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!

  • Textured Notes & Botanical Textures fun fold card with video tutorial

    I shared this fun fold card on last week's video. We also made it at my Team meeting in March. 

    Botanical Textures accordion Save

    The back of the card is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" but the center is an accordion style fold that shows off your designer paper. 

    I used the Dashing Designs embossing folder on the Azure Afternoon layer – it's on the Last Chance list here. 

    The stamp set is the Textured Notes and the DSP is the Botanical Textures.  If you follow me you'll realize I cannot get enough of both of these products!  

    Here's the view with the card opened:

  • New Catalog sneak peak inspired by a fun sketch

    Today I'm sharing a sneak peek of new products from the upcoming 2025 Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!  

    Florals in Bloom swap Save

    I chose the Florals in Bloom designer paper and the Impressions Abloom stamp set plus new gems too!  My colors include Petunia Pop and Secret Sea plus white.  

    This layout was inspired by the following sketch.  I absolutely love using sketches for my inspiration.  I knew I wanted to feature the DSP but wasn't sure of my plan. This sketch fit the bill perfectly! 

    I made another pretty card that's totally different with this same sketch.  See it here.  

    Sketch 5a Save

    As you can see I did not follow it exactly.  My DSP measures 2 3/4" X 4" and 2 1/4" X 3".  The diagonal layer (secret sea) is 1 1/8" wide.  

    The stamped greetings are from the 'The Right Words' stamp set.  One of my new favorite greeting sets.  You're going to love it!

    I'll share another card featuring new products tomorrow.

  • Stunning guy cards in a pre-cut kit to go; limited quantity!

    I have a few of these wood textures guy card kits left in my shop.  They're filled with wood accents and textures. 

    The Best There is all. Save

    I started with a Paper Pumpkin kit from last year and jazzed it up with extra cards, envelopes and layers.  

    It features 12 cards with envelopes all with woodgrain paper patterns. It includes pre-cut cards, Linen Thread and all the elements you see here. You'll need a few inks, greeting images, adhesives and a paper trimmer to cut a few card bases down. 

    Reserve yours soon; I have a limited quantity of these!

    The PDF tutorial will be send to you immediately after purchase. The card kit will be sent a few days afterwards, unless it's combined with an April kit. Then they'll ship out together at the end of April. 

    Here's a link to the kit; it's $30 plus shipping. Combine it with any other kit and save on shipping costs!
