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.

  • White layers are 3 3/4" X 5"

    The Nuts About You stamp set is just plain cute!  It's a 2-step set as you can see.  The squirrels, leaves and even acorn have two images each so there's no need to color!

    Well Marilyn cut one box in half and created this adorable treat box for her Card Club friends!  

    Marilyn's Halloween box Save

    It features the Cute Halloween designer paper and Frightfully Cute stamp set. 

    There's a template for the card stock below.  She used the Basic Border dies (seen here) to cut the bottom edge but you wouldn't have to.  If you don't use the Basic Borders Dies on the edge, you could cut the 5-1/2" down to 5".

    She filled it with lots of treats & embellishments.  It also fits an entire full size Kit Kat bar!

    She uses a mini velcro dot for closure.  The card stock is actually inserted inside the box and mini glue dots are used to keep it in place.
