Our August Team swap featured all Sale-a-Bration products. I sure love sharing what my Flowerbug's made! These three cards all feature this fabulous designer paper.

Candy made this first card with the Peaceful Deer bundle. It coordinates with this free designer paper too!

Save

She did stamp the image in the set using Red ink and punched it out. Then she added the Soft Suede antlers and a Red rhinestone.

Lots of details on this card:

Stitched Whimsy dies
Stitched Rectangle dies
Merry Melody 3D embossing folder
Colors are Real Red, Crumb Cake & Garden Green with White

Marilyn made this next card with one of my latest fun folds shared on FB Live. It's called a Faux Pocket card. You can see the video for this fold here.

Save

She used the Layering Circle dies and the Stitched Rectangle dies for her main pieces. The deer on the circle is cut from the actual designer paper. The greeting is from the Time of Giving stamp set and is heat embossed with White embossing powder on Black CS.

This card fold might look complicated but it sure isn't! Again, click here to see the video.

Next is Annette's card featuring Garden Green, Black & White

Save

Her greeting is from the Peaceful Cabin stamp set. It's on an Everyday Label punch. She punched a second piece in Black and cut it in half vertically to layer on the White one. Simple & beautiful!

To me it seems the perfect choice for thinking of you, sympathy or get well cards.

I made a few of these cards with the Lily Pond Lane designer paper too. You can see both in the photo below:

I think these scenic cards are fabulous. Those birch tree die-cuts sure make quick but beautiful cards!

A WOW fun fold card that has to be the easiest ever!

May 3, 2024

If you are looking for a great idea for designer papers that create a scene this layout is it!

Save

Start with a card base of 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4". Then cut a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of designer paper and trim off the right side at 3/4". Add that strip to the left side of your card base and the larger half to the left folded side.

Isn't that the best & most simple layout?! Think of the many cards you could make with this design.

The card features the stunning Meandering Meadows designer paper pack. This paper can be found here in our Online Exclusives – but is currently unavailable until later May.

Save

I wouldn't wait too long to order this DSP; when they run out they don't always re-order and then it's gone for good. That's how the Online Exclusive products work.

Here's an inside view:

If you'd like to have a project sheet with measurements, photos and products used, here you go. Here is the free project sheet for this super simple but gorgeous card. Download April Club Perennial Postage scene

There are so many beautiful scenes in this pack of paper and most sheets coordinate with our Starry Sky, Balmy Blue or Shaded Spruce cardstock. *Starry Sky has retired now; I will miss this pretty blue color.

Save

I featured the Perennial Postage bundle for both the greetings and the label die-cut.

Save

The dies did carry over into the new catalog but the stamp set did not and is retired now. The dies are currently out of stock but should be available in about 2 weeks; around May 13th.

Save

I hope you like this simple but beautiful card. It's perfect when you need a quick but fabulous card design.

Understanding Color Theory (the Color Wheel) with video

May 2, 2024

If choosing color combinations is challenging for you the Color Theory video below may help you out.

You can find a printed color wheel in the new Annual Catalog on page 132. Some of us lucky Demo's received a real color wheel at OnStage in Houston. It was a surprise perk for attendees.

Stampin' Up! has heard from many people begging for one since they saw it. Stay tuned; they are producing another that will be available for purchase later this year. In the meantime please watch the video seen further below to see how you can use this color wheel.

Here's a photo of the printed color wheel in the catalog:

My top favorite and easiest way to combine colors is Monochromatic. This means hues of one color – blues, greens etc. Monochromatic projects are soothing to the eye and can be seamless.

My second favorite is to use complimentary colors such as pink & green or yellow with purple.

If you're using designer paper Stampin' Up! has done the work for you – just choose from the colors listed on the back of each package.

Honestly, how I usually choose colors is to hold the card stock pieces next to each other. For me that's easy, but I know others struggle so I hope the video below will help you out.
