Two more card kits & tutorial are now available for pre-order!
I chose the Painted Patch designer series paper for one of my October card kits & tutorials (I have 3 this month!). The colors are incredible together and the patterns are fresh & fun. Look at these Fun Fold cards!
This card kit includes 5 sets of cards and you’ll make 2 of each one. This kit is all unique fun fold layouts.
I paired the Painted Patch DSP with the Painted Patch gems and the Calypso Coral & Copper ribbon. You’ll get a share of each of these products along with the 10 pre-cut cards and the PDF tutorial. Everything is pre-cut for you except the package of DSP. You’ll use the directions in the tutorial to cut your new paper. It’s so easy to create these cards when it’s all ready to go.
I create my kits so you do not need a specific stamp set to finish them. All you need are some greeting images and a few inks.
This kit can be seen here. It’s $32 plus shipping (order more than one to save $$). There is also a PDF tutorial available for $17. See that here.
The tutorials are emailed to you immediately after payment. The pre-cut kits are mailed out at the end of October.
I’ll share the third card kit tomorrow; it’s a Christmas card kit! Here’s a sneak peek:
I stamped him/her in Smoky Slate and added a tiny bit of blush on his cheeks. I added a light line of Pool Party blends marker around the edge. The designer papers on this card include the Heart & Home and Hand Penned DSP's. These will likely be on the retiring list which comes out on Wednesday, March 23rd.
They could choose between the bunny or the duck. The duck is colored in with Blends markers; So Saffron & Pale Papaya. All greetings are from the Easter Friends stamp set; stamped in Basic Gray.
Sentimental Swirls; a super fun stamp set with a Video for multiple card ideas!
I played with the Sentimental Swirls stamp set on last Tuesday's FB Live video. Honestly I didn't want to stop! This set is so friendly and easy to create with.
Here I stamped the swirls and leaves first using Black Memento ink. I added the solid leaf image using Granny Apple Green. Then added texture with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder.
The flowers were stamped on scraps of White paper and colored in with Blends markers. I curled them a bit and added with mini dimensionals. The bird is fussy cut and added with Dimensionals.
The card on the left below features the dot coloring technique. I used the bullet tip of my Blends markers to color the flowers. Fun technique! Watch the video below to see it in action.
This set coordinates beautifully with the Flowers & Leaves punch in the Annual Catalog. Below you see both cards along with the coordinating stamp set & punch.
For the next card I again stamped the lovely swirl in Black Memento ink onto a scalloped rectangle from the Scalloped Contours dies. I added a few sets of leaves here and there among the swirls. The flowers were stamped on a separate scrap of White and punched out.
I also shared this cute card too. I stamped a scattered background on a piece of White CS before texturing it with the same Tasteful Textile embossing folder. It is my 'go to' choice for a simple texture.
The color here is Polished Pink with bits of Pale Papaya, Granny Apple Green & Coastal Cabana. The White tag is 2" X 3 1/4" & the smaller Polished Pink is 1 3/4" wide.

How to achieve the Floating Technique? Lots of examples!
Our current Team creative challenge for my Flowerbug's group is to make a card using the Floating Technique. It's a fun technique that uses a window sheet or transparency.
Here are some of mine I shared on a recent Facebook Live video you can see here.
This first one features Black & White with a 'pop' of color – Magenta Madness in this case. Magenta Madness is retiring next week!
I used the Dandy Wishes dies and the Layering Circles dies here. I adhered a bunch of strips of the All Together designer paper to a window sheet, leaving space between them. I cut it out with the largest circle in the set and popped it up on a Gingham textured White layer.
I added die-cuts from the neat Dandy Wishes dies and a heat embossed image from the Garden Wishes stamp set. This set is in a bundle with the Dandy Wishes dies and on sale in March! See it here.
This next card features Misty Moonlight and the Abstract Beauty DSP. I cut the feathers from this pretty DSP that has touches of Gold on it using the Iconic dies seen here.
For this card the window sheet is a simple rectangle. After adding the feathers I trimmed off the excess and added it to the card with mini dimensionals.
Other details:
the greeting die-cuts are the Amazing Thanks dies seen here.
The textured White layer is done with the Bark 3D embossing folder.
That strip of gold & white strips is also from the Abstract Beauty DSP.
Colors are Gold, White, Misty Moonlight and Night of Navy
Next is a card done in purples – Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather & Gorgeous Grape.
