Prized Peony bundle; wow!

July 10, 2020

Look at these gorgeous cards Mary and Karen made for a Flowerbug's Team swap last month. They both used items in the new Peony suite seen here.

Mary's colors are Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam with Gray Granite. She sponged a bit of Petal Pink onto the Peony petals. The other products here are the new Vellum square doilies and Elegant Faceted Gems. that designer paper is from the In Good Taste package seen here.

Karen used the Peony Garden designer paper as a background and the new Magenta Madness card stock with Pear Pizzazz & Old Olive for leaves. That pretty scalloped edge is included in the Peony dies.

You might think it's difficult to put the peony flower together, but Stampin' Up! made it super easy. It's just 4 die-cuts and they layer easily. You match up the bottom edge of each die-cut for a perfect fit each time. I made a video of it here on FB.

A Mystery Card Floating technique with the pretty Dainty Flowers

February 2, 2023
Every few months we have a Mystery Card challenge with my Flowerbug's Team. I put together packets of papers and elements and send them to those who opt in. They have a month to make a project using the supplies in their 'Mystery' packet and of course there are prizes too.

This month I featured papers from the Dainty Flowers designer paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. Here's my card:

Save

I had multiple pieces of the designer paper, pieces of Mossy Meadow, a white and Mossy circle and the Rich Razzleberry card base. They could use as many or as few of the elements that they wanted or add extras too.

Floating Technique: I cut one of my DSP layers into 1/2" strips and adhered them to a piece of window sheet. Then I cut it out with a stitched circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies.
Save

It's such a unique & unexpected element to a card. I added some die-cuts from the Dainty Delight dies too.

Measurements:
- Rich Razzleberry card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- DSP 2" X 4 1/4", circle element is 2 1/2"

Explosion ‘Wow’ cards with step by step video tutorial and template.

January 31, 2023

We made explosion cards on Facebook Live Monday night. I host a free class called Stamp with Me Live on the last Monday evening of each month on my FB page here. Be sure to follow me there.

I always upload the video on my NEW YouTube Channel afterwards so even if you're not on Facebook you can watch it later.

I chose to use the Favored Flowers designer paper – it's a free Sale-a-Bration choice right now; while supplies last. You can earn it free with any $50 order from Stampin' Up!. See it here.

The card starts out as a gate-fold fun fold card. Easy enough…. I chose to fussy cut a few flowers & leaves from the pretty DSP to add to my greeting element. The greeting is from the Fitting Florets stamp set. The white stitched circle is from the Stylish Shapes dies. I also added a few Brushed Brass butterflies; love these! They're so dainty and nice & flat.

Here's the inside view of the explosion insert:

I added the layered squares on the diagonally at the center of the explosion piece. Note that this is only adhered on the very outside edge of the inside card. It sort of floats. Please watch the video here to see exactly how it's done. It's quite difficult to explain how this is done in writing.

**I created a free project sheet for this card; Download it here

Below is the template I used for the designer paper explosion layer. You'll start out with a 4" X 8" piece of designer paper and score vertically at 2", 4" and 6". Then score on the diagonal 4 times as shown.

Save

I hope you try making one of these; they're so fun!
