enjoys photography interior decorating and crafting music enthusiast happy wife dog momma to lucas april 17 2026 sale 0 comments hope panel tutorial by paula cheney i was listening to a podcast recently where the speaker shared a small beautiful observation she loved seeing tiny flowers growing in the cracks of a sidewalk to her those stubborn little blooms were a visual definition of hope when i sat down to create this project i found myself staring at a sheet of cracked pattern paper from the palette yellow collection immediately her words flashed back to me i wanted to create a piece that mirrored that exact feeling the idea that even in the fractured broken places there is space for something bright to grow this project is my version of that sidewalk flower a reminder that hope always finds a way through begin with an etcetera panel 6 x 8 5 as the substrate use collage medium to adhere paper from the 12 x 12 palette yellow paper pack i chose a bold botanical to counterbalance the ditsy print i will be using next be sure to add a layer of collage medium over the top of the paper to seal once the collage medium is dry to the touch scribble walnut stain distress crayon on the edge of the etcetera panel use a damp brush to move the crayon around to age the edges using the largest arch of the simon says stamp a2 arches wafer die cut a piece of palette yellow paper and two pieces of thin chipboard glue all the pieces together with collage medium use 3d foam squares to add the arch shape to the etcetera panel i added a second piece of chipboard to extend the length of the arch 1 1 4 x 4 1 4 i covered the small chipboard rectangle with another palette yellow pattern for added interest add 3d foam squares to adhere it to the panel below the arch once the two pieces were in place i added a layer of collage medium over the top and let it dry once the collage medium was dry i repeated the crayon technique to give definition to the edges of the added chipboard pieces cut a couple stamp from the stamps palette yellow paper and adhere them to the right side of the arch cover with collage medium to seal and let dry once dry use the walnut stain crayon to build up a dark edge around the stamps make a puddle of picket fence distress paint and a small amount of water use a paint brush to flick the white paint over the arch i covered the background panel with a paper towel to protect the surface from the splatter stamping use a stamp positioner and antique linen distress ink to stamp three pieces of distress watercolor cardstock with the daisy image from the stampers anonymous french garden stamp set do not remove the stamp from the positioner after stamping you will use again after coloring the images use a variety of distress inks and a detailer water brush to watercolor the images i used a combination of colors for the leaves rustic wilderness and bundled sage lost shadow for the petals and mustard seed for the center once the stamped images are colored and dry place each image back into position on the stamp positioner this time stamp the image with a dark archival ink like black soot or ground espresso the dark color brings back the lost details of the image once stamped use the simon says stamp french garden wafer die to cut out the three images now that was easy next we need a vase of sorts i cut drew a shape on chipboard then cut it out i chose the cover the chipboard with the palette yellow paper with all the cracks in it to go with my theme i freehand cut a small piece of the palette yellow map paper into a small scallop to run along the top edge but you can decorate the vase anyway you choose i added the vase to the panel with 3d foam squares i cut each foam square in half and lined the edge of the vase so i can slip the flower stems inside just like a real vase add one 3d foam squares to the back of each flower and add to the vase i cut the leaf from the daisy on the left and repurposed it behind the daisy in the front this step is not easy to see in a photo but i used a paint brush to add dots of fossilized amber distress spritz to the center of each flower for a bit of shine again hard to see in a still photo but in person it is beautiful when the light catches it just a few more steps the first being the addition of the word hope to the vase typography is one of my favorite idea ology products the 3d letters always give a pop of something unexpected when added to a piece and they are so easy to use just glue them down with collage medium i do like to have a tiny brush on hand to wipe away any glue that might squish out from underneath and in one final move i added cello sticker tape to various areas of the arch and a clipping sticker below the word hope i used the walnut stain distress crayon to create the added buildup around the cello tape stickers love the dimension it creates so the tape stands out from the golden background supplies tim holtz idea

for yana hi friend please join me in welcoming back the oh so talented and amazing yana smakula please note our dear friend yana is ukrainian to show support to our brothers and sisters in ukraine please see yana s post here hi everyone welcome back for another yippee for yana episode one layer cards are often described as simple and they are but they can also be surprisingly tricky to get right without die cuts foam adhesive or layers to rely on every decision you make matters more placement balance spacing and detail all play a role in whether your card looks polished or unfinished today i m sharing a simple formula i use when creating one layer cards i call it the anatomy of a one layer card once you understand these steps you can apply them to any stamps you already have in your stash and create clean professional looking designs every time you can watch the full process in the video below step 1 start with the sentiment the most important decision on a one layer card is where your sentiment goes because you are not adding layers later you need to plan your layout from the very beginning i like to place my sentiment slightly above center to create a natural visual balance and leave room for the design to build around it if your card ever feels off chances are it s not your stamping but your placement step 2 create the illusion of layers even though this is a one layer design you can still create the look of dimension one of my favorite tricks is to mask the panel edges with tape to create a clean border this frames the design and instantly makes the card feel more finished and intentional you can use tape draw light pencil lines or simply visualize the border if you prefer step 3 plan before you commit before stamping anything onto your panel take a moment to plan your layout i like to stamp my images onto scrap paper cut them out roughly and move them around on my panel this allows me to test different arrangements balance the composition and avoid awkward gaps once i find a layout i like i take a quick photo with my phone so i can easily recreate it this extra step can save you from making mistakes and gives you much more confidence as you build your design step 4 build your background now it s time to bring your design to life work around your sentiment and build your background using your images start with larger elements first then fill in with smaller ones rotate and angle your stamps to create movement if an image feels too long or too large you don t have to use all of it fading or partially stamping images can create a more natural organic look whether you re stamping or ink blending as i did here the goal is to create a balanced composition that flows around your focal point step 5 add detail and depth once your base layer is complete go back and add detail stamping this step brings everything together and gives your images more definition don t worry about lining everything up perfectly a slightly offset look can actually add interest and dimension to your design this is where your card starts to feel finished step 6 fill the gaps take a step back and look at your background if you notice any empty areas fill them in with small details this can be tiny stamps dots or simple textures that complement your main images these small additions help unify the design and eliminate any areas that feel incomplete once your background is finished remove any masking tape to reveal a clean border and mount your panel onto a card base that s it no die cutting no layering and no bulk here s a quick recap of the anatomy of a one layer card start with your sentiment create a faux border or frame plan your layout build your background add detail fill the gaps this approach takes the guesswork out of designing and gives you a repeatable process you can use again and again if you give this technique a try i d love to see what you create watch the video supplies cz design clear stamps thanks mom sss
