Watercolor Shapes Fun Fold cards - FB Live Replay video

On my weekly FB Live I shared many ideas for the Watercolor Shapes stamp set.  The cards below are just one of the three card versions I shared.  Scroll down to catch the video.  Or click here to see it. 

I offer frequent Creative Card Challenges for my Flowerbug's Team and this is the one we're currently working on: 

Here's a closer view one card. I love how the solid images stamp with multiple hues of color without any effort!  It may look like my ink pad wasn't inked enough but this is on purpose. These Distinctive stamps are wonderful and provide a lot of dimension effortlessly! 

Which do you prefer?  Pale Papaya or Fresh Freesia? 

There are so many possibilities with this set; I just scratched the surface! Click here to see it in my store. 

Below is the video where I share all three of my cards; click on it to watch!

Fun AND Easy layout you'll use for Quick Cards!

Here is the card design for Monday night's Stamp with Me Live.  It uses a 1 1/4" strip of designer paper and a few layers.  A quick & easy card! 

The above card features Crushed Curry with Black & White.  The embossing folder is the new Macrame 3D and the greeting is from Plentiful Plants. 

I chose to use the Pattern Party designer paper pack on page 171 of the Annual Catalog.  It's FREE & only available with host rewards!  It has 48 sheets of double sided 12 X 12" paper.  One side of each is black and white and the other is fun patterns.  See it here.

Dragonfly Garden Quick Fun-fold Card with video!

We made this pretty dragonfly card at last month's Card Clubs.  

I knew I wanted to use the new In Color shimmer vellum and thought the Dragonflies punch would work perfectly.  It sure did!  I wish you could see the shimmer in person; it's beautiful! 

They had a choice of Polished Pink or Fresh Freesia for their card and could punch a variety of colors for their dragonflies.  

We used the Dragonfly Garden stamp set which is bundled with the Dragonflies punch in the bundle seen here. See how the wings are curled?  The bone folder works beautifully for this.  *Watch the video below to see how it's done. 

Tip: I recommend using Stazon Black ink when stamping on the vellum so it dries quickly. Vellum paper doesn't 'absorb' ink easily so it can stay wet a long time. 

Below are the measurements for you and Download May Dragonfly Garden fun fold here

• Black base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
  Fresh Freesia or Polished Pink 3 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
  In Good Taste Designer paper 3" X 5 1/4"
  White strip 1" X 3"
  Shimmer Vellum scraps for Dragonfly punches
