FB Live Recap: Sweet Conversations Valentine’s Projects

 

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, so I made a couple of cute projects on my Facebook Live video this week. I used the Sweet Conversations Bundle and the Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper, which are in the current Mini-Catalog, to create an easy Valentine cake treat box and a festive Tower Card. The treat box holds a package of Little Debbie Valentine cakes. I’ve seen several tower cards on different sites, but I’ve readjusted the dimensions to make it an A-2 size card, which fits into the standard medium envelopes.

If you missed the live presentation, you can watch the replay here. I’m on my Facebook group page every Tuesday at 2 p.m. ET to share a few projects with you using the latest Stampin’Up! products.

Windmill and Tulips

 

Very little effort is needed to make this stunning card. It employs two of the papers from the Flowering Fields DSP, which is in the new mini-catalog, as well as the large windmill die cuts from the Windmill Fields Die set, which is part of the Tulip Fields bundle.

The card base is Mango Melody cut at 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″. The first layer is a piece Basic Black measuring 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″.  Next, layer on this a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Flowering Fields DSP that resembles a cloudy sky.

Cut a piece of the small tulip Flowering Fields DSP approximately 4″ x 2″. Fussy cut around the top row of tulips, then adhere to the bottom of the card front, leaving the top edge of the flowers loose.

Crop the solid large windmill building out of Crumb Cake cardstock. Crop the detailed part of the building as well as the windmill sails out of Soft Suede cardstock then glue them onto the cropped Crumb Cake piece. Add a Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dot to the center of the windmill sails. Glue the completed windmill to the card front, tucking the bottom edge just slightly under the top of the row of tulips. Finish gluing the top edge of the tulips to the card front.

For the inside, stamp a sentiment of your choice with Memento Ink onto a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Basic White cardstock. For my card, I used the “Thinking of you” sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set. Crop the tiny row of tulips from a strip of Mango Melody cardstock and glue them to the top of the white cardstock. Adhere the finished piece to the inside of the card.

 

 

Cut a 5 3/4″ x 2 3/8″ piece of the tulip DSP and adhere to the flap of the envelope. Trim the excess from around the edge of the envelope.

Daffodil Afternoon DSP Card

 

It’s January, so that means there’s a new Sale-a-bration event happening! One of the products that is free with any $50 purchase is the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper. The paper coordinates with the Daffodil Daydream Bundle, but there are so many beautiful designs in this pack of paper that it can be used all by itself.

I have a design for an all-occasion card showcasing the Designer Paper that is simple to make but gives elegant results. You can use whatever greeting you like for the front to customize your card. You can also switch the basic cardstock color to coordinate with whichever DSP you choose.

  • For the card base, score an 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock at 4 1/4″.
  • Emboss a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock with the Gingham embossing Folder and adhere it to a 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock.
  • Emboss a 3 1/3″ x 3 1/3″ piece of Basic White cardstock with the Tasteful Textile Embossing folder and set aside.
  • Cut 4 pieces of Daffodil Afternoon DSP measuring 1 3/8″ x 1 3/8″. Adhere them to four pieces of Flirty Flamingo cardstock cut at 1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″. Use dimensionals to attach these evenly spaced onto the embossed piece of Basic White cardstock. Attach this piece to the embossed Flirty Flamingo piece with dimensionals. Refer to photo for placement.
  • Tie a piece of White Crinkle Seam Binding Ribbon around the card front, then attach to the card base.
  • Stamp a greeting of your choice to a scrap of Basic White cardstock and crop with a die from the Stitched So Sweetly Die set, then attach it to the card front with dimensionals.
  • Embellish the greeting with Pastel Pearls. For my greeting, I used a sentiment from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set.
  • For the inside, adhere a 1/2″ x 4″ strip of DSP to a 5/8″ x 4″ strip of Flirty Flamingo, then adhere to the top of a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Basic White cardstock. Stamp with a sentiment of your choice or leave blank to write your own message.

 

 

  • For the envelope, apply glue to the flap of the envelope and adhere a 5 3/4″ x 2 1/2″ piece of DSP to it. Trim away the excess DSP.

FB Live Recap: Blackberry Bliss Eden’s Garden

 

There’s something about the Eden’s Garden stamp set that always draws me back to it!

I’ve used this set for some Christmas cards and now brought it back to make some “just because” cards.
