Team Swap cards featuring sponging techniques!

April 26, 2021

Our latest Flowerbug Team swap featured sponging techniques and they knocked it out of the park! Look at these:

The first card was made by Deloris. She used the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle. These items are carrying over to the next catalog but they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off. You can see it here.

Save

Her colors are Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and White. I absolutely LOVE the unique colors she used here and isn't her sponging amazing!? That stitched rectangle of vellum adds the perfect, soft background for the beautiful flower.

Next is a fabulous card made by Candace using A Good Man stamp set.

Her colors are Crumb Cake, Night of Navy & Pool Party.

Save

She sponged the edges of her stamped pieces and rubbed the Crumb Cake ink pad directly on the Painted Textures embossing folder before running it through the Cut & Emboss Machine. *See that folder here.

That stitched tag is one of our new dies coming in the 2021 Annual Catalog. It's called 'Tailor Made Tags'. the greeting is from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set; also new! She colored the image in with Blends markers.

Stop in again tomorrow for more cards featuring sponging techniques!

Beautiful Balloons ‘latch’ fun fold card; new products in the Annual Catalog

May 5, 2023
I've sure been enjoying playing with new products from the new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up! The Bright & Beautiful suite is one we could pre-order early as a Demonstrator.

Here's one of my recent projects:

Save

I made it with my Flowerbug's Team on our monthly Zoom gathering. It was a mystery card designed by Candace.

My colors include Fresh Freesia, Blueberry Bushel and white.

Save

I placed the top panel on the left edge of the front card fold, adding Dimensionals to just the very left edge. It allows the right fold to 'latch' and hold the card closed. Below is a photo showing how the right side 'catches' under the front panel.

Save
Measurements are:
- Card base 5 ½” X 7 ¼” scored at 4 ¼”
- left panel 4 ¼” square score on one side at 1”
- front panel 2 ½” X 3 ½”
- Basic White 4” X 5 ¼”(inside) & front is 2 ¼” X 3 ¼”
- Portrait DSP 2 ¾” X 5 ¼”
- Portrait DSP; same or different 3” X 4”
Save

All of these products are now available in the new Annual Catalog. If you don't have a local demonstrator let me know; I'll send you one for just $5. If you order from me online first I'll send it free!

Crafting with You; one more way to use it!

May 4, 2023

During this week's Live video I shared how to make this cute card featuring the Crafting with You bundle seen here; new in the 2023-24 Annual Catalog.
Save

This card is done in Boho Blue with only white to accent it. I stamped the background with the Cheerful Daisies stamp. I cut a slit in the stamped & die-cut machine with a craft knife to insert the textured White layer into.

I added a 1" strip of the new In Color 6 X 6" DSP to the White cardstock before I die-cut it with the new Countryside Corners dies.

Save

I shared the following photo last week to show you the newest In Colors but since I made a video showing you how to make this card I'm sharing it again now.

Which color is your favorite? From left to right – Pebbled Path, Copper Clay, Wild Wheat, Moody Mauve & Boho Blue.
