True Love DSP with the Color and Contour Bundle

Hi there friends!

Where does the time go? I realize that I missed posting pics of my Make N Take projects last Saturday on my blog, so I've included the link to the video tutorial today. Customers were able to pick up a free Make N Take with their catalogue for the Catalogue Launch. Perhaps next catalogue launch you can join us. I would love that!

Today's cards feature the True Love Designer Series Paper and it's well named, because I truly love it. I'm a huge fan of black and white cards, and chose So Saffron as my accent colour for these cards. The two cards both use elements of a card by Cindy Elam at Heart's Delight Cards, who used the Pansy Patch DSP for her card. I used the black dsp with the white diamond dots for my card. You can see the Facebook LIVE tutorial here. I love how the flowers coloured with the So Saffron Stampin' Blends pop off the page. 

The second card also used the scalloped die, but this time I used it to cut the card base. A little colouring with Stampin' Blends on the striped DSP adds some fun to this card. The Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon and Metallic Pearls add a little shine.
 I just adore this floral paper in the DSP pack. To keep with my yellow theme, I coloured the center of the flowers with my So Saffron Dark Stampin' Blend, then added some Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon. The Basic White layer on the card front was embossed with the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder.
To add some continuity to the card, I die cut a scalloped layer for the inside of the card as well. I just love the scalloped dies that are a part of this Color and Contour Bundle.
My final card used another floral pattern from the True Love DSP, but it's a little muted by the addition of  a Vellum Cardstock die cut over the top. The So Saffron strip across the lower half of the card was also embossed with the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. The gems used here are from the Elegant Gems, and I borrowed a sentiment from the Enjoy The Moment Stamp Set to finish the card off.

 

Inside the card I repeated the floral stamp, rather than add a second sentiment, as I feel it makes the card suitable for a variety of purposes, and I always like to write a little something inside my cards.

To receive a kit to make these cards, place an order for $65 or more using Host Code AFQTQEXJ by May 29th and message me on my Facebook Page with your address (so that I can mail you the kit). The kit will include embellishments, pre-cut paper, and written instructions. You will need the Color and Contour Bundle, Memento Tuxedo Black, So Saffron, and Smoky Slate Ink, and So Saffron and Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends. Please note that you will need a sentment to work in a strip for the last card shown, where I used "a little note" from the Enjoy the Moment Stamp Set.

I hope you enjoyed the cards today and that you'll come by again. If you live in Canada and don't already have a demonstrator, I would be pleased to help you with your paper crafting needs. Let me know if you'd like to receive a free catalogue.

Happy Crafting!

  1. Very pretty cards! I do love black and white with a pop of color as well, so this set and dip are some of my favorite for that type of design. Thank you for your inspiration. I am also a demo and would like to CASE some of your ideas and share with my customers if that's OK. I will give you credit!
