• 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!  

  

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

  

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

  

  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…..

  
  

  Things are flying off the shelves on the retiring Last Chance Sale.  Thank you to all who have placed orders with me this week!  I sure appreciate it!!!

  Here's the video I shared how to make the window card with the Picture This dies.  Plus two other cool projects using up card stock strips! Click on the photo below.  Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel!

• String Art Technique; fun, easy & the results are a big WOW!

  April 5, 2023

  ---

  I shared the String Art technique on last week's Live video.  It's been years since I tried it and it brought back how much fun it is!

  

  That cool swirly, colorful image is made with a length of twine, ink refills and a phone book.  Yes; a phone book!  Any book will do but I a phone book is okay to get inky.  

  And another neat thing about this technique is you get two finished panels from one technique!  

  

  You might notice the card on the right has thicker lines.  I believe that piece was on the bottom and had more moisture on it.  

  I used Bermuda Bay and Parakeet Party ink refills for this technique, along with about 14" of baker's twine. After the piece was created I let it dry and textured it with an embossing folder.  

  *Bermuda Bay card stock, ink pad and refill are already sold out.  Products can go so fast on the Last Chance list! 

  

  Other products used: 2022-24 In Color dots seen here (Just $4; reduced by 50%!), the Quatrefoil embossing folder, Butterfly Kisses 6 X 6" DSP, 2022-24 In Color Baker's Twine pack. 

  You really need to watch this technique in action.  It's so much easier than to try to explain it.  

  Watch the video here or click on the image below to see this special technique. It's the third project in the video.
