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.

  • Window cards!


    A few weeks ago on my weekly 'Stamp with Me' Live we made window cards.  I called them that because I punched or die-cut a window in the front to reveal the greeting below.  Here's one version:

    I chose to use the pretty Flowers for Every Season designer paper for this card. There is such a wide variety of patterns, colors and styles in this pretty paper!  For the card above I used the Tasteful Labels, the Medium Daisy punch and the Lovely You stamp set.

    Here are all three cards I made to get them started.  I post the cards, measurements and supplies list a few days before the 'Live' so they can prep and gather their supplies.  Or if they cannot stamp with me Live, they can just make the cards using my ideas.  Check it out here. 

    For the card below I used the Forever Fern stamp set in Cinnamon Cider, Misty Moonlight and Crumb Cake.  

    I punched a 2" circle from the White layer and added a die-cut from the Tasteful Labels dies. 

    Here's the video below:

  • Third card from the Boho Indigo Product Medley


    This is the last card in the trio we made with the Boho Indigo Product Medley.  

    Almost everything is from the Product Medley except the punched flowers (Confetti Flowers Border punch) and Stitched Nested Labels. 

    The vase is stamped in Misty Moonlight and die-cut with the Boho dies in the Medley. The leaves are stamped in Pear Pizzazz. 

    The little flowers are punched from a piece of Designer Paper in the medley and the centers are added with a Chalk Marker. They're curled up a bit with a stylus.

    Measurements:

    • Misty Moonlight card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • Designer Paper 2" X 4 1/4"
    • Pear Pizzazz strip 1/2" X 4 1/4"
    • White & Navy CS for Stitched Nested Labels

    Here are all of the cards we made with the pretty Boho Indigo Product Medley. You can see them all by paging through my blog posts the last few days. 

    The Boho Indigo Product Medley comes with a whole bunch of products all in one box including stamps, dies, beautiful designer paper in 6 X 6" size, textured card stock, die-cuts, ribbon and paper/bead flowers.  The colors are Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy, Vanilla, White, Garden Green & gold. 

    If you purchase this Medley in July you'll earn a $5 coupon code to redeem in August. Yay for Bonus Days!!

    There's even a refill option (without the stamps, dies & ribbon).  It is on back order until mid July but still orderable.  It includes the papers and the flowers.  See that here.
