We held our monthly team swap last week and I am proud to show off their talent with you. 

First is a pretty card made by Jane who featured the Softly Stippled designer paper seen here. 

Save

She also used the Deckled Circle dies, Something Fancy & Gorgeously Made dies, along with the Something Fancy stamp set for her greeting.  Love the colors of Wild Wheat with Lost Lagoon together! 

There are many possible color combos in this pretty designer paper. Most people pass by it in the catalog or online but in person the pretty colors and soft prints sell it!

This Softly Stippled DSP is one of the free choices during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. Earn it free with any $50 Stampin' Up! purchase. See it online here.

Next is a fun fold card made by Paula who also chose the Softly Stippled designer paper.

Her fun fold is a 'Joy fold' turned on it's side.  Very cool.  It's filled with textures and two coordinating colors of Wild Wheat & Calypso Coral which are the colors in the pretty designer paper. Her greeting is from the Softly Sophisticated bundle and the Double Oval punch is used too. 

Measurements:

• Wild Wheat – card base is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", middle layer is 3" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
• Calypso Coral is 4" X 8 1/2" scored at 5 1/4"
• White textured layer is 3"X 3 3/4" (done with Basics 3D embossing folder) & inside is 2 3/4" X 4"

Next is a beautiful monochromatic card made by Candy who chose to use the Softly Sophisticated bundle seen here.  It includes both a stamp set & the pretty embossing folder used here. 

Save

Her colors are Very Vanilla with Pecan Pie.  That main scenic image is from the Quiet Reflection stamp set seen here.  It's a distinktive set which means it provides multiple hues of color when stamped with one ink. 

Measurements:

• Pecan Pie card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
• Vanilla 5 1/4" X 4", center is 3" square, scrap for greeting die-cut (Perennial Postage dies)

• A WOW fun fold card with Dragonfly Dreams!

  March 15, 2021

  ---

  This weekend my Flowerbug's Team held our monthly card swap & Team gathering.  Our theme was window cards and I'll be sharing them all week long!

  Check out this special Z fold card Jacki made!  

  Save

  Her colors are Terracotta Tile, Black & White and the Dandy Garden Designer paper seen here.  Did you know that the Dragonfly Punch coordinates with this Designer Paper?  She punched her dragonflies directly out of the paper!  No stamping for these at all! See the Dragonfly Garden bundle here. 

  Check out the whole suite of products here. 

  Save

  This card features almost two full card bases with just a few score lines. It looks a lot harder than it is.  

  • Terracotta Tile – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  • Whisper White – front is 4" X 5 1/4", inside fold is 5 1/4" X 8" scored on the long edge at 4" X 6". 
  • Designer paper – 1 3/4" X 5" 

  Her 'window' in the front is 2 3/8" and the black circle on the inside fold is the same.  The White greeting circle is 2 1/8".  All of these circles are cut with the Circle dies in the Annual Catalog. 

  Steps to assemble this card:

  • You'll adhere the White front to the main card base and then cut your window. 
  • Stamp on the inside White card before adhering to the inside of the main card.
  • Add the Designer paper to the inside fold.
  • Die-cut the greeting circles and adhere together. 
  • Fold the card closed and add the circle to the inside fold 'through' the front window.  Perfect placement!

  More window cards posted tomorrow and all week long!

• Create gorgeous backgrounds with just a few common stamping items! Video tutorial!

  March 12, 2021

  ---

  On Tuesday's FB live I shared a fun and easy technique for gorgeous backgrounds.  Once you create them you can use them to create stunning, beautiful cards like these:

  Save

  This was my first try at this technique this week.  Honestly it's not a new technique at all but I hadn't done it for years! The stamp set is called Soar Confidently (seen here) and I hadn't used it yet.  I think it works wonderfully with a pretty background. 

  I used Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point Stampin' Write markers on an E block and spritzed with plain water.  Then 'stamp' on our Basic White CS and let dry with the block on it (this prevents warping).  Then stamp on it with any black ink.  

  Save

  Here are a few more samples I shared: 

  Save

  The left card above features the Dragonfly Garden stamp set and the right is the Floating & Fluttering set. 

  Save

  See what I mean?  And it's fun too!  Each time you do it they turn out differently so it's kind of addicting!  Watch the video below to see how easy it can be.
