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.

  • An easy card with Prairie Grass & Thoughtful Journey


    Here’s the last card I shared on last week’s video – all three featured the beautiful Prairie Grass stamp set seen here.  Unfortunately it is now out of stock but you can add your email to be informed when it’s available. 

    I stamped it onto a piece of Thoughtful Journey designer series paper. Then I cut it into 3/4″ strips before adhering it onto the Black CS layer and then the White card base. 

    You might wonder where the layered greeting shape is from. I used the To the Point punch with a 3/4″ strip of DSP like this: 

    Tip: Insert your paper through the back of the punch like you see above.  Notice it’s not through the side; but inserted into the back area.  Once you do both ends and you’re happy with the length of it, adhere it to a Black strip 1″ wide and punch both ends to layer evenly.  

    Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Print or download it by clicking on this link: Download Prairie Grass scene

    And here’s the video below where I share how to create this gorgeous card and two other cards featuring this amazing Prairie Grass stamp set.

  • Stunning Prairie Grass sunset scene with a masked moon & video tutorial


    I'm thrilled to share this amazing card with you today.  We made it at my July card clubs. 

    I created a beautiful sunset with stamps, ink and a 'moon mask'.  I used Blending Brushes with Secret Sea, Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger inks.  

    It features the beautiful Prairie Grass stamp set seen here.  Since I'm from North Dakota where we have tons of 'prairie' this set was a must have!  *Unfortunately it is now out of stock but you can add your email to be informed when it's available. It should be back around August 11th. 

    After stamping the grassy image we added a post-it note mask made from a circle punch. Then we blended the inks on little by little.  It's important to use less ink and more time to get this pretty soft effect. 

    See the flap on the left side of the card above?  That flap holds down the front of the card.  So simple but a fun technique. Notice the light sponging on the greeting inside?  

    I created a free project sheet for this card.  You can print or download it by clicking on the following link: Download Prarie Grass July 2025
