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.

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

• Masterful Monochromatic Floral Swap cards by my Flowerbugs

  January 25, 2022

  ---

  Today is the last of the pretty monochromatic cards my Flowerbug's gals made for our January swap.  The theme was a challenge for some but others found it easy.  Have you made a monochromatic card before?  If not try it! 

  This first card was made by Tracey using the Meadow dies in Blushing Bride & White.

  There are so many beautiful details! 

  • All of these flowers, butterfly & greeting dies are from the Meadow dies seen here.  They're cut from White, Bushing Bride & Vellum CS
  • The texture is from the Bark 3D embossing folder seen here.  
  • She sponged on one of the die-cuts and the textured piece too. 
  • The greeting is heat embossed using White embossing powder

   

  Next is a card made by Ginny using the Color & Contour bundle seen here.  She chose to use the In Color Pale Papaya.

  The designer paper is from our 6 X 6" In Color assorted DSP pack seen here.  Did you know we have patterned paper in each of our Stampin' Up! colors!  I love how easy it is to coordinate our products with our color line.  It just makes me happy! 

   

  Next is a card Candace made using the new Sale-a-Bration free bundle called Friendly Hello seen here.

  Here are the details:
  

  • Her colors are Blushing Bride & Flirty Flamingo. She stamped her flowers on both the greeting circle and the Blushing Bride card base.  
  • She used the Basic Border dies to trim off the front edge for a stitched detail. 
  • The striped DSP is on the inside of the card.  It's from the Host Pattern Party DSP
  • She textured the larger circle with the new Gingham embossing folder.  
  • The ribbon is our new Frayed White ribbon in the Jan-June catalog.

• 3 completely different cards with the Friendly Hello bundle; WOW!

  January 21, 2022

  ---

  Our Sale-a-Bration promotion is everyone's favorite time of year; who doesn't love to get something free?!  

  This year our product line includes a stamp set & 12 X 12" designer paper combo called Friendly Hello.  I love both the stamps and the DSP.  The stamps include floral, botanical and greeting images and the paper can be either soft & pretty or bright & eye catching!

  Look at these three extremely different cards all featuring the same stamps & DSP:

  This card is one I made for an online swap I participated in.  I chose to use the Granny Apple Green sheet of DSP and paired it with Black & White. It's a simple layout that really shows off the colors & products.

  Details:

  • The greeting is stamped onto a die-cut from the Hippo & Friends die. 
  • That delicate leaf die-cut is from the Tropical Layers dies in the Jan-June catalog.  
  • The butterfly is from the Catching Butterflies Sale-a-Bration stamp set. 

  Next is a pretty swap Ginny made but so much softer in colors.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  She covered the entire card front with her Designer Paper and added a banner from another sheet of the DSP under the main White scalloped piece.  She stamped in Gray Granite and colored in the bird & flowers with Blends markers.  

  Lastly today is another card I made for a swap.  I paired the Pool Party sheet of this Designer Paper with Early Espresso.  I've always loved these colors together.  I stamped the flowers in Early Espresso ink onto our Vellum card stock and immediately heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  Yes you CAN emboss with our Classic ink pads!  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  I textured the Pool Party card stock with the new Gingham embossing folder and rounded the upper right corner.  I also cut our new frayed 3/4" White ribbon in half lengthwise and wrapped it round the left edge of the card stock.  

  Thanks so much for stopping in to see my projects today!  If you want to get this pretty pack of Designer Paper & the Friendly Hello stamp set click here to see it.  It's free with any $100 purchase right now!
