Fine Art for cards.... and some snail mail

It's been a rainy day here in the Blue Mountains NSW, but thankfully, we are safe from the flooding that is happening in other areas nearby! So, while my girls enjoyed some screen time (gaming and such) I was left to do whatever I chose.

My 'Cards to Go Kit' for this month featured 4 cards (including envelopes) and featured products from the current JJ Mini Catalogue (JJ = Jan-Jun).

I will show 2 today & 2 next week. Click on the image to Shop the items used.


This card features the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper, overlaid with the Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate. I've then topped that with a die & sentiment from the Tasteful Touches Bundle (which includes the Tasteful Touches Stamp Set and the Tasteful Labels Dies) and added a little Mossy Meadow Braided Linen Trim. This is on a Terracotta Tile card base - one of the 2019-2021 In Colours which will be retiring soon! So if you like it, stock up now.

 

 

This card was taken or CASEd (Copy And Share Everything) from page 54 of the 2021 JJ Mini Catalogue and has NO STAMPING at all. It uses strips of the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper, along with strips of Real Red, Bermuda Bay, Blushing Bride and Daffodil Delight cardstock. The card base is Pool Party and the white layer is scored at 1cm intervals to create some texture. The snail and "hello" have been die cut from the DSP. 

If you ever see a project you like (and might like to have a go) in one of the SU catalogues and can't quite figure out what products are used, just contact me and I will be able to give you a list! As a demonstrator, we have access to all the 'recipes' for every project in each catalogue.

Stay safe everyone!

Cards to Go kit with a masucline theme

 My Cards to Go kits started up again last month, and I had been asked if I could include some masculine cards this time - not my strong suit I must say.

So after have a good Google & Pinterest search, here is what the kits made.





These cards all involve little to no stamping and lots of DSP and die cut pieces.

The are also quite simple to copy and repeat!

If you would like more info on any of these, just leave a comment, or send me an email.

Clicking on each image will provide a list of the products used (the DSP in the circle one is no longer available as it was a Sale-a-bration item).
