Soft Seedlings with the new Sale-a-Bration cards & envelopes


On yesterday's FB Live I shared 3 cards featuring the new Soft Seedlings stamp set.  The first two featured the new FREE Sale-a-Bration cards & envelopes too.  

These Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam cards & envelopes are a free choice from our new Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here.  I love SAB when we can all get something free with our orders!  Spend a minimum of $50 and pick something absolutely free!  

These cards & envelopes are one of my top picks in the catalog. You can use them for lots of cards in the future! 

The package includes 20 envelopes and 10 each of Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam card bases.  Today's project features the Soft Sea Foam card base. 

You might wonder how I achieved the two-toned look of the leaf. I stamped it first in Soft Sea Foam and removed a bit of the ink on the edges with a sponge dauber.  Then I added Pool Party ink to those same areas. Huff and stamp!   Watch the video here to see how it's done. 

There is a vellum leaf on the stamped leaf for both texture and shimmer.  I sponged the punched leaf (Bough punch), sponged a bit of color and curled the leaves.  Lastly I added Wink of Stella to both leaves for a pretty shimmer effect.  

I trimmed off 1" along the bottom edge of the card base and adhered it to the inside. 

Then I cut a white scalloped edge using the Contour Scalloped dies.  I textured the 1 1/4" Pool Party card stock strip with the Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder seen here.  I LOVE this folder!  I attached the embossed layer to the scalloped White trim and then adhered to the card front.

The 'hello' is stamped on a die-cut from the Tea Cup dies and added over two bows; one with Crinkled Seam Binding ribbon and another with White twine.  

Click on the video below to watch how it's made along with two other cards using this stamp set.

    Annette made this pretty card using the Peaceful Place DSP and the Delightful Tag Topper punch to connect the two halves. A beautiful monochrome card in grays & silver. 

    Tammi brought this neat fun fold card.  It was her first swap and she did an amazing job!

    She used the Whimsical Trees stamp set & Whimsy & Wonder DSP in Mint Macaron, Polished Pink & White with the pretty Iridescent snowflakes too.

  • More fabulous Flowerbug’s Christmas cards


    I shared some of my Team Christmas card swaps yesterday here.  And today there's more beauties; all made with stamps from the 2021 Holiday Stampin' Up! catalog.

    this first card was made by Candy using the Reflected in Nature stamp set & Welcoming Woods.  I LOVE her colors of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, White & Smoky Slate.  A gorgeous card!

    Next is a super neat fun-fold window card made by Candace.  She used the Penguin Place bundle in Navy, Coastal Cabana, White & Black. The penguins are extra special punched from Black glimmer paper. 

    At first glance it looks like a regular card front.  But wait…. look!

    She cut a window on the front using our Stitched Rectangle dies revealing the cute penguin layer inside.  They're actually attached to a second card base inside that flips down. 

    She used the Whimsy dies to add a stitched border to each inside layer. Love this detail. 

    Isn't it cool?!  

    Measurements:

    • Navy card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
    • Coastal Cabana inside card base 5 1/4" X 8" scored at 4"
    • White pieces 4 3/8" X 2 7/8", Navy layer is also 4 3/8" X 2 7/8" inside

    Barb made this unique card using the Be Jolly stamp set.  Her colors are Misty Moonlight, Red & White.  

    She heat embossed the stars on the front layer with White embossing powder. She also sponged the edge.  She used our Layering Circle dies for her Santa.  But look how it flips open to reveal a greeting!

    Such a fun surprise and it's just a 1/2" flap hidden under the front layers.  So smart! 

    Here's the inside view: 

    I love sharing what my Flowerbug's Team make; they're fabulous stampers!
