Lots of Whimsical Trees card ideas; with video!

I played with the Whimsical Trees bundle on last week's FB Live.  You can watch the video here. 

The Whimsy & Wonder specialty paper coordinates with it too.  And it's back in stock too!

I kept to the colors in the Whimsy & Wonder DSP for my card projects.  Mostly Mossy Meadow, Mint Macaron & Polished Pink. I made the lower left card ahead of time and the right  during the Live video.  Look at the detail on these die-cuts!  So many choices!

Every tree and accent was die-cut using the Whimsy & Wonder DSP, Silver foil paper & Mint Macaron CS. The tag is from the Tags & More set of dies seen here.  The embossing folder is called Wintry 3D and it comes in a pair seen here.

I wanted to include some silver embossing for the ornaments card and used an entire panel of the pretty Specialty Paper on the card front. I pulled in Mint Macaron & Polished Pink from the DSP and coloring to coordinate.  That's my favorite thing about Stampin' Up! – our color coordination.  No more shopping for things that match!

This card below is probably my favorite of the three.  I die-cut a white tree from my card front (4 3/4" X 3 1/2") and sponged it with Polished Pink ink.  Then I added a piece of designer paper behind the window and offset the sponged tree. 

What a neat but quick Christmas card this would be!

The 2021-23 In Color gems add a bit of bling to the popped up tree.   The greeting is from the Frosted Gingerbread stamp set.

  • Colorful swap cards with Pattern Party hostess paper

    This weekend we held our monthly Flowerbug's Team swap and the theme was to make cards with yellow.  It could be a lot, or just a little.  We thought it was a great 'summertime theme'.  I'm so proud of their cards; they are all quite talented!  

    This first card was made by Barb.  She used the Back on Your Feet stamp set, the Basic Border & Meadow dies.

    I just love how she colored the giraffe the same colors as her designer paper!  What a well coordinated card!  I believe she used our amazing Blends markers for coloring.   And look at her inside!  She used the extra die-cut edges to decorate the inside to match!

    Next is Mary's card featuring the same Pattern Party designer paper.  You can only get this paper with hostess rewards. You can see it on page171 of the annual catalog; or click here.  

    She used the Tailor Made Tags and the Biggest Wish stamp set.  She also colored her clear rhinestones with a Blends marker before adding them to the tag.

    I'll share more of our swap cards tomorrow!

  • Right Behind You; so cute!

    I chose the Right Behind You stamp set for my Flowerbug's Team swap this month.  Here's my card:

    This set is adorable!  And it has such fun greetings to go with the tandem bicycle as well. Click here to see it.

    Details:

    • I used the 'ground' image to create grass by stamping it numerous times.
    • I used the Basic Border dies seen here to sponge the clouds.  Get my tips on this in the video below or click here. 
    • I used a mask to add the puppy in the basket. 
    • The greeting die-cut is from the Messages die. 
    • I used Stampin' Blends to color in the images.
    • I added a Metallic pearl to the spokes in the bicycle. 
    • The sun is simply sponged in the corner with Daffodil Delight ink.

    As you can see it's an easy fun fold card.  Simply add one extra score line to your normal A2 card.  Score the 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" Crushed Curry card at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4".  The Basic Gray is 3 7/8" X 5 1/8" and the White is 3 3/4" X 5".

    I added grass and flowers to the inside to pull it all together.

  • Pinwheel Tower fun fold cards are easy but a sure WOW!

    I shared this super fun card on Tuesday's FB Live video.  The video is shown below.  Or click here to watch on my FB page.  Don't forget to follow me so you are notified when I go live. 

    Pinwheel Tower Sweet Simmetry . Save

    I used the Sweet Symmetry designer paper and the In  Symmetry stamp set.  Colors are Night of Navy, Just Jade, Calypso Coral, Bumblebee and Flirty Flamingo.  I also used Holiday rhinestones for the bling. 

    This has to be one of the easiest fun fold cards I've made that's also totally unique. And it uses an exact 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" piece of card stock. On each panel you can add a perfect layer (2 1/2" X 4") or have fun adding various pieces of CS or DSP and greetings or stamped images.  

    Here are the measurements for you:
