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"

  • How to make an Easy Fun Fold Window card with the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Paper

    This is one of the card folds I demonstrated on last week's FB Live where I featured the Daffodil Daydream bundle along with the coordinating Daffodil Afternoon DSP.

    I love how our products coordinate so wonderfully.  This Daffodil Afternoon DSP is part of our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  It's free with any $50 Stampin' Up! order.  This promotion ends on February 28th. See all of the free products here.  

    For the greetings I used the Special Moments stamp set; also in our 2022 Sale-a-Bration catalog.  It's a big set of 21 images and it's free with a $100 order through February.  

    The cards look like a simple window card from the front; before you open it.  I used the Layering Circles dies, cutting through both the DSP and card base for the window.

    The front of these cards both use the same Designer Paper; you can get a totally different look depending on which sheet you choose. The cute layered butterflies are from the Daffodil dies. 

    This is how the card looks when you open it.  It's a simple double fold that the circles are easily added to.  Just close the card and add them 'through' the window onto the inside layer.

    Below is the video.  This card is the second project I share.  If you like fun fold cards be sure to catch the last one; it's a wonderful accordion style card!
