FB Live Recap: Memorable Blooms Arch

 

Gold-embossing the images from the Memorable Blooms bundle really adds an extra measure of elegance. On my video, I combined the floral images with an arch die cut and placed them over a layer of Basic Beige cardstock embossed with the Exposed Brick folder. Watch the replay here! In April, it will be moved to my YouTube channel, which you can subscribe to here.

There’s a lot of detail in this card, but the result is well worth the time and effort. If you prefer a color other than the hues of purple, just switch the cardstock and ink color to suit your liking.

 

To recreate this card, you will need the following cardstock:
  • Card Base: Highland Heather – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ , scored at 4 1/4″
  • First Layer: Basic Beige – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″, Crop with the third largest arch die, save both pieces

FB Live Recap: Year of Flowers Fun-Fold Card

 

The Year of Flowers bundle has twelve very sweet little flower images can be used for all seasons. For this card, I used the October flower, the marigold, combined with the Floral Delight DSP to make a very simple fun-fold card. You could easily use any of the flowers and coordinate it with the cardstock color and DSP of your choice.

This week’s video will be on Facebook for only 30 days due to their new rules. After that it will be on YouTube for replay viewing. You can subscribe to my YouTube channel here.

Year of Flowers – Happy Spring

 

Here’s a simple recipe for a card using the Year of Flowers bundle that can be adapted to use any three of the flowers you choose. For this card, I went with the Spring months flowers for a nice, bright card to say Happy Spring. The eyelet 3-D embossing folder makes a lovely background for the small flower panels.

  1. Make a card base with Basic White – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″.
  2. Layer onto the card base a piece of Season of Elegance DSP that measures 5 1/4″ x 4″.
  3. Cut a 4 3/4″ x 3 1/2″ piece of Lemon Lolly cardstock and emboss it with the Eyelet 3D embossing folder, then layer it onto a 5″ x 3 2/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock. Adhere this onto the card front.
  4. Use Mossy Meadow ink to stamp the three flowers onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock – you will need about 5 1/2″ x 3″. Crop the flowers using the label die from the Year of Flowers bundle.
  5. Color the flowers using Stampin Blends markers – Light & Dark Daffodil Delight for March, Light Lemon Lolly and Light Daffodil Delight for April, and Light Soft Sea Foam for May. The leaves and stems for all of the flowers use Light Shaded Spruce.
  6. Attach the flowers to the card front using dimensionals.
  7. If desired, apply Wink of Stella to the flowers for a little added glimmer
  8. Use Mossy Meadow ink to stamp the ‘Happy Spring’ greeting from the Storybook Friends stamp set onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock. Crop with the die from the Stylish Shapes set and attach to the card front with dimensionals.
  9. Crop a few of the leaf stems out of gold foil using the Year of Flowers dies and glue them in place with the ends under the greeting.
  10. Add a small adhesive brushed butterfly onto one of the flower panels.

 

 

  1. For the inside of the card, adhere a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Lemon Lolly cardstock to the inside of the card.
  2. Adhere a 5/8″ strip of Season of Elegance DSP to  the left side of a 5″ x 3 3/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock. Stamp with a sentiment of your choice using Mossy Meadow ink. My sample used the sentiment form the Year of Flowers bundle. Adhere this to the inside of the card.

FB Live Recap: Spring Tulips with Mixed Florals

 

The Mixed Florals bundle is one of the new online exclusives and has lovely floral bouquets that can be watercolored for a beautiful effect. For my video this week, I embossed the tulip bouquet with gold and used the water painters to color it. I added some greenery using one of the dies from the bundle and a little ladybug for just a touch of whimsy. In one of my garden beds in my front yard, I have a couple of saucer pots that I actually planted tulip bulbs in last year – I used this as the inspiration for this card, and I love the way it turned out!

FB Live Recap: Quick Toblerone Stocking Stuffer

 

Here’s a quick and easy project to make a stocking stuffer or little gift to give. It is made with a Toblerone chocolate bar (yum!) and is a great way to use up DSP. Add your own embellishments and ribbon to suit the DSP you use. It’s a very quick video, so if you’d like to watch the replay, you can use this link.

You will need a piece of Designer Paper of your choice cut at 8 1/4″ x 5″ and scored on the short side at 1 1/2″,  3″, and 4 1/2″.

Cut a piece of coordinating cardstock at 4″ x 5 3/8″, score just slightly past the 1 1/2″, 3″, and 4 1/2″ mark. I scored about 1/16″ of an inch past these marks. You need to do this to be able to wrap it around the DSP which is wrapped around the Toblerone bar.

Use a scrap of Basic White cardstock to stamp a greeting of your choice and use a label punch or a label die to crop the greeting to attach to the cardstock.

Embellish with ribbon and other embellishments of your choice.
