It’s Friday! I hope you have plans for the weekend that involve play and/or relaxation!
Today’s card uses two designs from the Floral Romance Designer Series Paper and an embossed piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock. I have to admit that combining two different pieces of Designer Series Paper is out of my comfort zone but I’m pretty happy with how these two printed designs look together. (more…)
Today is a two card day! This week I’ve been showcasing Stampin’ Up! Floral Romance Designer Series Paper. When I created both of today’s cards last weekend, I had no idea that the Wonderful Floral Framelits Dies, used to create the leaves, would be sold out before I could share them. If you were unable to purchase the dies, another option for creating leaves is our Sprig Punch or the Frosted Bouquet Framelits Dies. (more…)
Before sharing my card, I want to let you know that the Call Me Cupcake Thinlits have sold out! As previously announced, the So Hoppy Framelits are also no longer available. The good news is that both stamp sets ARE still available as a Sale-a-Bration FREE gift. (more…)
Happy Tuesday!
I mentioned yesterday that once I start making Dahlia Fold cards, I can’t stop so I have one more to share with you. Today’s card is actually the same paper I used yesterday but I folded it the opposite way for a completely different look (you can see yesterday’s card here). (more…)
Once I start making Dahlia Fold flowers, I can’t stop! This one was created using Happiness Bloom Designer Series Paper. When choosing a paper to use, I look for two compatible designs because you’ll see both sides of the paper.
I used a 1-3/4″ Circle Punch to punch out 8 circles. You can watch my video here (it’s also at the end of this post) to see how to fold each circle. I use retired paper in the video but you’ll see that it’s pretty easy to fold the paper and create one gorgeous flower! After folding each piece, I glued them to a 2″ circle (I used a 2″ Circle Punch). (more…)
It’s the first of the month so that means it’s time for the Glitter Queens Blog Hop! This month our theme is March Into Spring!
When I think of spring, I immediately think of flowers (I also think about allergies, but we’ll focus on cardmaking) so I wanted to create a card for the hop this month that centered around a flower. I love creating flowers using the Dahlia Fold Technique. When Stampin’ Up! releases new paper, I always check to see which ones will work well with this technique. (more…)
