Pretty Perennials ‘Happy’ card with video

May 24, 2021

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!

Save

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.

Save

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.

A pretty home decor framed sampler with Life is Beautiful!

August 27, 2020
I made this shadow box home decor piece with my Life is Beautiful stamp set. It fits in a 12" shadow box frame.

Here's the Life is Beautiful stamp set I helped design as part of my Million Dollars in sales achievement with Stampin' Up!. You can order it here.

Two tips!
- The 'ground' image can also be clouds! Cool, right?
- And if you stamp the tree twice, you can achieve a 'thicker' trunk and fuller tree. Just lower the image on the second stamping.

I did use the Field of Flowers stamp set for the grass, flowers & dragonflies. I sponged the white card stock with Balmy Blue to remove the 'white' background. I added Shimmery Crystal Effects on the dragonflies and leaves on the top greeting piece.

Colors used: Soft Suede, Granny Apple Green, Calypso Coral, Old Olive, Balmy Blue

Products: In Good Taste Designer Paper, sponges, Linen Thread, Heat embossing in White, Shimmery Crystal Effects, Artistry Blooms adhesive backed sequins, 2 shades of Brown markers for bird house,

Beautiful Autumn paired with Plaid Tidings

August 26, 2020

There are lots of gorgeous Fall products in the 2020 Holiday catalog. I paired a few of my favorites to create this card; the Beautiful Autumn punch bundle and Plaid Tidings 6 X 6" designer paper pack.

Save

I trimmed off 3/4" from the front flap to reveal the strip of pretty Plaid Tidings designer paper. I chose to use Bumblebee, Mint Macaron, Early Espresso and Terracotta Tile inks here.

Save

The Beautiful Autumn bundle includes the stamp set and the three leaf punches; all for 10% off. Click here to see it online.

I also used the Wrapped in Texture embossing folder for the front layer, which is 5 1/4" X 3". See them here.

Save

Look at the detailed punched images here! You might also notice the Sequins for Everything. Love the variety of shapes and colors in these.

Gather Together card with a cool punch trick!!

August 25, 2020
Marilyn made this pretty card for our Team swap. She used the Gather Together bundle in the 2020 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog. There are two really neat tricks you might not notice at first glance.

Save

Can you spy the two special techniques here? Keep reading and I'll share them below.

Measurements:
- Cajun Craze 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- Very Vanilla 4 3/4" X 3 1/2"
- Rich Razzleberry 5" X 3 3/4"
- Plaid Tidings 1/2" X 3 3/4"
Products Used:
- Gather Together Bundle seen here just $38.50
- Woodland embossing folder
- Cajun Craze & Mango Melody inks
- Label me Lovely punch
- Stampin Spritzer
Okay, now I'll reveal her two tricks!
1. Can you see the changes in colors on the textured leaves? The bottom three leaves were die-cut & embossed (done all at once!) and then spritzed with water. The water changes the color on the leaves! I cannot believe it's just water and no ink to get this effect. Super cool!!
2. Next is the greeting shape. It's made with the Label me Lovely punch. You can get multiple shapes from this punch. Here's how:
- Punch one piece out.
- Add a bit of adhesive to the end of a thin piece of card stock and adhere it to the punched piece.
- Insert the piece back into your punch and adjust it to get whatever size shape you want!

Here are three shapes I made with this punch. Super neat and so versatile! See the punch here.
