Layers of Beauty gets some ink!

Well, I am embarrased to say I finally got some ink on the Layers of Beauty set and coordinating masks.  I've had this set since April I feel!  Too long to see such great samples with it and not haul it out until now!  I made these two cards in my weekly live tonight.  You can see it on Facebook, or on YouTube.

OK....sorry, the Layers of Beauty is in the current annual catalog.  I am confusing it with another one.  My video I mention it was carried over.

Fields In Bloom spanner card

Tonight I did a new to me spanner card and used a new stamp set that I hadn't inked yet.  A couple of firsts happening here in my craft space!!  I used the Fields In Bloom for my weekly live and it seems as if the card was a pretty big hit.  You can click here to see it on my FB page, or here if you want to view it on my YouTube channel.

Here are the supplies I used:

August 2024 Time For Cake Paper Pumpkin alternates-

I got my August alternate ideas done, videos created and posted and everything else I do with my kits each month.  This is the last step!  I'll post here for you to see, and then save to Pinterest boards.  Whew, that's quite the undertaking when I stop to think about it.  Ok, don't stop to think about it and just get it finished up Jill!!  You can see my albums from my Facebook page here, I load them each month so you can see how they are made.  They are also loaded to my YouTube channel on a play list for Paper Pumpkin alternates.  
This kit had me a little nervous of how I'd make alternates with it, but I don't think they turned out too bad.  The balloon card is a bonus idea with the balloon cutout.  The kit only made three cards this time, so I added a fourth with a technique.  Enjoy!!

Country Lace paper in the spotlight tonight

I made another video to showcase the paper on sale.  This one was for the Country Lace paper and I used the Country Flowers bundle as well.  I did use a little scrap for the stool from the Country Woods pack and the vase is from the Full of Life pack.  I really like how the patterned paper adds to the cards but doesn't have to take away from it either.  You can see the video on Facebook or on YouTube

Double Twisted Ribbon Technique

I did my live video tonight.  I'm still showcasing the papers in the August sale.  Tonight was the Perennial Lavender pack.  I think that these colors in this pack are just so beautiful together.  I love all the rich tones that come through.  The card I made was a double twisted ribbon technique.  It isn't hard to do, but it is easy to mess up.  I suggest you lay the pieces down first and glue them after you are sure they are in the right spots.  You'll be hooked once you make your first one.  Click here to view the video on Facebook, or here for YouTube.
