Mediterranean Blooms Suite Collection

This month in my clubs we are making a stunning simple card using the Mediterranean Blooms Suite Collection! I was so attracted to the 2 dies that make the leafy frame - we are using that on the club card….hint hint…come check out one of my clubs! It’s a fun place to hang out with friends and make really special cards once a month! Besides making the special cards, you also get a picture tutorial for each club card.

 
 

This month, Citrus Blooms Bundle saves you an extra 10% when you order as a bundle….hurry - there is Low Inventory right now. You can order direct from my website. estherboyle@stampinup.net

Here is a card we had at a recent card buffet….this card will also be available at my next card buffet sometime in July

 
 

TIPS: the dies cut out both stamped image and Designer Series Paper images for the oranges. The lemons are in the Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper 12 x 12 and are fussy cut.

getting organized….

At our recent team meeting, one of my team members, Vicky, showed a notebook she put together to help with finding some Stampin’ Up products…..and I just loved it! While I do think the some of the changes in our new catalog have been necessary to help new customers simplify their shopping, it is desirable to see all our Designer Series Paper in one place to decide which one to use on a project or which punch might work best.

This past week, Camille has spent lots of time creating a PDF with all the punches, all the DSP, and all Online Exclusives, and card kits. While these lists will need updating constantly….I think you will find them helpful. Please click on the links below and print for your reference to look at in hand.

PDF Online Exclusives
PDF Punches 2024

I’ll have to do some more work on the Designer Series Paper PDF…for some reason it is not uploading.

Take Care! Keep stamping and I’ll send more out later.

Thanks for visiting!

Scrapbooking with Country Birdhouse Bundle #163401 $46.75

You can do soooo much with the Country Birdhouse….stamp the image and color it in like we have done for this scrapbook spread, stamp and die cut on Designer Series Paper or die cut and dry emboss with one of our embossing folder and then use a blending brush to add some color….at my clubs this month, we are learning a fun technique with the Eyelet 3D embossing folder and Night of Navy ink and then you will see a 3D birdhouse next week from my team meeting! Total fun!

Click on each picture to enlarge and see complete image.

And here’s a card we did for a class this past week. I am planning on having it at a card buffet scheduled June 7th and 8th also. It uses the Country Birdhouse bundle.

Notice the Country Woods 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper is used as a background for the birdhouse. Another background added is actually die cut out of Basic White cardstock and then we used the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder to add texture to a die cut. This die cut is from Perennial Postage Dies. After embossing, use a Blending Brush and add just a bit of color from a Crumb Cake ink pad. The birdhouse is die cut out of dark woodgrain Country Woods 12 x 12 DSP. You can either die cut the bird hole opening from card stock and adhere on to the birdhouse OR you can directly cut the hole in the birdhouse DSP and add a piece of CS behind the hole for more dimension.

The pretty little flower and leave dies come in the set also! Create away!

If you wish list is over $100, you may want to join our Stampin’ Up family! There is a special perk this month with joining!

Stampin' Up Country Birdhouse

Happy Mother’s Day!

to you who are mom’s.

Today, I just have a little teaser for the Country Birdhouse bundle. It is such a wonderful set! I’m not really a bird fan, but the little birdhouse is soooo cute! It’s just a little whimisical to make it cute and still realistic to make it lovely! I love the little flowers in this set! They are so easy to color in and the design creates an environment you can choose so many different colors to use and it looks so neat! Next week I’ll have more to show you from the Country Birdhouse.

Please make a change in your email address book for me!!!!!

Over the years, I’ve been reluctant to make a change in my email address…It’s always a misery to make an adjust to a different email….seems our computers like to remember what we have used forever!
