Flowering Tulips is a gorgeous bundle. I wasn’t sure how to put the tulips together, so I resisted using it.

Here’s the key that makes this set simple. There are three different die cut tulips you can make with this set. The dies on the left all have score lines to fold. They all use the small die cut for the center. The top two also need the mid size die. It all makes sense now, right? If using cardstock, the tulips look great with another color sponge daubered on. I found a new “Tulip” Designer Series Paper (DSP) to use. It’s called Waves of the Ocean and I love the way the tulips look made with this DSP! Just because the artists at Stampin’ Up design the products to be used one way, doesn’t mean we can’t find other creative ways to use them. It’s fun for me to look at a DSP, stamp or die and think of alternative uses. 🙂 Here’s a Live Video showing how to make this card. You can fast forward to the card making. 🙂 My husband, Steve, and I do live videos every Tuesday at 7pm Central. We would love to have you join us! You can subscribe to my You Tube channel here.

March Customer Thank You Cards

I am participating in Bruno and Kylie’s World Wide Training Group again this year and am excited to be part of their monthly Blog Hop.   The Blog Hop focuses on the Thank You cards that we are sending to our customers. 

Stampin Up Daisy thank you card designed by demo Beth McCullough.  Shop 24/7 and see more fun fold and 3-D gift ideas at https://stampingmom.com/march-customer-thank-you-cards-2 #stampingmom #cute&simple4u #stampinup #bright&happy

When making customer thank you cards, it’s fun to come up with something that shows a new idea, but yet it’s easy to mass produce. I was playing around on my Tuesday 7pm Central Live video on March 1, 2022 with the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks. See the video here. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel here.) I used the Blending Brush and Highland Heather and this flower mask. I didn’t put ink everywhere and thought it looked pretty awesome. I tried adding a Basic White Daisy and knew that wasn’t the answer. After the Live video was over, I kept working on it and came up with this card. I punched out the Daffodil Daisy twice and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (SCEM) with the Hammered Metal 3D embossing folder. The Highland Heather center is embossed the Timeworn Type embossing folder. The Amazing Thanks dies are my favorite for thank you cards.

Ukraine Relief Fundraising Tutorial Bundle

In response to the ongoing crisis, we made a Ukraine Fundraising Card Making Tutorial Bundle. All the proceeds from the sale of these tutorials will be donated to the Red Cross as a contribution from the crafting community to the work they are carrying out with the people of Ukraine.

Who Are we? The Creativity Abounds Design Team is a group of 13 Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world. We come together every month to create a Tutorial Bundle with step by step directions and measurements in both inches and metric. We also hold a monthly blog hop and regular online Stamp Camps. The theme for the projects is blue/yellow or sunflowers. I know they are all going to inspire you in your card making – and of course you will be able to change the color of the projects to suit other occasions.

Stampin’ Up’s Statement of the Heart reads:

To LOVE what we do and SHARE what we love. As we help others enjoy creativity and worthwhile accomplishments In this we MAKE A Difference. The Creativity Abounds Design Team hope that in sharing what we love with you, together we might make a small difference.

This month, the theme is Cute Critters. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Stampin Up has so many Cute Critters in the catalog that it was hard to decide which one to use. Hey Birthday Chick is a favorite of mine and I love the coordinating dies.

I used Gorgeous Grape, Magenta Madness, Daffodil Delight and Basic White. The critters are colored with Stampin’ Blends and popped up.
