Brushed with Beauty card kit to go or PDF tutorial available now

I chose two of our newest online suites for my December card kits & tutorials. Today I’m sharing the Brushed with Beauty cards. Such soft & soothing color combinations in this DSP.

Aren’t they pretty? I love this pretty designer series paper and enjoyed creating these cards. Each is a unique layout and three of the 5 layouts are fun folds.
*You’ll need adhesives, greeting images, ink and a paper trimmer to cut your new DSP.

You can choose the PDF tutorial here for $16 or get the pre-cut card kit for $31 here. The PDF tutorial is sent to your email immediately. It includes a private video link for you too!

The pre-cut kit includes 1/2 pkg of the Brushed with Beauty DSP, a share of Pearls of Beauty and Vanilla Baker’s Twine. Reserve yours now; I have a limited supply. And I’m ahead of the game and this month’s card kits should be ready to go by next week.

I will share the 2nd kit to go this month tomorrow. But you can see all of my available kits here. Grab more than one to save on shipping costs.

• Beautiful Autumn paired with Plaid Tidings

  August 26, 2020

  ---

  There are lots of gorgeous Fall products in the 2020 Holiday catalog.  I paired a few of my favorites to create this card; the Beautiful Autumn punch bundle and Plaid Tidings 6 X 6" designer paper pack. 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  I trimmed off 3/4" from the front flap to reveal the strip of pretty Plaid Tidings designer paper.  I chose to use Bumblebee, Mint Macaron, Early Espresso and Terracotta Tile inks here.  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  The Beautiful Autumn bundle includes the stamp set and the three leaf punches; all for 10% off.  Click here to see it online. 

  I also used the Wrapped in Texture embossing folder for the front layer, which is 5 1/4" X 3". See them here. 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Look at the detailed punched images here!   You might also notice the Sequins for Everything.  Love the variety of shapes and colors in these.  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Here's a Facebook Live video where I shared three pretty fall cards using the Beautiful Autumn bundle.  Join me each Tuesday at 11 am  CT for my weekly Live videos here: https://bit.ly/FlowerbugFB

• Gather Together card with a cool punch trick!!

  August 25, 2020

  ---

  Marilyn made this pretty card for our Team swap.  She used the Gather Together bundle in the 2020 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog.  There are two really neat tricks you might not notice at first glance.  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Can you spy the two special techniques here?  Keep reading and I'll share them below.

  Measurements:

  • Cajun Craze 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • Very Vanilla 4 3/4" X 3 1/2"
  • Rich Razzleberry 5" X 3 3/4"
  • Plaid Tidings 1/2" X 3 3/4"

  Products Used:

  • Gather Together Bundle seen here just $38.50
  • Woodland embossing folder
  • Cajun Craze & Mango Melody inks
  • Label me Lovely punch
  • Stampin Spritzer

  Okay, now I'll reveal her two tricks!  

  1. Can you see the changes in colors on the textured leaves?  The bottom three leaves were die-cut & embossed (done all at once!) and then spritzed with water.  The water changes the color on the leaves!  I cannot believe it's just water and no ink to get this effect.  Super cool!!
  2. Next is the greeting shape.  It's made with the Label me Lovely punch.  You can get multiple shapes from this punch.  Here's how:

  • Punch one piece out.  
  • Add a bit of adhesive to the end of a thin piece of card stock and adhere it to the punched piece. 
  • Insert the piece back into your punch and adjust it to get whatever size shape you want!  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Here are three shapes I made with this punch.  Super neat and so versatile!  See the punch here.

• So Much Happy card with video

  August 24, 2020

  ---

  We made this eye-catching, birthday card at my July card clubs last month.  It features the fun So Much Happy bundle.  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  I also used the Brights & In Color designer paper for the balloons and the Rainbow Glimmer paper for the pennant die-cut & bitty stars.  They had a choice of Magenta Madness, Granny Apple Green or Coastal Cabana for their card.  That cute White greeting die is from the Hippo & Friends dies. 

  The dies in this bundle especially caught my eye; I think they're super versatile! I just love the window the 'Happy' die creates!  Click here to see it. 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Check out the video below to see how this card is made. 

  Measurements:
  Black CS 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  Inside layer CS 4" X 5 1/4"
  Scraps of Rainbow glimmer paper, White, Designer paper for punches and die-cuts
