Two-Tone Flora cards; get two cards with one technique!


I shared a bunch of projects featuring the Two-Tone Flora bundle seen here on last week's FB Live video.  

I hadn't played with it at all and couldn't stop once I started!  Here are two cards that may look similar at first, but look closely….

The card on the left has the large, sponged & colored die-cut on the front.  But the card on the right is the colored layer underneath the other.  So cool!  I show how this is done with the small Blending Brushes in the video here.  

I used three colors for these cards – Daffodil Delight, Mint Macaron and Calypso Coral. It also features Very Vanilla which I don't use often enough. I found the small blending brushed worked really well for the detailed areas on the die-cut. You can see these brushes here. 

Here are both cards with the actual colored die-cut piece on the front. 

I accented it with the Sentimental Park, Stylish Shapes and Amazing Thanks dies. Also a few Brushed Brass Butterflies finished the garden feel of these cards. 

Below are the cards that show off the area under the sponged die-cut.  The colorful sponging reveals the die-cut detail on the Vanilla but the flowers and leaf areas are colored. I love this 2 for 1 technique!  I'm sure you have some dies you could use like this too.  

The dies above include the Painted Label and Circle Collection dies; along with the Two-Tone Floral dies for the leaf. 

I enjoy using two-step stamp sets for the wonderful details and hues of color you can achieve.  

I hope you're inspired by this fun technique.  Click on the photo below to watch the video and see more cards with this bundle.

  • Use both sides of your DSP on this neat ‘back fold’ card; so easy!


    I joined a few online swaps in December so I could get lots of samples for my New Catalog Launch on January 18th. I love to showcase lots of products from the new catalogs each time. 

    This is one I made featuring the Friends of the Ocean DSP

    My colors include Coastal Cabana and Pumpkin Pie.  You cannot tell from the photo above that it's a fun fold card but it is. And it's so easy! 

    The Friends of the Ocean DSP is so colorful and fun; here's a peek it. 

    The layered greeting is attached to the right sided edge and it holds the left side closed. 

    How? There's an extra score line 1" from the edge.  The card base is 7 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 1" and 4 1/4". 

    I used the new With You in Mind stamp set for this card.  I love it because the greetings are nice & large and it's my friend Julie Davison's million $ stamp set!  The greeting fits onto the new To the Point punch well and that layers on our 2 3/8" circle punch perfectly.

    **All of these products are coming out in the Spring Catalog on Tuesday, January 7th.

    Here's a link to the video & a different version of this neat, easy fun fold card.

  • Happy New Year! Check out my January Specials


    I hope you enjoyed your New Year's.  If you didn't celebrate hopefully you had some relaxing time in.  That's what we did. Plus organized a few cabinets.  It always seems like a great time to go through our stuff and toss or donate some things we don't need. 

    Today I'm sharing a few of the specials I'm offering to my customers in January. 

    First is a big stack of free card kits.  I put together some printed card bases and envelopes plus Memories & More cards. These will be wonderful for easy card assembly. Or jazz them up with more layers, embellishments & other items if you wish. They're a great starting point to your creative processes. 

    If your online order is over $55 in January I'll ship one directly to you.

    In addition, every online order will also receive a free PDF tutorial featuring the new 'Friends of the Ocean' suite. This tutorial includes fun folds and unique layouts for not only this designer paper but you can easily substitute any you already own! It will be emailed to you within a few days after an online order from my store here.   

    Remember that Sale-a-Bration starts on January 7th where for every $60 you spend you get to choose a free item from the SAB catalog!  I'll share the link on Tuesday, January 7th. 

    The catalogs have been mailed out and are starting to arrive to my customers.
