Slimline Saturday with Frosted Forest Bundle for All Seasons

 

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for stopping in. I'm having so much fun with the monthly Slimline Sheetload of Cards templates from Call me Crafty Al. I follow her on YouTube and look forward for all the Sheetload of Cards each month. 

I am so glad I purchased the Frosted Forest Bundle from the Stampin' Up! Online Exclusives. This is such a versatile bundle with the coordinating Decorative Masks. I paired this with the stunning Thoughtful Journey 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (DSP). 

There are so many stunning designs in the Thoughtful Journey DSP. It was designed for the seasons, so you can create beautiful projects for all seasons. The decorative masks add so much depth to the stamp images. I love being able to use the blending brushes to add the color and details. It's so easy!

This card feels like it's a cool, dusk time of day. I used Calypso Coral for the tree color. This is one of the coordinating colors in the DSP. There are three masks for the tree. The trunk, base color of the tree, and added details. I simply used Calyso Coral for two of the masks.

Misty Moonlight and Mossy Meadow are also coordinating colors in the DSP. It is so easy to create using the colors in the DSP. I often decide on my base colors off of the DSP colors. Eveything coodinates so well this way. 

I love how rich looking this version of the slimline card is. The tree was done with old olive which isn't one of the colors in the DSP, but it works so well. Mossy Meadow would have been too dark I think. 

The Thoughtful Journey 6" x 6" DSP is part of the Annual Catalog Designer Series Paper Sale. There are so many beautiful papers to choose from. I would suggest the Thoughtful Journey DSP and the Frosted Meadow 12" x 12" DSP. These would coodinate so well with the Frosted Forest Bundle.

Thanks again for stopping in. Be sure to redeem any Bonus Coupons you earned last month and get some more savings with the Designer Series Paper Sale too. All the products I used are listed below. Which version of the card did you like best? Be sure to comment and share my blog. I appreciate you.

Until Next Time...

Create Beautiful Card with the Darling Details Bundle

 

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for stopping in. I'm so excited about my blog today since I finally got the dies that go with the Darling Details Stamp set. For some reason when I orderd, I missed putting the bundle # in. I missed out of a 10% discount because when you purchase a bundle with Stampin' Up!, there is a 10% discount. 

The Darling Detail Bundle is found on page 68 in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. Thes fun flowers and versitile dies will have you stamp the night away. The cards I created during my Facebook Live all feature the fabulous dies. I hope you enjoy my cards. I'd love to know which is your favorite.

My first card shows off the super cute 2-step stamping flowers. I just love the types of flowers that are flirty and fun. The Darling Details Border die is so cool! You can weave ribbon through it for a Wow look. The DSP is from the Earthen Elegance 12" x 12" DSP. I also used the Moody Mauve Textured Ribbon. 

I just can't get enough of the Cheerful Daisies Suite of products. The Darling Details frame is so perfect for this card. I just love the bright and happy colors.

My last card is just about my favorite. I created this using some scraps of DSP that needed a use. Notecards & Envelopes are the perfect size when using up your scraps. For the interesting outer scallop of the frame for this card was created by putting both frame dies through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine at the same time. The center flowers are two of the flower dies stacked on each other. 

Thanks again for stopping in today. Okay, have you decided on your favorite card from today? Leave a comment and let me know. You may also be interested in a couple of promotions that are ending very soon.

Be sure to check out details on my Cheerful Daisies Specialty Class. It is happening at the end of July, but kits will be selling out fast! Check out my blog post for this class for details on how to register for the In Person or To Go options.

Create a Beautiful Easel Card with Horse & Sleigh Suite and Onlne Exclusive Products

 Hi Everyone,

Thanks for stopping in today for my blog. Today I'm sharing a couple of cards my Stampin' Café Team got to create when we had a team gathering. I shared a couple of new and upcoming Online Exclusive products with them. These included the Timeless Charms Bundle and the Horse & Sleigh Suite. 

The Horse & Sleigh Suite of products and just so wonderful! What I really like is the One Horse Open Sleigh 6"x6" Desinger series paper. The snow scenes are beautiful and can be the main focal point of your holiday cards easily. 

This notecard is super cute with the polka dot DSP and the Radiating Stitched rectange. For this card, I used the Timeless Charm dies for the beautifully detailed flower die. There are many dies you can add your own creativity with with cardstock or DSP. Timeless Charm is a bundle with a stamp set and coordinating dies.

This card is special. it is an Easel Card. This will stand up to be on display on someone's special desk or table. I used all of the products in the suite. I stamped onto the beautiful pices of DSP and used the snow dies and the tree die. 

It's easy to create an easel card. For this card I cut a piece of Misty Moonlight at 4 1/4" x 11" and scored at 5 1/2" like a standard A2 sized card. Then I scored at 2 3/4 for the "flap" or front of card that the front panels will be secured to. For an easel card, you will want something that will stop the card from simply folding down. I used a 1" x 3 3/4" strip of Pecan Pie and and layer of DSP. I glued that to the bottom of the inside of the card. This acts as a "stopper". If you want the Easel card to stand up taller, simply make the inside "stopper" wider.

The colors in the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP include such rich and beautiful colors like Boho Blue, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow, Pecan Pie, and many more. I used the Misty Moonlight and Pecan Pie as a pairing. They go so well together. You can watch my video on how I created this Easel Card and the techniques I used. You will also be able to see how to find the Online Exclusive products on Stampin' Up!. 

These new Online Exclusive products will be available to customers on July 6th. If you want them now, you can add them to a Starter Kit by joining my team with Stampin' Up! and get more products in your kit this month only. Remember that there is a 15% off sale on Designer Series Paper too, so you can get even more products for the joining special.
