Facebook Live Tutorial – Potted Geraniums Birthday Card

Facebook Live Tutorial – Potted Geraniums Birthday Card

create-a-geranium-card-potted geranium bundle-Laura Milligan- Demonstrator-Earn Free Product

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!

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!

Facebook Live Tutorial – Nature’s Prints Thank You Card

Facebook Live Tutorial – Nature’s Prints Thank You Card

Create this card with the Nature's Prints Bundle by Stampin' UP! Card by Laura Milligan Id Rather Bee Stampin

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.

Create this card with the Nature's Prints Bundle by Stampin' UP! Card by Laura Milligan Id Rather Bee Stampin Live Tutorial

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!

Wild & Sweet Stamp Set – Facebook Live Tutorial

Wild & Sweet Stamp Set – Facebook Live Tutorial

Wild & Sweet Koala Hello You Card by Laura Milligan, Id Rather Bee Stampin

The Wild and Sweet stamp set is  – well, sweet! I love the animals that are portrayed in the stamps.   This card today was inspired by a swap that I received from another demonstrator- I am not sure who that demonstrator is – if it was you, please let me know and I’ll be happy to give you credit! I took the swap card I received and changed up a few components –  I used the Deckled Edge Rectangle dies – they are new and are a great addition to our basic shapes of dies.  I think these will be a “go to” for our card making.

Also used is the new Fern embossing folder – and it’s embossed on vellum!  Such a fun look!  The greenery was punched from the Bough Punch – I punched it once in each color – Parakeet Party and Evening Evergreen, and used one of each color to frame the stamped image.  The word is stamped on a small circle cropped from the new Stylish Shapes dies – another set of dies that I have already used a ton!

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.

It’s Time for a Cup of Tea Card Trio – Facebook Live Tutorial

It’s Time for a Cup of Tea Card Trio – Facebook Live Tutorial

Thank You For Your Friendship Time for Tea Card by Laura Milligan, I'd Rather Bee Stampin' Facebook Live Tutorial

158670

I did a Facebook Live yesterday and featured the Cup of Tea Suite of products – I know everyone is loving this suite! The card I made today is very quick, easy to duplicate yet so cute!  Sometimes we need something that is easy to make – this card fits the bill!  You can find all my facebook live recordings on my  I’d Rather Bee Stampin’ page.

Laura Milligan YouTube Thumbnail Cup of Tea Card Trio

Measurements for this card are:

Thick Basic White Card Base – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″

DSP –  4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″  of your choice of any pattern in the Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper Stack –  for the card below, I selected the Sweet Sorbel floral pattern – and used the same color for the tea cup – stamping the cup stamp onto Sweet Sorbet cardstock.

Thank You For Your Friendship Time for Tea Card by Laura Milligan, I'd Rather Bee Stampin' - Facebook Live Tutorial

The leaves/stems and flowers were stamped on a Basic White panel measuring 2 1/2″ x 3 3/4″.

I used a small piece of Basic White to stamp the little sentiment and cropped it with the little coordinating die from the bundle.

Which is your favorite?  The Sweet Sorbet, the Starry Sky or the Orchid Oasis version?  I think they are all pretty cute!

A Nature’s Print Fun Fold Facebook Live!

A Nature’s Print Fun Fold Facebook Live!

create-a-fun fold card-Nature's Prints-Stampin' Up!-Laura Milligan-Demonstrator

I did a Facebook Live yesterday and featured the Nature’s Prints Bundle and the NEW Orchid Oasis In Color. You can find all my facebook live recordings on my  I’d Rather Bee Stampin’ page.

This is a quick but fun card to make and wow am I loving that Orchid Oasis color! It’s always fun to switch up a card – and try a different layout at times.

This card goes together quickly – I started with a panel of Orchid Oasis, cut 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″. This is my card base.

I cut two pieces of the In Color Designer Series paper to 1 1/2″ x 4″, and placed these on the card front.

Next panel is Orchid Oasis – cut 3″  x 4 3/4″ and scored along the longer side at 1/2″.   I folded this and attached is to the card base – centering it.  I adhered a piece of DSP measuring 2 3/4″ x 4 to the front of this panel.

The next panel I added was a piece of Basic White measuring 2 7/8″ x 4.  I attached this below the Orchid Oasis folded panel.  This is where you would add a greeting and sign the card.

For the focal point of my card, I stamped the leafy spray and the words onto Basic White with Orchid Oasis ink and cropped them out with the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine.  I adhered them to the card front with dimensionals, adding some ribbon and matte dots for embellishment.   Such a fun layout – I hope you will give it a try!
