Lots of Whimsical Trees card ideas; with video!

November 9, 2021

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!

Save

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.

Save

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!

Save

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.

Power of Hope Bundle swap cards

February 18, 2020

I have a lot of swaps to show you this week. My Flowerbug's Team held a Sale-a-Bration card swap and the cards are amazing! Each day I'll share a few with you.

First up are two cards featuring the Power of Hope bundle from the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog. It's free with any $100 purchase. You receive both the stamp set and the Stone embossing folder. Look!

Save

Annette made this one; it's a gate-fold card with a faux lantern. She stamped and colored the image with Blends markers before adding texture with the Corrugated embossing folder seen here. She also rubbed her Black Memento ink pad over the texture to add a distressed look.

She achieved the lantern by cutting out a circle with the Circles Collection dies and adding strips of Real Red above and below. The top of the lantern is made with the Light Bulb punch. Both the silver foil and Real Red papers are textured with the Stone embossing folder.

Save

Audrey made the pretty card above adding Gold with her Red, Black and White colors. So elegant! The greeting is heat embossed. Look at what she did on the inside of the card! Unique and special.

You can see this bundle here in my online store.

Easy Pizza Box for Note cards!

February 17, 2020

Have you ever wanted to gift a bunch of cards but weren't sure how to package them? I have a solution for note cards.

Note cards are traditionally smaller than A2 size cards; usually 3 1/2" X 5". We have a few different note cards in our 2019-20 Annual catalog this year. White or Scalloped. You can find them on page 168. Or click here for the Scalloped.

Coordination Product Release – While supplies last!

Save

I have been playing with the new Pleased as Punch designer paper a lot and the colors fit these cute scalloped note cards. Look!

Save

The colors are Old Olive, Balmy Blue, Light Pink and Terracotta Tile. I used Calypso Coral ink on all of the cards; it is very close to Terracotta Tile.

I used just a few pieces of the DSP on each card and added the four punches that coordinate with the Pleased as Punch to embellish. They include the Heart Punch Pack, Blossom (SAB), Tulip and Umbrella. You can see them at the end of this post.

Save

This box is so easy to make and it uses just one 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock for the main box. The items I used are in the links at the end of this post.

Here are the measurements for the box:

Calypso Coral card stock: 7‐1/2" x 11"
    • score at: 1", 5", 6", 10" on the long side
    • score at: 1" and 6‐1/2" on the short side

Watch the video below to see how to assemble the box and make the cards too. Plus I share a bunch of our NEW Product Coordination items too!
