Washi Tape Magic with Extraordinary Flora 🌸

Today’s card features the Extraordinary Flora Bundle, Fabulous Sayings Product of the Month stamp set, Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape, Pretty Peacock ink, Bubble Bath ink, and the new stamp positioning tool from Stampin’ Up!

Card measurements:

• Thick Basic White: 4-1/4" x 11", scored at 5-1/2"

• Pretty Peacock: 4-1/4" x 5-3/8", with the third-largest Spotlight on Nature circle cut from the center

• Irresistible Designs paper: 4" x 5-1/4"

• Basic White: 3-1/4" x 11" for two sections of the washi tape

• Basic White: 2-1/2" x 2-1/2", cut with the fourth-largest Spotlight on Nature die

To create the card:
Adhere two sections of the Extraordinary Flora washi tape onto the 3-1/4" x 11" Basic White cardstock. Then use the coordinating die to cut all of the flowers and leaves at one time.

Next, use a blending brush with Bubble Bath ink to ink blend over the Irresistible Designs paper. Since the paper is already embossed, this gives you a beautiful embossed resist technique. Adhere this layer to the Pretty Peacock layer and then onto the card front.

Attach the Pretty Peacock circle layer to the front of the card. Stamp “hello” onto the smaller white Spotlight on Nature circle using Pretty Peacock ink, then pop it up over the larger circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Now arrange your die-cut flowers and leaves around half of the sentiment circle to create a bouquet effect. Adhere them in place however you like.

For the inside of the card:
Add a couple more of the die-cut flowers for a finishing touch.

For the envelope:
You can either hand-cut a flower from the washi tape and adhere it to the front of the envelope, or use the coordinating stamp with the stamp positioning tool. Ink just one flower image with a bit of Pretty Peacock ink, then position and stamp it exactly where you’d like on the envelope.

Thoughtful Wishes with block stamping

Hello my stamping friends. My share today is a card from last month's card class and we focused on different techniques. In this card we used Stampin' Up!® clear block D to make the background. It's a really easy way to add color to your card. All you do is color the block with Stampin' Write Markers and then mist it with water then use the block as your stamp and press it onto a layer of the card. I used Granny Apple Green, Petunia Pop and Balmy Blue on this card. I have a video below for you as well as my measurements and supplies list.

Measurements: 

Thick Basic White: 4¼ x 11 scored at 5½

Basic Black: 4 x 5¼, 2⅝ x 2⅝

Basic White: 3½ x 4¾, 2½ x 2½

Petunia Pop: 1¾ x 3½

Granny Apple Green: 1¾ x 3½

Shaving Cream Technique with Poised Peony

Hello my stamping friends. Today I have card for you featuring the shaving cream technique. This is a messy technique, but you can make really cool backgrounds with it. I got my shaving cream at the dollar tree so it was really inexpensive 😁. You start out with some shaving cream (enough so that it's bigger than your layer) and add 2-4 colors of reinker. You randomly add a drop all around your layer of shaving cream, alternating the colors. Then you take a knife and swirl the reinkers into the shaving cream creating a marble effect. Lay your cardstock layer on top of the marbled shaving cream and tap it down into the shaving cream. When you pull it off of the shaving cream, you will have excess shaving cream. Take a paper towel and dab it off of the cardstock. You don't want to rub it or else your marbled colors will become one solid color. Once you have the excess shaving cream off, let it dry and then cut it down to 3¾ x 5. Save the scraps for the inside of the card. For these cards I used Blackberry Bliss, Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather reinkers. I show you how I made these cards in the video below.

Measurements:

Highland Heather: 4¼ x 11 scored at 5½

Gorgeous Grape: 4 x 5¼

Basic White: 4 x 5¼ *2

Flowering Zinnias DSP: 1½ x 5

Blackberry Bliss: 2½ x 3¼ cut with the Greetings of the Season dies

Silver & White Sheer Ribbon: about 9"

One Sheet Wonder with the 2024-2026 In Colors

Hello stamping friends. I am back today sharing the cards we made in my May card class. I do an in-person class once a month and they usually make 3 different cards. For May I had a request to do a One Sheet Wonder so I used the 2024-2026 In Color designer paper and had them request a color with their RSVP. I did the die cutting for them to save on time and I show you in the video how I packaged them up. I also had two samples made up so that each table had a set of 4 to work off of. It ran really smooth and they were done with their cards in about 2 hours. I made a template for each stamper and asked them to bring their paper trimmers as they cut their own designer paper. I have that template for you as well.

I have the measurements for each card below along with a picture of four of the colors. I used Shy Shamrock, Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink and Petunia Pop. (sorry Summer Splash, I didn't have an extra kit for this color).

I also have a link for all of the supplies below and a video to show you how I put the cards together.
