Fern & Flora Bundle

Posted on by

If you love botanical designs and versatile stamping, then you’re going to love the Fern & Flora Bundle from Stampin’ Up!.

I recently featured this beautiful bundle during my Facebook Live on Friday, 5 June, and had so much fun creating with it. The elegant foliage images and coordinating dies make it easy to create stunning handmade cards for a variety of occasions.

Whether you’re creating birthday cards, thank you cards, sympathy cards or simply adding to your card stash, this Bundle offers endless creative possibilities.

Why I Love this Collection

One of the things I enjoy most about this bundle is its versatility. The detailed botanical images can be used on their own for simple and elegant designs or layered together to create more detailed projects.

The nature-inspired elements work beautifully with a wide range of colour combinations, making it easy to create cards for every season and style.

This bundle is perfect for:

  • Everyday cards
  • Birthday cards
  • Thinking of You cards
  • Sympathy cards
  • Masculine card designs
  • Nature-inspired projects

You can watch my Facebook Live replay above where I share tips, techniques and project ideas using the Fern & Flora Bundle.

Creative Tips for Using the Fern & Flora Bundle

When working with botanical stamps and dies, I love experimenting with different colour palettes. Soft greens create a calming and elegant look, while brighter colours can give your projects a fresh and modern feel.

The dies also add beautiful dimension to your cards and work wonderfully layered over designer series paper, embossing folders and blended backgrounds.

If you have the Fern & Flora Bundle in your collection, I’d love to hear what you’ve created with it.

Happy crafting,

Sharon

Grungy Gears & Textures – Card 3

Posted on by

On my Facebook live recently I wanted to include the dies from the Gears & Textures Bundle and so I created these Grungy Gears & Textures cards. I had so much fun creating these cards. The second card I’m sharing was just created on the fly without any real idea in mind except to use the die cuts I had pre-prepared.

How I created the card

I pulled out my blending brushes, some Nature Walk designer series paper and got to work on creating the card below. Roughing up the edges of the DSP and adding some ink. Sometimes I do things a bit backwards and I certainly did that on this card and glued the DSP onto the left side of the vanilla card before I started stamping. I started stamping the images and didn’t worry if it went over the dsp as well. I just kept going. Adding on the die cuts and also stamping the sentiment onto another piece of DSP and roughing that up as well plus of course adding some ink.

Once I finished stamping the background, adding the die cuts, I added some linen thread and then the sentiment with dimensionals to pop them up. The Secret Sea card base I added some ink around the edges of it and then glued the card front onto the card base. Stamping a piece of vanilla card for the insert and then I was done.

Gathering Moments Christmas

Posted on by

Last week I decided to play with the Gathering Moments Stamp set like I did the week before on my Facebook Live. However this time I wanted to create some Christmas cards instead. I decided to do similar to last week creating a 4 Square project. Stamping in the shape of a cross on an A4 Card stock piece and then chopped it down from there. I then started creating with some blues as well.

What do you think? Which card do you like the best?
