My favorite time of year – fall – is just around the corner!

Cheerful Daisies/Earthen Texture Fusion

 

Two of my favorite bundles are Earthen Textures and Cheerful Daisies. Each of these sets is gorgeous and fun to work with, but I decided to combine elements from both sets to create this design. I also love the look of the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder as the background for the flowers and vases.

If you’d like to recreate this card, here are the simple directions:

  • The card base is Misty Moonlight, cut at 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″.
  • Emboss a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Basic White cardstock with the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder, then adhere it to a 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock. This will add a nice white frame around the embossed piece as well as give it a bit more strength. Adhere to the card base.
  • For the vases, using dies from the Earthen Textures bundle, crop a large and small vase from scraps of Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper. Use the small handled die to crop a different scrap of Countryside Inn DSP.
  • Crop three bunches of stems from Misty Moonlight cardstock.
  • Crop the little open-work shelf from a scrap of Night of Navy cardstock.
  • Stamp the small flower cluster, one medium daisy outline, two half daisy outlines and the flower centers from the Cheerful Daisies bundle using Blueberry Bushel ink. Use Balmy Blue ink and the solid flower stamps to apply color to the daisy outlines. Crop all flowers with the corresponding dies.

(Refer to the photo for placement of all cropped pieces.)

  • To build the design, glue the tall vase and the three bunches of stems to the left side of the card front.
  • Attach the small vase to the card front with dimensionals. Make sure you leave enough room for the flowers and shelf that go on the right side of the card. Attach the medium daisy and one half-daisy above the small vase using dimensionals. Adhere the second half-daisy with glue, sliding it slightly under the other two daisies.
  • Glue the open-work shelf to the card front.
  • Glue the handled short vase and the bunch of small flowers to the card front above the shelf.

 

 

  • Stamp the greeting from the Go To Greetings stamp set onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Blueberry Bushel ink and crop with the small flag die from the Nested Essentials die set. Attach to the card front with dimensionals.
  • For the envelope, stamp the small flower cluster to the lower left corner of the envelope using Blueberry Bushel ink.

FB Live Recap: Simple Darling Details Card

 

The stamped images and die cuts from the Darling Details bundle do all the hard work for you! No coloring or fussy cutting required. One of the great things about this stamp set is the distINKtive stamps – meaning they are made to do the shading for you. It’s a two-step process – stamp the outline image first, then stamp the solid image right over the outline using a lighter shade or different color ink. This set also had a number of lovely delicate dies to make frames, leaves, and stems.

You can watch the replay here if you missed the live presentation.

Textured Floral

 

The Gorgeous Garden Dies make such a great background for any floral card, particularly a more solid type of stamped image. Here I’ve combined it with the Textured Floral bundle. There are a lot of dies with this bundle, so once you have them cropped you can easily build your card. You can check out my other cards on Pinterest for more inspiration.

Here’s how I made this card:

  • The card base is Soft Sea Foam cardstock cut at 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
  • Adhere a 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper to the card base.
  • Crop a 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock with the flower Gorgeous Garden Die and adhere it to the front with glue. Make sure to add a bit of glue to all the little areas of the die cut so that they don’t get bent when putting the card into an envelope.
  • Using Balmy Blue ink, stamp one each of the three flower images onto scraps of Basic White cardstock and crop with the corresponding dies.
  • Use Blueberry Bushel ink to stamp the larger flower center onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock and crop with the corresponding die. Glue onto the largest flower.
  • Use Blueberry Bushel ink to stamp the flower centers to the two smaller flowers.
  • Using Garden Green ink, stamp one large and two smaller leaf bunches onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock and crop with the corresponding dies. Glue onto the card front — refer to photo for placement.
  • Crop the three leaf stems from Granny Apple Green, Garden Green, and Parakeet Party cardstock. Glue to the card front — refer to photo for placement.
  • Adhere the largest flower to the card front with dimensionals, then glue the smaller flowers to the card front, slightly tucking them under the large flower.
  • Place a large, medium, and small Glossy Dot on the three sizes of flowers — refer to photo for placement.

 

 

For the inside of the card:

  • Adhere a 1/2″  x  5 1/2″strip of Hello Irresistible DSP to a 5/8″ x 5 1/2″ strip of Soft Sea Foam cardstock. Adhere to the left side of a 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock. Trim the ends of the strip to match.
  • If desired, stamp a sentiment of your choice on the white cardstock, or leave it blank to write your own message.
  • Adhere the Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.

 

 

Envelope:

  • Use Balmy Blue ink to stamp the smallest flower to the lower left corner of the envelope.
  • Use Blueberry Bushel ink to stamp the flower center.

FB Live Recap: Two Ways with Dainty Delight

 

For my Facebook Live video this week, I used the Dainty Delight bundle and paired it with the Nested Essential Dies and Gorgeous Garden Dies. I love how the cards turned out! I originally made the first card using Bubble Bath cardstock as the card base and for the frames; it looks very soft and feminine and I have the perfect person to send it to.

Earthen Elegance & Countryside Inn DSP

 

Don’t forget that the Designer Paper sale is still in full swing through the end of June! You can view all of the papers on sale right here. Now’s the perfect time to purchase the Countryside Inn DSP used for this card, or any of the other lovely papers that are on sale.

For this card, I combined the images and die cuts from the Earthen Elegance bundle with the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper. I also added a few touches of Distressed Gold specialty paper for a special touch. While I made this a thank-you card, you could leave it blank for a note card or use sentiments to make it fit for any occasion.

 

 

Here are the steps to making this card:
  • The card base is Basic White – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
  • Adhere a layer of Boho Blue cardstock which measures 5 3/8″ x 3 7/8″
  • The second layer is a piece of Night of Navy cardstock measuring 5 1/4″ x 3 3/4″
  • The next layer is a piece of Countryside Inn DSP measuring 5″ x 3 1/2″

 

Now you are ready to build the design!
  • Using the large vase die, crop a vase from a piece of Countryside Inn DSP.
  • Using Boho Blue ink, stamp the small vase image onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock and crop with the small vase die.
  • Crop another small vase from a different piece of Countryside Inn DSP.
  • Using Boho Blue ink, stamp the small leaves spray image onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock and crop with the corresponding die.
  • Crop two “palm branches” from Night of Navy cardstock.
  • Use scraps of Distressed Gold Specialty paper to crop the jar top and two twig sprays.
  • Refer to the photo for placement of all the stamped and cropped images and glue in place. Note — the only one I adhered with dimensionals is the stamped Boho Blue vase.
  • If desired, stamp the greeting using Night of Navy ink onto a 3/8″ wide strip of Basic White cardstock, trim the ends as desired and adhere to the card front with mini-dimensionals

 

 

For the inside:
  • Adhere a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Boho Blue cardstock to the inside of the card.
  • Use Night of Navy ink to stamp a sentiment onto a 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock.
  • Decorate the lower left corner as desired by stamping a couple of the sprigs images using Boho Blue ink and Night of Navy ink.
  • Place a 1/4″ strip of Distressed Gold Specialty paper at the bottom of the Basic White piece, cover the ends of the stamped sprigs, then adhere the finished piece to the inside of the card

 

 

Envelope:
  • Stamp one of the sprig images to the lower left corner of the envelope using Night of Navy ink.

 

Here’s the list of products I used to make this card. If you’d like to take advantage of the Designer Series Paper sale that is happening through the end of June, you can shop with me here.
