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.

  • Lori’s card shows that the Sunshine & Tulips bundle is a big WOW


    My January Team swap included cards from our newest product offerings – the 2026 Spring catalog and our Online products. Lori chose to feature the Sunshine & Tulips bundle.

    Isn’t it gorgeous?! Her colors include Pool Party, Azure Afternoon, Gold & Shaded Spruce. The paper behind the tulip die-cuts is the Splash of Sparkles specialty paper seen here. It’s filled with amazing colors and patterns!

    This large, stitched edge die-cut is in the bundle. It also includes outline dies for both the tulips and leaves. You can see her tulip die-cuts above – in multiple colors including gold! See this special & unique bundle here.

    Here’s what she did for the inside of her card; so cute!

    Thank you for the amazing card Lori!

  • Gears & Textures bundle; another wow with Candace’s fun fold card


    Today I’m sharing a neat card made by Candace; my talented team member. She used the Gears & Textures bundle to make this:

    You can see the Gears & Textures bundle here. It’s so special & unique and perfect for masculine cards. But as you can see in Candace’s card it’s great for gals too!

    She made her own paper with the stamps in the set. She used Pretty in Pink, Night of Navy & Flirty Flamingo inks. She added die-cut gears from the Metallic Textured Specialty papers seen here.

    If you want to make a card like this start out with a 4 1/4″ X 11″ piece of card stock scored at 5 1/2″. Trim off a 1 1/2″ piece from one end. Then trim off another 2 1/2″ piece which is the vertical center piece. The stamped paper layers are 1 1/4″ X 4″ on the top & bottom and the center is 2 1/4″ X 4″.

    Thanks for the amazing fun fold card Candace!

  • Sweet Encircled with Love Valentine’s card


    Tracey created this striking card with the Made with Love designer paper:

    I love the abstract designer paper pieces she added to her White layer. Then to make sure the greeting was the focal point she added the top square of DSP. Perfect!
    This is a great example of taking leftover pieces of coordinating DSP and layering them up. A great way to use scraps!

    She used the Encircled with Love stamp set seen here along with the 1 3/4″ & 1 7/8″ circle punches. Her colors include Real Red, Flirty Flamingo with White which she got from the pretty designer paper.

    See the Made with Love designer paper here.

    Your card inspired me to look at and use my DSP scraps Tracey! Thank you.
