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

February 25, 2021

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.

Butterfly wobble & Bokeh technique with video!

March 29, 2021
I'm excited to share one of my March Club cards with you. This background is called the Bokeh technique.

Save

Sponging a background is a big favorite of mine and when you add the Bokeh technique to it you get magic! I created my own dotted mask by punching a bunch of circles from a piece of card stock.

We made these cards at my March card clubs and they loved it! I used the Vine Design stamp set as well as the Happy Thoughts set; both are retiring and on the Last Chance list here.

Measurements:
- Pacific Point 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
  White sponged layer 3 3/4" X 5"
  White layer (under sponged layer) 3 7/8" X 5 1/8"
  White inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
  White greeting strip 1/2" X 5"
Save

I used Pretty Peacock, Pacific Point & Magenta Madness inks as well as the White Craft ink pad for the light colored dots. You can see the video below. It's so easy and amazing!

The butterflies are created with the new Brilliant Wing dies seen here. They'll be in the upcoming Annual catalog but are available now too.

Save

Here is the video; I hope you watch it. This technique is so fun and unique every single time! Think of the colors you could use!

Sweet Easter Baskets; Quick & Easy

March 26, 2021

Need a quick project for Easter? Or May Day? Or to make something fun with a child? This is it!

Save

I made these on a recent FB Live and it couldn't be easier!

Start out with a square of paper. I chose to use White card stock for the one above since I wanted to stamp my own background with the Circle Celebration stamp set. I chose to use Magenta Madness, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight and Balmy Blue.

I used a 5 1/2" square of White CS for it so I could get two baskets from one sheet of 8 1/2" X 11" paper. Score it at 1 3/4" on all sides. Cut up two sides and fold them up to form the basket. Add a strip of CS for a handle and something fun on the side.  Here I used the Oval Occasions stamp set.

Save

For the butterfly basket on the right I used a 6 X 6" square of Butterfly Bijou designer paper. Unfortunately this paper is sold out now. They hoped to have enough through May but we all loved it so much they ran out! I'm so sorry about that.

Save

The 6" basket is just slightly larger than the 5 1/2" basket; both work wonderfully for holding treats!

You can see the video here. It's a FB live replay; scroll towards the end to see the basket project.

On last week Tuesday's FB live I created a bunch of projects featuring the Circle Celebration stamp set in the Spring catalog. You can see it here.

Save

The Triple Time Stamping technique is when you stamp on three pieces of card stock all at once. I layered just the White pieces in place and adhere them together slightly. This holds them in place while stamping with the fun circle images.

Then you adhere them to the larger Navy card stock pieces. Watch the video below to catch my tips. It's the first project of three in the video.

I used the Tailored Tag punch and the Best Year stamp set for the greeting with a few loops of Daffodil Ruched ribbon.

Save

The colors in the card above are Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight and Smoky Slate. It is my Creative Card Color Combo last week.
