• Plentiful Plants Cards

  June 14, 2021

  ---

  I took some time to play with the new Plentiful Plants bundle last week and came up with these cards: 

  

  Can you believe that both the brick, the pots and leaves are all cut from the designer paper?  I did stamp the plant on the left but the others are all die-cut from the Bloom Where You're Planted DSP. I love when Stampin' Up! gives us paper and dies that coordinate.  

  

  The bottom Soft Succulent CS is made with the Stitched Leaves die; one of my new favorites!  See it here.  

  ~~~

  This next card also features the Bloom Where You're Planted DSP. 

  

  Each of the three plants & pots are from the DSP except for the bowl in the center.  That is a die-cut made from Cinnamon Cider CS.  I placed them on a die-cut from the Hippo & Friends dies.  I sponged the bottom with Cinnamon Cider ink.  

  This card is 4 1/4" X 11" and scored at 1 1/4" and 6 3/4".  The right flap is glued down and has a 1" X 4" Soft Succulent strip adhered to it.  It was textured with the Macrame 3D embossing folder seen here. 

  

  You can see this suite here.

• Bright Color Combo card with the new Watercolor Shapes set

  June 11, 2021

  ---

  I have lots of creative challenges for my Flowerbug's Team and this time it was a color challenge featuring Night of Navy, Magenta Madness & Granny Apple Green.  Fun, vibrant colors I knew would be fun to play with. 

  

  I cut off an inch from the right edge of my Navy card and added a strip of Granny Apple Green DSP on the inside edge.  

  I chose to use a stamp set that I hadn't used yet; Watercolor Shapes seen here.  

  

  I stamped the watercolor shapes all over the 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" White CS but I did stamp off first for a lighter hue.  The greeting stands out more then. 

  I found a 'hello' greeting in each of the following stamp sets; Blossoms in Bloom, Create with Friends, Timeless Tropical, Sweet as a Peach, Artistically Inked & Sweet Strawberry.  I had no idea we had that many 'hello's' in our sets! 

  What do you think of this color combination?  

  

  I stamped a few of these images twice and fussy cut them so I could add some dimension to the card front.  I also added the new In Color Square Gems and a few of the Clear Epoxy Essentials that I colored Granny Apple Green with a Blends marker.

• Inked Embossing Folder technique; it’s SO pretty!

  June 10, 2021

  ---

  I decided to play with an old favorite technique where you add ink directly onto an embossing folder 'before' you run it through the die-cutting machine.  I shared how on the FB Live video here.

  This first card features the Polished Pink CS & ink.  

  

  I used two new products in our 2021-22 Annual Catalog; the Pretty Embossing folder and the Create with Friends stamp set seen here.  That pretty die-cut label is from the Potted Succulents dies seen here. 

  This Pretty Embossing folder seen here is my free giveaway for online orders over $50 this month (before tax & shipping) using the host code seen below.  

  I made one in each of our newest In Colors; Evening Evergreen, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent and the Polished Pink. 

  

  I shared a video with other techniques using the Pretty Embossing folder my FB Live here.  Or click on the photo/link below.

  

  I cannot stop playing with these fabulous new In Colors.  They are my absolute favorite grouping for many years!  And that ribbon!!! See the entire new 2021-23 In color line here. 

  

  Measurements:

  • White card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
  • Evening Evergreen CS 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"

  

  *Below is the video to see how to do this and get my tips on being successful.
