Say thanks with the new Blue River Butterfly floating over a Butterfly Coterie Collage background.  Blue River's detailed design stands out against the background's simple outlines. Hi, Jean here with a mix of classic favorites and a beautiful new butterfly from our 2024 Fuchsia Collection for your summer projects.

Cut Blue River Butterfly from the lavender 6x6 in the Lagoon Solid Core Collection.  Cut the wing accents from the violet Glitzy Glitter Pad 6x6.  Cut the antennae/body from the gold Rainbow Reflections 6x6.

Spray a blue/purple ink-blended piece of cardstock with a light layer of Imagine's Frost Sheer Shimmer Spritz and set it aside to dry.  Cut white cardstock with Butterfly Coterie Collage - leave a generous border to diecut the globe.  Position the collage over the inked/spritzed background to find the right colors for the butterflies.  Cut the white cardstock and the inky background together using the 3-½" wide Nested Globes die.  Trim a bit from the edges of the inked background and attach it behind the collage.  Trim the bottom with a corner rounding punch.

Round the corners of a white top-folded A2 card.  Attach the diecuts - use foam tape for the edge of the Blue River Butterfly's wings.  Add a Thank You Foil Greeting White Tab (trim the ends a bit) and blue Christmas Fairy Dewdrops.  I like contrasting bold design elements like the butterfly with a small greeting.  Cut an A2-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Thanks for visiting - have a relaxing weekend, or a great trip if you're traveling!

Thank You Card
by Donna Sledzik

IMG_8579

Hello everyone!  Today's card is quick and easy which uses new products from the 2024 Fuchsia release.

I began by ink blending on a white cardstock panel, using Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks.  I spattered the panel with plain water and gold ink.

I used the shadow die from the "Thank You Breezy Script" die set, and die cut it in the middle of the inked panel.  Next, I die cut the Pinpoint Leaf Plate on a larger white cardstock panel, and used foam tape to adhere the inked background to it.

The words "Thank You" were die cut from gold metallic cardstock and glued to the card in the center of the shadow die cut.

IMG_8581

The butterfly was die cut from white cardstock and inked with Mustard Seed and Twisted Citron Distress inks.  The body was inked with a black marker.  I used foam tape to adhere it to the card.

I added some clear fairy drops to add a little shine to the card.

That's it for today!  I hope you have a great day!

Lavish Fuchsia Stems, Thank You Breezy Script and Brilliant Fuchsia 6x6 prints create a white + bright slimline.  A slimline card gives this bold design trio lots of space for layering.   Hi, Jean here with a mix of green and peach tones highlighting our latest release - the 2024 Fuchsia Collection.

Spritz the pale peach Blush Collection 6x6 with a light mist of water.  Pressure-emboss it with the floral portion of the Lavish Fuchsia Stem set using the rubber embossing mat and plates required for your machine.   Lightly ink the top petal layers and the bud with Electric Coral Radiant Neon.  Diecut it.  Cut the foliage and stamens from a bright green 6x6 in the Greenery Collection.  Assemble the blossoms and bud.

Cover the medium-green Greenery 6x6 with ScorTape.  Cut it with the Thank You Breezy Script Background.  Cut the bright green 6x6 with the detailed top layer of the greeting - leave the diecut in the die.  Remove the little pieces.   Press the detailed layer firmly onto the adhesive-covered background, then remove it from the die.  Cover the exposed adhesive with detail clear embossing powder. Heat-emboss it - it'll be secure and perfectly-centered, with a glossy background.

Cut the medium-green 6x6 with a portion of the 1-⅛" wide Slim Basic Rectangle Layers die.  Cut the green seedpod print from the Brilliant Fuchsia 6x6 with a portion of the 1-⅝" wide Slim Basic Rectangle Layers die.

Attach the diecuts to a white slimline card (3-⅝" x 8-½") - use foam tape for the bud and large leaves.  Add lime green Bright Jewels.  Cut a slimline-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Gladiola Slimline Thank You by Jean Okimoto

Need a special thank you card?  Express your appreciation with a shimmery, sparkly floral design from our latest collection.  Add blooming Gladiola Floral Duo diecuts to an extended Budding Gladiola Stem and layer them on a slimline card.  Hi, Jean here with a thank you card that grew taller and taller as it progressed - like gladiolas!

