Lovely

Lovely certain seems a fair way to describe this Wednesday. Would you like to know why?

It’s that time of year…where Stampin’ Up! is offering FREE shipping on any order of $75 and above. I’ve had some items hanging out in my cart for a little while now, and I used this opportunity to save big on shipping since quite a bit of it was paper and other weighty items. Now is the perfect time to buy that paper or anything else in your shopping cart because you’ll save BIG on shipping. But better act fast because this deal won’t last long – July 23 through July 25! Check out my online store to learn more!

And that brings us to our card design for today. This week, we’ve been giving the Florals in Bloom suite a bit more attention and pairing it with other items in the crafty stash. Today’s combo includes the Country Woods patterned paper and brushed silver specialty paper. Let’s check it out.

We get started with a base the new In Color cardstock called Cloud Cover. The background panel is a piece of the lovely Florals in Bloom paper that is matted on brushed silver and adhered directly to the card front. I cut a piece of the blue woodgrain pattern from the Country Woods paper pack using the Everyday Arches dies and adhered this focal panel to background panel. Using the Pretty Florals dies, I cut stems and florets from a combination of Shaded Spruce, Pretty in Pink, and Strawberry Slush cardstock. The flowers are assembled with glue dots and each is adhered to the focal panel with dimensionals of varying heights. Using the Sweet Blooms dies, I cut the sentiment from a combination of brushed silver and a piece of pink shimmer paper from my retired stash bin. You could easily get the same shimmery effect by cutting from any shade of pink and then covering with Wink of Stella. I used my glue pen to adhere the two parts of the sentiment together. The sentiment is adhered over the flowers with extra dimensionals to be sure it stands above. We finish things off with the pink gems across the card front.

What do you think of this pretty simple design?

Floral Thoughts

susanfoxbowenLeave a comment

This week, we’re giving the elements in the Florals in Bloom suite a bit more love and combining them with other fun products in the stash. Today, we’re pairing up the Pretty Florals stamp set with the Thoughtful Designs specialty paper and Country Corners dies.

Our card begins with a base of Cloud Cover cardstock. A sheet of the blue Thoughtful Designs specialty paper serves as the dramatic backdrop for our focal panel. I love the intricate foiled detailing in this paper. I chose the darker end of the blue ombre sheet for the contrasting drama that it adds to this happy garden scene. Our focal panel begins with a base of Cloud Cover cardstock that is cut with the largest Country Corners die. A small stand of wildflowers stamped with the Pretty Florals stamps set adorn the panel in shades of pink, purple, and yellow. The sentiment from The Right Words stamp set is stamped in Secret Sea onto white cardstock and then cut with a combination of paper trimmer and paper snips to create a banner. I tied a length of white diagonal trim around the top of the panel and then adhered the sentiment panel over it with dimensionals. A bow of silver & white sheer ribbon over the center of the white trim adds the perfect touch of sparkle, along with a little Wink of Stella on the cone flowers, some gold foil gems over the purple flowers, and drusy embellishments scattered across the front.

Even cards that take a more serious tone can have touches of sparkle here and there to help invoke feelings of genuine care and heartfelt wishes.

Coming Up Flowers

susanfoxbowenLeave a comment

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks around here in Song Sparrow land. Between completely redecorating my son’s room (minus the paint – that’s still on the to-do list!) and then prepping to go on vacation, let’s just say I was chasing my tail and had zero brain cells left for creative work!

But in the end, the kiddo was over the moon with his new room setup and we had a fabulous time on vacation. The vacation was, of course, the highlight for the adults because we traveled to a place we’ve been to many times (and love) that provides oodles of things for the kiddos to do without a screen. And for people who love to be outside fishing and enjoying the great outdoors, it was heaven! So all in all, I would call the hiatus from designing a win.

I don’t really feel like I did the last design theme a lot of justice with only 3 designs using the Florals in Bloom suite. So this week, we’re going to continue creating with this beautiful combination of products. And to spice things up, because you know that’s how I roll, we’ll be bringing in other sets as we go to keep it all interesting. For today’s design, we’re pairing the Florals in Bloom paper with The Right Words stamp set and the Beautiful Butterflies and Everyday Arches die sets.

