Welcoming Window – “Miss You” Card

The Welcoming Window has such lovely window and shutters images and dies along with the flowers that the brick image often goes unnoticed. I’ve seen a few cards using the brick image to suggest a wall behind the focal point of the window and flowers.

One of the sentiment stamps says, “Wishing our paths crossed a little more often.” I think this is such a warm saying for a friend who you may not see very often! I have many friends who fit that category, whether through moving away or just the busyness of life placing a constraint on time and schedules.

With that in mind, I looked at the brick image stamp and thought it could be made to resemble a “path,” which I stamped using Smoky Slate ink. I added a few of the flower images without putting them in a flower pot to make it look like flowers growing along the path. For the flowers, I used some of the new In-Colors – Soft Succulent, Polished Pink, Fresh Freesia, and Pale Papaya, then cropped them with the corresponding dies. I stamped the sentiment above the design using Evening Evergreen.

The card base was made with Soft Succulent cardstock. I added a layer of Mint Macaron cardstock on that before adding the Basic White designed piece.

For the inside, I just stamped one of the flower images in the lower-left corner of a piece of Basic White cardstock and left the rest blank to write my own message. I repeated this on the lower-left corner of the envelope.

This card has simple stamping, but with the colorful flowers, it still looks quite lovely. I know the person I send it to will appreciate receiving it!

The products I used for the card are listed below, but you could use any colors of cardstock or ink that you like. I chose the new In-Colors for the flowers, of course!

FB Live Recap: Simply Succulents

The new Simply Succulents bundle includes many stamps and dies that afford a variety of ways to design beautiful cards and projects. I played with this set for the first time this week and knew that I just had to share it on my video. I demonstrated three different ways to combine the stamped images and dies, but there are so many more possibilities! Be sure to watch for more designs coming on my blog.

You can watch the replay of the video here if you missed it.

All of the card bases are a basic A2 size, which is 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″. The first layers are 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″, and the second layers are 5 1/4″ x 4″. all of the stamped and die-cut pieces are scraps of the colors indicated in the video.

Simple Pansy Patch Birthday Card

As I mentioned on my Facebook Live video this week, I love the new pansy Patch Bundle! There are lots of stamps and dies to choose from when creating, and you can opt for flowers made by stamping or just made by using the dies. Whichever you choose, you won’t be disappointed.

For this card, I chose to highlight the pansy dies and used colors coordinating with the DSP. If you haven’t already watched the video from earlier this week, check it out for more ideas using this set.

I will also be sending another idea plus some graphics for the die set to everyone on my email list, so be sure you have signed up for that! If you’re not on my list, you can sign up to the right of this post.

Cut Cardstock:

Card Base: Polished Pink – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
First Layer: Pansy Petals DSP – 5 1/4″ x 4″
First layer (Inside): Basic White – 5 1/4″ x 4″
Second Layer: Pale Papaya – 4 1/2″ x 3 1/4″
Flower Pieces: Scraps of Basic White, Polished Pink, Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, and Bumblebee

Assembly:

Adhere the DSP to the card base. Crop the Pale Papaya cardstock with the largest Stitched So Sweetly die. Stamp the Happy Birthday sentiment using Polished Pink ink onto the upper right corner, then adhere this piece to the card front using dimensionals.

Crop the Polished Pink and Basic White cardstock with the large pansy dies, making sure to crop two of the single large petal pieces from Basic White and two of the large petal trim pieces from Polished Pink cardstock. There’s a tiny die for the flower center; crop a scrap of Bumblebee cardstock with that and be careful not to lose that tiny die!

Crop the leaf and stem pieces from Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen cardstock. Assemble the flower and leaf pieces – if you need a refresher on this, watch the Facebook Live video I made demonstrating this. Attach the flower bud and leaves to the card front using seal and dimensionals, refer to photo for placement.

Inside:

Stamp the sentiment using Polished Pink ink to the remaining piece of Basic White cardstock. Use Polished Pink ink to stamp a small pansy on the lower left corner. Stamp the flower in the following order:

Stamp the detailed image with full strength Polished Pink ink.
Next, use the solid image with Polished Pink ink, being sure to stamp off once on scrap paper so that the pink is a lighter shade.
Stamp the flower highlight with Blackberry Bliss ink, then the center with Bumblebee ink.

Adhere the completed piece to the inside of the card.

For the envelope, repeat the stamped image of the small pansy on the lower-left corner of the envelope.

FB Live Recap: A Tour of the Pansy Patch Bundle

I love the new Pansy Patch Bundle and coordinating Designer Series Paper! There are so many stamps and dies to play with! The flowers and leaves are two- and three-step stamping, making it super easy to create beautiful images. There are simple outline dies to crop the stamped images, and also dies that crop your cardstock to build flowers and leaves. So many choices!

For my Facebook Live video this week, I made a couple of cards with this bundle and also walked you through using the dies to put together a flower simply using the cropped pieces. I will be posting another card tutorial with this bundle on my blog later this week. If you’re on my email list, I will also be sending you some graphics on using the dies, as well as another card idea. If you’re not on my email list, you can sign up just to the right of this post!

FB Live Recap: Hand-Penned DSP Ideas

Let’s face it – many of us tend to hoard the beautiful Designer Series Papers that we buy, simply because they are “too pretty” to cut! I admit I am guilty of that too, although lately I’ve been trying to make an effort to use it on my cards and other projects. I did just that with the cards I made for my Facebook Live video this week. I used the Hand Penned Petals bundle and DSP, trying to feature a few different ways to use the gorgeous paper.

Way To Goat! Birthday Card

Like last week, I am sharing another funny card for National Humor Month using the Way To Goat stamp set. The images in this stamp set are just too cute and bound to make you smile! This card is also rather simple and easy to make, but the embossed foil paper adds just enough bling to it to make it look impressive.
