so well I wanted to make more than the 8 cards in the kit.  It's fun to figure out how to extend the beautiful prints on the cards and envelopes.  I decided to keep it simple and add extra card bases and leave the envelopes intact. 

    See this kit here online:

    This first set of cards are almost exactly as the kit suggested except I saved the gold foil leaves for a different card.  There was enough ribbon to add a few knots on each of the above cards and still have enough for the rest of the 8 cards seen below.

    Below are all three individual cards I made.

    For the following two cards I cut the full printed card bases in half. I added 4 white card bases for the left card below. I felt the printed card with the gold foil accents was pretty enough for the ribbon & greeting image.

    For the card on the right above I cut down the card front to 4" X 5 1/4" and layered it onto 4 Blackberry Bliss card bases as seen below.  This is where I added the gold foil leaves with the greeting.

    You can see this beautiful kit here.  It's $23 and includes the 8 cards & envelopes, a stamp set, Blackberry Bliss ink spot, gems, White ribbon and adhesive.

    Here's the stamp set included in this kit. The flower head fits on the purple flowers to add detail.

  • A Fun Fold card with the Changing Leaves hybrid embossing folder; video too!

    Here's the last card in the group of three I shared in last week's live video. I featured the Changing Leaves bundle from the Online Extras. 

    Changing leaves diagonal duo Save

    My colors include Basic Beige and Mossy Meadow with a tiny bit of white and Pretty Peacock added. That beautiful circle die-cut is the largest in the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. 

    The Changing Leaves bundle includes the stamp set, dies and hybrid embossing folder.  You might wonder what a 'hybrid' embossing folder is? It's a folder that has a coordinating die that works 'inside' the folder.  It cuts and embosses at the same time.  Genius!   Confused on how this works? Watch the video here to see. 

    Changing leaves diagonal duo Save

    I cut out all three leaves from the large leaf die at once and each card featured a different leaf. I thought I was smart to design my swap cards this way and save time too.

    Two cards feature a diagonal design but they're all quite different. Each one includes Mossy Meadow & Basic Beige cardstock though. 

    See the previous two blog posts for the free project sheets.  Or click here to see all of my project sheets!  

    Watch the video below to see how the Changing Leaves bundle with the Hybrid embossing folder works. You'll also see multiple techniques too!
