Perched in a Tree Explosion card with video tutorial!


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! 

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!

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.  

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

Measurements: 

  • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
  • DSP – 3 7/8” X 5 1/8”, inside is 8” square
  • Greeting strip 1” X 4”
  • White 4” X 5 ¼” & inside is 3 ½” square

  • Life is Beautiful with So Much Happy? Yes!


    Here are two more cards I created on a Facebook Live for Demonstrators last week.  It was such an honor to be asked to present cards highlighting my Million Dollar stamp set; Life is Beautiful.  

    Unfortunately I cannot share the video but I can share the projects! 

    Which one do you prefer?  Blues & purples or rainbow colors? Here they are separately: 

    I used Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana and Pool Party and stamped the Bokeh dots image. 

    Then I added the Happy die-cut across it at an angle.  I also cut a separate White CS strip to place under the Happy die-cut.  The 'to celebrate you' is from the So Much Happy stamp set stamped on a die-cut from the Ornate Frames dies. 

    Have you decided on your favorite yet?  

    I'll be sharing another card with my Life is Beautiful stamp set tomorrow.  Do you have yours yet?  If not go here to order!

  • Life is Beautiful Fancy Fold card with Plaid Tidings


    Check out this pretty fancy fold card in rich but unusual fall colors!

    The colors are Pumpkin Pie with Blackberry Bliss taken from the pretty Plaid Tidings designer paper seen here.  Stampin' Up! is amazing at color combination with the papers.  This versatile paper is on sale through October! 

    I created this on a recent Facebook Live. I'll share the dimensions for you here:

    Measurements:

    • Blackberry Bliss – 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" for back and 4" X 11" scored at 2" and 3 3/4" from each end
    • Pumpkin Pie 3 3/4" square
    • Very Vanilla – 2 pieces at 3 1/2" square plus a scrap for the die-cut
    • Plaid Tidings DSP – 2 pieces at 4" X 3/4" 

    Details:

    • I stamped the tree in Early Espresso and the leaves in Pumpkin Pie & Blackberry bliss, stamping off once or twice first. 
    • I added a few 'Sequins for Everything' among the leaves. 
    • The greeting label is cut with the Ornate Frames dies and sponged with Pumpkin Pie ink. 

    I hope you like it!  I'll be sharing lots more cards with my Life is Beautiful stamp set this week!  Do you have yours yet?  If not go here to order!

  • Have a Hoot Bundle; for Christmas!


    At first I thought this bundle was just for Halloween.  But when looking at the images provided it works wonderfully for Christmas too!  

    I made these cards on Facebook Live last week. I've been working with the beautiful Snowflake Splendor designer paper all week; it's simply gorgeous and in so many of my favorite colors!

    Here's the first one.  Did you know the Peek-a-Hoot dies cut out all 3 window at once?!  There's no measuring or figuring out placement at all.  You can see the video below.  

    I stamped directly onto the Snowflake Splendor designer paper here.  I love the pretty purple/blue background!  The two owls are die-cut using the same die set.  I added a bit of color to them with Blends markers and finished with a bit of Balmy Blue glimmer accents and Adhesive Backed Snowflake Sequins. 

    This next card uses two of the tags left when die-cutting the windows on the card above.  I did cut out one extra.  I stamped and colored directly on them. 

    Other details:

    • A glimmer die-cut star covers up the 'spider' on the center panel.  
    • The Highland Heather panel (4" X 5 1/4") is embossed with the Winter Snow embossing folder.
    • the 3/4" X 5 1/4" strip of Snowflake Splendor DSP is under the three stamped tags. 
    • The greeting tag is punched with the Everyday Label punch; start with a 1/2" white strip. Stamp and punch.
