Earlier this month my Flowerbug's Team held a Fall Sampler swap. We each created one element and made multiples of it for everyone in the swap. These swaps are super fun to make! The only rule we have is that everything is current Stampin' Up! product and the colors coordinate with the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper.
Isn't it amazing!? We had enough people to make two! I'll share the other one tomorrow.
I adhered each piece on a 12" sheet of the In Good Taste designer series paper. This texture style paper is on sale right now in October! But there's just two days left to get it! Go here to order yours.
There are lots to choose from – mostly scrapbooking but many could be used for card making as well. There is lots of card stock, some dies & stamps, plus memory keeping albums and page protectors too.
Below are most of the products available. If you click on one it will take you to the online store.
I stamped the sweet dragonfly repeatedly along the right edge of my White card base. I twisted the image each time and made sure they were touching or very close to each other. After stamping I fussy cut the edge off from the dragonflies. I think it took less than a minute to trim. I think it's well worth the effort!
The Happiest Day stamp set is adorable; I love the whimsical dragonflies and the bold greetings. Having two separate images for the wings means you can change up the colors for 2-toned results. See the set here.
Inks – Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo, Memento Black
Other – Something Fancy dies, Paper Snips, Iridescent striped ribbon, Full of Life DSP
I love the way the colors fade from top to bottom mimicking the Full of Life Designer Series Paper. I achieved this with just 3 colors of ink, but stamping off for a few of them.
Do you ever stamp off to get a lighter hue of ink? Sometimes it's the perfect shade!
Happiest Day card with video tutorial; a simple layout with a gorgeous look
On last week's Live video I chose the Happiest Day stamp set as my featured product. It was discounted during the 3 day stamp sale but you can see it here.Here's one of the cards I made:
I chose to use our 2023-25 In Colors; Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie and Petunia Pop along with Black. We have glimmer paper in these colors too so I added three strips to the card base at a diagonal. See it here. The strips adds a bit of a whimsical look that matches these cute dragonflies.
For the hearts I used that same glimmer paper along with the Humble Home Builder punch (out of stock currently).
The circle die-cut for the greeting is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. These dies are back in stock now! The White rectangle is a die-cut from the Deckled Rectangles seen here.
