Curvy Celebrations

Stampin’ Up! Curvy Celebrations ~ Three Cards and Tutorial

This Brand New and Exclusive Bundle is Available for a Very Limited Time ~ All Occasion Suite of Stamps, Dies and Designer Series Paper

I just received my Quite Curvy Bundle, which is just a part of the full Curvey Celebrations Bundle, and I am making a few cards for you. I think you will agree, they’re Awesome!

You can make Christmas Cards, New Year’s Cards, Valentine’s Cards and almost any occasion with this amazing bundle.

My personal favorite part of this suite is that they are CURVY, lol yep, no straight lines here. The most versatile set I have played with in a long time.

I have a list of the supplies below, so you can replicate any of these cards and create 100’s more. Plus there is a PDF download below showing all of the features of the suite.

Card #1 ~ You’re One in a Million

I just love this font, I am currently adoring the deep Pretty Peacock ink and cardstock and the Forever Greenery designer series paper here is just FUN!

Card #2 ~ Wishing You the Happiest of Birthdays!

Now, I hope you will agree… This card is just stunning! It is crisp, striking, classic, clean, all of the good feels…

I used the Peony Garden designer series paper in a very subdued pattern of peonies in gray and white. Then gave it a great punch with the basic black cardstock, on a white background. The only color I brought in is the very light petal pink. So pretty!

Card #3 ~ Thinking of You Makes My Day!

Another card featuring the Forever Greenery designer series paper. Gorgeous! If you love teal, turquoise and all the deep greenery colors, this is one you cannot pass by without admiring. I also added some rhinestones from last year’s Noble Peacock suite, unfortunately, they are no longer available. However, I think the Holiday Rhinestones #150457 and the Rhinestone Basic Jewels #144220 will work just as well here.

I hope you will make some cards with this versatile suite. I also hope my tutorial and photos have inspired you to make something beautiful!

Remember, it is not just making the cards, but we need to send them in the mail (or hand deliver when possible.) Now more than ever, we need to remind people that we are thinking of them, we celebrate them, love them and miss their faces!!

Just like I miss your face! Please leave me a comment if you are still here with me 🙂 and don’t forget to tag me in social if you are inspired by my cards, watch my YouTube video tutorial and give it a thumbs up if you enjoy.

I simply embossed the Terra Cotta Tile cardstock with the Basket Weave embossing folder, then cut a circle out of it (using the layering circle dies), sort of off to the right side, making a “window” where you can see through to the front of the card.

Then on the front of the card, I lined up my “thanks” stamp with this new window and stamped once with the Soft Suede ink pad. Then I stamped again with the Versamark and added the Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder before heat setting this greeting.

This is a terrific embossing technique for getting the exact color you want while also added a high gloss and raised image from the clear embossing powder.

The flowers were all stamped on the Whisper White Heavy cardstock with the Soft Suede ink. I then die cut the images and used our sponge daubers to just add a little color around them. I just dabbed on some Mango Melody, Terra Cotta Tile and a little Daffodil Delight.

The leaves were all stamped on the Whisper White Heavy cardstock with Pear Pizzazz Ink and die cut.

I then just put everything together. Added a layer of the Braided Burlap Trim, glued the flowers and leaves on top, then added 3 of the gorgeous Champagne Rhinestones to each of the small flowers.

This is definitely a multi-step card, however, it was fun and not difficult at all.

Beach Happy

Beach Happy Larris Livin Lite

Today I am sharing a card I made using the super fun Beach Happy stamp set from Stampin’ Up! I just adore this stamp set and thought I would even share it with Kylie’s International Blog Highlights for April 2019. You can find this stamp set in the 2019 Occasions Catalog pg 37.

The theme is “Encouragement” so I used the sentiment Wishing You Sunny Days, included in the Beach Happy set.

The colors I chose were Lovely Lipstick, Powder Pink, Soft Sea Foam with a tiny bit of Crumb Cake. I used some glycerin with my sponge daubers to blend the background using the Soft Sea Foam for the sky and some Crumb Cake for the beach sand.

I also pulled in the Seaside embossing folder for the look of waves on the layer of Soft Sea Foam cardstock.

So, what do you think?

If you like this note of encouragement as much as I do, please Vote for Me here in this awesome International Blog Highlight. If I receive enough votes I may be able to participate in Kylie’s upcoming Blog Hop!! Whoot Whoot!
