3 Fun Projects & Video with the Circle Celebration stamp set


I tried not to order the Circle Celebration stamp set but it kept calling out 'Order me!'  So I caved….and am so glad I did!  The images seem like they're almost 'retro' style which I love.  I do enjoy creating my own stamped background and these are perfect for that.  

Today I'm focusing on the cards on the right.  I made them with the Bokeh technique.  It's so fun and almost 3D in appearance.  

You start out with a sponged background. I used our new Blending Brushes that are awesome! They are currently out of stocks but should be back at the end of March.

Randomly sponge ink colors onto our Basic White CS.  Choose colors that somewhat coordinate if possible.  this can be difficult for some who struggle with color combos. I choose colors that when mixed do not make mud.  How do I know which colors don't mix?  Trial and error of course!  Here I used Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape.  Aren't these colors gorgeous together?!!!

*Another combo I might pick are yellows, oranges & reds.  Or greens & blues!  

Once you're done you add sponged circles using White Craft ink.  I made my own stencils by punching circles out of card stock.  I share tips on using and re-inking our White Craft ink in the video below.

The greeting is from the Best Year stamp set in the Annual Catalog and the butterflies AND white dotted die-cut 'holes' are from the new Brilliant Wings bundle seen here.

Here is the video; I hope you watch it to see how to make these fun projects!

  • Use Sketches for inspiration!


    I've recently started sharing sketches on my Flowerbug's Team page and this is one of the firsts: 

    I think it's a fun layout and quick too.  I decided to use the designer paper from the Boho Indigo product medley.  I love these tones of blue!   

    The card stock is Misty Moonlight and White. Below is a list of products I used. Click on each to see them in my store.

  • Welcome cards made with scraps & Field & Flower DSP


    This week I've been sharing cards made with this beautiful Flower & Field DSP; it's free with any $50 order in February during Sale-a-Bration See it here. 

    I created a colorful group of cards for my new Team members last week.  I had a bunch of random pieces in the pack of Designer Paper and I decided to challenge myself to use mostly extras & just create! 

    Look at the fun colors and layouts!  I grabbed my bags of scraps and a pile of White CS strips and just played.  Have you ever done this? 

    This Flower & Field DSP (seen here) has so many different color combos in it; all with a Black background.  Honestly at first I wasn't sure I liked it. However I love to accent with black; it seems to make a card stand out beautifully.  Looking at these cards now I just love i

    This Designer Paper is free with any $50 order this month.  But it ends February 28th!  Plus you never know if they could run out.  So don't wait!  

    If you have a nice size wish list I hope you'll consider purchasing the Stampin' Up! Starter kit.  It is such a great deal and no one on my Team has ever regretted it!  In fact most say they wish they'd done it sooner!

    While I'm very, very grateful for the $100 orders I'm getting I cannot help think that the order could be a Starter Kit purchase!  Free shipping and 20% off future orders.  

    Did you know?

    In the Starter kit you get $125 of product of your choice, 5 packs of 6×6 DSP ($57.50), a free past Paper Pumpkin kit ($21) with no shipping on any of this ($20.35).

    So instead of $223.85… you pay just $99?! What?  Amazing!

  • Field & Flower Mystery Card


    I am holding a mystery card challenge with me Team.  I send them a variety of pieces in a card base and challenge them to use them to create a card.  They can cut up or punch, or add anything to create an original card. 

    This week I'm sharing a few projects with the pretty Field & Flower DSP (seen here) from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  It's currently free with any $50 order US.  

    Here is what I came up with for my Mystery card: 

    In their packet I added a White card base, a large piece of Flower & Field designer series paper, a strip of Bumblebee CS, punched Black & white pieces and some Bumblebee ribbon.  I decided to add a few stitched flowers from the Pierced Bloom dies (seen here).  Look at this amazing stitching!  

    The Black center is from the Perennial Petal dies (seen here) however. I love that cute die!  The greeting is from the Happy Thoughts stamp set. 

    To create this angled piece I started with a 4" X 4 1/4" piece of designer paper and just cut it in half on the diagonal.  It really doesn't matter what your angle is.  Then I added a strip of Bumblebee CS underneath the diagonal cut.  So easy!
