Here is another playful card made with the Kite Delight stamp set in the 2022 January-June Stampin' Up! catalog.
I used a Blending Brush and Coastal Cabana ink to create a soft sky background. Then the kite tails were stamped using Black Memento ink and colored in with Blends markers. Each kit was stamped using the coordinating color of card stock - Highland Heather, Daffodil Delight and Coastal Cabana. They are fussy cut since there is not a set of dies to match. I don't mind this at all since they're easy to cut out.
This stamp set is NOT carrying over into the new catalog and will retire at the end of May. See it here:
I used the Pick a Banner punch on the Highland Heather greeting banner. The banner & kits are all popped up on Stampin' Dimensionals.
I also created two other cards during the video. See all three cards below:

Yesterday was my weekly Facebook Live where I shared 3 projects featuring the Kite Delight stamp set in the 2022 January-June mini catalog. This cute stamp set is NOT coming back in the new Stampin' Up! Annual catalog. See it here.
I added all of the upcoming new In Colors to this card!
The clouds are heat embossed on the Balmy Blue CS using White embossing powder. The clouds are an outline stamp but I wanted to fill them in to look 'white'. So I used my Chalk Marker to color them in and love the effect! I am so sad to report that this neat Chalk Marker was on the retiring list and is already sold out. You could use White craft ink or White chalk pastels and color it in too.
The kite is stamped on White CS using Black Memento ink and colored in with the NEW In Color Blends markers. I fussy cut it and added to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
I stamped the sun image on a scrap of Daffodil Delight CS using Daffodil Delight ink and fussy cut it. There is not a punch or dies to coordinate with this stamp set, but I didn't mind fussy cutting the kites or sun. Easy to do!
Here's a link to the video. Or click on the photo below to watch how to make this card and two more using the Kite Delight stamp set!

Today is the second group of incredible swap cards created by my Flowerbug's Team. You can see the first set here.
The first card was made by Karen. She used the Oceanfront stamp set.
She used the Horizon, Stitched Rectangle & Tasteful Label dies. Sadly the Horizon & Tasteful Label dies are not returning in the upcoming Annual Catalog.
Her colors include Just Jade (retiring), Crumb Cake & Balmy Blue. She also textured the large White layer with the Bark 3D embossing folder. Just lovely!
Next is a colorful card made by Candace. She used a brand new (sneak peak) stamp set from the upcoming 2022-23 Stampin' Up! annual catalog. It's called Uniquely Artistic.
She fussy cut the pretty flowers and popped them up on her stamped and blended background. A beautiful floral scene!
See all of those colored, curvy layers behind the Stitched Rectangle frame? Those are all cut using a curved 'hill' die-cut and layered over each other. Wow!
She also colored her tree die-cuts using Blends markers. Incredibly real looking!
Wasn't I right? I told you they would be incredible!
I'll share more of our Flowerbug's fabulous swap cards tomorrow.

Our Flowerbug's Team swap theme in February was animal fun fold cards. Here are two sweet cards using the Mischievous Mice stamp set. It's one of our hostess sets you can earn free with an order over $150. Stampin' Rewards are those you can use towards free & discounted products like this choice. You can find them at the end of each catalog.
Sharon made this amazing card using Soft Succulent as her card base.
the designer paper is from Harvest Meadow which was in the 2021 Holiday catalog. Don't you love these cute images? She fussy cut the balloon and cheese out.
Next is a card Annette made using Daffodil Delight and Soft Suede. Her card is a standard gatefold; scoring a 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base at 2 1/8" from each end.
She used our Hive 3D embossing folder, blending Daffodil ink over it. Great effect she achieved! She colored the image in with Blends markers. Love that shadow she created!
And look at the sweet inside addition!

We made retro style birthday cards at my February card clubs. Look at this:
It's perfect for a guy or even a young adult. The Simply Marbelous designer series paperfrom our Sale-a-Bration catalog is absolutely amazing! It does look a little psychedelic doesn't it?!
I covered the entire card front with it; no border at all. I rarely do this but I wanted this unique & special paper to shine! It has 6 different color combinations in it; all monochromatic too! Everyone had a choice of their favorite color.
The birthday greeting is from the Slim Sayings stamp set seen here. We stamped it in Versamark ink and heat embossed with Black embossing powder.
*There's a video to see how this card was created. You can watch it here.
The car images were stamped with Black Memento ink on a Basic White Stitched rectangle die-cut and then colored in with our Stampin' Up! Blends markers.
I trimmed the balloon image off of the convertible so it could be added to any of the vehicles. See the Driving By stamp set here; it's free with any $50 order through February.
The cute stitched banner is cut from more Simply Marbelous DSP using the Triangle dies.
After the card was assembled we added a finishing tough to the windows - a bit of Shimmery Crystal Effects for some shine.
Here's the video below:

Do you ever use card sketches to get inspired? I love them! I find most of them on Pinterest.
We use card sketches & color combos on my Flowerbug's Team group for challenges & inspiration. It's so fun to see the different projects everyone comes up with. This is the sketch we're using now:
I used it as inspiration to create this card with the Honeybee Home bundle and the Simply Marbelous designer series paper.
It's such an easy sketch to use. Some are using card stock, others designer paper and one used ribbon!
My card is Basic Bray with Bumblebee accents. Gray & yellow are beautiful together. In fact one of my bathrooms has these colors!
The Simply Marbelous designer paper was my color inspiration. This 6 X 6" DSP is free with a $50 Stampin' Up! order through the month of February; or while supplies last. See it here.
On the video I share my tips on placing these 1/4" strips. It's a little tricky but entirely doable!
The greeting and flower die are placed on a circle die-cut from the Beautiful Shapes dies seen here.
See this Honeybee Home bundle here. The stamp set has pretty images & greetings and the dies work great as silhouettes!

I sure had fun playing with the Summer Shadow dies this week. I planned to make 3 cards and ended up with 6! I had to make myself stop, which rarely happens. I started out with this amazing card inspired by one made by Beth McCullough.
I die-cut a bunch of flowers & leaves from Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green Coastal Cabana and Magenta Madness and added them to Black CS that I embossed with the Hello & Thank you embossing folders. The greeting from Shaded Summer is on a die-cut from the Messages die. See the pink & black gingham ribbon? It's originally Black & White but I colored it with my Magenta blends marker.
As you can see in these eye catching cards you can do a lot with these dies!
I also made this neat card with a paper piecing technique. I inserted petals into the outline flower and secured them with tape. The black & White DSP behind the fie-cuts is from the Pattern Party DSP. It's a huge pack of 48 sheets - a hostess choice with orders over $150 seen here or on page 171 of the annual catalog.
The colors are Coastal Cabana, Magenta Madness, Black, White & Mango Melody.
The Summer Shadow dies are free during Sale-a-Bration (this promo ends Sept 30th). Now is a great time to stock up on essentials when you earn free products with your orders. Card stock, inks, In Colors, Blends markers, Designer Paper etc. Check these dies out here!
