*Exclusivity to the video on YouTube will be 6 weeks, I then reserve the right to change to a public video. This will allow me to grow my YouTube online presence.

*I reserve the right to substitute items if absolutely necessary. This would be due to a shortage of items from Stampin’ Up!

*Per Stampin’ Up! Compliance I am unable to stamp and images in your kits. So Stamp Sets must be purchased if you wish to create your cards exactly like mine. Of course many times you can easily substitute your own stamps and inks etc. So feel free to purchase a smaller priced class or just PDF & Card Kits.

*For the Blueberry card. You will not be able to create this card without purchasing the FULL bundle due to the stamp set is a free Sale A Bration item. If you purchase a smaller priced option I can substitute the papers to make it work with the Sweet Strawberry stamp set.

Thank you for considering my classes. I just want to offer creativity even during the Pandemic. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. melaniestamps@yahoo.com I will be happy to assist you.

Happy Stampin’

Garden Wishes ~ Making 3D flowers w/ YouTube Tutorial

 

Garden Wishes Bundle!

By Stampin’ Up!

Hi Everyone,

I have a fun new project to share with all of you today. I have created an out door scene using the Garden Wishes Stamp & Die Bundle. Remember you do save 10% when both stamp & die (or punch) are purchased as a bundle. The bundle item number for this set is #156220

 

 

I love creating scenes but this one was actual inspired by a project in the Embellished box on page 9 of the Sale A Bration catalog. If you are asking yourself “What is Sale a Bration?” It is a 2 month celebration. We have a Sale a Bration catalog with items in it that you can earn for free. You can earn items with $50 (level 1) and/or $100 purchases (level 2). There is also a promotion for both hosting or purchasing $300+ at one time and a awesome deal (6 packs of free paper)  for signing up as a demonstrator (or just a happy shopper who wants the discount all for their purchases) hahaha Have questions? email me at melaniestamps@yahoo.com

Now lets look at some close up photos of today’s card. These flowers were so much fun to make. Make sure to watch the video to see how I made these.

The background is actually a piece of designer series paper from the Fine Art Floral. It makes for a perfect sky for my scene don’t you think?

Have a cheerful day! Melanie

2 Fun Fold Cards w/ YouTube Tutorial

 

I love Dragonflies too!!! Today I have a fun YouTube taking you step by step through the creating process. These are both very simple cards but the eye for detail make them so much fun for the recipient. Lets take a closer look…

 

The first tutorial teaches you how to make this unique multiple flip card. It has a front flap that gives you an extra area to stamp your sentiment or message. Then inside it still have room for a note. I love the tone on tone look. In the video I show you an extra tone on tone version that is also quite striking.

 

 

The second card is a simple Z Fold design using the exact same pack of 6×6″ Dandy Garden Paper. Such a variety of color combos in this pack of papers.

 

And don’t miss getting these Ladybug Trinkets from my online store. Aren’t they the most adorable embellishments ever? In my online class I include them in one of the options along with the glue dots to attach them securely. Want more details on my Online Class. Click HERE!

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you will click on the YouTube video and that you enjoy the tutorials. Don’t forget there is only 1 week left until sign ups close for my online class featuring this same Dragonfly Garden Bundle 🙂
