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.

    We played with the Rise & Shine stamp set this weekend at Becky's workshop.  I love these colors together!

    The checked patterned paper is from the Pleased as Punch pkg seen here.  It's available just through March.

    This Sale-a-Bration stamp set is free with any $100 order during March. Click on the image above to see it online. It coordinates with the Cup of Cheer dies that were in the Holiday catalog but are still available.  Click on the image to see it online.

  • Golden Honey Scrapbook Class with a kit to go option


    Scrapbooking was my first paper crafting hobby. Now I spend a lot more time making cards than I do scrapbook pages.

    I just knew the Golden Honey specialty designer paper would make gorgeous layouts!  This designer paper is no longer available during Sale-a-Bration but I have a supply of it for these classes. 

    I made 5 beautiful, unique layouts with 12 X 12" card stock.  Because this paper is black and white based with some gold accents I could add lots of fun colors to create my layouts.  I LOVE black and white with a pop of color on my projects! 

    Here's a full view of two of them.  This first layout has Bermuda Bay as the main color with the Detailed Bee dies.  The page title is from the Hand-Lettered Prose dies seen here. 

    Here's another one in all black and white with gold accents.  I added daisy punched accents on this page.  

    There isn't any stamping on these pages; it's all pre-cut, punched or die-cut pieces. It also includes the embellishments too. All you need is adhesive so it's perfect to finish up at home!  

    The class is on Saturday, March 28th at 2 pm.  The cost is $25 for all 10 pages.  It's also available as a kit to go for both local and long distance customers.  It's an extra $5 for shipping.  RSVP by March 19th to receive a kit.  

    The kit includes everything you see; pre-cut pieces, die-cuts, photos and tips on assembly.  Kits are mailed out at the end of March.

  • Lily Impressions DSP; make the most of your paper with this fun-fold card!


    Do you struggle with double sided designer paper?  What if you love both sides of the paper and cannot decide which one to use?  Well I have a solution for you with this fun fold card!

    I created these cards for my March thank you's for online orders.  They feature the Lily Impressions designer paper from the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here.  One side of the papers is all water lilies with an impressionistic feel and the other has washed patterns. The colors are bright and vibrant! 

    On the above card the colors are Purple Posy with Blackberry Bliss and Garden Green. The pretty punched corners are from the Detailed Trio punch seen here.

    The stamp set and dies are from my top pick for Bundles in the 2020 January – June mini catalog – the So Sentimental bundle seen here:

    The front right panel opens on just one side.  It's a perfect layout for your designer paper and all you need to do is add a punched or die-cut layer across both panels.  

    The colors on the card above are Pretty Peacock with Melon Mambo. I used the Pretty Peacock rhinestones as accents. 

    Which is your favorite?  

    Measurements:

    • Card stock is 4 1/4" X 9" scored at 5 1/2"
    • Designer paper on the left is 3 1/4" X 4"; card stock on the right is 1 7/8" X 4"
    • The inside white layer is 3 1/4" X 4"
    • Melon Mambo banner is 1" X 4 1/4"
