Masterful Monochromatic Floral Swap cards by my Flowerbugs

January 25, 2022

Today is the last of the pretty monochromatic cards my Flowerbug's gals made for our January swap. The theme was a challenge for some but others found it easy. Have you made a monochromatic card before? If not try it!

This first card was made by Tracey using the Meadow dies in Blushing Bride & White.

Save

There are so many beautiful details!

All of these flowers, butterfly & greeting dies are from the Meadow dies seen here. They're cut from White, Bushing Bride & Vellum CS
The texture is from the Bark 3D embossing folder seen here.
She sponged on one of the die-cuts and the textured piece too.
The greeting is heat embossed using White embossing powder

Next is a card made by Ginny using the Color & Contour bundle seen here. She chose to use the In Color Pale Papaya.

Save

The designer paper is from our 6 X 6" In Color assorted DSP pack seen here. Did you know we have patterned paper in each of our Stampin' Up! colors! I love how easy it is to coordinate our products with our color line. It just makes me happy!

Next is a card Candace made using the new Sale-a-Bration free bundle called Friendly Hello seen here.

Save

Here are the details:

Her colors are Blushing Bride & Flirty Flamingo. She stamped her flowers on both the greeting circle and the Blushing Bride card base.
She used the Basic Border dies to trim off the front edge for a stitched detail.
The striped DSP is on the inside of the card. It's from the Host Pattern Party DSP
She textured the larger circle with the new Gingham embossing folder.
The ribbon is our new Frayed White ribbon in the Jan-June catalog.

Quick Card template & cute Christmas treats & snowman tags

December 16, 2020
I shared a ton of Holiday projects on this week's FB Live. You can see the video below but here are the projects:

Save

I used the Brightly Gleaming Specialty DSP here along with Very Vanilla, Navy, Brass foil and Peacock CS. This pretty paper is on sale at 50% off! See it here.

This is one of the easiest layouts you can make that still has some layers to it. I like the card below best since you can stamp directly on the single layer and do not need a second greeting piece to stamp on like the cards on the left & right above. Measurements below:

Save

Easy Christmas card
- Main card – 8 ½” X 5 ½” or 4 ¼” X 11”, DSP – 3” square
- CS – 4 ¼” X 3 ¼”, Vanilla greeting layer is 7/8" X 3", Foil strip – ½” X 4”
Next I have a super cute candy box treat made by my friend Marilyn. She used the Celebration Label dies; they're 50% off now while supplies last! See them here.

Save

Celebration Labels Treat box
- Use the largest 2 dies. Center the CS die-cut at 6”; score at 5 3/8” and 6 5/8”
- Box is 2 3/8” X 5 1/8” scored at ½” on each edge
Save

Next is a fun candy bar pull up treat. I love making these since they're so quick & easy.

Save

Santa Pull Up Treat

Red CS 6 1/2" X 7" score at 3/8", 3/4", 3 1/2" and 3 7/8".

Black glitter belt 1" X 7"

This candy bar is in a thin card board box so I had to score it. Usually I just wrap the card stock around the candy bar and glue the edge overlapping each other. That one is a lot quicker.

Save

Lastly is a sweet snowman tag.

Save

It's a piece of Snowflake Splendor DSP and White CS both measuring 4 1/2" X 2" and tied together at the top. I used the Delightful Tag Topper & 2" circle punches here. The stitched nose is made with the Triangle dies. I drew Black 'stones' with a marker for his smile.

Below you can get the tips on putting these projects together. Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel here.

The Sweetest Border dies are so neat! I love how you get a solid edge but the detailed candy canes all in one.

What? Whisper White card stock is discontinued! Snowflake Splendor card & bookmark in a pocket

December 14, 2020
Sad news! Here's a message from Stampin' Up! regarding our favorite White card stock:

We are sad to announce that the supplier’s mill producing our Whisper White cardstock has permanently closed due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, we weren’t given much notice on this closure. This means that the technology unique to this particular supplier is now unavailable to us and we can no longer offer our Whisper White cardstock and related products, such as Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes. Please note that this won’t affect any of our other cardstocks, this only affects Whisper White.

We know Whisper White has a huge fan base; we’re big fans, too! And we are crushed that it’s going away. Even though this decision was out of our hands, rest assured that we jumped right into action to find the best replacement paper possible. We have dedicated many hours to source and test alternative cardstock options from several suppliers to find the perfect fit that still maintains the Stampin’ Up! quality you know and trust. We are happy to share that we have found a winner for our new cardstock, Basic White!

Our new Basic White products will become available to purchase as soon as we have them in stock. Additionally, due to the nature of sourcing, some Basic White products may not be available before the Whisper White products sell out. Please know that we are working on getting these products available to you as fast as possible.

Below is a list of all products that will be replaced with our new Basic White cardstock. These items are now available while supplies last with an order limit of 2 per item per order.
- Whisper White 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Cardstock (124302)
- Assorted Memories & More Cards & Envelopes (149710)
- Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes (131527)
- Whisper White 3" x 3" (7.6 x 7.6 cm) Envelopes (145829)
- Whisper White 8-1/2" x 11" Cardstock (100730)
- Whisper White 8-1/2" x 11" Thick Cardstock (140272)
- Whisper White Medium Envelopes (107301)
If you love any of these products I recommend you order them ASAP. Remember there is a limit of 2 per customer. Go here to order.

Here's a few sparkly projects featuring the Snowflake Splendor designer paper. I think I could play with this for the next few months! Here in ND we're usually in snow through March for sure and usually into April.

Save

For this card I simply cut a few snowflakes from the White panel and adhered it to the designer paper with Dimensionals. The greeting is heat embossed using White powder on a Highland Heather Stitched Nested Label and a swirl of Iridescent ribbon is added behind it.

This pretty paper is on the Closeout Sale happening now here. It's 30% off while supplies last. The Snowflake Wishes bundle is returning next year; I've used it a ton!

Today is the last day to get my Snowflake Splendor kit to go. It includes these same products: a half pkg. of this pretty paper, Iridescent ribbon and the pretty blue faceted gems plus 10 pre-cut fun fold cards. That's $20 in product AND the 10 pre-cut cards for just $28. Go here to get yours. Or get the tutorial here.

Save

Here are the directions for the bookmark pocket:
- Start with a 6” square for bookmark pocket; score lightly at 3”
- Fold the Designer Paper in half at the 3” mark. Then fold down the upper corner and glue down.
- Use Stampin’ Seal on the lower and right side edges to close the pocket.
- Punch the ends of the Highland Heather strip (1 ¼” X 8”, scored at 4) and adhere across the lower middle.
- Stamp the greeting in Pacific Point ink onto the White Nested label die-cut (1 ½” X 2 ¾” finished size). Add with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Add a few White snowflakes with Multipurpose Glue. Add a few Blue Gems.
- Stamp the greeting on the Bookmark using Pacific Point ink. Add some snowflakes in Highland Heather ink, stamping off first for a lighter hue
- Punch the upper end with the Fancy Tag Topper punch. Fold a 6” length of ribbon in half and insert the folded end in the front and pull the tails through the loop. Tighten carefully, one end at a time.
