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.

  • More fun fold cards with One Horse Open Sleigh!

    Here are the other two cards I shared in last week's Live video.  If you're not following me on Facebook to catch the live videos click here to join my FB page!  

    Not on Facebook, follow me on YouTube here. 

    This first card is a Spanner fun fold card; featuring the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper seen here. It's only seen in our Online Exclusives.  

    One Horse open sleigh 5 Save

    My colors are Gray Granite with Early Espresso ink. The die-cut trees are from the Horse & Sleigh dies seen here. I added some color to the base of the trees with brown & Gray Granite Blends. My greetings are from the Lasting Joy and Layering Leaves sets.

    Here's the view once the upper panel is lifted.  I stamped a tree from the Horse & Sleigh bundle on the inside.  

    One Horse open sleigh 5b Save

    Measurements: 

    • Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”.  Cut up to the 4 ¼” score line at 1 ¼” from each outer edge.
    • Greeting strip 5 ½” X 1”

    Next is a double flap card in blues – Misty Moonlight & Boho Blue.  These colors pair beautifully together.  

    One Horse open sleigh 4b Save

    This card is a wonderful fun fold layout for 6" papers.  You can make two cards with one piece. Or make 8 cards with a 12" designer paper! The stamps are from One Horse Open Sleigh and Lasting Joy.  

    The side flap is scored and the score line is placed right at the left card edge.  I cover that up with the inside white panel.  

    Measurements:

    • DSP – 1 piece per card 3” X 5 ¼”
    • Card base 5 ½” X 4 ¼”
    • Center flap 3 ¼” X 11” score at 5 ½”, Side flap 5” X 1” score at ¾”
    • White inside 3” X 5 ¼”

    Both of these cards are included in my One Horse Open Sleigh fun fold cards PDF tutorial seen here.  My tutorials can be used for more than this designer paper!
