PPA 80 and Fun Flowers Video

Stampin up pals paper arts clearly for you video tutorial PPABadge A vintage look doesn't necessarily mean loads of layers.  I used Old Olive for stamping, spritzing and sponging to arrive at my version above. This week's Pals Paper Arts Challenge (PPA80) is all about dreaming up a vintage inspired card (or 3-D).  Check out the Design Team's vintage collection PLUS there's a blog candy giveaway this week for participants.

Stampin up pals paper arts fun flowers die big shot NEW VIDEO!  I originally saw this sweet and simple flower at the Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference last month.  Using the Fun Flower Bigz L Die (Occasions Mini Catalog) and the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine, it blooms before your eyes. 

Todays' WOW video exceeds a minute (my bad) but will show you how delightful it is to have the Fun Flowers die in your cardmaking toolbox. 



Thank you to those readers who offered suggestions for my video tutorials . . . I appreciate your honesty and incorporated much of your feedback into today's tutorial (but it's always a work in progress).

STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:

  • Stampin up pals paper arts clearly for you video tutorial collage The Clearly For You stamp set seems custom made for a card like this.  Lots of marvelous elements that blend together.
  • A sweet Trinket Key adds to the vintage feel.  Charming 🙂
  • I sponged Old Olive Ink on the edge of everything except the card base and sentiment (but only because I didn't think of it at the time–hee hee).
  • Grab your Crop-A-Dile to silently set the Metallic Eyelet.  I love the finished look an eyelet adds to the sentiment.

    8. Mary, Your card is beautiful-you always have such creative ideas that I do not see anywhere else.

    9. I go to your site almost every day but I don’t leave comments-so here’s my first: This video is much nicer than the other one you asked for comments on. I’m really glad the “labels” superimposed over the video are gone!! Thay were distracting to what you were actually doing. Love your site. You do a fabulous job!! The flowers are great!!

    12. Cute video Mary! You got my attention when you said “difficult”….I looked up quick to see you crush your flower….too funny! What a fabulous job you do!

    13. PERFECTION! My flower die is coming out of its wrapper, TODAY! Thanks for the inspiration, Mary!

    17. Beautiful card and what a great video. I love this monochromatic look … One thing I am always amazed by is that you use Very Vanilla (or naturals) vs. Whisper White.

      I have to try that!

      I think Clearly for You is on my next order. 🙂

    19. Another wonderful video…..you rock. Love this technique. I wasn’t interested in this Big Shot die until now. I just didn’t see the potential it brought until watching your video. You always present such a wonderful presentation. Hugs, Becky

    23. Great idea to use all of those vintage-y things in the squares! Love the flower – mine just arrived yesterday in my SAB order!

    24. I really like your card. I like the less is more concept so I think your card is perfect. Loved the video too.

    25. You knocked my socks off with this one, Mary! The clean, simple color scheme and what you did with those tiles is amazing!!

    26. Great video Mary! I love how the products scroll at the end. I love the card! I’m going to have to add the Big Shot die to my wish list now. 🙂 Many Blessings-Tana Conley http://tanaconley.blogspot.com

    36. Good morning, Mary: I love this card, it’s so beautiful. This just goes to show you that Valentine cards don’t always have to be red.
      Thank you for the tutorial. I ment to comment on the other one but I had to go next door to get my grandkids off to school. I’m glad you made those changes, the words in front of your hands were a little distracting.
      Three words about the weather up here…….2 below zero.
      Maria.

    37. I love the whole card, from the color to the layout to the flower. Yesterday when I saw your sneak I thought you made the flower from the Modern Label punch!!!
