All Aflutter around the Floral Vignette

Keeping it simple with a three-colour palette, Peaceful Pine, Barely Blush and Basic White, today’s card works on so many levels. First I stamped the white layer multiple times with the large flower from Floral Vignette, then added some Peaceful Pine butterflies from All Aflutter. The Peaceful Pine ribbon is a nice touch that adds a soft element to the project. Enjoy!

Row and Relax on a Waterside Retreat

Sharing a 2nd sample of stepping up your cards with a fun fold presented at the July Global Inspiration Stamp Team event. This time using the Waterside Retreat bundle. I really do like the first card with the boat bumpers or boat fenders hanging on the wall. In the back fold option, we’ve got extra matted layers and the stitched square backdrop for the chair. It sure looks relaxing!

Distressing Embossed Layers are WOW with two-tone cardstock

Another play with two-tone cardstock, this time with Crushed Curry and the Sunflower 3D embossing folder. Used a lighter touch with the sandpaper focusing on the tips of the petals and leaves. Appreciate the soft yellow with black and white accents. Enjoy!

Bringing Best Wishes with Balloon Festoon Dies

Welcome to Balloon Festoon fun. I may have made an error in judgment….Instead of ordering the Balloon Festoon bundle, I got just the dies. That led me to finding a way to use the largest balloon die as a card base and that’s how we landed on today’s project. Tips: With a folded cardbase, place the die down below the fold to have about a 1.5 inch flat edge for the fold. Cuts through both layers of cardstock like butter. Once cut, then emboss the front only. Cut another balloon for the inside. I went with the Words Wishes dies for the front.

Artisan Sketched Vase

Sneak Peek at one of the August monthly card class projects with today’s project. Did you know the Artisan Sketched Garden is chock full of images you can colour in with watercolor pencils, markers, Stampin’ Blends and even use your blending brushes on for a soft look? Or keep to the black and white and add a ribbon and embellishments with Poppy Parade or Strawberry Slush. Loads of possibilities. Enjoy!
