A pretty home decor framed sampler with Life is Beautiful!

August 27, 2020

I made this shadow box home decor piece with my Life is Beautiful stamp set. It fits in a 12" shadow box frame.

Here's the Life is Beautiful stamp set I helped design as part of my Million Dollars in sales achievement with Stampin' Up!. You can order it here.

Two tips!

The 'ground' image can also be clouds! Cool, right?
And if you stamp the tree twice, you can achieve a 'thicker' trunk and fuller tree. Just lower the image on the second stamping.

I did use the Field of Flowers stamp set for the grass, flowers & dragonflies. I sponged the white card stock with Balmy Blue to remove the 'white' background. I added Shimmery Crystal Effects on the dragonflies and leaves on the top greeting piece.

Colors used: Soft Suede, Granny Apple Green, Calypso Coral, Old Olive, Balmy Blue

Products: In Good Taste Designer Paper, sponges, Linen Thread, Heat embossing in White, Shimmery Crystal Effects, Artistry Blooms adhesive backed sequins, 2 shades of Brown markers for bird house,

Fun Fold card with two versions!

October 6, 2020
Saturday was World Card Making Day! Did you make time to stamp? First; did you even know about it?

We had a few stamping events on my Flowerbug's Team group and Mystery Stamping was one of them. I sent them measurements so they could prep for the card making event but they didn't have a photo of the card! Just measurements and supplies. Use any Designer Paper, etc….. It was fun to see what they all made.

Below are the two fun fold cards I made.

The front of the card is cut short to reveal the Designer paper on the left (inside) of the card. Above I used the Snowflake Splendor designer paper and the Snowflake Wishes stamp set & dies bundle. This designer paper is on sale right now at 15% off. See all of the papers on sale here:

Next is a card made with the Gilded Autumn specialty designer paper and the Beautiful Autumn stamp & punch bundle. You can see the measurements for these cards below.

Here are the measurements:
- 2 pieces of Designer Series Paper (3 1/4" x 4" plus a coordinating piece 1 3/4" X 4")
- Coordinating card base (9" x 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2")
- neutral CS like White or Vanilla (2 1/2" X 3 1/2" and 3 3/4" X 3 1/4" for inside)
- a coordinating layer of CS (2 5/8" X 3 5/8")

Trio of Celebrate Sunflowers cards with video & an easy highlighting technique!

October 2, 2020
Look at these gorgeous sunflower cards! They were a big hit at my Card Clubs this month. They could chose between Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade and Calypso Coral ink for their sunflower.

Save

We sponged each sunflower leaving the center without color except for a bit of Crumb Cake Blends marker. I know it might not be realistic but I like the pop of White in the center for brightness.

Check out the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle here.

Then we used White Craft ink and Blender pens to highlight a few petals here and there on the sunflowers. It's super easy! I created a video below so you can see how it's done.

Measurements:
- Crumb Cake card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", scraps for die-cuts
  Whisper White 3 1/2" X 4 3/4", plus a 3 1/2" piece for sunflower
