Soft and lovely Fancy Floral

Posted on by

As I mentioned yesterday I have another tutorial to share with you that we made during my Team OnStage After Party. Being November was a rather crazy month with a second surgery this too got buried on my desk. It’s hard to say what other gems I’ll find as I work through things. 🙂

So today’s card uses the Fancy Flora Suite Collection – this collection is filled with wonderful products and if you like shimmer paper you’ll love the Fine Shimmer Paper Pack (160428) for your projects.

This Thank You card used all the products from the Suite and is a versatile layout as you can swap out the different Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper (160413) easily. Here is a quick video tutorial for you along with my PDF.

Send a Warm Welcome to someone you love

Posted on by

Today’s card tutorial is one that I did for my OnStage After Party, which is a team event and forgot to share it with you earlier, but it got buried on my desk while I recouped from my Surgery. The idea comes straight from the pages of our Mini Catalog. Do you ever use the catalog projects to stamp? I love the ideas contained in their pages to inspire me or case. Anyways, so today I’ve got this fun card for you that spreads a little hello to someone you love.

I really like the quick and easy technique created with our Stampin’ Blends on the heart. I’ve also added a bit of texture behind the vellum with the Dots & Spots Die for a tone on tone background.

Check out my video tutorial and PDF with a complete supply list so you can make your own Warm Welcome card.

A quick & easy friendship card using Adorable Owls

Posted on by

Today’s card has been made with the Adorable Owls (Sale-a-bration 160269) and has been done in our In Colors.

And since our In Colors come in fun to use assortments you can create quickly and easily. This little guy has been colored with our Stampin’ Blends and is so much fun to color. It’s amazing how quickly you can change the feel of this little guy simply by changing up his eye color. I was going to a more masculine feel to this card so I stuck with the greens this go around.

Want to see how I made this card? Why not check out my video tutorial?

Then print out the PDF with measurements and a complete supply list to get started. If you don’t already have the Adorable Owls stamp set why not earn yours today? Simply place a qualifying order of $50 in product and this little guy can be yours too.