We get started with a base of Highland Heather cardstock. The background panel is a combination of the small purple floral pattern from the Florals in Bloom paper pack and a mat of Highland Heather glimmer paper that I’m fortunate enough to still have in my stash. I tied a bit of Petunia Pop iridescent ribbon around the bottom of the background panel to help bring out the subtle shades of pink and lighter shades of purple. The background panel is adhered to the card front with dimensionals. The focal panel is cut from white cardstock using the Everyday Arches dies and turned on its side. I’ve then stamped the sentiment from The Right Words set in Gorgeous Grape on the side up and adhered the panel against the far edge of the background panel. A beautiful, dainty butterfly cut from pastel ombre and silver foil paper using the Beautiful Butterflies dies adds the perfect pop of sparkle and bit of visual interest that draws the eye directly to our focal panel. It’s adhered to our focal panel with a double-dose of dimensionals for an extra boost. A few purple sequins scattered about the card front in strategic places give the bits of sparkly interest so your eye moves across the design.

This design is clean and simple and comes together in a snap but lacks nothing in the drama department – which is just my style!

The Right Words

susanfoxbowenLeave a comment

Our design spotlight for this week is the Florals in Bloom suite by Stampin’ Up! Aside from the fact that this suite is gorgeous in every conceivable way, it’s been the perfect spot of sunshine in a week that hasn’t been the happiest here in North Texas. Whether you are personally impacted by the flooding in the Texas Hill Country or not, there seems to be a universal feeling of sadness as we all come to grips with the innocent lives lost in the blink of an eye.

Today’s card design is inspired by those difficult moments where we simply don’t have any words to say. We simply hope that a hug will do. And for cardmakers, sometimes we have to send a hug in the mail. This card pairs the Pretty Florals bundle with The Right Words stamp set for the perfect hug in the mail.

We get started with a base of Coastal Cabana cardstock. The focal panel backdrop is a simple piece of white cardstock diecut with one of the larger Textured Notes dies. I wanted to create a window look and so I used the Everyday Arches dies to create a window frame of white cardstock and then cut a backdrop of Pretty Peacock that is machine embossed with the Distressed Tiles embossing folder to give the look of a paneled wall in the background. Our window is mounted over gold striped mesh ribbon for a subtle bit of twinkle that spans the card front. I loved the idea of a flowering fine climbing outside the window to add that touch of happy color. The flowers are stamped in various shades of pink, yellow, orange, and red-orange on white carsdtock using the Pretty Florals stamps and then diecut with the coordinating dies. The vine is cut from a sheet of the green ombre glimmer paper in the pastel ombre paper pack. The vine and flowers are adhered next to the window using a combination of glue dots and dimensionals to create a layered look. We add little pops of sparkle across the card front with a combination of foil gems in a variety of colors.

The dies in the Florals in Bloom suite offer a lot of opportunity for beautiful designs. We’ll explore more of what the dies can do in our next design. I hope you’ll drop by and check it out.

Garden Thoughts

susanfoxbowenLeave a comment

As we here in Texas continue to process the losses and devastation caused by the flooding over the holiday weekend, it tends to put you in a more contemplative mood. And it certainly stops you in your tracks and leads you to think of all the things for which we have to be grateful – even in the midst of tragedy. One of the more profound things is not only the outpouring of love and support from neighbors, businesses, and volunteers far and wide, but more importantly the testimonies of faith that so many of these families are sharing with the world. A reminder that no breath is promised but that, through it all, our God faithfully walks with us and beside us.

So today’s card leans into the love and support of neighbor sharing with neighbor. We’re using the beautiful Florals in Bloom suite this week, and I stuck to another very simple design that lets the beautiful paper and a sentiment from Layered Thoughts do all the hard work.

