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.

  • New, beautiful Splendid Autumn card kit to go; now with an exclusive video tutorial!


    Stampin' Up! knows we love scenic designer series paper and they created another winner with the Splendid Autumn DSP. I chose to feature it for one of my September card kits to go. 

    Each of the cards are a unique fun fold layout. I chose these designs specifically to show off the pretty papers. 

    I offer both a pre-cut kit with products or the PDF tutorial option.  Both include the tutorial and now an unlisted video on how to assemble each card!  The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after purchase from my shop. The video link is emailed to you soon after.  The pre-cut card kit is mailed out at the end of September.

    This month's kit to go includes the following:

    • 1/2 pkg Splendid Autumn 6" Designer Series Paper
    • a share of Faux Glass gems and woven gold leaves
    • a share of Wild Wheat rustic ribbon
    • both the PDF tutorial and the video tutorial

    Click here to purchase the card kit to go for $31 plus shipping. Click here to get the PDF tutorial for $16.  *see all of the available kits or tutorials here. 

    *this is the kit my subscribers will receive.   Subscribe here if you're interested in receiving a card kit filled with both products AND a pre-cut card kit.  My subscribers get their kits at a reduced rate.

    I used the Layering Leaves stamp set for my greetings. I LOVE it; it's a go-to for an all occasions greeting set. 

    However you can substitute any greetings instead.  I specifically plan my cards kits so you only need greeting images; not a specific stamp set.

    *I'll share the other new kit for September tomorrow!

  • A pretty Regal Winter Tent card with free project sheet & video tutorial. So easy!


    I haven't made a tent card in a long time! It can also be called an easel card too. 

    This card layout really shows off our pretty designer paper. And it's sooo easy too!  As you can see it's basically 3 layers and an embellishment.  See the Regal Winter DSP here. 

    My colors were inspired by the pretty DSP and include Pretty Peacock, Cherry Cobbler & White. That Cherry Cobbler gold edged ribbon is new; it's fine and easy to work with. 

    The greeting is from the Regal Flora stamp set however the greeting is originally all in one row.  I cut it in half and stamped them separately to fit on my die-cut. They're easy to reposition back together like it came. 

    Here's a view of the inside:

  • Easy stack & cut layout with Regal Winter with free project sheet & video


    This is one of the cards I shared on last week's Live video.  I chose to feature the beautiful Regal Winter suite seen here. It's new from our 2024 Holiday catalog by Stampin' Up! 

    Isn't the color combination pretty?  It's Blueberry Bushel with Wild Wheat & White.  It's interesting that I chose the color combo from the pretty Regal Winter designer series paper but afterwards I realized they are complimentary colors.  Check out pages 132-133 in the 2024-25 Annual Catalog. Blues & purple are complimentary colors with yellow hues. I explain how to do this this in my video seen here. 

    If you have trouble combining colors together start with two main colors.  Using our designer papers as a starting point can make it quite easy. I tend to grab the card stock and hold them next to each other.  I can usually tell if they work well.  But if you can't try using our color wheel information on the pages above.  

    Isn't that double die-cut pretty?  It comes as one die but cuts the main and the outer frame all at once. Click here to see the Regal Flora bundle and here for the Regal Winter designer paper. 

    I stamped the leaf image in Wild Wheat and the blue flower is stamped & die-cut. Next I colored the white areas with a Wild Wheat Blends marker.  Love the golden highlights!

    How did I cut the three pieces of designer paper for this card? I explain in the video below and in the tutorial above.  But basically you stack 3 pieces of designer paper measuring 3 3/4" X 5" and cut into 3 pieces. It's incredibly gorgeous designer paper! 

    As long as you cut them all together it does not matter where your cuts are. You'll get 3 card fronts from the pieces you'll get.  These are layered onto another 4" X 5 1/4" piece of card stock. 

    Below is the video tutorial for this and one other card. I hope you watch it AND follow me on my YouTube channel too!
