I love leaves in card making: stamps, dies, patterned paper, embossing folders. All of them. They add just the right dimension. Let me tell you that this new Paradise Garden Hybrid Embossing folder is my new fave! Holly used this and the coordinating patterned paper for her Stampin' Social Swap. Love it so much, I had to get the bundle for myself. You'll be seeing much more of it in my craft projects. Thank you Holly, I love it!
My long time friend and Team Member, Dawn, really knocked this one out of the park for our March Team Stampin' Social Swap! This is a variation on the Arrow Card layout. Still fits in a standard envelope, but packs a wow with the angled look and showing off your patterned paper to the fullest. I've seen a new way of getting your hand cut greetings to be evenly spaced by tracing around the stamp outline with a light pencil. Then cut out the stamped image just inside that pencil mark. You'll follow the stamp's outline perfectly. Love this card, Dawn!
Oh so cute! the only Easter card you need LOL. Today's card was designed and shared by my friend and team member, Jane at March's Stampin' Social Swap. And oh so easy: You need some strips of patterned paper measuring 1" tall by 2 or 3" ish long. Add them to your embossed layer then pop it up onto a card front. Finish off with a small greeting, ribbon/embellishment and focal point. This cute bunny is from the Easter Basket stamp set and die bundle. Ready for Easter!
Holding my Avid Stampers class later this month with a focus on the Gears and Textures Bundle. This is one of the four cards we'll be making at this class, using a collage technique with an assembled variety of the gears in Cajun Craze, Lost Lagoon, Old Olive, Misty Moonlight and Mossy Meadow. The greeting is from Banner Sayings. Wow I love this for the engineers in my life at the day job as well as perfect for a masculine themed card. Switch up the greetings and you've got a winner here!
What a stunning card created by my friend and Team member, Wendy for our recent stampin' social swap. OH MY! So much texture and pretty shades of subtle colours on a Soft Sea Foam background. The bundle is called Fragrant Layers with this trio of flowers (joined by the greeting in the middle) is one of the fab dies in the set. Love this!
