What to do when you fall in love with a beautiful new bundle

Have you ever had this moment too? You open up a new Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog and start leafing through page by page. And suddenly  you spot a bundle that takes your breath away for a quick second. 

That's the feeling I got when I first spotted the Dainty Delight bundle! 

Although I don't have much time for creating cards that require a lot of coloring, I knew that I would want to make time for the images in this set. 

So, what do you do when you fall in love with a beautiful bundle? You buy it and craft your heart out! Which is what I have been doing - here on my blog and on my YouTube channel. 

Today's card offers a fun way to create your own background so that you don't have to use an entire sheet of designer series paper. This layout is perfect for using up scraps and it also shows that you can make a beautiful card using only one color of ink.

Here's one idea for the inside of this playful card:

Have you discovered all the things you can do with this amazing die?

Have you discovered the Dots & Spots die from Stampin’ Up’s! Annual Catalog. It is a hidden gem.

 

This stand-alone die can be run through your Stampin’ Up! Cut & Emboss machine to create an all-over pattern of small holes. Today, I am sharing some ideas for simple projects to create using the die.

 

A Textured Strip

On this card, a narrow strip of dotty card has been layered on top of some Designer Series paper and beneath the sentiment strip. This adds a different texture to the card and draws the eye to the sentiment and the die cut flower from the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper.

 

Just In The Background

In this sample, the dots are in Basic White and sitting on a Basic White card base. This creates a great textured background for this stamped and die cut flower and sentiment from the Sending Smiles Bundle.

 

Spots & Stripes

A great idea for using up odd bits of cardstock. Strips of card measuring ½” (1.5cm) wide have been adhered across a 5” x 3 ¾” (13.9cm x 9.5cm) piece of copy paper. The colours used here were Tahitian Tide, Parakeet Party, Sweet Sorbet and Daffodil Delight. This has then been die cut with the Dots & Spots die. The dotty piece was then layered over a 4” x 5 ¼” (14.4cm x 10cm) piece of Basic Black card before being stuck to a Daffodil Delight card base. The black card shows through the holes giving a bold effect.

The sentiments came from the Sending Smiles bundle.

 

A Touch of Metallics

This final card features a mat of dotty Basic Black card layered over some Brushed Metallic Gold card. The “sending” sentiment was also die cut in black and gold, whilst the “all good luck your way” was heat embossed. This gives an elegant look to the card. Of course, you can play around with any colours of metallics and card stock to give different looks.

This is such a fun die and a great addition to your crafty stash.

What products would you use to create a beautiful forest fantasy?

Oohhhh, today's card map challenge is full of possibilities!

I feel I kind of went for the obvious on my card but I LOVE how it turned out. I have a new pack of paper from the July - December mini catalog, called Boughs of Holly and one of the patterns is filled with trees - can you spot it below:

These beautiful papers embrace the classic emerald green and rich reds we love to see at Christmastime with poinsettia, holly, and evergreen motifs. It also includes a more neutral birch tree bark pattern, soft polka dots, and abstract swatches of classic seasonal colors. You can also cut out images for quick textured and detailed layering pieces. Create card fronts, gift tags, scrapbook pages, and more!

But: this paper goes beyond Christmas as you will see below. I think the pattern I chose pairs beautifully with the Majestic Mountain dies!

And here's my challenge card:

And, yes, it is your turn now! Try this week's card map challenge and see what kind of forest fantasy you can create. 

If you want to order these products, click on one of the images above to link over to my online store. If you want to see what the other design crew members created for this week's challenge, click here. 

this is the EASIEST way to make beautiful cards (no complicated tools required)!

Do you find yourself wanting to make a beautiful card but you just don't have a lot of time to make it? Do you believe that cannot make beautiful cards because you don't have fancy tools and a pile of products? Today I am going to show you how to create a beautiful 'clean and simple' Color & Contour card idea, one that is stunning. You ready to learn how?

 

'Clean & Simple' is a technique that I don't use that often and I don't know why. All you need is a stamp set, ink and cardstock. If you love what you make the first time, you can easily make lots more and in a short period of time. 

I recommend the Color & Contour stamp set for getting creatively colorful. The open-line floral art and abstract filler stamps allows for a range of coloring techniques. Try freehand watercoloring for a modern look, or use ink and sponge daubers on the filler stamps to create an ombre floral effect! This set is also available in French.

Tip: click on the link below to order the stamp set at my online store! 

 

When the Color & Contour set was first introduced it was bundled with these FAB dies. Each are still available to order but now are sold separately. So if you don't yet have the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and dies, no worries. You can still make today's card. 

Here's how to make this beautiful card at home. For step-by-step instructions, check out my video below. 

Supplies
Stamp set: Colour & Contour (154994)

Ink: Polished Pink; Fresh Freesia; Parakeet Party; Tahitian Tide; Starry Sky

Paper and dutting dimensions:
    Basic White: 8 1/2" x 4 1/4"; 2 1/8" x 1 1/4"

Make your own singing songbird ensemble with the Sweet Songbirds bundle

Remember the struggle I had with last week's card map? Well, this week went so much better!

Everything fell into place so sweetly (pun intended). I started with a piece of the In Color designer series paper:

From there I had a look through my stamp sets and spotted Sweet Songbirds, which I haven't used in a while: 

You can make your own singing songbird ensemble with the Sweet Songbirds Stamp Set! Stamp the images in different colors for a custom look—a light pink body, a darker pink wing, and yellow feet. Nestle your birds into the nest image or perch them on top of the branch. With multiple everyday sentiments, you're sure to use this cute stamp set all year long!

