Fancy Flora Designer papers….is it really fancy? I don’t think so but it’s darn pretty.
I can imagine the artist at Stampin’ Up painting the images with a palette knife on canvas, creating the gorgeous texture images.
The colors are lovely, some muted and some bright and today I’m using it on 4 cards and hope you like them!
I’ll jump right to video! The 4 recipes with measurements are in a link under the video.
Just 3 little pieces of designer paper, 1″ x 3″ each, is all it takes sometimes to make a card more interesting!
I went back to an older bundle called Art Gallery for the stem silhouette. It can be changed out so easily to other sentiments.
Another design in the papers with a little gold splatter embossing!
I used Wink-Of-Stella to splatter and quickly add gold embossing powder to create the embossed spatter.
Gilded edges…..I haven’t done this in ages and I love it! Rub VersaMark ink pad along the edges,
dip in gold embossing powder and heat!
Bright and colorful butterflies! Cutting the delicate wings from the Fancy Flora paper adds such detail.
In my video I had 3 butterflies but they seemed crowded so I moved one to the inside instead.

I wish you could see this card in person….so shimmery!
This week I’m using Around the Bend, a bundle in the Stampin’ Up mini catalog.
I love curvy dies so I picked up this one right away!
This bundle is one of the few that is available in both Photopolymer stamps AND Rubber, same price of $52.
Personally I went with the photopolymer because the stamps being clear are easier to line up along the curves.
Watch the descriptions if you are purchasing this bundle so you get the one you prefer!
Hi all!
All of the paper, ribbon and accessories shares have been mailed and those who participated should have them by now!
IF you don’t, please email me right away as I have tracking on them. Thanks to all who joined in!
If I had to choose between cats or dogs, I’d choose dogs but only because I’ve never really owned a cat. I’ve roommates years ago with cats and our family has always owned dogs. (I do have a faint memory of a cat when I was little named Fat Head)
This year a feral black cat has come to our back door and I named him Cricket. I can’t get close to him but this coming week I’ll try to catch him and have him taken to the vet, checked out, neutered and let him go. It’s the responsible thing to do altho I’m not looking forward to it and Cricket may never show up at my door again after!
Anyway, that’s why cats have been on my mind AND this stamp set is CUTE!!
LOVE CATS #160410 $21
This week is using the cats for a Waterfall card and Easy treat pouch !
Waterfall cards have been around AGES! Easy to make and people still love to flip them over and over!

Here is the link I mentioned for my original mitered corner video
This week I chose to work with the Favored Flowers Sale a Bration paper, which is free with a $50 ordering
during January and February:
AND the Sending Support stamp set, which is also a freebie during Sale a Bration!
If you squint, you can see the mitered floral corner, which is only 2 pieces of 1″ designer paper.
It saves paper, it’s easy and looks great! It all started with this card swap I received years ago from Chris Smith: I loved the simplicity, the white space and the little bit of striped designer paper. I kept her swap all these years because I loved the layout. Here’s another one with multiple offset layers that I created with the Rain or Shine Designer paper: I hope you give it a try!
It’s a new year AND 2 new catalogs, too!
The new Stampin’ Up mini catalog is LIVE today and it is also Sale a Bration time,
