Simple Lily of the Valley card; it’s a WOW! Grab the free project sheet or watch the video

I shared this beautiful Lily of the Valley card on last week’s Live video. It’s one of those cards that looks simple and easy but involves a bit of effort.

Save

I used the Lily of the Valley dies along with the Everyday Arches dies on the vellum and the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder (it’s back in stock) for the background. White & Granny Apple Green are my colors here.

Since I did-cut the flowers from White CS I used a Granny Apple Green blends marker to color the stems on the flowers. I also curled the die-cut leaves a bit and cut one apart for the thicker stems in the center area. Watch the video to see how.

Did you notice there isn’t a greeting on the front? It’s okay to leave them off now and then. This way my card can be used for any purpose.

I didn’t even stamp one on the inside. Just a simple leaf/flower image. Click here to see the Lily of the Valley in my store. It’s wonderful.

  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!

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

  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.

• The Last Chance Sale starts Tuesday!! The Stamparatus is already low inventory!

  April 2, 2023

  ---

  Tuesday starts our big Last Chance sale on both the Annual and Spring (January-April) catalogs.  However things are already selling out!  I wanted to give you a heads up on my favorite tool.  

  One of the biggest shocker on the retired lists is our Stamparatus seen here. It's already in low inventory! 

  I am SO SAD that it is retiring.  You may wonder why because it's an amazing stamping positioning tool.  There are some copyright & legal issues happening that is forcing Stampin' Up! to take it out of their product offerings.

  This means the magnets, grid paper are leaving as well.  So if you don't have a Stamparatus yet; get one today!  And if you do, I suggest getting a set of magnets here while you can. They're half off starting Tuesday, April 4th.

  Here's a video showing you the benefits of a Stamparatus. 

  And here's another one below on hinge step stamping.

• Easter Bunny Floating Panel card with a free project sheet & video tutorial!

  March 31, 2023

  ---

  We made this sweet card at my March Card Clubs – it features the Easter Bunny bundle.  This bundle is currently unavailable.  you can get the Easter Bunny stamp set now but the Bunny punch is returning in May. 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  It's a Floating Panel fun fold card; one of my current favorite folds lately.  It's both fun to make and easy to create too!  

  My colors include Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss and Daffodil Delight.   Below you'll see the baby version. I gave my gals the choice of Easter or baby.

  The greetings for the baby card are from Charming Sentiments. Click here for the PDF project sheet for measurements & products used.

  I used a variety of products on this card: 

  • Stamps – Easter Bunny, Charming Sentiments
  • Ink – Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss
  • Paper – Fresh Freesia, Daffodil, Blackberry Bliss, Basic White, Tea Boutique, Butterfly Kisses, Flowers & More host
  • Other – Basic Borders dies, Cane Weave 3D folder, Dimensionals, Brass Butterflies 

  Do you see his little cottontail? I tore off a piece from a cotton ball and rolled it into a ball. It's adhered with out Multipurpose liquid glue.

  Here are the measurements:

  • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" score at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2". Scraps for bunny & circle punch. Two strips 1/2" X 1 1/2" for the floating panel hinges
    • DSP pieces four pieces at 1 1/4" X 4"
    • White front square 2 3/4", inside 5 1/4" X 4"
    • Blackberry Bliss square 2 7/8"
    • Greeting strips 3/4" X 3 1/2"

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  Here's a tip on the Floating panel:  You need just two pieces of card stock about 1/2" X 2 1/2". Fold them in half and adhere to the center fold; one on each side.  Your front panel is adhered to this. 

  *Watch the video below (or click here) where I share the tips on creating this card; it's the second project of 4!
