A beautiful scene with the ‘Here’s to You’ kit; a Paper Pumpkin alternate idea


The March Paper Pumpkin kit included stencils and a sponge in the kit so I had to play with creating a scene.  It's one of my favorite techniques! 

One of the stencils has clouds in it.  I used Pool Party ink and lightly sponged on the upper part of my White CS. 

Then I sponged Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral ink about an inch and a half from the bottom edge.  Now I stamped the trees image in the kit with Pretty Peacock ink.  I did not reink the stamp each time so as I stamped repeatedly I achieved the appearance of a distant forest. Love this!!  

The birds and greeting images also came in this kit.

  • Wow; more incredible swap cards!


    Today is the second group of incredible swap cards created by my Flowerbug's Team.  You can see the first set here.

    The first card was made by Karen. She used the Oceanfront stamp set.  

    She used the Horizon, Stitched Rectangle & Tasteful Label dies.  Sadly the Horizon & Tasteful Label dies are not returning in the upcoming Annual Catalog.  

    Her colors include Just Jade (retiring), Crumb Cake & Balmy Blue.  She also textured the large White layer with the Bark 3D embossing folder.  Just lovely! 

    Next is a colorful card made by Candace.  She used a brand new (sneak peak) stamp set from the upcoming 2022-23 Stampin' Up! annual catalog.  It's called Uniquely Artistic. 

    She fussy cut the pretty flowers and popped them up on her stamped and blended background.  A beautiful floral scene! 

     

    Lastly for today is an amazing card made by Mary. She used the Beauty of Friendship bundle. 

    See all of those colored, curvy layers behind the Stitched Rectangle frame? Those are all cut using a curved 'hill' die-cut and layered over each other.  Wow!  

    She also colored her tree die-cuts using Blends markers.  Incredibly real looking! 

    Wasn't I right?  I told you they would be incredible!  

    I'll share more of our Flowerbug's fabulous swap cards tomorrow.

  • Beautiful Team Swaps; featuring a tree theme


    Last weekend we held our monthly Flowerbug's Team meeting and swap.  I can't wait to share all of the cards with you!  Our theme was to use leaves, trees or water on a card and each and every one is amazing!!! I'll share a few each day this week.  

    First is a card made by Annette featuring the Beauty of the Earth designer paper.  

    The clean and simple design really shows off this beautiful designer paper – Beauty of the Earth.  It is on the retiring list right now; see it here.  The bottom strip of a line of trees is one of the papers in this pack.  What a perfect way to show it off and how well it coordinates with another sheet she used for her large circle.  The sentiment is from 'In the Moment' stamp set.  This was cased from Rachael Tessman.

    Next is a card created by Marilyn. She also used the pretty Beauty of the Earth designer paper. 

    The card stock is Night of Navy and she used Old Olive accents with the Bough Punch.  The dies are the Stitched So Sweetly which are on the retiring list and one I'm soooo sad to see going away!  See it here.  

    Her card is a fun fold – Card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4" on the 8 1/2" side.  The DSP is1 7/8" X 5 1/4"

    Next is a pretty card made by Tracey.  She is featuring the Beauty of Friendship bundle seen here. 

    Her main image is stamped on our 12 X 12" Linen paper seen here.  After stamping her tree and cloud she colored the background with Blends markers!  Who knew you could stamp & color on it so beautifully!?  

    She adhered the linen (since it's adhesive-backed) to her paper first.  Then used the Take Your Pick tool to pull away some of the threads on the sides.  Isn't this amazing!  

     

    I'll share more of our Flowerbug's incredible swap cards tomorrow.

  • Neat Accordion Window Flip card fold with Crane of Fortune with video!


    I shared a few fun fold cards on last week's Tuesday Facebook Live.  I featured the Crane of Fortune bundle from the 2022 Spring Catalog by Stampin' Up!  This bundle is not returning in the new Annual Catalog next month. See it here

    It's beautiful in Gray Granite, Calypso Coral and Evening Evergreen.  The colors were chosen because of the Symbols of Fortune specialty DSP.  It's gorgeous!  The photo below does NOT do it justice!  

    The Good Fortune dies coordinate with this designer paper.  I was able to cut the pretty flower on the front directly from this paper.  I did fussy cut the smaller flower to add above it.  

    Isn't this a neat fun fold?  And it's so easy too.  Watch the video below or click here.  It includes another unique fun fold as well as an easy card with your designer paper. 

    I die-cut the window and the rectangle layers with the Stitched Rectangle dies seen here.  Love these dies!  


    Measurements:

    • Card stock 5 ½” X 8 ½”
    • White inside 5” X 8”, score at 2, 4, 6, 8” on the long side
    • Window is 2 ¼” X 3 5/8”, DSP 1 ¾” X 3 1/8”
