Growth Takes Time with Radiating Stitches dies; & free project sheet!

On last week's FB Live I shared three cards featuring the new Online Exclusive products. A few are already out of stock but they are ordering more. You can see them all here.  

Today's project features two of them.  Radiating Stitches dies and Growth Takes Time stamp set.

I chose to use the Sun Prints designer paper along with a Navy, Gray Granite & White color theme.

Heads up! The Sun Prints Designer Paper is on low inventory; I wonder if they'll run out of stock soon.  

SUN PRINTS 12” X 12” (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

I stamped the tree and greeting (Charming Sentiments) using Night of Navy ink.  I did not color in the tree; sometimes it's okay to keep it simple. The ribbon here is the Navy bordered ribbon in the Spring catalog; seen here.  It's soft and easy to work with. 

I used three of the Radiating Stitches dies on this card. See them here.

I love trees so it was an easy decision to purchase the Growth Takes Time stamp set.  See it here.

  • Two pretty ‘Fancy Border’ card swaps by my Flowerbugs

    Here are the last two swap cards made by my Flowerbug's Team for our 'Fancy Borders' swap in April. 

    This first card was made by Sharon. She used the Textured Chic DSP (retired/sold out) and the Around the Bend bundle seen here.

    April Sharon Around the Bend Save

    Love the multiple curvy scalloped borders!! Her colors include Petal Pink, Soft Succulent and Calypso Coral. She also used the Two-Tone Flora bundle seen here.  This is returning in the new catalog but it will no longer be a bundle at 10% off.

    Next is a white on white card made by Ginny.  What an elegant card!  

    April Ginny Fern 3D Save

    She used the Fern 3D folder and two sets of dies – Border Basics and Stylish Shapes. Simple & gorgeous. 

    See the Basic Border dies here:  I love these dies; they're so versatile.  I'm so glad they are carrying over into the new Annual catalog.

  • Two more ideas with the Border Basics dies

    Continuing on to share team swaps featuring fancy borders here is a unique card made by Paula.  I would never have thought of this!

    April Paula Harvest Save

    She used the Abigail Rose Designer Paper for her card front and the Basic Border dies for her lower edge.  The retiring Harvest dies seen here(discounted to $15.20 from $38) are the flowers on the front.  She cut the front flap with the dies as well as the back card base!  So cool!  

    The front flap is 2 5/8" wide.  Her card stock is Crumb Cake.  Love the brass butterflies inside!

    Next is a pretty card made by Mary using the Sending Smiles bundle.  The stamp set & dies are carrying over into the new Annual catalog but they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off. 

    She used the same exact die as Paula did above; the Basic Border dies are wonderful!   

    April Mary Sending Save

    Her colors include Fresh Freesia, Navy, Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight.  She also used the pretty Brass Butterflies on her card front.  

    The Designer Paper is the Hues of Happiness DSP from the Annual Catalog but it's sold out now. 

    See the Basic Border dies here:  I love these dies; they're so versatile.  Luckily they are carrying over into the new Annual catalog.

  • 2 more great card ideas with the Basic Border dies!

    Before you get to the projects today I want to let everyone know about the current shipping delays. Stampin' Up! had their highest sales day ever on April 4th – by almost 20 times the average!  Wow!  They are quite behind and have added extra staff and longer hours to get caught up.  So if you're wondering where your order is, it's coming….it will just be about 8-10 days longer than normal.

    This week I'm sharing our April card swaps from my Flowerbug's team. It's so fun to see what they make; everyone has their own unique style.  I LOVE swapping with them!  

    Annette chose the Beside Me stamp set for her card. She is a master at coloring and sponging.  

    April Beside Me Annette Save

    Her colors include Blueberry Bushel, Basic White & Black. The Blueberry Bushel layer is textured with the Timeworn Type folder; the greeting die-cut is from the Stylish Shapes dies. 

    She cut two curves for her card; one with the Basic White layer and another with a Black layer.  She colored the image in with Blends markers.

    Next is a neat card made by Karen who also used the Basic Border dies seen here.  

    April Karen Something Fancy Save

    She used the die to cut off the edge of her card and then used that second piece to create a 'vertical window' for her By the Bay specialty designer paper. This pretty paper is discounted on the Last Chance List.  See it here. 

    Her greeting and die-cut layers are from the Something Fancy bundle in the Spring catalog.  It will be in the new Annual catalog but no longer as a bundle at 10% off. 

    See the Basic Border dies here:  I love these dies; they're so versatile.  Luckily they are carrying over into the new Annual catalog.
