I know. I must move on from all these tulips! I’ve been featuring the Flowering Tulips bundle all week, and yes, this is my last card, at least for awhile. But they’ll be back for Easter, I guarantee it!

This card used a special card base from the Abstract Beauty Cards and Envelopes, which is a set of beautiful cards with watercolor backgrounds and coordinating envelopes. So easy to grab one and get started with you card. Here they are:

My first job was to create some tulips, which I did, using the Tulips dies with Pale Papaya paper. I cut out the petals needs for all three sizes of tulips. I also cut out some leaves using Old Olive cardstock and the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper. The assembly of the tulips is quite easy, once you get the hang of it. I watched a tutorial online, and really enjoyed putting the three different-sized tulips together. I took a sponge dauber and some Poppy Parade ink, and lightly sponged the ends of the petals of the Pale Papaya flowers. I like the effect it made, giving them more dimension and a tough of color! Take a look at this brief video by Stampin’ Up! that explains how to put them together. Click here: https://fb.watch/aQrdJas1la/

I then stamped one of the sentiments from the stamp set with Poppy Parade ink on a scrap of Basic White cardstock. I cut it out using one of the circle dies from the Beautiful Shapes Dies. I popped the sentiment up on the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I finished with some red embellishments and a double bow from some red baker’s twine that I had in my stash, and I was done! Such fun!

Hello, friends — My focus on the beautiful products in the Flowering Fields Suite continues today with the stamp set Flowering Tulips.

First, I cut a card base from Basic White cardstock. I then cut a panel Rich Razzleberry cardstock at 5 1/4″ x 4″. The next panel of Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper was cut at 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″. The panel of Whisper White was cut from one of the Scalloped Contours Dies. I then did some stamping using the beautiful Flowering Tulips two-step stamps.

I used Rich Razzleberry ink to stamp the two-step stamps. The first in full color, and then the second overlaying stamp in a stamped-off fashion. That way, the color looks lighter, but is in the same tones. I stamped the leaves in Garden Green. Take a look at these beautiful images and sentiments:

Finally, I added some white baker’s twine and Highland Heather baker’s twine from a Paper Pumpkin kit, tied together. Then I popped the Contour Die panel onto the card. I then added some Iridescent Jewels to add a little bling, and I was done!

Take a look at this fun video to give you an even better overview of the beautiful Flowering Fields Suite!

I just love the Rich Razzleberry tones!

Hello, Stampers! It’s a sunny day here in northern Minnesota. Even though it’s cold outside, the sun through the windows brings some heat. Spring is aaaalllllllmost around the corner. This week, I continue to share cards made with the Flowering Tulips bundle.

First, I cut a card base from Basic White cardstock. I then cut a panel Basic Black cardstock at 5 1/4″ x 4″ from one of the DSP papers. I cut another panel from the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper (found as a host set in the annual catalog) to 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8.” The next layer was in Basic White cardstock, cropped from the Scalloped Contours dies on which I then began to build my tulip bouquet.

I used the Simply Marbleous Designer Series Papers from the Sale-A-Bration brochure. The papers are so fun, and come in 6 x 6″ sheets. I cut out the pieces to make three tulips, and also some leaves and stems from Old Olive cardstock.

The assembly of the tulips is quite easy, once you get the hang of it. I watched a tutorial online, and really enjoyed putting the three different-sized tulips together. Take a look at this brief video by Sandy McCullough, who explains it so well!

I then stamped a sentiment from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a scrap of white paper and used another die from the Scalloped Contours die to cut it out. I popped it up on the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I finished with some Iridescent Jewels, and I was done! Such fun!

Hello, friends — we have a windy Wednesday going on, and the snow on the ground is blowing around. I’m planning on staying inside! How is the weather in your neck of the woods? This week I continue to show you a few projects from the new Flowering Tulips bundle. My card today features the beautiful Flowering Fields Designer Series Papers and the stamp set Flowering Tulips.

First, I cut a card base from Basic White cardstock. I then cut a panel Rich Razzleberry cardstock at 5 1/4″ x 4″. The two panels of Flowering Fields Designer Series Papers were cut at about 2 1/4 x 4 1/2, and 2″ by 4″. You can make them as wide and long as you’d like, depending on how much pattern you want on the card front. Before adhering those two panels in place, I used a Heart & Home doily, flipped over, so it’s showing its white side. I cut it in half, and tucked it under a panel, then adhered all to the card front.

