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: 

June Sending Smiles Marilyn Save

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.  

June Sending Smiles Fresh Freesia Save

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!  

SENDING SMILES BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

There are 22 stamps in the set and 14 dies!

  • A special fun-fold card with Caring Leaves with video & free project sheet

    I shared this unique fun fold card on last week's FB Live video.  It's also uploaded to my YouTube channel too.  

    Caring Leaves club Oct Save

    It was one of the projects we made at my October card clubs this month.  The Caring Leaves stamp set is in our current Holiday catalog. See it here.  It's a sweet & simple set that is both Distinktive and a 2-step set. 

    CARING LEAVES PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET (ENGLISH) Save

    You can see the fun fold below. The card base is scored 3 times. The measurements can be found in the free project sheet here. Click on the following link to print it or to download it.  Download Caring Leaves Oct 2024

    Caring Leaves club Save

    My colors include Very Vanilla, Copper Clay and Pretty Peacock.  After stamping the front panel we added texture with an embossing folder. I offered the Birch 3D or the Leaf Fall 3D folders. 

    That stunning Pretty Peacock & Copper foil specialty DSP is called Oxidized Copper and can be found here.  It's currently in low inventory though.  

    OXIDIZED COPPER 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

    We blended a bit of Copper Clay ink to the front panel and greeting strip after embossing. A blending brush provides a beautiful & smooth color.

  • More Christmas card ideas from the Holiday Catalog by my Team

    This is the third batch of Christmas card swaps I've shared – all made by my talented Flowerug's Team. 

    First up today is an adorable card made by Candy.  She used the Snowy Wonder bundle seen here in the Holiday catalog. 

    Oct Candy Snow Wonder Save

    I adore her color combination of Pool Party with Real Red & White.  It's one of my favorites for the holidays. She stamped her snowflake background.  The snow globe is stamped with the Falling Snow background stamp. 

    She added tons of layers and textures here!  From the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder to her die-cuts, greetings and snowflake embellishments.  So much detail!! 

    Here's the inside view. This greeting is from the Peaceful Season stamp set.

    Next is a sweet & simple card made by Karen. 

    Oct Karen G Sentimental Christmas Save

    Her greeting is from the Peaceful Season bundle. She chose to feature the nostalgic Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper.

    SENTIMENTAL CHRISTMAS 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

    This pretty paper is one of the frequent 'give back's' that Stampin' Up! does each year.  They are donating $3 to children's literacy programs around the world for each pack they sell. 

    ~~~

    Mary also chose to use this same DSP on her card.  Another simple but neat way to make your designer paper the star of the card. Her colors are Pecan Pie, Cherry Cobbler & Vanilla.

    There are still more swaps left to share; stay tuned!

  • 3 great fun fold ideas from my Team swaps

    You're going to love these fancy fold cards made by my Flowerbug's Team for this month's swap.  I shared a few others yesterday and here are three more:

    Lori made this cute 'gift box' card.

    Oct Lori Take a Bow Save

    She used the Take a Bow DSP seen here and the Peaceful Christmas dies too.  She wrote the 'Merry' greeting by hand. It's like a pocket card except the top is a fold that pulls up the inside like this:

    Oct Lori Take a Bow Save

    Measurements: 

    • DSP 2 pieces of each at 3 7/8" X 4 1/2" (striped), Red is 1 1/8" X 4 1/2"
    • Real Red 4 1/4" X 2" score in half at 1" (poke two holes for threading ribbon), 3" X 4 1/4" inside pocket
    • White 2 3/4" X 4" inside pocket layer
    • scraps for die-cuts 

    Next is a sweet card made by Joan who did make a pocket card!

    Oct Joan Christmas Friends Save

    She used the Christmas Friends stamp set (seen here) along with the Deckled Circle dies.  Isn't her coloring fabulous?  She has a knack for coloring with the Blends markers.  

    Next is an adorable card made by Sharon who chose the Sweetest Star bundle and also used the Take a Bow DSP. 


    Oct Sharon Sweetest Star Save

    She scored her colored Santa from center to each point and added it to the inside of her punched star window with two stacked dimensionals in the center.  Love this idea!  See the Sweetest Star bundle here.
