Window Sheet Pop Up Card featuring Florals in Bloom Suite

Here's my card from the SSS Super Team event this past weekend. I've posted a similar one a wee bit ago. With this one, I embossed the "let joy" sentiment and added some stamped images to the centre circle. Can you see the window sheet as the front of the card? The back is one panel and between the DSP layer and the Window Sheet, I've got a little mechanism to pop it out and allow it to stand on its own. I could make oodles of these...so quick and simple with packing a wow. Enjoy!

Double Diamond Gatefold Card Layout with Delightful Wishes

Here's my take on Tamara Bertram's card from our SSS Super Team Event this past weekend where I highlighted the products from Delightful Wishes with this fun folder we're calling Double Diamond Gate Fold. It's looks very complicated...believe me that was my first thought...but with expert directions this turned out to be very easy to put together. Sure helps use up my always growing supply of patterned paper. I think I have a problem with that. How about you?

White Craft Ink Technique featuring Gallery Blooms

On Saturday, I learned a new technique using White Craft ink and painting it over a stamped image taught by my friend, Diane Hutchinson of Crafts by the Bow. Doesn't this card look amazing with that touch of white ink? We used blender pens to pick up the ink and oh I love the result. It's good to try something new and break out of your go-to techniques and layouts. Thrilled with the result!

Let Joy Bloom with Sweet Blooms

Sharing a multi-layer joy fold card with white ribbon to tie it closed and add some softness to the rectangular layers. I didn't want to cover up all the pretty patterned paper but I think the colours show through all those White and Timid Tiger layers. I love the Sweet Blooms Bundle with die cuts of the woods "bloom" and "lovely". Let Joy Bloom is perfect any time of year! Let me know in the comments what you like about this one.

Botanical Textures Card within a Card

A card within a card: today's project is a postcard for the base with a smaller mini card on the front. Your message goes on the back on a panel of light coloured cardstock like Basic White. On the mini card panels and the front of the postcard show off your coordinating patterned papers. I went with a neutral pairing but jazz it up as bright and bold as you like. The circle on the front is in Real Red - for a departure from typical green foilage and is a great contrast to the greys on the rest of the card. I coloured some of the Nautral Matte Dots with the Real Red Stampin' Blend to pull the colour through.
