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.

  • Pretty Soft Seedlings card & video; an easy fun fold layout

    I've sure been enjoying the Soft Seedlings stamp set.  The pretty maple leaf has so much texture and depth and the greetings are some of my favorites. I think I've used it more than any set in the Holiday catalog! 

    SOFT SEEDLINGS CLING STAMP SET (ENGLISH) Save

     We just purchased a red maple tree and planted it in our backyard this weekend.  It's red foliage is beautiful! 

    For this card I chose to stamp the leaves in two colors – Soft Suede & Coastal Cabana.  I know they're not correct leaf colors, but it's fun to go outside the box at times.

    It's one of my favorite fun folds; so easy to do and it can be jazzed up easily with elements & greetings.  

    I chose to stamp directly on one of the Leaf Label elements in the Leaf Label & Amber gem combo pack seen here.  Unfortunately they are out of stock right now; but it will be available again in November. 

    LEAF LABEL & AMBER GEM COMBO PACK Save

    The package includes 25 leaves and amber gems too; all for $8. They're so fun to play with; you can add texture, or stamp or sponge color on them.

    It might be hard to see the measurements in the photo above.  Here they are again: 

    • Card base 4 ¼” X 5 ½”
    • Soft Suede 3 ¼” X 11” scored at 5 ½”
    • Vanilla 3” X 5 ¼” (2 pieces)

    Here's a photo of the inside.  I kept is simple since I'll use it as a thank you card.

  • Quick cards with the Stack & Cut template! Video & measurements too!

    I featured the Stack & Cut template for this project from last week's Stamp Camp class.  Scroll down to see the template; it's one of my favorite ways to use designer paper and for quick cards too!  

    Retreat fall thank you Save

    I chose to feature the Celebrate Everything designer paper for a colorful thank you card.  Here are the products I used: 

    • Greetings are from the Charming Sentiments stamp set
    • Leaves are from the Simply Fabulous stamp set
    • The white die-cut is from the Painted Label dies. The Poppy Parade circle is 2 1/4"

    Retreat fall thank you Save

    And here is the template.  Remember that you can use just one piece of DSP for one card; or stack two pieces and get 2 cards.  This works best with double sided designer paper.

    I hope you try making some Stack & Cut cards soon.  Like I said it's a wonderful way to use your designer paper.
