Stunning cards in the Thoughtful Journey kit to go; or choose the PDF tutorial

June 13, 2024

I couldn't wait to play and create with the gorgeous Thoughtful Journey designer paper. I think scenic paper like this makes card making a breeze! I decided to make each card a fancy fold too.

Save

I design my kit around the paper and added supplies so all you need to add is stamped greetings. I chose to use the So Sincere set this time; which you can add on at a discount.

This incredibly beautiful designer paper is filled with watercolor scenes and backgrounds making is super easy to create with.

A simple trick makes this Floating Pop-Up card work; with measurements & video!

April 19, 2022

This special fancy fold card is super unique and makes you wonder just how it's sort of floating! You will be shocked at what it takes to make it work.

I used the Crane of Fortune bundle to create this card. The colors are so soft & pretty – Gray Granite, Calypso Coral, White & Early Espresso.

Save

The front panel flips up as you open the card and it even wobbles a bit. You can see how it works in the video, or scroll down to the next photo.

I stamped the main image on a die-cut from the Stitched So Sweetly dies. They are on the retiring list; so if you don't have them yet you know what you need to do!

Save

The Good Fortune dies include the pretty leaves I used to hold my card open. When doing this be sure to add Dimensionals under the image to support the card open.

You need two little pieces of card stock under the front layers to make the pop-up work. Mine are 1/2" X 2 1/2" but size really does not matter here. Just fold them in half and secure one side to the card base and the other to the top layer. Do this on each side of the front panel. Again, please watch the video here to see how it works.

Blending Brush border idea with Artfully Layered; so pretty!

April 18, 2022
I created these pretty cards on last week's FB Live video. I LOVE the colors and style; they're so my style!

Save

I chose to play with the Artfully Layered bundle seen here in colors of Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green. Having a lot of 'white space' makes the textures & pretty leaves the clear star of the card.

Save

I used a blending brush to blend the two inks on a piece of White card stock and then cut the leaf die-cut from that.

For the multi-colored border underneath I used the blending brush to add the same colors. I love the effect!

Save

The cross-hatch texture is made with the dies in the bundle. There are two of them in the set that give textures.

Save

I also used the Faux Sea Glass shapes for accents.

Save

The measurements are in the post below but here they are again:
- White card base 5 ½” X 8 ½”
- White 3 ½” X 4 ¾”, sponged layer 3 ¾” X 5”
Save

Click on the photo below to watch the video; it's the first project of three. And be sure to follow me on Facebook here.

Sailboats & Palm Trees featured in today’s card swaps!

April 15, 2022

Today's post are the last of my talented Flowerbug Team swaps for April. Our theme was water, trees or leaves and I've been sharing their cards all week! It's so fun to see everyone's style and actually receive cards from people across the country. I LOVE swapping!

The first card is made by Candy; she is featuring the Paradise Palms bundle seen here. Her colors include Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake and Black.

Save

That pretty die-cut across and under the greeting is part of the Palm dies in the bundle. She used the Double Oval punch for her greeting.

It's stunning and a perfect 'guy' card! Thank you for sharing your fabulous card with us.

Save

The next card was made by Tammi. She used the Let's Set Sail bundle in the 2022 Jan-June Stampin' Up! catalog. This bundle is returning in the upcoming Annual Catalog in May. I love this punch!

Save

She created her own watercolor background by washing diluted color (Pool Party & Balmy Blue) onto her White CS. She also textured her background with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder. This folder is retiring now and it's on sale too! I'm so sad about it as I think it's a staple. It is a perfect way to add texture without a lot of busyness. See it here; get it while you can!
