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. 

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. 

The Summer Shadow dies are free during Sale-a-Bration (this promo ends Sept 30th).  Now is a great time to stock up on essentials when you earn free products with your orders.  Card stock, inks, In Colors, Blends markers, Designer Paper etc.  Check these dies out here!  

I have more Summer Shadow projects to share with you tomorrow! Or check out the FB Live replay video here.

  • Sweet Encircled with Love Valentine’s card


    Tracey created this striking card with the Made with Love designer paper:

    I love the abstract designer paper pieces she added to her White layer. Then to make sure the greeting was the focal point she added the top square of DSP. Perfect!
    This is a great example of taking leftover pieces of coordinating DSP and layering them up. A great way to use scraps!

    She used the Encircled with Love stamp set seen here along with the 1 3/4″ & 1 7/8″ circle punches. Her colors include Real Red, Flirty Flamingo with White which she got from the pretty designer paper.

    See the Made with Love designer paper here.

    Your card inspired me to look at and use my DSP scraps Tracey! Thank you.

  • Triple Z-fold with Friendly Foliage with video & free project sheet


    We made this cool card at my Card Clubs in November. I adore the Friendly Foliage bundle!

    This fun fold looks difficult but it’s quite deceiving. It’s really so simple to make; I hope you try one! I’m a bit obsessed with this fold!

    The Friendly Foliage bundle is a big favorite of many since it came out in our Online store a few months ago.

    The designer paper seen below is from the Need for Tweed package which is on the Last Chance List right now and discounted. See it here.

    I also used the Branching Out dies for the outer frame. My colors include Very Vanilla, Lost Lagoon & Basic Beige. This soft & soothing color combo really works!

    Here is the free project sheet. Click here to download or print it.

    And here is the video tutorial for you.

  • Finally! We’re getting a new Stampin’ Positioner!


    Stampin’ Up! has created a new Stampin’ Positioner for us! Since they had to take the Stamparatus off the market we’ve been waiting for a new tool for perfect stamping. Well, it’s now here!

    As you can see in the photo above it’s a brand new design. It has two clear plates, easy to use magnets and a brand new ‘press’ type mechanism.

    Right now for those who are a Demonstrator, it’s available to pre-order until February 2nd for $49. After that, the new Stampin’ Positioner will be added to the Starter Kit FREE in February!

    The cost of the Starter Kit is $99 and includes $125 in product of your choice. But in February, they’ll add in the new Stampin’ Positioner to ALL Demo’s starter kits!

    This is super exciting for us Demo’s now and also for those that join in February!

    It sounds like the general population will have to wait to get theirs…. but they promise it will be available sometime later this year to everyone.
