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.  

Sketch 35 Save

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.

One of my favorite thing about this bundle is how versatile the greetings are; so many possibilites! 

Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4" 
  • White layers are 3 3/4" X 5"
  • Starry Sky is 3 7/8" X 5 1/8"

    This week I'll be sharing the cards I made on last week's FB Live video.  I chose to feature the pretty Wisteria Wishes bundle seen here. 

    Join me here for tomorrow's video.

    My colors include Orchid Oasis, Parakeet Party and a little Old Olive with White.  This card was pretty instinctive; hanging wisteria is the first thing that comes to mind.  There are a few tricks I used to alter the leaves die-cuts though.  I trimmed off a few extra pieces to fit the stamped images better.  You can see what I did in the video below.  

    This bundle is super versatile!  I made two more cards in the video plus shared a bunch of swap card ideas as well.  You might be inspired to purchase it once you see them all!

  • Get great ideas with the Last bunch of the amazing In Color card swaps!

    I've shared my Flowerbugs Team In Color card swaps the last few days and today is the last bunch. I hope you're been enjoying them.  They really are the best stampers!  

    The guidelines for this month's Team swap was to use at least 2 new In Colors on our card.  

    This first one was made by Candace who used 4 out of 5 of the new In Colors!  Look at this fun layout! 

    June Candace Sweetest Cherries Save

    She used the Sweetest Cherries bundle, the 6 X 6" pack of In Color DSP and the Stylish Shapes dies seen here.  Her card base is Parakeet Party and the next layer is Starry Sky.  Super cute!

    Next up is an adorable card made by Deloris who used the Sweet Songbird bundle.

    She used Tahitian Tide, Sweet Sorbet and a bit of Parakeet Party for the leaves.  I love this sweet bundle!  

    Lastly is a fun layout Karen made using the Rectangular Postage punch.  Her colors include Sweet Sorbet & Starry Sky.

    I love how she added the greeting with the same punch as the first 4 but turned horizontally.  What a fun card layout this is!

    I hope you've enjoyed all of the card ideas with our newest In Color cards.  See the first set here and the second here.

  • 2nd set of Incredible In Color card swaps by the Flowerbugs

    Yesterday I shared the first set of In Color card swaps by my Flowerbug's Team and today I'm sharing more. 

    The first card is a fun fold card made by Karen A.  This is such an easy fold as it's just adding one score line to your standard card.

    June Nothings better than Karen Save

    She chose to use the Nothing's Better Than stamp set. Her colors include Sweet Sorbet & Parakeet Party with a bit of Early Espresso & Crumb Cake for the greeting & cookies.

    For your card base of 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 1 1/4" and 4 1/4".  The Designer paper is from the In Color prints pack and measure 2 3/4" and 1" X 5 1/4" tall on both the front and inside of the card.  The inside White is 2 3/4" X 5 1/4". 

    Her front greeting elements include the new Decorative Circle punch seen here and the stitched circle die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies. 

    June Nothings better than Karen Save

    Next up – Annette used the same stamp set; 'Nothing's Better Than'. It coordinates with the Love you More Than dies.  Her colors include Sweet Sorbet and Black with just a bit of Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide & Orchid Oasis for her coloring.  

    She textured her Sweet Sorbet designer paper with the Timeworn Type embossing folder.  

    June Nothing's Better Than Annette Save

    The tag dies are the Tailor Made Tags dies seen here.  

    Next is a fun fold card made by Marilyn featuring the Cup of Tea bundle.  Her main colors include Starry Sky and Parakeet Party.  

    June Cup of Tea Marilyn Save

    She used the Layering Circles and Stylish Shapes dies for her circle element.  The pretty texture is the Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder seen here.

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/2" & 6 1/2" 
    • DSP  5 1/4" X 2 1/4"
