In today's Weekly YouTube/Facebook Live I made two quick and easy floral cards featuring bundles from the Stampin' Up! 2022-2023 Annual Catalog.
If you like the video below and would like to leave a comment, make sure to click "Watch on YouTube". I do a door prize during the Live, but I also have a door prize for those that watch the recording. I would love to add everyone that watches into the drawing, but I have no way of knowing you're watching unless you leave a comment. You have until 11:00 am (ET) on Tuesday, August 23 to watch & leave a comment to be put into the drawing to receive these two cards. I'll draw the winner in next week's Live on Tuesday, August 23 @ 3 pm (ET).

The first card I made in the video features the Bottled Happiness Bundle from the annual catalog. The bundle includes the Bottled Happiness Stamp Set and Vintage Bottle Punch. Purchasing them together as a bundle saves you 10% off versus buying them separately.
Those of my local gals that came to my in-person May Stamp Camp have already seen and made these cards. I came across these cards the other day and realized that I never made a video for them. I thought I'd take care of that by making them both in my Live today.
Can you guess which Designer Series Paper (DSP) I used? Give up? It's from the Tea Boutique 6" x 6" DSP in the annual catalog. Normally, you think of bright colors with this paper, but I came up with a softer color combo with it.
You Can See All of the Designs in the Tea Boutique DSP in my Video Above.
Of course, I had to add some bling, so I added some Iridescent Rhinestones to the flower centers. They finished the card off beautifully.
The second card I made in the video features the Cottage Rose Bundle. Once again, purchasing the bundle (includes stamp set & Cottage Flowers Dies), saves you 10%. The DSP I used for this one is the Abigail Rose DSP. Both the DSP & bundle are in the Abigail Rose Suite in the annual catalog. I show the paper designs in this DSP in the video, too.
How about that pretty embossing on the Very Vanilla layer! I embossed it with the beautiful Quatrefoil Embossing Folder in the annual catalog. If you don't have this one yet, you really need to get it. It's gorgeous!
I teach a quick and easy way to color the flowers in my video, too. I really love the soft look it gives the flowers. So pretty!
Last, but not least, the bling. I used one of my favorite embellishments from the annual catalog called Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots. They come in Gold, Copper, & Bronze, and they have 2 sizes in each color. I used both sizes of the Bronze ones for my card.
Here's how I did the inside of both cards. Stamp an image in one corner, and you're done!
