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 next card is one we made at my April card clubs here in Minot.  It's called a Split Panel card.  The designer paper is from the recently retired Pattern Party host DSP.  We have a new host DSP called Design a Daydream that is just as great in the annual catalog.  I love these free paper options for hosts!!

    My colors include Granny Apply Green, Bermuda Bay and Mango Melody.  A little bit of Coastal Cabana too.  We used the Cactus Builder punch for the pot, cactus and flowers.  You can see the measurements below.

  • New In Colors paired with the Kite Delight stamp set

    I shared this colorful kite card on a recent FB live video here.  I wanted to use the Kite Delight stamp set and the newest In Colors coming out on May 3rd. 

    The kite and sun are fussy cut and the kite is colored in with new In Color Blends markers.

    I've been sharing the new In Colors with my Club gals this month and everyone LOVES them!  They are so bright, happy & will be perfect additions to our color line.  

    If you're interested in getting these new In Colors you can opt in for my In Color bundle now through May 7th.  See the options here. There's also an add on option for our In Color Blends markers – buy 4 get 1 free and a Designer paper share too!

    I heat embossed the clouds with White embossing powder.  But the image is an outline image and I wanted my clouds to be 'white'. So I used the Chalk Marker to color it in.  Unfortunately it was on the retired list and is unavailable now. But two other ideas are to use a White watercolor pencil or a blender pen and White craft ink.

    The Kite Delight stamp set is retiring at the end of May.  I also created two other cards with it during the video.  See all three cards below:

  • Change is Beautiful Paper Pumpkin alternatives; plus discounted past kits while supplies last!

    April's Paper Pumpkin kit is filled with butterflies, scenes & fun fold cards.  Each month I enjoy creating alternative designs with the contents in the kits to share with my subscribers each month.  
     
    I couldn't wait to play with this kit!  Here's a pretty card I made just an hour after receiving my box:
     
     
    I cut the front of a card base to fit on the front of a Crushed Curry card base and used other elements in the kit (butterfly, flower, banner & gems) to create this scene.  I love changing up the cards; the kits are great as is but the challenge of creating something new is fun!
     
    This next card uses the other half of the original card base.  The flower layer and the polka dot layer behind it are from the original card.  I did trim them just a bit to fit on a White layer.  
    Other Details: 
    • I stamped the butterfly in the kit onto the Granny Apple Green layer with Versamark ink for a soft background. 
    • The caterpillar is from the kit.  
    • The butterflies are stamped on White card stock using Black Memento ink and colored in with Blends markers. 
    • The greeting is stamped on an Oval die-cut. 
    Heads up on May's Paper Pumpkin kit – it will feature each of our 5 new In Colors AND they are adding Golden Vouchers worth $25 USD to some of the boxes. The winners will find their Golden Voucher in their May 2022 Paper Pumpkin box.
