Buffy’s Color Challenge

Buffy has a group of demonstrators that meet once a month to do projects.  She was so kind to invite me to the online portion of her group because I don’t really have an active Upline.  She gave this group of ladies a color challenge  to do.  It was to use Watermelon Wonder, Cucumber Crush and Dapper Denim.  Here is the card I made using these colors.

Mixed Borders, Swirly Scribbles

I used a new set from the 2016/2017 called Mixed Borders.  It is such a fun stamp set because it has a few border stamp sets that have a space in-between them where you can fit a sentiment.  To make the border above I stamped two of them.  One is a flower border and the other one is a leaf border.  Under the sentiment is a blank spot where I could have stamped “I hope your birthday is amazing” but I chose to put it on a tag.  By the way, the tag is from the stamp set called Rose Wonder that has a matching set of Framelits called Rose Garden Thinlits.  Then I added the swirl from Swirly Scribbles.

Rose Garden Sympathy Card

Rose Garden, Rose Wonder

No one likes to make sympathy cards but, unfortunately it is a necessary part of life.  I made this card to keep on hand but found out today that I will be sending it out.  It uses the set of Thinlits called Rose Garden and is in the 2016 Occasions Catalog.  Thankfully, it will also be in the new Annual Catalog that comes out in June.  This set of Thinlits has a matching set of stamps called Rose Garden, which will also be carried over.  If you like both of them you can save 15% by buying the Bundle.  This Bundle will no longer be available in the new catalog.

The only thing that is going to retire on this card is the Calypso Coral Seam Binding Ribbon.  All the Seam Binding ribbons are retiring so if you like them, you need to order them before they are gone for good.

Rose Garden Fancy Fold

Rose Wonder, Drapery Fold

This is one of the cards we made at our monthly Club Meeting.  It uses a new set of Thinlits Dies called Rose Garden.  These dies are just beautiful.  They have a matching set of stamps called Rose Wonder.  If you buy them both in a bundle you can save 15%.

This card also uses a fun fold called the Drapery Fold.  I got this idea from Lyssa Zwolanek.  She is another Stampin’ Up! demonstrator.  Honestly, I am not sure if she made it up or if she got the idea from someone else because I did see some other cards using this technique.  That is how it goes with card making.  It is called CASEing which means Create and Share Everything.  To make the background, you take a 4″ by 11.5″ piece of Designer Series Paper and score it at 3″, 4″, 6″, 7″, 9″, and 10″.  Then cut a diagonal line starting at the 3″ score line up to about 1″ from the top.

Here is a picture of what your Designer Series Paper should look like after you score and cut it.

Then you fold at the score alternating mountain and valley fold like this:

Then I used snail to tack it down.  It is very easy to do!

Rose Wonder

Rose Wonder, Rose Garden Thinlits

The 2016 Occasions Catalog has so many awesome products in it that are new and fun.  One of the stamp sets that I really like is called Rose Wonder.  It is a Photopolymer stamp set that has 14 images and sentiments with it.  It also has a matching set of Thinlits called Rose Garden.  You can save 15% by buying them both in a bundle.

For this card, I cut out one of the Thinlits with Blackberrry Bliss cardstock and again, with Bushing Bride cardstock.  Then I pretended it was a jigsaw puzzle and put the pieces of the Blushing Bridge cardstock into the Blackberry Bliss.  The Rose Garden Thinlits also include the shape you see around the sentiment.
