Garden Wishes

Spring is in the air, the sun is out, are the buds are beginning to pop. As I drove into town earlier this week it was hard to miss all the Bradford Pears dotting the landscape and the sunny little daffodils too. So that got me thinking about the Dandy Garden Suite of products form the Mini Catalog. I just love this grouping of products and it makes me think of things to come.

And this set has got some wondering sentiments in it too. Check out these lovely cards using the Garden Wishes Bundle (156220). This first card is done in Blackberry Bliss and uses one of the images from the Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper (154297) that can be cut out with the coordinating Dandy Wishes Dies (154315)

Rich and full of texture the card uses the Stitched Nested Labels Dies (149638) along with the Subtles Texture 3D Embossing Folder (151775).

And this next card combines the warm Bumblebee and Mossy Meadow color palet.

The sentiment has been stamped and then punched out with the Classic Label Punch (141491).

And this last card uses a fun fold to create this screen card that stands up.

The card is monochromatic and uses the lovely In Color, Misty Moonlight. And check out the cute little Ladybug Trinket (154299).

So what do you think? Does this bundle make you think of the warm weather right around the corner like it does for me? Why not leave me a comment and let me know which is your favorite card?

Spot lighting Sale-a-bration’s Corner Bouquet

Todays cards all use the Corner Bouquet stamp set that you can earn during Sale-a-bration with a qualifying order. This stamp set is great since you can team up these lovely images with your favorite sentiment sets.

Check out these lovely cards made using this stamp set. This first card is done a fun blending technique using our NEW Blending Brushes (153611) and the Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 155225).

I love the rich colors on this card and the Artistry Blooms Sequins add a pop of shimmer.

This next card uses a simple ink pad technique that gives your projects a 2 tone effect.

Simply ink up the image using the lighter color, here Mint Macaron was used as normal. Then use the second ink pad to tap the areas you want to highlight. Cool right? The lovely Very Vanilla Gold Metallic Edged Ribbon (144146) and Metallic Pears (146282) add a beautiful elegance to this sympathy card. Do you recognize the sentiment? Its from another stamp set you can earn, the Heal Your Heart stamp set (Sale-a-bration 155291).

And this next card is done in Just Jade and uses 3 of our Sale-a-bration products, can you name them?

The sentiment is from the Approaching Perfection stamp set (Sale-a-bration155282) and the polka dots are from the Flower and Field Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 155223).

And how about this next card done in Bumblebee and Garden Green? I love the way the image is used to create a fun background panel.

This next card teams up the Corner Bouquet with the Positive Thoughts stamp set (151490) and is done in Rich Razzleberry and Smoky Slate.

And last but not least this rich card done in jewel tones uses the Dandy Garden Designer Series paper (154297) along with the Dragonflies Punch (154240) and Classic Labels Punch (141491)

So what do you think? Have a favorite? I know I can’t pick just one.

Mix it Up with Dragonfly Garden

Today I’ll be sharing the first card tutorial in a series of tutorials. It’s a series of tutorials that I’m calling – Mix It Up. All the cards in this Series use the same pieces in different ways. So you can cut once and create multiple cards. I had hoped to share this concept that was introduced to us at OnStage@Home last year, but after I filmed and downloaded things they got lost in my computer. I didn’t realize it until I was cleaning up things in my classroom. Sigh. But the good news is I’m sharing them with you now.

So here is the first card in Series #1 – there will be 3 different tutorials in each Series

This series of cards is done in Misty Moonlight and Bumblebee Classic Ink – a classic color combo.

I’ve got a video and PDF for each of the cards in the series –

And if your wondering you can get a bunch of dragonflies out of this stack of Designer Series Paper – here is a quick look at how I cut it to get the most out of the sheet when using the punch.

Enjoy and then stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing the second of 3 cards with you.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Dragonfly Garden (*154411)
