Gather Together card with a cool punch trick!!

August 25, 2020

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:

Gather Together Bundle seen here just $38.50
Woodland embossing folder
Cajun Craze & Mango Melody inks
Label me Lovely punch
Stampin Spritzer

Okay, now I'll reveal her two tricks!

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!!
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.

Peaceful Poppies; easy cards!

January 6, 2020

The new Peaceful Poppies designer series paper is gorgeous with bright, pretty colors and lots of poppies! There's one sheet in particular that makes it super easy to make quick, floral cards. Click here to see it in my store.

Save

It's the sheet of paper on the far left above.

Save

I cut the paper at 5 1/2" across and above the flowers. Then into 3" strips. Now I have 8 panels of flowers ready for cards!

I made two cards here adding a 1" X 5 1/2" strip of Poppy Parade on the left and a white punched border using the Decorative Ribbon Border punch. The cards are Old Olive cut at 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"

Save

The greetings are from the new Sale-a-Bration set 'Sending you Thoughts' on page 11 of that catalog. You can see it here. The punch they're stamped on is the Timeless Label punch seen here.

You might wonder where I found that pretty crinkled Poppy Parade ribbon. It's the new 1/4" White crinkled ribbon that I colored Poppy with my Dark Poppy Parade blends. I LOVE being able to color my ribbon the exact color I need for my projects!

Check out all of the Sale-a-Bration items here; remember you get a free choice for every $50 or $100 you spend!

Snowman Peek-a-Boo card with video

January 3, 2020

This interactive card is fun& adorable and my gals loved it at our December club events.

They were anxious that it would be difficult. There is a little trick to it but once you 'get it' you'll find it's pretty easy.

I cased this card from my very creative friend, Julie Davison. Her style is simple yet fun. Her layouts are the best!

My color scheme came from the Let it Snow specialty designer paper from the Holiday catalog. Unfortunately that paper is out of stock. It was VERY popular! It's Coastal Cabana, Real Red, White and Black.

My colors are Blushing Bride, White and Granny Apple Green. I used the new Coastal Weave embossing folder from the Mini catalog, the Stitched Nested Label dies too.

I curled the little petals up with my bone folder and added the Gingham Gala adhesive-backed sequins to the center.
