NEW Everyday Details card with a unique Designer Paper layout with video tutorial

I joined quite a few online card swaps for the new 2024 Spring & Sale-a-Bration catalogs and today's post features one of them. 

Save

It features the Everyday Details bundle and the Poetic Expressions designer series paper. Both are in the upcoming 2024 Spring Catalog that goes live on January 4th.  The colors include Boho Blue & Misty Moonlight with White. 

There's a few special details I'd like to point out:

1. The designer paper triangle is originally a 4" square, cut in half. I added it to a textured layer (4" X 5 1/4")
2. The dotted circle die-cut is from the Everyday Details bundle; there are a variety of sizes in the set. It is adhered over a White stitched circle die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies. 
3. I stamped the cup image in Misty Moonlight ink. The flower is colored a soft white by using our Craft White ink and a Wink of Stella pen. I shared how to do this in the video here.  You can also use a Blender pen, a water pen or Watercolor Pencils.

Here's a close-up of this technique.

I thought I'd take a photo of all of the swaps before I mailed them out:

I hope you'll try this easy but unique card layout!

  I hope your weekend is going well!  Sunday's are pretty relaxing around here.  I work on blog posts for the week and also try to do some catch up work inside and out. 

   

  There are several things you need to know about June and the new Annual catalog so I thought I'd share.

  • The new Annual Stampin' Up catalog PDF can be found here. The Beginner Brochure can be found here. 

  • All orders over $250 will receive an extra $25 in Stampin' Rewards! If you don't plan on spending that much, consider combining your order with a friend or two and splitting the Stampin' Rewards! You can also host an online catalog party! This Stampin' Rewards deal is good through June 30, 2020.

  • If your order is close to $100, I highly encourage you to consider the Starter Kit. During June, you get a free BUNDLE of your choice in your kit! See the 2020-2021 Bundles here.  The Starter Kit is $99 and you get $125 in product of your choice, free shipping and the extra free bundle. So far four people have purchased it and joined my Flowerbug's Team; in less than a week! It's an awesome offer! Details on many of the benefits of buying the Starter Kit can be found here.

• Easy 8 Card Wonder template with Forever Fern in a kit to go!

  June 5, 2020

  ---

  I'm super excited about my newest One Sheet Wonder; I'm calling it the Easy 8 Card Wonder.  I've been doing a bunch of quick card layouts on my Monday night FB live's and have loved the comments on how simple and easy the cards have been.  People are actually making cards and building their stash AND sending them out too!  I LOVE hearing this!  

  So I wanted to create a simple card plan using our beautiful stamped images as the main focus of the cards.  

  Save

  The 8 Card Wonder features a template you print on neutral card stock and stamp on the other side.  Then just cut on the printed lines and assemble your cards like shown.  Here's the stamped 8 1/2" X 11" White card stock before I turned it over and cut on the printed lines. 

  The Forever Fern distinktive images in this stamp set are absolutely stunning!

  Save

  You can see part of the template under the cards here:

  For these cards I used Bermuda Bay, Gorgeous Grape, Old Olive and Pretty Peacock ink and card stock.

• Forever Fern card with video; quick & gorgeous!

  June 4, 2020

  Forever Fern is my absolute favorite stamp set in the new annual catalog so far.  The images are beautifully detailed and Distinktive!  That means that with one inking you get multiple hues of color on your stamped image.  Look at the detail and natural shading! See it here.

  Save

  I chose to use Pretty Peacock, Gorgeous Grape and Old Olive here.  That pretty die-cut is from the Tasteful Labels dies seen here.  

  If you want this stamp set you might wait to order it along with my newest 8 card wonder; it's included in the kit to go!  Click here to order.  Quantities are limited! More Details will be posted tomorrow!

  I hope you watch my quick video below to learn the tips to make a card like this.
