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.  

SENDING SMILES BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

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.

  • Artist of the Month projects with the Bag of Bones suite!

    Our Artist of the Month for September was Candy who chose the Bag of Bones bundle. She did an incredible job on her projects! 

    BAG OF BONES BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    The suite is no longer available because the Glow in the Dark bats & ghosts have been discontinued. This means you can still get everything else individually. 

    First is a card showing off both the Bag of Bones bundle and the Them Bones designer paper.

    She tore her paper and pieces it on her card base.  Then she stamped the skeleton using Versmark onto Black card stock heat embossing it with White embossing powder. Love the boots and hat on him!  The circles are die-cuts from the new Deckled Circle dies in the 2023 Holiday catalog.  

    Here's the Them Bones designer paper:

    Next is a neat monochromatic card in Basic Gray and Gray Granite.  She stamped the background with the skeleton bones!

    Bag of Bones 5 Save

    The tombstone, fence, bats, cat and dog are all die-cuts from the Bag of Bones bundle. The dog and cat are stamped on our Glow in the Dark specialty paper.  You must use Stazon in for this or it may run. She sponged on gray ink onto the tombstone and fence for a 'spooky' look.  

    Next is a cute treat holder made with that same tombstone die-cut.  She simply added a few strips of card stock inside the two die-cuts to create a pouch.

    This card is so fun; she featured a panel from the Them Bones designer paper to show off the dancing skeleton.  Love his suspenders, hat and bow tie!!  

    Bag of Bones 3 Save

    These skeletons are all heat embossed with White embossing powder onto Black card stock. You can see a few of the glow in the dark bats and ghosts here.  Unfortunately they are sold out now and will not return.  

    Here's a slimline card showing off more of the Them Bones designer paper.  Her colors are Basic Gray, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze. 

    Bag of Bones 2 Save

    Isn't it cute how the skeleton on the bottom has his dog on a leash?!  

    This next card shows off a neat background effect.  She used the Deckled Circle dies 

    Bag of Bones 4 Save

    The background is made by sponging on the houndstooth mask (Abundant Beauty decorative masks) then debossed it with the Distressed Tile embossing folder. She then dragged the Blackberry Bliss ink pad across it.  Cool!  

    Didn't she create a fabulous group of projects. She truly showcased this Halloween suite wonderfully!  Fantastic job Candy!!!

  • Pick of the Patch Diamond Flap fun fold card.

    I created this super fun card on a video a few weeks ago. It features the Pick of the Patch stamp & punch bundle and Them Bones designer series paper.  

    Pick of the Patch diamond card Save

    I was inspired by a card my friend Susie Wood made and sent to me. She is fabulous at designing fun fold cards and an amazing designer. Check out her blog here. 

    She used the same designer paper and the Leaf Fall embossing folder but her stamp set is Cheers to the Season seen here.

    Here's the inside view. You can see the Leaf Fall embossing folder here.
