Poetic Expression fun fold swap card

March 22, 2024

Last week I shared this image on Facebook. It was a bit of a tease to guess what the finished card would be like.

It has Pool Party, White, Lost Lagoon and some Poetic Expressions designer paper (retiring in April).

It also shows the greeting die-cut from the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid embossing folder seen here. I feel like it makes my greetings extra special. They're a pretty font and give texture and dimension to your projects. (I shared how to use this folder here in a video.)

And that is the finished card. I made 12 of these for an organized fun fold swap. I am a huge fan of monochromatic cards and these colors are at the top of my favorites list.

The tag is from the Something Fancy dies seen here. I love the many label & greeting shapes this set has.

Here's the inside view.

Measurements are so simple! Once you cut off the end of the card front you flip it 90 degrees and use it as the front layer.

Card base – 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2"; cut off one end at 2 3/4"
DSP – 1 piece at 2" X 4", 2nd piece at 4" X 3"
Inside White 5 1/4" X 4"

Here's the inside view. This greeting is from the Simply Zinnia set seen here.

Delicate Dahlias with Poppin’ Pastels technique

August 12, 2021
This weekend I'm holding a technique class and this is one of the cards we're making. It features our new Soft Pastels and the Poppin' Pastel technique.

Save

The stamps are from the Delicate Dahlias set that is currently free with a $100 order. It's a beautiful 2-step, photopolymer set that's also Dystinktive. This means it gives multiple hues of color with one inking; a process Stampin' Up! has created.

The outline images are stamped with Black Memento ink and the inside is colored with our new Soft Pastel chalks seen on page 126 or here in my store.

Tip: scrape off a bit of the chalk and use the powder. You'll achieve brighter colors.

You need Versamark ink for the solid stamped image. Next you add the chalk to the Versamark stamped image with sponge daubers. I daubed most of the color on but rubbed it in the center of the flower for a darker hue. The leaves are fussy cut and added separately.

Measurements:
- Poppy Parade 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
- Beautifully Penned DSP seen here (free now during Sale-a-Bration) 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
- White 3 " X 3 1/2"; inside is 4" X 5 1/4"
- Black 3 1/4" X 3 3/4"

Delicate Dahlias with a 2-toned color technique

August 11, 2021

Here's a card I made for an online swap I participated in. I needed to use an item from the new Sale-a-Bration catalog and the Delicate Dahlias stamp set was my first choice of sets.

It has a large dahlia along with a smaller flower image as well. And both are 2-step stamps with outline and solid, dystinktive images to match. It also has two sets of leaves and 4 wonderful greetings as well!

Save

The triple-rectangles frame is a die-cut called Picture This dies. You get 2 dies in the set; a set of rectangles and one of circles. What I love most about these dies is that you can use both; the small stitched pieces OR the large frame! See it here in the online store.

Save

Can you see the multiple hues of colors on these flowers? I inked the large solid dahlia in Pale Papaya ink first. Then with a sponge dauber I added Calypso Coral ink on the outside and the center. Then huff and stamp. Clean between each inking. The small flowers are stamped in Calypso Coral ink and fussy cut.
