Many of the cards in this kit are fun folds.  Remember that everything is pre-cut for you including die-cuts & punched pieces.  The only thing you have to cut is your brand new designer paper that's included in the card kit.  

Besides a half pack of designer paper you also get shares of three spools of twine and Black Matte dots.  The PDF tutorial is free in the kit.  It's $28 plus shipping and the kits are mailed out at the end of the month.  

I design these cards so all you need are greeting images; this time I featured the Happy Labels stamp set seen here. Add it on to the kit to go and you're just $6 away from a free Sale-a-Bration choice! Contact me here to add on to your kit. Black ink is the only color you'll need to finish the cards.

• A pretty home decor framed sampler with Life is Beautiful!

  August 27, 2020

  I made this shadow box home decor piece with my Life is Beautiful stamp set.  It fits in a 12" shadow box frame.

  Here's the Life is Beautiful stamp set I helped design as part of my Million Dollars in sales achievement with Stampin' Up!. You can order it here.

  Two tips! 

  • The 'ground' image can also be clouds!  Cool, right?
  • And if you stamp the tree twice, you can achieve a 'thicker' trunk and fuller tree.  Just lower the image on the second stamping.

  I did use the Field of Flowers stamp set for the grass, flowers & dragonflies.  I sponged the white card stock with Balmy Blue to remove the 'white' background.  I added Shimmery Crystal Effects on the dragonflies and leaves on the top greeting piece. 

  Colors used: Soft Suede, Granny Apple Green, Calypso Coral, Old Olive, Balmy Blue

  Products: In Good Taste Designer Paper, sponges, Linen Thread, Heat embossing in White, Shimmery Crystal Effects, Artistry Blooms adhesive backed sequins, 2 shades of Brown markers for bird house,

• Beautiful Autumn paired with Plaid Tidings

  August 26, 2020

  ---

  There are lots of gorgeous Fall products in the 2020 Holiday catalog.  I paired a few of my favorites to create this card; the Beautiful Autumn punch bundle and Plaid Tidings 6 X 6" designer paper pack. 

  Save

  I trimmed off 3/4" from the front flap to reveal the strip of pretty Plaid Tidings designer paper.  I chose to use Bumblebee, Mint Macaron, Early Espresso and Terracotta Tile inks here.  

  Save

  The Beautiful Autumn bundle includes the stamp set and the three leaf punches; all for 10% off.  Click here to see it online. 

  I also used the Wrapped in Texture embossing folder for the front layer, which is 5 1/4" X 3". See them here. 

  Save

  Look at the detailed punched images here!   You might also notice the Sequins for Everything.  Love the variety of shapes and colors in these.

• Gather Together card with a cool punch trick!!

  August 25, 2020

  ---

  Marilyn made this pretty card for our Team swap.  She used the Gather Together bundle in the 2020 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog.  There are two really neat tricks you might not notice at first glance.  

  Save

  Can you spy the two special techniques here?  Keep reading and I'll share them below.

  Measurements:

  • Cajun Craze 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • Very Vanilla 4 3/4" X 3 1/2"
  • Rich Razzleberry 5" X 3 3/4"
  • Plaid Tidings 1/2" X 3 3/4"

  Products Used:

  • Gather Together Bundle seen here just $38.50
  • Woodland embossing folder
  • Cajun Craze & Mango Melody inks
  • Label me Lovely punch
  • Stampin Spritzer

  Okay, now I'll reveal her two tricks!  

  1. Can you see the changes in colors on the textured leaves?  The bottom three leaves were die-cut & embossed (done all at once!) and then spritzed with water.  The water changes the color on the leaves!  I cannot believe it's just water and no ink to get this effect.  Super cool!!
  2. Next is the greeting shape.  It's made with the Label me Lovely punch.  You can get multiple shapes from this punch.  Here's how:

  • Punch one piece out.  
  • Add a bit of adhesive to the end of a thin piece of card stock and adhere it to the punched piece. 
  • Insert the piece back into your punch and adjust it to get whatever size shape you want!  

  Save

  Here are three shapes I made with this punch.  Super neat and so versatile!  See the punch here.
