Time of Giving for your Holiday projects with video tutorial.


On last Tuesday's FB Live I focused on the Time of Giving bundle in the current 2021 Holiday Catalog.  This bundle is for many occasions and more fun and versatile than I thought! 

I'll start with the autumn card featuring the baby wipe technique.

Isn't it pretty?!  My colors are Bermuda Bay, Pumpkin Pie & Old Olive. Those are the ink refills I used on my baby wipe. If you haven't done the baby wipe technique please watch the video below or click here.  It's so simple and all you need is a folded baby wipe and a few colors of ink refills.  

The little die-cut leaves on the greeting are also in this bundle.  The Gold Fine Art ribbon is from the annual catalog as well as the white die-cut for the greeting.  It's in the Stitched So Sweetly set.


  All of these images & dies are from this Tidings of Giving bundle seen here. 

Next is a beautiful snowflake card that's mostly white but the pop of colors shows off this pretty die wonderfully!  It creates a 'window' effect.  I die-cut three dies in a row on my White CS and for the soft colors under it I used my blending brushes with Just Jade & Bermuda Bay ink.

For this next card I chose the Santa & sleigh die.  As you can see I left a wide border on this one so I could stamp the greeting directly on it.  This pretty background paper is from the Beauty of the Earth DSP in the Stampin' Up! annual catalog seen here. 

And here is a card using the ornament die.  Again I cut three in a row, lowering the die each time.  Another bit of the Beauty of the Earth designer paper on the side and a greeting added with the Double Oval Punch.  Glittered white ribbon finishes it off. 

And below is the video where you can see how I achieved these techniques.  I hope you watch!  *Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel here too!

  • A WOW fun fold card with Dragonfly Dreams!


    This weekend my Flowerbug's Team held our monthly card swap & Team gathering.  Our theme was window cards and I'll be sharing them all week long!

    Check out this special Z fold card Jacki made!  

    Her colors are Terracotta Tile, Black & White and the Dandy Garden Designer paper seen here.  Did you know that the Dragonfly Punch coordinates with this Designer Paper?  She punched her dragonflies directly out of the paper!  No stamping for these at all! See the Dragonfly Garden bundle here. 

    Check out the whole suite of products here. 

    This card features almost two full card bases with just a few score lines. It looks a lot harder than it is.  

    • Terracotta Tile – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • Whisper White – front is 4" X 5 1/4", inside fold is 5 1/4" X 8" scored on the long edge at 4" X 6". 
    • Designer paper – 1 3/4" X 5" 

    Her 'window' in the front is 2 3/8" and the black circle on the inside fold is the same.  The White greeting circle is 2 1/8".  All of these circles are cut with the Circle dies in the Annual Catalog. 

    Steps to assemble this card:

    • You'll adhere the White front to the main card base and then cut your window. 
    • Stamp on the inside White card before adhering to the inside of the main card.
    • Add the Designer paper to the inside fold.
    • Die-cut the greeting circles and adhere together. 
    • Fold the card closed and add the circle to the inside fold 'through' the front window.  Perfect placement!   

    More window cards posted tomorrow and all week long!

  • Create gorgeous backgrounds with just a few common stamping items! Video tutorial!


    On Tuesday's FB live I shared a fun and easy technique for gorgeous backgrounds.  Once you create them you can use them to create stunning, beautiful cards like these:

    This was my first try at this technique this week.  Honestly it's not a new technique at all but I hadn't done it for years! The stamp set is called Soar Confidently (seen here) and I hadn't used it yet.  I think it works wonderfully with a pretty background. 

    I used Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point Stampin' Write markers on an E block and spritzed with plain water.  Then 'stamp' on our Basic White CS and let dry with the block on it (this prevents warping).  Then stamp on it with any black ink.  

    Here are a few more samples I shared: 

    The left card above features the Dragonfly Garden stamp set and the right is the Floating & Fluttering set. 

    See what I mean?  And it's fun too!  Each time you do it they turn out differently so it's kind of addicting!  Watch the video below to see how easy it can be.

  • Gorgeous Butterflies with the Brilliant Wing dies


    I was playing around with these dies and came up with these striking colored butterflies.   

    I used the designer paper as a template to sponge through.  This is what's left after you use the Brilliant Wings dies to cut out the 6 butterflies.  Although in hindsight I should have sponged on the other side so the die fit.  It was upside down on the die; I had to hold it up to the light to get the die placed correctly.  

    I added a piece of White CS behind these butterflies and used the Stitched with Whimsy dies to add that pretty stitched edge.  See those here. 

    Click on the image below to see these items in my store. Remember this designer paper is available through May 3rd or while supplies last.


    The greeting is from the Vine Design stamp set on a 1/2" strip of Poppy Parade card stock.
