Creative Card Making

Hello friends! Today I am back with information on the new Stampin' Up! 2020-2021 Catalog, and to begin a series of posts featuring some of the fun cards I have recently made.

The Stampin' Up! New Annual Catalog released to the public on Wednesday, June 3. If you have placed an order with me in the last twelve months you should have received a catalog in the mail. If you have not been a customer but would like to see the new catalog, you can find it at my online store front, HERE. Just scroll down till you see current catalogs.

Today I am featuring two cards I made using the In Good Taste Suite of products. I used the Tasteful Touches stamp set and the Tasteful Labels dies. I also used the In Good Taste designer series paper. It is the largest paper pack in the catalog as it has 24 sheet of 12x12 paper. There are lots of coordinating embellishments.

I will include a list of the items used on today's projects below.  Shop with me at Busywiththecricky.stampinup.net

Ornate Garden Faux Watercolor

Hello friends, welcome back to day two of Ornate Gardens. I have been very busy playing with this suite of products and if there is one piece that I like more than the rest, it is the ornate die used as a mat on the card above. I love the Ornate Layer dies! I am not ashamed to admit that I am a girly-girl who likes pretty visuals.

Ornate Style Bundle

The Ornate Layer dies may be purchased separately, or save 10% when you purchase the bundle. 

For this card I also used the large floral stamp in this bundle. I colored the stamp with Stampin' Up! stamp and write markers, spritzed the stamp with water, then stamped the wet stamp onto whisper white card stock. I love the watercolor effect this technique provides.

For those looking for a good reason to purchase this bundle, If you order thru my  Stampin' Up! online store, you will receive free from me, a tutorial of card designs to create using this set.  I have four volumes of designs totaling 90 card designs total.

Happy Birthday Bonanza Card

Hello friends! Today I am going to share a birthday card we created at my Stampin' Bingo Party earlier this month. I love this fun card! It just makes me happy to look at it. The colors are soothing, yet fun. The design is mostly simple, with enough pizzazz to be visually engaging. 

I used the Birthday Bonanza stamp and die bundle to create the Kuala bear, pennants, packages and balloons. I also used the stitched die circles and stitched die rectangles to complete the card.
