Textures & Frames; who knew you could create such fun & variety?!

At first this stamp set baffled me; what would I do with it?  Well leave it up to the creativity of others to spark my own!  I got some ideas online and all of a sudden I couldn't stop! 

I shared all of these cards and tips on making them on this week's Tuesday FB Live.  Look!

The card above is my favorite.  It truly makes me smile!  That sentiment is from the In Your Words stamp set in the back of the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  It's free with a $300 order through Sept 30th.  See it here. 

IN YOUR WORDS HOST CLING STAMP SET (ENGLISH) Save

You may wonder how I achieved that perfectly shaped smile on these faces.  I searched all of my stamp sets for a circle shape and found one in the cat in the Cute Halloween set.  Watch the video here or seen below to see how I did it.  The eyes are clear rhinestones colored Black with my Blends marker.  The colors are Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, Fresh Freesia and Pacific Point. 

In the video I also share a neat tip on getting a smaller Postage shape from our Rectangular Postage Stamp punch.  

If you love quirky and unique get this while you can.  This fun Textures & Frames stamp set is free with a $50 through the end of September. *stock up on your favorites and earn it free!

This next card uses the same solid circle image to create a colorful background for the nice, large greeting in the Thinking, Thanks & Peace stamp set.  I also used the Basic Border dies to create the eye catching rick-rack border trim.

These colors include Fresh Freesia, Bermuda Bay & Granny Apple Green.

Next I added some vellum dragonflies to a colorful column on this White card using the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set and the Dragonflies punch.

The greeting is also from the wonderful In Your Words stamp set; I fussy cute it and popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I love this one too!  It's cased from my Team Member Tracey.  I had to make one in these colors.

The die-cut swirl is from the Painted Labels dies and again the greeting is from the In Your Words stamp set.

I was inspired by the card on the lower right (seen by other Demo's) to create one with TALL candles!  I used my Stamparatus for both of these cards!  Watch how in the video below or click here.

These colors include Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay, Pacific Point & Crushed Curry. The greeting is from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set. 

Which is your favorite??

And lastly is a simple card using the open circle image and a few stars die-cut with the Stitched Stars dies and our Rainbow Glimmer paper.

The greeting is from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set.  I love how easy you can create a masculine card with this unique stamp set!

  • Grassy Grove dies make amazing cards quickly! Video too!

    I was inspired to use the Grassy Grove bundle for a January card club project because of this card made by Deloris; one of my Flowerbug's Team members. 

    Grassy Grove Deloris Save

    See what I mean?  It's striking & stunning!  She used Blackberry Bliss and that background is the amazing New Horizon 6 X 6" DSP seen here. Her greeting is stamped on a stitched rectangle die-cut on Fresh Freesia CS.

    NEW HORIZONS 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

    I changed the colors but still kept the large die-cut and the pretty paper the star of the card.  

    Grassy Grove Jan Club Save

    The die-cut is Black, cut at 5 1/8" X 3 7/8".  The New Horizons paper is cut just a hair smaller.  We simply added two of the deer in the Grassy Grove dies and a greeting on an Oval punched piece. 

    Scroll down to see the video I made or click here. 

    The card bases were either Soft Succulent or Misty Moonlight as that coordinated with most of the designer paper scenes.  

    Grassy Grove Jan Club Save

    Here is what the inside looks like.  We stamped the trees in the Grassy Grove stamp set in Black and added a greeting. This greeting is part of the Special Moments stamp set seen here (free during our Sale-a-Bration promo now)

    Grassy Grove Jan Club Save

    Here are three of the cards all together.  See how the New Horizons designer paper can change the background scene so easily?  Everyone thought these made perfect masculine cards and sympathy cards as well.

  • Fast but fabulous Flowing Flowers card kit to go with my Easy 8 Card Wonder template

    I created these pretty cards on last week's FB Live.  I used the Flowing Flowers stamp set in a unique set of colors.

    This stamp set was one of my top picks in the Spring catalog.  Not just because it's flowers, but because of the Distinktive images and pretty greetings.  Look!

    Flowing Flowers OSW Save

    Here's a link to the live video where I made a totally different set of cards using the same OSW template. I created it a few years ago and love trying it with different stamp sets.  I find it's a fabulous way to get beautiful cards made quickly without a lot of measuring. 

    **Did you know that my Team members get all of my tutorials free? They receive every single one I make – at least 3-5 a month! We met on Sunday night via Zoom and many of us used the Easy 8 Card Wonder to make our cards. So fun to visit while we stamped!!  Ask me about the Starter Kit deal & joining my Flowerbug's Team. 

    Here is the 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of basic White card stock that I stamped using the images in the Flowing Flowers stamp set. 

    Flowing Flowers OSW page Save

    I did do a little 'surgery' on one of the stamps (seen the flower in the first photo above).  I cut the leaves and the spatter part away from the main flower so I could stamp them in different colors.  I know I'll use this stamp so much more this way.  I used our Paper Snips to do it.  I encourage you to try this on your stamps; it's scary but so worth it! 

    Here is one of the cards made with my template. *These three pieces were cut on the printed lines on the reverse side. No measuring!!

    You have a few choices if you want to make cards like these:

    • Get the template & PDF tutorial here in my Shop.  It's called the Easy 8 Card Wonder and includes directions for 4 different sets of cards & color combos.  $15 *Click here to see my other OSW's. Plus once you purchase it, you will get an email every time I update the tutorial with new color combos & stamp sets! 
    • Reserve a pre-cut kit to go by Feb 15th.  Contact me here.  I'll send you a PayPal invoice for it all. The kits are sent out at the end of February via Priority Mail. It's $46 with shipping.

    The Kit to go includes:

    • the Flowing Flowers 9 piece stamp set
    • a printed template on 8 1/2" X 11" Basic White CS
    • pre-cut & punched pieces for all 8 cards
    • the free PDF tutorial sent in an email  
    • You will need your own ink (I used Navy, Daffodil, Bermuda Bay & Coastal Cabana), adhesives & gems. 

    Flowing Flowers OSW Save

    You can see the video here where I show how the template is used.  I created a different group of cards using this Easy 8 Card Wonder template.

  • Masterful Monochromatic Floral Swap cards by my Flowerbugs

    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.

    Jan Tracey Meadow dies Save

    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.  

    Jan Candace Friendly Hello Save

    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.
