Artist of the Month Sending Smiles cards!

June 23, 2022

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.

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!

There are 22 stamps in the set and 14 dies!

Best Dressed FB Live cards

April 17, 2020
I made these 3 pretty cards during my weekly 'Stamp with Me' Facebook Live last night.

Save

Each Thursday at 8 pm CT we'll finish 3 cards together in about 30 minutes. Prep your pieces ahead of time using the measurements I provide and you'll be surprised how quickly you can make your cards! Join me here:

I used the Best Dressed Designer paper seen here but you can substitute other paper, colors, stamps and punches. The stamped greetings are from the Peaceful Moments set here. I use this stamp set so much; the sentiments are wonderful.

After the video many people share their finished cards. It's so fun to see what products everyone uses and how similar (or not) they are to mine.

Here are the details and close up views of these three cards:

Color Challenge with Seriously the Best with Ornate Frames

April 16, 2020
My Flowerbug's Team had a color challenge this past month – to use Black and White with a 'Pop' of color. Here's the card I made:

Save

This card literally took me 5 minutes to make. Here's the steps:
1. Cut a White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
2. Cut the See a Silhouette DSP to 4" X 5 1/4". Adhere to the card
3. Die-cut two pieces a White 2 1/2" X 4" stitched rectangle and a Black Ornate Frame.
4. Stamp the greeting and leaves in Black Memento ink. Add the flowers in Poppy Parade ink. Adhere to the card.
5. Stamp the 'I miss you a lot' greeting on a scrap of White. Punch out with the Classic Label punch. Add with mini dimensionals.
6. Add a few rhinestones. Done!
You can see the See a Silhouette stamp set here and the Ornate Frames dies here. Remember that if you order any Ornate bundle from me in April you get a free 3 cards pre-cut kit! Details below:
