The neat greetings are all from the Special Moments stamp set; another free choice from our Sale-a-Bration promotion through February.  See all of our free SAB choices here.

  • Dragonfly Garden Quick Fun-fold Card with video!

    We made this pretty dragonfly card at last month's Card Clubs.  

    I knew I wanted to use the new In Color shimmer vellum and thought the Dragonflies punch would work perfectly.  It sure did!  I wish you could see the shimmer in person; it's beautiful! 

    Dragonfly Garden Pink Save

    They had a choice of Polished Pink or Fresh Freesia for their card and could punch a variety of colors for their dragonflies.  

    DRAGONFLY GARDEN BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    We used the Dragonfly Garden stamp set which is bundled with the Dragonflies punch in the bundle seen here. See how the wings are curled?  The bone folder works beautifully for this.  *Watch the video below to see how it's done. 

    Tip: I recommend using Stazon Black ink when stamping on the vellum so it dries quickly. Vellum paper doesn't 'absorb' ink easily so it can stay wet a long time.

    Below are the measurements for you and Download May Dragonfly Garden fun fold here

    • Black base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
      Fresh Freesia or Polished Pink 3 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"

  • Plentiful Plants Cards

    I took some time to play with the new Plentiful Plants bundle last week and came up with these cards: 

    Plentiful Plants 2 Save

    Can you believe that both the brick, the pots and leaves are all cut from the designer paper?  I did stamp the plant on the left but the others are all die-cut from the Bloom Where You're Planted DSP. I love when Stampin' Up! gives us paper and dies that coordinate.  

    BLOOM WHERE YOU'RE PLANTED 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

    The bottom Soft Succulent CS is made with the Stitched Leaves die; one of my new favorites!  See it here.  

    ~~~

    This next card also features the Bloom Where You're Planted DSP. 

    Plentiful Plants 2 Save

    Each of the three plants & pots are from the DSP except for the bowl in the center.  That is a die-cut made from Cinnamon Cider CS.  I placed them on a die-cut from the Hippo & Friends dies.  I sponged the bottom with Cinnamon Cider ink.  

    This card is 4 1/4" X 11" and scored at 1 1/4" and 6 3/4".  The right flap is glued down and has a 1" X 4" Soft Succulent strip adhered to it.  It was textured with the Macrame 3D embossing folder seen here.

  • Bright Color Combo card with the new Watercolor Shapes set

    I have lots of creative challenges for my Flowerbug's Team and this time it was a color challenge featuring Night of Navy, Magenta Madness & Granny Apple Green.  Fun, vibrant colors I knew would be fun to play with. 

    Watercolor Shapes color combo.. Save

    I cut off an inch from the right edge of my Navy card and added a strip of Granny Apple Green DSP on the inside edge.  

    I chose to use a stamp set that I hadn't used yet; Watercolor Shapes seen here.  

    WATERCOLOR SHAPES PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET Save

    I stamped the watercolor shapes all over the 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" White CS but I did stamp off first for a lighter hue.  The greeting stands out more then. 

    I found a 'hello' greeting in each of the following stamp sets; Blossoms in Bloom, Create with Friends, Timeless Tropical, Sweet as a Peach, Artistically Inked & Sweet Strawberry.  I had no idea we had that many 'hello's' in our sets! 

    What do you think of this color combination?  

    CC5 Save

    I stamped a few of these images twice and fussy cut them so I could add some dimension to the card front.  I also added the new In Color Square Gems and a few of the Clear Epoxy Essentials that I colored Granny Apple Green with a Blends marker.
