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.

  • Circle Celebration; so fun!


    I have to share this neat card Chanda made for her Card Club swap.  I love seeing their style and what my gals make. 

    She stamped the images from the Circle Celebration stamp set (seen here) all over her 4" X 5 1/4" White CS.  Then she stamped more and punched and fussy cut them out to add dimension to the card. 

    I believe her colors are Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and Real Red. 

    Such a fun and happy card.  Great job Chanda! 

    I'll be using this fun stamp set in a Kit to Go in May; the cards are so fun!!

  • 3 Flowering Cactus Fun Fold cards with video!


    I created these cards on Facebook Live last week using the Flowering Cactus product medley seen on pages 8-9 of the Spring Catalog.  But I purchased the refill kit instead of the main suite because I wanted mostly the paper, twine and felt accents. 

    You'll find the video below.  For those of you on Facebook you can see it here.  

    I share a FB Live video each Tuesday at 11 am CT.  Join me here! 

    This fold is called a Joy Fold card; a favorite of mine that is basically two half cards folded into one another. 

    The colors are Mint Macaron, Highland Heather and White.   The greeting is from Happiest of Birthdays.  The inside greeting is from Happy Thoughts set in the Spring catalog. 

    Next is an accordion style card.  I kind of made this one up; trying to use just half of a sheet of card stock for the fold. 

    This greeting die-cut is from the Stitched So Sweetly dies and that embossing texture is made with the Tasteful Textile 3D folder.  The greeting is from Simply Succulents stamp set in the Spring catalog. 

    Lastly is a super simple fun fold card that shows off your designer paper well; on the front and the inside of the card. *See measurements in the photo below. 

    The colors here are Mint Macaron, Calypso Coral and White.  The pretty Coral twine comes in the refill kit.  

    Here's the video for you; enjoy!

    At first I thought this card layout might be too simple for my Stamp with Me Live video this week. But the cards turned out wonderful and really highlight your designer paper and greeting!  Join me here on Facebook for 6 Live videos each month! 

    These would be great cards to make a bunch of and you'd use up some of your Designer Paper stash too!

    I'll share a few of them for you but be sure to watch the video below for tips and more. 

    I used the Ridiculously Awesome and Butterfly Gala stamp sets; both are retiring. 

    The dies are Stitched So Sweetly , Tasteful Labels & Stitched Nested Labels *on sale now!

    The Butterfly Duet punch is retiring and is now just $7.20!  See it here. 

    Isn't this Fine Art paper lovely?  See it here; it will retire in June. I really like the way the panels create a type of scene with this layout. 

    Here’s the video for you.
