Circle Celebration Easy 8 Card Wonder Kit to Go!

As you know I love creating One Sheet Wonders.  I have created lots of them in the years I've been a demonstrator.  I create the cards and my husband makes the templates.  You can see them all here in my Shop.  

For these cards I used my Easy 8 Card Wonder template and the Circle Celebration stamp set.  You can see the stamp set here.

The colors are Poppy Parade, Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay and Daffodil Delight.  I wanted them to be bright and happy celebratory cards. I think I succeeded! 

For the greetings I used the stamp sets Many Mates & Itty Bitty Birthdays but you can easily substitute what you own. 

Here's a look at how I made the main 'wonder' piece.  I used slightly different colors on this sheet, but it gives you the idea.

I stamped all over a sheet of 8 1/2" X 11" White card stock; the printed template is on the reverse side.  After stamping I flip it over and cut on the printed lines. Each piece is numbered so I know which one goes with which card in the tutorial.  The PDF tutorial includes measurements for other pieces needed. 

You can purchase the PDF tutorial here.

There is also a kit to go option for $28.  It includes the following:

• Circle Celebration photopolymer stamp set
• 8 pre-cut cards including layers, punched and die-cut pieces
• The printed 8 1/2" X 11" White card stock
• The complete PDF sent via email

*You will need the inks in the colors stated above (or similar colors), a paper trimmer and adhesive. The kit does not include stamped images, gems or ribbon.

If you want the pre-cut kit to go contact me at lagreff60@gmail.com. I cannot give a link to purchase here due to SU regulations. 

I have two kits to go this month; see the other one here.  Opt in for both and save on shipping!

• Reflection Technique with Mountain Air

  March 25, 2020

  ---

  I honestly didn't know I'd enjoy creating with the Mountain Air bundle as much as I do.  I didn't think it would be so easy to work with!  

  Even this reflection technique is simple to create.  Do you know why?  Because of the reversible nature of these stamps.  The mountain image is textured on one side, creating the pretty mountain peaks on this card.  The mountain shadow/reflection on the water is made with the same stamp but using the solid side.

  This card is part of my free written projects tutorial for anyone who placed an online order from me in March.  And it's also free to anyone who orders the Mountain Air bundle too!  You can see this bundle here. 

  If you order it in March you can get a free Sale-a-Bration choice! Below I show each stamp in three ways.  First is the detailed side of the stamp, next is the flat side and lastly you see them together.  Reversible stamps are so neat and Stampin' Up! is super clever to create them!

  Details for the card above:

  1.  I stamped the mountains first, then the trees underneath. 
  2.  I turned the trees stamp upside down and without reinking, stamped them again for a reflection. 
  3.  Next the mountain reflection. 
  4.  Lastly I sponged a bit of light blue on the sky and darker blue for water.  
  5. The greetings are from the Well Written dies and Well Said stamp set. 
  6. Colors are Mossy Meadow, Pacific Point and Smoky Slate

• Well Dressed; a great manly stamp set!

  March 24, 2020

  ---

  How are you all doing?  Staying home and safe; if you can?  I know some people have to work and those of us who are not really appreciate you!  I feel for you!  It's a scary world out there right now.  Hopefully a little craft therapy will help you stay in a positive state of mind. It's a unique situation that we've never dealt with before.  We're just not used to being restricted!  

  Here's a cute card perfect for the men in our lives.  It's made with the new Well Dressed stamp set seen here in the 2nd release of Sale-a-Bration products. 

  Save

  I believe it's Smoky Slate with Basic Gray and a pop of Crushed Curry and Pool Party.  The images are all stamped on die-cut Stitched Rectangles.  Behind those is a piece of Neutrals designer paper.  I've been featuring this paper the last few days since I know many people haven't noticed it in our annual catalog. We have patterns in every single color we carry in 6 X 6" packs!  

  You can see them all here.
