The pretty Summer Shadow dies unleashed my creativity!

I sure had fun playing with the Summer Shadow dies this week. I planned to make 3 cards and ended up with 6! I had to make myself stop, which rarely happens. I started out with this amazing card inspired by one made by Beth McCullough. 

Summer Shadow dies on black Save

I die-cut a bunch of flowers & leaves from Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green Coastal Cabana and Magenta Madness and added them to Black CS that I embossed with the Hello & Thank you embossing folders.  The greeting from Shaded Summer is on a die-cut from the Messages die.  See the pink & black gingham ribbon?  It's originally Black & White but I colored it with my Magenta blends marker.

As you can see in these eye catching cards you can do a lot with these dies!

I also made this neat card with a paper piecing technique.  I inserted petals into the outline flower and secured them with tape. The black & White DSP behind the fie-cuts is from the Pattern Party DSP.  It's a huge pack of 48 sheets – a hostess choice with orders over $150 seen here or on page 171 of the annual catalog. 

The colors are Coastal Cabana, Magenta Madness, Black, White & Mango Melody.

    Friendly Hello Easel Calendar Tropical Layers Save

    Totally different looks from the same Friendly Hello designer paper.  You can go soft or bold with it! 

    On the top right I added the stamped image from the Friendly Hello stamp set (part of the free bundle during SAB) and on the top left I added a few die-cuts from the Tropical Layers dies seen here.  I think they coordinate wonderfully.

  • Easel Calendar with a post it box; made by Melissa

    I LOVE sharing what my friends make.  Shout out to Melissa who made this adorable, bright & happy Easel Calendar for her club friends this month.  

    Pattern Party Easel Calendar Save

    She searched for a tutorial and actually found one I did last year!  She added a box for a pack of post-it notes too!  

    She used the Pattern Party host paper seen here or on page 171 of our Annual catalog.  I always encourage my hostesses to choose this paper; it's the BEST deal! It's valued at $30 but hostesses can choose it for just $18 as part of their hostess benefits. Tip: Everyone earns free benefits on orders over $150; even Demonstrators! 

    This is the type of information I want you to know before placing an order.  I want to maximize your value and get you the best deal on our products that I can! *please contact me before ordering so I can help you!

    I played with the Rainbow of Happiness bundle on Facebook Live earlier this week.  Here's a neat shaker card I made: 

    Rainbow of Happiness shaker Save

    Shaker cards look difficult but they're fun AND easy!  Watch the video below to see how it's done.

    The Rainbow of Happiness bundle is 10% off in our Spring catalog.  See it here.  I just noticed it's on low inventory. That means when they run our it will not be available again until the product is restocked. That Global Shipping issue you know!!

    It's hard to see in the photo above but the paper inside the shaker is our Rainbow Glimmer specialty paper from the annual catalog.  I share a neat trick to get these rainbow die-cuts in place in the video below or click here. 

    Here's a close up of another: 

    Rainbow of Happiness shaker Save

    Here are some details:

    • The large rainbow is made with the Brilliant Rainbow dies – it's part of the Rainbow of Happiness bundle. 
    • The small clouds are die-cut from our Supple Shimmer paper & the Rainbow dies
    • The sequins & beads in the shaker are from the Sparkle & Shine sequins
    • I used our Foam Adhesive strips on the back side of the White die-cut piece to raise it and keep the shaker pieces in place.
    • The large clouds are punched with our new Cloud Punch. One is punched from the Sunshine & Rainbows free DSP during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. See it here.

    The card above on the left has a cloud bank made with our Border Basic dies and our new Supple Shimmer paper.  Stampin' Up! is terrific at coordinating their products so incredibly.  

    The shaker card is the first project I make in the video below. Click on it to watch!
