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.

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"

  • Heartfelt Hexagon cards with free printable project sheets

    Today I'm sharing a few more cards made with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch bundle. See the first project here. 

    When creating this next card I chose to use the Delightful Floral designer paper seen here. I had a few large scraps in the package and created this card:

    Heartfelt Hexagon Delightful floral Save

    It's a classic layout that's perfect for using up those random pieces of designer paper you might have.  I like to layer one of the pieces to bring in another color layer; Pretty Peacock here. Then I simply added a layered Hexagon punch combined with the pretty Elegant Edge Tag Topper punch. You can see it here online.  

    My Lemon Lime Twist strip is 1" X 3 1/2" which is perfect for that delicate edge.  

    It's quite easy to layer the Hexagon punch.  Punch a second contrasting piece, cut it in half horizontally and add the stamped punched piece to it leaving a small border at the top & bottom.  You can see how this is done in the video below.

    Next is an easy card layout featuring designer paper scraps.  This time I chose the beautiful All About Autumn specialty designer paper.  This has been so popular they cannot keep it in stock!  It's currently unavailable but should return the week of October 30th.

  • Unique Christmas card swaps; they’re not your average cards!

    Today I'm sharing the last of our October Flowerbug's Team Christmas card swaps.  These two cards are not your average Christmas cards! 

    First is a pretty card made by Marla.  She put together a unique color combination of Pretty Peacock with Moody Mauve and it works! 

    Oct Marla Ringed with Nature Save

    She chose two stamp sets for her card; Ringed with Nature and Vertical Blooms. Both are from the 2023-24 Annual Catalog.  The designer paper is the Earthen Elegance, also from the Annual catalog. 

    Measurements:

    • Moody Mauve card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
    • Moody Mauve inside 6 1/2" X 3 1/4" score at 3 1/4" and 5 3/8"
    • DSP layers 2 pieces at 1 7/8" X 5 1/4", and inside back is 4" x 5 1/4"
    • White layers 3" square, 1 7/8" X 3" and 7/8" X 3"

    Sharon made this super cute reindeer card featuring the Sending Cheer dies seen here.

    Oct Sending Cheer Sharon Save

    Can you tell that the reindeer are upside down gingerbread men?  Rudolf is a complete die-cut but the Mrs is half.  She added so much detail on them too! 

    • The 'hello' die cut is from the Rustic Crate dies
    • The antlers are from Autumn Leaves dies.
    • Ears are from the monkey punch. 

    She used the Joy of Christmas designer paper on the front, cutting it in half with the Border Basics dies.  A great idea!  

    Oct Sharon Sending Cheer Save

    The greetings are from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set (online exclusive). 

    Below you can see all of the Flowerbug's October swap cards.  Details on each if you go back each day this week.
