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.  

April Beside Me Annette Save

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.  

April Karen Something Fancy Save

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.

  • Everyday Happiness fun fold card kit to go; or choose the PDF tutorial option

    I chose to feature the new Everyday Happiness designer paper for one of my card kits to go in February. Each month I offer two new kits in my shop here.  

    Everyday Happiness cards Save

    These soft & pretty cards are all fancy folds. You'll make 2 each of the 5 card designs. It's always great to learn a few new fold ideas and have samples in hand to case later. 

    The kit includes these Stampin' Up! products – a share of each – Everyday Happiness DSP, the Iridescent gems & Lost Lagoon cording. You'll want to have the Pretty Peacock ink and greeting images.  I used the With You in Mind and Layering Leaves sets but you can substitute others easily. *Add on $40 in product to your kit order and choose a free SAB item! 

    The pre-cut kit includes all card bases, layers and punched or die-cut pieces.  You will need a paper trimmer for your new DSP. 

    To reserve a pre-cut kit to go for $31 click here.  To purchase the PDF tutorial for $16 click here. 

    The PDF tutorial will be emailed to your immediately after payment.  Please check your junk mail!  The kit with product will be shipped to you at the end of February, barring any product shortages. 

    *Supplies needed: a paper trimmer (for your new DSP), greeting images, ink & adhesives.  

    Remember I have other kits as well; check them all out here and save on shipping.

  • Beautiful DSP Diamond Gatefold card with video & free project sheet

    I shared this pretty fun fold card on last week's Live video. You can see it here or scroll down a bit.  

    Bloom Impressions spring corners Save

    It features the Spring Corners bundle seen here and the Bloom Impressions DSP from our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  This DSP can be seen here. It's free with any $60 purchase!  Unfortunately it's in low inventory status and may be gone soon.  I love it and thought it was one of our best offerings.  

    BLOOM IMPRESSIONS 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

    The Spring Corners set is one of my new favorites; I love the unusual corner style greetings and other images but the dies are special too!  As you can see in the front panel I die-cut the coneflower image and then replaced the flower centers with Melon Mambo pieces.  So easy and a fun trick!

    Here's how it looks when it's opened below. Notice the greeting is in two lines horizontally.  I cut the 'corner' shaped stamp set at the corner point so I could have a normal inside greeting.  When I want to use it as a corner stamp it easily fits back together on my block again.

  • Bright Borders fun fold with Bloom Impressions DSP

    We made these pretty cards at my Clubs in January.  I featured the Bright Borders stamp set with the To the Point punch and the Sale-a-Bration Bloom Impressions DSP. 

    Bright Borders & To the Point punch Save

    Unfortunately the To the Point punch is out of stock and isn't expected to be back until April!  I was worried about this when I saw it was in low inventory. 

    The gorgeous Bloom Impressions DSP is a free choice during Sale-a-Bration and is also in low inventory.  If it does run out it's possible they'll turn off the item number if they cannot get more in stock before the end of February.  So grab yours here now! 

    BLOOM IMPRESSIONS 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

    This is a fun fold card – sometimes called a 'back-fold'. The far right inside is scored so it can bend backwards. The greeting layers are adhered to that side and hold the card closed.  It's a great way to show off our coordinating colors in our beautiful designer papers.
