Decorative Borders & coloring vellum technique with video

March 16, 2023

Last month our Flowerbug's Team swap theme was to use vellum or window sheets. Here's what I came up with featuring the Decorative Borders stamp set seen here.

Save

I heat embossed the image twice with black embossing folder in two corners. This is on vellum card stock. After it was set I colored in the images with Blends markers – Polished Pink, Granny Apple Green and Old Olive. The corner image is small but it still took a bit of time to do them all. I colored on the back side; no real reason except it's a little more forgiving.

The greeting die-cut is from the Potted Succulents dies; the heat embossed image is from Color & Contour stamp set in the Annual Catalog.

My measurements are:

Card base 5 1/2" X 6 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
Printed vellum 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
Vellum card stock 3 1/4" X 4 1/8"
White front 3 1/2" X 4 1/2" , inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
Black 3 3/4" X 4 3/4"

Below is a photo of the pretty Decorative Borders stamp set. There are so many ways you might use this set; I share a few more in the video below. It would be perfect to decorate your envelopes too!

This week I've been sharing cards made with this beautiful Flower & Field DSP; it's free with any $50 order in February during Sale-a-Bration. See it here.

I created a colorful group of cards for my new Team members last week. I had a bunch of random pieces in the pack of Designer Paper and I decided to challenge myself to use mostly extras & just create!

Look at the fun colors and layouts! I grabbed my bags of scraps and a pile of White CS strips and just played. Have you ever done this?

This Flower & Field DSP (seen here) has so many different color combos in it; all with a Black background. Honestly at first I wasn't sure I liked it. However I love to accent with black; it seems to make a card stand out beautifully. Looking at these cards now I just love i

This Designer Paper is free with any $50 order this month. But it ends February 28th! Plus you never know if they could run out. So don't wait!

If you have a nice size wish list I hope you'll consider purchasing the Stampin' Up! Starter kit. It is such a great deal and no one on my Team has ever regretted it! In fact most say they wish they'd done it sooner!

Field & Flower Mystery Card

February 10, 2021

I am holding a mystery card challenge with me Team. I send them a variety of pieces in a card base and challenge them to use them to create a card. They can cut up or punch, or add anything to create an original card.

This week I'm sharing a few projects with the pretty Field & Flower DSP (seen here) from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. It's currently free with any $50 order US.

Here is what I came up with for my Mystery card:

In their packet I added a White card base, a large piece of Flower & Field designer series paper, a strip of Bumblebee CS, punched Black & white pieces and some Bumblebee ribbon. I decided to add a few stitched flowers from the Pierced Bloom dies (seen here). Look at this amazing stitching!

Save

The Black center is from the Perennial Petal dies (seen here) however. I love that cute die! The greeting is from the Happy Thoughts stamp set.

To create this angled piece I started with a 4" X 4 1/4" piece of designer paper and just cut it in half on the diagonal. It really doesn't matter what your angle is. Then I added a strip of Bumblebee CS underneath the diagonal cut. So easy!
