Hues of Happiness Card Kit to Go or PDF tutorial

I hadn't planned on featuring this designer paper for my May card kit to go but once I received it I had to use it!  If you love florals you will enjoy this card kit!  

Save

Stampin' Up! hit a home run with this paper!  It's filled with a beautiful variety of florals and ombre backgrounds.

I created 10 cards using color combinations in the DSP; many of which are fun fold designs. I used the Happiness Abounds stamp set for my greetings and a few extra accents inside.

You have a few choices if you're interested in this kit.  I have the PDF tutorial only, the pre-cut kit to go with the tutorial and you can also add on the stamp set or bundle with the pre-cut kit so you have it all!

  November 20, 2023

  ---

  I have lots of beautiful cards to share with you this week; all from my Flowerbug's Team swaps. You'll love the theme – 'to use glitz, shine or shimmer'. 

  This first card was made by Tracey.  I think we all love the fractured card layout!

  • Christmas Tidings embossing folder (Holiday catalog)
  • Stylish Shapes dies – for 1 7/8" Vanilla square

  Next is a neat interlocking gatefold card made by Candace. I'm not sure of the name of this fun fold but see how the circle die-cuts are entwined? One is adhered to each side of the front folds.

• Beautiful Winter Meadow card; a great layout to use those extra pieces

  November 17, 2023

  ---

  The Winter Meadow designer paper & the Magical Meadow stamp & dies bundle are among my favorites from the 2023 Holiday catalog. Pretty products produce pretty projects!  Say that three times! Ha! 

  Save

  I was playing with the designer paper and had these two pieces among the scraps in my paper pack. I simply added a layer of Blueberry Bushel card stock to one piece and added them to the White card base offset from each other for balance.  Easy peasy! 

  Measurements:

  • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
  • DSP 1 piece at 2 1/2" X 4" and 1 at 2" X 4 1/4"
  • Blueberry Bushel 2 3/4" X 4 1/4" 

  Save

  Of course the pretty dies help a lot too. The greeting label is from the Nested Essential dies seen here and the leaves are both from the Magical Meadow bundle seen here.  

  Save

  Next I added a greeting layer – heat embossed with Silver embossing powder & my Heat Tool.  Adding the White & Silver mesh ribbon in loops under it sure gives a great finishing touch! To add the loops of ribbon I created them and pressed them to the back of my greeting, after I added some Seal tape runner of course.  

  Save

  I saw that this beautiful Winter Meadow designer paper is in low inventory; grab it while you can here.

• Last day of the Seasonal Stock up Sale! Meandering Meadows surprise Accordion card with free project sheet & video

  November 16, 2023

  The Meandering Meadows designer paper is gorgeous with it's water-colored scenes.  I shared three card ideas on last week's live video.  

  This one is actually a fun fold card.  It sure doesn't look like it though!

  Save

  I used a wide strip of Blueberry Bushel and a narrow strip of Balmy Blue on the front. The designer paper is actually most of the front of this card. Here's the inside view: 

  Save

  See how the back of the front layer of designer paper is revealed here?  There is a full 11" X 4 1/4" piece of accordion folded card stock between the front and back layers.  It's a very cool design that's also easy to make.  

  *Download or print the free project sheet here: Download Meandering Meadows surprise accordion card

  I really like how it shows both sides of our double-sided designer series paper.  It also gives you lots of layers to stamp or decorate.  I kept mine quite simple. 

  I used my favorite greeting set in the 2023 Holiday catalog; So Sincere.  See it here. It's a gem! The tag die-cut is from the Tailor Made Tags seen here. 

  Save

  You can see a glimpse of each sheet in the photo below.  It's 6 X 6" in size and filled with watercolor scenes. This type of designer paper allows you to let the pretty scenes do the work for you. Click here to see it.
