Check out these Just Kiddin’ Suite cards by our Artist of the Month!


Today I'm sharing multiple cards made by Marla – our February Artist of the Month on my Flowerbug's Team.  She chose to feature the Just Kiddin' suite seen here.

This card was cased from Lisa Curcio and is called a 3 tiered easel card.  It's a neat fun fold card.   

The front two panels are folded down in the photo above so you can see the back panel of the 3 tiers. Very clever!  

She used one of the scenes in the DSP for her background and added the girl, ball, pennants, stool and greeting!

This is a mini slimline card. I believe she stamped the pillows but the rest are cut from the DSP or die-cut with the dies in the bundle. 

Here she added the kids, a greeting and the 'block' castle to the Just Kiddin' DSP scene. 

ON the card above she scored the back of her card base in half (2 3/4") and added the scene and the greeting strip in front with extra scored ends that create a curved element. That pretty purple glimmer paper is from our Online Exclusives.  So cool! 

This scene is made with the dies in the Just Kiddin' bundle seen here and of course the little girl (fussy cut) from the DSP. 

Adding the kids with Dimensionals completes the scene. I love how she let the Just Kiddin' DSP do the work of the background!


This gatefold card opens up to reveal a full scene! Don't yo love the little baby peeking out!?

The greeting is on one layer and the kits are on another layer; both have a double score line that makes them pop up slightly. 

 

Didn't she do an incredible job showcasing the Just Kiddin' suite?!  Great job Marla!!

  • Poppin’ Pastels Technique with Delicate Dahlia


    If you've been a stamper for awhile you've likely played with chalks and the Poppin' Pastel technique.  If not, check this out!  

    You'll need just a few supplies – Chalks, Versamark ink and sponge daubers. Well, card stock too! 

    Tip – choose a solid image with a full surface.  Outline images won't work as well here. 

    Here's how it's done:

    1. Ink your image in Versamark ink and stamp on card stock. 
    2. Dab your sponge dauber in chalk (if it's firm like our new Soft Pastels you may need to scrape some off & use the dust *watch the video below).
    3. Dab over your stamped image repeatedly. Do not rub on the outer edges or it may show outside of your stamped area. 
    4. Blow or dust off excess chalk.  Done!  

    Here's the video:

  • Easy Explosion card video tutorial with Penguin Playmates Designer Paper!


    On last Tuesday's FB Live I shared three unique fun fold cards featuring the Penguin Place bundle and the Penguin Palace designer paper.  *Follow me on Facebook here. 

    Today I'm focusing on the Explosion card. It sure looks complicated but it's just a few score lines on a 4 X 8" piece of DSP. 

    As you can see, it's not a Christmas card.  This bundle and designer paper works well for multiple occasions.  

    The colors are Fresh Freesia, Black, White & Balmy Blue which coordinate with the adorable Penguin Playmates DSP seen here.  This paper is free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion with any $50 order.

    See that cute penguin?  It's punched out with the Penguin punch; right from the designer paper!  

    DSP Explosion card

    • Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½”, scored at 2 1/8” from each side
    • White inside square 2 ½”, Balmy Blue layer 2 ¾”
    • DSP 4” X 8” score at 2”, 4” & 6”, then in two ‘X’s’ from midpoint score to the outside corners
    • Belly Band 1 ½” X 9”

    Here's the video; I actually show three unique fun fold cards!

  • Feels Like Home Sale-a-Bration swaps


    We had our monthly Flowerbug's Team meeting this weekend and as usual swapped cards.  This month we chose a Sale-a-Bration theme.  Here are two pretty cards I am sure you'll love.  

    The first is made by Tracey.  She used the Feels Like Home stamp set and a monochromatic look with Cinnamon Cider. I love the fact that you do not have to color this set in.  It's beautiful stamped in one color!  See this stamp set here. 

    It's such a rich color! She added tons of texture & details to this card  including the torn edges.  

    Details:

    • Stacked Stone background stamp
    • One ink – Cinnamon Cider
    • Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder
    • Greeting tag die-cut from the In Bloom dies
    • Champagne rhinestones


    This next card is made by me in Black, Cherry Cobbler & White.  


    I stamped the image in Black Memento ink and colored in just the door with Cherry Cobbler blends markers.  It adds that fun pop of color.  It's also less time consuming than coloring the entire image.  

    Other details: Silver metallic pearls, heat embossed image punched out with the Double Oval punch.

    I added a 2" strip of the Beautifully Penned designer paper on the left.  I do love Black & White paper!

    This paper is also a free choice during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  You can see it here.
