Check out the Last of the July Team swaps


Today I'm sharing the last of our July Team swap cards. Our theme was thank you cards without flowers. 

Jackie made this special fun fold card that has a gift card option: 

It's held together with a belly band with a greeting attached. She used the Bright & Beautiful designer paper – it carried over from last year's annual catalog and can be seen online here. 

Products used:

  • Her greeting is from the Layering Leaves set
  • Greeting dies are from Something Fancy seen here
  • The texture is from the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder seen here

The front right flap folds back and is secured at the top and bottom leaving space to add a gift card or money if you'd like. 

Measurements:

  • Blueberry Bushel card base 11" X 5 1/2" scored at 1 1/4", 5 1/2", 9 1/4"
  • Designer paper left front & inside panels 1" X 5 1/4", right front panel is 1 1/2" X 5 1/4"
  • White inside 3 5/8" X 5", textured right panel 3 1/4" X 5"
  • Black inside 4" X 5 1/4"
  • Belly band 7 1/2" X 3/4"

Ginny made this cute card with the A Little Latte designer paper

Her colors include Calypso Coral and Pecan Pie. She cased this card from Karen Ksenzahovie from Creative Stamping Designs. I like the little details of the three DSP strips under the coffee cups. Her greeting is heat embossed in White.

Mary also featured the A Little Latte designer paper and the Latte Love bundle.  These products can be seen online here. 

Her colors include Pecan Pie with Lost Lagoon and White.  She trimmed off an inch from the left front to reveal the cute trio of die-cut coffee cups inside.  Cute detail! 

Thanks for hanging in with us to see all of the July Team swaps!

  • Blossoms in Bloom; another pretty cards duo


    Today I have a pair of cards made with the 'Split Technique'. This is where you stamp or die-cut once to get two cards.  

    I used the Blossoms in Bloom bundle seen here, cutting out two sets of floral dies. I'm sharing lots of projects featuring this incredible bundle this week. 

    I sponged the thicker die-cut with Highland Heather, Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay.  Then I adhered the thin die-cut over the sponged one using liquid multipurpose adhesive.  Next I cut the full, layered die-cut in half so I could place each half on a card.

    What do you think of this color combination?  I like to find unique combinations when I play with Stampin' Up!'s gorgeous variety of colors.  

    The Many Layered Blossoms dies includes two large dies and several smaller flowers.  The two large dies include both a finely cut and a thicker blossom die for effortless layering.  I cut out once of each; both from Whisper White card stock. 


    The Highland Heather layer is textured with the new Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.  It's very subtle and gives a delicate textile pattern. 

    The greeting die-cut banner is from the Tasteful Labels dies; stamped in Bermuda Bay ink.

  • Forever Fern video; an easy trio of gorgeous cards


    I can't stop playing with the Forever Fern stamp set!  It's so easy to make beautiful cards with and with some of my favorite 'go to' color combos.

    If you like this set of cards check out another stunning set here; it has a kit to go option while supplies last! And a project tutorial available here. 

    I made these cards and recorded it on video so you could see how fast they can be.  There are three different card layouts all using the same three colors.  Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape and Bermuda Bay inks with these same card stock colors plus Coastal Cabana and Whisper White.  

    The White greeting die is from the Tasteful Labels dies.  I hand cut the larger one. 

    Measurements for this card:

    • Granny Apple Green 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base
    • Gorgeous  Grape  3 3/4" X 5"
    • Whisper White 3 pieces at 3 1/2" X 1 1/2"

    I used a masking & sponging technique here and added a die-cut from the Flourishing Fern dies too.

    Measurements:

    • Coastal Cabana card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • White 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
    • Gorgeous Grape 3 5/8" X 4 7/8"

    A simple card base of Gorgeous Grape 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" and White at 5 1/4" X 4".  Did you catch that I sponged the corner of the left one?  Which do you prefer?

  • Flowers for Every Season


    The Flowers for Every Season paper pack is the only 6 X 6" papers in the new Stampin' Up! Annual catalog.  Many people love the 6 X 6" papers; they find them easier to cut into for some reason.  

    I decided to use them for last week Monday night's Stamp with Me video.  Here's a link to it on Facebook. 

    This is one of my favorite I made so far with this paper; I love the new Misty Moonlight in color.  Paired with Night of Navy and White is quite striking in my opinion.  Monochrome cards can be so soothing! 

    I also used the Small Bloom punch, 2020-22 In Color Enamel Dots and the Pick a Punch. 

    Measurements:

    • Card Base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
      DSP 3 1/2" square and 1" X 3 1/2"
      CS layer 5" X 3 3/4"
      CS strip; textured 3/4" X 4 1/4"
      Greeting banner/punch

    Join me here on Monday evenings at 7:30 pm CT for Stamp with Me FB Lives and you'll get a ton of ideas and maybe even make a nice group of cards right along with me.
