Retro Circles layout with a quick video. So unique & versatile!

I hope you had a nice Christmas weekend!  We sure did.  It's one of my favorite times of the year; one time where all of my kids are home and we're all together. 

Here's another card we made at my December card clubs.  It was such a hit on Facebook Live Stamp with Me that I had to do it at Club too.  It's a great way to show off your designer paper with this retro style.  Scroll down to see the video.

You just need three circles of different sizes.  I used the Stitched Shapes dies so they have the extra detail of stitches on the edges.  I use these dies so much!  If you don't have them I highly recommend them. See them here. 

I used the Brightly Gleaming specialty DSP here and instead of the copper foiled side I used the other side which has Navy, Mossy Meadow & Island Indigo.

The stamped images are from the Itty Bitty Birthday & Lots to Celebrate stamp sets.  Just one ink color; Night of Navy. 

Below are the cards we made on one of my Monday night Stamp with Me FB lives.  See that video here.

The above cards were made with various designer papers & stamp sets.  The top is Classic Christmas, left is Heartwarming Hugs and right is Snowflake Splendor.

• A SMART way to use your 6 X 6″ paper with this neat fun fold card; video too!

  August 31, 2022

  ---

  On yesterday's FB Live I shared three unique fun fold cards.  See that video here on my YouTube channel.  Be sure to subscribe too! 

  This card is probably my favorite fold.  It makes the BEST use of your 6 X 6" designer paper! 

  Save

  I chose to feature the Butterfly Kisses 6" DSP in the 2022 Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up! It's filled with bright colors & fun prints with printed butterflies you can cut out! 

  It coordinates with the Build a Butterfly dies and the Best Butterfly Bundle seen here. 

  I chose to use Starry Sky with White & Parakeet Party for my main colors.  The 'pull out' tag for the front is from the Tailor Made Tags dies seen here.  

  Save

  For all of the cards in the video I featured the Charming Sentiments bundle seen here.  It's filled with great greeting images and lots of coordinating dies that cut them out perfectly!

• Blessings of Home & Flowers of Home dies projects

  August 30, 2022

  ---

  Look at this pretty card I made on last week's Facebook Live. 

  Save

  Lots of pretty details on this card:

  • Blessings of Home stamp set & Flowers of Home dies for the leaves
  • I used watercolor pencils & blender pen to color the floral image
  • the gold honeycomb sheet is from the Sweet Sunflower Paper Pumpkin kit; it was a free gift add on
  • I used the gold honeycomb sheet to add a pretty, blended background using Balmy Blue ink & a Blending Brush

  Save

  The Flowers of Home dies are in the 2022-23 Annual Catalog but also available free with a $100 Stampin' Up! order during Sale-a-Bration.  See them here. This option ends on Wednesday, August 30th.  See all of the Sale-a-Bration options here. 

  The stamp set & dies are available in a bundle too.

  Save

  I made a second card using mostly the Flowers of Home dies.

  Save

  I cased the card from Sue Mohr; I thought it was simply elegant way to create a 'wreath' around the oval sentiment.  

  The oval dies are from the Fabulous Frames dies seen here.  When you cut out the oval it creates both the frame and the inside; two pieces with one die! 

  I textured the White layer with the Quatrefoil embossing folder seen here.  It's so pretty and works perfectly with these flower & leaves die-cuts.  

  Save

  The colors I used are Balmy Blue, Pear Pizzazz, Polished Pink and Fresh Freesia.  

  Tip; when adding these delicate die-cuts use just a tiny but of Multipurpose Liquid glue.  

  Save

  Remember that these Flowers of Home dies are free with any $100 order through Wednesday, August 31st.  Sale-a-Bration ends that day. 

  Click on the photo below to watch the video to see how I made both of these cards & one more too!
