Wow! Halloween Scenic cards with Life is Beautiful stamp set with video!


I am pretty pleased of these two cards I shared on Facebook Live yesterday.  I've been wanting to make some spooky Halloween cards with my Life is Beautiful stamp set and think they turned out amazing, IF I do say so myself!  

This first one features a bright, white moon with a halo of purple around it.  I used a 2" circle punched 'mask' and sponged the Rich Razzleberry and Pacific Point background.  You can get my easy sponging tips in the video below. 

Here I created a window scene with the Stitched Rectangle and Plaid Builder dies.  I share my quick method of creating this window in the video below. 

I LOVE creating scenes with sponged backgrounds and the Life is Beautiful stamp set is perfect for it!  I used the following inks on the card above: Pacific Point, Rich Razzleberry, Black, Craft White and Pretty Peacock. 

Do you like the White clouds?  I used the same image on the ground as I did on the clouds.  Love the versatility of this stamp! The pumpkins and greeting are from the Banner Year stamp set. 

The colors above are Smoky Slate, Black and Pumpkin Pie.  I used a bit of Magic in This Night DSP, the Cobweb embossing folder and Plaid Builder, Stitched Rectangles and Ornate Frames dies.  The little birds are from the Mountain View stamp set. 

I hope you enjoy watching the video below!

  • Be Dazzling specialty paper is sold out! Fabulous Summer Shadow dies projects with video!


    I cannot believe the many ways you can use these Summer Shadow dies seen here!  I shared two bright, fun cards yesterday here and have more yet today. 

    I sure love the leaves in Coastal Cabana & Pool Party!  The flowers are Melon Mambo & Blushing Bride.  

    The greeting is from the coordinating stamp set in the Annual Catalog called Shaded Summer seen here. I love the greetings & font in this set! That heat embossed greeting/die-cut is from the Messages die. 

    Next up I created some colorful cards using the Sale-a-Bration Be Dazzling specialty designer paper.  As of today this paper is SOLD OUT unfortunately.  They did predict they'd run out of this paper before Sale-a-Bration is over. 

    Just so you know, these Summer Shadow dies (and the Sheep dies) are also expected to run out! 

    I used Blends markers to color my flowers.  You can see this in the video below.  The card base is Granny Apple Green and the vertical strips are Poppy Parade on the left & Magenta Madness on the right. 

     Which is your favorite? 

    I'm so sorry that this gorgeous paper is unavailable now.  I hope most of you ordered it while you could!  

    Below is the video where I share lots of cards featuring the Summer Shadow dies and the Shaded Summer stamp set. Click on the photo to watch.

  • The pretty Summer Shadow dies unleashed my creativity!


    I sure had fun playing with the Summer Shadow dies this week. I planned to make 3 cards and ended up with 6! I had to make myself stop, which rarely happens. I started out with this amazing card inspired by one made by Beth McCullough. 

    I die-cut a bunch of flowers & leaves from Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green Coastal Cabana and Magenta Madness and added them to Black CS that I embossed with the Hello & Thank you embossing folders.  The greeting from Shaded Summer is on a die-cut from the Messages die.  See the pink & black gingham ribbon?  It's originally Black & White but I colored it with my Magenta blends marker.

    As you can see in these eye catching cards you can do a lot with these dies!  

    I also made this neat card with a paper piecing technique.  I inserted petals into the outline flower and secured them with tape. The black & White DSP behind the fie-cuts is from the Pattern Party DSP.  It's a huge pack of 48 sheets – a hostess choice with orders over $150 seen here or on page 171 of the annual catalog. 

    The colors are Coastal Cabana, Magenta Madness, Black, White & Mango Melody. 

    The Summer Shadow dies are free during Sale-a-Bration (this promo ends Sept 30th).  Now is a great time to stock up on essentials when you earn free products with your orders.  Card stock, inks, In Colors, Blends markers, Designer Paper etc.  Check these dies out here!  

    I have more Summer Shadow projects to share with you tomorrow! Or check out the FB Live replay video here.

  • Easy 8 Card Wonder with Christmas Season


    Last month my local gals made these cards at class.  It's made with my Easy 8 Card Wonder template.  I just love creating my own designer paper with our gorgeous colors and stamped images!  It's one of my favorite things to create.   

    I chose to use these colors: Old Olive, Early Espresso, Rich Razzleberry, Cajun Craze & Bermuda Bay.

    The stamps include Little Delights, Sparkle of the Season, Thinking, Thanks & Peace; all from the 2021 Holiday Catalog. 

    I stamped an entire 8 1/2" X 11" piece of White card stock using the Christmas Season stamp set.  On the reverse side of this is the printed template so I know just where to cut each piece! 


    You can get the PDF tutorial for this one sheet wonder here on my Tutorial Shop.  Once purchased you'll receive it via email.  Be sure to check your spam or junk folder for it! 

    *Those who've purchased this tutorial from me from my Shop have been sent an updated file free of charge!  

    This tutorial includes 4 different sets of card ideas featuring some of my favorite stamp sets in the past year.