Add a light mist of Imagine's Gold Sheer Shimmer Spritz to the dark pink/coral Blush Collection 6x6.  The new solid-core 110# sheets and Gold Sheer Shimmer Spritz create vibrant customized metallic cardstock in a rainbow of colors.  Let it airdry for a few minutes, then heatset it.  

Cut the spritzed cardstock with with Gladiola Floral Duo and the stem portion of Budding Gladiola Stem.  The buds on the stem will be visible - and we'll cover the other sections with dark gray cardstock diecuts and a long, skinny strip.

Cut the remaining Budding Gladiola Stem pieces and the leaves from dark gray cardstock - leave the little pieces in the die so they'll be easy to identify and attach later.  Cut a narrow dark gray strip to create a longer stem - approximately ⅛" x 6-½".

Trim the pale peach Blush Collection 6x6 with the 1-⅜" wide Slim Basic Rectangle Layers die.  The die is longer than the 6x6 - but diecutting eliminates measuring and wonky rectangles which are really noticeable on slimline cards.   Attach the spritzed stem to the rectangle.  Attach the dark gray pieces - except the one at the top - to create buds.  Add the narrow gray strip so it creates a stem that extends about ½" below the rectangle.  Add the dark gray piece at the top.  Attach the leaves.

Cut two sets of the Gladiola Floral Duo stamens and remove one section from one of the pairs.  Assemble the Gladiola Floral Duo blossoms - I like to attach the petals to a small scrap of cardstock for easy assembly and arrangement.

Cut the Gladiola Plaid 6x6 with the same Slim Basic Rectangle Layers die.  Attach the diecuts to a cream slimline card (3-⅝" x 8-½") - use foam tape for the upper glossom.

Add a Thank You Foil Greetings Black Circle Tab.  It's a quick and easy way to complete a very detailed card!  These versatile heavyweight circle tabs are available in black/gold and white/gold - 36 tabs, 4 each of 9 typefaces.  

Thanks for visiting...have a wonderful weekend!

Garden Greetings…New Blossom and Butterflies by Jean Okimoto

Designs from the new Gladiola Collection are great for slimline cards.  Layer the tall, elegant blossoms over a matching Gladiola Plaid background - then add a pair of the new Exquisite Butterflies and a Thank You Foil Greetings Circle.  Hi, Jean here with another design from our latest release.

Spray a pale pink ink-blended scrap of cardstock with a spritz of Imagine's Gold Sheer Spritz and set it aside to dry.  Cut Gladiola Blossom and Leaves stamens from the dark gray Festive Glitter Pad 6x6.  Cut the leaves from dark gray cardstock.  Cut the blossom from the gold-spritzed cardstock.

A simple tip shared earlier...cut a matching circle of cardstock slightly smaller than the finished gladiola.  Use it as a base to adhere and assemble the blossom.  It adds dimension - and makes it easy to find the perfect spot and angle for the blossom.

Another simple tip...attach the stamen pieces behind the top-layered petal instead of on the background petals.  No guessing how much of it will be visible - and if any glue will ooze out! 

Cut the detailed Exquisite Butterflies from a gold Rainbow Reflections Pad 6x6.  We're just using these 2 here - save the others for another project.  

Cut the pink Gladiola Plaid with the 1-⅝" wide Slim Basic Rectangle Layers die.  The die is longer than the plaid - but it's easier to cut a straight plaid piece with the die - just place a short edge of the die against the top edge of the plaid.  Cut a dark pink Blush Collection 6x6 with the ⅞" wide Slim Basic Rectangle Layers die.

Easter & Thanks You Cards
by Angie Cimbalo

1

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with another Easter card and a bonus thank you card featuring products from the latest release.  For this first Easter card,  I used the Woven Basket of Eggs die set with the new Festive Bunny die set.

4

I cut everything from white cardstock except the eggs which I cut from the same scraps of patterned paper that I used for the red plaid and green on the bunny's jacket.  I inked all the pieces and colored them with Distress Inks. 

3

The Happy Easter is a new die called "Happy Easter Dover Script" and I cute 3 white ones and inked the top one with Fired Brick red ink.  To make the border around the card I masked off the edge and added more red ink, then added small white dots with a gel pen.  Here's one last look at my first card:

Now on to my 2nd card for today! 

