Lazy Daisy Swiping Card

Here's a different way to use an embossing folder.  The Lazy Daisy Embossing Folder is perfect for "ink swiping" technique.  Thanks to Patty Bennett for the great idea!  The key to this method is "lightly" swipe the ink.

Begin with a piece of card stock--I used the Two-Tone Hydrangea Hue 12x12 paper.  I like the contrast of a light side and a darker side.  First, stamp the flowers from the Radiant Sunflowers in black on a 2" x 5" piece of white cardstock. Color in with Blueberry Bushel and Hydrangea Hue Blender Pens.  Lay at angle on cardstock; die cut together using the the largest new  Scalloped Christmas Cheer dies.

Then, take off the daisies and emboss just the Hydrangea Hue card stock with the Lazy Daisy Embossing Folder. Now comes the "swiping" and remember "lightly."  First use the Hydrangea Hue ink, then the Blueberry Bushel.  You can always go darker, but not lighter.

Adhere daisies to embossed piece; then adhere to card front.  Stamp a sentiment of your choice and trim, if necessary.  Add a piece of ribbon to back of sentiment and adhere to card front with dimensionals. You're done!

Lots of Things Happening Sept 1st + Poetic Petals Card

 First of all, I'm so sorry this is getting to you on the 2nd and not the first.  Mike and I were traveling back from So Cal on Tuesday (USC game Saturday, Jamie's 5th Birthday Sunday, Tooth Cleaning Tuesday) and it was late when we finally got home!  So I'm a day late with all the September Happenings--but better late than never.

Poetic Petals Card
How often do you make a card using one color?  And make it really a non-color like Basic Beige?  This card proves that beauty comes in all colors.  Inspired by Laura Seki, this simple card has true beauty.
The textures and shapes are what make this card that can be used for any occasion.  It would be a good idea to keep some on hand....

Sneak Peek-Sunflower Fields + Sept Product of the Month

I can't wait for the temps here in the desert to cool down a bit! ðŸ˜…  I'm hoping that using Autumn colors in my card-making will encourage that. 

Here's a Sneak Peek at what's coming next week in the NEW 2026 Seot-Dec catalog.  It's full of "Fallish" and "Winterish" products.  Also, the Sept. Product of the Month has been announced!!!!  All of these product are available Sept 1st--that's just a week away.  Get your order ready.  Thanks to Janet Wakeland for the inspiration for this card. Yes, we'll be making this card and using the Sept Product of the Month in my next class, Sept 7 & 8.

This card uses the New Rustic Check 3D Embossing Folder (available 9/1).  It's definitely one of my new favorites.  It makes such a deep impression. I love the fold down aspect of the card, too. Sunflower Fields DSP brings all the colors together.  Mossy Meadow & Very Vanilla finishes the look

Don't forget the inside of the card!

Here are pics of the Sept Product of the Month--
Available 9/1 
for $5 with $75 purchase
