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.

  • Thoughtful Journey Suite showcased by Judith; our Artist of the Month


    Each month one of my Flowerbug's Team is featured as an Artist of the Month.  This month Judith chose the Thoughtful Journey suite to showcase. 

    Today I'm sharing a few of her pretty cards. 

    This card has is a fancy fold card that has two folds. The Pretty in Pink card base is cut off at an angle and DSP is added. The White front layer is actually a folded piece that folds down over the front diagonal layer.  Very cool and not difficult either. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base – 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2". Then trim off the front half on the diagonal from bottom left to upper right. 
    • White 8 1/2" X 3" scored at 4 1/4"
    • DSP 5 3/8" X 4 1/8" cut in half on the diagonal

    You can see the Thoughtful Wishes bundle here. It's on sale now – 20% off in June! 

    The pretty Thoughtful Journey designer paper is unavailable right now but should be back around June 24th. 

    Next is a unique fun fold card I haven't seen before.  

    She used two pieces of the same DSP and fussy cut the top layer to add it over the lower with Stampin' Dimensionals.  The right side flap folds in towards the center. 

    She used the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set on the inside.  So pretty!!

    Measurements:

    • Petunia Pop card base 7 3/8" X 5 1/2" scored at 1" and 4 1/4". 
    • DSP – front is4 1`/4" X 5 1/2" and left side is 3 1/8" X 5 1/2" 
    • White inside 3" X 5 1/4" 

    Lastly today is a neat idea with scenic designer paper – add a frame to highlight the scene. 

    Judith added a frame made from the Perennial Postage dies seen here. 

    A simple greeting an an extra die-cut and you're card is done.  Letting the pretty designer paper work for you is so smart!


    I'll share the rest of her beautiful cards tomorrow.

  • Under the Moon scenic card with free project sheet & video


    Today I'm sharing the second project I made on last week's video – both feature the beautiful Under the Moon stamp set. It's a scene builder which can be so fun to create with. 

    My colors include Night of Navy, Azure Afternoon, Peach Pie & Pool Party.  

    You might wonder what die the Navy shape is around the greeting.  It's from the Unbounded Love dies – it's a small greeting shape that I cut in half and added to each side. 

    The large white die is from the Deckled Rectangle dies. The greeting die and the fun Navy shaped die are both from the Unbounded Love bundle seen here.  It's one of my new favorites. 

    Here's the video of the inside of these two cards.  One birthday and one sympathy – these stamp sets are both so versatile! 

    Here's the free project sheet you can download &/or print: Download May '24 Under the Moon Club

    Below is the video for this card tutorial and the other shown above.  I hope you watch it to see how easy it is to create with this beautiful stamp set.
