Bright Color Combo card with the new Watercolor Shapes set


I have lots of creative challenges for my Flowerbug's Team and this time it was a color challenge featuring Night of Navy, Magenta Madness & Granny Apple Green.  Fun, vibrant colors I knew would be fun to play with. 

I cut off an inch from the right edge of my Navy card and added a strip of Granny Apple Green DSP on the inside edge.  

I chose to use a stamp set that I hadn't used yet; Watercolor Shapes seen here.  

I stamped the watercolor shapes all over the 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" White CS but I did stamp off first for a lighter hue.  The greeting stands out more then. 

I found a 'hello' greeting in each of the following stamp sets; Blossoms in Bloom, Create with Friends, Timeless Tropical, Sweet as a Peach, Artistically Inked & Sweet Strawberry.  I had no idea we had that many 'hello's' in our sets! 

What do you think of this color combination?  

I stamped a few of these images twice and fussy cut them so I could add some dimension to the card front.  I also added the new In Color Square Gems and a few of the Clear Epoxy Essentials that I colored Granny Apple Green with a Blends marker.

  • ‘Ornament’ Christmas cards for quick & easy card making!


    We're making ornament cards on tonight's Stamp with Me Live.  It's a quick & easy idea for your Christmas cards!


    The designer paper is the Santa Express seen here.  It's filled with lots of great patterns; not just Santas & trains.  

    Join me here Live at 7:30 pm CT.  The video will be on my YouTube channel by Tuesday, November 29th too. 

    I chose an 'easy' card so those who feel rushed in getting their Christmas cards made. Plus these cards use your DSP and an embossing folder too; both make a card special. 
     
    I added a Wonderful Snowflake to the designer paper circle for a quick, beautiful iridescent element.  These snowflakes will be well discounted on Thursday with the Last Chance List seen here: Download 2022 Holiday Catalog Last Chance
     
    The greeting is from the Joyful Flurry stamp set. 
     
    Join me here when I share some tips on making these fun and easy cards tonight. 
     
    Gather these supplies:
    • Card bases 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • White or neutral background layer 3 3/4" X 5", will be textured
    • Another layer 4" X 5 1/4"
    • 'ornament' circles cut from DSP – mine are almost 3" around
    • Silver or gold paper (or other) for the top of the ornament
    • Twine or thin ribbon
    Other items: Greeting stamps, ink, embossing folder, snowflakes
     
    I made one card into an easy fun fold by folding the front of the card base back on itself. For this one I chose to add greetings from the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set. 

    The card base is Mint Macaron with White & Poppy Parade accents. 

    To catch all of my videos, follow me on my FB page here.  Or on YouTube here.

  • 2 more fun fold card ideas for you; from the Flowerbugs!


    Happy Thanksgiving!!  I hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday weekend and spend it with friends or maybe stamping!

    We'll be with our kids in Fargo and besides enjoying our turkey dinner we'll be playing games, going to an escape room and I'll be addressing some Christmas cards too.  

    ~~~

    Here are more of our Flowerbug's Team swaps featuring fancy folds.  

    Candy made this 'book binding' card with the Kindest Gnomes; see it here.  


    Measurements are: 

    • Cherry Cobbler card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2"
    • DSP 1" X 4" on the 'binding', 1/2" X 4" strip across
    • Evergreen layer 4" square

     

    Roxann made this amazing Diamond Fold card.  She used the Splendid Day specialty designer paper from the 2022 Holiday Catalog; seen here. 

    Her colors include Petal Pink &Soft Sea Foam. It's finished size is 5" square so it does not fit into a standard A2 size envelope.  

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5" X 10".  Score at 2 1/2" & 5".  You'll find the upper center at 2 1/2" and make a mark.  From the top, cut down on both sides to the first score line, removing those upper corners. 
    • Then make a mark from the bottom up on each side at the 7 1/2" mark.  Cut from the bottom center; also at 2 1/2", and cut to the 7 1/2" mark, removing the bottom outer corners. 
    • Soft Sea Foam squares are 3 1/4"
    • Designer paper squares are 3"

    Maybe someday I'll create one of these and share how it's done. It's a neat card!  

    I sure have some talented Team Members, don't I?  They always impress me with their creativity, colors and ingenuity.
