Time of Giving for your Holiday projects with video tutorial.

October 18, 2021

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.

Save

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.

Save

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.

Save

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.

Save

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.

Save

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.

Save

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!

Best Dressed FB Live cards

I made these 3 pretty cards during my weekly 'Stamp with Me' Facebook Live last night.

Save

Each Thursday at 8 pm CT we'll finish 3 cards together in about 30 minutes. Prep your pieces ahead of time using the measurements I provide and you'll be surprised how quickly you can make your cards! Join me here:

I used the Best Dressed Designer paper seen here but you can substitute other paper, colors, stamps and punches. The stamped greetings are from the Peaceful Moments set here. I use this stamp set so much; the sentiments are wonderful.

After the video many people share their finished cards. It's so fun to see what products everyone uses and how similar (or not) they are to mine.

Here are the details and close up views of these three cards:

Color Challenge with Seriously the Best with Ornate Frames

April 16, 2020
My Flowerbug's Team had a color challenge this past month – to use Black and White with a 'Pop' of color. Here's the card I made:

Save

This card literally took me 5 minutes to make. Here's the steps:
1. Cut a White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
2. Cut the See a Silhouette DSP to 4" X 5 1/4". Adhere to the card
3. Die-cut two pieces a White 2 1/2" X 4" stitched rectangle and a Black Ornate Frame.
4. Stamp the greeting and leaves in Black Memento ink. Add the flowers in Poppy Parade ink. Adhere to the card.
5. Stamp the 'I miss you a lot' greeting on a scrap of White. Punch out with the Classic Label punch. Add with mini dimensionals.
6. Add a few rhinestones. Done!
You can see the See a Silhouette stamp set here and the Ornate Frames dies here. Remember that if you order any Ornate bundle from me in April you get a free 3 cards pre-cut kit! Details below:
