Today I’m sharing two simple cards created with products from the December 2025 Release collection. For the first card I used a beautiful panel made with Piped Floral Lace 3D Embossing Folder and Misty Sage Cardstock.
I started by cutting out a circle from the green panel and then ran it through the die-cutting machine with an embossing folder. To enhance the elegant and delicate texture of the lacework, I gently brushed Mossy Meadow Fresh Dye Ink over the pattern.
Next, I fussy cut an additional part of the pattern and added it to the circle. To finish the card, I added a sentiment from the Essential Sentiments Set.
For my second card, I used products from the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Whispers in the Canopy. This set contains everything you need to create nature-inspired scenes: a beautiful silhouette backdrop stamp, versatile sentiments, a coordinating die set, a simple colouring stencil set and a 3D embossing folder.
First, I stamped my background with Limestone Fresh Dye Ink. Next, I cut out elements from the Whispers in the Canopy Layering Die Set from white cardstock and assembled my bird and birdhouse. To colour the bird, I used Misty Moor Fresh Dye Ink along with blue shades from Tranquility Fresh Dye Ink.
To finish the card, I added green elements from the die set and a sentiment.

ReplyDeleteWell-done, you! The texture and depth you achieved on card one is exquisite.
ReplyDeleteI just love that Piped Floral Lace embossing folder. Wish it came with a die to cut out one of the flowers as you did. The bird in the 2nd card looks so real that I was expecting him/her start chirping! Beautiful coloring on both cards but especially on the bird.
ReplyDeleteThe grey leaves add so much drama. I LOVE the bird scene.
