Translucent Florals card made with colored vellum


I created this pretty card with the Translucent Florals bundle.  I used our vellum card stock and changed it from opaque to Fresh Freesia. 

It's really easy to do.  Here's how:

  1. I cut a good size piece of vellum from the main sheet and laid it onto my grid paper.
  2. Then I pressed my open ink pad onto the card stock until it was covered.
  3. To smooth the ink out use sponges or a blending brush. Let dry or heat set before die-cutting. 
  4. Die-cut the flowers, leaves and white centers

Products & measurements:

  • Translucent Floral bundle
  • White card stock – card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score & fold at 4 1/4"
  • Painted Texture embossing folder – white is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
  • Fresh Freesia card stock 3 7/8" X 4 7/8"
  • Granny Apple Green 4 1/4" X 1" strip 
  • Vellum card stock – a large piece colored with Fresh Freesia ink and a small piece with Granny Apple Green ink

Here's a photo of this pretty bundle. See it here.

  • Cool technique for a background made with our new shimmer brushes


    Take your new Shimmer Brushes for a test drive with this darling DIY background idea. Stampin’ Up! posted this card idea; what a super neat plaid background!

    Here’s how you do it:

    Step 1: Draw diagonal lines on Basic White Cardstock using the Barely Blush Shimmer Brush. (Use the Clear Block F as a guide.) Apply light pressure to create fine lines; increase pressure for thicker lines.

     Step 2: Rotate your cardstock and (using the Clear Block F) draw additional lines to create a plaid pattern.

     Step 3: Decorate your sparkling background with images, sentiments, and embellishments, then adhere the finished piece to the card base.

    We now have 5 colors of these Shimmer Brushes in each of our new In Colors. See them all here.

    I hope this technique inspires you to try it. I think you could also do it with our Wink of Stella on any color CS.

    I have one Mystery Box left!

  • More Team swaps!


    Here are a few more of the Team swaps featuring brand new catalog products.

    Jacki created this striking card with the Scalloped Blooms bundle seen here.

    Her colors include Melon Mambo, Black & White. Those scalloped circle dies are so fun aren’t they? The leaf die-cuts are from the Delicate Whispers dies seen here.

    Next is a striking card made by Joan: She chose to highlight the Scenic Coast DSP.

    She also used the Relaxing Waterside bundle seen here. Love that chair! As you might guess, it’s a fun fold ‘bridge card’.

    Super cool! To make this card you’ll start with a 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ card base, scored at 4 1/4″. Now use the paper trimmer to cut up to the score line on each side at 1 1/4″.
    The DSP is 2 3/4″ X 4″ and on the sides it’s 1″ X 4″. There’s also a lower and an upper strip that is 5 1/4″ X 1″.

    Great cards ladies! I’ll share more later this week.
