3 unique techniques on these pretty swap cards


I'll be sharing our July Flowerbug Team swaps this week and next.  Our theme was to create our own backgrounds.  They came up with some amazing ideas.  I absolutely LOVE seeing their creativity and style.  

First is a monochromatic card by Annette. I bet you'll never guess how she did this special background…..

She used Orchid Oasis and Boho Blue ink spots and dragged the ink across her white card stock. One color in each direction.  I was shocked at how pretty and evenly colored it is. I think it looks like denim. It's the perfect way to highlight the pretty die-cut. I'm going to try this myself soon! 

Her greeting is heat embossed with White embossing powder on a die-cut from this bundle.  

She used the Wonderful Thoughts bundle seen here.

Next is a pretty card that Monica made with the Color & Contour stamp set & Scalloped Contour dies. 

She created a blended and masked background using Orchid Oasis and Daffodil Delight.  She added a bit of Pool Party on the flower and the card base too.  I love these colors together!

And lastly today is a unique technique by Lori. I'm not sure I've done this one! Can you guess how she did it….?  

She first scored her White card stock about 1" apart, on the diagonal. Then she folded the card stock on each score line and sponged Balmy Blue ink on each fold.  I know I've never done this one; at least in my memory I haven't.  So cool and very precise too!  

She used the Circle Sayings bundle for her greeting & punch. The bird is water-colored with our watercolor pencils. 

She used the new Bird's Eye View stamp set seen here.  She also stamped her envelope.  

Stop back in for more Team swaps tomorrow!

  • Rings of Love Triple Panel card with video & measurements


    Here's one more card I made during last week's FB Live with the free Rings of Love designer paper in our Sale-a-Bration offering.  

    I cut a 3 1/4" X 3" piece of the designer paper and then cut it into three 1" strips.  I then layered it onto three strips of Evening Evergreen CS. 

    I textured the Crumb Cake layer with the Timber embossing folder – it's also a new Free Sale-a-Bration choice in August; with any $50 Stampin' Up! order.   

    I love how the three panels create a 'scene', making the DSP the star of the card.  See the Rings of Love DSP here.

    Measurements: 

    • Poppy Parade 5 ½”X 8 ½”
    • White is 5 ¼” X 4”, Crumb Cake 5” X 3 ¾”
    • Evergreen is 5 1/8” X 3 7/8”, DSP is 1” X 3 ¼”
    • Evergreen strips are 1 1/8” X 3 3/8”

  • Perched in a Tree Explosion card with video tutorial!


    I can't stop using the Aspen dies!  I absolutely love this tree die-cut!  

    Did you know these dies are free during August with our Sale-a-Bration promotion?  Any $100 Stampin' Up! order and they're yours free! 

    I created this card on last week's FB Live video.  You can watch it here.  

    For the card front, I simply added a layer of the Rings of Love DSP behind it for a soft background.  You can keep it this simple or create your own background!  

    However I made the inside of the card extra special with an Explosion fold. These look so difficult to do but honestly they're not!  Please watch the video; afterwards you'll want to make one!

    The left card has the Rings of Love DSP and the card on the right features the Storybook Gnomes designer paper.  For greetings I used the Soft Seedlings & Perched in a Tree stamp sets.  

    I also shared an easy ribbon trick in the video; if you have trouble with bows I hope you watch.  

    Measurements: 

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
    • DSP – 3 7/8” X 5 1/8”, inside is 8” square
    • Greeting strip 1” X 4”
    • White 4” X 5 ¼” & inside is 3 ½” square

  • Stamparatus ‘Step’ technique with Amazing Phrasing set


    I played with the Rings of Love DSP on this week's FB Live and this is one of the cards I made.  It's so bright & cheery!

    I wanted to really show off the fun phrases you can create from the Amazing Phrasing stamp set seen here. I used just a bit of my favorite pattern in the Rings of Love DSP seen here.  That was my inspiration for the colors – Mint Macaron, Poppy Parade & Petal Pink.  

    In the video I show you how easy it is to get the images stamped perfectly in place.  It is quite simple yet crazy cool!  

    I did stamp the 'amazing' one extra time and fussy cut it to pop it up on the card front.  I also colored a few rhinestones with Blends markers to add some coordinating sparkle.  

    The Rings of Love DSP is free with any $50 order and the Amazing Phrasing stamp set is free with a $100 order.  I love Sale-a-Bration!!
