Blessings of Home & Flowers of Home dies projects


Look at this pretty card I made on last week's Facebook Live. 

Lots of pretty details on this card:

  • Blessings of Home stamp set & Flowers of Home dies for the leaves
  • I used watercolor pencils & blender pen to color the floral image
  • the gold honeycomb sheet is from the Sweet Sunflower Paper Pumpkin kit; it was a free gift add on
  • I used the gold honeycomb sheet to add a pretty, blended background using Balmy Blue ink & a Blending Brush

The Flowers of Home dies are in the 2022-23 Annual Catalog but also available free with a $100 Stampin' Up! order during Sale-a-Bration.  See them here. This option ends on Wednesday, August 30th.  See all of the Sale-a-Bration options here. 

The stamp set & dies are available in a bundle too.

I made a second card using mostly the Flowers of Home dies.

I cased the card from Sue Mohr; I thought it was simply elegant way to create a 'wreath' around the oval sentiment.  

The oval dies are from the Fabulous Frames dies seen here.  When you cut out the oval it creates both the frame and the inside; two pieces with one die! 

I textured the White layer with the Quatrefoil embossing folder seen here.  It's so pretty and works perfectly with these flower & leaves die-cuts.  

The colors I used are Balmy Blue, Pear Pizzazz, Polished Pink and Fresh Freesia.  

Tip; when adding these delicate die-cuts use just a tiny but of Multipurpose Liquid glue.  

Remember that these Flowers of Home dies are free with any $100 order through Wednesday, August 31st.  Sale-a-Bration ends that day.

  • Poppin’ Pastels Technique with Delicate Dahlia


    If you've been a stamper for awhile you've likely played with chalks and the Poppin' Pastel technique.  If not, check this out!  

    You'll need just a few supplies – Chalks, Versamark ink and sponge daubers. Well, card stock too! 

    Tip – choose a solid image with a full surface.  Outline images won't work as well here. 

    Here's how it's done:

    1. Ink your image in Versamark ink and stamp on card stock. 
    2. Dab your sponge dauber in chalk (if it's firm like our new Soft Pastels you may need to scrape some off & use the dust *watch the video below).
    3. Dab over your stamped image repeatedly. Do not rub on the outer edges or it may show outside of your stamped area. 
    4. Blow or dust off excess chalk.  Done!  

    Here's the video:

  • Easy Explosion card video tutorial with Penguin Playmates Designer Paper!


    On last Tuesday's FB Live I shared three unique fun fold cards featuring the Penguin Place bundle and the Penguin Palace designer paper.  *Follow me on Facebook here. 

    Today I'm focusing on the Explosion card. It sure looks complicated but it's just a few score lines on a 4 X 8" piece of DSP. 

    As you can see, it's not a Christmas card.  This bundle and designer paper works well for multiple occasions.  

    The colors are Fresh Freesia, Black, White & Balmy Blue which coordinate with the adorable Penguin Playmates DSP seen here.  This paper is free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion with any $50 order.

    See that cute penguin?  It's punched out with the Penguin punch; right from the designer paper!  

    DSP Explosion card

    • Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½”, scored at 2 1/8” from each side
    • White inside square 2 ½”, Balmy Blue layer 2 ¾”
    • DSP 4” X 8” score at 2”, 4” & 6”, then in two ‘X’s’ from midpoint score to the outside corners
    • Belly Band 1 ½” X 9”

    Here's the video; I actually show three unique fun fold cards!

  • Feels Like Home Sale-a-Bration swaps


    We had our monthly Flowerbug's Team meeting this weekend and as usual swapped cards.  This month we chose a Sale-a-Bration theme.  Here are two pretty cards I am sure you'll love.  

    The first is made by Tracey.  She used the Feels Like Home stamp set and a monochromatic look with Cinnamon Cider. I love the fact that you do not have to color this set in.  It's beautiful stamped in one color!  See this stamp set here. 

    It's such a rich color! She added tons of texture & details to this card  including the torn edges.  

    Details:

    • Stacked Stone background stamp
    • One ink – Cinnamon Cider
    • Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder
    • Greeting tag die-cut from the In Bloom dies
    • Champagne rhinestones


    This next card is made by me in Black, Cherry Cobbler & White.  


    I stamped the image in Black Memento ink and colored in just the door with Cherry Cobbler blends markers.  It adds that fun pop of color.  It's also less time consuming than coloring the entire image.  

    Other details: Silver metallic pearls, heat embossed image punched out with the Double Oval punch.

    I added a 2" strip of the Beautifully Penned designer paper on the left.  I do love Black & White paper!

    This paper is also a free choice during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  You can see it here.
