I used the Floral Delight designer paper here along with the Floral & Gingham Vellum too. The center piece is the vellum – the blue gingham and the yellow flowers on the right card. I used our Multipurpose Liquid glue to adhere it and it didn't show a bit! Use a very light hand for success here.
Here's how the card opens. There's an extra score line on the front of the card that allows the center to fold back. It's really simple but you may need to watch the video here to catch on.
Here's a look at how the card base is made without the front panel added. The upper & lower corners are simply cut off at 1". So simple with a surprising effect!
Her colors include Melon Mambo, Black & White. Those scalloped circle dies are so fun aren’t they? The leaf die-cuts are from the Delicate Whispers dies seen here.
Next is a striking card made by Joan: She chose to highlight the Scenic Coast DSP.
Super cool! To make this card you’ll start with a 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ card base, scored at 4 1/4″. Now use the paper trimmer to cut up to the score line on each side at 1 1/4″. The DSP is 2 3/4″ X 4″ and on the sides it’s 1″ X 4″. There’s also a lower and an upper strip that is 5 1/4″ X 1″.
Great cards ladies! I’ll share more later this week.
May Specials:
I have one Mystery Box left! The first person to place an online order from me over $100 will receive it. It has over $200 in Stampin’ Up! products in it and I’ll ship it to you FREE! Order here.
Even if they don’t have a ‘Sale’ icon most are still reduced in price. My kits include about $20 in SU product plus the 10-12 pre-cut cards! Most only need greeting images added. You will need adhesives, ink and a paper trimmer to cut the DSP in most cases.
These are a steal of a deal!
They’re so fun to create with and many come with both PDF & video tutorials too. Most will include fun fold layouts and you’ll find new ways to create with my unique layouts.
We held out Team card swap Saturday and I want to share some of these awesome swaps they made. Our theme was to use new catalog products. This swap was ‘shoebox’ style so we made each other’s cards in person. I love shoebox swaps!
Tracey created this special card using the new Peaceful Pine in color. She paired it with Cloud Cover and Berry Burst here.
Look at that stamped panel; it is NOT designer paper! She stamped it because she loves to create with our stamps. And she finds it fun to create unique color combos too. She used the stamps from the Boutique Blossoms bundle seen here.
The Heirloom Boutique suite is one that Stampin’ Up! says will remain current for a year! I love knowing this; it helps when you join swaps and post projects for customers.

Her card is a spinner card using Baker’s Twine. It’s fun to set up a card like this so when the recipient removed the card from the envelope the circle spins. You simply wind it up before inserting it in your envelope. So cool!
We added stamped & punched butterflies all over this card; using the newest In Colors. The inside polka dot DSP panel is from the new Painted Patterns 12 X 12″ DSP seen here.It’s available in most of our color families!
Before the string is added to the crease of the fold you’ll cut the larger circle from the front. She has so many layers on her card; it can be tricky to get the circle die-cut ‘cut’ through the layers. We ran it back and forth the Cut & Emboss machine but it did cut!
It’s an amazing card Kim!
