Springtime Scenes bundle meets Painted Illusions DSP

April 1, 2026

I had a play with the Springtime Scenes bundle and paired it with the pretty Painted Illusions designer paper.

My colors are Pretty in Pink, White & Lost Lagoon.
Measurements: Card base 4 1/4″ X 11″, DSP 1 3/4″ X 5 1/2″, White square 3 1/4″, Lost Lagoon square 3 1/2″

I started out with the large circle/leaf die-cut. I stamped the greeting inside the circle and then textured the White square with the Beautiful Pattern embossing folder. Now I could add the circle, the flower – both from the Springtime Scenes bundle seen here. It was out of stock for awhile but it’s back now. So many neat die-cuts and the greetings are quite a good variety.

Next I adhered a strip of the Painted Illusions DSP (Product of the Month) to the card base and added two thin scraps of White CS diagonally. Because I had the large square and the DSP strip I felt it needed something without hard angles like the square/rectangle layers. This gives a bit of fun to the card.

I'm loving the new Banners Pick a Punch! It has grooves for 1/2", 3/4" and 1" banners. And two different style ends! Sure makes adding banners a breeze!

Gorgeous Fall Swaps from the Flowerbug’s!

August 18, 2020
Today I'm sharing a few of the amazing cards my Flowerbug's Team swapped this weekend. The theme was Fall cards.

Annette made this first one using the Rooted in Nature bundle.

You may not see it well but she used the leaf dies in this set to create a textured White background. Her colors are Cinnamon Cider & Rich Razzleberry. A unique, Asian inspired card!

Paula made this one using the Autumn Goodness bundle. It's a fun fold too where the front, middle is the card opening! That piece is 3 3/4" X 8 1/2" folded in half.

The pretty designer paper is the Gilded Autumn specialty paper. This bundle includes dies that cut out the flowers and the wheelbarrow.

Candace made this one with two stamp sets; the Life is Beautiful for the leaves and greeting and the Way to Goat set for the goat who's kicking up the leaves! Super fun and colorful!

Love of Leaves; get two colors on one stamp!

August 17, 2020
I was inspired by a card swap I received to create this pretty card. It features the Love of Leaves bundle; one of my favorites in the new Stampin' Up! 2020 Holiday Catalog. there's also a 3/4" strip of the beautiful Plaid Tidings designer paper here which is where the color combination came from.

We made this colorful card at my Flowerbug's Team gathering on Saturday. It features a two toned stamping technique you should really try! The solid images are perfect for it!

Save

Can you see the two toned effect on the largest leaf? It's done like this:
- Ink the leaf in Pumpkin Pie (the lightest color of the two).
- Next use a sponge dauber (can use a sponge too, but it's more difficult to control) and add Rich Razzleberry ink (the darker color) to the edges of the leaf image.
- Huff and stamp. Then die-cut with the Stitched Leaves dies.
I did the same thing on the long leaf with Crushed Curry & Pumpkin Pie but it isn't showing up as well.

Save

Other details:
- White CS is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" and textured with the Stitched Leaves dies
- Plaid Tidings DSP is 3/4" X 5 1/4"
- Rich Razzleberry main card is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2".
- Inks are Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry.
- The greeting is punched from the Label Me Lovely punch. I started out with a 1" White strip of card stock. Stamp the greeting and insert into the punch for a unique shape!
