Unique ideas with the Oh So Ombre designer paper; Promo ends Sunday!

Here are a few more ideas with the gorgeous Oh So Ombre designer paper.  It has been my favorite Sale-a-Bration item this year!  

Playing with strips has always been fun for me.  On this first card I started with one sheet of DSP and cut it first at 4 1/2" long.  Then I cut strips off of the main piece at random angles.

Next I laid these strips on my grid paper and stamped the leaves from Forever Fern stamp set on them using Granny Apple Green ink.  

I then glued these strips to a 3 3/4" X 5" piece of White CS leaving a thin 1/16" gap between.  I didn't worry about the edges at all.  After I was done I trimmed them off even with the main White CS.

Next is a fun card playing with the Playful Alphabet and 1/2" strips of this pretty Ombre paper.  I adhered the letters to the end of the paper strip with rolled up mini glue dots and trimmed any excess off that showed around the letter.

The 'birthday' greeting is from Vine Design and the bottom edge is punched with the Postage Punch.  

Below are more cards I shared in a video you can see here.

  • Quick card Ever Eden designer paper strips; just a few days left!

    On my last Monday's FB Live I shared these pretty cards; they feature the Ever Eden specialty designer paper. Click here to watch the video.

    The greeting and butterflies are from upcoming catalogs in January.  The stamp is called Friendly Hello and the butterflies are little, bitty brass adhesive-backed gems. There is one more new items on this card; it's a punch called the Bough punch. Above it's in Soft Succulent shimmer vellum & Metallic card stock.  It punches both! 

    This pretty paper is a special promotion.  You won't find it in any catalog and it's retiring on January 3rd. It's available while supplies last. The colors are gorgeous together – Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, Gold & White.  See it here.

    I shared another version of this strip technique here.  Totally different!

    Tips: 

    • I start out with a 2 1/4" X 4 3/4" piece of neutral CS.  This is what I adhered the strips of Designer Paper to. 
    • I added Seal adhesive over the entire piece and added the strips one by one. 
    • Apply one strip across the middle at an angle first. Then keep filling in. 
    • I trimmed the excess off the edges once I had it well covered with strips.  
    • My DSP strips measure between 1/4" and 5/8" wide and about 3" long.  It doesn't matter how wide your strips are; it looks great if they're different widths.  
    • Add dimensionals to the back of this piece for added dimension. 
    • Add a greeting and accents if desired. 

    Here's the video with details:

  • Geometric fun with an Ombre’ effect; video tutorial too!

    I've been sharing ideas & techniques featuring the Plenty of Patterns masks from a recent FB Live video. 

    Today it's an Ombre' effect created with a grid mask, 4 colors of ink and Blending Brushes.

    The colors I used are from top to bottom: Pale Papaya, Calypso Coral, Polished Pink and Melon Mambo. I used our Blending Brushes to achieve this smooth blended look.  See them here. I love them; they're so worth investing in.  And the nice thing is that the ink can be rinsed out to use them in any color next time.

    I used the grid mask in the set of 4 seen below & here.

    I'm sure you noticed the hexagonal greeting die-cuts.  This is part of a new die-cut set called Beautiful Shapes dies coming out in the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog.  And the Adhesive-Backed Hexagons coordinate wonderfully.  These embellishments come in a package of three colors – Black, Blushing Bride & Just Jade.

    I added a zig-zag of ribbon behind my greeting image; see my easy method in the video.

  • Fun with Plenty of Pattern masks with techniques & video too

    I hope you enjoyed your holiday weekend!  We sure did. The kids come home for Christmas from other cities in North Dakota and we have some fun traditions like an appetizer showdown, presents, lots & lots of games & yummy food.  My kids are still here so the fun continues another day yet!

    Here is another card idea with the Plenty of Pattern masks I shared on last week's FB Live here. 

    This card features an ombre' effect on Vellum card stock using the Plenty of Patterns masks and a new bundle from the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog

    For the ombre' effect I used Night of Navy, Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana inks along with Blending Brushes. You can see how it's done on the video here.

    I kept is super simple otherwise.  I layered the sponged vellum on a piece of White CS and added a greeting and leaf die-cut.

    You can see the Plenty of Pattern masks I used here.  They are so fun to play with; especially if you like sponging or techniques.

    The neat leaf die-cut is in the Artfully Layered bundle in the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog as well as the greeting.
