I really did play with the ‘Playing with Patterns’! Check out the video!
I had a lot of fun mixing up the patterns in this super cute designer paper on a Facebook Live video. *See it below.
First is a play on triangles. These pieces are just 3/4" wide X 3" long! What a fun way to use your scraps!!
Cut 6 pieces of Designer Paper at 3/4" X 3" and then cut each one from one corner to the opposite one. Now you can piece these together on a contrasting piece of card stock measuring 4" X 5 1/4". Be sure to watch the video below to see how it's done.
The greeting circle is from the Painted Label dies and the greeting is from the Pattern Play stamp set. See the entire suite of Playing with Patterns products here.
Next is a fun card where you cut narrow strips of designer paper and piece them onto a background sheet. Just offset them slightly to create a 'Bargello' look. This is a quilting technique perfect for striped paper!
Which one is your favorite? The colors are Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana and Night of Navy.
I like the one below as the Bargello look is more apparent with the dark Navy strips. The greeting dies are from one of my favorites; the Stitched So Sweetly dies in the annual catalog seen here.
Get the details on creating these techniques in the video below.
Remember I host Facebook Live videos 6 times a month! Each Tuesday at 11 am Central Time and the 2nd & 4th Monday's at 7:30 pm CT. Check them out here:

A pretty home decor framed sampler with Life is Beautiful!
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,
I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping in today!

There are lots of gorgeous Fall products in the 2020 Holiday catalog. I paired a few of my favorites to create this card; the Beautiful Autumn punch bundle and Plaid Tidings 6 X 6" designer paper pack.
I trimmed off 3/4" from the front flap to reveal the strip of pretty Plaid Tidings designer paper. I chose to use Bumblebee, Mint Macaron, Early Espresso and Terracotta Tile inks here.
The Beautiful Autumn bundle includes the stamp set and the three leaf punches; all for 10% off. Click here to see it online.
I also used the Wrapped in Texture embossing folder for the front layer, which is 5 1/4" X 3". See them here.
Look at the detailed punched images here! You might also notice the Sequins for Everything. Love the variety of shapes and colors in these.
Here's a Facebook Live video where I shared three pretty fall cards using the Beautiful Autumn bundle. Join me each Tuesday at 11 am CT for my weekly Live videos here: https://bit.ly/FlowerbugFB
