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.

The response to the Ukraine Relief Tutorial Bundle has been amazing!

So far I have sold over 40 Tutorial Bundles, so our match will be $600. Can you help? Your $15 purchase turns into a $30 donation for Ukraine.
