Easy Seriously the Best Diagonal Strips cards

May 27, 2020

I made these fun diagonal stripes cards on a recent Facebook Live. It's so simple to do!

I used one of my favorite stamp sets; Seriously the Best here. I love the pretty bold font! You can see it here. It also coordinates with the Seriously the Best cards kit; which is 60% off!

I chose to use the retiring 6 X 6" 2019-21 In Color paper pack. It's still available while supplies last and is sale right now here!

The strips are 1" long; you need about two of each at 1" X 6". Here's how to make it:

You'll need one piece of White CS measuring 4" X 5 1/4" to adhere the strips to.
Adhere two DSP strips across from end to end leaving a little space between the two. Tip: 6" is a little short so I cut the Peacock strip in half and separated it a bit under the greeting.
Now you'll add short lengths of DSP perpendicular to the first two strips, alternating colors and leaving a bit of space between them all.
Now you can trim off the excess even with the original White CS piece.
Adhere to your main card (5 1/2" X 8 1/2")

You might notice the cute little flowers on the greeting tags and that pretty, stitched die-cut. Well these are new products coming out in the upcoming new Stampin' Up! Annual catalog! The flowers are a new border punch and the dies are part of the Tasteful Label dies.

You can order these items on June 3rd! (or purchase the Stampin' Up! Starter kit and you can add them to your $125 in product!) Read about that here.

Mountain Air; a gorgeous scene

March 2, 2020

You might know that I love creating scenic cards. Even though my nickname is 'Flowerbug' that's because I am a gardener; not because I love flowers. I do! But when making cards I actually lean towards botanicals or scenes with trees and water. This card is a perfect example of my 'style' using the Mountain Air bundle seen here.

I created it on my Facebook Live two weeks ago. It's super easy to make! Here's a link to it on FB.

The colors here are Seaside Spray, Night of Navy and Whisper White. I did use one of the dies from the Mountain Air bundle; that pretty detailed tree. I also sponged the mountains and trees a bit then stamped the trees again upside down in White Craft ink for 'water'. The greeting is from the Well Said stamp set.

I love this set so much I am featuring it in March. Anyone who purchases the Mountain Air stamp set or bundle from me (past or in March) qualifies to receive the 10 cards project tutorial. And all online orders (of any amount) will also receive it!

Inlaid technique video with Mountain View!

February 28, 2020
This gorgeous card was one of our January Card Club projects. Of course I love the colors of Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green and Pretty Peacock.

I cased the idea from Cheryl Miller at Sense of Whimsy.

Here's how to make this pretty card.
1. First die-cut two trees from the main White panel one on the upper left and one on the lower right.
2. I sponged one of these die-cut white trees with Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple ink for the center tree.
3. Then die-cut two more trees from the Lily Impressions designer paper (free with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration).
4. Adhere the White panel to the Coastal Cabana panel and then to the main Green card base.
5. Insert the two die-cut trees into the left and right die-cut areas for an inlaid effect. (I recommend Fine Tip glue or Multipurpose adhesive)
6. There's a trick to getting this unique greeting shape with the Tailored Tag punch. I share it on the video below.
7. I used the Sending you Thoughts stamp set and heat embossed the greeting.
Watch the video below for many more tips on creating this fabulous card.

Over the Moon Fun-Fold card

February 27, 2020
My friend Marilyn made this card for a swap with her Card Club this month. Many of my Club gals swap cards every other month. They are loving this and actually 'using' their products!

It's made with the 'Over the Moon' stamp set seen here.

Isn't it cute? It's a fun fold card where the front panel swings open on the bottom.

The black spots look like patterned paper but they're stamped using the 'Love What You Do' stamp set seen here. Aren't they perfect?!!!
