Celebrate Sunflowers Triple Panel Card with video!

June 16, 2020

I made this card on Facebook Live last night on my weekly Monday night 'Stamp with Me'. It's such a fun technique!

I love blues and browns together and chose to use Just Jade, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Pool Party with the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set (seen here). What do you think of this color combination? One of my favorite things about creating is coming up with unique color combos.

I have some great tips on doing this technique.

Start out with three colors of card stock measuring 3 1/2" X 4 1/2".
Cut these into three strips 1 1/2" wide.
Lay them together and adhere a piece of copy paper to the back side to keep them held together while stamping.
Stamp large and small images all over the three colors of card stock with Soft Suede ink. *Always stamp the largest image first!
Or use Designer Series Paper instead of stamps!
Adhere to the Early Espresso layer (4 3/4" X 5"). Then to the full 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base.

The pool party greeting strips are either 3/4" or 1" wide by about 4" long. I used the new Pick a Punch (seen here) on the ends and added a thin strip (about 1/4") of Early Espresso card stock under it as an accent. I finished it with a double bow made with our Linen Thread.

Window cards!

July 7, 2020

A few weeks ago on my weekly 'Stamp with Me' Live we made window cards. I called them that because I punched or die-cut a window in the front to reveal the greeting below. Here's one version:

Save

I chose to use the pretty Flowers for Every Season designer paper for this card. There is such a wide variety of patterns, colors and styles in this pretty paper! For the card above I used the Tasteful Labels, the Medium Daisy punch and the Lovely You stamp set.

Here are all three cards I made to get them started. I post the cards, measurements and supplies list a few days before the 'Live' so they can prep and gather their supplies. Or if they cannot stamp with me Live, they can just make the cards using my ideas. Check it out here.

Save

For the card below I used the Forever Fern stamp set in Cinnamon Cider, Misty Moonlight and Crumb Cake.

I punched a 2" circle from the White layer and added a die-cut from the Tasteful Labels dies.

Third card from the Boho Indigo Product Medley

July 6, 2020
This is the last card in the trio we made with the Boho Indigo Product Medley.

Save

Almost everything is from the Product Medley except the punched flowers (Confetti Flowers Border punch) and Stitched Nested Labels.

The vase is stamped in Misty Moonlight and die-cut with the Boho dies in the Medley. The leaves are stamped in Pear Pizzazz.

The little flowers are punched from a piece of Designer Paper in the medley and the centers are added with a Chalk Marker. They're curled up a bit with a stylus.

Save

Measurements:
- Misty Moonlight card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- Designer Paper 2" X 4 1/4"
- Pear Pizzazz strip 1/2" X 4 1/4"
- White & Navy CS for Stitched Nested Labels
Here are all of the cards we made with the pretty Boho Indigo Product Medley. You can see them all by paging through my blog posts the last few days.
