Easy stack & cut layout with Regal Winter with free project sheet & video

This is one of the cards I shared on last week's Live video.  I chose to feature the beautiful Regal Winter suite seen here. It's new from our 2024 Holiday catalog by Stampin' Up!

Isn't the color combination pretty?  It's Blueberry Bushel with Wild Wheat & White.  It's interesting that I chose the color combo from the pretty Regal Winter designer series paper but afterwards I realized they are complimentary colors.  Check out pages 132-133 in the 2024-25 Annual Catalog. Blues & purple are complimentary colors with yellow hues. I explain how to do this this in my video seen here. 

If you have trouble combining colors together start with two main colors.  Using our designer papers as a starting point can make it quite easy. I tend to grab the card stock and hold them next to each other.  I can usually tell if they work well.  But if you can't try using our color wheel information on the pages above.

Isn't that double die-cut pretty?  It comes as one die but cuts the main and the outer frame all at once. Click here to see the Regal Flora bundle and here for the Regal Winter designer paper.

I stamped the leaf image in Wild Wheat and the blue flower is stamped & die-cut. Next I colored the white areas with a Wild Wheat Blends marker.  Love the golden highlights!

How did I cut the three pieces of designer paper for this card? I explain in the video below and in the tutorial above.  But basically you stack 3 pieces of designer paper measuring 3 3/4" X 5" and cut into 3 pieces. It's incredibly gorgeous designer paper!

As long as you cut them all together it does not matter where your cuts are. You'll get 3 card fronts from the pieces you'll get.  These are layered onto another 4" X 5 1/4" piece of card stock. 

Below is the video tutorial for this and one other card. I hope you watch it AND follow me on my YouTube channel too!

• Two background techniques on this pretty Kindest Expressions card

  July 10, 2023

  ---

  I made this card for our June Team swap; our theme was to create our own background.  I went a bit overboard but had a ton of fun making these!

  Save

  It features these products from our Annual Stampin' Up! catalog:

  1. Kindest Expressions stamp set
  2. Paper Florist dies
  3. Countryside Corners dies
  4. Blending Brushes
  5. Artistic Mix Decorative Masks
  6. Embossing paste Matte finish
  7. Adhesive-Backed sequins trio

  Whew!  And I didn't even list the ink and paper!  My colors include Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist and Basic White.

  • I used Berry Burst ink and a Blending Brush to create an ombre background on my Bubble Bath card stock. I let that dry overnight. 
  • I then used a mask over this to spread White Embossing Paste with a Palette knife.  Even though my ink was dry it picked up the color and created an ombre look on the paste too.  I let that dry for a few hours.
  • Add the greeting and the Paper Florist dies seen here.  I can tell that I'll be using these dies a lot.  They're wonderful and make a huge variety of flowers.

  I LOVE how they turned out.

  I'll be sharing my Flowerbug's Team swaps later this week.  Stay tuned!