Our card starts with a base of Basic Grey cardstock. I chose the sheet with the stands of smaller flowers from the Florals in Bloom pack and double matted to bring out the more subtle colors of grey in the patterned sheet. The bottom mat is a piece of Cloud Cover cardstock, while the shimmery glimmer paper provides a super sneak peek at the Peaceful Garden glimmer paper pack that will release in the Holiday Mini catalog in the fall. The sentiment from the Layered Thoughts stamp set is stamped on white paper in a combination of Cloud Cover, Fresh Freesia, and Blackberry Bliss. I really loved the layered look of this sentiment. The panel is adhered over navy linen thread & Petunia Pop iridescent ribbon. A few charming shimmer dots add the last bit of twinkle on either side of the sentiment.

Tomorrow we’re going to dive into the stamp sets from this suite!

Florals in Bloom

Thanks a Bunch

susanfoxbowenLeave a comment

It’s the start of a brand new week. And I must say that it’s laden with some heavy burdens for those of us who live here in Texas as we’ve watched the tragedy of the holiday weekend flooding event in the Hill Country unfold. I saw today that areas of the Carolinas are also experiencing torrential rains and record flooding. So for a lot of us, our thoughts are consumed with a collective sadness and mourning for the loss of life and devastation left behind. I wrote a little about this on Saturday, as well.

But I’m trying to turn my thoughts and focus onto the hope and light that follows all of life’s storms. And so we’re moving onward and upward as we tackle a brand new design theme this week — the Florals in Bloom Suite. This gorgeous suite, which is currently so popular that it’s on backorder, pairs some beautiful floral designs in paper, stamps, and dies, along with a package of the new In Color flat pearls that coordinate beautifully with the paper. We’re pairing up the gorgeous patterned paper with the Label Me Grateful stamps today to create a super simple thank-you card.

Our card gets started with a base of Peach Pie cardstock. Our focal panel is a combination of three papers. Our base is a lovely dashed pattern from the Florals in Bloom paper pack. The main panel is also from this paper pack and combines blue and peach-hued floral stems. I matted the main panel in Summer Splash glimmer paper to bring out the more subtle tones in the focal paper and to give some contrast against the Secret Sea patterned backdrop. I turned this panel askew for a playful look and nice visual interest. The sentiment from the Label Me Grateful stamp set is stamped in Secret Sea on Cloud Cover cardstock and then diecut with the largest label die from the Mixed Labels die set. The sentiment panel is mounted on dimensionals above a lovely decorative bundle of Summer Splash bordered ribbon. We finish things off with some riverside pearls and In Color flat pearls.

Tomorrow we’re going to dancing through the flowers. I hope you’ll come join!

Grateful Heart

susanfoxbowenLeave a comment

Happy Independence Day, everyone! We are certainly thankful to live here in the great U. S. of A. and are looking forward to reflecting on all that makes America great!

This week, we’re creating designs using some of the new Online Exclusives that launched this week. Today’s design uses the Label Me Grateful bundle to create a stunning thank-you card.

We get started with a base of Misty Moonlight cardstock. The tone-on-tone backdrop is created using the detail dies in the Label Me Grateful die set. The leaves and twigs are adhered directly to the card base, leaving space in the center for the focal panel. Our focal panel begins with a backdrop of Thoughtful Designs specialty paper cut with the label die from Label Me Grateful. The sentiment from the coordinating stamp set is stamped in a combination of Cloud Cover and Versamark and then heat embossed for a touch of glossy sparkle. And as an added bonus, I happened to have some glitter embossing powder! The sentiment is cut out using the Everyday Arches dies. I had some Country Flowers white glimmer paper flowers leftover from another project that I chose to use as an accent at the bottom of the sentiment panel. I cut a few leaves from Mossy Meadow with the Label Me Grateful die to make the flower look more finished. The sentiment panel is adhered over silver & white sheer ribbon with dimensionals onto the Thoughtful Designs backdrop panel. The focal panel is then adhered in the center of the card with dimensionals. Drusy embellishments finish things off with a nice amount of sparkle.

We’re going to be putting the focus on embellishments for our next project. Hope you pop in to check it out!

