Saying Goodbye to the Earthen Textures

Posted on by

The Earthen Textures Bundle (retiring 161514) is one of the items found in our retiring Earthen Elegance Suite and while the suite is sold out the components of the suite can be purchased separately and you’ll still save 10% on the bundle.

Here are some lovely cards made with this Bundle. You’ll love the stamp set has tons of built in texture and is great for masculine cards as well as all occasions with it’s wonderful sentiment choices.

This pack of Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper (retiring 161503) uses our 2023 In Colors which gives it a nice earthy feel too. This first card uses our Moody Mauve as a grid behind the sentiment.

And this next card uses a simple technique, the torn edge technique along with the Deckled Rectangle Dies (159173) to add even more texture to the card.

And this next card uses Copper Clay and Very Vanilla to create a wonderful Monochromatic card.

Texture has been added to the sentiment with the Scalloped Contour Dies (retiring 155560) and Adhesive Backed Solid Gems (Retiring 161300). This next card uses Wild Wheat, Copper Clay, and the Pebbled Path In Colors to create the focal point.

The Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (154317) adds a fun stucco look to the back ground and the Natural 1/4″ Wavy Trim (retiring 161517) adds a fun look. Last but not least this last card lets the Earthen Textures Dies (retiring 161513) and Designer Series Paper do the work for you.

The Pecan Pie works well as a back drop that has been dry embossed using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (156505) and layered on to the Pretty Peacock layer.

This bundle is lots of fun to work with as you can see and these products are while supplies last.

It’s time to be Saying goodbye to Sweet & Precious

Posted on by

Did you know that the Sweet & Precious Stamp set (retiring 161588) has fun animal images and sentiments that are great for creating projects for young and old?

Check out these cards that use this stamp set. This first card is done in Flirty Flamingo and Copper Clay.

The Double Oval Punch (Retiring 154242) has been used for the sentiment and Nested Essentials Dies (161597) were used to cut out the giraffe. Doesn’t this image make a great baby or parent child themed project?

Here is a fun fold using the same image done in our In Color Wild Wheat.

It folds down flat for mailing and pops up for display.

And if you love this stamp set you’ll love our Wild & Sweet Stamp set (retiring 158775) too. Check out this lovely koala bear done in our Pebbled Path, another of our 2032-2025 In Colors.

And finally a fun card that uses the spotlight technique.

This technique is a great way to highlight part of an image like this card does. The Forever Love Specialty Designer Series Paper (retiring 162573) was used for the background and the Pretty Peacock & Gold 3/8″ Metallic Ribbon (162588) adds a bit of shimmer to the project.

This card uses the Alphabest Stamp set (retiring 158884) stamp set and the coordinating Best Label Punch (retiring 158885) along with our Boho Blue 2023 In Color and it’s coordinating products.

More Perennial Lavender

Posted on by

Spring is in the air and the Perennial Lavender Suite (162613) makes spreading a bit of that feel easy! You’re going to love the colors and designs found in the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (162593).

Beautiful, right? And lots of texture built into this Designer Series Paper too with it’s hand painted look. I’ve got some fun cards to share with you today using this Suite. This first card, which was a team swap, uses a fun flower box fold to create a lovely pop up card.

It folds down flat for mailing but will stand on it’s own. The signature panel is on the inside of the card like a normal card base so you get the full effect when displaying.

Next I’ve got a card that uses the lovely Paper Butterfly Accents (162612). These paper butterflies are a lot of fun since you’ll get 5 different butterflies on each sheet.

You can add color to them and more. On this card they are used straight out of the package

and add a nice little detail to the card front. Texture has been added with the Painted Lavender Dies (162596) that use Designer Series Paper to add some “greenery” along with the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder (162935). Last but not least is this lovely sympathy card that uses a simple thumping technique to add multiple colors to the lilacs. How do you do the thumping technique? It’s a quick and simple technique. Simply ink up your image using the lightest shade and then add a darker shade either with a Blending Brush, Sponge Dauber, or Stampin’ Write Marker. This card also uses the fun Purple Fine Shimmer Gems (162611) and gold Adhesive Backed Dragonfly & Birds (Online Exclusive 162743)

Did you know that in flower language different color lilacs have different meanings? The purple lilac symbolizes spirituality while the white lilac represent purity and innocence.

I think you’ll enjoy the Perennial Lavender Suite (162613) that you’ll find in my Online Store.

    OnStage Swaps – Heartfelt Hexagon

    Posted on by

    today’s cards all use the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set (162882) and it’s coordinating punch the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch (162888).

    This first card uses our retiring 2022-2024 In Colors and simple stamping to create a lovely birthday card.

    And the bit of Linen Thread (104199) tied in a bow adds a nice little bit of texture. This next card uses the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper (Retiring 161640) to set the tone.

    The Starry Sky 1/8″ Metallic Woven Ribbon (Retiring 159198) and Tinsel Gems Three Pack (161624) add a bit of shimmer to the sentiment punched out with the Lasting Label Punch (Retiring 158651) for a little different look.

    These next three cards use the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder (162935) to create a subtle background for the sentiments. This first card is done in Sweet Sorbet and uses a strip of Gold Foil Sheets (132622).

    While this next card teams the gold foil up with Very Vanilla and the Gold & Vanilla 3/8″ Satin Edged Ribbon (Retiring 159555) for a very elegant look.

    And finally a monochromatic card done in Azure Afternoon and Starry Sky

    A bit of the 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack (Retiring 161635) adds a pot of texture and shimmer with it’s stitched edge.

    And on a fun note – I received my package from the Product Purchase Premiere from #OnStage Houston and am sharing my sneak peek video with you today.

    So what do you think? Love the new items too? It’s just a peek of what’s inside the 2024 Annual Catalog!
