This was the card I created this week on my Facebook Live. You can find all my facebook live recordings on my I’d Rather Bee Stampin’ page.
This card features the wonderful Potted Geranium Bundle – we all agreed that geraniums make us feel happy – they are so cheerful! The beauty of this bundle of course is that you can make your geraniums in your favorite color!

Here is the recording of the Facebook Live: Whether you are watching the replay or the recording via my youtube channel, please leave a comment and subscribe! Your name will be entered for a drawing of the projects I create – winners get a project mailed to them!

I used the Split Textures dies – they are “stand alone” dies from our new Annual Catalog, meaning they don’t coordinate with any particular stamp set- instead they coordinate with many stamp sets! I thought this die looked like a trellis – with pots of geraniums in front ! With just a few stamps, and the coordinating Geranium dies, this card goes together quickly – the stamp set is a two step one – and I explain that in the recording of the Facebook Live! Enjoy!

This was the card I created this week on my Facebook Live. You can find all my facebook live recordings on my I’d Rather Bee Stampin’ page. This features the Nature’s Prints bundle – one that is so beautiful! I have created several cards with this set, using the Sun Prints Designer Series Paper – in beautiful blues and gray tones – but I wanted to switch it up for today’s Live and use black and white.

Here is the recording of the Facebook Live: Whether you are watching the replay or the recording via my youtube channel, please leave a comment and subscribe! Your name will be entered for a drawing of the projects I create – winners get a project mailed to them!

I used a Thick Basic White card base and then added a layer of vellum – that I had embossed with the Fern Embossing Folder. I placed all of the various die cuts – the wreath, the “sprigs” and the stamped images (also die cut) on top of the vellum. I used glue dots to hold all of the die cuts together to create a focal point – and positioned them to the back of the word label with dimensionals. I also added a small piece of gingham ribbon – also in black and white!

To finish the card, I added quite a few Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels to add some shimmer. I added a small strip of the Perfectly Penciled DSP to the inside of the card and also on the flap of an envelope. I love this DSP – and it seemed to coordinate perfectly with the color scheme I used for my card.
Thanks for stopping by today!

I am going to be doing Facebook Lives every day this week showcasing some of my favorite products in our new Annual Catalog- and on Tuesday I did a Facebook Live on my I’d Rather Bee Stampin’ page. I featured the brand new Sweet Songbirds Bundle with new 2022-2024 In Colors – Orchid Oasis and Sweet Sorbet!
Here is the recording of the Facebook Live: Whether you are watching the replay or the recording via my youtube channel, please leave a comment and subscribe! Your name will be entered for a drawing of the projects I create – winners get a project mailed to them!

This is a great bundle – it includes a punch for the bird shown on the bottom of my card – and don’t we all love a good punch? The smaller bird on the top of the card was fussy cut, but it wasn’t too bad to do – and the wing is part of the punch.

I used the Picture This Dies to create the background – the DSP is from the 2022-2024 In Color Designer Series Paper stack – this pattern/color is the new Orchid Oasis – I think this could be my favorite new In Color – although I reserve the right to change my mind on that!
Sweet little card and easy to assemble! My kind of card!

Today’s free tutorial is all about simplicity and I love this card. Collages always appeal to me and this set of neutral tones has a soft, yet earthy feel. The Ranunculus Romance Stamp Set is great on it’s own (simplistic) but if you want to step it up, buy the bundle and save 10% (over purchasing the stamp set and dies individually).


MEASUREMENTS:
- Crumb Cake: 8 ½” x 5 ½”; score at 4 ¼”
- Early Espresso: 5 ¼” x 4”
- Very Vanilla: 5” x 3 ¾”
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Fold the Crumb Cake cardstock on score line to form card base.
- Stamp the images in Crumb Cake and Soft Suede in a collage pattern on the Very Vanilla.
- Stamp the sentiment in Early Espresso.
- Glue the stamped piece to Early Espresso layer and glue both to the card base.
- Add Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots.
- Add Wink of Stella to the ranunculus flower.
