Artist of the Month Sending Smiles cards!


Each month my Flowerbug's Team has a featured 'Artist of the Month'.  For June, Marilyn chose to use the Sending Smiles bundle seen here.  

She made 5 projects and I'm showing the first three here: 

Her card base is Orchid Oasis and the flowers are stamped in Orchid, Polished Pink, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive.  The flower centers and leaves are separate images so it's easy to have multiple colors on your flowers.  

She layered the two 'Sending' dies using our awesome Adhesive Sheets; no glue mess!  The Birthday Wishes greeting is heat embossed and die-cut with one of the long dies in the bundle.  The background texture is the Quatrefoil embossing folder seen here.

Next is a simple card with just a few layers using Fresh Freesia and Parakeet Party.  


I love the stamped background she did using Versamark.  The White layer is textured with the Painted Texture folder.  The Brass Butterflies are the perfect finishing touch!  

Her measurements are 2 7/8" X 3 7/8" for the White and 3" X 4" for the Parakeet Party.

Next is a fun fold card featuring the new hostess paper pack called Design a Daydream.  Anyone can get this with hostess benefits if the order is over $150. 

Here's a tip on making this diagonal fun fold card.  Cut your card base at 4 1/4" X 11" and score it at 5 1/2".  Now with your card base laying flat and horizontally, cut off the upper left half of this card base on a diagonal.  You'll add the layers of card stock and DSP to that but flip it before adhering it to the main card.  

She used the Layering Circles dies for her greeting.  I love that you can personalize your greetings with so many options.  This was one of my top 3 sets in the new Annual Catalog.  In fact it was one of the ideas I shared with Stampin' Up! for my Million Dollar stamp set!  

There are 22 stamps in the set and 14 dies!

  • Look at these 2 beautiful cards with the Autumn Toile Designer paper


    These pretty fall themed cards were made by my talented Flowerbug’s for our September Autumn themed card swap. They both feature the gorgeous Autumn Toile designer series paper from the 2025 Holiday catalog.

    This first card was made by Lori and it’s a fun fold card.

    Her colors include Pecan Pie, Early Espresso and Vanilla. The stamps are from The Right Words and More Messages sets. Gems are Streaked Dots and the metallic paper for that ‘tree’ die-cut is the Earthen Toned Metallic Paper. Can you see that pretty gold hoop around the tree? Wow!

    Here’s the inside view. The tree and deer dies are from the Autumn Trees dies.

    Measurements are:
    – Card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 3 1/4″ & 5 1/4″.
    – DSP on left is 3″ X 5 1/4″, DSP in the center is 1 7/8″ X 5 1/4″
    – Vanilla on the right inside is 3″ X 5 1/4″
    – largest circle is3 7/8″, DSP tree circle is 3 1/4″, Vanilla circle is 3 1/2″


    Next is a great card made by Ginny who also used the same exact sheet of paper in the Autumn Toile DSP pack.

    Her colors are Early Espresso with Very Vanilla. She stamped the greeting from the Amber Autumn bundle on the oval and added leaves from the Gathering Moments stamp set as well.

    Measurements:
    – card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″
    – Vanilla 4″ X 5 1/4″
    – Early Espresso 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″
    – DSP 3 1/4″ X 4 1/2″

    You can see this beautiful autumn paper here. I can see this going out of stock soon. It is one of my top selling products so far in September.

  • Another cute card with the Happy Place stamp set with free project sheet!


    I shared one card yesterday and here’s one more. Both are fun ways to add color to this neat stamp.

    You can see this neat stamp set here. I love it and see lots of possibilities; especially for scrapbooking!

    I chose the Full of Life designer paper for my background here; adding texture with the Waves 3D embossing folder. My colors include Pool Party, Black with Peach & Melon Mambo. I colored the large image in with Watercolor Pencils which I hadn’t used for a long time!

    I decided to try a different blue for the left card above – Cloud Cover. The right is Pool Party. Which do you prefer?

    I have a free project sheet for you and a video tutorial as well. Click Happy Place with Full of Life DSP on this link for the project sheet you can print or download. I suggest you save these project sheets in a file on your computer for card ideas.

    The video is below: It includes more ideas for this fun stamp set too!
