Blessings of Home & Flowers of Home dies projects

August 30, 2022

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.

Save

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.

Save

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.

Save

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

Gorgeous Fall Swaps from the Flowerbug’s!

August 18, 2020
Today I'm sharing a few of the amazing cards my Flowerbug's Team swapped this weekend. The theme was Fall cards.

Annette made this first one using the Rooted in Nature bundle.

Save

You may not see it well but she used the leaf dies in this set to create a textured White background. Her colors are Cinnamon Cider & Rich Razzleberry. A unique, Asian inspired card!

Save

Paula made this one using the Autumn Goodness bundle. It's a fun fold too where the front, middle is the card opening! That piece is 3 3/4" X 8 1/2" folded in half.

The pretty designer paper is the Gilded Autumn specialty paper. This bundle includes dies that cut out the flowers and the wheelbarrow.

Save

Candace made this one with two stamp sets; the Life is Beautiful for the leaves and greeting and the Way to Goat set for the goat who's kicking up the leaves! Super fun and colorful!

Love of Leaves; get two colors on one stamp!

August 17, 2020
I was inspired by a card swap I received to create this pretty card. It features the Love of Leaves bundle; one of my favorites in the new Stampin' Up! 2020 Holiday Catalog. there's also a 3/4" strip of the beautiful Plaid Tidings designer paper here which is where the color combination came from.

We made this colorful card at my Flowerbug's Team gathering on Saturday. It features a two toned stamping technique you should really try! The solid images are perfect for it!

Save

Can you see the two toned effect on the largest leaf? It's done like this:
- Ink the leaf in Pumpkin Pie (the lightest color of the two).
- Next use a sponge dauber (can use a sponge too, but it's more difficult to control) and add Rich Razzleberry ink (the darker color) to the edges of the leaf image.
- Huff and stamp. Then die-cut with the Stitched Leaves dies.
I did the same thing on the long leaf with Crushed Curry & Pumpkin Pie but it isn't showing up as well.

Save

Other details:
- White CS is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" and textured with the Stitched Leaves dies
- Plaid Tidings DSP is 3/4" X 5 1/4"
- Rich Razzleberry main card is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2".
- Inks are Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry.
- The greeting is punched from the Label Me Lovely punch. I started out with a 1" White strip of card stock. Stamp the greeting and insert into the punch for a unique shape!

Stitched Window cards; FB Live Replay

August 14, 2020
This week's Stamp with Me Live video featured a window technique using dies. The 2nd & 4th Monday of the month I offer a 'Stamp with Me' Live on my FB page here. Be sure to follow my page so you get notified!

My original card idea came from the Holiday catalog and used the Love of Leaves dies. But I switched it up to use the Stitched Stars dies with the Playful Patterns designer series paper for these fun cards:

Save

I used the smallest three star dies to create 'windows' in my card stock. Then I popped them up over the Playful Patterns designer paper. Add a greeting and another card stock strip and you're done! So quick & easy!

Watch the video below to catch all of the tips and see the original cards too.

Measurements:
- Card stock for window 4 1/4" X 3 1/4"
- Designer Paper 4 1/2" X 3 1/2"
- Greeting strips 3/4"-1" X 4" wide
