Blending Brush Trees

I have one last card....for now....with the Beauty of Friendship Bundle.  I've shared four cards before this and it's my focus of my May Card Crate.  You can check out details on Card Crate here.  Don't miss this month it's amazing and features four other cards using this bundle.  Check out the other cards I've shared on my blog with this bundle on this post, this one too and don't forget this one! This tree might be my favorite.  I love all the light and dark textures on this tree.  

To get all this texture I used my Blending Brushes and blended together Soft Succulent, Just Jade and Shaded Spruce ink, then die cut it.  I made sure to leave some areas light and others nice and dark.  I love the natural blended look to it.  I did the same to the tree trunk, I blended Soft Suede onto Crumb Cake then die cut it.  Adding those little touches of color really make a difference.  I have a full supply list below, you can shop these products in my Online Store.

Flowers Of Friendship Coffee Box-VIDEO

Yesterday I went live on Facebook to kick off the catalog!  I love catalog kick off days!  There's always so much going on and there's so much excitement about new stuff!  It's an energizing day!  But on days where there isn't a catalog launch and we need some extra energy sometimes caffeine is the way to go.  I have a fun treat box today to share that will give anyone the energy they need, plus it's packaged super cute which always helps too right?!  This box holds a K Cup of coffee, of course you can substitute it for hot cocoa, chai, apple cider, I think nearly any hot drink now comes in a K Cup.  

I'm using lots of new products on this box.  The bundle is the Flowers of Friendship Bundle.  It's a stamp and punch bundle and I know we all love punches.  This one is an incredible punch-trust me!  The greeting is from a new set Inspired Thoughts-a great set!!  The DSP is the new Pattern Party DSP.  I love this DSP!!  It's for sure one of my favorites!!  

The box is super easy to make.  There is a little fancy trimming to it but check out the video, but it's not complicated at all.  

You'll need a piece of cardstock that is 8 1/2" x 3 1/2"

On the long side score at 2", 4", 6" and 8"

On the short side score at 1 1/2" mark the front panel of the box at 2 1/2"

The DSP is 3/4" x 8 1/2" and 1 7/8" x 1 7/8"

Check the video for all the details.

Angle Side Cake Box-VIDE0

Today's box is so fun, and pretty simple.  Your friends will be so impressed!  I'm using some more sneak peek products for this box. I had to pull in my Color and Contour Bundle.  This is the bundle with the AMAZING scalloped rectangle dies.  Seriously PUT THESE ON YOUR WISHLIST!!!  I'm pairing up the bundle with some beautiful new DSP, this is the Hand Penned DSP Pack.  If you love this DSP, you might want to join my Annual Catalog DSP Paper Share and get a little of all the packs in the new catalog.  You can check out my paper share details here.  

This box is so bright and fun and just gorgeous!  I love that stamped flower and all the sparkle and shine from the Elegant Dots and Artistry Blooms Sequins.  The ribbon is the Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon, it's in our current annual catalog but it will carry into the next one!  Yay!!! 

I love this angled box.  The lid is cut to an angle and it gives that two toned look.  The bottom of my box is Misty Moonlight Cardstock. The top is Daffodil Delight.  I love the sharp contrast between them.  You could easily change up the colors.  Such a gorgeous box!  Inside my box is a super cute lemon bundt cake.  I found these at my local grocery, they're the lemon flavor, they also had a cinnamon flavor.  Both would be super cute in this box.  

To make the box you'll need two pieces of cardstock in two different colors. Again I'm using Daffodil Delight and Misty Moonlight.  Both pieces are the same size and scored the same.  Make sure you check out the video for how to trim and assemble the box.  

6 3/4" x 6 1/4" 

On the long side score at 1 3/4" and 5" 

On the short side score at 1 3/4" and 4 1/2"

The DSP is 2" x 10"

The Daffodil Delight embossed piece on the top is 2 1/2" x 3"

Some of these items are not available for purchase right now, however when you join my team right now you can add these items to your starter kit!  Choose $125 in product for only $99!  Contact me for more details.  I have a supply list below.  All products are listed, products you can buy now are linked.  All other products will be available on May 4, 2021.

Sneak Peek!-Beauty Of The Earth

Thanks for checking in today!  I have an amazing card that once again features the gorgeous Beauty Of Friendship Bundle.  This one spot lights the dies and that amazing tree!!!  I love the layering dies in the bundle.  There's a solid piece for the tree leaves, then the detailed leaf piece and the tree itself.  This will be a complete year round bundle!  I can already see winter cards with the tree alone!!!  Look at that amazing DSP!  This card came together so quickly with the die cutting and the amazing DSP.  There was little for me to do!  

