Gorgeous Garden dies & Blending Brushes; wow!


Check out this beautiful card made with the Gorgeous Garden dies!  


I think it's stunning.  Don't you love the pretty blending of the greens? I simply added one color to the finished die-cut.  I cut it out from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and added Pretty Peacock ink with a blending brush in a few areas.  Easy!  

I was surprised that the finished color (after adding Pretty Peacock to Lemon Lime Twist) was close to Shaded Spruce.  Who knew?!  So I added a 1/4" strip to the left edge of the card to bring in that color and also stamped the greetings in Shaded Spruce too.  

Tip: Adding your colors in two or more ways to your project gives them a cohesive look. For example if I use green card stock I will add a layer of green or a stamped image. If you struggle with choosing color combinations stick with just two colors.  Or better yet try a monochromatic card – add one color to a neutral like white, browns or black.  

I used the Lasting Joy set for my greetings.  I really love this set with the mixed fonts; I find I use it often.  

I added a stitched circle to the left side to anchor the greeting.  Both of these dies are from the Stylish Shapes dies; they're a must have! See them here.  

Here are the Gorgeous Garden dies. 

I made these cards on a recent video seen here.  Or click on the photo below to watch.

  • Brilliant Accordion Fun Fold card; it’s a big WOW!


    If you ever want to impress someone with an extra special hand made card, try one of these Accordion cards.  They are so easy to make it looks fancy and a bit tricky. 

    I used the Daffodil Afternoon designer paper from our current Sale-a-Bration promotion. You can see it here and get it free with any $50 Stampin' Up! order.  

    The neat greetings are all from the Special Moments stamp set; another free choice from our Sale-a-Bration promotion through February.  See all of our free SAB choices here. 

    Details:

    • The colors are Crushed Curry & Mossy Meadow with a bit of Flirty Flamingo.
    • Beautiful Layer dies – greeting die-cut shapes 
    • Medium Daisy punch – flowers (sponged color on the edges)
    • Daffodil dies – stems & daisy centers 
    • Bough punch – leaves

     The fold is actually quite simple for the inside of this card.  I hope you watch the video below to see how it's done.  

    Accordion card measurements: 

    • Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½”
    • DSP 5 ¼” X 10” scored at 2”, 3”, 4”, 5”, 6”, 7” & 8”

  • How to make an Easy Fun Fold Window card with the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Paper


    This is one of the card folds I demonstrated on last week's FB Live where I featured the Daffodil Daydream bundle along with the coordinating Daffodil Afternoon DSP.  

    I love how our products coordinate so wonderfully.  This Daffodil Afternoon DSP is part of our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  It's free with any $50 Stampin' Up! order.  This promotion ends on February 28th. See all of the free products here.  

    For the greetings I used the Special Moments stamp set; also in our 2022 Sale-a-Bration catalog.  It's a big set of 21 images and it's free with a $100 order through February.  

    The cards look like a simple window card from the front; before you open it.  I used the Layering Circles dies, cutting through both the DSP and card base for the window.  

    The front of these cards both use the same Designer Paper; you can get a totally different look depending on which sheet you choose. The cute layered butterflies are from the Daffodil dies. 

    This is how the card looks when you open it.  It's a simple double fold that the circles are easily added to.  Just close the card and add them 'through' the window onto the inside layer. 

    Below is the video.  This card is the second project I share.  If you like fun fold cards be sure to catch the last one; it's a wonderful accordion style card!
