Showcasing the NEW In-Colors with a Simple Layout

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, Tutorials, VIDEO by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I am thrilled to share the fabulous NEW In-Colors with you today. The new 2022-2024 In-Colors are fun and will coordinate not only with each other but will coordinate beautifully with our core colors as well. I demonstrated a simple layouts in my video (a replay of last nights Facebook LIVE) that is perfect for those of you who make multiple cards at a time … very quick & easy.

Let’s take a look at the video now …

Here is the card that I demonstrated in the video … I believe this is my very favorite but the others are pretty awesome! I’m having a hard time picking a favorite in this group.

Let me introduce you to Starry Sky ….

How It’s Made  

  • Cut a 4-1/4 x 8-1/2″ piece of Basic White cardstock for the card base. Score at 4-1/4.  Crease fold and set aside for assembly.
  • Cut a 2 x 2-1/2″ piece of Basic White to stamp image onto and a 2-1/4″ x 2-3/4″ for a double mat. 
  • Cut a 2-1/8″ x 2-5/8″ piece of the In-Color as the mat behind the stamped image, and a 4″ x 5-1/4″ to be stamped and layered onto the card base.
  • The stamped image will be layered and popped up onto your card front.

The next card is the beautiful Orchid Oasis …

Here is the bright and bold Parakeet Party … this color is anything but shy!

If you have a taste for the shades of red you will fall in love with Sweet Sorbet. The color reminds me of watermelon but it sure is a tasty shade of fun.

The last of this years In-Colors but most definitely not the least is the beautiful Tahitian Tide just waiting to take you someplace warm and sunny. The color reminds me of our old Tempting Turquoise which we loved and missed … this will easily fit the bill.

I hope you enjoyed my showcase into the fun and playful new In-Colors … can’t wait to share even more with you!

Easter Cards: Floating Elements Techniques

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, VIDEO by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I’d like to share my technique video and three (3) cute cards with you today and the dimensions for cutting your cardstock!! This is a re-post but wanted to share it again as a reminder, and for my new subscribers … It’s soooooo cool!

I’m excited to share today’s cards and video with you … the FLOATING ELEMENTS Technique is really easy to create. With the help of an open die; like the oval … we created Easter Eggs!! Sit back, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the video ~

So simple to create and aren’t they just the cutest!? With just one sheet of cardstock, some designer paper, your adhesive sheets and an “open” OVAL die you can create these cute Easter Egg cards. I’ll start with the one I made in the video …

In the video, I talked about the alignment of the pinks and how they draw your eye around the card, so I decided I was going to align my embellishments in the same way … that little bit adds so much texture to our card (even though the floating elements add texture as well). I also added a little bow to my butterfly which ties in the white and pink beautifully.

White Cardbase: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ Layers: 5-1/4″ x 4″ and 5″ x 3-3/4″
Oval Dies and Foam Adhesive Sheet: Cut to 3″
Designer Paper strips: 3″ x 3/4″

The next card was our surprise card … this little beauty would be cute as a gift tag! I used the “subtles” designer paper on this one ~

I am going to be totally honest with you … I think the “Floating Element” looks better when we used the slightly smaller strips of the adhesive sheet; this way you cannot see the foam at all so it really appears to be “floating”.

I stamped my greeting directly onto the designer paper and accented it with another butterfly. This butterfly has a little “bling-bling” with the help of our Rhinestones.

During the video I talked about using the Adhesive Sheets with word dies, today I’m using the alphabet dies with the adhesive sheets and designer paper …

Just place your designer paper strips onto the adhesive sheets and align your alphabet dies onto it … I used a little scotch tape to hold down my letters, washi tape works nice too.

Once everything was secure, I ran it through my Die Cut & Emboss machine and created the card …

I added a little “HAPPY” to my Easter Card and another little butterfly to balance out the card and to finish it off nicely.

The Adhesive Sheets are a wonder … I love them, and now you know you can use them for much more than “popping” something up, you can create an entire technique around them … the Floating Elements Technique!

