Snailed It; fun, colorful & adorable

March 31, 2021

This is another card we made at my March Card Clubs. I featured the Snailed It Bundle seen here.

This cute designer paper is retiring and not returning in the new Annual Catalog in May. It is full of bright colors and adorable patterns. I used the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch seen here.

That cute envelope comes in the set of Snail dies. And quite a few of these dies coordinate with the Snail Mail designer paper too!

3 Fun Projects & Video with the Circle Celebration stamp set

March 22, 2021

I tried not to order the Circle Celebration stamp set but it kept calling out 'Order me!' So I caved….and am so glad I did! The images seem like they're almost 'retro' style which I love. I do enjoy creating my own stamped background and these are perfect for that.

Today I'm focusing on the cards on the right. I made them with the Bokeh technique. It's so fun and almost 3D in appearance.

You start out with a sponged background. I used our new Blending Brushes that are awesome! They are currently out of stocks but should be back at the end of March.

Randomly sponge ink colors onto our Basic White CS. Choose colors that somewhat coordinate if possible. this can be difficult for some who struggle with color combos. I choose colors that when mixed do not make mud. How do I know which colors don't mix? Trial and error of course! Here I used Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape. Aren't these colors gorgeous together?!!!

*Another combo I might pick are yellows, oranges & reds. Or greens & blues!

Save

Once you're done you add sponged circles using White Craft ink. I made my own stencils by punching circles out of card stock. I share tips on using and re-inking our White Craft ink in the video below.

The greeting is from the Best Year stamp set in the Annual Catalog and the butterflies AND white dotted die-cut 'holes' are from the new Brilliant Wings bundle seen here.

Here is the video; I hope you watch it to see how to make these fun projects!

Hot Dog; what an amazing fun fold card!

March 19, 2021
Have you been enjoying the window cards I've shared this week? I have more coming tomorrow! My Flowerbug's Team amaze me each and every month. They really put effort into creating incredible projects like this fun & amazing card Annette made with the Hot Dot stamp set!

Save

I was blown away by it! She based her colors off of the Playful Pets designer paper seen here. *this will likely retire in a week!

It took a lot of time and effort into lining up the Stitched Nested Label dies so the Real Red window lined up with the inside layers. She told me that she adhered the designer paper to the front of the card before die-cutting the window. She did by placing the die between the layers cutting side up; in the middle of the card itself. That takes some patience in lining it all up!

Two Unique Window cards with Dragonfly Dreams & Soar Confidently stamp sets.

March 18, 2021

I'm featuring our Team Swaps this week and the theme was 'window cards'. I was so impressed with each and every one of them!

First up is Deloris's card with the Dragonfly Garden stamp set seen here.

The little dragonfly is from the Dragonfly Punch which is in the Dragonfly Garden bundle seen here.

Save

She used two of the Stitched Label dies and the Subtle embossing folder. Her colors are Pear Pizzazz and Rich Razzleberry. I believe she colored the flowers in with Blends markers. Beautiful job!

*The greeting and die-cut are retired and not currently available.

Next is a gorgeous card made by Ginny. She used the Oval dies and the Soar Confidently stamp set seen here.

Save

Her colors are Crumb Cake with Soft Suede & Vanilla. That great texture is from the Tasteful Textile folder in the annual catalog. Adding a bit of color to the balloon really makes it stand out! Take a look at the inside!
