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.

  • Beautiful stamped scenes & video with After the Storm set

    Since I cannot draw, sketch or paint I stamp.  My husband, Mom, sister and cousin have all painted beautiful scenes and I have many of them hanging in my home.  I think this is why I love creating stamped scenes.  Scene builder sets are some of my favorites; it truly makes me feel like an artist!  I made these cards on a recent FB Live. *video is posted below

    After the Storm all Save

    The After the Storm stamp set (seen here) is France Martin's Million Dollar Achiever stamp set.  It caught my eye right away.  I had a play with it one afternoon and created these cards. 

    After the storm scenes Save

    I'm sharing two today and will give the details on the other two tomorrow. 

    After the Storm Freesia Save

    You might wonder where I got the hills/mountain image.  Well it's the clouds stamp!  I love finding new ways to use stamps to create something beautiful yet unexpected! 

    The colors here are Fresh Freesia, So Saffron and Garden Green.  I used a direct to paper technique, swiping my ink pad across the White CS for the horizon.  I stamped the clouds using Fresh Freesia ink. 

    I did add just a bit of Pale Papaya ink at the top and swiped my White Craft ink pad across it at the end. 

    For this next card I used a totally different technique with the Blending Brushes.  

    After the storm sunset Save

    I used the following inks: Old Olive, Pool party, So Saffron and Calypso Coral. I used Blending Brushes for the Pool Party and So Saffron inks and for the sunset I used a sponge dauber for the Calypso Coral.

    Again I used the large cloud stamp to create the hills. 

    Below is the video for both of these cards & two more!

  • You’re a Peach fun fold swap card

    I actually love to create swap cards.  There's something rewarding about creating multiples of the same cards.  

    How do swaps work?  I know many people are curious….  You create one design and make multiples of it; usually for as many of that card as there are people in the swap.  Swapping saves so much time and you get samples using products you don't have to buy. There are so many benefits of swapping but for most of us, the main reasons are it's fun and to get samples we didn't have to design.  

    I have gals in my Flowerbug's Team that join just so they can swap! Right now the JOIN+ offer is so great I hope you'll consider it if you are not already a Demonstrator.  The value is incredible!  If you have a wish list over $150 you really need to consider this!

    I created the card below for a Flowerbug Team swap this month.  My gals can take part in our monthly swaps if they'd like to.  It's a great opportunity to get a variety of cards to use or share.  

    For this card I used the You're a Peach suite seen here.  It's on pages 60-61 in the Annual catalog. 

    Sweet as a Peach Save

    The card base is Pale Papaya and I added Balmy Blue, Pear Pizzazz, Calypso Coral and White accents. The greeting die is from the Tasteful Labels dies seen here.  I layered it with Pale Papaya CS. 

    You might wonder how I achieved the 'blushing' peach image.  I inked the three peaches (all on one stamp) in Pale Papaya and before I stamped I sponged on a bit of Calypso Coral on the outer edges of each. 

    Here's the sequence of stamping the main image:

    1. Stamp the leaves image twice on the White CS using Pear Pizzazz ink.  I stamped off once first. 
    2. Ink and stamp the peaches using the technique mentioned above.  
    3. Add Balmy Blue ink all over using Blending Brushes.  Be sure to use a light hand and start off of the card stock. 

    Here's a look at the inside: 

    Sweet as a Peach Save

    Measurements: 

    • Pale Papaya card base 5 1/2" square, score at 4 1/4"
    • Balmy Blue 4 1/4" X 3 1/4"
    • Whisper White – 2 pieces.  Front is 4" X 3", inside is 4 1/2" X 3 1/2"
    • You're a Peach DSP 1" X 5 1/4"

  • Beauty of Friendship Fun Fold card

    Finally I can share this beautiful fun fold card we made at my May Card Clubs!  

    I like to wait until after all of my Clubs are held so I can surprise them with the cards we're making.  I'm not sure why; it's just a habit now after many years of doing it that way!  

    I chose to use the Beauty of Friendship bundle (seen here) to make this unique 'Latch fold'. 

    BEAUTY OF FRIENDSHIP BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    I chose to use a few of our new In Colors; So Succulent & Evening Evergreen along with Pool party.  It sure created a pretty, almost monochromatic card.  Everyone sure loved it; which is always my goal!
