Socially Distancing through Crafting using the Grace’s Garden Bundle

Week TWO of Stamp Art Connection’s socially distancing through crafting campaign. With time on my hands, I dedicated the week exploring ways the Grace’s Garden Bundle could be used. I started by following directions from Mary Deatherage, Stamp-N-Lingers “Grace’s Garden Gateway Card” and created a card for my Mother-In-Law’s birthday. Thank you, Mary!

This is a perfect set for spring, Easter, Mother’s Day and friendship! I shared my cards and tips with my Stamping Fusion FB Group during a LIVE stream where they challenged me to create a centerfold card!

At first glance, crafting using the Grace’s Garden Bundle can seem like an intimidating set; but don’t let that stop you! I created my centerfold cards, enjoyed every minute and couldn’t wait to share it with you! Follow my Video Tutorials where I break down all the steps you need to create these lovely centerfold cards! The videos are presented in TWO PARTS — Part ONE is KEY and provides step by step demonstrations for coloring every piece using Stampin’ Blends to create a soft “impressionistic” palate. If you “hate coloring” — don’t fret….this is not hard coloring when approached from a loose impressionistic manner. Yes, you can color OUTSIDE the lines to bring out all the beauty of a real English garden! Part TWO follows in the suite to create a cut out ‘arbor’ that layers beautifully. I hope you enjoy it and please leave a comment!

Credit is given to Debbie Reed for her video tutorial for how to cut and mass-produce the images from this bundle. I couldn’t have improved on her directions and have included a LINK to her video below. Thank you, Debbie!

Don’t forget…you have until 31 March to join me for FREE products!
