I previously shared some of the incredible projects Annette made here andhere 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.
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.
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.
Card Base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″ Flaps – center is 3″ X 5 3/4″ score at 3/4″, 1 1/2″, 4 1/4″, 5″ top & bottom flaps 3/4″ X 5 3/4″ score at 3/4″, 1 1/2″, 4 1/4″, 5″ Inside panel of DSP 2 1/2″ X 5 1/4″ DSP – middle is 2 3/4″ X 2 1/2″, top & bottom 1/2″ X 2 1/2″, left & right 1/2″ X 5 1/4″, sides 1/2″ X 2 3/4″, corners 1/2″ square
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!

Yesterday I shared one way to use ink on an embossed layer. Today I’m sharing another.
Look closely at the card below. See how there are two different colors on this textured surface? I shared how to do this on last week’s video (see below).
This is the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder seen here. It just ran out of stock and may be a month or more before it returns. Please add your email so you’re notified when it’s back.
Here’s how to do this: I inked the smoother side of my folder (the textured areas are recessed) with Hydrangea Hue ink. I then placed my CS on the opposite side of the folder, closed it and ran it through my Cut & Emboss Machine. It leaves the raised areas with the original CS color and the rest darker. It’s truly beautiful.
Here are both cards; with the addition of Peaceful Pine:
Below is the video tutorial where I share how to achieve this technique. I hope you watch it and try it!
