Say Thank You with Spotlight on Nature & More

Loving the Spotlight on Nature Stamp set (163579)? This set is filled with lovely images

and wonderful all occasion sentiments and I knew I’d enjoy creating with it as soon as I saw it and stamped with it at our OnStage After Hours event in Houston.

Today I’m sharing the 3rd card we did for our Make n Takes during that event.

This event was a lot of fun and was our first chance to play with the new 2024 In Colors. This card uses a fun way to add texture to your project, water color!

Can you see it? Beneath the stamped panel there is a layer that has been given a simple wash of Pecan Pie. So simple but makes a big impact. Check out my video and pdf tutorial and try it yourself!

As always I’ve included a full supply list, measurements, and step by step instructions. The PDF even has the video link so everything is handy and in one place for you when you’re ready to create.

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.

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.

Today’s card uses one of our fun bundles from the Mini Catalog, the Cutest Cows Bundle (162897).

This card is fun and cheerful with it’s cheerful polka dot pattern from the Neutrals Collection Designer Series Paper (retiring 161641).

Here is a quick video tutorial for you and PDF with the supply list so you can make one too.

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?

Enjoy. And then stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing another card tutorial with you!
