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. 

Save

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.  

Save

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.

• A SMART way to use your 6 X 6″ paper with this neat fun fold card; video too!

  August 31, 2022

  ---

  On yesterday's FB Live I shared three unique fun fold cards.  See that video here on my YouTube channel.  Be sure to subscribe too! 

  This card is probably my favorite fold.  It makes the BEST use of your 6 X 6" designer paper! 

  Save

  I chose to feature the Butterfly Kisses 6" DSP in the 2022 Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up! It's filled with bright colors & fun prints with printed butterflies you can cut out! 

  It coordinates with the Build a Butterfly dies and the Best Butterfly Bundle seen here. 

  I chose to use Starry Sky with White & Parakeet Party for my main colors.  The 'pull out' tag for the front is from the Tailor Made Tags dies seen here.  

  Save

  For all of the cards in the video I featured the Charming Sentiments bundle seen here.  It's filled with great greeting images and lots of coordinating dies that cut them out perfectly!

• Blessings of Home & Flowers of Home dies projects

  August 30, 2022

  ---

  Look at this pretty card I made on last week's Facebook Live. 

  Save

  Lots of pretty details on this card:

  • Blessings of Home stamp set & Flowers of Home dies for the leaves
  • I used watercolor pencils & blender pen to color the floral image
  • the gold honeycomb sheet is from the Sweet Sunflower Paper Pumpkin kit; it was a free gift add on
  • I used the gold honeycomb sheet to add a pretty, blended background using Balmy Blue ink & a Blending Brush

  Save

  The Flowers of Home dies are in the 2022-23 Annual Catalog but also available free with a $100 Stampin' Up! order during Sale-a-Bration.  See them here. This option ends on Wednesday, August 30th.  See all of the Sale-a-Bration options here. 

  The stamp set & dies are available in a bundle too.

  Save

  I made a second card using mostly the Flowers of Home dies.

  Save

  I cased the card from Sue Mohr; I thought it was simply elegant way to create a 'wreath' around the oval sentiment.  

  The oval dies are from the Fabulous Frames dies seen here.  When you cut out the oval it creates both the frame and the inside; two pieces with one die! 

  I textured the White layer with the Quatrefoil embossing folder seen here.  It's so pretty and works perfectly with these flower & leaves die-cuts.  

  Save

  The colors I used are Balmy Blue, Pear Pizzazz, Polished Pink and Fresh Freesia.  

  Tip; when adding these delicate die-cuts use just a tiny but of Multipurpose Liquid glue.  

  Save

  Remember that these Flowers of Home dies are free with any $100 order through Wednesday, August 31st.  Sale-a-Bration ends that day. 

  Click on the photo below to watch the video to see how I made both of these cards & one more too!
