Great silhouette cards with Simply Marbelous DSP with Honeybee Home bundle


I saw a group of cards made by France Labrecque and I just had to make some.  Look!

I changed them up a bit but kept the same premise of a die-cut circle with these gorgeous Honeybee Blooms dies in silhouette.  I added a bit of color on the White layer before texturing them.  The card above features the Gingham embossing folder.

Here are the 6 cards I made; one with each color of Designer Paper in the Simply Marbelous DSP pack.  This beautiful paper is FREE through February, 2022 with any $50 Stampin' Up! order.  See it here. 

I cannot decide which color is my favorite but I lean towards the yellow or blue. 

The embossing folder on the card above is called Macrame; it's in the 2022 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog or seen here. 

For each card I used one of the greetings in the Honeybee Home stamp set which is part of the Honeybee Home bundle seen here.  The greeting dies are from the Ornate Frames dies in the Annual catalog seen here.  

This incredible Simply Marbelous 6 X 6" DSP is still available; if you want it I'd get it now while they still have a supply.  It's always possible it could run out before the end of February. 

One neat thing about this pretty designer paper is each sheet has a softer, less distinct pattern and this beautiful swirly pattern. And each color is a combination of light & dark hues so it works with many, many shades of each color!  

Which is your favorite?  

Here's the video!  Click on the picture below to watch it. These cards are the 3rd project I share.

  • Pretty Rustic Crate bundle ideas by Mary


    Today I'm sharing a few cards made by my Team Member Mary.  She was my October Artist of the Month and she chose to feature the Rustic Crate bundle seen here. 

    Her first project shows off her beautiful coloring and that neat create die-cut. 

    I believe she colored the fall image with Blends markers. Products used include the Let's Go Fishing designer paper, Mossy Meadow, Early Espresso and Wild Wheat card stock as well as the Nested Essential dies and In Color twine. 

    That cute little 'hello' die-cut is included in this bundle. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
    • Wild Wheat banner 4 1/4" X 1"
    • Let's Go Fishing designer paper 2 1/2" X 5 1/4"

    Her next card features a beautiful color combination of Copper Clay with Pretty Peacock, Very Vanilla and Lost Lagoon. 

    It also shows off the pretty All About Autumn specialty designer paper.  It's back in stock now too; see it here! 

    She simple sponged a bit of Copper clay ink over the fall image. 

    The Pretty Peacock die-cut leaf is from the Autumn Leaves dies. 

    Measurements:

    • Copper Clay card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
    • Lost Lagoon 5 1/4" X 4" plus a 1 3/4" circle punch
    • All About Autumn Designer paper 5 1/8" X 3 7/8" plus a 4" X 1/2" strip
    • Vanilla 3" X 2 1/4"

    It's November! It's hard to believe we're starting to think about Thanksgiving already!  

    I have a bunch of handmade cards I'd love to share with you. I know many of you love having card samples in hand for ideas. I have a shoebox full saved for quick reference when I'm creating.  

    My November special for online orders is a set of handmade cards. The more you order the more cards you'll receive!  

    Please use a host code when ordering from me. This helps me a lot so I can afford to gift you all with free items each month. 

    Starting today there's a brand new kit in our Kit Collection; it's a set of cards with a 'destination' theme. It's called the Best Destination Kit – item #163186. 


    This all inclusive kit is $20 and includes:

    • Enough supplies to create 9 cards—3 each of 3 designs

  • Gorgeous Abundant Beauty Kraft notecards with gift box


    I was inspired by this set of cards & box by a project shared online. I changed up the colors to 'my' favorites and created this:

    I absolutely LOVE the Abundant Beauty Decorative masks seen here! The sunflowers are my favorite of course, but I also used the houndstooth mask here as well. Unfortunately these masks are out of stock right now. They'll be back around November 13th. 

    You might think I made this box but I sure didn't!  It's found on page 135 of our Annual Catalog. It includes 20 cards & 20 envelopes and one box for gifting cards in; all in Kraft paper.  The cards are notecard side which is 5" X 3 1/2". See it here online. 

    As you can see in the photo below I used the houndstooth mask to add a soft background to each notecard.  I used a blending brush and Copper Clay ink.  

    The sunflowers are made with Pretty Peacock ink and the leaves are Granny Apple Green on White cardstock. Yes; they are all fussy cut! I did some but my friend Pat did the rest for me; she loves to fussy cut things! 

    The greetings are from the So Sincere stamp set from the 2023 Holiday catalog.  It's my favorite greeting set right now. See it here. 

     

    You can see in the photo below that I added the houndstooth pattern to the entire box, inside & out.  Because it comes flat it's easy to do. 

    I hope you're inspired by this project.  I'm not sure who will receive it yet, but it will be someone special!
