Gorgeous Blackberry Beauty card swaps

November 25, 2021

Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope you have a wonderful day filled with good food, friends and family.

There really isn't a better word for the Blackberry Beauty specialty designer paper. Gorgeous just fits.

Today I'm sharing two fabulous card ideas made by two of my Flowerbug Team members.

First is Annette's pretty card. I think my favorite thing is how she made the amazing designer paper the star of the card. You don't need to add much to make a card shine with this Blackberry Beauty paper! See it here.

She added a stitched rectangle die-cut in Blackberry Bliss for her greeting, heat embossing it with Gold embossing powder. That thinner strip of Gold foil brings your focus back to the greeting. I love the 3 Elegant Faceted gems on the left too.

Next is a neat fun fold card made by Brenda.

She trimmed off 1 1/4" off the right edge of the card base and textured it with the Pretty Flowers embossing folder. Then she adhered it back onto the 'inside' of the card.

I like how she layered the greeting strip with another piece of this designer paper. Look at the added detail of the thin strip of Brushed Gold paper.

Measurements:

Blackberry Bliss card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". Trim off 1 1/4" off the edge
DSP 5" X 2 1/2", 1" X 4 1/4" strip
Cinnamon Cider 3" X 2 3/4", 3/4" X 4" greeting strip
inside piece 2 1/3" X 4 3/4"
Gold strip 1/4" X 5 1/2"

Easiest Shaker card you’ll ever make!

January 26, 2021
Giving an interactive card makes the card extra special like shakers, spinners or fun folds. But they can be time consuming or a lot of work.

Save

I used the free 'A Touch of Ink' stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. You can see it here. That background was made with our Blending Brushes and Bermuda Bay & Calypso Coral ink.

Save

This type of shaker card is truly easy; really! Besides the stamped element you need three basic things:
1. A clear envelope
2. Strong adhesive
3. Sequins, beads or tiny punched pieces
Insert your stamped card stock into the clear envelope, fold the excess envelope over to the back and seal with adhesive leaving one end open. Add your fun filler and seal closed.

Save

The pretty sequins in this card are the Woven Threads sequins in the annual catalog on page 157.

I made a video in December on making one of these shaker cards. Even though it's a Christmas card it's the same technique. Here it is:

I used the Paper Blooms DSP, Stitched in Whimsy & In Bloom bundle in Night of Navy & White. This pretty designer paper is free with any $50 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. See it here.

See that neat stitching on the inside of the card? That's my new favorite 'Stitched with Whimsy' dies; seen here.

Save

I used both the dies and the stamp set on my front panels. I also stamped the greeting on the inside layer on the bottom left card.

Save

You can see this neat In Bloom bundle here. Look at these dies! Love the stitching!

Don’t miss out on our best deal!

January 24, 2021
I want to ask you 3 questions:
1. Do you have a long wish list of Stampin' Up! products?
2. Have you ever wished you could get all of your Stampin' Up! products on sale?
3. Have you wanted to see the new catalogs early? And order products early too?!
If you answered yes to any of the above I hope you'll tune in to my Facebook Live on Tuesday evening. I am going to go over the truths & myths of becoming a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. I'm also sharing how I got started.

Here's a link to the event. Opt in and you'll get notified when I'm on.

For those of you not on Facebook, I'll upload it to YouTube on Wednesday here.

I asked my Flowerbug's to share their 'why' and it was so neat to hear their responses! They are so happy they made the decision; I've never had anyone tell me they regretted it. Ever!

Some have been with me more than 10 years and never held a class! And that's okay! A few have had some classes to help them meet their minimums and a few hold regular events.

Here are their most popular reasons:
1. They love the discount of 20% or more on all their purchases.
2. They're enjoying being a part of something so upbeat and rewarding, making friends online and in person.
3. They don't want to give up the Stampin' Up! online community. There are numerous, exclusive websites they have access to with tons of inspiration not seen anywhere else.
4. They really love getting their catalogs early and ordering from them before anyone else.
Fact: You get $125 of product of your choice, 5 packs of 6×6 DSP ($57.50), free Past Paper Pumpkin ($21), no shipping on any of this ($20.35). So instead of $223.85… you pay just $99?! What?

The Starter Kit is always 25% off but during Sale-a-Bration it's an even better deal with the extra 5 packs of Designer paper you get free; a value of $57!

Save

Remember the Starter kit is only $99 and you can choose up to $125 in product of your choice. You get free shipping, a free Paper Pumpkin kit and lots of catalogs & business supplies. Go here to get yours!
