Crafting Up the Coast

This card was created with the set “Etched in Nature”, pg 101 AC.  I used watercolor paper and the inks I used were Misty Moonlight, Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron, Cinnamon Cider and Soft Suede.  The DSP is so beautiful, It’s from Hand-Penned, pg 131 AC.  Base Card and layers are Misty Moonlight CS.  You can find this here.

Bundle Focus Program

Everyone should have received the new annual catalog (May 2021-April 2022) by now.  Here is one of the sets from this awesome catalog.  It is “Hand-Penned Petals” and is from the Suite, Hand Penned, pgs 104-105.  You will want to buy the entire suite because there is so much you can do with it.  In addition, you can get the entire suite for 10% off.  Or you can buy just the bundle of stamps & dies, also with a 10% discount.  Hope you like this and you can find it here. 

On this card, I used the Hand-Penned Memories & More Cards & Envelopes, pg 127, to design this sample.  It is a little larger than our normal A2 size and that is why I like it.  I used the matching dies to cut out the image on the front of the card and I also used the NEW Scalloped Contour dies, pg 158 to cut out the DSP and the basic white CS.  Colors I used were Cinnamon Cider, Garden Green and Mint Medley.

And as I promised yesterday, the remainder of cards I recently made with the Flowering Cactus Stamp set and Matching Dies found on pgs 8-9 of the MC. Card Stock Colors I used on these samples were Basic White & Mossy Meadow & Highland Heather & Pear Pizzazz CS.

Most of the time I sell all my retiring stamp sets and dies.  However, this one is a keeper.  So if you are interested in owning this versatile set, go here to order, because you only have through June and then it is gone!

Today and Tomorrow, I will be featuring the Cactus Medley found on pg 8-9 of the MC.  I love this set and have to admit, it is my favorite in the entire Mini Catalog.  Unfortunately for me, it is retiring at the end of June and NOT being carried over to the new catalog.

If you are interested in purchasing this, you must do it before it retires.  I recommend it for versatility and beauty.  I purchased both the Product Medley 154559 and the Refill Kit 155400.  What you see in these samples, are cards I made from the refill kit.  Of course, I did use the Stamp Set and Dies from the medley, but I just wanted to give you an idea of how many cards AND decorated envelopes you can design with just the Refill Kit supplies.  They are identical from the Medley except for the stamp & Dies.

I also have a ton of supplies left from the refill kit where I can make at lease a dozen more cards.  You have to supply your own card stock but you have several colors to choose from.  I tried to use each for my samples.  CS colors in this group are Whisper White, Mossy Meadow, Mint Macaron, and Highland Heather.  There are a Ton of die-cut felt pieces that you can use and plenty of that gorgeous linen thread.  Although, I guess what I loved the most is the pack of DSP, some of which can be cut out with the matching dies.