Main

This card features the new Clara Blooms die set along with the Thank You Daily Script die set.  I used Distress Inks and colored pencils to color the die cuts on this one, then arranged them on the card front.  Easy and quick!  Here's a closer look:

I love how this turned out, clean and simple!  Here's one last look:

Clara Blooms Thank You Card
by Theary Chea

Hello, and welcome back to the blog. My name is Theary, and I am sharing a stunning thank you card with some of the fantastic products from the spring release. So, let's get started. 

IMG_9189 (2)

I trimmed the SH44003 Kraft Woodgrain Paper Pack to 4 inches by 5.25 inches. I added some interest using a blending brush and brown ink to the left side of the cardstock. I matted the cardstock onto a sheet of pattern paper from PP1021 Magnolia Plaid Paper Pack that I trimmed to fit an A2-sized card base. 

IMG_9191 (1)

Using 94724 Sitting Sparrow and 94688 Clara Blooms, I cut that out of white-colored cardstock using my die-cutting machine. I later used alcohol markers to color each die-cut piece. I adhered it to the card panel using a combination of liquid adhesive and foam squares. 

I die-cutted 94655 Thank You Daily Script out of SH44004 Glossy Black Cardstock. And adhered to the card panel using liquid adhesive. 

IMG_9189 (2)

I  added a few embellishments from CRY101 Autumn Fairy Crystals to add some texture. To finalize the card design, I adhered it to a top folding card base and added details with a white gel pen. 

And that is it! I hope you enjoy this tutorial and get crafty in your craft space. Until next time! 

Have a wonderful day,

Theary Chea

Thanks You and Sympathy Floral Cards
by Angie Cimbalo

 

Vellum thanks main

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today!   I have a card design for you today, that I made for two different purposes. One is a "thank you" card and the other is a "sympathy" card and I used the same technique to create each of these.

The main image was created by dry embossing the large flower from the Cheerful Floral 3D embossing folder (EF1025) on a piece of white card stock and a piece of vellum. Once embossed, I added Distress Inks in Fired Brick and Seedless Preserves on both the debossed side of images - ink pad direct to paper, then used the coordinating die that comes in the Cheerful Floral Clear stamp and die set (CL5278 and CLD5278) I cut both of them out. I did not use the stamp, just the large floral die from the set.

Next I layered the inked vellum piece on top of the inked white panel and adhered them together using a tape runner putting tape only on the darker areas of ink so you can see it. Here's a closer look at the image:

Vellum thanks close

I added that piece to a card base that was 5.5" tall and 3.25" wide. Next I took a piece of A2 card stock (4.25" by 5.5") and added 1/2 inch strips of patterned paper from the Magnolia Grove PP1022 paper pad. Then I added back the the top folding card to the A2 panel right in the middle between the strips of paper. So now when you open the card the patterned paper stays on the inside of the card and only the white part opens up. The sentiment is a new white Circle Tab from the Thank You packed of gold foiled tab sentiment. Lastly I added jewels to the flower centers.

Here's one last look at my card:

Vellum thanks 1

The next card was made exactly the same except I used the stamp and die set CL5270 called Elegant Succulents and heat embossed it in white on black card stock. That is the only difference in the cards.

Vellum sympathy main

Here's a close up view:

Vellum sympathy close

And here's one final view:

I hope you like my cards for today, I had so much fun creating with the new release!

Cheerful Floral
by Theary Chea

Hello, and welcome back to the blog. My name is Theary, and I am sharing a card I created using the beautiful Cheerful Floral stamp and stencil set. So, Let's get started! 

MB Cheerful Floral 2

I started by stamping CL5278 Cheerful Floral onto white-colored cardstock that I trimmed to 4 inches by 5.25 inches. I stamped the image using black premium ink. Then, using 88619 Cheerful Floral stencil. I aligned each layer onto the cardstock and blended each layer with a different dye ink color. You can use any color to ink in the stencil. I chose inks in the colors fuchsia, green, and yellow. 
MB Cheerful Floral 2

Then, using the last stencil, I used a low tack tape to tape the stencil down onto the colored image. I later went in with a blue shade of ink to ink around the edges of the stencil to create a shadow effect. I also added white highlights throughout the card panel with a white gel pen.
MB Cheerful Floral 2

I matted the card front onto a black piece of cardstock trimmed slightly larger than the card panel. I adhered it to a top folding white card base. I used a strip from ST005 Thank You Foil Greeting Black Tabs for the sentiment. I also added gems from GEM102 Winter Fantasy. 

And that's it! I hope you found some inspiration and have time to get crafty. Until next time! I hope you have a wonderful day!
