Celebrate Sunflowers Triple Panel Card with video!


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.

  • 2 fabulous new Kits in our Kit Collection


    At the beginning of each month Stampin’ Up! adds at least 2 new kits in their online Kit Collection. This month they’re extra special!

    First is a 9 card kit called Painted Skies and it’s a big WOW.

    See what I mean? This is an all inclusive kit that has no stamping required. You’ll be especially proud to give these cards away.

    Each one is a fun fold card that opens once and then once more. It comes with everything you need to complete them. Pre-stamped greetings, die-cut beachy elements, Dimensionals, gems and adhesive. It’s $18 and you can see it here.

    The second new kit is a big Scrapbooking kit called Sunniest Stories and can be seen here.

    It can create at least 12 pages like the two above! That’s 6 double layouts in 12 X 12″ size.
    It includes the following:

    Step-by-step instructions

    -12 sheets of single-sided Designer Series Paper

    -4 sheets of precut images and phrases & 4 sheets of cut-apart designs

    -20 colored and patterned 4″ x 6″ cards

    -1 sheet of printed stickers

    -8 yards (7.3 m) of Tear & Tape Adhesive, 100 Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals & 50 Mini Glue Dots

  • A WOW card with Swirled Designs


    This is one of those cards you will not soon forget; the Swirled Designs bundle is so cool!

    See what I mean? The colors include Blueberry Bushel, Shaded Spruce & White. Striking, bold colors for a celebratory card. The stars are die-cuts from the Swirled Designs dies.

    The Swirled Designs bundle was a sleeper; not many people have used it. But once you do…. you’ll want to use it over and over. See the stamp set here and the dies here. You can choose the bundle here, but the dies are discounted which makes it almost the same cost to order separately. It’s on the Last Chance list unfortunately; only available while supplies last.

    For the greetings I used the Reason to Celebrate stamp set. Wonderful and specific greeting images you will love. See it here.

    It’s a simple fun fold card where you score the front one extra time. I used the Garden Poetry DSP for the left side panel. That’s where I got the idea for my colors.

  • Gorgeous Petals of Beauty fun fold card with video


    This pretty card was a big favorite of my club gals in March.

    It features the Brushed with Beauty suite which includes many items that are now on the Last Chance list!
    The Petals of Beauty bundle was used mostly for the stamped images and die-cuts. See it here.

    My card base is Very Vanilla with the following additional colors: Mossy Meadow, Petal Pink, Darling Duckling.

    Look at the airy Vanilla flower petal die-cuts above. They are not meant to match which I love!

    You cannot tell but there is a window sheet sandwiched between the top and bottom layers. It adds a bit of surprise to the card. The rounded leaf die-cut is cut from the new Wood Grain Wonders 12 X 12″ specialty paper seen here. It has a very faint wood grain to each sheet in all wood tones. I added a bit of Mossy Meadow ink to the one on the right above.

    I added designer paper to the inside layers as well; all from the Brushed with Beauty DSP seen here.
