Happy Friday! Today’s projects both have the same easy card layout, but with two completely different designs. Both feature plants – which is timely because it’s raining here today, and the moisture is desperately needed. I can’t remember the last time my lawn was this dry… in June. Let’s have a look at today’s cards. Both were shown off in last night’s Facebook Live chat, and the second one was created during the demonstration.
The first of our easy layout cards was received in a swap from Lisa Gardiner. It’s very feminine, with the flower coming from the Color & Contour stamp set, and the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper behind it.
We have made cards like this before, because they’re easy but have a slightly different look to them when opened. A 1″ slice has been taken off of the right side of the card front. Lisa embossed this piece, and glued it to the card base. You can see the texture while the card is closed, and it adds an interesting element when it’s open.
Laurie also embossed the Hand-Penned DSP. The design for this paper was from an original watercolour, then transferred to the paper. Once embossed with the Tasteful Texture 3D embossing folder, it really looks like the paper on the card has been watercoloured. To the point where I actually had to triple-check that my eyes weren’t deceiving me!
Doesn’t that look fantastic? It’s a trick that I’ll have to remember. Let’s have a super quick look at the second card, which is the one that I made last night on Facebook. It is the same easy card layout, with different colours and stamps.
Now… because I didn’t have an opportunity to photograph this one in natural light, because it is raining today, I’m only posting one photo. I’ll add the others tomorrow when the sun comes out. In the meantime, I’ll mention that the layout is the same. 1″ has been cut from the right side, embossed, and glued to the card base. A scalloped rectangle, from the Scalloped Contours die set has been stamped and glued. A piece of the Just Jade & Gold Braided Ribbon has been cut, knotted, and fluffed at the ends, with Champagne Rhinestones added to offset the gold in the ribbon.
To see fast how both of these easy card layouts go together, head back to Facebook to watch last night’s video.
