From Fab to Fabulous with Moonlit Flora and the new Hot Foil System

Here are some standard card and stepped up cards featured during my presentation at the July GlobalInspiration Stamp Team event. The standard card is beautiful all on its own with a floral focal point on a white circle. The stepped up version is a back fold fun fold layout using the new Hot Foil Dies (Butterfly Flight and Classic Greetings). What a delightful way to go from fab to fabulous! Enjoy!

Two-Tone Cardstock for the win!

Happy Holiday Monday! Here in Ontario we celebrate it as a Civic Holiday. Locally, in Guelph, where I live, we call it John Galt Day in recognition of the founder of Guelph, ON.

I finally cracked open a package of two-tone cardstock to see what all the excitement is about and it’s real! One side of our two-tone is a light and the other a dark shade of the colour with a white inner core. This makes it perfect for sanding, embossing, and distressing on your cards and paper projects. That’s how I got the rustic look on today’s card: embossed with the Fern & Flora embossing folder and distressed with a piece of sandpaper. Enjoy!

Cute Masculine Bicycle Card

Sneak Peek at one of three August Monthly card class projects. A sweet birthday card using the bicycle images from the Waterside Retreat patterned paper pack. To get some coordinating twine in Cajun Craze, I used my Cajun Craze Stampin' Blend to colour the regular linen thread using a gentle brushstroke. It dries quite quickly, but to be sure, let it sit a good hour then tie your bow. A quick and simple one!

Splash & Relax Project Sampler

Sometimes you land on a suite of products that work beautifully together for cards and more. The Splash & Relax bundle was just that bundle. Pulling some seashells from a retired set, this is the happiest summer wall art project for an over the top "more" creation. With a finished size of 12" x 12" I have mine up on a wall in my office to enjoy through the summer months. It was super popular with the Elmira Community Living class where the 12 participants had a great time putting it all together. Enjoy!
