Petal Park Sneak Peak from the Spring Catalog


This week I've been sharing some of the cards I made for online swaps I joined.  I hope you're enjoying the sneak peaks! 

Today I'm sharing a card made with a new stamp & punch bundle called Petal Park.  It includes a new flower trio punch from the Spring catalog. 

I chose to use the new Regency Park 6 X 6" designer paper; that's where I got the color combination of Balmy Blue, Night of Navy and Mango Melody.  I love them together!  

Measurements:

  • The card base is 7 1/2" X 5 1/2".  (I cut off 1" from a traditional 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base)
  • The designer paper is 1" X 5 1/4" on the inside right edge.  
  • white panel is 2 3/4" X 3 3/4"
  • Navy is 3" X 4" and the Mango strip is 1" X 4".  
  • The slanted die-cut greeting is from the Something Fancy dies

In the stamp set there are two sets of flowers – solid and outline.  Plus two sets of leave images as well; outline and solid.  I used both of the flower images, stamping them in Mango Melody & Balmy Blue.  Then just the outline leaves for a lighter background.  I did add some of the small dots in Mango all over the flowers & leaves.  

I curled the petals after punching so they had a bit more dimension to them.  I added pearls to the centers.  

The greetings are from another new stamp set called Kind & Sincere.  It has both large and small greetings so you can mix & match your words.  I love this one!  


Stay tuned for another sneak peak tomorrow!

  • Fun 4-Way Split Angled card idea; Live video tonight!


    We're making these fun but easy cards on tonight's Facebook Live.  It's at 7:30 pm CT here.  I hope you can join me!  If not it will be added to my YouTube channel here as well.  *Be sure to follow me on FB so you won't miss these lives! 

    Every 2nd & 4th Monday night's I host a 'Stamp with Me' live on Facebook where we create striking cards using Designer Paper or a fun technique.  If you're new to stamping you'll become more comfortable and efficient at it.  If you're a seasoned stamper you'll still enjoy it and get new ideas to create. 

    Tonight I'll share a version of this card; I'm calling it a 4-way Split Angled card. 

    The card above features the Abstract Beauty specialty designer paper in the 2022 January-June catalog by Stampin' Up!  It has splashes of color along with gold highlights.  See it here.  

    If you want to make one of these you'll need card bases, DSP or stamps & ink and a greeting or die-cut like I used here. 

    • card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored in half at 5 1/2"
    • Colored layer 4" X 5 1/4"
    • DSP or stamped layer 3 3/4" X 5" (for a wider split use 3 1/2" X 4 3/4") 

    The Amazing Thanks dies have quickly become a favorite of mine.  See those here. 

    The next example uses the Flowing Flowers stamp set in Calypso Coral, Pear Pizzazz and Daffodil Delight.  I stamped the images before I cut them in 4 pieces. 

    You might wonder – 'how do you cut these into 4 angled pieces?'  Honestly I cut from the top to the bottom first, just estimating my angled cut. Then I held the two pieces back together and cut from the bottom left to the right side. 

    It does not have to be perfect!  Honestly; just wing it; I dare you to do this without measuring.

  • Quick & beautiful cards for any occasion with the New Horizon suite.


    If your style is clean and simple I have the perfect card layout for you! Look at these gorgeous cards!

    I stamped a few of the images from the On the Horizon stamp set here.  I used the birds a lot!  They add a peaceful 'movement' to the card.

    I used a version of my 5 at a time template for the card stock layers for these cards.  I use this often for the inside of my cards; especially if I need a white piece.  When making multiple cards it sure is nice to get 5 pieces from an 8 1/2" X 11" sheet instead of just 4.  I get a lot of people who ask me about this template.  If you like it I suggest you save it and either print it out or save on your computer for easy reference.  

    If you look closely at the cards with the trio of trees on them you'll see a 'watery' reflection. It's so easy with this New Horizon Designer Series Paper.  I shared how in the video here. 

    The New Horizons paper is on low inventory at this time. If they run out the item will be shut off until they restock.  

    Here's how this simple reflection is done. 

    1. Stamp the tree on the horizon line using full ink.
    2. Do not ink again. 
    3. Turn the stamp upside down and simply stamp under the first image.  Easy, instant reflection.  

    Measurements:

    • White card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored in half at 5 1/2"
    • Designer paper 3" X 4 1/2"
    • Card stock layer 3 1/8" X 4 5/8"
    • greeting strips 5/8" X 3"

  • Waves of Inspiration scene with masking & blending techniques


    I made this card for an online swap I participated in last month.  When I create for a swap I tend to make a few different cards and decide which one I'll use for the swap.  Well once I made this one the decision was made!  

    Although after stamping, masking, blending and sponging over 20 cards I was regretting my decision! But I am proud of it so it was worth my efforts.  

    This card is part of my Waves of Inspiration kit to go this month.  I share how to make it in the video and it's also part of the pre-cut kit to go as well. 

    If you're interested in it please message me here by March 17th.
