Prized Peony bundle; wow!

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. 

June Mary Peony Garden Save

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.

  • Easiest way to create a scene; the Oceanfront stamp set!

    Making swaps with a 'water theme' for my Flowerbug's Team was my first play with the Oceanfront stamp set seen here. I found out how easy it is to create a beautiful scene with just 4 stamped images.

    My colors include Pool Party, Balmy Blue, Black & Sahara Sand.

    The Pebbles Enamel Shapes embellishments are so perfect for the faux stones on the beach.  They were unavailable for quite awhile but they're now back!

    The greeting & Palm tree are from the Paradise Palms bundle seen here.  It pairs wonderfully with the Oceanfront stamp set.

    The Diorama dies make this card even more unique.  I added Stampin' Dimensionals to the outer 'frame' of the scene and adhered the center down flat. This reveals just a bit of the Black layer and gives dimension or depth to the scene.  

    Using the Stamparatus helped make these 14 swap cards quick work!  I love that we can reverse the plates on our Stamparatus so I could stamp all 4 images; one on each side of the 2 plates.

    I think these cards are a great 'guy' card or for those who love the beach.

  • Stack & Cut card technique; make 4 quick cards with your Designer Paper

    On tonight's FB Live we're making Stack & Cut cards!  Monday, April 25th at 7:30 pm here on my FB page.  

    If you can't watch it live it will be on my YouTube channel here. 

    Heart & home stack & cut .. Save

    I chose to use the Heart & Home designer paper and the Blessings of Home stamp & dies bundle (seen here) for these pretty cards.  This designer paper is retiring at the end of May. I like the fact that each sheet has a white wood pattern on one side. 

    HEART & HOME 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

    Here's now to make these Stack & Cut cards:  Choose 4 different patterns of Designer Paper and then cut them into pieces using the template below.  

    Sort the pieces so one piece of each pattern fits on each card front.  You'll create 4 different but similar cards quickly!  Embellish as you'd like.

    Here's a photo of the pieces I started with.  

    • 4 full cards of Pale Papaya – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
    • 4 Garden Green pieces at 4" X 5 1/4"
    • the 16 pieces of Designer Paper – cut from the 4 pieces of DSP you started with

    Here's the template I used for the 4 pieces of Designer Paper.  Choose patterns that coordinate in color.  I love this way of using our beautiful double sided designer paper!  

    Tip: it's best if the patterns have a variety of sizes in their patterns.

  • Artfully Layered birthday card with video

    Here's another pretty card I made during last week's FB Live. I featured the Artfully Layered bundle from the Jan-June Stampin' Up! catalog.  

    Artfully Layered leaf Save

    The colors include Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green with White.  I used three different dies in the Tropical Layers dies.  The rick-rack border, the leaf and the crosshatch texture. See the bundle here.

    The greeting is heat embossed on the Coastal Cabana CS strip using White embossing powder.  Adding heat embossing to your project steps it up a lot! 

    Artfully Layered leaf Save

    Tip: get two colors from one ink pad. Note the two shades of Coastal Cabana on the leaves on the lower left of the card?  I stamped off for the multiple leaves image once for a lighter hue. 

    The Faux Sea Glass Shapes are back in stock!  Get them here.
