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.

  • Easy Explosion card video tutorial with Penguin Playmates Designer Paper!


    On last Tuesday's FB Live I shared three unique fun fold cards featuring the Penguin Place bundle and the Penguin Palace designer paper.  *Follow me on Facebook here. 

    Today I'm focusing on the Explosion card. It sure looks complicated but it's just a few score lines on a 4 X 8" piece of DSP. 

    As you can see, it's not a Christmas card.  This bundle and designer paper works well for multiple occasions.  

    The colors are Fresh Freesia, Black, White & Balmy Blue which coordinate with the adorable Penguin Playmates DSP seen here.  This paper is free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion with any $50 order.

    See that cute penguin?  It's punched out with the Penguin punch; right from the designer paper!  

    DSP Explosion card

    • Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½”, scored at 2 1/8” from each side
    • White inside square 2 ½”, Balmy Blue layer 2 ¾”
    • DSP 4” X 8” score at 2”, 4” & 6”, then in two ‘X’s’ from midpoint score to the outside corners
    • Belly Band 1 ½” X 9”

    Here's the video; I actually show three unique fun fold cards!

  • Feels Like Home Sale-a-Bration swaps


    We had our monthly Flowerbug's Team meeting this weekend and as usual swapped cards.  This month we chose a Sale-a-Bration theme.  Here are two pretty cards I am sure you'll love.  

    The first is made by Tracey.  She used the Feels Like Home stamp set and a monochromatic look with Cinnamon Cider. I love the fact that you do not have to color this set in.  It's beautiful stamped in one color!  See this stamp set here. 

    It's such a rich color! She added tons of texture & details to this card  including the torn edges.  

    Details:

    • Stacked Stone background stamp
    • One ink – Cinnamon Cider
    • Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder
    • Greeting tag die-cut from the In Bloom dies
    • Champagne rhinestones


    This next card is made by me in Black, Cherry Cobbler & White.  


    I stamped the image in Black Memento ink and colored in just the door with Cherry Cobbler blends markers.  It adds that fun pop of color.  It's also less time consuming than coloring the entire image.  

    Other details: Silver metallic pearls, heat embossed image punched out with the Double Oval punch.

    I added a 2" strip of the Beautifully Penned designer paper on the left.  I do love Black & White paper!

    This paper is also a free choice during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  You can see it here.

  • Delicate Dahlias & Very Versailles


    Look at this pretty, multi-layered card made by Roxann. She used the Delicate Dahlias stamp set and the Very Versailles. 

    Her colors are Pale Papaya, Vanilla & Black.  She stamped the Dahlia twice; once on the large Vanilla and again on a scrap to fussy cut.  It's a 2-step stamp set with a DistINKtive look. What is DistINKtive mean?  It's a process Stampin' Up! created that gives a multi-toned look with just one ink color.  

    Look at the detail and multiple hues on these stamps!  

    This stamp set if free with a $100 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  It lasts through September 30th.  See it here.
