Thursday, July 9, 2026

Last night was our Monthly Team Meeting. It was a small group this month, but we always enjoy being together.

As always we have a lot of shares to share with one another.

This first was made by Jen. A cute little card with a fun fold (and a kitty, of course!)

Our next card was made by Inez - who had a 4th of July theme on one of her classes/groups

Super cute with the SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE Dies

The next card was made by Raecell who needed a Baptism card for her nieces baby's baptism. Super cute, using the BLESSED BEGINNINGS bundle, and the EVERYDAY ARCHES

Waterside Retreat

Wednesday, July 8, 2026

The Waterside Retreat Suite is so amazing. As soon as I first saw it, I knew that it would be a big seller.

Today's card was inspired by Mary Anne Cowen and really packs a WOW!

There are fussy cut layers of waves from the DSP to tuck your fish into and to give it depth. How very clever of Anne to figure out how to make a fish bucket from the Forever Florals Dies.

I did a bunch of prep work for my Tuesday stampers to make to process easier for them plus I REALLY like to fussy cut!!

Measurements:

Basic White Card Stock base: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″
Waterside Retreat DSP (sky paper) 2″ x 5-1/2″
Waterside Retreat DSP- cut the woodgrain to form the piles, wrap with Linen Thread
Bucket was created using the Lunar Lustre Specialty Paper and the Forever Florals dies
Loose Anchor Trinket

Balloon Festoon

Tuesday, July 7, 2026

BALLOON FESTOON!! what a fun name for a stamp set bundle.

Stampin' Up! assured us that this bundle will be available through April 2027 so I wanted to make a card for my Tuesday stampers. I was inspired by Narelle from Australia. However I am not sure what she used for her DSP(s), but I did like her layout.

I had one single 12x12 sheet of the LOVELY BLOSSOMS DSP left over (it is still current) that I used for the 1-3/4" strip.

I die cut the smallest balloon from some Lost Lagoon 6x6 DSP (last years patterns). I stamped a small balloon onto Basic White using Lost Lagoon Ink and die cut it out. I die cut the next size balloon from Lost Lagoon card stock and stamped some of the stars on it (also in Lost Lagoon)

Now here's the tricky part: I stamped the balloon strings, then fussy cut them out, and they all were attached with some mini glue dots. I found some retired dots that matched pretty well, so went with that, but you can use whatever you have on hand.

Framed Violets

Monday, July 6, 2026

There is one Stampin' Up! demonstrator that I enjoy following because she makes such elegant cards, Gail Ellis. She used to be on the Stampin' Up! Artisan team, and I can see why!!

Flowers die cut in Fresh Freesia and Highland Heather and the stamped flower is colored in with the Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blends.

The background is stamped (Smoky Slate) using a retired stamp set Notes of Texture, and I chose to use the retired Mixed Labels Die for the sentiment as well as the anniversary sentiment from Elegantly Said.

Card #2 is Hydrangea Hue - I love this color!! The Anniversary sentiment is from PHRASES & FRAMES.

This third card I made for a bridal shower to add to the gift I bought for the new bride. I loved it so much that I cut enough for my Tuesday stampers, but put a Happy Birthday sentiment on it instead. The flowers are die cut from Fresh Freesia. The sentiment came from a favorite (but retired) stamp set Wonderful Moments.

For these three cards we used the FRAMED VIOLETS and VIOLET DREAMS DSP. We also used the FERN & FLORA Dies.

Card #2 also uses the BORDERED IN BEAUTY Dies. For the center of the flowers you can use the 2026-2028 In Color Pearls (in Golden Glow) OR you can use the Iridescent Pearls and color them (if desired) with the dark Golden Glow Stampin' Blend.

Just an FYI - Gail doesn't share any details on how to make her cards. I changed up the sentiment on all of them and also changed up the die cuts for the sentiments. She does have a PDF that you can purchase, but I am too stubborn to buy one since I can pretty much figure out how to make things just looking at the photo.
