  • Simple Direct to Paper Technique for quick gorgeous cards! Plus 6 ways to add ribbon! Video & free project sheet too!


    On last week's Live video I focused on the Most Adored specialty designer paper and shared the Direct to Paper technique and these gorgeous cards: 

    Anytime we have designer papers with foil designs I think of this fun technique! It's basically rubbing or tapping your water based ink pad onto the designer paper. The ink soaks into the background but resists the foil designs. Simply wipe the excess ink off the foil with a tissue – done!

    The colors above are Azure Afternoon and Pretty Peacock. Notice the different ribbon techniques and layouts. The left card has loops of ribbon added to the greeting label; the right has a simple fold of ribbon. 

    Each card has two main pieces – the designer paper is 3" X 4" and the layered, coordinating card stock is 3 1/4" X 4 1/4". Check out the different layouts with these basic pieces.  

    The left card above is Highland Heather and the right is Sweet Sorbet.  A few more examples of ways to add ribbon and change up this simple layout.  I added two thin strips of ribbon across the left card and tied a bow around the window frame on the right. 

    Remember this pretty specialty paper is available through February during Sale-a-Bration. It's free with any $50 Stampin' Up! purchase. See it here. 

    Keeping to a basic layout like this is a wonderful way to get a bunch of cards done quickly and use up your designer paper at the same time! I chose the Charming Sentiments stamp set for all of my greetings.  

    The colors above are Copper Clay and Pebbled Path – 2 of our newest in colors.  Ribbon uses include a flag and a double bow.

    The free project sheet can be downloaded here: It's also a great reference for ways to add ribbon! Download Direct to Paper technique with 6 ways to add ribbon

    I hope you're inspired by the simply card idea, the technique and the 6 ways to add ribbon!  Watch the video below to see this technique in action!

  • AMAZING Most Adored Cascading Pleats fancy fold card – with video & free project sheet!


    Have you seen or made a 'Cascading Pleats' fun fold card before?  They're so cool and actually quite easy to make.  

    I shared how in last week's video. *if you want to watch them Live, follow me on my FB page here.  

    I chose to feature the Most Adored Specialty designer paper for my video projects. On this card I used both the Flirty Flamingo side and the Gold Foiled sides of this pretty paper.  See it here.  It's free with any $50 order through February during our Sale-a-Bration promotion – or while supplies last.  

    I have full measurements in my free project tutorial below but it will help you a lot to watch the video.  

    There are three layers and they 'cascade' in sizes from smallest in the front to largest in the back.  Each has 2-3 layers.  

    Other products used include: Thoughtful Moments Hybrid 3D embossing folder, Hooray for Surprises bundle, Give it a Whirl dies, Something Fancy stamp set, Gold foil paper & Elegant Trim.  

     

    It looks quite complicated but it really isn't.  I hope you 'll watch my video below or here to see how it's made.

  • More WOW swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team with measurements


    Okay; are you as amazed by this card as I am?!  Candace made this with the Submarine Life bundle.

    The bubble paper looks like it's printed but she made it! She stamped on her Pool Party card stock with Pool Party & White craft ink with the bubble image.  Incredible!

    I'm not positive of the many colors she used here but I know a few include Sweet Sorbet, Blueberry Bushel, Daffodil Delight & Old Olive.  She's a huge fan of the Beatles 'Yellow Submarine' so she had to get this bundle! 

    Measurements: 

    • Blueberry Bushel 8 1/8" X 5 1/4". Across the top, score at the 1 5/8" mark down to 1 5/8". Score at 3 3/8" down to 3 5/8". Score at 5" down to the bottom of the card. From the bottom side, score at the 6 1/2" up to 1 5/8". Now you'll make two cuts across the center two areas from the score lines.  
    • Pool Party large squares 3 1/4", small squares 1 1/2" X 2 for the bottom.  Top pieces are 1 1/2" X 1 3/4"
    • Back white is 3" X 3 3/8" 

    Here's a view of the back side.  

    This is a total 'WOW' card; don't you agree? Candace is an incredible designer and LOVES swapping!

    Mary made this sweet card with the Sunny Days designer paper seen here.  It's free during Sale-a-Bration through February or while supplies last.  

    I've always loved Red with Pool Party; one of my favorite color combos. 

    Measurements:

    • Pool Party 6 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4", second flap is 6" X 4 1/4" score at 3 1/8"
    • DSP 2" X 5 1/4"
    • White inside 3 1/2" X 4" 
    • Poppy Parade circle is 2 1/4"

    I have MANY more to share with you too!  Stay tuned!
