2 cards with the NEW Wonderful World bundle; Free during Sale-a-bration

I always join a few online swaps so I get a wonderful variety of cards back to share with my customers.  Today I'm sharing two that I created using the new Wonderful World bundle from our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  

Sale-a-bration is everyone's favorite time to order from Stampin' Up!  Who doesn't like getting amazing products free?!  See it all here. 

This first card features the pretty floral stamp images and just a bit of the double-sided designer paper too. 

Save

My colors include Rich Razzleberry with a bit of Garden Green.  I inked the flower using markers and stamped once on the main card front. Then I inked it up again in Rich Razzleberry ink and stamped on scraps of White CS so I could fussy cut just the flower to pop it up on the card.  

That pretty detailed background die-cut is a die called Split Card Textures.  It's currently unavailable as they are out of stock.  It should be back sometime this week according to Stampin' Up!  See it here. 

Save

The greeting stamp is from the new Very Best Occasions stamp set in the Holiday catalog.  See it here.  The die-cut for the greeting is from the All That dies seen here.  

Here's a picture of the Wonderful World bundle you can receive free with any $100 Stampin' Up! order. Click on it to see it online.

This next card uses this same stamp set but a different image.  The colors are Rich Razzleberry with Mossy Meadow. 

Save

Again I inked the image with two markers; Rich Razzleberry & Mossy Meadow.  Be sure to huff on the colored stamp before stamping it onto your card stock. 

Details:

• The die-cut is from the Scalloped Contour dies. The Mossy Meadow card stock on the bottom is textured with the new Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder.  So pretty!  
• The greetings are from the new Very Best Occasions stamp set with the Double Oval punch.  Love how easy this punch is to use!  

Remember that you can earn this pretty bundle free with a $100 order.  Sale-a-Bration is the best time of year to get free products!  You'll also receive my free class in the mail with any $55 minimum order.  8see below

• Look at these Sweet Thoughts Memories & More card – Fast & Fabulous!

  April 15, 2024

  ---

  Do you ever want to craft & create but don't have enough time to get out multiple supplies and think up ideas?  Time should never stop you from creating!  

  I made a few of these cards on last week's Live video and afterwards made more; all in just a few minutes! 

  Save

  I didn't need any inks or stamps; I used the greetings in the card pack.  So fast!  

  I used the Sweet Thoughts card pack seen here; it's 40% off right now. And the cards & envelopes are also on sale. See them here. 

  There are times you need to make quick, easy cards just to get your creative fix! 

  Save

  I did use a paper trimmer to cut some of the cards into pieces. For instance notice the colorful striped edges on a few of the cards.  Those are all from one M & More card; I cut it into 3 pieces.  

  Who wouldn't love to give or receive these pretty cards?! 

  Save

  I used just half a package of these beautiful cards to make these 15 full cards.  These Memories & More cards in the pack are discounted right now in the Last Chance list. They're now $6 instead of $10.  See them here. 

  Save

  The photo of the cards above does not do them justice! Check out the stack on the above left.  The package includes 6 sheets of adhesive die-cuts that are fun to embellish with.

  You can use these for cards OR scrapbooking.  I shared my Sweet Thoughts scrapbook pages on Friday's post; see it here. Click here to see my pre-cut scrapbook kit (or tutorial) in my Shop.  

  Save

  You can see the envelopes behind these cards.  They are included in the cards & envelopes pack seen here. They're larger than our standard cards – finished size is 6 1/4" X 4 1/4" and are also discounted to $8 instead of $10. 

  Save

  I did add Iridescent Pearls and a few ribbons to these cards. Not necessary but always fun to embellish! 

  Save

  I hope you don't let time stop you from crafting. Add a few of these Memories & More cards or a kit from our Kit Collection for those times you want to create easily without much 'work'.

• 2 ways to add color to a solid image with video & free project sheet

  April 11, 2024

  ---

  Today's project is one we made at my March card clubs; it features the beautiful Quiet Reflection stamp set. 

  Save

  This set is returning in the 2024 Annual Catalog and I'm super glad!  It's wonderful for both sympathy or thinking of you cards. And the best part is it's super easy to create with.  See the Quiet Reflection set here. 

  My colors include Shaded Spruce & Starry Sky (retiring In Color). I used a few dies also – Thoughtful Expressions (retired and sold out now) and Garden Meadows dies seen here (for the arch). 

  Save

  Do you know how I achieved the two-toned image of green trees with blue water?  It's so simple!  

  How it's done: I placed my stamp set with the rubber face up. I inked up one half with Starry Sky ink (tapping the rubber with the ink pad) and then the other half with Shaded Spruce.  The nice thing about doing this technique with this particular stamp image is that when you place your greeting strip across the image it covers up any white space left un-inked.  

  Save

  I added a few of the Gold Adhesive-backed Dragonflies & Birds seen here.  I love these so much!  They're super thin and don't add any bulk to your projects. 

  In the video posted here on YouTube you can see how I made this card and another with an entirely different way to achieve a 2-toned image.
