New Product Sneak Peak; the incredible Sun Prints suite!


Today I'm sharing a pretty card made with two new In Colors, a new stamp & die bundle, embossing folder, ribbon and Designer Paper!  Whew! 

The new In Color I used here is called Orchid Oasis.  The greeting and one fern image are stamped with another new In Color called Starry Night.  They coordinate beautifully!  

This card is a sketch my Flowerbug's Team is currently creating with.  We have bi-monthly challenges of sketches or color combos with prize patrol.  I thought this sketch would work well with some of our brand new product. 

The Nature's Prints stamp set comes with beautiful ferns, leaves, a flower, an ink splat and gorgeous mixed font greetings. It will be super popular!  In fact I may feature the Sun Prints Designer Paper in a card kit to go in May; I love it so much!  

It's hard to see the fern background on the White layer here.  I sponged a bit of Orchid Oasis ink onto the textured fern CS.  I wrapped the new 1/8" Orchid Oasis metallic trim around it and added a bow on the right; just like the sketch above.  The white embellishments are the Classic Matte dots in the current Jan-June mini catalog. 

You can see a peak of the pretty Sun Prints Designer Paper in the background.  It is filled with botanical prints in Navy, Pacific Point, Starry Sky & Gray Granite.  I'll share more projects featuring this suite next week.

  • Easiest way to create a scene; the Oceanfront stamp set!


    Making swaps with a 'water theme' for my Flowerbug's Team was my first play with the Oceanfront stamp set seen here. I found out how easy it is to create a beautiful scene with just 4 stamped images.  

    My colors include Pool Party, Balmy Blue, Black & Sahara Sand.  

     

    The Pebbles Enamel Shapes embellishments are so perfect for the faux stones on the beach.  They were unavailable for quite awhile but they're now back! 

    The greeting & Palm tree are from the Paradise Palms bundle seen here.  It pairs wonderfully with the Oceanfront stamp set.  

    The Diorama dies make this card even more unique.  I added Stampin' Dimensionals to the outer 'frame' of the scene and adhered the center down flat. This reveals just a bit of the Black layer and gives dimension or depth to the scene.  

    Using the Stamparatus helped make these 14 swap cards quick work!  I love that we can reverse the plates on our Stamparatus so I could stamp all 4 images; one on each side of the 2 plates.  

    I think these cards are a great 'guy' card or for those who love the beach.

  • Stack & Cut card technique; make 4 quick cards with your Designer Paper


    On tonight's FB Live we're making Stack & Cut cards!  Monday, April 25th at 7:30 pm here on my FB page.  

    If you can't watch it live it will be on my YouTube channel here. 

    I chose to use the Heart & Home designer paper and the Blessings of Home stamp & dies bundle (seen here) for these pretty cards.  This designer paper is retiring at the end of May. I like the fact that each sheet has a white wood pattern on one side. 

    Here's now to make these Stack & Cut cards:  Choose 4 different patterns of Designer Paper and then cut them into pieces using the template below.  

    Sort the pieces so one piece of each pattern fits on each card front.  You'll create 4 different but similar cards quickly!  Embellish as you'd like.  

    Here's a photo of the pieces I started with.  

    • 4 full cards of Pale Papaya – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
    • 4 Garden Green pieces at 4" X 5 1/4"
    • the 16 pieces of Designer Paper – cut from the 4 pieces of DSP you started with

    Here's the template I used for the 4 pieces of Designer Paper.  Choose patterns that coordinate in color.  I love this way of using our beautiful double sided designer paper!  

    Tip: it's best if the patterns have a variety of sizes in their patterns.  

    The Flowers of Home dies (seen here) are delicate with many leaves & flower options. 

    Join me here tonight at 7:30 pm CT to see how easy it is to make 4 quick cards with the Stack & Cut technique.

  • Artfully Layered birthday card with video


    Here's another pretty card I made during last week's FB Live. I featured the Artfully Layered bundle from the Jan-June Stampin' Up! catalog.  

    The colors include Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green with White.  I used three different dies in the Tropical Layers dies.  The rick-rack border, the leaf and the crosshatch texture. See the bundle here.   

    The greeting is heat embossed on the Coastal Cabana CS strip using White embossing powder.  Adding heat embossing to your project steps it up a lot! 


    Tip: get two colors from one ink pad. Note the two shades of Coastal Cabana on the leaves on the lower left of the card?  I stamped off for the multiple leaves image once for a lighter hue. 

    The Faux Sea Glass Shapes are back in stock!  Get them here. 

    To see how I made the pretty leaf cards on the upper right click here.  Or watch the video here.
