Sea Turtle Card Tutorial

It’s another full week of video tutorials! And since spring is in the air and that means spring break for many of us and warmer weather, which of course makes me think of the pool or ocean time I hope to get. On one of our last family vacation we continued to hunt for sea turtles that were suppose to dot the beach. Turtles of all kinds have been a favorite of mine since I had that small palm tree in my pets plastic dish. Remember those? Or am I dating myself? Any how when I saw the Sea Turtle stamp set it made me think of those trips looking for sea turtles and the excitement of when we found them.

So today I’m going to share a card using the Sea Turtles stamp set (160500) with you and another sketch. This sketch happens to be a favorite of mine that I’ve used over and over again. Not only do I have a sketch to share with you but I also have a video and PDF tutorial for you too. So why not take a look?

Cute, right?

Today’s sketch is #8 of my sketches and if you’d like to make one too you so you have this handy tool to design with you can check out the PDF below.

Inked & Tiled Monochromatic One Sheet Wonder Cards

Today I’m going to share with you how to make 3 cards from one sheet of 6×6 Designer Series Paper – Or a what’s called a One Sheet Wonder. I love these kinds of projects that make cards so easy and monochromatic cards are great for building your stamping collection.

This is also a great way to make multiple cards quickly using the Designer Series Paper you love – and since they all coordinate it’s a great gift for someone too! Simply place them in a fun box or wrap them up in a bit of ribbon. Voila!

The Inked Botanicals Suite Collection (retiring 161172) is retiring soon so whether you get the stamps, paper, or the entire suite you’ll want to be sure to get these products before they are gone!

These cards are made with my One Sheet Wonder Template #3. Here is a quick video tutorial on how to cut the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper (161157) for the cards to get you started.

And of course, videos for each card with a PDF so you can make them too –

Latte Love Card Tutorial

A good morning always starts with a cup of coffee and so when I saw the Latte Love Suite (Online Exclusive 163466) I knew it was one that I would enjoy creating with.

The Suite is filled with wonderful coffee feeling colors and images. And the fun set of dies not only cut out stamped images but also images from the A Little Latte Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive 163453). And of course don’t forget if something in the suite is on backorder and it isn’t available right now, you can still get the other items and get the 10% discount on the Bundle.

Today’s card uses the same Sketch that I shared with you yesterday for the Cutest Cow Tutorial

and while it uses the same Sketch you can see just how different it looks.

This card uses the lovely A Little Latte Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive 163453) and pulls out the Calypso Coral and Lost Lagoon from the patterns. A change up in the Circle Punches adds another layer of color that highlights the sentiment.

Want to see how I created this card? I’ve got a video and PDF for you today.

Cutest Cow Card Tutorial PDF

My card today also uses a sketch. You might be wondering what a sketch is. If you haven’t seen sketches yet, they are a basic design or layout for a card and you’ll be seeing some in our NEW 2024 Annual Catalog on page 22 and throughout the catalog.

Today’s sketch is a quick and easy one that uses punches, but the basic layout is versatile enough that you could swap out the punch for a die, etc – the options are endless with sketches. The sketch is simply to inspire you!

I’ve been sharing these with my Team and thought you’d enjoy them too so I’ll be sharing my sketches with you periodically and will include a PDF with the measurements so that you can create your own sketch to use as a tool. This PDF will allow you to create the sketch, full size, using card stock as a reference tool. You can put in in a “recipe” box or punch a hole in the corner and put them on a ring so you can flip through them. Or if you prefer print the PDF for a note book. The choice is yours! So why not try my sketch out today?

OnStage Swaps – Heartfelt Hexagon

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.

Hello There Latte Love Card Tutorial

It’s another card tutorial and today’s card is one that I swapped at one stage using the A Little Latte Suite Collection (Online Exclusive 163466). After all is you love coffee you’ll want to be sure to check out this fun coffee themed suite of products.

This card uses strips of the A Little Latte Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive 163453) to create a back drop for the sentiment that has been punched out with the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set (162882).

The fun little Adhesive Backed Swirled Dots (163465) add a bit of color and texture to the sentiment panel. If you can’t see the little swirl on the dots I think you’ll find it lovely.

Want to see how I created this card? Here is a quick tutorial for you and a PDF
