Hey Girlfriend with a paper strips background!

April 14, 2021

Coloring these sweet girls can be intimidating but not with our Blends markers! Look at her!

I will admit that my friend & team member Audrey colored this one. She shared a bunch of stamped & colored girls with me and I've made a few cards with them. If you look closely you can see the changes in color hue that gives great dimension. Such as her skirt. See how the outside is darker than the inside? Same with her cheeks.

The Blends markers are fabulous tools!

I had a bunch of colored card stock strips laying on my desk and decided to use them for a background. I cut some into thinner strips to add interest. I did not measure; they vary in widths which adds some interest & fun.

I adhered them to a 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" piece of card stock. Then I trimmed off the excess and added the entire piece to a piece of 3 5/8" X 4 7/8" piece of Black CS before I added it to the White card base.

Easy idea with your leftover paper strips with Artfully Layered

January 5, 2022

I had a bunch of leftover Just Jade card stock strips I was determined to use. I believe it was from a fun fold card I offered in one of my kits to go. Luckily inspiration struck and I created this neat card for an online swap I participated in. I love it!

Save

I used the new bundle called Artfully Layered stamping the largest leaf multiple times in Just Jade ink. The botanical images, dies and super fun greetings in this bundle were one of my top picks from the new 2022 Jan-June Stampin' Up! catalog. You can see this bundle here.

Save

Each of the strips are 1" X 3 1/4" and they are adhered to a White piece measuring 3 3/4" X 5". I adhered them so they did not match up purposefully. You could also stamp them as shown and place them onto the card in order.

Simply add a greeting and a punch or die-cut. I LOVE when I can use leftovers to create wonderful cards easily.

Save

The greeting die-cut is from the Beautiful Shapes dies seen here. They include circles, hexagons, a few odd shapes & triangles. They're fun, modern & unique!

Swedish Stars in both Shimmer Vellum & Simply Marbelous Designer Paper with easy video tutorial

January 3, 2022

Have you seen some of these fancy folded stars online and thought you could never make them? Well this one is so much easier than it looks and I made them on a FB Live recently.

Save

Honestly they are quite easy. Basically you need a 6 X 6" piece of Designer paper – twelve 1/2" X 6" strips to create them. I did add a medallion in the center but it's not necessary at all. Here I used the brand new Simply Marbelous designer paper from the new Sale-a-Bration catalog. It's available in 6 different colors and absolutely gorgeous!!

Save

I also made a few in our 2021-23 In Color Shimmer seen here & Gold Shimmer vellum seen here. I used snowflakes from the So Many Snowflakes dies in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.

Calming Camelia stamp set; a Sneak Peak of Sale-a-Bration 2022

December 31, 2021

Here's a sneak peak of two of my favorite Sale-a-Bration choices. The Calming Camelia stamp set & Simply Marbelous Designer Paper. I created a bunch of these for an online swap.

Save

Isn't it pretty? It's a distinktive type stamp which means you get multiple hues of color with one inking. I just love the swirls and the greetings.

My colors are Bumblebee & Basic Gray. I did heat emboss the greeting in White embossing powder and punched it out with the Tailored Tag punch; my favorite for greetings!
