You can see the Gears & Textures bundle here. It’s so special & unique and perfect for masculine cards. But as you can see in Candace’s card it’s great for gals too!
She made her own paper with the stamps in the set. She used Pretty in Pink, Night of Navy & Flirty Flamingo inks. She added die-cut gears from the Metallic Textured Specialty papers seen here.
If you want to make a card like this start out with a 4 1/4″ X 11″ piece of card stock scored at 5 1/2″. Trim off a 1 1/2″ piece from one end. Then trim off another 2 1/2″ piece which is the vertical center piece. The stamped paper layers are 1 1/4″ X 4″ on the top & bottom and the center is 2 1/4″ X 4″.
Eden’s Garden & Forever Fern; a fun way to use the Picture This dies
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!
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.
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!
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.