I used the Flowering Tulips stamp set to stamp a sentiment on a white scrap of cardstock. I cropped it using a circle-shaped die from the Beautiful Shapes Dies and popped it up onto the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. These dies are so great, and will be a staple in my craft room. Check out these cool shapes, including the hexagons – yay!

I finished the card with a double bow from white baker’s twins and some new Iridescent Jewels. I just love the Rich Razzleberry tones!

We had a Mystery Stamping Weekend over at the Up North Stampin’ Gang Facebook page, and we had so much fun! Lots of great cards, and I love how they all turn out uniquely. Here was my card, based on the instructions I gave the gang members:

I’ll simply include the photos I created with the instructions and measurements, so you can create your own version.

The Flowering Fields DSP is new in the 2022 January-June Mini Catalog, and it’s so fun to work with. Both patterned papers I chose are from these 12 x 12″ papers.

The Flowering Tulips bundle provides so many options for a papercrafter. Notice that all the tulips in this card were created with just the dies and cardstock. However, if you add in the beautiful stamp set, the possibilities are numerous! Such fun for spring and Easter. And the sentiments are so lovely — you’ll be using them all year!

The Special Moments stamp set, from which I chose my sentiment, is a Sale-A-Bration free item with an order of $100.

There are SO many great sentiments in this set!

Hello, Stampers! I hope you are enjoying your Monday so far. This week is going to feature a few projects from a new bundle! I made a card today that included a pretty new doily from the Heart & Home Doilies, featuring the Flowering Tulips bundle:

First, I cut a card base from Basic White cardstock. I then cut a panel Basic Grey cardstock at 5 1/4″ x 4″ from one of the DSP papers. All the back sides of the papers are wood grains in neutrals shades of grays, black, and whites — love it! I cut the wood grain paper to 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8.” I then adhered a Basic Grey Doily toward the top of the card.

My next job was to create the tulips, and I used the Simply Marbleous Designer Series Papers from the Sale-A-Bration brochure. The papers are so fun, and come in 6 x 6″ sheets. I cut out the pieces to make three tulips, and also some leaves and stems.

The assembly of the tulips is quite easy, once you get the hang of it. I watched a tutorial online, and really enjoyed putting the three different-sized tulips together. Take a look at this brief video by Sandy McCullough, who explains it so well!

I then stamped a sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a scrap of white paper and used a circle die from the new Beautiful Shapes dies to crop it out. I used a retired ribbon in Flirty Flamingo to add a bow, and three 2021-2023 In Color Jewels to finish it off!

I used the Amazing Thanks dies and the beautiful Heart & Home Designer Series Papers to create a soft and pretty thank-you card. Thanks to Crafty Cards by Amanda for the inspiration.

First, I cut a card base from Basic White cardstock. I then cut a panel of Fresh Freesia cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and a panel from one of the DSP papers. All the backs sides of the papers are wood grains in neutrals shades of grays, black, and whites — love it! I cut the wood grain paper to 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8.”

I then chose four patterns from the beautiful Heart & Home papers. With two patterns, I cut two strips at 1 1/2″ by approximately 4 1/2″ and 1 1/2″ by 4″. It’s really up to you how long you want to make them. I chose the other two patterns for my circle. The two circles are the same size, slightly offset, and are from the retired Stitched Shapes dies. I then assembled all the layers onto the card. Here are the beautiful papers you can choose from in this set:

I then used the Amazing Thanks dies to make the THANKS lettering in Fresh Freesia and Basic White. The two layers of the letters are so pretty! Here are the dies:

I adhered the lettering to the card, and then added a couple of Pastel Pearls to finish.

I just love the beautiful Heart & Home Designer Series Papers, and I saw a cute banner card by SU! Artisan Tammy Wilson, and wanted to try it. It actually needed very few supplies, and was so fun to make!

I cut a card base panel from one of the backs of the papers, which are all wood grains in neutrals shades of grays, black, and whites. Love it! I then chose from five of the patterns from the beautiful Heart & Home papers, each cut about an inch wide, and two inches long. I then hand-cut banner edges at the bottom of each one. Here are the beautiful papers you can choose from in this set:

I took a larger needle, and made two holes in each banner piece, and then simply ‘sewed’ the pieces together and tied a knot at each end.

The sentiment is from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set. I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then cut diagonals at each end, popping it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a little bling in the form of the 2021-23 In Color Jewels. That was it! Simple and quick!