The only stamping is the greeting and shadow under the tree, the die that cut out that greeting is also included in the dies with the bundle.  I added a cloudy sky with the new Basic Borders dies and inked some Balmy Blue color onto it with my Blending Brushes.  I love the layers of the clouds.  I finished the card simply with some Linen Thread, my favorite!!!  

I have a full supply list below.  Some of these items are not available for purchase right now, however when you join my team right now you can add these items to your starter kit!  Choose $125 in product for only $99!  Contact me for more details or JOIN MY TEAM today  I have a supply list below.  All products are listed, products you can buy now are linked.  All other products will be available on May 4, 2021.

Sneak Peek-Trees Two Ways

Today I have not one but two amazing cards to share!  Both use similar products but give a completely different look.  The bundle is the Beauty of Friendship Bundle and it's pretty amazing!  The images are earthy and fun and the dies are going to blow you away.  For these two cards I focused on these simple stamped trees but watch for more cards coming soon that showcase the dies.  For my first card I stamped a variety of spring trees and added them to a cardstock hill.  The cloudy sky is thanks to a new borders die, from the new Basic Borders die set, that I cut and then used for a stencil with my blending brush.  It's so beautiful!!!

Both cards I stamped the greeting on vellum and added some linen thread.  I love the natural look of linen thread with these trees.  For my second card I used the same trees but this time die cut.  I added a different border to the Mint Macaron Cardstock with the Basic Borders Die.  I finished this one with new DSP and some gold pearls.  I love them both!  I have more to share with this set so watch for that coming soon!!  

I have a full supply list below.  Some of these items are not available for purchase right now, however when you join my team right now you can add these items to your starter kit!  Choose $125 in product for only $99!  Contact me for more details or JOIN MY TEAM today  I have a supply list below.  All products are listed, products you can buy now are linked.  All other products will be available on May 4, 2021.

Puffin Goldfish Holder-VIDEO

If you liked this box that I shared yesterday, you're going to love today's project too!  I'm using the Party Puffins set again.  It's soooo stinkin' cute!!  The set has those super cute gift wrapped fish, I immediately though Goldfish Crackers! That's what I did!  This box is more of a wrap then a box.  But still super cute, super simple and perfect for party favors, class gifts, coworker gifts, gifts for mail carriers, bank tellers, etc.  Really who doesn't love Goldfish Crackers!?

The wrap is super simple, use a half sheet of cardstock 4 1/4" x 11", on the long side score at 3" and 7 1/2".  Adhere together in the back then embellish the front.  That's it!!  To create the front, I stamped that fish, tone on tone in our new Pale Papaya Ink on the Pale Papaya Cardstock.  The puffin and his fishy gifts were colored and fussy cut.  I used 3 die sets to layer up on the wrap.  I used Layering Circles for the circle, the Stitched Rectangle for the DSP from the new Pattern Party DSP, THIS is my favorite pattern!  Finally a new die set, Tailored Tags for the Pumpkin Pie tag.  This tag die set is pretty amazing, you'll see me use it a TON!!!  I finished the tag with some new Pale Papaya Ribbon. For all the details on this project check out my video below.

Party Puffins Donut Box-VIDEO

Do I have a cute project to share with you today or what?  First it's a box that holds donuts, so YUM!  Next it uses a new set that I am just IN LOVE WITH!!!  This set I didn't even get on my first preorder.  Yes...I'm not afraid to admit that I place multiple preorders as a demonstrator.  What usually happens is I make the mistake of *thinking* I can live without a certain set and then I see a sample with it and realize my horrible mistake and run to order it.  As was the case with the Party Puffins Set.  

I had these yummy donut holes that I knew needed a cute box so I decided why not do that with the puffins.  I completely love this box!  I used some new ribbon, and lots of Stampin' Blends to color my images.  There are no coordinating dies for this guy so you do have to do a little fussy cutting.  

Make sure you check out the video for all the details on this box.  To make it you'll need a piece of cardstock that is 8 1/2" x 10 1/2".  It's a big box with a big treat!  

On the short side score at 2 1/2", 4", 6 1/2" and 8"

On the long side score at 1 1/2", 8 1/2" and 10"
