Marilyn made this pretty card with the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set (seen here) for one of our latest Flowerbug's Team swaps. I believe she found the idea on Pinterest. I love how it features 4 of our new In Colors!
The card base is Bumblebee. She added Black card stock and ink to pull the colors together. Here is a tip: stamp the sunflower on 4 different colored squares and then cut them into smaller squares. You'll get enough stamped pieces for 4 cards!
Measurements:
Bumblebee card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
White – 5 1/4" X 4"
Black 3 3/4" square
Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Cinnamon Cider and Bumblee – 3 1/2" squares for stamping. Then cut into 1 3/4" squares to puzzle piece on each card.

Easy stack & cut layout with Regal Winter with free project sheet & video
This is one of the cards I shared on last week's Live video. I chose to feature the beautiful Regal Winter suite seen here. It's new from our 2024 Holiday catalog by Stampin' Up!
Isn't the color combination pretty? It's Blueberry Bushel with Wild Wheat & White. It's interesting that I chose the color combo from the pretty Regal Winter designer series paper but afterwards I realized they are complimentary colors. Check out pages 132-133 in the 2024-25 Annual Catalog. Blues & purple are complimentary colors with yellow hues. I explain how to do this this in my video seen here.
If you have trouble combining colors together start with two main colors. Using our designer papers as a starting point can make it quite easy. I tend to grab the card stock and hold them next to each other. I can usually tell if they work well. But if you can't try using our color wheel information on the pages above.
I stamped the leaf image in Wild Wheat and the blue flower is stamped & die-cut. Next I colored the white areas with a Wild Wheat Blends marker. Love the golden highlights!
How did I cut the three pieces of designer paper for this card? I explain in the video below and in the tutorial above. But basically you stack 3 pieces of designer paper measuring 3 3/4" X 5" and cut into 3 pieces. It's incredibly gorgeous designer paper!
As long as you cut them all together it does not matter where your cuts are. You'll get 3 card fronts from the pieces you'll get. These are layered onto another 4" X 5 1/4" piece of card stock.
Below is the video tutorial for this and one other card. I hope you watch it AND follow me on my YouTube channel too!
