Splendid Day cards with an easy background technique; video too.

Check out this pretty card using the Splendid Thoughts bundle.  I shared how to make it in a recent Live video seen here.

I think the Brick background is so pretty with the die-cuts.  I used the 'Direct to Paper' technique.  I used the Brick Wall embossing folder on the Calypso Coral CS and then used an open White Craft ink pad to lightly brush ink onto the textured CS.  I purposely keep my White Craft ink less inked than desired because I love doing this!  If yours is well inked you may want to use a sponge instead.

The colors include White, Calypso Coral, Soft Sea Foam and Petal Pink.  The Splendid Day Specialty designer paper is gorgeous and full of Foil & Copper accents on one side and subtle prints on the other.  Here's what the entire suite looks like.  It will be available tomorrow, July 1st.

You can get a share of this beautiful paper in my new Holiday Catalog paper share.  Reserve yours here now!

I stamped a few of the die-cuts and the greeting in Smoky Slate ink.  I fussy cut the greeting and added it to the curved 'half circle' die-cut over the ribbon.  I'll share more Splendid Thoughts projects tomorrow.

  • 2 more great card ideas with the Basic Border dies!

    Before you get to the projects today I want to let everyone know about the current shipping delays. Stampin' Up! had their highest sales day ever on April 4th – by almost 20 times the average!  Wow!  They are quite behind and have added extra staff and longer hours to get caught up.  So if you're wondering where your order is, it's coming….it will just be about 8-10 days longer than normal.  

    ~~~

    This week I'm sharing our April card swaps from my Flowerbug's team. It's so fun to see what they make; everyone has their own unique style.  I LOVE swapping with them!  

    Annette chose the Beside Me stamp set for her card. She is a master at coloring and sponging.  

    April Beside Me Annette Save

    Her colors include Blueberry Bushel, Basic White & Black. The Blueberry Bushel layer is textured with the Timeworn Type folder; the greeting die-cut is from the Stylish Shapes dies. 

    She cut two curves for her card; one with the Basic White layer and another with a Black layer.  She colored the image in with Blends markers.

    Next is a neat card made by Karen who also used the Basic Border dies seen here.  

    April Karen Something Fancy Save

    She used the die to cut off the edge of her card and then used that second piece to create a 'vertical window' for her By the Bay specialty designer paper. This pretty paper is discounted on the Last Chance List.  See it here. 

    Her greeting and die-cut layers are from the Something Fancy bundle in the Spring catalog.  It will be in the new Annual catalog but no longer as a bundle at 10% off. 

    See the Basic Border dies here:  I love these dies; they're so versatile.  Luckily they are carrying over into the new Annual catalog.

    I did add the Multipurpose Liquid glue on this list even though it's not retiring. However the price is going up to $5.50 in the next catalog.  It's on low inventory right now too! 

    I will not have a FB Live today; I have laryngitis so I cannot talk. 

    It's been a wake up call to see just how much I talk! ;)
