I played with the Rainbow of Happiness bundle on Facebook Live earlier this week.  Here's a neat shaker card I made:

Shaker cards look difficult but they're fun AND easy!  Watch the video below to see how it's done.

The Rainbow of Happiness bundle is 10% off in our Spring catalog.  See it here.  I just noticed it's on low inventory. That means when they run our it will not be available again until the product is restocked. That Global Shipping issue you know!!

It's hard to see in the photo above but the paper inside the shaker is our Rainbow Glimmer specialty paper from the annual catalog.  I share a neat trick to get these rainbow die-cuts in place in the video below or click here. 

Here's a close up of another:

Here are some details:

• The large rainbow is made with the Brilliant Rainbow dies – it's part of the Rainbow of Happiness bundle. 
• The small clouds are die-cut from our Supple Shimmer paper & the Rainbow dies
• The sequins & beads in the shaker are from the Sparkle & Shine sequins
• I used our Foam Adhesive strips on the back side of the White die-cut piece to raise it and keep the shaker pieces in place.
• The large clouds are punched with our new Cloud Punch. One is punched from the Sunshine & Rainbows free DSP during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. See it here.

The card above on the left has a cloud bank made with our Border Basic dies and our new Supple Shimmer paper.  Stampin' Up! is terrific at coordinating their products so incredibly.  

The shaker card is the first project I make in the video below. Click on it to watch!

• Love Cats video tutorial with an easy but unique fun fold

  March 15, 2023

  ---

  We made this CUTE card at my February card clubs.  It really shows off the Love Cats stamp set seen here. 

  Save

   

  I shared it on my FB Live yesterday (see video below). It's sort of a unique fold in that the card base is a quarter sheet and the Sweet Sorbet is smaller and opens; see?  

  Save

  In order to get full, solid images I used the Stamparatus for the cats.  It makes a world of difference!  *Catch the tips in the video below.

  *Other items used here are the Conversation Bubbles dies, Pastel Adhesive-backed sequins, Balmy Blue variegated ribbon, Stylish Shapes dies, White embossing powder, Heat Tool, Sweet Sorbet Blends marker

  Measurements:

  • Card base 8 ½” X 5 ½”
  • Sweet Sorbet 8” X 5 ¼” scored at 4”
  • White inside is 3 ½” X 4 ¾”
  • DSP 1 ½” X 5 ¼”

  I used the Happy Labels stamp set for the inside greetings.  It has some fabulous images; see it here.

• Multiple amazing ‘WOW’ cards featuring the Legendary Ride bundle!

  March 13, 2023

  ---

  Each month in our Flowerbug's Team a member is featured as 'Artist of the Month' and shows off a bundle or suite of projects.  In February it was Jane and she chose to use the Legendary Ride bundle.  She did an amazing and creative group of cards!

  Take a look at these incredible samples:

  Do you see the orange racks holding up the bike?  She used the 'seat' dies to create it.  She also sponged on them a bit so they were 'well used'!  Ha!  

  The background with clouds and the checkered bottom are all from the Ready to Ride DSP.  Look at the detail on her motorcycle!  The dies are incredibly detailed. 

  This next card is a center step card.  It also features multiple pieces of the Ready to Ride designer paper. It's hard to see in the photo but she die-cut the seat from the Black foil in the DSP.  

  Save

  She sure made the most of this unique Legendary Ride bundle by Stampin' Up!  You can see it here online. 

  Save

  This next card features a pocket greeting on the front. You can pull it up and remove it to use as a bookmark. She textured the front panel with the Metal Plate 3D embossing folder seen here.  Perfect texture for this guy card.  

  Save

  She added color to the Ready to Ride floral paper above using a Sweet Sorbet Blends marker. She really showed off this unique designer paper on her projects.  I LOVE the shiny black foil accents.  See it here.

  Save

  Next is a great guy birthday card that doesn't feature a motorcycle at all. She added elements from the He's the Man DSP in the Annual Caalog.  

  Save

  And last is this neat card with a road map and bike tread with a more colorful bike.  See the Adhesive Backed studs on the upper corners?  They pair wonderful with this suite.  See them here.

  Thanks for sharing your creativity with us Jane! Your creativity & talent is amazing!
