Gather Together card with a cool punch trick!!


Marilyn made this pretty card for our Team swap.  She used the Gather Together bundle in the 2020 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog.  There are two really neat tricks you might not notice at first glance.  

Can you spy the two special techniques here?  Keep reading and I'll share them below.

Measurements:

  • Cajun Craze 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • Very Vanilla 4 3/4" X 3 1/2"
  • Rich Razzleberry 5" X 3 3/4"
  • Plaid Tidings 1/2" X 3 3/4"

Products Used:

Okay, now I'll reveal her two tricks!  

  1. Can you see the changes in colors on the textured leaves?  The bottom three leaves were die-cut & embossed (done all at once!) and then spritzed with water.  The water changes the color on the leaves!  I cannot believe it's just water and no ink to get this effect.  Super cool!!
  2. Next is the greeting shape.  It's made with the Label me Lovely punch.  You can get multiple shapes from this punch.  Here's how:
  • Punch one piece out.  
  • Add a bit of adhesive to the end of a thin piece of card stock and adhere it to the punched piece. 
  • Insert the piece back into your punch and adjust it to get whatever size shape you want!  

Here are three shapes I made with this punch.  Super neat and so versatile!  See the punch here.

  • Blending tips with this cute Cheers & Sips card; video & free project sheet too!


    Today I'm sharing a pretty & bright color combo for this cheery card using the Cheers & Sips stamp & die bundle. I made it on last week's Live video. 

    The colors include Peach Pie with Melon Mambo. It's a simple layout but the stamped images sure make it special.  

    The circle die-cut is from the Spotlight on Nature dies.  I stamped the images in Black Memento ink and colored them in with our Blends markers.  I love them because you rarely get any lines when coloring.  If you like to color you NEED the Blends markers!  Watch the video to see how to blend easily.  

    I created a free project sheet with measurements & a supplies list. Click on the following link to print or download it.  Download Cheers to You card

    The Cheers & Sips dies are currently out of stock but they'll likely be back around July 14th. See the bundle here

    Below is the video for this card and TWO more with this neat bundle and the coordinating Celebratory Sips DSP seen here.   I love this colorful & unique paper; it's something completely different!

  • Cheers & Sips card with the Everyday Arches dies; video & free project sheet too!


    A simple fun fold with the Everyday Arches dies and the Cheers & Sips suite.  

    I fussy cut the two drinks from the designer paper for the front arch.  The inside arch has the drink, umbrella and greeting stamped from the images in the set.  The card base is Old Olive and scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4". To get the arches lined up I encourage you to adhere the inside arch first and then close the card.  Now adhere the front arch to match. Easy!

  • Super neat fun fold card that’s easy with my tips! Free project sheet & video tutorial


    You're going to love this neat fun fold card I'm sharing today.  

    It doesn't look like much of a fun fold card does it? Look a bit closer to the right pink flap on this card; see how it's sticking up a bit at the bottom? That's where it opens.  

    I featured the Sentimental Framing stamp set seen here on the pretty greeting here. 

    The layered circles are from the Spotlight on Nature dies and the 2 3/8" circle punch. The leaf die-cut is from the Gallery Blooms dies. My colors include Bubble Bath with Mossy Meadow & Blackberry Bliss.  

    Here's how it opens. The horizontal strip holds the right side of the card base closed with a type of 'latch'.  

    I hope you watch the video below to see how easy this fold is.
