Pretty Perennials ‘Happy’ card with video


I wanted to use the Pretty Perennials bundle for my April clubs and I found a card like this on Pinterest.  I love the fresh color combination of Daffodil Delight, Smoky Slate and Calypso Coral!

The Perennial dies were used here along with a few others; the recently retired Stitched Shapes and the Stitched So Sweetly dies.  The pretty embossing folder is the Dainty Diamonds and I'm sad to say it did retire last month. 

Here's the Pretty Perennials bundle.  This did not make it in the new Annual catalog and is retiring next month and it will be while supplies last.  

I love this set for the flowers but the greetings are the star in my opinion.  There are so many ways to use the 'happy' with the rest of the words.  My favorite is 'Happy Mail'.  Who wouldn't love getting a card with that saying?  It could also be stamped on the outside of your envelope as well.  

For the inside I used an oval die-cut and added a fun greeting from the Happiest of Birthday's set. 


I made a quick video on putting this card together.  You can see it below.

  • Awesome Otters is perfect with the Simply Marbelous!


    There are just 2 days left of Sale-a-Bration promotion and I had to share this sweet card my Flowerbug's team member Karen made for our recent swap. The theme was cards featuring animals & fun fold layout. 

    She used Balmy Blue, Misty Moonlight & Gray Granite along with the Hippo & Friends dies. She colored him in with Blends markers.  

    This card is a triangle pop up card.  The front of the card is scored diagonally across it so you can give it a twist to pop it up.  The inside greeting holds it up.  

    The Awesome Otters set is adorable; those critters are so cute!

    You can see the Awesome Otters set here and the Simply Marbelous DSP here.  They're BOTH free with a $50 order through Monday only.  Then Sale-a-Bration ends! Don't miss out on the deals!!!

  • Rainbow of Happiness Easel card with video tutorial


    The other card we made at my February card clubs was this bright rainbow easel card. We have so many wonderful rainbow themed products right now. 

    Details:

    • The rainbows and small clouds are die-cut using the Rainbow dies (currently unavailable through March 28th). 
    • The rainbows are cut from the Ombre 12 X 12" Specialty paper in the annual catalog (seen here). 
    • The clouds are punched using the new Cloud punch from either the Simply Ombre DSP, the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP or the Supple Shimmer paper. *The cloud punch matched the Sunshine & Rainbow DSP perfectly! 
    • The stamped images are from the Rainbow of Happiness & the Celebrating You stamp set; both in the 2022 Jan-June catalog
    • The DSP inside the card is the Sunshine & Rainbow paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog; it's free with any $50 order. 
    • They could add either raindrops from the Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials or the Artistry Blooms sequins. 
    • The frame was made by cutting a rectangle from a 4" X 5 1/4" Basic White CS with the Stitched Rectangle dies.  

    Have you noticed this gorgeous glimmery specialty paper in the annual catalog?  It's perfect for rainbows & that touch of glitter.

    You can see the glimmer better in this close up. 

    Did you know the Sunshine & Rainbows 6 X 6" DSP coordinates with our new Cloud punch?  The cloud punch is currently unavailable but it will be back after March 28th. 

     See the DSP here; it's so happy & bright.  Remember it's retiring after Monday; the last day of Sale-a-Bration.  It's free with any $50 order. 

    They could add greetings inside the easel if they wanted to.  We used Night of Navy ink for all greetings.  

    Measurements: 

    • Pool Party easel card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 3 3/4" & 5 1/2"
      Pool Party 4" X 5 1/4"
      White 4" X 5 1/4" for rectangle frame

  • Driving By meets Simply Marbelous for a retro style Birthday card


    We made retro style birthday cards at my February card clubs.  Look at this:

    It's perfect for a guy or even a young adult.  The Simply Marbelous designer series paper from our Sale-a-Bration catalog is absolutely amazing!  It does look a little psychedelic doesn't it?! 

    I covered the entire card front with it; no border at all.  I rarely do this but I wanted this unique & special paper to shine!  It has 6 different color combinations in it; all monochromatic too!  Everyone had a choice of their favorite color.  

    The birthday greeting is from the Slim Sayings stamp set seen here.  We stamped it in Versamark ink and heat embossed with Black embossing powder. 

    *There's a video to see how this card was created.  You can watch it here. 

    The car images were stamped with Black Memento ink on a Basic White Stitched rectangle die-cut and then colored in with our Stampin' Up! Blends markers.  

    I trimmed the balloon image off of the convertible so it could be added to any of the vehicles.  See the Driving By stamp set here; it's free with any $50 order through February. 

    The cute stitched banner is cut from more Simply Marbelous DSP using the Triangle dies.  

    After the card was assembled we added a finishing tough to the windows – a bit of Shimmery Crystal Effects for some shine. 


    Here's the video below:
