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.

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!

I hope your weekend is going well! Sunday's are pretty relaxing around here. I work on blog posts for the week and also try to do some catch up work inside and out.

There are several things you need to know about June and the new Annual catalog so I thought I'd share.
- The new Annual Stampin' Up catalog PDF can be found here. The Beginner Brochure can be found here.

- If your order is close to $100, I highly encourage you to consider the Starter Kit. During June, you get a free BUNDLE of your choice in your kit! See the 2020-2021 Bundles here. The Starter Kit is $99 and you get $125 in product of your choice, free shipping and the extra free bundle. So far four people have purchased it and joined my Flowerbug's Team; in less than a week!

Easy 8 Card Wonder template with Forever Fern in a kit to go!

June 5, 2020

I'm super excited about my newest One Sheet Wonder; I'm calling it the Easy 8 Card Wonder. I've been doing a bunch of quick card layouts on my Monday night FB live's and have loved the comments on how simple and easy the cards have been. People are actually making cards and building their stash AND sending them out too! I LOVE hearing this!

So I wanted to create a simple card plan using our beautiful stamped images as the main focus of the cards.

Save

The 8 Card Wonder features a template you print on neutral card stock and stamp on the other side. Then just cut on the printed lines and assemble your cards like shown. Here's the stamped 8 1/2" X 11" White card stock before I turned it over and cut on the printed lines.

The Forever Fern distinktive images in this stamp set are absolutely stunning!

Save

You can see part of the template under the cards here:

For these cards I used Bermuda Bay, Gorgeous Grape, Old Olive and Pretty Peacock ink and card stock.

The pdf tutorial is now available here.

Forever Fern card with video; quick & gorgeous!

June 4, 2020

Forever Fern is my absolute favorite stamp set in the new annual catalog so far. The images are beautifully detailed and Distinktive! That means that with one inking you get multiple hues of color on your stamped image. Look at the detail and natural shading! See it here.

Save

I chose to use Pretty Peacock, Gorgeous Grape and Old Olive here. That pretty die-cut is from the Tasteful Labels dies seen here.

If you want this stamp set you might wait to order it along with my newest 8 card wonder; it's included in the kit to go! Click here to order. Quantities are limited! More Details will be posted tomorrow!

I hope you watch my quick video below to learn the tips to make a card like this.
