Decorative Borders & coloring vellum technique with video


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.  

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! 

Here's how I finished the inside of the card.

  • Wow Peace & Joy card!


    Look at this amazing card Jacki made for our Flowerbug's swap last month!  Count the layers!

    • Peace & Joy Bundle seen here
    • Brightly Gleaming Specialty DSP
    • Plush Poinsettia Specialty paper seen here
    • Snowflake Adhesive Backed sequins

    Aren't those Joy dies amazing? They include all 3 layers of the greeting.  It also includes the words Joy & Peace too.

  • Video with Stampin’ Up! Stitched Dies for some easy WOW cards!


    Look at these fun and unique cards made with the Stitched Triangle dies!  

    Aren't they neat?  Our Stitched dies are quite versatile and can be used in a variety of ways as you can see! 

    I used the Well Said stamp set, Well Written & Stitched Triangle dies.  The DSP is 5 1/4" X 4" and the Vellum ¾" X 4”

    These cards were created on last week's FB Live video.  If you're not following me yet here's the link to my FB page.  Be sure to like & follow so you catch them every week on Tuesdays at 11 am CT.  

    Check out the Stitched Rectangle cards below.  I cut all of the Playful Patterns Designer Paper layers at the same time using just 2 dies.  

    How did I do it?  Start out with a piece measuring 5 1/4" X 4" and choose the 3rd & 6th dies from the outside.  Perfect layers! 

    I then layered the Designer Paper with card stock and added a die-cut greeting from the Best Year stamp set. 

    Supplies & Measurements:

    • Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry, & Calypso Coral
    • Tasteful Label dies, Detailed Bands dies, rhinestones
    • DSP – 5 ¼” X 4”, and cut with dies at 3 ¾” X 3” & 3 1/8” X 1 ¾”
    • CS – 4 5/8” X 3 ¼” and 3 3/8” X 2”

  • Black Friday Special! (Through Sunday too)


    Do you normally shop on Black Friday?  Online or in the stores?  I have a feeling there will be a LOT more online shopping this year!  That's my plan anyway.   

    I thought I'd host my own Black Friday special this weekend; just in case you want/need any Stampin' Up! products.

    Be sure you consider your crafty friends or family when shopping.  Think card kits or Paper Pumpkin! Giving them some special projects to create while they stay at home is a thoughtful gift.

    I will choose the color unless you message me requesting a certain color. We have a limited supply of some colors. 

    If you want to purchase one or more they're available in my Shop here.  They are $6 each and shipping is about $3-4 in US.   They make great gifts for your stamping friends!

    Next weekend I'm having the last Christmas cards class on Saturday.  Here are the cards we're making: 

    It's all about the trees this time!  I realized after I grouped them together that each one features a tree.  

    Class is Saturday, December 5th at 10 am.  Class size is limited due to social distancing but there are two spots left. Message me if you'd like to come.  You can get the PDF tutorial for this class and the 3 others I had here at my Shop.
