Happy Easter with a Floating Die-cuts Technique card

Our family gathers together for Easter most of the time; when we can that is. 

We do jelly bean hunts with our granddaughter inside and an Easter Egg hunt outside weather permitting.  What are your traditions for Easter?   

I shared this card on last week's Facebook Live when I did Paper Strips Techniques. You can see it here.

On this card I adhered strips or punched circles to our Acetate and then used the Oval Dies to cut them out.  I had to run it through multiple times as our acetate is very thick. But it die work!  

Other products used here:

• Word Wishes dies
• Layering Oval dies (So very sad these are retiring!) 
• Friendly Silhouettes dies (Greenery; retiring & on sale $19.20)
• Tasteful Textile 3D folder
• Little Details embossing folders (retiring & on sale $3.20)

• Awesome Otters is perfect with the Simply Marbelous!

  February 26, 2022

  ---

  There are just 2 days left of Sale-a-Bration promotion and I had to share this sweet card my Flowerbug's team member Karen made for our recent swap. The theme was cards featuring animals & fun fold layout. 

  Save

  She used Balmy Blue, Misty Moonlight & Gray Granite along with the Hippo & Friends dies. She colored him in with Blends markers.  

  This card is a triangle pop up card.  The front of the card is scored diagonally across it so you can give it a twist to pop it up.  The inside greeting holds it up.  

  The Awesome Otters set is adorable; those critters are so cute!

  You can see the Awesome Otters set here and the Simply Marbelous DSP here.  They're BOTH free with a $50 order through Monday only.  Then Sale-a-Bration ends! Don't miss out on the deals!!!

  February 25, 2022

  The other card we made at my February card clubs was this bright rainbow easel card. We have so many wonderful rainbow themed products right now.

  Details:

  • The rainbows and small clouds are die-cut using the Rainbow dies (currently unavailable through March 28th). 
  • The rainbows are cut from the Ombre 12 X 12" Specialty paper in the annual catalog (seen here). 
  • The clouds are punched using the new Cloud punch from either the Simply Ombre DSP, the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP or the Supple Shimmer paper. *The cloud punch matched the Sunshine & Rainbow DSP perfectly! 
  • The stamped images are from the Rainbow of Happiness & the Celebrating You stamp set; both in the 2022 Jan-June catalog
  • The DSP inside the card is the Sunshine & Rainbow paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog; it's free with any $50 order. 
  • They could add either raindrops from the Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials or the Artistry Blooms sequins. 
  • The frame was made by cutting a rectangle from a 4" X 5 1/4" Basic White CS with the Stitched Rectangle dies.  

  Have you noticed this gorgeous glimmery specialty paper in the annual catalog?  It's perfect for rainbows & that touch of glitter.

• Driving By meets Simply Marbelous for a retro style Birthday card

  February 24, 2022

  ---

  We made retro style birthday cards at my February card clubs.  Look at this:

  Save

  It's perfect for a guy or even a young adult.  The Simply Marbelous designer series paper from our Sale-a-Bration catalog is absolutely amazing!  It does look a little psychedelic doesn't it?! 

  Save

  I covered the entire card front with it; no border at all.  I rarely do this but I wanted this unique & special paper to shine!  It has 6 different color combinations in it; all monochromatic too!  Everyone had a choice of their favorite color.  

  The birthday greeting is from the Slim Sayings stamp set seen here.  We stamped it in Versamark ink and heat embossed with Black embossing powder. 

  *There's a video to see how this card was created.  You can watch it here. 

  Save

  The car images were stamped with Black Memento ink on a Basic White Stitched rectangle die-cut and then colored in with our Stampin' Up! Blends markers.  

  I trimmed the balloon image off of the convertible so it could be added to any of the vehicles.  See the Driving By stamp set here; it's free with any $50 order through February. 

  The cute stitched banner is cut from more Simply Marbelous DSP using the Triangle dies.  

  Save

  After the card was assembled we added a finishing tough to the windows – a bit of Shimmery Crystal Effects for some shine.
