Kintsugi Fractured Card

There's something about pairing a soft yellow with blues. This is Lovely Lemon and Misty Moonlight with Basic White and gold accents found in the Kintsugi Inspirations paper. This layout is called a Fractured Card and goes together quite simply: place your diamond in the centre of the card and add .25 inch strips on all four sides leading off the layer. Looks like more than that, right? I know.

Nature's Symphony makes a simple and elegant greeting

Today's card goes to show you don't need a lot of supplies to make a statement. On your simple card base, add an embossed layer. I always like to include something that blends into the background of the card but also adds texture and dimension. This one's retired - Lovely Stripes - and ticks the box nicely. Then some strips of patterened paper with a focal point and greeting finished off with a few embellishments. Simple and elegant. Enjoy!

Take a seat with the Relaxing Waterside Stamp Set and Die Bundle

Look at all the texture on today's card from my Silver Sister, Glenda Mollett! Even the Scenic Coast Speciality DSP looks to have a linen texture to it on the circle. Love, love, love this, Glenda! The chair comes from the Relaxing Waterside Dies. This will be awesome for scrapbooking, too. Enjoy!

Which butterflies should I use?

These All Aflutter butterflies are the perfect addition to cards. These are the ones I settled on from the ones I stamped and punched out from photo 2. Do you do this? Punch or die cut a bunch and then decide? I just tuck them into the stamp set sleeve and next time I'm looking for one, I'm set.

Pretty Flowers with Boutique Blooms Dies

What a creative way to use these Scalloped Blooms dies! Thank you Marcy Denning for this beautiful card in our Silver Sister Swap. To add texture, scrunch up the cardstock after die cutting (yes I said scrunch it up) and add a little coordinating ink to the edges with a sponge dauber, wedge of sponge or blending brush. Then layer them up. I love how Marcy incorporated two embellishments on the same card - I never would have thought to do that - with the Antique Pearls and new In Color Butterflies. Oh so pretty!
