Amazing Trusty Tools bridge card swap with window sheet technique; so cool!!

Look at this incredible card Jacki made for our Team swap in July.  This month's theme was to feature window sheets.

July Jacki bridge card Save

She used the Timeless Plaid and the Notes & Totes stamp set here.  Her colors include Black, Misty Moonlight, Silver Foil and Pecan Pie. 

Here's the view when you flip the top layer up:

She paid special attention to both sides of her bridge, adding the card stock & DSP layers to both the inside and the front!

That dotted die-cut background is part of this bundle!  She really made the most of the dies here!  See the dies here and the coordinating stamp set here.

This is what it looks like fully opened. The inside greeting is from the With You in Mind stamp set.

    I used Black ink for the greetings and swirls and the In Color inks for the daisy. The Medium Daisy punch is part of a bundle with the Daisy Lane stamp set seen here. Remember that it will not be available as a bundle after May, 2020. Even if both items return in the next catalog, bundles always retire from one catalog to the next. 

    Here's the Lovely Lipstick version:

  • Best Dressed FB Live cards

    I made these 3 pretty cards during my weekly 'Stamp with Me' Facebook Live last night.  

    Best Dressed cards Save

    Each Thursday at 8 pm CT we'll finish 3 cards together in about 30 minutes.   Prep your pieces ahead of time using the measurements I provide and you'll be surprised how quickly you can make your cards!  Join me here: 

    I used the Best Dressed Designer paper seen here but you can substitute other paper, colors, stamps and punches. The stamped greetings are from the Peaceful Moments set here. I use this stamp set so much; the sentiments are wonderful.

    After the video many people share their finished cards. It's so fun to see what products everyone uses and how similar (or not) they are to mine. 

    Here are the details and close up views of these three cards:

  • Color Challenge with Seriously the Best with Ornate Frames

    My Flowerbug's Team had a color challenge this past month – to use Black and White with a 'Pop' of color.  Here's the card I made: 

    Seriously the Best Black White & Poppy Save

    This card literally took me 5 minutes to make.  Here's the steps:

    1. Cut a White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    2. Cut the See a Silhouette DSP to 4" X 5 1/4".  Adhere to the card
    3. Die-cut two pieces a White 2 1/2" X 4"  stitched rectangle and a Black Ornate Frame.
    4. Stamp the greeting and leaves in Black Memento ink.  Add the flowers in Poppy Parade ink. Adhere to the card.
    5. Stamp the 'I miss you a lot' greeting on a scrap of White. Punch out with the Classic Label punch. Add with mini dimensionals.
    6. Add a few rhinestones. Done! 

    You can see the See a Silhouette stamp set here and the Ornate Frames dies here.  Remember that if you order any Ornate bundle from me in April you get a free 3 cards pre-cut kit!  Details below:
