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"

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)

• Look at this! Ornate Borders wow!

  April 13, 2020

  ---

  This is one of the cards I made for everyone who orders the Ornate Thanks bundle (or the Ornate Garden Suite) from me this month. 

  I used THREE of the Ornate Border dies for this card! 

  Save

  It's Blueberry Bushel with White accents.  I will sure miss this color!  It will be retiring in just 9 days!  Be sure to get any of the 5 retiring in colors while you can. Once the list comes out on April 22nd they go very fast.

  Isn't that border die amazing?  And so simple too. The Blueberry Bushel card starts out as usual at 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4".  Then I used the detailed floral border die on the lower edge. *save a few of the leaves for the flower accent in the corner. 

  I used the dotted border die on the lower edge of the White card stock.  Stamp your greetings and add the ribbon and bow. 

  Next cut out the third detailed floral die-cut from a strip of White card stock.  Trim off just a little section of the flowers to add to the upper left corner; with a few of the extra leaves from the lower edge die-cut. 

  Save

  Adding a White layer inside the card for stamping and/or writing your message highlights the gorgeous floral trim on the front.  

  This is just one of the FREE 3 cards you'll receive from me when you purchase either the Ornate Thanks bundle OR the entire Ornate Garden Suite from me this month.  See it all here in my online store.

  And remember that all online orders over $55 in April will receive a free Simple Shammy from me too! Details below.

• Welcome Easter; three adorable card swaps!

  April 10, 2020

  ---

  I received these cards in a long distance swap I participated in.  Unfortunately their labels came off so I don't know who made two of them so I cannot give credit.  So if you know of if it's yours please let me know!

  They're so adorable I just had to share them with you! You can see this stamp set here:

  I love this peek-a-boo bunny here!  Yes; it's fussy cut.  There aren't dies for it.  She used Highland Heather and our Subtles designer paper.  I really like how she die-cut a circle from the square, flipped it over to reveal the reverse side of the designer paper. Very cool!  See all of our packages of 6 X 6" designer paper here. 

  Save

  That thin strip of Best Dressed designer paper adds a spring-like touch to it!  The sequins are from our Adhesive Backed package. 

  Save

  I know Karen Titus made this one. I just love her water-coloring!  Adding that bit of light gray or tan with a Blends marker adds so much depth!  

  The White is 2 5/8" stitched square from the Stitched Shapes dies.  The other colors are Seaside Spray, Gray Granite, Petal Pink and Soft Seafoam and are 1 3/4" square.  This layout really highlights the main image. 

  Have a wonderful Easter weekend!

• April’s card kit to go

  April 9, 2020

  ---

  I chose to use the Well Dressed designer paper for my card kit to go this month.  This paper is full of stylish images and soft florals.

  This month's kit includes 4 unique fun-fold cards but you get two of each!  Plus I added an adorable pre-cut bag filled with mini cards too!  Look! 

  Save

  Each card is finished differently giving you lots of options! This kit to go includes $20 in product plus more!

  • a full package of the 6 X 6" Best Dressed designer series paper seen here. 
  • 1 full spool of Mint 3/8" satin ribbon
  • a full package of Pearl jewels
  • a pdf tutorial for all 8 fun fold cards plus the purse and mini cards
  • the pre-cut kit!  It includes pre-cut, punched and die-cut pieces ready to stamp and assemble.
  • You'll cut your own designer paper using the measurements in the tutorial. 

  Save

  
  

  I used the Dressed to Impress, Butterfly Gala and Peaceful Moments stamp sets to finish mine.  In the tutorial I give you two examples of each card so you can make either or both.  Add on either stamp set or bundle at a 10% discount! 

  You have two choices: get the pre-kit to go which includes the pdf tutorial.  Or opt to purchase the pdf tutorial alone. 

  You can see and purchase both here on my Tutorial Shop.  Be sure to opt in by Friday, April 17th! 

  Here are some comments from happy customers: 

  • Your directions are always so easy to follow and your projects are unique.
  • Wow!  That was slick!  I’m sure I will be ordering more from you in the future.
  • I absolutely LOVE your cards and can't wait to get my fingers inky!!
  • I just received the March card kit and love it!  Please sign me up for the monthly kits. 
  • LeeAnn, I purchased this class last Sunday.  I made all the cards, and had a great time.  I loved all the different folds and color choices.  Thanks for making my week!
