Beautiful Sunrise Sailing card with multiple techniques and free project sheet

Today is the last day of the June Specials:

• BOGO sale on all Suite products seen here
• Free Celebratory Sips tutorial for all online orders (seen below)

Today I'm sharing one of my June Club cards.  It's super fun to make because we did multiple techniques.

I showcased the Sunrise Sailing bundle seen here.  I love the stamp images AND the dies in this bundle.  They're wonderful and really spark creativity. 

Save

My colors include Pool Party, White and Pecan Pie. The Hybrid embossing folder in this bundle allows you to get a textured sailboat – you can cut & texture all at once!  Watch the video to see how it's done.  

Notice the textured clouds in the sky. I rubbed my White Craft ink pad directly on the textured Pool Party card stock.  I show how in the video below.  I also added Pool Party ink to the textured waves on the bottom of the card using a blending brush.

Look at the loop of Linen Thread on the greeting above.  This was a fun & easy way to add something else that is a bit nautical. 

I create a free project sheet for my Card Clubs each month and then share it with you once I do the video tutorial. I also share it on the same day as my video on my Flowerbug's Stamp & Share FB group here .

• Christmas card swaps!

  October 27, 2021

  ---

  I love sharing the cards my Flowerbug's make for our Team swaps.  We had a great turnout for the October meeting and swap. 

  Marilyn made this first card using the Welcoming Woods stamp set.  Her colors are Soft Succulent, White & Evening Evergreen.

  Save

  Products used are all from the 2021-22 Annual Stampin' Up! catalog:

  • Wintry 3D embossing pair seen here
  • Hippo & Basic Border dies
  • Tidings of Christmas 6 X 6" DSP 
  • 2021-23 In Color Shimmer Vellum
  • Soft Succulent ribbon

  And here's the inside. She punched a strip of Evening Evergreen CS with the Evergreen Border punch and then textured it with the Evergreen Forest 3D embossing folder! 

  Save

  Next is a card made by Paula featuring the Tidings & Trimmings bundle in the Annual catalog.  

  Save

  Her colors include Real Red, Evening Evergreen & White. The star is cut from the Be Dazzling specialty paper in the previous Sale-a-Bration catalog. 

  I love how she wove the ribbon through the scalloped openings in the die-cut.  This die is from the Scalloped Contour dies seen here. 

  ~~~

  Next is a pretty card made by Mary featuring the Evergreen Elegance stamp set; also in the Annual Catalog.  

  It's a fun fold card where you fold back the front flap of the card.  

  Save

  The designer paper is also the Tidings of Christmas and that nice large White die-cut is from the Seasonal Labels dies seen here.  They coordinate with the wonderful Christmas Season stamp set.

• Nature’s Harvest card with embossed vellum

  October 26, 2021

  ---

  I just realized I hadn't shared this pretty card we made in September at my Card Clubs.  It features the Nature's Harvest bundle seen here in the 2021 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog. 

  Save

  The colors include Bumblebee, Just Jade, White, Gold & Vellum. When I use vellum I always think 'Why don't I use it more?'  It can be the perfect layer without adding 'too much'. 

  Details:

  • The Vellum card stock is embossed with the Timber 3D embossing folder.
  • The coneflowers are colored with Stampin' Blends markers. 
  • That glitzy wheat stalk is part of the Harvest dies and from the Be Dazzling specialty paper that was available during Sale-a-Bration. 
  • The greeting is from the Delicate Dahlias (Sale-a-Bration) stamp set on a Tasteful Label die-cut 

  Save

  
  

  Measurements:

  • Bumblebee card stock 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • Vellum CS 3 3/4" X 5"
    • White scraps for circle, greeting and flower
    • Be Dazzling paper scrap for stems
    • Penguin Playmates DSP 1 1/2" X 4 1/4"

  Save

  And here's the video!

  It's actually a gatefold card but the front panel is a piece of designer paper that leaves a reveal of the right edge of the card base which is textured. 

  For these two cards I chose to use the In Good Taste DSP (Annual Catalog on the left) and Cork paper on the left from the Holiday catalog. 

  Or see it on my YouTube channel here on Tuesday.

  • Card stock – Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss, Very Vanilla, Cork & In Good Taste DSP

  • Card Base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" from each end on the long side
