Amazing Bewitching Bundle projects; WOW!


I previously shared some of the incredible projects Annette made here and here  She was our Artist of the Month in August; as part of my Flowerbug's Team.  Each month we have a featured artist that showcases a stamp set or bundle.  She chose to use the Bewitching bundle seen here. 

First is a card that reminds you of  'candy corn'.  

Details:

  • She used Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry & White CS – texturing them with the Timeworn Type 3D folder.  
  • The scalloped square is from the Scalloped Contours dies. She colored in the hat & boots with Blends markers.  
  • The greeting is from the Best Witches stamp set. 
  • The glittery hat band is the new Glitter Washi tape seen here

Next is a fun card made with Parakeet Party, Black & White. 

Black & White with a 'pop' of color can be so striking!  The circles are from the Layering circles dies; the stitched background is from the Stitched with Whimsy dies.  She added a band of glitter paper on the hat – from the 2022-24 In Color 6" Glimmer paper.

And lastly today is another Black & White with a pop of color – this time with Real Red. 

Details:

  • Painted Texture is the embossing folder used on the White panel. 
  • The Black & White DSP is from the Black & White Designers DSP in the Holiday catalog
  • She colored the hat with Blends markers and popped it up with dimensionals.  
  • I love the knot of Silver Mesh ribbon on the hat!!
  • The greeting is from the Best Witches stamp set. 

Come back for more fantastic projects featuring the Bewitching Bundle soon!

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


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

    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.

    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.

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

     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. 

     

    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


    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.

    They feature a new bundle called Spotlight on Nature. It includes a pretty set of detailed circle dies along with the stamp set. These dies are going to be a big favorite! 

    I used two new In Colors here – Pretty in Pink and Shy Shamrock. I colored the flowers in with Peach Pie & Pretty in Pink Blends markers. There are two designer papers used here; one is the new 2024-26 In Color designer paper pack and the other is Unbounded Beauty. 

    The front flap is folded back towards the left side; this gives you the opportunity to add another layer of designer paper.
