Dainty Flowers cards with time saving tips!

I made this pretty card in just a few minutes with 1/8 of a 12 X 12" piece of the Dainty Flowers designer paper.  That means you can get 8 cards from each sheet! 

Save

I made the first cut across at 5 1/2".  Then cut each piece at 3" wide.  This gorgeous print is just one of many in this pack.  It's free with any $50 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion from January 5th – February 28th.  See it here.

If you don't have the ribbon color you want, color it with a Blends marker.  Our Blends markers come in a 2-pack of light and dark; try both to see which one fits your needs.  And did you know that if you go over it more than once you can get a darker shade?  This works on both paper AND ribbon!

If you're making multiples of the same card AND heat embossing why not stamp & heat emboss multiples at the same time?  

Save

I inked the greetings (from Dainty Delight) in Versamark ink and stamped on the Old Olive CS. Then covered in White embossing powder before heat embossing with the Heat Tool.  Now I could trim them into strips for my cards.  

Tip; you cannot do an entire page at once or the ink dries before you can get powder on it.  I did 4-5 at a time and it works fine.  It all depends on how fast you can cover it with powder.  

**Before stamping I swiped my card stock with the embossing buddy. This is an anti-static bag that prevents excess powder from sticking where you don't want it.  The embossing buddy is included in our Embossing Additions Tool Kit seen here.

  She searched for a tutorial and actually found one I did last year!  She added a box for a pack of post-it notes too!  

  She used the Pattern Party host paper seen here or on page 171 of our Annual catalog.  I always encourage my hostesses to choose this paper; it's the BEST deal! It's valued at $30 but hostesses can choose it for just $18 as part of their hostess benefits. Tip: Everyone earns free benefits on orders over $150; even Demonstrators!

• Rainbow of Happiness shaker card with video tutorial

  January 28, 2022

  Did you know you get a free $50 shopping spree when you place online orders with me?  It's true!  

  I love to give these sprees to my online or local shoppers.  If you never knew about this and have shopped with me in the past you can redeem your spree too!

  I played with the Rainbow of Happiness bundle on Facebook Live earlier this week.  Here's a neat shaker card I made: 

  Save

  Shaker cards look difficult but they're fun AND easy!  Watch the video below to see how it's done.

  The Rainbow of Happiness bundle is 10% off in our Spring catalog.  See it here.  I just noticed it's on low inventory. That means when they run our it will not be available again until the product is restocked. That Global Shipping issue you know!!

  It's hard to see in the photo above but the paper inside the shaker is our Rainbow Glimmer specialty paper from the annual catalog.  I share a neat trick to get these rainbow die-cuts in place in the video below or click here. 

  Here's a close up of another:

  Here are some details:

  • The large rainbow is made with the Brilliant Rainbow dies – it's part of the Rainbow of Happiness bundle. 
  • The small clouds are die-cut from our Supple Shimmer paper & the Rainbow dies
  • The sequins & beads in the shaker are from the Sparkle & Shine sequins
  • I used our Foam Adhesive strips on the back side of the White die-cut piece to raise it and keep the shaker pieces in place.
  • The large clouds are punched with our new Cloud Punch. One is punched from the Sunshine & Rainbows free DSP during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. See it here.

  The card above on the left has a cloud bank made with our Border Basic dies and our new Supple Shimmer paper.  Stampin' Up! is terrific at coordinating their products so incredibly.  

  The shaker card is the first project I make in the video below. Click on it to watch!

• Grassy Grove dies make amazing cards quickly! Video too!

  January 27, 2022

  ---

  I was inspired to use the Grassy Grove bundle for a January card club project because of this card made by Deloris; one of my Flowerbug's Team members. 

  Save

  See what I mean?  It's striking & stunning!  She used Blackberry Bliss and that background is the amazing New Horizon 6 X 6" DSP seen here. Her greeting is stamped on a stitched rectangle die-cut on Fresh Freesia CS.

  Save

  I changed the colors but still kept the large die-cut and the pretty paper the star of the card.  

  Save

  The die-cut is Black, cut at 5 1/8" X 3 7/8".  The New Horizons paper is cut just a hair smaller.  We simply added two of the deer in the Grassy Grove dies and a greeting on an Oval punched piece. 

  Scroll down to see the video I made or click here. 

  The card bases were either Soft Succulent or Misty Moonlight as that coordinated with most of the designer paper scenes.  

  Save

  Here is what the inside looks like.  We stamped the trees in the Grassy Grove stamp set in Black and added a greeting. This greeting is part of the Special Moments stamp set seen here (free during our Sale-a-Bration promo now)

  Save

  Here are three of the cards all together.  See how the New Horizons designer paper can change the background scene so easily?  Everyone thought these made perfect masculine cards and sympathy cards as well.

  Below is the quick video; click on the photo to watch it.
