Farmhouse Florals Pages, Silhouette/Masking Cards and Show & Share

What a week! I’m starting to catch up again though. In today’s post you will see links to my two last Lives, photos of the cards I created and shared in my “Masking & Silhouette Stamping” Live, AND one more project that I created with the Farmhouse Florals August 2025 Paper Pumpkin kit – a 12×12 scrapbook page layout.

For those of you who follow me on Facebook, in my newsletters, and/or on my YouTube Lives, you know that our youngest Luke just had hernia repair surgery on Thursday. He is doing great and taking it easy as he heals from this before his big move to Los Angeles next month.

I also had a minor medical procedure Wednesday afternoon. So both of us are on the mend. And my mother-in-law is on hospice care. So my husband was out of town Friday through Sunday. Hence the reasons I’ve been behind in my blog postings. Thank you for your patience.

Here is the link to my Live Online Paper Crafting Class from last Wednesday, September 3rd. In that Live I mentioned that fantastic cards can be made with just “stamps, inks and paper.” And I demonstrated silhouette stamping and masking along with ink blending and splattering techniques. (Click here or on the image below to watch that Online Paper Crafting Class from 9/3/25.)

These are photos of the cards I shared during that Live. And at the bottom of my post you will find links to the products I used to make these cards.

Branching Out Stamp Set…Tuxedo Black, Azure Afternoon, Blueberry Bushel, Gorgeous Grape, White Craft, and Wink of Stella inks

Prairie Grass Stamp Set…Tuxedo Black, Timid Tiger, Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, and Wink of Stella inks

Happy Place Stamp Set…Tuxedo Black, Crushed Curry, Pretty In Pink, Coastal Cabana, and Wink of Stella inks

Here is the link to my Live Broadcast from last Friday, September 5th. In that Live I mentioned shared LOTS of gifted cards that I’ve received since my last show & share on 8/6/25. (Click here or on the image below to watch that Live from 9/5/25.)

If you were someone who sent me one of these lovely creations, thank you! It’s so fun to see all the creativity. And I get a lot of inspiration from all of you. If you’d like to send me cards to share in my livestreams, the address is: 14275 Raven Street NW, Andover, MN 55304

And now I present my full two-page 12×12 scrapbook page layout that I created with the Farmhouse Florals August 2025 Paper Pumpkin kit. If you did not get this kit, I hope you can apply these ideas to products you already own. OR…become an active subscriber and get in on the refill kit while it’s available. The refill kit doesn’t contain the ink and stamp images. But you will at least gain the main pieces and can hopefully replace most of the stamp images I used with some of your own. And then…I encourage you to stay subscribed through September 10th so you can be in on the next kit (hints on the next kit can be found below).

The page bases are the light side (left) and dark (right) sides of the 12×12 Lost Lagoon Two-Toned Cardstock layered with 6×12 dark sides of Secret Sea Two-Toned Cardstock.

For the left page I layered sections of kit card bases together…upper right is 5-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, upper left is what was cut off 3″ x 5-1/2″, lower left is full card base, and lower right is 5-1/2″ x 5-1/2″.

After adding these to the base page with a 1/2″ border on the top and sides and overlapping the bottom right to cover up the bottom of the upper right, I used two envelope flaps, another kit card base (2-1/8″ x 5-1/2″) and some Mossy Meadow/Gold Ribbon for the title section.

I connected one envelope flap and the ribbon to the back side of the kit card layer. And then I attached this all with Dimensionals to conceal the bag and just show the flowers.

I cut out my letters from the second envelope flap and glued them (applying the glue with the Silicone Brush and/or the Precision Tip bottle) to the title area.

I stamped some extra flowers with Crushed Curry ink and dotted the centers with a dark brown Blends Marker. Then I embellished with extra kit flowers and some Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies and Birds.

For the right page I layered two envelopes and a couple sections of kit card bases together…a full 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ card with a 3″ x 5-1/2″ piece from other cut base on the left page.

After overlapping and adding these to the base page with a 1/2″ border on the top and sides to form a 10-1/4″ x 11″ rectangle, I cut a half bag/flowers image and two circles from another kit card. Then I placed the half bag/flowers and my photo mats in this way.

I attached the die-cut circles with Dimensionals to conceal the bag and just show the flowers. I stamped some extra flowers with Crushed Curry ink and dotted the centers with a dark brown Blends Marker. Then I embellished with extra kit flowers and some Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies and Birds.

This would be a perfect layout to feature friendship or other close relationship (engagement, prom, wedding, anniversary) photos.

I hope you gained some creative inspiration today. Thanks for visiting! By the way, I shared my first set of alternate project ideas on August 20th. Be sure to visit that page to see my how-to video, photos, and more for all my alternate card ideas.
