SPLENDID THOUGHTS!

June 2, 2022

SPLENDID THOUGHTS! That seems like the perfect title for this blog post. I have struggled with my video editor for probably a month now. I have had trouble with the sound. First the ends of my words were cut off, lately there is sound and then none for 10 seconds or so and then sound again. It is really hard to watch an instruction video with the sound going out. You may get one measurement but not the other. I have tried several different things, but none of them were working right or they would work on one video and not the next.


I think I have finally found a video editor that will work. We will see. The one I used was easy once I figured out how to get started.


So today I have the instructions for the beautiful card that I made on Stampin' Tell Tuesday using the Splendid Thoughts Bundle. This stamp bundle has not been released yet to the general public. One of the benefits of being a demonstrator is that we are able to purchase products at a discount before they are released or attend special events. This set was released early for an Online Demonstrator Only event coming up in June.


I decided to play with it a little before hand and this is what I created.


Measurements:

Cut Basic White 11 x 4 1/4, score at 5 1/2
Cut (2) 5 x 3 3/4 Crumb Cake, one for the inside one for the front

Cut (2) 4 3/4 x 3 1/2 Basic White, one for the inside, the other you will cut the largest circle using the Stylish Styles, stamp greeting in Crumb Cake, adhere to the Crumb Cake, do not put adhesive near the bottom of the circle
Cut open image die with Vellum using dies in bundle, adhere to the crumb cake overlapping the Basic White at the top
Stamp two images in Tuxedo Black Momento, color with Crumb Cake and Soft Succulent light & dark, die cut using the dies in the bundle, tuck into the circle and adhere the Soft Succulent leaves to the Crumb Cake, use Dimensionals on the Crumb Cake image

Finish off with some of the beautiful Iridescent Pearls

Today I wanted to show you how you can used this fun stamp & die set and not use the Designer Series Paper. I love the coordinating Designer Series Paper but I think there are about a million posts on the interned showing how to use the DSP so I wanted to reach outside the box and use something else. I selected the wood grain DSP from Beautiful Gallery and I love the way it came out. Be sure to download the free Project Sheet below

This card uses the beautiful new Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection to create a fun Backbend Easel Card. This is one of the many Suites that are on sale during the month of June 2025.

For this card I started out with the beautiful 2025-27 In Color Strawberry Slush. I used the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape and die to cut the flowers. I added the beautiful Metallic Texture Rub Ons to add bling to the card. You will find all of these things in my Stampin' Up! store . Be sure to download the Free Project Sheet for all the measurements.

This sweet card uses the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape with the die to cut the flowers. I attached the tape to a piece of Basic White cardstock and die cut it using the coordinating die. This made for a bunch of beautiful flowers to attach to the front and inside of the card. The greeting is from Year of Flowers. I added the beautiful little Iridescent Pearls to the centers of the flowers . The background is embossed with Glass & Gardens Embossing Folder. You will find all these products listed below along with Free Project Sheet.

No, I am not stuck on this set of dies, however, this idea came to me through an indirect route and I of course had to change it up and do it a little differently. The Thankful Garden Bundle or the Pretty Floral Bundle could be used for this idea. Actually any set of die cut flowers would work. I used an 11 x 4 1/4 piece of Basic White for my card base so the card opens at the top instead of the side to create a beautiful and fun easel fold
