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.  

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.  

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.

  • Spooky Treats alternative card with Aspen Tree dies


    Here's one of the projects I shared on Tuesday's FB Live video this week.  I focused on the Spooky Treats Paper Pumpkin kit.  

    Good news!  This kit is still available – you can get the full kit here.  Or if you're a subscriber you can get the refill here.  

     In the video seen here, I share a bunch of alternative projects with both my Paper Pumpkin subscribers AND my Flowerbug's Team. 

    Here's the stamp set that is included in the kit; it's so cute!

    Here's what the Spooky Treats kit makes if you follow the kit directions as directed. It includes 18 nice size treat boxes; perfect to add your candy or Halloween treats in.  

    I look forward to getting these kits in the mail each month.  I know that October's kit is Christmas cards.  We always get a hint on what it will be. That way you can opt out or even choose to get more than one kit!

    You have a few choices when purchasing Paper Pumpkin.  You can subscribe to get one kit each month here.  Or purchase a pre-paid subscription here.  You can choose from a 1, 3, 6 or 12 month pre-paid subscription.  

    You can see how I stamped the inside below.  The card base is Orchid Oasis. 

    I used three inks and our blending brushes to create the smooth background under the Aspen Tree dies. I share a few tips on getting smooth results in the video.

  • Apple Harvest Fun Fold card


    We made this sweet Apple Harvest card at my card clubs in September.  I love the bright colors paired with Black! 

    The colors include Parakeet Party, Real Red and Black.  As you can see I gave them a choice of apple images on the front. The left card above has the large apple bunch and the right card below has a pair of apples with blossoms.  And inside the card is a single apple. 

    The Apple Harvest stamp set is in the 2022 Holiday catalog.  The new Apple Blossom dies that coordinate with it are available in September with our Perfect Partners promotion.  See them here. 

    All were colored with Blends markers – Parakeet Party, Crumb Cake & Sweet Sorbet.  I added a bit of color lifter on the large red apples to achieve a look of shine & reflection.

    This card fold is super simple.  Just add an extra score line to your Black card base.  

    Measurements:

    • Black – 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2"
    • Parakeet Party 5" X 3 3/4", circle is 2 1/2"
    • Cottage Gingham DSP 4" X 3"
    • White 3/4" X 5" strip & 5 1/4" X 4" inside
