2 Techniques with video; Starburst & Masking!

August 10, 2020

I made these technique cards on a Facebook Live in July and I know not everyone is on Facebook. So I'm posting it here for you too. I offer a FB Live every Tuesday at 11 am CT and one the 2nd & 4th Monday evenings at 7:30 pm CT all using current Stampin' Up! products. Join me here.

I had a request to teach the Starburst technique and came up with this easy version.

Save

I used the unique and colorful Artistry Blooms designer paper from the Annual Catalog along with the Tasteful Touches stamp set and Artistry Blooms adhesive backed sequins. The link to the videos is below but here are the basics:

Measurements:

Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
White CS 4" X 5 1/4"
Artistry Blooms DSP – cut 5 strips measuring 1 1/2" X 5" and then cut these in half on the diagonal. Now mix and match them to the 4" X 5 1/4" piece leaving a tiny bit of space between them.

Save

I added greetings and die-cuts from the Tasteful Touches bundle seen here.

Here are the other cards I made using the masking technique and the Tasteful Touches stamp set.

Which do you prefer? Yellow or pink?

Beauty of Friendship Fun Fold card

May 25, 2021
Finally I can share this beautiful fun fold card we made at my May Card Clubs!

I like to wait until after all of my Clubs are held so I can surprise them with the cards we're making. I'm not sure why; it's just a habit now after many years of doing it that way!

I chose to use the Beauty of Friendship bundle (seen here) to make this unique 'Latch fold'.

Save

I chose to use a few of our new In Colors; So Succulent & Evening Evergreen along with Pool party. It sure created a pretty, almost monochromatic card. Everyone sure loved it; which is always my goal!

Save

This fold is very deceiving but so simple! Just a little trick at the end to put it all together. Watch the video below!

Save

Download the Beauty of Friendship latch fold card project sheet or use these measurements:
- Pool Party 5 1/2" X 6 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", 3 1/2" X 3 1/4" scored at 2 3/4" along the 3 1/4" side
  Whisper White 2" X 5 1/4", 2 1/2" X 3 1/4" and 4" X 5 1/4" inside, plus a scrap for die-cut
  Evening Evergreen – scrap for 2 1/4" circle

Pretty Perennials ‘Happy’ card with video

May 24, 2021

I wanted to use the Pretty Perennials bundle for my April clubs and I found a card like this on Pinterest. I love the fresh color combination of Daffodil Delight, Smoky Slate and Calypso Coral!

Save

The Perennial dies were used here along with a few others; the recently retired Stitched Shapes and the Stitched So Sweetly dies. The pretty embossing folder is the Dainty Diamonds and I'm sad to say it did retire last month.

Here's the Pretty Perennials bundle. This did not make it in the new Annual catalog and is retiring next month and it will be while supplies last.

Save

I love this set for the flowers but the greetings are the star in my opinion. There are so many ways to use the 'happy' with the rest of the words. My favorite is 'Happy Mail'. Who wouldn't love getting a card with that saying? It could also be stamped on the outside of your envelope as well.

Save

For the inside I used an oval die-cut and added a fun greeting from the Happiest of Birthday's set.

Save

I made a quick video on putting this card together. You can see it below.

Pretty is the word for the Hand Penned suite!

May 21, 2021

This is one of the first cards I made with the Hand-Penned suite. I chose to use the Soft Succulent card base with Fresh Freesia and So Saffron accents.

Save

That pretty paper is called Hand-Penned Designer Paper seen here on page 131 of the new Annual catalog. It features so many soft, beautiful colors. People are loving it so much I will likely feature it for a kit to go in June.

Save

I used the Painted Labels dies for the neat circle die-cut and the Fresh Freesia scalloped trim is from the Hand-Penned Petals Bundle. Click here to see the bundle.

The greeting and flower images are from the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set.
