Fast but fabulous Flowing Flowers card kit to go with my Easy 8 Card Wonder template


I created these pretty cards on last week's FB Live.  I used the Flowing Flowers stamp set in a unique set of colors.

This stamp set was one of my top picks in the Spring catalog.  Not just because it's flowers, but because of the Distinktive images and pretty greetings.  Look!

Here's a link to the live video where I made a totally different set of cards using the same OSW template. I created it a few years ago and love trying it with different stamp sets.  I find it's a fabulous way to get beautiful cards made quickly without a lot of measuring. 

**Did you know that my Team members get all of my tutorials free? They receive every single one I make – at least 3-5 a month! We met on Sunday night via Zoom and many of us used the Easy 8 Card Wonder to make our cards. So fun to visit while we stamped!!  Ask me about the Starter Kit deal & joining my Flowerbug's Team. 

Here is the 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of basic White card stock that I stamped using the images in the Flowing Flowers stamp set. 

I did do a little 'surgery' on one of the stamps (seen the flower in the first photo above).  I cut the leaves and the spatter part away from the main flower so I could stamp them in different colors.  I know I'll use this stamp so much more this way.  I used our Paper Snips to do it.  I encourage you to try this on your stamps; it's scary but so worth it! 

Here is one of the cards made with my template. *These three pieces were cut on the printed lines on the reverse side. No measuring!!  

You have a few choices if you want to make cards like these:

  • Get the template & PDF tutorial here in my Shop.  It's called the Easy 8 Card Wonder and includes directions for 4 different sets of cards & color combos.  $15 *Click here to see my other OSW's. Plus once you purchase it, you will get an email every time I update the tutorial with new color combos & stamp sets! 
  • Reserve a pre-cut kit to go by Feb 15th.  Contact me here.  I'll send you a PayPal invoice for it all. The kits are sent out at the end of February via Priority Mail. It's $46 with shipping.

The Kit to go includes:

  • the Flowing Flowers 9 piece stamp set
  • a printed template on 8 1/2" X 11" Basic White CS
  • pre-cut & punched pieces for all 8 cards
  • the free PDF tutorial sent in an email  
  • You will need your own ink (I used Navy, Daffodil, Bermuda Bay & Coastal Cabana), adhesives & gems. 

You can see the video here where I show how the template is used.  I created a different group of cards using this Easy 8 Card Wonder template.

  • Love of Leaves; make one cut and get two cards!


    Last week I shared a card featuring the Love of Leaves bundle.  *You can see it below.  Now I'm sharing the other card I made with the inside of the die-cut.  Cut once and make two cards using these stitched leaf dies! 

    The Love of Leaves bundle is going to be a big favorite this fall!  See it here. 

    Details

    • The die-cut is Soft Suede and the card base is Cajun Craze. 
    • The Pretty Peacock designer paper is from the new Magic in the Night Halloween Designer Series paper seen here!  As you can see, it's not just for Halloween!  
    • I also used the new Celebration Label dies seen here; I love the stitched shape of these!  
    • The stamped leaves image is created with the Life is Beautiful stamp set.

    Below you'll see the other card I made with the outside or window when I cut the leaf above.

  • Life is Beautiful with a beautiful masked & sponged window technique!


    I like to join many online card swaps in groups with friends from all over the country; especially when new catalogs come out. 

    Here is a swap I made with my Life is Beautiful stamp set; the set I helped create as a Million Dollar Achiever with Stampin' Up!  I achieved this over a year ago but the stamp set just came out this month.  You can order it now here. 

    I chose to use Bermuda Bay, Early Espresso and Very Vanilla card stock. The inks are Bermuda Bay, Early Espresso and Calypso Coral.  I absolutely LOVE creating masked windows! Sponging is a learned art and I have some great tips for you.  I shared this card on Facebook Live Tuesday, August 11th and uploaded the video to YouTube below.  

    This card is one I am so pleased with.  It shows off the pretty images included in the set so perfectly. 

    Do you make doubles or more of your favorite cards?  I actually really like making multiples of the same card.  But when you're doing a time consuming technique like this one it can little 'old'!  However, using the Stamparatus when making multiple cards is the ONLY way to go!  It sure makes quick work of making many of the same card.  I don't usually like to show my 'messy desk' pictures but you can see what happens to my desk area when I'm working! It gets smaller and so crowded! Ha!


    Watch the video below for step by step tutorial on making this pretty card.  Plus I share tons of card ideas for this pretty and versatile stamp set!

  • Life is Beautiful swap with Love of Leaves dies


    Here's another card I made for an online card swap I joined in July.  I have been having so much fun playing with my Life is Beautiful stamp set!  

    The colors are Bermuda Bay, Early Espresso and Pumpkin Pie; one of my favorite color combo's for Fall.  I added some sponging and a pretty die-cut from the Ornate Frames die seen here.  The Linen thread behind the greeting is simply a big bow. 

    This card is included in my August card kit to go.  The kit includes the Life is Beautiful stamp set AND an 8 cards pre-cut kit. You have through August 20th to get this kit and the pdf tutorial is also included. It's just $28; a steal for a stamp set AND cards kit!   Read all about it here.

    Did you notice the stitching on the bottom of this card?  That's done with the Love of Leaves dies seen here:
