Today, I’m sharing one of the cards we made during my monthly in-person classes in Mesa, Arizona, with Stampin’ Up!’s Lovely Arrangements Bundle. I shared a quick sponging technique using one of the die cuts. Do you see the one below with the pattern?
I cut a piece of Thick Basic White Cardstock to 2 3/4 x 3 1/4 and die cut with the patterned piece. I then placed the cardstock on my card base and sponged on Secret Sea ink with a sponge dauber. Basically, I made a stencil, and it creates a really fun background.
Measurements and Details
Crumb Cake cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
Sponge the background using the above directions using the stencil. I applied the ink in the upper left corner and bottom right.
Secret Sea cardstock measuring 3 1/2 x 2 1/2, die cut with the multi-circle die cut shape
Flowers stamped in Secret Sea and die cut with coordinating dies
Sentiment stamped in Secret Sea and die cut with coordinating die
Secret Sea 3/8-inch Bordered Open Weave Ribbon
Moody Palette Glossy Dots
I do love this bundle for its variety of sentiments and its unique die cuts. Check out another card here.
I hope you enjoyed today’s card. Please let me know if you have questions about this DIY project or any others.
Thanks,
Kim Quade, Stampin’ Up! demonstrator in Mesa, Arizona

This week I’ve been playing with the Diagonal Joy Fold fun fold. I love that I can use different Stampin’ Up! papers and stamp sets to create this fun fold. Some of the other cards include the Lovely Arrangements Bundle and the Easter Joy Specialty Paper.

Here’s the card partially open:
