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.

  • October’s Christmas Cards Class; or choose the tutorial only.


    Last week was my first set of Christmas card classes and in 2 weeks will be the second set.  

    I always enjoy creating the cards for these classes.  It can be a challenge to keep them simple but striking!  Here's this month's set: 

    I chose to feature a few new stamp sets or bundles from the 2020 Holiday Catalog.

    From top left to bottom right:

    • Snow Wonder bundle in Misty Moonlight & black 
    • Poinsettia Petals bundle in Real Red & Mossy Meadow
    • Joyful Holiday with Gleaming Ornaments, Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce & Green Foil paper
    • Life is Beautiful in Early Espresso & Balmy Blue

    Class will be on both October 12th & 16th and we'll make 3 of each card with coordinating envelopes.

    If you're not local to Minot, ND you can purchase the pdf tutorial too. Check it out here to see this one and September's too.  These tutorials are great for personal use or for class projects too!