Monster Mash

susanfoxbowenLeave a comment

Happy Wacky Wednesday, as my kiddo likes to say! Part of me can’t believe it’s Wednesday, and then at the same time, it seems like the longest week ever. Funny how short weeks with holidays are always like that. Wacky for sure!

This week, we’re having fun designing with some of the new Online Exclusive products that launched this week. And today we’re playing with the new Spooky Sweet paper and ephemera again because I just couldn’t resist these cute critters all dressed up and ready for a good party! When I first saw the sheet of paper in the pack with all of the Halloween cuties on it, all I could think of was the song Monster Mash. And *voila* that’s how this design came to life.

We get started with a base of Highland Heather cardstock. I used another one of the 4×5 panels from another Spooky Sweet sheet as the background panel. It reminded me of a photo prop. What do you think? Next to the arches of our photo area, we adhere two of the large urns from the ephemera sheet and then place the mummy hippo in front on a layer of dimensionals. I cut two of the cute critters from Halloween cuties sheet in the pack and used multiple layers of dimensionals to adhere them in front of our hippo to give the effect of these little guys being more in front of our hippo who’s striking his best pose. To add to the festive atmosphere, we’ve hung some banners in the back and have some sparkly confetti falling. So simple but so cute!

Tomorrow we’re going to see more of the Label Me Grateful bundle. I hope you drop by and check it out!

Fairy Korn

Welcome in on this fine Tuesday! We’re enjoying a cool front here, which makes it a bit more pleasant to be outside. And anytime you can enjoy a July evening outside is a good one in Texas!

Did you get a chance to see all of the new products that dropped today? There’s a whole new batch of Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusives and 2 new kits. If you haven’t seen the new goodies yet, you should pop over to my store and take a look! This week, we’re creating designs that use some of these new products. Today, I’m showcasing the new Spooky Sweet paper pack and included ephemera. You can easily whip up adorable Halloween-themed scenes like this one.

This card gets started with a base of Basic Black cardstock. I cut one of the 4×5 cards from the Spooky Sweet scene sheet to serve as the backdrop for this scene card, and it’s matted with a piece of the pink/purple pastel ombre shimmer paper for some extra sparkly pizzazz. A handful of ephemera create our focal section, which is a combination of the cute bear dressed up as a fairy, a cauldron and bubbles, some candy corn, and a bat. Dimensionals are the key to giving lots of depth to this scene. Wink of Stella adds subtle twinkle to the fairy’s wings, crown, and scepter, as well as the cauldron bubbles. I also added some rhinestone and shimmer gems to the fairy’s crown, some clear gems to the cauldron bubbles, and finished off the night sky with a few shimmer foam stars. Easy peasy!

Tomorrow we’re headed to the monster mash. I hope you’ll drop in!

Welcome to a bright, shiny week all full of fun and possibilities! We had a nice lowkey weekend. With things really heating up here in North Texas, there wasn’t much fun to be had outside unless you were up for frying an egg on the sidewalk! *wink*

We’re starting a new design series this week. With a whole new set of Online Exclusives dropping tomorrow, we’re going to be taking a closer look at some of the things that I just couldn’t wait to get my hands on. And first up is the Label Me Grateful bundle, which is a set of lovely scripted sentiments and a set of dies that includes a large label and accent pieces. Today, I’m pairing it up with the Timeless Plaid paper to create a nice masculine card.

We get started with a base of neutral Crumb Cake cardstock. A sheet of the green plaid paper from the Timeless Plaid pack serves as our backdrop. I used the label die from the new Label Me Grateful set to cut a piece of Cloud Cover Flower Garden foil. The sentiment from the Label Me Grateful stamp set is stamped in Secret Sea on white cardstock and then cut with the middle label die from the Mixed Labels die set using the extension method. The sentiment is adhered over a twist of the new Mossy Meadow & Gold trim using dimensionals. I cut a few sprigs of greenery and a flower from pastel ombre glimmer paper and tucked them next to the sentiment. One of the new Secret Sea charming shimmer faceted dots serves as the floral center, while gold flecked gems flank the sentiment panel on either side.

Tune in tomorrow to see what’s cooking up next. *spooky*
