Happy Birthday to You; a free stamp set!

Have you seen this pretty stamp set yet?  The cake on a pedestal image is quite pretty and easy to color too. 

And guess what?!  They are releasing a set of die-cuts for this set next month!  It includes 7 dies including one for the entire cake, just the flowers, a detailed pedestal and two sets of leaves.  It will be for purchase; it's not part of Sale-a-Bration.  There are 6 new items they'll release on February 4th that coordinate with items in the new Mini catalog and Sale-a-Bration catalog.  I'll share more on that soon.  

This pretty card has a bit of the Parisian Blossoms Designer Series Paper on the edge; it brings together the soft colors of Pool Party, Petal Pink and White.  It's a bonus card for those who take my New Catalog stamp a stack class on January 25th.

That detailed scalloped rectangle is from my favorite new set of dies; Stitched So Sweetly.  It's one of the best things in the new Mini Catalog!  

I colored the cake with Blends markers in Petal Pink, Pool Party and Mint Macaron.  The greeting is stamped in Smoky Slate.  Note the addition of the Champagne Rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon! 

The Parisian Blossom DSP, Champagne Rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon are all included in this month's Cards kit to go.  Click here to get the details on it.  Or message me at lagreff60@gmail.com

Here's a photo of all you get in the kit; $20 in product plus the 10 pre-cut cards!  All for $28 before shipping. You do need to RSVP by tomorrow, Thursday January 16th to receive it though!

• Christmas card swaps!

  October 27, 2021

  ---

  I love sharing the cards my Flowerbug's make for our Team swaps.  We had a great turnout for the October meeting and swap. 

  Marilyn made this first card using the Welcoming Woods stamp set.  Her colors are Soft Succulent, White & Evening Evergreen.

  Save

  Products used are all from the 2021-22 Annual Stampin' Up! catalog:

  • Wintry 3D embossing pair seen here
  • Hippo & Basic Border dies
  • Tidings of Christmas 6 X 6" DSP 
  • 2021-23 In Color Shimmer Vellum
  • Soft Succulent ribbon

  And here's the inside. She punched a strip of Evening Evergreen CS with the Evergreen Border punch and then textured it with the Evergreen Forest 3D embossing folder! 

  Save

  Next is a card made by Paula featuring the Tidings & Trimmings bundle in the Annual catalog.  

  Save

  Her colors include Real Red, Evening Evergreen & White. The star is cut from the Be Dazzling specialty paper in the previous Sale-a-Bration catalog. 

  I love how she wove the ribbon through the scalloped openings in the die-cut.  This die is from the Scalloped Contour dies seen here. 

  ~~~

  Next is a pretty card made by Mary featuring the Evergreen Elegance stamp set; also in the Annual Catalog.  

  It's a fun fold card where you fold back the front flap of the card.  

  Save

  The designer paper is also the Tidings of Christmas and that nice large White die-cut is from the Seasonal Labels dies seen here.  They coordinate with the wonderful Christmas Season stamp set.

• Nature’s Harvest card with embossed vellum

  October 26, 2021

  ---

  I just realized I hadn't shared this pretty card we made in September at my Card Clubs.  It features the Nature's Harvest bundle seen here in the 2021 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog. 

  Save

  The colors include Bumblebee, Just Jade, White, Gold & Vellum. When I use vellum I always think 'Why don't I use it more?'  It can be the perfect layer without adding 'too much'. 

  Details:

  • The Vellum card stock is embossed with the Timber 3D embossing folder.
  • The coneflowers are colored with Stampin' Blends markers. 
  • That glitzy wheat stalk is part of the Harvest dies and from the Be Dazzling specialty paper that was available during Sale-a-Bration. 
  • The greeting is from the Delicate Dahlias (Sale-a-Bration) stamp set on a Tasteful Label die-cut 

  Save

  
  

  Measurements:

  • Bumblebee card stock 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • Vellum CS 3 3/4" X 5"
    • White scraps for circle, greeting and flower
    • Be Dazzling paper scrap for stems
    • Penguin Playmates DSP 1 1/2" X 4 1/4"

  And here's the video!

  It's actually a gatefold card but the front panel is a piece of designer paper that leaves a reveal of the right edge of the card base which is textured. 

  For these two cards I chose to use the In Good Taste DSP (Annual Catalog on the left) and Cork paper on the left from the Holiday catalog. 

  Or see it on my YouTube channel here on Tuesday.
