Welcome to Valley Oak Paper
I design handmade greeting cards.
Color Catalog & Towering Blooms
Everything had the same intensity, so nothing was emphasized. Adding a white off-set layer to the bottom of most die cuts helped a lot.
Frosty florals
The main feature of this card is created with the Honey Bee Lovely Layers Amaryllis Die Set. It creates a lush amaryllis plant with a choice of two planters.
Happy Holiday Bears
This is a relatively simple holiday card that would be easy to mass produce in a couple of evenings.
Monochrome Stocking Full of Joy
This die set is great to use with scraps, because there are lots of small dies that combine to create characters and greenery.
Bring on the heat embossing tutorial
I knew I wanted hot colors for the landscape itself, but I die cut the landscape from white. Then I used Distress Oxide Inks to color them.
Pink Mother’s Day card tutorial
This is where things went wrong. Out of sheer habit, I doubled up the die cuts. That meant that I couldn’t create an eclipse card. 🤦🏼♀️
Find out how I recovered from my mistake.
Chrysanthemum sympathy cards
The main focus of these cards are flowers from Pinkfresh Studio’s Chrysanthemum collection. I applied the washi tape to tan cardstock to tone down the vibrant colors.
