I was playing around with the new In Colors and the pretty new Quiet Meadow Bundle and created this pretty card: 

Save

I wanted to see if I could add colored flowers to the green die-cuts.  It was actually very easy to do!  I cut the entire dies in Soft Succulent and then cut mostly the flowers in the colors.  I then trimmed the flowers to add to the stems. 

You can get a similar effect if you die-cut everything in White CS and then add color by sponging.  I'll try that sometime soon and share the results.  

I used the new In Colors of Soft Succulent, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya and Polished Pink.  The only one I didn't use is Evening Evergreen.  That pretty greeting die is also included in these Meadow dies!  Can you see the shimmer on the flowers?  I added a bit of Wink of Stella. The embossing folder is Tasteful Textile.

• Christmas card swaps!

  October 27, 2021

  ---

  I love sharing the cards my Flowerbug's make for our Team swaps.  We had a great turnout for the October meeting and swap. 

  Marilyn made this first card using the Welcoming Woods stamp set.  Her colors are Soft Succulent, White & Evening Evergreen.

  Save

  Products used are all from the 2021-22 Annual Stampin' Up! catalog:

  • Wintry 3D embossing pair seen here
  • Hippo & Basic Border dies
  • Tidings of Christmas 6 X 6" DSP 
  • 2021-23 In Color Shimmer Vellum
  • Soft Succulent ribbon

  And here's the inside. She punched a strip of Evening Evergreen CS with the Evergreen Border punch and then textured it with the Evergreen Forest 3D embossing folder! 

  Save

  Next is a card made by Paula featuring the Tidings & Trimmings bundle in the Annual catalog.  

  Save

  Her colors include Real Red, Evening Evergreen & White. The star is cut from the Be Dazzling specialty paper in the previous Sale-a-Bration catalog. 

  I love how she wove the ribbon through the scalloped openings in the die-cut.  This die is from the Scalloped Contour dies seen here. 

  ~~~

  Next is a pretty card made by Mary featuring the Evergreen Elegance stamp set; also in the Annual Catalog.  

  It's a fun fold card where you fold back the front flap of the card.  

  Save

  The designer paper is also the Tidings of Christmas and that nice large White die-cut is from the Seasonal Labels dies seen here.  They coordinate with the wonderful Christmas Season stamp set.

• Nature’s Harvest card with embossed vellum

  October 26, 2021

  ---

  I just realized I hadn't shared this pretty card we made in September at my Card Clubs.  It features the Nature's Harvest bundle seen here in the 2021 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog. 

  Save

  The colors include Bumblebee, Just Jade, White, Gold & Vellum. When I use vellum I always think 'Why don't I use it more?'  It can be the perfect layer without adding 'too much'. 

  Details:

  • The Vellum card stock is embossed with the Timber 3D embossing folder.
  • The coneflowers are colored with Stampin' Blends markers. 
  • That glitzy wheat stalk is part of the Harvest dies and from the Be Dazzling specialty paper that was available during Sale-a-Bration. 
  • The greeting is from the Delicate Dahlias (Sale-a-Bration) stamp set on a Tasteful Label die-cut 

  Save

  
  

  Measurements:

  • Bumblebee card stock 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • Vellum CS 3 3/4" X 5"
    • White scraps for circle, greeting and flower
    • Be Dazzling paper scrap for stems
    • Penguin Playmates DSP 1 1/2" X 4 1/4"

  And here's the video!

  It's actually a gatefold card but the front panel is a piece of designer paper that leaves a reveal of the right edge of the card base which is textured. 

  For these two cards I chose to use the In Good Taste DSP (Annual Catalog on the left) and Cork paper on the left from the Holiday catalog. 

  Or see it on my YouTube channel here on Tuesday.
