In Color Card and 3D Paper Flowers

Hello Friends,

Oh Wow, I love the way the 2021-2023 Stampin' Up! In Colors play together! Here they are in all their glory as a 3D Flower and greenery display.

5 new 2021-2023 In Colors

Polished Pink

Fresh Freesia

Pale Papaya

Soft Succulent

Evening Evergreen

The flowers were fashioned with the Daisy and Medium Daisy Punches.  I stamped every other layer using the Daisy Lane stamp set.  The ferny greenery was cut with the Forever Flourishing dies.

Here's a card using the Beautiful Friendship stamp set with a different twist.  The trees were stamped running down the left side of the card.  Again, look how well the In Color play together.  I used all 5 In Color for stamping, plus Balmy Blue for the sky (brushed on with a blending brush).

Triangular Trees-Soft Succulent

Thank You-Evening Evergreen

Rounded Trees-Pale Papaya, then Fresh Freesia

You Truly Inspire Me-Polished Pink

Harvest Hello Says Good-Bye

Hello Friends,

As of May 3, 2021, it's so long Harvest Hello stamp set.  Let's send this stamp set off in fun fashion by remember 4 Harvest Hello projects from the past starting with this DIY Pencil Vase Teacher Gift.  See the video below to learn how to make this gorgeous Teacher's Gift.

 

 

 

 

The Harvest Hellos stamp set and the coordinating Apple Builder Punch isn't just about apples, it's also pumpkins.  Try making this 3D Hey There Pumpkin Tag.

Hey There Pumpkin Tag Tips & Tricks

Stamp the pumpkin 5 times onto Terracotta Tile Card Stock, then punch with the apple builder punch.  Note that the Apple Builder Punch works equally well for pumpkins.

Fold each pumpkin in half.  Then glue the second half of pumpkin A to the first half of pumpkin B. Next, glue the second half of pumpkin B to the first half of pumpkin C.  Continue on until all the pumpkins are connected.  Finally, adhere pumpkin to tag as shown.

For these card, I paired the County Home (also retiring) and Harvest Hellos stamps.    Get the full scoop here.

 I went to my Harvest Hellos and Massive Thanks stamp set for this Autumn Thank You Card.  Pick up all the card making details here.

Good Morning Magnolia Cards & Boxes

Hello Friends,

Today is my final salute to the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set and the Magnolia Memory Dies.  Both the Magnolia stamp set and dies are retiring and are available only until May 3, 2021, or WHILE SUPPLIES LAST. 

Learn how to make custom boxes with 3-D Flowers and this gorgeous Hello Card.  Stick around to the end of the post.  There's another surprise card inside with the gift.

These beautiful 3-D flowers are super simple to make using the Magnolia Memory Dies.  For a video tutorial on how to make flowers with these die click here.  These smaller flowers are towards the end of the video.  To make the sweet stitched edge on the box top I used the Stitched With Whimsy dies.  The gold foil embellishments are bits and pieces from the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper (also retiring).

 

Make boxes in all sizes by following the techniques in this How to Make Custom Size Gift Box Video Tutorial.

To make this Good Morning Magnolia Card, I once again used the Stitched With Whimsy dies to make the charming border.  I Water Colored my flowers with Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody and Old Olive Inks.
