Scenic Adventure

 

I really like this new Scenic Adventure Bundle from Stampin' Up! The stamps and dies are really fun and I just loved that line of trees die!  For this card I used Stampin' Up! Ink refills to paint ink on to watercolor paper. I wanted bright colors and choose Blueberry Bushel,  Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, Secret Sea and Shaded Spruce.  The new Secret Sea is a fun new dark neutral and it really made the other bright colors shine. 

I work at my local park district as a watercolor instructor and next week we are painting some fun watercolor Polaroids. I was working on the samples for that class when I was inspired to use the fun Scenic Adventure Dies to make layered paper scenes as mini Polaroid inspired cards.  I hope that look comes through. 

I have a full how to for this card on my YouTube Channel. 
 

Here are some samples from the Stampin' Up! site

Notes and Totes Bundle makes cute gift card holders or treat holders

 

The new Notes and Totes bundle makes the cutest little tote bags!  In my samples I used them to create a cute Gift Card Holder card and a 3D Tote bag to hold a gift card or chocolate or a number of other little treats! So fun!  

 

Here is a video how to for these projects. 

 

The dies are so fun. I love the parts to make a fence! You can use the fence to create a cute beach scene with the bag hanging from the fence, add some of the shells, and a water bottle. There is also a sunscreen tube, lotion for a spa day, cute scarf, and sunglasses.  Use the various trim to make different bags and add a pocket if you like. So many options.  Here are some samples from the catalog.

Sunrise Sailing Side Step Card

 

Hi Stampy Friends! Today I am showing another Side Step Card.   I made this last month for a Stampin' Up! event I went to. Whenever Stampin' Up! has an event, we always have swapping! This was my swap. I almost didn't show it because it is the same template that I used on a card I posted a few weeks ago. I found a couple unfinished card pieces when cleaning my desk, so I thought I would put them together, and since I was doing that, I might as well film it and post it!  It's an easy fun fold that really looks great.  

This stamp set is the new Sunrise Sailing set.  There are dies and an embossing folder! I love this set for summer, it will be great on some scrapbook pages of the lake in Door County, my families favorite vacation spot. 

As of today, the bundle is on back-order :( but it is scheduled to be back in stock very soon, May 28th if all goes well. 

Here are the dimensions for my version of the Side Step Card. 

The card base is a traditional 5 1/2 by 8 1/2.  I cut a slit in the center 2 3/4, starting at 1 inch from the bottom and going up to the 5 1/4 inch mark. 

From the right side, score from the center slit at 1 inch, 2 inch and 5 1/4 inch.  From the left side of the slit score at 4 1/4 inch.  Fold and use a bone folder to get it flat.  I find it easier to guide the folds how I want them by putting my left hand through the slit and then folding each side . See this in my video below. 

Here are a few more examples of this stamp set from the Online store.
