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.  

Sketch 35 Save

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.

  • Positive Thoughts with Nature’s Thoughts dies; stamp once but get two layers!

    These pretty cards were made on one of my recent Facebook Live videos. See it here:

    The Positive Thoughts stamp set is easily a big favorite from the January – June Mini catalog. And now we have dies that coordinate with it called Nature's Thoughts; see them here. 

    Positive Thoughts duo sponged Save

    I stamped both white layers at the same time; I believe this technique is called double (or triple) time stamping.  After stamping I sponged the edges and used the stitched rectangle die from the Nature's Thoughts set to cut out the top layer.  Next add it to the next layer before adding to your card.  Easy! 

    Positive Thoughts Grape Save

    The colors here are Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape.  See the detail on the dies here?  Gorgeous! 

    Positive Thoughts Grape Save

    These colors are Blueberry Bushel with Bermuda Bay.  I also sponged the die-cut feathers and sponged those too.  That little butterfly is also from the Nature's Thoughts dies.  

    These dies are part of the Coordination Product Release available now; while supplies last.  Here's a link to the Positive Thoughts stamp set.

    This unique die cuts out the center of your paper; not the outside.  It gives you a beautiful bouquet of flowers in a frame.  That cute greeting banner is also part of the die set. 

    Details:

    • The greeting is from the Timeless Tulips stamp set and is heat embossed in White embossing powder on Calypso Coral CS.
    • The ribbon is the 1/4" White crinkled ribbon colored with the Dark Pool Party Blends marker.
    • The flowers and stems are colored with Blends markers; they color so easily! 
    • That pretty designer paper behind the window is the Follow Your Art paper in the annual catalog on page 165.

  • Under My Umbrella Bridge fold card with video

    This card was a big hit at my Card Clubs in February.  It's a bridge fold card featuring the Under My Umbrella bundle.  See it here. 

    February Under My Umbrella Save

    To create this card you'll cut your base card short and add another short piece at the bottom. The Daffodil and Balmy Blue layers 'bridge' the base layers.  Really cool.  And I was able to die-cut the Balmy Blue scalloped rectangle from the leftover piece from the middle.  I love using my card stock so perfectly.  *See measurements below.

    The Under My Umbrella stamps and punch bundle is just $30.50 for both! It has so MANY cute images and wonderful greetings.  I just love it! We stamped the images in Basic Gray ink and colored them in with Blends markers 

    Under my Umbrella Save

    The striped and raindrops designer paper is from the Pleased as Punch paper; available while supplies last now with the Coordination Product Release special.  You can see it here.  It's so bright and springlike!
