Counting Sheep with the Give it a Whirl dies interactive card

August 23, 2021

We made this adorable card at my August card clubs this month. It features the new Counting Sheep & the Sheep dies from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.

Plus it's a view-master card! Remember those? The Give it a Whirl dies (seen here) on page 163 of the annual catalog are incredible! I was hesitant to even try using these dies because I thought it would be so complicated to figure out. But I was pleasantly surprised at how easy and intuitive they are to use. Stampin' Up! really did these up smart!

Please watch my video below to catch my quick tips for a successful view-master card.

The colors here are Pale Papaya, Balmy Blue, White, Crumb Cake & Granny Apple Green. We created a background using the Blending Brushes with Balmy Blue & Granny Apple Green ink.

***Heads up on the Sheep dies – Stampin' Up! has a limited supply of these and does expect to run out before Sale-a-Bration is over. So if you're wanting both the stamp set & dies, get the dies first!

Details:

Sheep dies include the fence, balloons and the sheep
Give it a Whirl dies – stitched view-master sponged layer, the scalloped circle, clouds, window & stars
I cut the scalloped circle piece from thick White CS since it would get a lot of activity
You will need brads & Stampin' Dimensionals for this card to work

I used light Petal Pink and Gray Granite blends to color the sheep.

And below is the video; this card is so fun!

Stitched So Sweetly & Positive Thoughts

January 13, 2020

Yesterday I shared one version of this card and here is the other. I had extra background pieces stamped so I tried something else.

Save

I used the same dies; but added the So Sentimental stamp set for the greeting above.

And here is the first version: Which do you prefer? This (above) or that (below)?

Here is the new So Sentimental bundle; my favorite bundle in the entire new catalog! See them here.

Sending Positive Thoughts; love this new stamp set!

January 10, 2020

This Positive Thoughts stamp set seems to be a 'sleeper' to some people but it caught my eye right away! Everyone asked where the stamp set was when they saw my cards.

Save

I knew I could make pretty cards with the images; the leaves, flower and feather are perfect with lots of fine details. But the greetings; they are some I will definitely get a lot of use of.

Save

This soft, botanical card is one I made for an online swap I participated in. I used Mint Macaron, Pretty Peacock and of course the pretty Petal Pink. The new champagne rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon was color inspiration.

I also used the new Stitched So Sweetly dies; my top pick in the entire new catalog! See them here.

Save

I'll share a second version of this card with you tomorrow.

Two ‘WOW’ technique cards with video

January 9, 2020
This week's Facebook Live video featured two 'over the top' technique cards. I uploaded it on YouTube so everyone could see it whether you're on Facebook or not. (scroll down to see the video)

If you are on FB be sure to follow my page so you catch each week's video on Tuesday's at 11 am CT. Here's the link to my page: www.facebook.com/flowerbugsinkspot

The left card is a shaker card; they're very special and interactive. And not hard at all! Using Window sheets and our Foam Adhesive strips sure make it easy! I used the following products: (click on each one)
The card on the right is stitched with our metallic thread; basically like string art. If you like to cross stitch you will like this fun technique. I timed it and it took me about 8 minutes to finish one heart.

The Heart Doilies make it super simple. I used these products on this card:
The greeting on the Valentine's card is from the Heart to Heart stamp set. I chose to order this one because it's not just for Valentine's Day but it does includes the greeting. That makes it very versatile to me.
