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.

  • Gorgeous color combo in this Impressions Abloom card


    Look at this pretty card made almost entirely of die-cuts! 

    I absolutely love these soft colors together!  Pretty in Pink with the new Cloud Cover & White. 

    Measurements:  

    • Card base is 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
    • Pink textured layer is 4 1/4" X 2"
    • DSP strip 4 1/4" X 1/2" 
    • White arch is 3 1/4" X 4 1/2", pink greeting arch is 2 1/4" X 1"

    This pretty card is made with the Impressions Abloom bundle seen here.  

    Other products used are the Arches dies, the Mini Corrugated embossing folder and a thin strip of Florals in Bloom DSP too.

    Technique: I sponged the die-cut flowers with coordinating ink to add depth.  Two quick ways to add easy detail and depth to your projects is to use Stampin' Dimensionals and sponging.  It's amazing what sponging can add to your projects! 

    You can see many of the dies in this bundle in the photo below.  

    If you missed the last few project I made with this bundle scroll back a few days here on my blog.

  • A fun layout with the Impressions Abloom bundle; with free project sheet!


    I shared this striking card on last week's video.  It has a color combination I love! 

    The colors include Summer Splash, Strawberry Slush, White & Darling Duckling.  It features the Impressions Abloom bundle seen here.  

    I love the split view of the stamped panel. I did this by stamping first and cutting it into thirds afterwards.  It's simply 3 1/2" X 4 1/2", cut into 1 1/2" panels. 


    Here's a free project sheet for you to print or download.  Click on the following link: Download Impressons Abloom stacked card

    The Impressions Abloom bundle has it all; floral and greeting images with fabulous, coordinating dies.  I'll be sharing a another card made with it this week.  

    This stamp set is both a 2-step set and a distinktive style which means it gives multiple hues of color with one inking.  I've been loving this bundle! Between the flowers, greetings and dies it's a sure winner!  

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and another; both using this wonderful bundle.  I hope you watch it; don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel too!
