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:

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.

Snowman Peek-a-Boo card with video

January 3, 2020

This interactive card is fun& adorable and my gals loved it at our December club events.

They were anxious that it would be difficult. There is a little trick to it but once you 'get it' you'll find it's pretty easy.

I cased this card from my very creative friend, Julie Davison. Her style is simple yet fun. Her layouts are the best!

My color scheme came from the Let it Snow specialty designer paper from the Holiday catalog. Unfortunately that paper is out of stock. It was VERY popular! It's Coastal Cabana, Real Red, White and Black.

My colors are Blushing Bride, White and Granny Apple Green. I used the new Coastal Weave embossing folder from the Mini catalog, the Stitched Nested Label dies too.

I curled the little petals up with my bone folder and added the Gingham Gala adhesive-backed sequins to the center.

Today is my New Catalog Open House and BOGO sale; I am so excited to be able to offer the wonderful deals to my local customers. It's from 1-3:30 pm in my Minot ND studio.

If I have lots leftover I may offer them to my long distance customers. We'll see how it goes!

This last year has been an incredible one for me as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. The highlight was achieving the Million Dollars in sales Achievement. Stampin' Up! makes a big deal of it and I enjoyed every minute of the two days spent in Utah!

Here's a short video of my trip to the home office in Riverton, Utah. I was SO nervous but honestly everyone there is so kind and lovely we had a wonderful time and after my 'speech' all was good!

Thank you to everyone who has been a part of my 14 year journey. Whether you are a customer, follower, Flowerbug's Team member, fellow demonstrator, friend or anything else; you helped make this fun and rewarding!

I love what I do and appreciate you all!
