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" 

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

  • Gingerbread & Peppermint cards – get the pre-cut kit or the PDF tutorial

    I've been thrilled with the response to my card kits to go lately.  Obviously many of you love pre-cut kits!  Christmas is a great time to get them when many crafters are looking for easy ideas to create their holiday cards quickly. 

    I chose the Gingerbread & Peppermint designer paper this month for its fun, nostalgic designs and traditional colors.  Look at the cards in this kit:

    Gingerbread all Save

    Most of these cute cards are unique fun folds too.  This designer paper is filled with larger shaped images for cute accents, or use the plaids, stripes, and swirls for candy, backgrounds, or accent pieces. 

    This card kit is available through November 18th & includes the following:

    • 10 pre-cut cards including die-cut & punched pieces. 
    • $20 in product including the Gingerbread & Peppermint DSP & Red Rhinestones.
    • the free PDF tutorial with photos, measurements, directions and supply list

    It does not include stamped images, red ribbon or white twine.  You will need to cut your new Designer paper to finish the cards as shown including fussy cutting some images from the paper. 

    I used Real Red, Old Olive & Early Espresso inks as well as the Frosted Gingerbread & Snowman Season stamp sets.  You can easily substitute other greetings. 

    This kit to go will mail out at the end of November via Priority Mail.

  • Ever Eden; a gorgeous card kit to go!

    Did you see the new Eden's Garden Collection yet?  It's available starting today!  It's a combination of a sneak peak bundle from the upcoming Spring Catalog AND exclusive papers & gems available from November 2nd to January 3rd (while supplies last). You can see it all here.  

    Eden's garden Save

    I may be called Flowerbug but my real love is botanicals – trees & leaves.  This collection of products is gorgeous in greens, gold & a bit of Cherry Cobbler and consists of mostly leaves, berries & stems.  I've made sooo many projects with it in the last week; it's truly beautiful.  

    Below are the 10 cards I created using the Ever Eden specialty designer paper; most of them are fancy folds too.  I do like to jazz up a normal card with a bit of interest using fun folds, color combos or unique designs. 

    Eden's Garden all. Save

    This pre-kit to go includes 10 pre-cut cards (including punched or die-cut pieces), $20 in product and the PDF tutorial.  It features the Ever Eden specialty paper; beautiful in Evergreen & Succulent & Gold.

    There is a limited quantity of these available.  Order by November 16th.  It will mail out the last week of November via Priority Mail. 

    *Add on the Eden's Garden bundle to this kit and get an additional huge 22 project tutorial FREE and an extra 4 card class!  *message me for this option and pay all at once (Plus get additional gifts seen below)

    You'll receive the 10 card PDF tutorial in an email immediately upon payment. *Check your spam!

    This kit to go includes the following:

    • 10 pre-cut cards; 2 each of 5 designs.  Most are unique folds 
    • 1/2 pkg. Ever Eden specialty designer paper
    • a share of Garden gems
    • 3/8" open weave Evergreen ribbon 

    You'll use a paper trimmer to cut your new designer paper to complete the cards. You'll also need ink & stamps. I used Evening Evergreen & Soft Succulent inks and the Eden's Garden stamp set; but you easily can substitute whatever you own.

    I highly recommend adding on the bundle; I can add it to your kit to go in the same package! 

    **This kit is not the monthly kit my subscribers will receive.  That is the Gingerbread & Peppermint kit seen here. I'll share it tomorrow.  Get both November kits here.
