Eden’s Garden & Forever Fern; a fun way to use the Picture This dies

April 6, 2023

Monday evening I created projects with the Forever Fern bundle for my weekly Tuesday Facebook Live. But by the next morning the Forever Fern stamp set was sold out; gone. So I had to switch gears a bit and decided to substitute Forever Fern with Eden's Garden. I think it turned out lovely!

Save

See the Eden's Garden set here. It was $22 and is now just $9.20, while supplies last.

Save

There are dies to match called the Eden dies seen here. They were $35 and are now just $14.

Save

I used all retiring inks and card stock – Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzleberry & Pear Pizzazz. I had to focus on my Bermuda Bay; I'll sure miss this color! The card stock, ink and refill are already sold out.

I wanted to feature the Picture This dies too; I honestly love these dies and use both the full windows die-cut and the stitched label pieces left over. Each side is stitched! They're perfect for greeting labels. This 2 piece set of dies is now $27.20; it was $34. See them here.

Measurements:

Bermuda Bay card base 8 ½” X 5"
White die-cut piece is 3 ¾” X 5”, White stamped piece is 3 5/8" X 4 7/8"
Rich Razzleberry 3 7/8” X 5 1/8”

Below you can see the Forever Fern card on the left and the Eden's Garden card on the right.

I think the color combination is beautiful. I'll sure miss these colors!

Below are the three cards I shared on the video. I think the Forever Fern stamp set is one of the most gorgeous set of stamps Stampin' Up! has ever made. The distinktive quality of the images gives a true multi-hued effect; it's my very favorite type of stamp. I'm sorry it retired and that it's already sold out. You can get it in French still…..

Look at this incredible Lazy Days card swap!

May 23, 2023

I was blown away by the card swap Paula made for our Flowerbug's Team swap in May. Check it out…..

Save
See what I mean? The scene she created is so real & life-like! This card features the new Lazy Days bundle seen here. And she used many of the stamps & dies in the bundle. I counted them – 9 stamps or dies!

Here's a photo of the bundle she used: Lazy Days seen here.

I think her soft colors set the tone for a real porch scene. That rug, lattice, fence and sponged sun – well just everything works! I'm so very proud of her talent. AMAZING!

Her background is white but she lightly blended blue ink for the sky and likely crumb cake for the porch.

What do you think? I think it's incredible well done.

New Inked & Tiled in a Book Binding Easel fun fold card; video tutorial & measurements too!

May 22, 2023
I'm just a little bit in love with this special fun fold layout! I've made three versions of it this month….

Save

I featured two new colors in our Stampin' Up! catalog – Boho Blue & Pebbled Path with returning Misty Moonlight & White.

I hope you watch the video here or below to see how to make this neat card. It's so much easier than it looks!

I knew this stamp set would be fun to play with. The greetings are wonderful and of course the botanical images are beautiful!

Save

Details:
- I stamped the large leaf repeatedly onto the Boho Blue layers using Versamark ink. I let it dry and then textured it with the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder. I love this new folder!!
- How did I get the two-tone colors on my flowers? I used both an ink pad and markers. I inked the flowers first in Boho Blue. Then I colored the stems using a Pebbled Path Stampin' Write marker. Huff and stamp! Why huff? Huffing with your moist breath re-moistens the ink on your stamp. This can be especially helpful with solid type stamps.
- After stamping I used the same Pebbled Path marker to add more detail to the base of each flower.
- For an easel card you need something to hold it open. I stamped the flower in the set onto a piece of Boho Blue and punched it out with the Petal Park Builder punch. I curled and distressed the petals and added it with a few Mini Dimensionals.
The card does lay flat for mailing.

I added a looped piece of the 2023-25 In Color Jute trim under my punched Oval greeting. I did sponge a bit of Boho Blue on the edges first.

In the video I share two other beautiful cards made with the Inked & Tiled stamp set. I made two of them for swaps on the Stampin' Up! incentive trip I'm on right now! A Norwegian cruise!
