Pretty Detailed Dogwood card swaps


Today I'm sharing a few swaps I received featuring the new Detailed Dogwood stamp set – one of the choices in the 2024 Sale-a-Bration catalog. 

Trayce Bauer made this stunning card using Bubble Bath, Granny Apple Green and Mossy Meadow.

She fussy cut the flowers out and added them to the Bubble Bath layer that has been embossed using the Softly Sophisticated embossing folder – also from our Sale-a-Bration selection.

I love how she added the dotted image to create a background on both the white layer and the greeting! The greeting die is from the Thoughtful Expressions dies.  

Below is a photo of the stamp set.  See it here online.

It's free with a $100 purchase from Stampin' Up! through February 29th when Sale-a-Bration ends.  

Next is a gorgeous card made by Angie Leach. 

She used a beautiful set of neutral colors – Pebbled Path, Wild Wheat, Mossy Meadow and Copper Clay. The large white die is from the Postage dies. Wow!

I love the layout. Adding a few strips below your main focal point adds balance and interest and ties the colors together too.

This last card is also a swap I received but I cannot give credit to the creator as there wasn't a name on it. 

Her colors of Black, Real Red and White are stunning! Note the simple stamped background on the large White layer, mimicking the main floral image.  That dragonfly is such a neat image. It does not coordinate with our Dragonfly punch unfortunately.

  • Gorgeous Abundant Beauty Kraft notecards with gift box


    I was inspired by this set of cards & box by a project shared online. I changed up the colors to 'my' favorites and created this:

    I absolutely LOVE the Abundant Beauty Decorative masks seen here! The sunflowers are my favorite of course, but I also used the houndstooth mask here as well. Unfortunately these masks are out of stock right now. They'll be back around November 13th. 

    You might think I made this box but I sure didn't!  It's found on page 135 of our Annual Catalog. It includes 20 cards & 20 envelopes and one box for gifting cards in; all in Kraft paper.  The cards are notecard side which is 5" X 3 1/2". See it here online. 

    As you can see in the photo below I used the houndstooth mask to add a soft background to each notecard.  I used a blending brush and Copper Clay ink.  

    The sunflowers are made with Pretty Peacock ink and the leaves are Granny Apple Green on White cardstock. Yes; they are all fussy cut! I did some but my friend Pat did the rest for me; she loves to fussy cut things! 

    The greetings are from the So Sincere stamp set from the 2023 Holiday catalog.  It's my favorite greeting set right now. See it here. 

     

    You can see in the photo below that I added the houndstooth pattern to the entire box, inside & out.  Because it comes flat it's easy to do. 

    I hope you're inspired by this project.  I'm not sure who will receive it yet, but it will be someone special!

    I made the Trick or Treat card before the video and the Winter Wishes card during the video that you can watch here.

    Here is the other card I shared:

    This card shows off the Magical Meadow bundle in the greeting and pretty die-cuts. 

    Details:

    • Winter Meadow designer paper seen here – 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 1" and 6 1/2"
    • Mossy Meadow, Basic White & Misty Moonlight card stock plus Adhesive-backed silver glimmer paper for the pretty foliage die-cut

    Here's the inside view; stamped with the Magical Meadow stamp set. 

    The Magical Meadow bundle has been one of my favorites this season.  I seem to reach for it often. See it here. 

    Here is the video for these neat cards.  You'll also find another fun fold card and a quick treat bag too!

  • Easy Treat Bag with video & free project sheet!


    If you ever need a fast & easy way to gift treats or a small gift I recommend this quick treat bag. I shared how to make it in a recent video and you can scroll down to get the free project sheet. 

    It's made from a piece of designer paper that's 8 1/2" wide X 6" tall.  The bag is 4 3/4" tall and about 4" wide at the top.  A nice size!

    The 'Boo' bag is made from the Them Bones designer paper and the tag is also from the paper.  It's part of a full sheet of individual panels you can use for cards etc.  

    I made the Boo bag before the video and the Christmas bag during the video. See this video here.  

    Below is a photo of it open.  I added about 6 small candy bars inside and there was room for more yet! The layered greeting tag holds the bag closed with a mini clip. 

    *Download the free project sheet with template here: Download Easy Treat bag with template

    Below is the template but it will help quite a bit to watch the video tutorial here. 

    The treat bag below is made from the O Holy Night designer paper and the Stars at Night bundle.  This pretty paper has the beautiful nighttime scene printed on it!

    I punched two holes in the top of the bag to thread the Silver & White ribbon through for a tied bow. This ribbon is a new favorite; it's sparkly and thin so it's easy to work with. Unfortunately it's out of stock until mid November. 

    Click here to watch the video you can watch to see this and two fun fold cards as well.
