3 cards with my ‘Life is Beautiful’ MDA stamp set!

You may have spied my stamp set in a previous post, but I haven't shared much yet!  You can be sure I will be posting quite a few projects with it.

If you didn't know, it's a stamp set I helped create as a perk of achieving a Million Dollars in sales in my career with Stampin' Up!  It's so cool to have my name posted under the stamp set in the upcoming 2020 August – December Stampin' Up! catalog! 

I shared three technique cards using the Life is Beautiful stamp set on FB live last week.   I did upload it to YouTube so everyone can watch. *see below

The top left card is created by stamping and heat embossing the leaves with White embossing powder.  Then coloring over with Blends alcohol markers.  Such a cool effect and actually fun to color too.  The dark card stock covers most mistakes if you go off the image a bit.

The colors are Bermuda Bay, Black and Mango Melody.  The pretty label tags are die-cuts from the Tasteful Labels dies seen here. 

I wanted to have a play with a rainbow style card using the distinktive dots in the set.

I used Gorgeous Grape, Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point here.  The greeting is from another MDA set called Ridiculously Awesome. 

Next is a simple baby wipe technique.

I stamped the tree twice to create a wider trunk and more branches.  The colors here are Coastal Cabana, Soft Suede with Granny Apple Green and Pretty Peacock dots.

  • Pretty Soft Seedlings card & video; an easy fun fold layout

    I've sure been enjoying the Soft Seedlings stamp set.  The pretty maple leaf has so much texture and depth and the greetings are some of my favorites. I think I've used it more than any set in the Holiday catalog! 

    SOFT SEEDLINGS CLING STAMP SET (ENGLISH) Save

     We just purchased a red maple tree and planted it in our backyard this weekend.  It's red foliage is beautiful! 

    For this card I chose to stamp the leaves in two colors – Soft Suede & Coastal Cabana.  I know they're not correct leaf colors, but it's fun to go outside the box at times.

    It's one of my favorite fun folds; so easy to do and it can be jazzed up easily with elements & greetings.  

    I chose to stamp directly on one of the Leaf Label elements in the Leaf Label & Amber gem combo pack seen here.  Unfortunately they are out of stock right now; but it will be available again in November. 

    LEAF LABEL & AMBER GEM COMBO PACK Save

    The package includes 25 leaves and amber gems too; all for $8. They're so fun to play with; you can add texture, or stamp or sponge color on them.

    It might be hard to see the measurements in the photo above.  Here they are again: 

    • Card base 4 ¼” X 5 ½”
    • Soft Suede 3 ¼” X 11” scored at 5 ½”
    • Vanilla 3” X 5 ¼” (2 pieces)

    Here's a photo of the inside.  I kept is simple since I'll use it as a thank you card.

  • Quick cards with the Stack & Cut template! Video & measurements too!

    I featured the Stack & Cut template for this project from last week's Stamp Camp class.  Scroll down to see the template; it's one of my favorite ways to use designer paper and for quick cards too!  

    Retreat fall thank you Save

    I chose to feature the Celebrate Everything designer paper for a colorful thank you card.  Here are the products I used: 

    • Greetings are from the Charming Sentiments stamp set
    • Leaves are from the Simply Fabulous stamp set
    • The white die-cut is from the Painted Label dies. The Poppy Parade circle is 2 1/4"

    Retreat fall thank you Save

    And here is the template.  Remember that you can use just one piece of DSP for one card; or stack two pieces and get 2 cards.  This works best with double sided designer paper.

    I hope you try making some Stack & Cut cards soon.  Like I said it's a wonderful way to use your designer paper.
