Share a Milkshake card with video & free projects sheet!

April 3, 2023

The Share a Milkshake bundle is SWEET and super fun to create with. We made this fun card at my March card clubs:

You can see the Share a Milkshake bundle here; it's filled with cute 2-step images, quirky font greetings and fabulous dies. See that straw in the ice cream? It fits into a 'slit' in the die-cut ice cream piece.

*This bundle is carrying over into the new Annual catalog but it will not be a bundle at 10% off any longer; the stamp set & dies will be sold separately.

That bottom large die above folds into a textured sugar cone; you can then insert your 'scoops' of ice cream in it like the project below shared by Stampin' Up!

Save

Here's what we stamped inside our card. The 2-step bowl of ice cream with a die-cut silver spoon is extra special.

Save

My colors include Coastal Cabana, Sweet Sorbet and Polished Pink with a bit of Early Espresso for the chocolate topping die-cuts. the striped DSP on the bottom is from the Country Floral Lane DSP in the Spring catalog.

Here's the free project sheet for this project; it includes measurements, directions and supplies. Download March 23 Share a Milkshake

Easiest way to create a scene; the Oceanfront stamp set!

April 26, 2022

Making swaps with a 'water theme' for my Flowerbug's Team was my first play with the Oceanfront stamp set seen here. I found out how easy it is to create a beautiful scene with just 4 stamped images.

Save

My colors include Pool Party, Balmy Blue, Black & Sahara Sand.

Save

The Pebbles Enamel Shapes embellishments are so perfect for the faux stones on the beach. They were unavailable for quite awhile but they're now back!

Save

The greeting & Palm tree are from the Paradise Palms bundle seen here. It pairs wonderfully with the Oceanfront stamp set.

Save

The Diorama dies make this card even more unique. I added Stampin' Dimensionals to the outer 'frame' of the scene and adhered the center down flat. This reveals just a bit of the Black layer and gives dimension or depth to the scene.

Using the Stamparatus helped make these 14 swap cards quick work! I love that we can reverse the plates on our Stamparatus so I could stamp all 4 images; one on each side of the 2 plates.

Save

I think these cards are a great 'guy' card or for those who love the beach.

Stack & Cut card technique; make 4 quick cards with your Designer Paper

April 25, 2022
On tonight's FB Live we're making Stack & Cut cards! Monday, April 25th at 7:30 pm here on my FB page.

If you can't watch it live it will be on my YouTube channel here.

Save

I chose to use the Heart & Home designer paper and the Blessings of Home stamp & dies bundle (seen here) for these pretty cards. This designer paper is retiring at the end of May. I like the fact that each sheet has a white wood pattern on one side.

Save

Here's now to make these Stack & Cut cards: Choose 4 different patterns of Designer Paper and then cut them into pieces using the template below.

Sort the pieces so one piece of each pattern fits on each card front. You'll create 4 different but similar cards quickly! Embellish as you'd like.

Save

Here's a photo of the pieces I started with.
- 4 full cards of Pale Papaya – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
- 4 Garden Green pieces at 4" X 5 1/4"
- the 16 pieces of Designer Paper – cut from the 4 pieces of DSP you started with
Save

Here's the template I used for the 4 pieces of Designer Paper. Choose patterns that coordinate in color. I love this way of using our beautiful double sided designer paper!

Tip: it's best if the patterns have a variety of sizes in their patterns.

Save

The Flowers of Home dies (seen here) are delicate with many leaves & flower options.

Save

Join me here tonight at 7:30 pm CT to see how easy it is to make 4 quick cards with the Stack & Cut technique.

Artfully Layered birthday card with video

April 22, 2022

Here's another pretty card I made during last week's FB Live. I featured the Artfully Layered bundle from the Jan-June Stampin' Up! catalog.

Save

The colors include Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green with White. I used three different dies in the Tropical Layers dies. The rick-rack border, the leaf and the crosshatch texture. See the bundle here.

Save

The greeting is heat embossed on the Coastal Cabana CS strip using White embossing powder. Adding heat embossing to your project steps it up a lot!

Save

Tip: get two colors from one ink pad. Note the two shades of Coastal Cabana on the leaves on the lower left of the card? I stamped off for the multiple leaves image once for a lighter hue.

The Faux Sea Glass Shapes are back in stock! Get them here.

Save
