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!

  • Seashells fun fold card; wow!

    Sharon created this gorgeous 'dutch door' fun-fold card for our February Team swap. 

    Feb Sharon Seashells...JPG Save

    I think stamping on the die-cut shell before embossing is the neatest idea!  She used the Friends are Like Seashells bundle with the Seashells 3D embossing folder. 

    Her colors are Blushing Bride with Gray Granite and our new Pearlescent Paper.  This specialty paper is absolutely stunning! See it here.

    That great texture on the back layer is made with the Painted Texture embossing folder seen here. 

    Measurements: 

    • Gray Granite 8 1/2" X 5 1/4" and trim off 2 3/4" X 4 1/4" on the upper left front. Front is 4" X 2 3/4"
    • Pearlescent paper is also 4" X 2 3/4" 
    • Blushing Bride 4 1/8" X 5 3/8" inside, 2 7/8" X 4 1/8" front

  • Playful & unique cards with Oh So Ombre’ Designer paper!

    Do you have the fabulous Oh So Ombre' Designer Series Paper yet?  If not here are three creative reasons you need it!

    Feb 16 Oh So Ombre Save

    Aren't they fun!  I really wanted to show you how amazing this designer paper is so I played and came up with these neat card ideas.  First is a starburst card in two colors; Bermuda Bay and Blackberry Bliss.  

    I used the fabulous Stitched Star dies and the Oval Occasions stamp set.  Watch the video below to see just how easy it is to make one of these gorgeous cards. 

    Feb 16 Oh So Ombre Starburst Save

    Next I played with the Dandy Wishes dies (2021 Spring Catalog) to create these 'Retro' style cards.  I first die-cut a bunch of 'windows' in the White panel.  Then added punched circles of the Oh So Ombre DSP behind them.  Next I textured the entire thing with an embossing folder.

    For the last card I wanted to use those retro style die-cuts so I created this Ombre panel card.  The stamp set is from Field of Flowers.
