  • Artist of the Month Sending Smiles cards!

    Each month my Flowerbug's Team has a featured 'Artist of the Month'.  For June, Marilyn chose to use the Sending Smiles bundle seen here.  

    She made 5 projects and I'm showing the first three here: 

    June Sending Smiles Marilyn Save

    Her card base is Orchid Oasis and the flowers are stamped in Orchid, Polished Pink, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive.  The flower centers and leaves are separate images so it's easy to have multiple colors on your flowers.  

    She layered the two 'Sending' dies using our awesome Adhesive Sheets; no glue mess!  The Birthday Wishes greeting is heat embossed and die-cut with one of the long dies in the bundle.  The background texture is the Quatrefoil embossing folder seen here.  

    ~~~

    Next is a simple card with just a few layers using Fresh Freesia and Parakeet Party.  

    June Sending Smiles Fresh Freesia Save

    I love the stamped background she did using Versamark.  The White layer is textured with the Painted Texture folder.  The Brass Butterflies are the perfect finishing touch!  

    Her measurements are 2 7/8" X 3 7/8" for the White and 3" X 4" for the Parakeet Party. 

    ~~~

    Next is a fun fold card featuring the new hostess paper pack called Design a Daydream.  Anyone can get this with hostess benefits if the order is over $150. 

    June Sending Smiles Marilyn Save

    Here's a tip on making this diagonal fun fold card.  Cut your card base at 4 1/4" X 11" and score it at 5 1/2".  Now with your card base laying flat and horizontally, cut off the upper left half of this card base on a diagonal.  You'll add the layers of card stock and DSP to that but flip it before adhering it to the main card.  

    She used the Layering Circles dies for her greeting.  I love that you can personalize your greetings with so many options.  This was one of my top 3 sets in the new Annual Catalog.  In fact it was one of the ideas I shared with Stampin' Up! for my Million Dollar stamp set!

    There are 22 stamps in the set and 14 dies!

  • How to make a forest of trees from the Wisteria Wishes stamp set!

    I thought the flower image in the Wisteria Wishes stamp set would make wonderful trees. So I played around and here's the finished card: 

    Wisteria Wishes trees Save

    I chose to use just one ink color of Evening Evergreen. I made this card in the video below; or click here to see it. 

    Tips on creating the trees:

    • Starting at the bottom with the 3 flower image (turned point side up) stamp in full strength Evening Evergreen ink making sure you stamp some images higher and some lower.  Ink every time filling in the very bottom fully.
    • Now ink the same image and stamp off once before stamping slightly higher than the first 'trees'.  
    • Now ink the image again and stamp off twice before stamping even higher making sure you alter the height now & then.  
    • Wallah; you've created a forest of trees!  

    Did you know that Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent are a perfect color combination?  Stamping off once or twice can give you almost an exact Soft Succulent color tone.

    You could make a bunch of these cards quickly and they're perfect for any occasion but to me they'd be great sympathy or men's cards. 

    Here are the other two cards I made with this bundle.  It was super fun to play with!