Thank you so much for hangin’ out with me today!

I hope your day is a good one ~

Book Binder Fun Fold: Two Layouts

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, Tutorials, VIDEO by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I am thrilled to share this Quick & Easy Fun Fold with you today. Super simple to make yet it adds a fun twist to your cards. I demonstrated two different layouts in my video (a replay of last nights Facebook LIVE) and then I’ll have another layout that you can create as well.

Let’s take a look at the video now …

Book Binder Fun Fold … Super Simple!

HORIZONTAL PROFILE (Above) How It’s Made  

  • Cut a 4-1/4 x 11″ piece of Soft Succulent cardstock for the card base. Score at 5-1/2 and 4-1/4.  Crease folds and add adhesive to the inside of the two scored lines.  The 4-1/4″ score line should be facing out on the front of the card. 
  • Cut a 4 x 4″ piece of Designer Paper (or cardstock) and adhere to card front. 
  • Cut a 1″ x 4″ strip from the tulip design designer series paper and adhere to the left side margin on the card front.

PORTRAIT PROFILE (Above) How It’s Made  

  • Cut a 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock for the card base. Score at 4-1/4” and 5-1/4”.  Crease folds and add adhesive to the inside of the two scored lines… You can add your ribbon at this time.
  • To layer card front; cut Basic White 5-1/4” x 3” (Cut 2: one for inside and one for mat on front)  Cut Designer paper to 5” x 2-3/4” to layer on top of white.
  • Binder area is cut in Basic White at 5-1/4” x 3/4” and I embossed with “Brick” embossing folder for some texture.

Cool … right! Now, let me share another layout you can use when creating the Book Binder Fun Fold. It’s another portrait however the card stock is cut at the usual 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ and it is scored at the 4-1/4″ and 5-1/4″ … now you will just position your “binder” to the “TOP” of your card.

The designer paper is cut at the same dimensions as well … however, you need to make sure you are “cutting” to the designer of the paper. On this card, my “binder” actually has the same designer paper, I just flipped it over. The greeting also comes from the Flowing Flowers stamp set, same as we used on our first card.

Enjoy making this fun fold … it’s really easy, and you’re going to have a blast creating with all your beautiful designer papers. Don’t forget, you can add in your embossing folders, die cuts or hand stamped items!

Sweet Strawberry: Just For You

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I have another cute card from Stampin’ Up! using the Sweet Strawberry Bundle …. It’s finally starting to feel like spring and I remember my grandma always planting her Strawberries so we would have those sweet berries by the time we came for a visit.

You will notice that we are using the “same” supplies as we did yesterday so you can create different looks with your same investment!

Here are the step by step instructions for the card …

1. Create tone on tone background on Poppy Parade card base (8-1/2” x 5-1/2”; 21 x 14.9 cm) by stamping the strawberry outline image in Poppy Parade ink. Randomly fill in some of the strawberries using the two-step stamp image.

2. On the 2″ x 6″ (5.1 x 15.2 cm) Basic White Cardstock, two-step stamp one strawberry in Crumb Cake ink and two strawberries in Poppy Parade ink. Stamp the outline in full saturation of ink and stamp off the filler image to create shading.

3. Stamp the stem images in Mint Macaron ink on the 2-3/4″ x 2″ (7 x 5.1 cm) Basic White Cardstock. Stamp three stems.

4. Punch out the berry and stem images using the Strawberry Builder Punch.

5. Stamp the greeting in Crumb Cake ink on the 2-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ (5.7 x 8.9 cm) Basic White Cardstock. Adhere to your card base.

6. Adhere the strawberries to the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals, arranging them to overlap slightly. Adhere the stems to the strawberries.

7. Add Gilded Gems

How cute and simple is this card. So easy to recreate and you are using the same supplies as you did on the card showcased yesterday. Both cards are great to send to your friends.

Thank you for joining me on this Sunday.
