Playful Patterns cards kit to go; time limited!

The August cards kit to go features the fun & unique Playful Patterns designer paper.  It's perfect for so many happy occasions. 

I created 10 cards for this cards kit to go in the beautiful array of colors in the designer paper. 

Aren't they neat?!  This paper totally inspired me to create fun, playful cards.  I only used a few inks too!  Night of Navy, Coastal Cabana, and Crushed Curry! 

This kit to go includes $20 in product and the 10 cards pre-cut also.  Here's what's included:

• 1/2 package of the 6" Playful Patterns designer paper
• 1 full package of the Playful Patterns ribbon combo pack
• 1/2 pkg. of the Playful Patterns Resin Dots
• the 10 pre-cut cards including punched & die-cut pieces
• the pdf written tutorial sent in an email

I used the Many Mates stamp set to finish the cards.  If you'd like to add it on you can get it at 10% off with the kit. 

This pre-cut kits are available through August 20th.  But there is an option to get the Playful Patterns cards pdf tutorial without the kit too. 

• $28 for the full kit to go; order here.
• $60 for the full kit and the Many Mates stamp set here

I actually have two kits available in August.  If you want both this kit to go AND the Life is Beautiful kit seen here send me a note and I can combine shipping and save you some money!  Send to lagreff@gmail.com for a combined shipping price.

One more Forever Fern card with video; in my favorite colors!

As I've said before I cannot get enough of this stamp set.  And when it's in some of my favorite colors too, well it hits all the high points in my stamping world.  

We made these pretty cards at my June card clubs.  Simple stamping at it's best!!

The colors here are Gorgeous Grape, which is gorgeous!, Old Olive and Bermuda Bay.  The pretty die is from the Tasteful Labels set of dies seen here. 

This stamp set really makes you feel like an artist.  These Distinktive stamps are absolutely amazing!  I cannot say enough about how much I love them.  Even when you stamp over the images it doesn't matter as they appear somewhat translucent.  

Watch this quick video to get the details and catch some great tips.

2 cute cards with the Pampered Pets bundle

I featured the Playful Pets bundle when I made these two cards at Tuesday's Facebook Live this week.  This suite is absolutely adorable!  

Here's a close up of the first card.  The texture of the new Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder is so neat.  It's subtle but still quite noticeable with a unique texture. 

This card shows just a peak of the cute Playful Pets designer series paper between the textured layers. 

See the paw prints on the bottom right?  That is a die in the Pets dies.  I placed a scrap of Black CS behind it to show it off.  You can see the entire Playful Pets suite here. 

The dog is cut from the Playful Pets DSP; the Pet dies match some of the images in the paper!   I added a bit of the Playful Pets trim for a collar and a bone from the Pet Trinkets.  Below are the measurements for this card:

• Real Red 5 ½” X 8 ½”, 1” X 5 ½”, 2 ¼” X 5 ½” textured pieces
• 1 ¼” X 5 ½” Designer Series Paper

Other products used: Tasteful Textile folder, Stitched Shapes and Layering Circles dies

Below are both cards I made in the FB Live video.  Click here to see it.

The second card is a unique fold where the Black piece is the full back of the card and the Real Red is scored for the card opening. It's a fun and unique card that works well with our Designer paper.  Whether you use 6 X 6" or 12 X 12" paper it all works without much waste when cutting.

Measurements:

• Black 5 ½” X 4 1/4”
• Real Red 3 ¼” X 11” scored at 5 ½”,
• Designer Series Paper 5 ½” X 3”
• Soft Suede 1" X 4 1/4"
• White strip is 3/4" X 3 1/2" 

If you like these cards you may want to get my Card Kit to Go that features the entire Playful Pets suite of products along with 10 pre-cut cards!  Be sure to order it by Saturday! See it here.

Easy 8 Card Wonder template with Forever Fern in a kit to go!

I'm super excited about my newest One Sheet Wonder; I'm calling it the Easy 8 Card Wonder.  I've been doing a bunch of quick card layouts on my Monday night FB live's and have loved the comments on how simple and easy the cards have been.  People are actually making cards and building their stash AND sending them out too!  I LOVE hearing this!  

So I wanted to create a simple card plan using our beautiful stamped images as the main focus of the cards.  

The 8 Card Wonder features a template you print on neutral card stock and stamp on the other side.  Then just cut on the printed lines and assemble your cards like shown.  Here's the stamped 8 1/2" X 11" White card stock before I turned it over and cut on the printed lines. 

The Forever Fern distinktive images in this stamp set are absolutely stunning!

You can see part of the template under the cards here:

For these cards I used Bermuda Bay, Gorgeous Grape, Old Olive and Pretty Peacock ink and card stock. 

The pdf tutorial is now available here.

Forever Fern card with video; quick & gorgeous!

Forever Fern is my absolute favorite stamp set in the new annual catalog so far.  The images are beautifully detailed and Distinktive!  That means that with one inking you get multiple hues of color on your stamped image.  Look at the detail and natural shading! See it here.

I chose to use Pretty Peacock, Gorgeous Grape and Old Olive here.  That pretty die-cut is from the Tasteful Labels dies seen here.  

If you want this stamp set you might wait to order it along with my newest 8 card wonder; it's included in the kit to go!  Click here to order.  Quantities are limited! More Details will be posted tomorrow! 

I hope you watch my quick video below to learn the tips to make a card like this.
