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.

  • Surprising Botanical Layers bundle includes a stamp set & vellum!


    Happy Memorial Day

    Today we remember those we've lost and whole heartedly thank those who've served our nation. 

     ~~~

    I played with the new Botanical Layers bundle for last week's Facebook Live.  This unique bundle includes a stamp set and a pack of 60 sheets of printed & plain vellum and can be seen here.  

    Here's my favorite project: 

    I sponged colors of Bermuda Bay, Parakeet Party & Tahitian Tide onto one side of the vellum before adhering it to a layer of White CS.  I added a die-cut from the Tropical Layer dies seen here (50% off right now!) and a greeting die-cut.  

    I created a few more projects in the video with other techniques you may want to see.  Click here to watch it.

  • More ideas with the Botanical Layers & Lovely Layers vellum with video


    Here are two more cards I made during last week's FB Live video.  The Botanical Layers bundle includes both the stamp set and the Lovely Layers 3 3/4" X 5" vellum.  

    When I saw this piece of vellum with it's multi-hues vellum I knew I wanted to emulate a mountain scene.  

    I used a direct to paper technique to add ink to this vellum.  This means you rub your ink pad directly onto the paper.  Watch the video here to see how it's done.  

    I used Tahitian Tide, Granny Apple Green & Orchid Oasis.  I stamped the flowers in Black Memento ink.  

    Tip: Vellum does not absorb ink.  It sits on top so it's best to heat set it or let it dry for an hour or more.  

    For this next card I simply stamped a few of the images in the Botanical Layers stamp set onto the polka dot printed vellum.  I used Parakeet Party & Orchid Oasis inks.  

    I also used the Amazing Thanks dies seen here.  A simple strip of Parakeet Party card stock across the card highlights the greeting.

  • Sweet Songbirds is adorable on this cute card!


    We made this adorable card at my May card clubs; it features the Sweet Songbirds bundle and three new In Colors.

    The new colors include Tahitian Tide (turquoise), Parakeet Party (green) and Sweet Sorbet (red) along with Soft Suede.  

    I shot a video of the easy steps to create this card; I hope you watch it.  See it here or scroll down to watch it below. 

    That neat cloud border is created with the Basic Border dies seen here.  I love these dies!! 

    As you can see there are very few layers here; the stamped scene is all you need. 

    See the Sweet Songbird bundle here.  The bird & wing are stamped on a separate piece of White CS and punched out.  They're popped up as well as the sign (done on Sahara Sand CS).  

    Measurements:
    • Tahitian Tide card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • White front 5 1/4" X 4", inside is 4 3/4" X 3 1/2", scraps for bird punches
    • Sahara Sand scrap for hanging sign

    Here's the video for you; click on the photo below to watch.
