Tomorrow is the last day; get two pre-cut kits and save on shipping!

May 15, 2020

tomorrow is the last day to get either of my May pre-cut kits to go. I have two choices! You can choose one or both! If you want both I can combine shipping to save you money.

First is the Quick Cards kit; 10 cards including a few unique folds. And they're not all flowery either! Of course you can 'add' flowers if you'd like to……

Save

This kit to go includes $20 in product AND a pre-cut cards kit; all for $28 plus shipping. The product alone costs just over $24 so you're getting the 10 cards kit for less than $4. It includes a full pack of 6 X 6" Regals designer series paper, a full spool of White Flax ribbon and 1/2 pkg. of Holiday rhinestones.

I used the So Sentimental stamp set on my cards. You can substitute any stamp set you own though.

There are three options for you with this kit. Purchase and see them all here.

First is the complete bundle that includes the pre-cut cards, product, pdf tutorial AND the So Sentimental stamp set for $59.50.
Second choice is the pre-cut cards kit, product and pdf tutorial for $36.
Lastly you can purchase just the pdf tutorial; with no kit or product for $15.

*I have a limited number of these kits available. If you want one; do not wait! Go here to get yours.

**If you are already subscribed to my monthly kits to go I have one of these set aside for you. Do not order another!

The second available kit includes these gorgeous cards! Stock up on your supply of masculine cards with this kit that requires NO stamping!

Save

It includes $18 in products including 1/2 pkg of Come Sail Away Memories & More cards pack and Memories & More cards and envelopes plus a pre-cut kit needed to complete your cards. It also includes one package of Basic Brads, two spools of twine (Navy & Navy/Sahara Sand) and a few Sail Away trinkets.

I have a limited supply of this kit on hand because many of the products are retiring. Many of these items are on sale right now on the Last Chance list here.

Purchase it here by May 17th.

Both of these kits will be mailed out at the end of this month, which gives you some wonderful crafting time.

October 14, 2020
Look at this super cute Fun Fold card featuring the Gift Wrapped bundle seen here!

I LOVE the bright, eye-catching colors she choose; Granny Apple Green & Poppy Parade. Can you see that she used both the Light & Dark colors in these Blends markers?

She also used the Wink of Stella on the punched bow and 'ribbon' on the front. See that cute baby tag? That's part of the punch too!

Can you see how the front flap catches on the greeting on the left? Love this!

Measurements:
- Granny Apple Green 4 1/4" X 8 1/4" and 3" X 6" scored at 3" and two 1/2" X 2 3/4" strips and a 1" X 1 1/4" piece for the greeting layer

Clear Block Stamping; a fun & easy background for quick cards!

October 13, 2020
Have you ever tried Block Stamping? If you have a clear block and ink pads you can do this!

I shared these cards on Facebook Live last week Tuesday. You can watch the replay below. Remember every Tuesday morning at 11 am CT I'm Live on FB here.

I chose a few different stamp sets and inks for the cards I made. I also have a few tips for you when doing this technique.

Save

The above card features Soft Seafoam and In The Pines stamp set. The White layer is 4 3/4" X 3 1/2". I inked the 'H' block in Soft Seafoam ink and spritzed it with a mixture of rubbing alcohol and Champagne Shimmer Paint.

You can use water but that takes longer to dry and I wanted a bit of shimmer. Shimmer Paint mixes well with rubbing alcohol. I added random strips of Shaded Spruce CS across the card. Quick & easy!

Save

This card features Calypso Coral (2" X 5 1/2"), Petal Pink and the Queen Anne's Lace stamp set. The textured layer is from the set of Wrapped in Texture embossing folders.

Save

Can you see the marbling effect here? I inked the block in Seaside Spray ink and then added a few swirls of Misty Moonlight with a Stampin' Write marker. *Watch the video below.

I used the Snowflake Wishes set on this card and the Flowers for Every Season ribbon/twine combo pack. The colors are Seaside Spray & Misty Moonlight. The White layer is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" and the Misty Moonlight is 3 3/4" square – a scrap I had.

Tips on the Clear Block Technique:
- Use a light color of ink
- Choose a block that fits on your card stock
- Ink it and spritz with either water or rubbing alcohol until it almost starts to puddle.
- Add a swirl of darker color with a marker after inking the block and before spritzing.
- Alcohol dries faster than water
- Add a bit of Shimmer Paint to your alcohol for additionals glitz!
- Whisper White card stock works just fine; no need for thicker papers
