Delicate Petals

DELICATE PETALS

I made this sweet card for a friend's birthday.

The flower petals use: 

Pearlescent Specialty Paper

Petal Pink

Pear Pizzazz

and a touch of Going Gray

It's constructed entirely out of designer series paper

so the card forms it's own envelope!

This is such an amazing fold that shows off both sides of your favorite designer series paper!

A little scoring and a few snips - - 

with another flower on the back...

Opens up to hold a postcard style note for the birthday girl!

You'll have to excuse the shadowy pictures!

Sometimes a quick picture just has to do,

so it gets into the mail in time!

Supplies:

Stamps: Delicate Petals

Cutting & Embossing: Lacy Petals Dies

Paper: Whisper White, Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz, True Love Designer Series Paper

Ink: Real Red

Embellishments: Matte Black Dots

Dragonfly Garden

Coordinating stamps and punches make this a quick, fun card!

this card a smashing success!

Team Meeting!

 

Just like so many of you, after over 18 months of staying safe from Covid - - 

We had our first team meeting!

As a Stampin' UP! Demonstrator, there are so many perks beyond making our our own hours, early access to products, discounts, and commissions....

BUT, getting together with friends to share ideas and learn new techniques, 

is above all else, the best perk!

We were so excited to see each other again!

Beside catching up and enjoying each others' company...we did a little stampin' on the side.

Does it surprise you that I completely fell in LUV with this little guy?

I have named him Yertle.

I couldn't resist using the Top Hat from the Snowman Builder Punch to dress him all fancy for his debut!

I experimented with some layouts and different ways to color Yertle.

I'll share the different coloring variations with you very soon!

DELICATE PETALS

Another cute card using my favorite Delicate Petals stamp set 

and the coordinating Lacy Petals Dies.

If you haven't guessed...I am partial to black, white, and red!

I love the color combination!

This card falls somewhere in between super fancy and super casual 

showing off the versatility of this set 💗

Supplies:

Stamps: Delicate Petals

Cutting & Embossing: Lacy Petals Dies

Paper: Whisper White, Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz, True Love Designer Series Paper

Ink: Real Red

Embellishments: Matte Black Dots

Hydrangea Haven

HYDRANGEA HAVEN

My absolute favorite flower is the Hydrangea.

So, of course, I absolutely had to have this bundle.

The coordinating designer paper, Hydrangea Hill, is also absolutely gorgeous.

It's one of those papers that each and every design is so beautiful; you simultaneously can't decide which paper to choose, yet you don't want to cut into it.

BUT! If you love it - - you gotta' share it, right?

You can't hide it away in the package on the shelf somewhere! 

I was looking for a way to show off as much of each side as I could, when I created this fold.

I tend to stick to clean and classic layouts, so the fact that I created my very own fold kind of astounded even myself!

This card uses an 11 x 4 piece of Designer Series Paper.

I choose a coordinating solid color in the same size to match

('cuz I wanted to be able to make even more cards with this layout!)

Each piece gets scored similar to a 'z' fold card. 

So this becomes my simplified version of a double 'w'.

(Not a typo. Double W!)

(Or as my high school spanish teacher whispers

in my head - -  dough-blay-oooo)

It's late...I might be a little on the crazy side, right now.

Anyhoo...

As you can see it opens to a very, very long card.

But it's just gorgeous being able to really see all that pretty paper!

Each layer is still a "wow" feature even when partially folded.

An added element to it's uniqueness....

the structure of the folds and weight of the paper

allows the card to stand up on it's own for display!!!

I wish I could say that was all by perfect design. 

But really, I'm the one that's usually "3-D" challeged.

So, it was a complete HAPPY coincidence!!

Remember, when I mentioned this card really shows off both sides of 

the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper?

Well....here's the back of the card!!

And you get a really great big, solid area to admire! 

Who want's to cut this up into little 4 inch pieces 

and then cover it up???

We will definitely have to do a few more cards using this layout.

The pictures really don't do it justice!

In a couple of weeks, I'll have to create a tutorial to make this card.

Don't miss this paper! It's currently on the retiring list for June 30, 2021.

So it's also only while supplies last!
