Beautiful Glitz & Shine card swaps


Today is the second batch of Glitz, Shine or Glimmer card swaps by my Flowerbug's Team.  You'll love the wide array of gorgeous cards they made! 

But first I have to tell you about the Last Chance & Carry Over lists from the 2023 Holiday catalog. 

 

The holiday catalog ends January 3rd and they've released the items that are retiring AND those that will carry over into 2024. *see all items here!

This Last Chance Products promotion will include two lists: a retiring list and a carryover list.

Details:

  • Not all items on the Last Chance Products List will be discounted. 
  • All products are available while supplies last, and there are no purchase limits.
  • Stamp sets are not guaranteed during this promotion and are while supplies last.

  • Perched in a Tree Explosion card with video tutorial!


    I can't stop using the Aspen dies!  I absolutely love this tree die-cut!  

    Did you know these dies are free during August with our Sale-a-Bration promotion?  Any $100 Stampin' Up! order and they're yours free! 

    I created this card on last week's FB Live video.  You can watch it here.  

    For the card front, I simply added a layer of the Rings of Love DSP behind it for a soft background.  You can keep it this simple or create your own background!  

    However I made the inside of the card extra special with an Explosion fold. These look so difficult to do but honestly they're not!  Please watch the video; afterwards you'll want to make one!

    The left card has the Rings of Love DSP and the card on the right features the Storybook Gnomes designer paper.  For greetings I used the Soft Seedlings & Perched in a Tree stamp sets.  

    I also shared an easy ribbon trick in the video; if you have trouble with bows I hope you watch.  

    Measurements: 

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
    • DSP – 3 7/8” X 5 1/8”, inside is 8” square
    • Greeting strip 1” X 4”
    • White 4” X 5 ¼” & inside is 3 ½” square

  • Stamparatus ‘Step’ technique with Amazing Phrasing set


    I played with the Rings of Love DSP on this week's FB Live and this is one of the cards I made.  It's so bright & cheery!

    I wanted to really show off the fun phrases you can create from the Amazing Phrasing stamp set seen here. I used just a bit of my favorite pattern in the Rings of Love DSP seen here.  That was my inspiration for the colors – Mint Macaron, Poppy Parade & Petal Pink.  

    In the video I show you how easy it is to get the images stamped perfectly in place.  It is quite simple yet crazy cool!  

    I did stamp the 'amazing' one extra time and fussy cut it to pop it up on the card front.  I also colored a few rhinestones with Blends markers to add some coordinating sparkle.  

    The Rings of Love DSP is free with any $50 order and the Amazing Phrasing stamp set is free with a $100 order.  I love Sale-a-Bration!!

  • Sweet Songbird candy nest box – a cute & easy project!


    Marilyn brought this adorable little treat basket to our Flowerbug's Team gathering a few months ago.  I can't believe I haven't shared it here yet! 

    She used the Sweet Songbirds stamp set & punch bundle to make it.  See this bundle here. 

    Isn't it cute!?  She stamped the nests in Soft Suede ink onto Soft Suede card stock and fussy cut them out – one for the front and one for the back. 

    The box is made with a 3 1/4" square of Soft Suede card stock. Score at 1" on all sides. Cut up on four of the score lines to form your box.  Glue the 2 fussy cut nests on the front & back. It fits a few wrapped chocolates inside.  

    *Tip; before you form your basket, stamp a greeting on the bottom panel if you wish.  Smart! 

    She stamped the greeting on a strip of Crumb Cake card stock and curled it around a toothpick. It's glued behind the bird. 

    The bird is punched using the Bird Builder punch from Real Red card stock.  She sponged around the edges slightly to accent the wing etc.  The belly is in White and is also punched out.  

    It's just the sweetest little treat!  Thank you Marilyn!
