Bubble Bath Roses

My sister has been visiting this past week, and she told me she had to attend a wedding in May. After perusing my craft room, she asked if I could make her a card. Of course!

She told me the theme of the wedding party is "romance", and when she saw the gorgeous card I had made using the new Layers of Beauty masks, she wanted one of those.

Of course I can't just copy a card I had already made! I don't work like that...so I had to create a new one for her.

Don't these roses look "romantic"? Colors used were Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia and Petunia Pop, along with Old Olive and Mossy Meadow for the leaves.

I cut down my main panel so I could add it to a Bubble Bath frame made with the Scalloped Contours dies. This was then popped up over an embossed Petunia Pop layer (embossed with the Exposed Brick folder), and onto a Thick white card base.

And for the inside:

A very simple sentiment with a Petunia Pop layer.

And did you note the envelope flap? Stamped with a small flower from the Layers of Beauty stamps and colored with Blends.

Layers of Beauty - coming May 1st!

Mediterranean Blooms Meets Sweet Citrus

Now that my Cards-by-Mail have been received by my customers, I thought I would show you the cards they are making.

The first one features the beautiful Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper, which will be available for purchase on May 1st.

The Daffodil Delight layer is embosses with the soon-to-be-retired Sweet Citrus hybrid embossing folder, one of my favorites!

Another retiring product: the Garden Green frame was cut with the Scalloped Contours dies, and then the DSP was layered onto it.

It was fun to bring in the little lemon, one of the dies in the Simply Sparkling set. It tied into the paper so well!

The retiring products sale is in full swing, with many items already gone. If you have been waiting to place an order, you may not want to wait any longer!

Last Layers of Beauty (for Awhile)

For my final day of showcasing the Layers of Beauty, a beautiful bundle of stamps, dies and masks that will be available when the 2024-25 Annual Catalog goes live on May 1st, I decided to go 3D.

Not only do I love the Layers of Beauty bundle, but I also LOVE the Country Woods Designer Series Paper! 12 double-sided sheets of wood-look paper makes me swoon! So I pulled one out and began to craft.

My box is 3-1/2" x 3-1/2". The bottom is Early Espresso cardstock, and the top is the Country Woods DSP.

I wrapped it in Petunia Pop Bordered ribbon and then decorated the top.

I once again pulled out the masks from the Layers of Beauty bundle and used them to create this lovely rose. The colors are Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia and Petunia Pop. The leaves were blended with Old Olive and Mossy Meadow. And I cut a mini-label using the dies, along with a few extra leaves.

Who wouldn't like to receive a small gift or treat on a box like this?

Layers of Beauty will be available on May 1st. Consider picking up the bundle - you'll have so much fun with all the parts and pieces!

Fourth Day of Layers of Beauty

Now if you've been following my blog posts this week, you'll have seen the Layers of Beauty bundle on 3 previous cards. They all used the largest image of the set, along with some die cutting and even a little masking.

Today is different! Using only the masks with inks and Blending Brushes, I created this:

L.O.V.E.!

Such realistic flowers! I feel like an artist...but all I did was carefully line up the masks (5 of them in all) and use Blending Brushes with inks to create this beautiful panel!

Look at the detail and the depth of color! Gorgeous!

I started with Lemon Lolly and the #1 mask, which colors the light part of the flowers. Then, with Mask #2, I added some Daffodil Delight ink. And for the smallest, darkest details, I used Crushed Curry.

The leaves were done in Granny Apple Green with Garden Green details.

I mounted the main panel on Garden Green cardstock, then onto a Thick Basic White base with triangles of Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight to pull out the colors.
