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.

  • Apple Harvest Fun Fold card


    We made this sweet Apple Harvest card at my card clubs in September.  I love the bright colors paired with Black! 

    The colors include Parakeet Party, Real Red and Black.  As you can see I gave them a choice of apple images on the front. The left card above has the large apple bunch and the right card below has a pair of apples with blossoms.  And inside the card is a single apple. 

    The Apple Harvest stamp set is in the 2022 Holiday catalog.  The new Apple Blossom dies that coordinate with it are available in September with our Perfect Partners promotion.  See them here. 

    All were colored with Blends markers – Parakeet Party, Crumb Cake & Sweet Sorbet.  I added a bit of color lifter on the large red apples to achieve a look of shine & reflection.

    This card fold is super simple.  Just add an extra score line to your Black card base.  

    Measurements:

    • Black – 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2"
    • Parakeet Party 5" X 3 3/4", circle is 2 1/2"
    • Cottage Gingham DSP 4" X 3"
    • White 3/4" X 5" strip & 5 1/4" X 4" inside

  • A new fun fold card with This Birthday Piggy; join me Live tonight!


    We're making this cool fun fold card tonight on my Stamp with Me live here on Facebook. It's called a 'pillar' fold card.  Join in and watch or prep your pieces and stamp along with me Live. 

    I'm featuring the This Birthday Piggy bundle seen here.  You can get them separately also, but you won't save the 10% then.

    The stamp set is in the 2022-23 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog seen here.   These coordinating dies are available in September with our Perfect Partners promotion.  See them here.   

    The side pillars fold in toward the middle so it fits in a standard A2 size envelope.  

    My colors include Polished Pink, Parakeet Party, White & Black.  The designer paper on the sides is our Black & White designs seen here. 

    I used our Blends markers to color the images – Polished Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Basic Gray & Parakeet Party.  

    See those neat confetti pieces?  Those are actually 'windows' die-cut in the White CS so the Pink CS shows through.  They're part of the Playful Piggy dies. Same with the grass, banner and pennants.  The stars are punched with the Witch Hat punch. 

    Join me here tonight at 7:30 pm CT.
