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 Hydrangeas


    What colors do Hydrangeas come in?  Lots!  I have a white one in my yard; it's blooms are huge and beautiful every year.  

    Annette made this pretty card for a swap last month.  She used the Hydrangea Haven bundle seen here.  

    Her card is also a simple fun fold where the Real Red opens and adhered to the Black base.

  • Butterfly wobble & Bokeh technique with video!


    I'm excited to share one of my March Club cards with you.  This background is called the Bokeh technique. 

    Sponging a background is a big favorite of mine and when you add the Bokeh technique to it you get magic! I created my own dotted mask by punching a bunch of circles from a piece of card stock.  

    We made these cards at my March card clubs and they loved it!  I used the Vine Design stamp set as well as the Happy Thoughts set; both are retiring and on the Last Chance list here.  

    Measurements:

    • Pacific Point 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
      White sponged layer 3 3/4" X 5"
      White layer (under sponged layer) 3 7/8" X 5 1/8"
      White inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
      White greeting strip 1/2" X 5"

    I used Pretty Peacock, Pacific Point & Magenta Madness inks as well as the White Craft ink pad for the light colored dots.  You can see the video below.  It's so easy and amazing!

    The butterflies are created with the new Brilliant Wing dies seen here. They'll be in the upcoming Annual catalog but are available now too. 

    Here is the video; I hope you watch it.  This technique is so fun and unique every single time!  Think of the colors you could use!

  • Sweet Easter Baskets; Quick & Easy


    Need a quick project for Easter?  Or May Day?  Or to make something fun with a child?  This is it!

    I made these on a recent FB Live and it couldn't be easier!  

    Start out with a square of paper.  I chose to use White card stock for the one above since I wanted to stamp my own background with the Circle Celebration stamp set.  I chose to use Magenta Madness, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight and Balmy Blue.  

    I used a 5 1/2" square of White CS for it so I could get two baskets from one sheet of 8 1/2" X 11" paper.  Score it at 1 3/4" on all sides.  Cut up two sides and fold them up to form the basket.  Add a strip of CS for a handle and something fun on the side.  Here I used the Oval Occasions stamp set.

    For the butterfly basket on the right I used a 6 X 6" square of Butterfly Bijou designer paper.  Unfortunately this paper is sold out now.  They hoped to have enough through May but we all loved it so much they ran out!  I'm so sorry about that.  

    The 6" basket is just slightly larger than the 5 1/2" basket; both work wonderfully for holding treats! 

    You can see the video here.  It's a FB live replay; scroll towards the end to see the basket project.
