Perched in a Tree Explosion card with video tutorial!

August 15, 2022

I can't stop using the Aspen dies! I absolutely love this tree die-cut!

Did you know these dies are free during August with our Sale-a-Bration promotion? Any $100 Stampin' Up! order and they're yours free!

Save

I created this card on last week's FB Live video. You can watch it here.

For the card front, I simply added a layer of the Rings of Love DSP behind it for a soft background. You can keep it this simple or create your own background!

However I made the inside of the card extra special with an Explosion fold. These look so difficult to do but honestly they're not! Please watch the video; afterwards you'll want to make one!

Save

The left card has the Rings of Love DSP and the card on the right features the Storybook Gnomes designer paper. For greetings I used the Soft Seedlings & Perched in a Tree stamp sets.

Save

I also shared an easy ribbon trick in the video; if you have trouble with bows I hope you watch.

Artistic Dies & sponging; super simple but WOW!

May 14, 2021

I couldn't decide which to use behind the sponged die-cut so I made both White & Black. You can see that video here from Tuesday's FB live earlier this week.

Which one do you prefer?

Save

The reviews were mixed. Most prefer the Black because the colors pop more. But others liked the White for a softer look.

The card bases are Pale Papaya and Polished Pink. The strips are Pear Pizzazz. I used sponge daubers in Pear, Papaya, Fresh Freesia and Polished Pink to add color to the pretty die-cut. See these dies here and the bundle here.

Save

The pretty scalloped die-cut is from the Scalloped Contour dies seen here. The oval is from the Double Oval punch.

Below is the video where I demo'd this card. Don't forget to follow my FB page here and my YouTube channel here so you won't miss anything!

Can you tell which is stamped and which is Designer paper?

May 13, 2021

I made these on FB live this week using the Expressions in Ink suite. Can you tell which background is stamped and which is Designer Paper?

Save

My top favorite suite in the new Annual catalog is the Expressions in Ink. See it here or on page 96-97. It's filled with stamps & paper that mimic alcohol ink backgrounds. Toss in the beautiful gold accents and it's stunning!

Save

Here's a close up of the card. Can you tell if I stamped it or if it's designer paper?

Save

Yes; I did stamp it! These images are so neat! I can see lots of uses for both the greetings and the faux alcohol ink stamps. See how in the video below. Mmm; I think I'll try a one sheet wonder with these…..!

And look at the leaves die-cuts! I cut them from In Color Shimmer Vellum & Gold Foil paper. The tag is from the Tailor Made Tags dies.

Here's the FB Live replay video. Sorry the text isn't flipped so you can read it. FB changed their settings and the tool icon is gone.

Inspired Thoughts Bundle; a beautiful scene

May 12, 2021
I created this card for an online swap I participated in last month. I just love it!

The main 4 trees die-cut can be cut apart which opens a whole world of possibilities!

Save

Here's how I made it:
1. Die-cut the trees and hill using the Inspiring Canopy dies (seen below).
2. Cut the 4 trees apart at the bottom connection point. Set aside.
3. Sponge clouds using Pool Party ink onto the 4" X 5 1/4" Basic White CS. I used the Basic Border dies (cloud).
4. Sponge Calypso Coral ink onto the bottom third of this piece.
5. Adhere the trees to the edge of each side.
6. Add the hill piece; trim off excess from hill and trees. Adhere to the Calypso Coral card base.
7. Finish with Genial Gems.
You can see the beautiful Inspired Thoughts bundle here.
