The Sending Smiles bundle is so versatile! Check out these two projects.

Last week I shared three projects with the Sending Smiles bundle seen here.  I think it's one of the best choices in the new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!  

I also wanted to use the Pretty Prints designer paper and chose the Bermuda Bay sheet in the package.  I also wanted to use one of the new In Colors and settled on Sweet Sorbet.

Next I had to choose a coordinating color to soften these two vibrant colors and settled on Blushing Bride.  I was so surprised how well these colors combined!  

The next thing that inspired this layout was a card sketch we have been working on in my Flowerbug's Team group.  As you can see I changed the main image to be on the angle.

Sketches are one of my favorite ways to get inspiration on card layouts. 

Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  • DSP 4" square
  • White 2 3/4" square
  • Sweet Sorbet 2 7/8" square
  • Glimmer paper strip 3/8" X 4 1/4"  

Can you see that the flowers are darker in the center and lighter on the outer petals?  I inked the flowers in Sweet Sorbet ink and stamped off once.  Then I used a sponge dauber to add more Sweet Sorbet ink to just the center.  You can see this technique in the video here.

This next card was a make & take at my New Catalog Launch party a few weeks ago.  I wanted to have a cute but easy card they could make featuring our new In Colors.

They were able to stamp the flowers easily and perfectly with the Stamparatus. You can see how it's done in the video below.

  • White layers are 3 3/4" X 5"

  • Sweet Citrus video; a Grapefruit version with optional gift card

    We made this CUTE fun fold card at my February Card Clubs and it was a big hit!  Everyone loved the fresh color combo and how cool the textured fruit images are.

    I used the Sweet Citrus bundle seen here and these colors: Flirty Flamingo, Pale Papaya and Granny Apple Green.  You can sure see the texture in the photo above.  Did you know you can use our Hybrid embossing folders to texture and die-cut all at once?  It's super cool and saves a step. 

    I show how in the video along with how to stamp the fruit perfectly using the Stamparatus.  Perfect every time!

    The card is a bit different in that the lower panel can be left open to add a gift card or money into.  Or seal it up; your choice.

  • Sweet Citrus bundle with a Hybrid embossing folder; you can texture & cut at the same time!

    In a recent video I shared multiple projects featuring the Sweet Citrus bundle.  Every card I make with this set is my favorite!  How can that be?

    Let's start with colors – they're Balmy Blue with Daffodil Delight and Garden Green.  So fresh and spring-like.  

    The designer paper is called Country Gingham seen here. 

    The images and greetings are all from the Sweet Citrus stamp set. It comes in a bundle with dies AND a Hybrid embossing folder. See it here

    What is a Hybrid embossing folder?  It's one that allows you to cut AND texture at the same time.  You can use it the usual way as well.  But using the die & folder together eliminates a step.  I show how it's done in the video here. 

    SWEET CITRUS BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    There are many reasons to get this bundle but the greetings are a big one.  So perfect and coordinate nicely with the stamp theme.
