Fragrant Forest & Countryside Corners in a fun fold layout with video

December 15, 2023

I've been sharing my Fragrant Forest projects from last week's Live; this is the third one. I have a video below to watch plus free project sheets for each card too. See this stamp set here.

I chose a simple color combo of White & Pretty Peacock. The designer paper on the upper flap is the Hello, Irresistible from our Online Exclusives line.

The die-cuts are the Countryside Corners from the Annual catalog; seen here. Can you see the raised lines on the inside white? I used my Simply Scored 1/4" from each edge.

I couldn't decide if I like the clean look of the card on the lower right or the added forest on the lower left card. Which do you prefer?

Here's the inside view of the upper left card. I used the Lasting Joy stamp set for my greeting and sentiments. I find I'm reaching for this one often. See it here.

You might wonder just how I achieved inking only the bottom half of this stamp on the inside of the left card above. Watch the video here.

I cut my stamp apart!

Blossoms in Bloom; another pretty cards duo

June 15, 2020

Today I have a pair of cards made with the 'Split Technique'. This is where you stamp or die-cut once to get two cards.

I used the Blossoms in Bloom bundle seen here, cutting out two sets of floral dies. I'm sharing lots of projects featuring this incredible bundle this week.

Save

I sponged the thicker die-cut with Highland Heather, Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay. Then I adhered the thin die-cut over the sponged one using liquid multipurpose adhesive. Next I cut the full, layered die-cut in half so I could place each half on a card.

What do you think of this color combination? I like to find unique combinations when I play with Stampin' Up!'s gorgeous variety of colors.

The Many Layered Blossoms dies includes two large dies and several smaller flowers. The two large dies include both a finely cut and a thicker blossom die for effortless layering. I cut out once of each; both from Whisper White card stock.

Save

The Highland Heather layer is textured with the new Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. It's very subtle and gives a delicate textile pattern.

Save

The greeting die-cut banner is from the Tasteful Labels dies; stamped in Bermuda Bay ink.

Flowers for Every Season

June 11, 2020
The Flowers for Every Season paper pack is the only 6 X 6" papers in the new Stampin' Up! Annual catalog. Many people love the 6 X 6" papers; they find them easier to cut into for some reason.

I decided to use them for last week Monday night's Stamp with Me video. Here's a link to it on Facebook.

Save

This is one of my favorite I made so far with this paper; I love the new Misty Moonlight in color. Paired with Night of Navy and White is quite striking in my opinion. Monochrome cards can be so soothing!

I also used the Small Bloom punch, 2020-22 In Color Enamel Dots and the Pick a Punch.

Measurements:
- Card Base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  DSP 3 1/2" square and 1" X 3 1/2"
  CS layer 5" X 3 3/4"
  CS strip; textured 3/4" X 4 1/4"
  Greeting banner/punch

Join me here on Monday evenings at 7:30 pm CT for Stamp with Me FB Lives and you'll get a ton of ideas and maybe even make a nice group of cards right along with me.
