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" 

And here's the video; click on the photo below to watch these two cards and one other too.

  • Team Swap cards featuring sponging techniques!

    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. 

    April Deloris Celebrate Sunflowers 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.  

    April Deloris Celebrate Sunflowers 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!

  • Limited Quantity of Mix & Match Box & Cards; a perfect gift!

    I have created many versions of this box & cards because I love it so much!  This first one features the True Love designer paper:

    It's a perfect gift for anyone as they can mix and match the sentiments in the box to the occasion they need.  They'll remove the dimensional backing and add the tag to the card.

  • Two projects with the brand new Color & Contour bundle!!

    I created these cards when I was working on some card swaps I participated in.  I like to create a bunch of cards and then decide which one's to use and mail out.  

    I chose the Color & Contour bundle because it's full of wonderful dies perfect for the pretty floral image in the stamp set. And I'm glad it's a 2-step stamp set. 

    For this first card I chose the Pale Papaya In Color and accented it with Black. 

    Can you spy all of the new products I used?  There are 5 if you count everything.  

    Color & Contour swap Save

    1. The Scalloped Contour dies – the pretty Black scalloped border and the main scalloped rectangle; all in the same bundle. 
    2. Color & Contour stamp set (included in the bundle at 10% off).  I stamped the background with a daisy stamp in the set 
    3. Pale Papaya ink and card stock
    4. Pale Papaya & White ribbon
    5. Genial Gems (the package includes Pale Papaya & Mint Macaron)

    Next is a card I did end up using for an online swap. The colors here are Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent.

    Look at the new Gingham paper!  It's included in the Pansy Petals 12" designer series paper pack.  Look at the gorgeous ribbon!  It's so soft & pretty and available in all of our new In Colors. 

    I also used another new dies set called Tailor Made Tags for the greeting.  It has 4 sizes of tags in two styles along with reinforcements for the holes.  I cannot wait for you all to have the new Annual Catalog in your hands!!  

    If you want to get your hands on the new Annual Catalog products early you can add any of these items to your Starter Kit seen here.  Our Starter Kit is always 20% off; you get $125 in product for just $99 and free shipping as well!
