Well Dressed; a great manly stamp set!

How are you all doing?  Staying home and safe; if you can?  I know some people have to work and those of us who are not really appreciate you!  I feel for you!  It's a scary world out there right now.  Hopefully a little craft therapy will help you stay in a positive state of mind. It's a unique situation that we've never dealt with before.  We're just not used to being restricted!  

Here's a cute card perfect for the men in our lives.  It's made with the new Well Dressed stamp set seen here in the 2nd release of Sale-a-Bration products. 

Well Dressed SU Save

I believe it's Smoky Slate with Basic Gray and a pop of Crushed Curry and Pool Party.  The images are all stamped on die-cut Stitched Rectangles.  Behind those is a piece of Neutrals designer paper.  I've been featuring this paper the last few days since I know many people haven't noticed it in our annual catalog. We have patterns in every single color we carry in 6 X 6" packs!  

You can see them all here.

  • Simple & fun card sketch with Honeybee Home

    Do you ever use card sketches to get inspired?  I love them!  I find most of them on Pinterest. 

    We use card sketches & color combos on my Flowerbug's Team group for challenges & inspiration.  It's so fun to see the different projects everyone comes up with. This is the sketch we're using now:

    I used it as inspiration to create this card with the Honeybee Home bundle and the Simply Marbelous designer series paper. 

    Honeybee Home sketch Simply Marbelous Save

    It's such an easy sketch to use.  Some are using card stock, others designer paper and one used ribbon!  

    My card is Basic Bray with Bumblebee accents.  Gray & yellow are beautiful together.  In fact one of my bathrooms has these colors! 

    The Simply Marbelous designer paper was my color inspiration.  This 6 X 6" DSP is free with a $50 Stampin' Up! order through the month of February; or while supplies last.  See it here.

    On the video I share my tips on placing these 1/4" strips.  It's a little tricky but entirely doable!

    The greeting and flower die are placed on a circle die-cut from the Beautiful Shapes dies seen here.

  • An easy Whitewashing Technique with our Retiring In Colors

    I had time to play with the Whitewashing technique & our beautiful Calming Camellia stamp set.

    This first card features my top favorite color among the retiring 2020-22 In Colors; Misty Moonlight.  I hope it returns someday! 

    Calming Camelia In Color Save

    I decided to cut the pieces down to fit and layer on one 8 1/2" X 11" piece of Basic White CS. I love saving card stock this way.  

    Calming Camelia In Color Save

    The In Color pieces measure 3 3/8" X 4 1/2" and the layering White is 3 1/2" X 4 5/8".

    How did I do the Whitewashing Technique?  I use our White Craft ink pad and a water painter.  I added a few drops of the White Craft ink refill to the inside of the ink pad and added water from the brush.  Swirl it around a bit and start painting.  You don't need much if you like it soft; I prefer it pretty diluted. 

    You can see a demonstration in this video; it's the second project. 

    Calming Camelia In Color Save

    Heads up!! These 2020-22 In Color will retire at the end of March.  If you have the ink pads, make sure you have the ink refills and grab extra card stock or Designer Paper too!  See all of this color line here. 

    ***Once the retired list comes out these tend to sell out FAST! 

    Here's my other favorite of these In Colors; Just Jade.  I love this pretty, medium toned green.  It fits so beautifully with other colors! 

    Calming Camellia Just Jade Save

    This stamp set is a 'distinktive' set which means it gives multiple hues of color with one inking.  Love these so much! 

    Did you notice that these cards are also monochromatic?  I cannot get enough of a single color with a neutral. This technique truly shows off our gorgeous colors! 

    Calming Camellia Just Jade Save

    The Calming Camellia stamp set is free during Sale-a-Bration with a $300 order.  So if you have a big wishlist you can get this free along with $36 in host rewards AND 6 additional Sale-a-Bration choices too! Click here to see it.

  • Easy but adorable Hello Ladybug Cards Kit to go

    My Flowerbug's and I held a Zoom meeting last week and we all made versions of my Easy 8 Card Wonder.  I chose to use the Hello Ladybug stamp set for mine.

    My colors are Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green, Real Red & Black.  My Easy 8 Card Wonder template takes the guesswork our of creating.  

    Here is how I prepped for the Zoom.  I chose my colors, printed the template on White CS, grabbed my card stock & bags of scraps and stamped a few greeting tags.
