Three Beautiful Cards with the Mosaic Garden Suite Collection
Yesterday on my Id Rather Bee Stampin’ Facebook Page, I had so much fun creating these three beautiful cards featuring the Mosaic Garden Suite Collection!
This suite is filled with gorgeous floral patterns and a lovely color palette that makes it easy to create cards with plenty of interest and dimension. For these three designs, I mixed and matched the coordinating Designer Series Paper, added textured layers, and incorporated some sweet ribbon and embellishment details.
The first card may be my favorite of the bunch! The angled floral panel, textured diamond-shaped layer, ribbon detail, and sweet sentiment all come together for a card that is full of dimension and personality. Sometimes a few extra layers are exactly what a card needs!
The second card features a beautiful floral image paired with a soft bow and a classic Happiest Birthday greeting. I love how the layers frame the focal image and let that gorgeous patterned paper peek through.
For the third card, I had fun creating a more playful mosaic-style layout by combining several pieces of the coordinating paper. The Wishing You Every Good Thing sentiment takes center stage while the different patterns create a beautiful patchwork effect.
Which card is your favorite? I’d love to know!
Make 2 Cards with the New Stampin’ Up! Painted Pumpkins Bundle
Fall crafting is here, and I had so much fun playing with the new Stampin’ Up! Painted Pumpkins Bundle during my Facebook Live! I created two cards featuring the bundle, along with the coordinating masks and Designer Series Paper.
I love how versatile the Painted Pumpkins Bundle is. With the masks, coordinating DSP, different pumpkin images, and fun greetings, you can create cards that are sweet and simple or layered and detailed.
If you missed my Facebook Live, be sure to check out the replay and craft along with me! These two cards are a fun way to kick off the fall crafting season. I lost internet connection at before i could complete the second card – only to find out the cause – squirrels had chews through my internet cables! Those rascals! All is repaired now so, hoping I am good to go!!!!
I started with the “I hope your day is fabulous” card. I love the soft, layered look of this one, combining the Painted Pumpkins images with patterned paper, blending with one of the masks, ribbon, and a few pops of color. The pumpkins add just the right amount of fall fun without making the card feel too busy.
For my second card, I went with a more whimsical look featuring the “Hello Gourd-geous” sentiment. The assortment of pumpkins in different colors makes this card especially fun, and I love how the little details bring it all together. It’s definitely a card that will make someone smile! I stamped the three pumpkins/gourds with Black ink – and then used one of the masks to add color to each – Calypso Coral, Golden Glow and Pool Party. I also used a Black Stampin’ Blend and flecked some color onto the pumpkins.
Make a Super Fun Spinning Spider Card with the Stampin’ Up! Web of Fun Bundle!
Who says Halloween cards have to be spooky? Sometimes they can just be a little bit of fun!
During my recent Facebook Live, I pulled out the Stampin’ Up! Web of Fun Bundle and created this playful Halloween card featuring a spider that actually SPINS! And yes, I had way too much fun with this one.
The card starts with a simple white background embossed with the adorable little spiderweb and spider details from the Web of Fun products. I kept the background mostly white, which lets the black and orange elements really stand out.
The large HALLOWEEN greeting is the star of the card, with the fun script Happy layered above it in bright orange. Then comes my favorite part…
That little spider in the lower corner isn’t just sitting there! I added a mini 360° spinner bearing (sold here) behind the spider so it can spin around when you give it a little flick.
These tiny spinner pieces are designed for crafts and cardmaking, and they make a fun interactive element without adding a lot of bulk to the card.
It’s such a simple addition, but it completely changes the feel of the card. Give that spider a little flick and watch him go!
Here’s another card that in a totally different color scheme that uses the same bundle and spinning spider!
