Beautiful Peaceful View card the easy way with video & free project sheet

For my June card clubs I knew I wanted to feature the Peaceful View stamp set.  This gorgeous stamp makes it easy to create a stunning card with.  I've asked for this type of stamp for years and finally got one! 


Peaceful View June club Save

Could you ask for a more perfect background for this image?  Where did it come from?  It's a piece of designer series paper – from the Thoughtful Journey 6" X 6" DSP seen here.   It's absolutely the perfect choice and much easier than creating a coloreful background with ink. 

THOUGHTFUL JOURNEY 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

The majority of the papers work well for this stamp so my club members could pick their favorite. 

We inked the tree scene with Secret Sea ink and stamped on the designer paper.  It's then adhered to a full 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" piece of Balmy Blue CS before it's added to the front flap of the card base (front is folded back once).

For the greetings I stamped the More Messages stamp a few times and used the coordinating die to cut them all out.  I had tons of greetings for them to choose from.  They then layered them onto another Balmy Blue strip or die-cut. 

What I love about this latest messages bundle is that the greetings and die-cuts are larger than ever before. See the bundle here.

  • Wonderful leaves, trees & lighthouse card ideas

    Today's post features the third post of my talented Flowerbug's Team swap cards.  I've been featuring them all week!  Our theme was to make a card with trees, leaves or water.  It was a fun theme and the cards were gorgeous and unique!

    The first card here is made by Jacki.  She chose to use the Paradise Palms bundle from the 2022 Jan-June catalog.  

    April Jacki Paradise Palms Save

    She textured her White layer with the Painted Texture embossing folder and added a 2" strip of the Abstract Beauty specialty DSP across the middle.  It looks like sparkly water!

    Next is a card made by Brenda using the Artfully Layered bundle seen here.  I LOVE her unusual color combo of Pool Party, Basic Gray & Petal Pink!

    There are so many wonderful textures & details here!  Look closely to find them all; this bundle includes some special dies in it.

    Jonna made this lighthouse card with the Sailing Home stamp set.  Unfortunately this stamp set was on the retiring list and is already sold out.  

    April Jacki Paradise Palms Save

    Her colors are Night of Navy, Crumb Cake & White.  She used the Stitched Rectangle dies to create a window; popping up the 'frame' with Dimensionals.  I love how she wrapped the linen thread around the greeting.  

    Stop in for the last set of amazing swap cards tomorrow!

  • Wow; more incredible swap cards!

    Today is the second group of incredible swap cards created by my Flowerbug's Team.  You can see the first set here.

    The first card was made by Karen. She used the Oceanfront stamp set.  

    April Karen G Oceanfront Save

    She used the Horizon, Stitched Rectangle & Tasteful Label dies.  Sadly the Horizon & Tasteful Label dies are not returning in the upcoming Annual Catalog.  

    Her colors include Just Jade (retiring), Crumb Cake & Balmy Blue.  She also textured the large White layer with the Bark 3D embossing folder.  Just lovely! 

    Next is a colorful card made by Candace.  She used a brand new (sneak peak) stamp set from the upcoming 2022-23 Stampin' Up! annual catalog.  It's called Uniquely Artistic. 

    April Karen G Oceanfront Save

    She fussy cut the pretty flowers and popped them up on her stamped and blended background.  A beautiful floral scene! 

     

    Lastly for today is an amazing card made by Mary. She used the Beauty of Friendship bundle. 

    April Karen G Oceanfront Save

    See all of those colored, curvy layers behind the Stitched Rectangle frame? Those are all cut using a curved 'hill' die-cut and layered over each other.  Wow!  

    She also colored her tree die-cuts using Blends markers.  Incredibly real looking! 

    April Karen G Oceanfront Save

    Wasn't I right?  I told you they would be incredible!  

    I'll share more of our Flowerbug's fabulous swap cards tomorrow.

  • Beautiful Team Swaps; featuring a tree theme

    Last weekend we held our monthly Flowerbug's Team meeting and swap.  I can't wait to share all of the cards with you!  Our theme was to use leaves, trees or water on a card and each and every one is amazing!!! I'll share a few each day this week.  

    First is a card made by Annette featuring the Beauty of the Earth designer paper.  

    April Annette Beauty of the Earth Save

    The clean and simple design really shows off this beautiful designer paper – Beauty of the Earth.  It is on the retiring list right now; see it here.  The bottom strip of a line of trees is one of the papers in this pack.  What a perfect way to show it off and how well it coordinates with another sheet she used for her large circle.  The sentiment is from 'In the Moment' stamp set.  This was cased from Rachael Tessman.

    Next is a card created by Marilyn. She also used the pretty Beauty of the Earth designer paper. 

    April Annette Beauty of the Earth Save

    The card stock is Night of Navy and she used Old Olive accents with the Bough Punch.  The dies are the Stitched So Sweetly which are on the retiring list and one I'm soooo sad to see going away!  See it here.  

    Her card is a fun fold – Card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4" on the 8 1/2" side.  The DSP is1 7/8" X 5 1/4"

    Next is a pretty card made by Tracey.  She is featuring the Beauty of Friendship bundle seen here. 

    April Annette Beauty of the Earth Save

    Her main image is stamped on our 12 X 12" Linen paper seen here.  After stamping her tree and cloud she colored the background with Blends markers!  Who knew you could stamp & color on it so beautifully!?  

    She adhered the linen (since it's adhesive-backed) to her paper first.  Then used the Take Your Pick tool to pull away some of the threads on the sides.  Isn't this amazing!