Or you can keep it super simple too, by stamping directly onto your card stock. To add a little pizzazz to my card I stamped the leaves twice, cut out one set and used Mini Stampin' Dimensionals for visual interest. 

Here's my card:

Now it's your turn: try this week's card map challenge and see what you can create. If you want to see what the other Paper Craft Crew members created this week, click here. 

How can a simple card map challenge stump me so badly?

Maybe it's the heat. Maybe it's the 30 hour training I just finished. Maybe...it's too simple? 

 

Who knows. But this map sat there looking at me for hours. Waiting for inspiration to hit me. Which it finally did but only after I rooted around in my stamping supplies for a very long time.

And then I saw my Hues of Happiness product suite - well, bits and pieces of what was left. 

So I decided to go with that, especially since I love that funky die in the Blossoming Happiness dies and wanted to try it on a layer. 

Here's my card.

If you want to see where I got my inspiration from, open the front cover of the Annual Catalog - do you see where my idea came from?

If you love learning new techniques then this is the project for you

If you love learning new techniques then this is the video for you. I am going to show you how to combine two techniques to create a colorful and eye-catching card. I will be using my Floral Gallery dies for one of the techniques - you can use any word dies you that have on hand. The second technique is a fun and easy way to add color to the card background.

These dies offer open dies for artistic floral accents as well as label shapes that are designed especially for sentiments. Floral Gallery Dies are perfect for what your heart wants to say to your friends and loved ones.

To create my card background, I am going to show you an easy watercolor technique, using our Stampin' Spritizers (2 to a pack). 

This is such a fun tool: you fill an empty spritzer with water or rubbing alcohol and any color of Classic Stampin’ Ink Refill. Mix and spritz. I chose Highland Heather for my ink color - you can choose your favorite color for this project. 

Here's what I am going to show you how to create - watch my video below for all the steps and bonus tips and design ideas.

Try this fun and easy corner tuck technique to create a beautiful card

Hello fellow crafters! Today I have another beautiful scenic card to demonstrate, one that has a corner tuck technique! I will be using my Tulip Fields Bundle and Flowering Fields designer series paper. I can't wait to show you this easy card idea!

The Tulip Fields stamp set includes flower field section stamps that, when placed side-by-side, can create colorful tulip fields from a tapering perspective. Pair these tulip fields with the windmill, clouds, or tree stamps found in this set to make a really fun field of tulips scene.

 

With the Windmill Fields Dies, you'll get everything you need to build a picturesque windmill scene, including a row of tulips, fences, a bicycle, pieces to create a layered windmill. And that's exactly what I am going to do on my corner tuck card.

 

And what more can I say about this paper, except that it will be retiring soon (sob). 

 

 

In my video below, I demonstrate step-by-step how to make the layers for my card and how to create the cool corner tuck.

See how to feature beautiful designer paper on this fun fold card

Hello fellow crafters! I have a beautiful scenic cards to demonstrate today, one that has a fun fold! I will be using my Tulip Fields bundle and Flowering Fields designer series paper. I can't wait to show you this easy card idea!

 

The Tulip Fields bundle includes the Tulip Fields Stamp Set and the Windmill Fields Dies. Create scenic cards with endless tulip fields and traditional windmills with this cute bundle. Die cut stamped images directly, or layer your die-cut pieces on top of stamped tulip fields for a dimensional look.

 

The stamp set includes flower field section stamps that, when placed side-by-side, can create colorful tulip fields from a tapering perspective. Pair these tulip fields with the windmill, clouds, or tree stamps found in this set to make this scene come to life!

Bonus tip: To make the floral field look as realistic as possible, make sure the tip of the triangles are stamped next to each other, making a fan-like shape. Stamp the horizon line (stamp) first across your card, then stamp the larger triangle with the tip in the center of the horizon line. Then, stamp the larger triangle two more times on either side of the center one with a small gap in between each stamp. And there you have an endless field of flowers!

With the Windmill Fields Dies, you'll get everything you need to build a picturesque windmill scene, including a row of tulips, fences, a bicycle, pieces to create a layered windmill, and more! These dies will work perfectly for a card front so you can send a little dreamy escape to all your friends.

Want to learn how to create a wow factor on your cards?

Today I am going to show you how to use two simple products to create a wow factor on all your cards. I will be using the Amazing Silhouettes bundle and Symbols of Fortune designer series paper to create my wow.

 

I love the nature inspired images in the Amazing Silhouettes stamp set.

 

 

You can create beautiful silhouettes in one simple step using one color to make a bold impression, which is what I am going to do today, OR you can use multiple colors for an ombre look. The Amazing Thanks simple words can be added to any image to create beautiful thank-you cards and other projects. I am going to use the 'Amazing' and 'You' dies for my card.

 

 

If you love the Symbols of Fortune paper as much as I do, check out this video where I show you how to create 3 different cards using a 1/2 sheet  of one of these beautiful designs.

 

Now for the two products that will help you create a wow factor:

 

1. Foam Adhesive Sheets

These double-sided adhesive foam sheets can be cut with Paper Snips or open dies to fit any project. You get 6 sheets in a pack, each measures 4-1/2" x 4-5/16" (11 x 11.4 cm).

2. Blending Brushes

 

This is my favorite coloring tool! You can add ink as light or as dark as you want and even try layering colors to make an ombre effect (like in the photo). You get three blending brushes in a single pack, which makes it easy for using different colors of ink on your projects.
