Simple Stampin With Shel: CASEing Tuesday Challenge #506

 


This is my take on this week's CASE-ing Tuesday Sketches.  
Check out page 18 of the Mini Catalog to see a sample card made with this sketch.  


I went a little rogue and added another layer and changed the shape of the focal image and added some embellishments.  

I used Elements of Text, Spotlight on Nature dies, Memorable Blooms, Everyday Happiness, Lost Lagoon Ribbon, Basic White, Smoky Slate and Lost Lagoon card stock.

Pyramid Arrow Card featuring Mixed Media Florals...


 Today I have a card to share with you that is NOT what I would call simple.  It is a bit fussy, but not overly difficult. But...it is worth the effort!  

It is called a Pyramid Arrow Fold.  


How cool is this freestanding card!  

Here is a side view: 



I chose the AMAZING Mixed Florals Bundle for my card today.  The DSP is the GORGEOUS Everyday Happiness DSP. 

I was poking around online and found a YouTube tutorial that I followed to make my card. 

I am not going to write a tutorial for this card, as you will need to watch the video to be successful. (ask me how I know this-haha)

Here is the link to that video:

Simple Stamping With Shel- Mixed Media Florals....


Today's card features Mixed Media Florals Stamp from the Online Exclusives and the coordinating Mixed Media Floral DSP.  Here is a look at those products: 




 

And here is my card: 


I love how this GORGEOUS DSP pops against the Boho Blue and Basic Black.  I chose the marker colors from the colors in the DSP so that it all worked well together.

Note: there is a mistake in the tutorial below.  It is NOT Old Olive blends....I used Dark Lemon Lime Twist and then colored over it again with Dark Granny Apple green to get the Garden Green color that matches the DSP. 

Here is a FREE tutorial if you wish to make this card yourself:

#GDP489 Mixed Florals & Storybook Life...

 


This is my take on this week's Global Design Project Challenge.
I added strips of the three colors and embossed it with the Plaid embossing folder.

The colored images are from the Mixed Florals, and the greeting is from Storybook Life.
This week's challenge was using the color combination of Bubble Bath, Soft Seafoam and Lemon Lolly

SIMPLE STAMPING WITH SHEL- BIRTHDAY FUN WITH ARCHED WISHES AND PATTERN OF FRIENDSHIP BUNDLE....

 


Today I am sharing two cards with you that feature new products!  

Both of the products are Online Exclusives...meaning they are not available in any catalog and are available online only while supplies last. 

To check out what Online Exclusives are available right now, go here: 

https://www.stampinup.ca/categories/shop-products/featured-products/online-exclusives

Here are the products: 




This is the fabulous Arched Wishes stamp set....it is one of those sets that coordinate with another bundle.  Here is a look at the coordinating bundle: 


Ok...now on to my cards.  I was in need of a birthday card for our dear friend Peter, so I grabbed these products and came up with a couple of cards....similar yet different: 


Here they are side by side....at first glance it just looks like they are the same but one for a guy and one for a gal.  But take a closer look: 

This first one has a narrower greeting strip and the background was embossed once with the die.


This second one has a wider greeting strip and was double embossed with the die- first horizontally then rotated and embossed vertically!


I recommend all of these products because of:

1. coordination

2. versatility

3.  GREAT  greetings

4.  I use mine ALL THE  TIME! If you use it a lot I believe it is a great investment for my craft room.
