Gorgeous Notes of Nature card with free project sheet & video tutorial

January 29, 2024

I had no idea I would enjoy creating with the Nature's Sweetness suite as much as I did. It's not my usual style but I'm in love with it all!

Here's one of the cards I shared on last week's video:

Save

I used the Notes of Nature bundle and Old Olive, Black and gold accents on this card. The large white layer is made by stamping a few of the background stamps in Black ink. I added two sets of leaves – one in green and 2 the other in the Gold designer paper.

I want to mention what I think puts this card over the top. Of course the gold additions attract your eye but I think repeating colors a few times helps a lot. Notice how the black is repeated, the Olive is and so is the Gold. If you have trouble with color combinations, try adding one color with a neutral or two. Such as Black & White with any color.

More Details:

I textured the Olive layer with the Exposed Brick embossing folder and used a Blending Brush to add Old Olive ink to it. This really highlights the texture!
Also notice the small strip of Gold designer paper on the top and bottom of the stamped white layer. This is the Nature's Sweetness specialty paper.
I added gold sequins and gold Elegant trim near the greeting.

Easy idea with your leftover paper strips with Artfully Layered

January 5, 2022

I had a bunch of leftover Just Jade card stock strips I was determined to use. I believe it was from a fun fold card I offered in one of my kits to go. Luckily inspiration struck and I created this neat card for an online swap I participated in. I love it!

Save

I used the new bundle called Artfully Layered stamping the largest leaf multiple times in Just Jade ink. The botanical images, dies and super fun greetings in this bundle were one of my top picks from the new 2022 Jan-June Stampin' Up! catalog. You can see this bundle here.

Save

Each of the strips are 1" X 3 1/4" and they are adhered to a White piece measuring 3 3/4" X 5". I adhered them so they did not match up purposefully. You could also stamp them as shown and place them onto the card in order.

Simply add a greeting and a punch or die-cut. I LOVE when I can use leftovers to create wonderful cards easily.

Save

The greeting die-cut is from the Beautiful Shapes dies seen here. They include circles, hexagons, a few odd shapes & triangles. They're fun, modern & unique!

Swedish Stars in both Shimmer Vellum & Simply Marbelous Designer Paper with easy video tutorial

January 3, 2022

Have you seen some of these fancy folded stars online and thought you could never make them? Well this one is so much easier than it looks and I made them on a FB Live recently.

Save

Honestly they are quite easy. Basically you need a 6 X 6" piece of Designer paper – twelve 1/2" X 6" strips to create them. I did add a medallion in the center but it's not necessary at all. Here I used the brand new Simply Marbelous designer paper from the new Sale-a-Bration catalog. It's available in 6 different colors and absolutely gorgeous!!

Save

I also made a few in our 2021-23 In Color Shimmer seen here & Gold Shimmer vellum seen here. I used snowflakes from the So Many Snowflakes dies in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.

Calming Camelia stamp set; a Sneak Peak of Sale-a-Bration 2022

December 31, 2021

Here's a sneak peak of two of my favorite Sale-a-Bration choices. The Calming Camelia stamp set & Simply Marbelous Designer Paper. I created a bunch of these for an online swap.

Save

Isn't it pretty? It's a distinktive type stamp which means you get multiple hues of color with one inking. I just love the swirls and the greetings.

My colors are Bumblebee & Basic Gray. I did heat emboss the greeting in White embossing powder and punched it out with the Tailored Tag punch; my favorite for greetings!
