Nature's Prints Wreath cards

In today's YouTube live, I demonstrated 2 cards using the Nature's Prints stamp set and coordinating dies

The first card was a simple layout and instruction, the 2nd with a few more details added.

I really love the tonal effect from pairing up Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Pool Party together.

Sending Smiles Gift Tag

Sending Smiles Gift Tag - detail view

Sending Smiles Gift Tag - back view

I've had a love affair with paper and ribbon my entire life. Wrapping packages is just as important to me as what is inside. A friend and I have been putting together some gift baskets and we are down to the finishing touches! I had so much fun making this tag! AND GUESS WHAT?!?!?!?! The entire tag is made out of scraps from my scrap bin. I didn't cut into one piece of paper to create this tag.

I really love how this tag turned out. Not only because it is personalized to the situation, but because it feels good in my hand. It is definitely going to top off the baskets perfectly.

Cutting instructions:

Scrap of Basic White to die cut largest size of the Tailor Made Tags dies.
Scrap of Daffodil Delight to die cut largest size of the Tailor Made Tags dies.
Scrap of Basic White to stamp and die cut sentiment + die cut 1 extra sentiment outline, 3 flowers, 3 leaves.
16" of Gingham Ribbon
16" x 2 of Linen Thread

Assembly instructions:

Adhere the 2 die cut Tailor Made Tags to eachother.
Stamp and die cut "Sending" in Poppy Parade. + Die cut one extra outline. Adhere the 2 together. Adhere to front of tag using dimensionals
Stamp additional sentiment in Tuxedo Black ink. Die cut. Adhere below "Sending".
Stamp 3 flowers in Daffodil Delight ink. Die cut. Arrange in lower right corner. 1 will be adhered flat with glue. 1 will be adhered with 1 dimensional. Last will be adhered with 2 stacked dimensionals.
Stamp 3 leaves in Garden Green ink. Die cut. Arrange in flowers
Loop Gingham ribbon through hole. Tie double bow with Linen Thread at base of ribbon.
Add glossy dots to flower centers

If you enjoy gift tags, I hope I've inspired to you to make some of your own.

He's All That Birthday Card

He's All That - Birthday Card

He's All That - Birthday card - detail view

He's All That Birthday Card - inner view

Sometimes, you just need a really quick card.....and I do mean, super quick!

Today was one of those days for me. I had seen other cards where the Rays of Light stamp had been used to create a dynamic focal point that I liked...... so I decided to use that concept but tone on tone instead of contrast. And I must say that I really love how it turned out! I'm truly pleased with the whole card.

Cutting instructions:

Card base- Early Espresso: 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2". This is a side fold card
Front and inner matte layers - Pecan Pie: 3 3/4" x 5"
Scrap of Early Espresso to die cut matte layer for focal point (use 2nd largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies)
Scrap of Basic White to die cut focal point (use 3rd largest circle from Stylish Shapes Dies)
Inner message liner - Basic White: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"

Assembly Instructions:

Stamp both matte layers with Ray's of Light stamp using Pecan Pie ink on Pecan Pie cardstock.
Adhere front matte layer to front card base.
Stamp focal point image using Early Espresso ink on Basic White cardstock. Die cut circle. Adhere to matte layer circle. Adhere to matte layer using dimensionals
Scatter adhesive dots
Adhere message liner to inner matte layer. Adhere to inner card base.

See??!! Could that have been much easier?

I hope you like this card and will give it a try.
