Awesome Sale-a-Bration Team card swap samples

January 25, 2023

We held our monthly Team swap and meeting this weekend. As usual my gals created fabulous cards to share with each other.

First is a rainbow of carrots card made by Karen. She used the Thanks a Bunch stamp set. It's a free choice during our Sale-a-Bration promotion; yours with any $50 purchase of Stampin' Up! products.

Save

Rainbow carrots are one of the fun food trends right now; she did it proud! She used the Stamparatus to stamp her carrots, repositioning the card stock on her mat each time so the two step stamps lined up perfectly. Genius! I plan to share her technique soon.

She used the new Cane Weave 3D embossing folder seen here, new Pastel Adhesive-Backed sequins, the Deckled Rectangle dies and the new Happy Labels Pick a Punch for her greeting.

Ginny made this pretty card with the Beautifully Happy stamp set; also from Sale-a-Bration.

Save

It's a beautiful 2-step stamp set that is also distinktive; which means it gives two tones of ink on one stamping. My favorite types of stamp hands down!

Her colors are Fresh Freesia, Old Olive and Black. She added that soft layer of Vellum too!

Measurements are:

Card base 4 1/4" X 11", White – 3" X 4 1/8", Black 3 1/8" X 4 1/4" and Vellum is 3 5/8" X 4 3/4"

Jane brought this cute card to share and I had to show you. She used the Adorable Owls stamp set; another Sale-a-Bration choice that's free with a $50 purchase from now through February 28th. *see everything free here

Can you see what is so unique about it?

Save

The Owl tag is loose and can be removed from the card front. It is caught on the horizontal greeting banner that is only anchored at the outer edges. I love this idea! You could add a bookmark in the same way.

Her colors are Calypso Coral with Fresh Freesia.

Christmas card swaps – fun layouts and fancy-fold cards

November 20, 2023
I have lots of beautiful cards to share with you this week; all from my Flowerbug's Team swaps. You'll love the theme – 'to use glitz, shine or shimmer'.

This first card was made by Tracey. I think we all love the fractured card layout!

If you want to learn how to make a fractured card here's a link to a video I did.

- Holly leaf die-cuts are from the St. Nicolas dies (Holiday catalog)
- Christmas Tidings embossing folder (Holiday catalog)
- Stylish Shapes dies – for 1 7/8" Vanilla square

Next is a neat interlocking gatefold card made by Candace. I'm not sure of the name of this fun fold but see how the circle die-cuts are entwined? One is adhered to each side of the front folds.

Save

Beautiful Winter Meadow card; a great layout to use those extra pieces

November 17, 2023
The Winter Meadow designer paper & the Magical Meadow stamp & dies bundle are among my favorites from the 2023 Holiday catalog. Pretty products produce pretty projects! Say that three times! Ha!

Save

I was playing with the designer paper and had these two pieces among the scraps in my paper pack. I simply added a layer of Blueberry Bushel card stock to one piece and added them to the White card base offset from each other for balance. Easy peasy!

Measurements:
- Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
- DSP 1 piece at 2 1/2" X 4" and 1 at 2" X 4 1/4"
- Blueberry Bushel 2 3/4" X 4 1/4"
Save

Of course the pretty dies help a lot too. The greeting label is from the Nested Essential dies seen here and the leaves are both from the Magical Meadow bundle seen here.

Save

Next I added a greeting layer – heat embossed with Silver embossing powder & my Heat Tool. Adding the White & Silver mesh ribbon in loops under it sure gives a great finishing touch! To add the loops of ribbon I created them and pressed them to the back of my greeting, after I added some Seal tape runner of course.

Save

I saw that this beautiful Winter Meadow designer paper is in low inventory; grab it while you can here.

Last day of the Seasonal Stock up Sale! Meandering Meadows surprise Accordion card with free project sheet & video

November 16, 2023

Today is the last day of the Seasonal 'Stock up' Sale. I sure appreciate getting a discount on consumable items like card stock, ink refills and markers!

The Meandering Meadows designer paper is gorgeous with it's water-colored scenes. I shared three card ideas on last week's live video.

This one is actually a fun fold card. It sure doesn't look like it though!

Save

I used a wide strip of Blueberry Bushel and a narrow strip of Balmy Blue on the front. The designer paper is actually most of the front of this card. Here's the inside view:

Save

See how the back of the front layer of designer paper is revealed here? There is a full 11" X 4 1/4" piece of accordion folded card stock between the front and back layers. It's a very cool design that's also easy to make.

I really like how it shows both sides of our double-sided designer series paper. It also gives you lots of layers to stamp or decorate. I kept mine quite simple.

I used my favorite greeting set in the 2023 Holiday catalog; So Sincere. See it here. It's a gem! The tag die-cut is from the Tailor Made Tags seen here.

Save

You can see a glimpse of each sheet in the photo below. It's 6 X 6" in size and filled with watercolor scenes. This type of designer paper allows you to let the pretty scenes do the work for you. Click here to see it.

You can see the video tutorial for this card and two more below and if you click here.
