2 more great card ideas with the Basic Border dies!

Before you get to the projects today I want to let everyone know about the current shipping delays. Stampin' Up! had their highest sales day ever on April 4th – by almost 20 times the average!  Wow!  They are quite behind and have added extra staff and longer hours to get caught up.  So if you're wondering where your order is, it's coming….it will just be about 8-10 days longer than normal.  

~~~

This week I'm sharing our April card swaps from my Flowerbug's team. It's so fun to see what they make; everyone has their own unique style.  I LOVE swapping with them!  

Annette chose the Beside Me stamp set for her card. She is a master at coloring and sponging.  

April Beside Me Annette Save

Her colors include Blueberry Bushel, Basic White & Black. The Blueberry Bushel layer is textured with the Timeworn Type folder; the greeting die-cut is from the Stylish Shapes dies. 

She cut two curves for her card; one with the Basic White layer and another with a Black layer.  She colored the image in with Blends markers.

Next is a neat card made by Karen who also used the Basic Border dies seen here.  

April Karen Something Fancy Save

She used the die to cut off the edge of her card and then used that second piece to create a 'vertical window' for her By the Bay specialty designer paper. This pretty paper is discounted on the Last Chance List.  See it here. 

Her greeting and die-cut layers are from the Something Fancy bundle in the Spring catalog.  It will be in the new Annual catalog but no longer as a bundle at 10% off. 

See the Basic Border dies here:  I love these dies; they're so versatile.  Luckily they are carrying over into the new Annual catalog.

  • Thanks a Bunch; a sneak peak of Sale-a-Bration

    I joined several online swaps and challenged myself to play with the new Sale-a-Bration stamp set called 'Looking At You'.  It's all about carrots!

    Here's what I came up with:

    Thanks a bunch swap. Save

    I paired it with the new Sale-a-Bration paper called Dandy Designs.  It's 12 X 12" and has 48 sheets.  It's free with a $100 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion; January 5th – February 28th. 

    When figuring out my card swap I came up with two different cards.  The left card is simple but shows off the images and DSP. The card below on the right is a fun fold card.  

    Thanks a bunch swap. Save

    The center panel on the right card above and the card below slides up and down; I call it a Vertical Slider card.  It's not attached to anything but 'catches' on both sides of the center gatefold design with three circles or squares adhered to the back.  It's so easy!  Here's a link to the video on how to make it.

    I decided to fussy cut one carrot on each card and pop it up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  It took a little time to do 22 of them, but worth it in my opinion.

    Here's a photo of all 22 cards I made for my swap.  I love the colors for the carrots – Mango Melody & Granny Apple Green – I think they're perfect for them.

    You can earn this stamp set free during Sale-a-Bration – January 5th – February 28th.  Any $50 order and it's yours!  Stay tuned for more sneak peaks this week.

    Below is a video tutorial with another version of the vertical slider card:

  • Favored Flowers SAB fun fold card with video

    I hope you've had a wonderful Christmas weekend.  We sure did.  It was crazy busy trying to fit all of our annual activities into three days.  But we did it!  I sure love having my kids home for the holidays; we all look forward to it!

    We have a few traditions; one is an appetizer show down. Each one of us makes an appetizer for Christmas eve and we vote on them.  We vote on taste AND presentation.  This year my granddaughter won with her Pizza Monkey Bread with marinara dipping sauce.  I came in second with Spanakopita.

    The other fun thing we do is play Minute to Win It games.  We had a golf putting game, build the tallest snowman with marshmallows, Corn Hole, name the items in the stocking, moving mini marshmallows from one bow to another with a straw, filling a bowl with bows using a spatula blindfolded.  It's always a blast.  Funny story…. I always buy random presents for winners but totally forgot this year.  And I won!  Sheesh!

    I shared this pretty card on last week's Facebook Live.  I'm not sure what this fold is called though!

    The center panel lifts up.  It's 3 1/4" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  The center DSP is 3" X 4" and so is the inside white panel.  

    The flowers on the front White oval are fussy cut from the designer paper. This beautiful paper is free with a $50 order starting January 5th during Sale-a-Bration.

    I used Blackberry Bliss card stock since it matches the designer paper so well.  

    • Card base 5 ½” X 4 1/4", 3 ¼” X 8 ½” scored at 4 1/4"
    • White inside & DSP 3" X 4", DSP side pieces are 1" X 4" and 1 1/4" X 4"

    The greeting is from another Beautifully Happy stamp set; also a free choice during Sale-a-Bration.  It's a big 17 piece Photopolymer set that's free with a $100 order from January 5th – February 28th. 

    Here's the video showing how to make this card and another snowflake version too:

  • Santa Suit candy bar pull-up treat with measurements

    I shared this cute candy bar treat on my Tuesday FB Live video this week. Need a last minute treat or stocking stuffer??

    Santa pull up candy Save

    When you pull the ribbon it brings the candy bar out of the 'suit'.  So fun! And quite easy to make too.  It fits a standard full size Hershey candy bar but would likely work for others too.

    Measurements: 

    • Real Red 6” square scored on one side at 1 ½”, 1 ¾”, 4 ¼” & 4 ½”
    • Black strip ¾” X 6” scored same as above, Black 1/2" 'buttons'
    • White glimmer ¾” X 6”
    • Silver buckle is from the Potted Succulents dies

    The  greeting is from the Holly Jolly Wishes  stamp set.  I used the Tailor Made Tags for my White greeting tag.
