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.

  • 2 fabulous new Kits in our Kit Collection


    At the beginning of each month Stampin’ Up! adds at least 2 new kits in their online Kit Collection. This month they’re extra special!

    First is a 9 card kit called Painted Skies and it’s a big WOW.

    See what I mean? This is an all inclusive kit that has no stamping required. You’ll be especially proud to give these cards away.

    Each one is a fun fold card that opens once and then once more. It comes with everything you need to complete them. Pre-stamped greetings, die-cut beachy elements, Dimensionals, gems and adhesive. It’s $18 and you can see it here.

    The second new kit is a big Scrapbooking kit called Sunniest Stories and can be seen here.

    It can create at least 12 pages like the two above! That’s 6 double layouts in 12 X 12″ size.
    It includes the following:

    Step-by-step instructions

    -12 sheets of single-sided Designer Series Paper

    -4 sheets of precut images and phrases & 4 sheets of cut-apart designs

    -20 colored and patterned 4″ x 6″ cards

    -1 sheet of printed stickers

    -8 yards (7.3 m) of Tear & Tape Adhesive, 100 Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals & 50 Mini Glue Dots

  • A WOW card with Swirled Designs


    This is one of those cards you will not soon forget; the Swirled Designs bundle is so cool!

    See what I mean? The colors include Blueberry Bushel, Shaded Spruce & White. Striking, bold colors for a celebratory card. The stars are die-cuts from the Swirled Designs dies.

    The Swirled Designs bundle was a sleeper; not many people have used it. But once you do…. you’ll want to use it over and over. See the stamp set here and the dies here. You can choose the bundle here, but the dies are discounted which makes it almost the same cost to order separately. It’s on the Last Chance list unfortunately; only available while supplies last.

    For the greetings I used the Reason to Celebrate stamp set. Wonderful and specific greeting images you will love. See it here.

    It’s a simple fun fold card where you score the front one extra time. I used the Garden Poetry DSP for the left side panel. That’s where I got the idea for my colors.

    If you’d like the free project sheet for this card click here. You can download or print it for future projects.

    Below is the video tutorial. Please follow me on Facebook here or my YouTube Channel here so you don’t miss a thing!
