In Color bundle special offer ends May 1st!

Each year with the new in colors release I offer my customers a special In Color Bundle.  I include lots of items so you have perfectly coordinating products to create with. 

I created these CUTE cards with all 5 new In Colors and the Crafting with You bundle. 

Crafting with You in colors Save

I used many products that are included in my special bundle: card stock, ink, ribbons, dots and designer series paper.  They're a great example of all you can create when your products coordinate so perfectly. 

If you look closely you can see that I stamped a background in each color of ink using the new Cheerful Daisies stamp set. 

Crafting with you Boho Save

Look at the die-cutting machine; it even has textured paper going through it!  I did that by cutting a slit with my craft knife. The large white angled die-cut is made with the new Countryside Corners dies.

Everyone who pre-orders my In Color bundle will receive a free bonus of a ribbon share & In Color dots too!

  • Two background techniques on this pretty Kindest Expressions card

    I made this card for our June Team swap; our theme was to create our own background.  I went a bit overboard but had a ton of fun making these!

    Kindest expressions swap. Save
    It features these products from our Annual Stampin' Up! catalog:

    1. Kindest Expressions stamp set
    2. Paper Florist dies
    3. Countryside Corners dies
    4. Blending Brushes
    5. Artistic Mix Decorative Masks
    6. Embossing paste Matte finish
    7. Adhesive-Backed sequins trio

    Whew!  And I didn't even list the ink and paper!  My colors include Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist and Basic White.

    • I used Berry Burst ink and a Blending Brush to create an ombre background on my Bubble Bath card stock. I let that dry overnight. 
    • I then used a mask over this to spread White Embossing Paste with a Palette knife.  Even though my ink was dry it picked up the color and created an ombre look on the paste too.  I let that dry for a few hours.
    • Add the greeting and the Paper Florist dies seen here.  I can tell that I'll be using these dies a lot.  They're wonderful and make a huge variety of flowers.

    I LOVE how they turned out.

  • Check out this ‘Tackle box’ with the Gone Fishing bundle! Amazing!!

    Today I'm sharing the last projects Candace made with the Gone Fishing and Let's Go Fishing designer paper.  She was our Artist of the Month for June and created some incredible projects!  

    I was blown away by this 'tackle box' full of candy.  She told me she made it up herself!  AMAZING!! 

    Gone Fishing box Save

    She added gummy fish & worms, kisses, candy 'rocks' and nuggets inside.  I believe she first scored her box front then used the Gone Fishing large die to cut the windows for the front panel. Scoring first would help you center the die. Then she added the window sheet to the underside.  The window sheet holds the die-cut frame and the box front in place.

    Measurements for the box: *corrected

    • top of box 6 1/4 X 7 1/2" score 1" on all sides
    • bottom of box 6 1/8" X 7 3/8" score at 1" on all sides
    • window sheet 4 1/8" X 5 1/4" 
    • left inside divider (two compartments) is 1 7/8" X 6 3/4" score at 2 3/4", 3 1/2" & 4 1/4" 
    • right inside divider (three compartments) is 2 1/8" X  8 1/4" scored at 2", 2 3/4", 3 1/2", 5 1/8", 5 7/8" & 6 5/8" 
    • inside bottom (under the two divided sections) 5 1/4" X 5 5/8" score at 1 7/8", 2 5/8" & 3 3/8"

    Gone Fishing box Save

    To assemble this you'd add the long vertical divided piece first and then the two scored strips after that.  

    I made a birthday version of this box. You can watch the video here.

    GONE FISHING BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    This last card is another fun fold; she made lots of them in her array of cards.  

    Gone Fishing 1 Save
    It's a pocket card that could also include a gift card inside it. Be sure to note the rhinestone 'fish bubbles' on the sentiment.  

    Gone fishing 1a Save

    I love the wavy detail she added to the inside piece; it's from the Gone Fishing dies.

    Measurements:

    • Misty Moonlight card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 3/4" & 6 3/4"
    • DSP 5 1/4" X 2 1/2" for front, bottom layer is 5 1/4" X 1"
    • Vanilla inside pull-out is 4 1/2" X 3 1/2"

    And last but certainly not least is this fabulous shaker card:

    Gone Fishing shaker Save

    It's hard to tell but the colored and stamped panel is placed in one of our clear envelopes so she could add the new Iridescent shaker circles seen here. She added Boho Blue ink to the neutral card front using a Blending Brush, then stamped the greeting and leaves. She also fussy cut the fish from the Let's Go Fishing designer series paper and added them with Dimensionals. Then came the torn card stock layer and the bobbin and linen thread. 

    Now she placed the entire piece inside a clear envelope, folded over the excess and secured it with adhesive. Now she added the shaker circles from the top open edge before closing it off to seal.  Add it to your card base layers and you're done! 

    You can see these clear envelopes here.  I use them for card swaps, storing & protecting my finished cards and of course for easy shaker cards. They're $7 for 50 envelopes! 

    This is such a fun card to make AND receive! It's hard to stop shaking it!

    GONE FISHING BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    She was our Artist of the Month for June and chose this special bundle; so unique and perfect for the fishermen (and fisherwomen!).  See the Gone Fishing bundle here. 

    This first card is filled with layers and details – well all of them are really!  

    Gone Fishing 2 Save

    The colors include Misty Moonlight, Petal Pink and Pebbled Path.  She added Wink of Stella to the fish, and bobbin.  That fish is gorgeous. I love the wavy cut DSP at the top and her sponged sky.  And did you notice the rhinestone 'bubbles'?  

    Below is the inside of this card; she always adds details to her card inside layer. 

    Gone fishing 2a Save

    Next is a fun fold card where the center panel lifts up.  It's adhered to a 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" layer. 

    Gone Fishing 5 Save

    Her colors include Pebbled Path and Misty Moonlight with a bit of Vanilla and Boho Blue. 

    The folded panel is 3" wide X 8" tall and scored at 4". The DSP is 5 1/4" X 4" in the back and the front panel is 2 3/4" X 3 3/4"

    Next is a neat card featuring the Spiral Dye. She stamped it twice; once in Pool Party and once in Lost Lagoon.  

    Gone Fishing tie dye Save

    The Stitched die-cuts are from the Stylish Shapes dies. Notice that shiny paper banner?  That is the new Holographic Trio specialty paper on page 127 of the Annual Catalog.  

    I'll share more of her amazing projects tomorrow.  Don't miss the next set!
