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.

You even get a free clear stamping block with your first craft box. Plus, you get a different color ink pad every month as well.

That’s because not only does each monthly arts and crafts box come with clear, easy-to-understand printed instructions, but we also upload a video to YouTube so you can watch a professional guide you through the craft.

  • Thoughtful Journey DSP with Sketched Butterflies – free project sheet too!


    Today I'm sharing the second card I made during last week's Live video. See the video here. 

    The Thoughtful Journey designer series paper was my focus for the video.  I shared multiple ways to use this gorgeous 6 X 6" paper.  And it's 15% off – on sale through August! 

    We made these beautiful cards at my July card clubs:

    This card has a 3" square of designer paper which means you can get 4 cards from one 6 X 6" sheet.  I layered the square with coordinating card stock and added it to a piece of textured card stock that had Boho Blue ink brushed on it with a Blending Brush. The colors are Boho Blue with Misty Moonlight & White. The embossing folder is called Distressed Tile. 

    The greeting and pretty butterfly die-cut are from the Sketched Butterflies bundle seen here. 

    Did you know there's a simple way to turn a standard card into an easy fun fold?  Simply fold back the front layer of a card back to the score line. Then add your layers to that folded piece. 

    The inside has stamped butterflies and a greeting from the So Sincere stamp set. The colors in the above card include Boho Blue, Fresh Freesia & Misty Moonlight. 

    Here's the free project sheet you can download or print: Download July '24 Thoughtful Journey cards

    The colors above include Petunia Pop, Fresh Freesia & Mossy Meadow – all taken from the pretty designer paper.

    Below are all three of the cards shown.  

    Here's the video below to see how this is done plus another card idea with the beautiful Thoughtful Journey designer paper.
