We made this card at my August card clubs and it was a big hit! Turquoise might not be a traditional color but it sure is pretty! This technique will work beautifully with yellows & oranges too.
We started by embossing a white layer of card stock with the embossing folder. Then using the debossed side, added Coastal Cabana ink to the petals with a sponge dauber.
Next we did the ‘direct to paper’ technique – rubbing our ink pad directly onto the embossed card stock – with Pecan Pie ink. After that we did the same with Early Espresso ink. This picked up the fine details in the embossing. Gorgeous!!
This Sunflower 3D embossing folder has been out of stock twice already and it’s in low inventory again! You can see it here. Get it while it’s available! Online Exclusive products are while supplies last…..
Her colors include Melon Mambo, Black & White. Those scalloped circle dies are so fun aren’t they? The leaf die-cuts are from the Delicate Whispers dies seen here.
Next is a striking card made by Joan: She chose to highlight the Scenic Coast DSP.
Super cool! To make this card you’ll start with a 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ card base, scored at 4 1/4″. Now use the paper trimmer to cut up to the score line on each side at 1 1/4″. The DSP is 2 3/4″ X 4″ and on the sides it’s 1″ X 4″. There’s also a lower and an upper strip that is 5 1/4″ X 1″.
Great cards ladies! I’ll share more later this week.

Even if they don’t have a ‘Sale’ icon most are still reduced in price. My kits include about $20 in SU product plus the 10-12 pre-cut cards! Most only need greeting images added. You will need adhesives, ink and a paper trimmer to cut the DSP in most cases.
These are a steal of a deal!
They’re so fun to create with and many come with both PDF & video tutorials too. Most will include fun fold layouts and you’ll find new ways to create with my unique layouts.
We held out Team card swap Saturday and I want to share some of these awesome swaps they made. Our theme was to use new catalog products. This swap was ‘shoebox’ style so we made each other’s cards in person. I love shoebox swaps!
Tracey created this special card using the new Peaceful Pine in color. She paired it with Cloud Cover and Berry Burst here.
Look at that stamped panel; it is NOT designer paper! She stamped it because she loves to create with our stamps. And she finds it fun to create unique color combos too. She used the stamps from the Boutique Blossoms bundle seen here.
The Heirloom Boutique suite is one that Stampin’ Up! says will remain current for a year! I love knowing this; it helps when you join swaps and post projects for customers.

Her card is a spinner card using Baker’s Twine. It’s fun to set up a card like this so when the recipient removed the card from the envelope the circle spins. You simply wind it up before inserting it in your envelope. So cool!
We added stamped & punched butterflies all over this card; using the newest In Colors. The inside polka dot DSP panel is from the new Painted Patterns 12 X 12″ DSP seen here.It’s available in most of our color families!
Before the string is added to the crease of the fold you’ll cut the larger circle from the front. She has so many layers on her card; it can be tricky to get the circle die-cut ‘cut’ through the layers. We ran it back and forth the Cut & Emboss machine but it did cut!
It’s an amazing card Kim!
