Wild & Sweet - something old with something new!!

 Today's video shows using something old - In the Wild DSP (retiring in 4 days!) - along with something  new - the Koala Bear from Wild & Sweet stamp set (in new catalog) - to create a really sweet card! I've also used several products that will be returning in the new Annual Catalog going live in 5 days! So here's the card...

The card base is Soft Succulent cardstock, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4". The DSP, 5 1/4" x 4",  is from In The Wild which is retiring in just 4 days! You will also need a piece of Sahara Sand cardstock for the border around the image and the sentiment. 

Using the larger round die with the distsinctive border from the Painted Labels dies (returning in the new catalog) cut from the center of the DSP. Carefully release the paper from the die. Also cut the large leaf image from Forever Flourishing dies out of Evening Evergreen. 

Stamp the Koala image onto Basic White cardstock and cut with the 4th largest Layering Circles Framelits. Use the next largest circle die to cut from Sahara Sand cardstock. Adhere the image to the Sahara Sand mat.

Stamp the sentiment Hello There from Eden's Garden onto Basic White cardstock and trim. Banner the left end of the sentiment. Adhere to a piece of Sahara Sand cardstock and trim to leave a small edge around the sentiment. Banner the Sahara Sand to match the Basic White. 

Adhere the DSP to the cardbase with dimensionals. Attach the Painted Labels circle to the cardfront inside the circle in the DSP with adhesive. Then add the Koala piece to the center of this with dimensionals. 

Trim the bottom layer of leaves from the greenery and adhere to the cardfront with liquid glue.. Overlap the image just a little.

Add the sentiment to the top edge. Finish this off with an Irridescent Rhinestone.

Mystery Stamping 4.21.22...landscape or portrait??

 Good Morning! Summer is getting here too quickly. Where is Spring?

Well, one thing you can count on is Stamping' Thursday Mystery Card every 3rd Thursday of the month. And today is no exception! 

Here is Clue 1 that tells you what supplies you need to create our Mystery Card. I hope that you will play along without a sneak peek at the end result...but if not, that's okay too!

Once you've gathered your supplies together, then go to YouTube and watch the video as you assemble your card!

Don't scroll down unless you want to peek ahead of time!!!

Here are the Mystery Card samples that I made, following the clues. The first card is done as a portrait card. 

I used Highland Heather cardstock and Flowering Fields DSP. My sentiment came from Hello Lady Bug. The ladybugs, of course, were stamped and punched from the Hello Ladybug bundle. The measurements and instructions are on the video.

This second card is done as a landscape card.

This card is made with Rich Razzleberry cardstock and New Horizons DSP. The image is hand-cut from the Sale-A-Bration set Friendly Hello. I used Rich Razzleberry, and Highland Heather Stampin' Blends to color them with Light Melon Mambo in the center of the flower. I added 5 Irridescent Rhinestones to finish it off. The sentiment is also from Friendly Hello.  

Again, cut sizes and instructions can be viewed on the YouTube video listed above.

Floral Squares...April Monthly Class to Go!!

 The 2021-2022 Annual Catalog is quickly coming to a close. Featured in the April Class to Go is a set that will be retiring May 2. 

The Monthly Class to Go features a stamp or die set and card kits made with them. For $35 this month you will get the Floral Die set plus 4 card kits using these dies. You also receive a PDF tutorial with full color photos of each card.

As an ADD-ON you can purchase the All Squared Away stamp set which coordinates with the Floral Dies for the catalog price of $23 and I will pay the Shipping and the Tax.

What a deal...right??

Here are the cards in this Class to Go.

 This card uses one of the floral dies. The card base is Basic Black, the mat is Basic White and the decorative mat is from the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper pack cut with a Contour die. The DSP behind the floral piece is also from this DSP. The floral piece is cut from Basic Black and the flowers are from the DSP. The bow is Bumblebee Gingham ribbon which is soon retiring. The gems are Pearl Basic Jewels.

This card uses another of the floral dies. The cardbase is Basic White, the DSP is from Heart & Home DSP. The cardstock is Basic Gray for the floral frame and the flowers are Polished Pink cardstock. The card is finished off with Polished Pink ribbon and a Polished Pink gem in the center. 

 This card uses all four of the floral squares and retiring Rainbow Glimmer DSP. The base is Basic White, the mat is Basic Black and the floral squares are cut from Basic White, backed with the Glimmer paper. Pearl Basic Jewels finish off the card.

This last card demonstrates the All Squared Away stamp set that coordinates with the Floral Squares dies. The stamp set has 4 background stamps but I only used 3 here. They are cut at 1 3/4" x 1 3/4" to fit snuggly behind the diecut squares which measure 2" x 2". They are stamped in Garden Green and placed on a Petal Pink card base. The Soft Succulent ribbon backs the sentiment from the All Squared Away stamp set which is stamped in Garden Green  onto Basic White with each end punched with the Lovely Labels pick a punch. The label measures 4 1/4" x 3/4".

This is the card that I demonstrated on the Facebook Live which can be viewed on YouTube here.
