I just realized I hadn't shared this pretty card we made in September at my Card Clubs. It features the Nature's Harvest bundle seen here in the 2021 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog.
The colors include Bumblebee, Just Jade, White, Gold & Vellum. When I use vellum I always think 'Why don't I use it more?' It can be the perfect layer without adding 'too much'.
Details:
The Vellum card stock is embossed with the Timber 3D embossing folder.
The coneflowers are colored with Stampin' Blends markers.
That glitzy wheat stalk is part of the Harvest dies and from the Be Dazzling specialty paper that was available during Sale-a-Bration.
The greeting is from the Delicate Dahlias (Sale-a-Bration) stamp set on a Tasteful Label die-cut
Bumblebee card stock 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" • Vellum CS 3 3/4" X 5" • White scraps for circle, greeting and flower • Be Dazzling paper scrap for stems • Penguin Playmates DSP 1 1/2" X 4 1/4"
The Last Chance Sale starts Tuesday!! The Stamparatus is already low inventory!
Tuesday starts our big Last Chance sale on both the Annual and Spring (January-April) catalogs. However things are already selling out! I wanted to give you a heads up on my favorite tool.
One of the biggest shocker on the retired lists is our Stamparatus seen here. It's already in low inventory!
I am SO SAD that it is retiring. You may wonder why because it's an amazing stamping positioning tool. There are some copyright & legal issues happening that is forcing Stampin' Up! to take it out of their product offerings.
This means the magnets, grid paper are leaving as well. So if you don't have a Stamparatus yet; get one today! And if you do, I suggest getting a set of magnets herewhile you can. They're half off starting Tuesday, April 4th.
Here's a video showing you the benefits of a Stamparatus.
And here's another one below on hinge step stamping.
Easter Bunny Floating Panel card with a free project sheet & video tutorial!
We made this sweet card at my March Card Clubs – it features the Easter Bunny bundle. This bundle is currently unavailable. you can get the Easter Bunny stamp set now but the Bunny punch is returning in May.
It's a Floating Panel fun fold card; one of my current favorite folds lately. It's both fun to make and easy to create too!
My colors include Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss and Daffodil Delight. Below you'll see the baby version. I gave my gals the choice of Easter or baby.
Card base 4 1/4" X 11" score at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2". Scraps for bunny & circle punch. Two strips 1/2" X 1 1/2" for the floating panel hinges • DSP pieces four pieces at 1 1/4" X 4" • White front square 2 3/4", inside 5 1/4" X 4" • Blackberry Bliss square 2 7/8" • Greeting strips 3/4" X 3 1/2"
Here's a tip on the Floating panel: You need just two pieces of card stock about 1/2" X 2 1/2". Fold them in half and adhere to the center fold; one on each side. Your front panel is adhered to this.
*Watch the video below (or click here)where I share the tips on creating this card; it's the second project of 4!
Can you spot the shimmer? I used the Pearlescent paper from the Annual Catalog. See it here.
It was the perfect sheen for this technique as the moist ink did not absorb quickly like it might for regular card stock. Glossy paper would also work well.
After I added the color, I let it dry for an hour or so. Then I textured it with one of the embossing folders in the 3D Basics pack seen here. These are currently out of stock but they'll be back in May.
Below you can see the difference in my cards; especially the colors. One is soft and subtle and the other more vibrant. This happens as you work with your baby wipe; the first few swipes are bold and the next few are much softer.
Tips for success:
Fold and roll your baby wipe in a tube. Hold it tightly and add a few drops of ink refills.
Add each color separately in a row. I tend to add enough for about 1/2" of surface.
Start swiping off your paper and then onto it. You can do straight swipes or get creative and add curves or swirls. Let dry.
Shimmery, pearlescent or glossy works best. But you can do it on regular card stock too.
Notice the colors of the butterflies? I colored the Brass Butterflies with a Polished Pink blends marker for the left card. I wasn't sure I liked it or not so left them uncolored for my swap cards.
