Stampin' Up! Celebrate Sunflowers: Thanks a Bunch Card

Sunflowers are in full bloom and what better way to celebrate summer than with this beautiful card kit! I am featuring the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set this month for Stamp of the Month Club. I wanted to show off how you can use the stamps in different ways and without the need to always color in the line art image. For today's card, I stamped in Cinnamon Cider ink on colored cardstock and die cut the images with the coordinating dies.

I took the color combination from the Flowers for Every Season Designer Paper. I absolutely love this In Color combination: Bumblebee, Just Jade, and Cinnamon Cider! See More In Color Projects

Stampin' Creative Global Blog Hop: Mini Treats

Welcome to the Stampin’ Creative Global Blog Hop! Currently you are visiting Julie Davison from the middle of the United States (Central Illinois to be exact!). This month, my friends from around the world and I are sharing "Mini Treats" projects. I always feel challenged to create non-card projects, but the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog has some really fun new products that make it easy to dress up treats and small gifts!

For my project, I used one of two new tins in the mini catalog. I was inspired by the set of tins pictured on page 55. Stampin' Up! Concept Artists created three versions -- from simple to stunning! I wrapped cardstock around a Rectangle Tin and then added the banner and tag created with the new Beautiful Autumn bundle.

The August-December 2020 Mini Catalog starts next Tuesday, August 4th! You'll be able to get all of these new products when the catalog launches. Be sure to come back to visit my blog for more mini catalog ideas! I've been busy making up samples and can't wait to share them with you!


That's all from me today! Thank you for visiting! For now, it's time to carry on with the blog hop and see what other amazing "mini treats" that my Stampin' friends from around the world have created for you!

VIDEO: Birds & Branches Diorama Card Tutorial

This birthday card is extra special! It's a diorama card! The detailed die from the Birds & More dies is the perfect way to frame the stamped scene with the Birds & Branches images.

This fun fold card folds flat to mail in a regular envelope, but can be expanded to stand on it's own, creating a deep and dynamic scene.

10 July 2020 Summer Nights Paper Pumpkin Alternative Projects

10 July 2020 Summer Nights Paper Pumpkin Alternative Projects ~ www.juliedavison.com #stampinup #paperpumpkinIt's always a fun surprise when my Paper Pumpkin kit arrives in my mailbox! I look forward to this monthly creative escape! The July Kit, called Summer Nights, included 9 "Postcard-Style" cards and 9 Tealight bags to decorate your patio on a summer night! (Missed this kit? The refill it available in my Online Store!)

If you follow me, you know I love to challenge myself to use the pieces of each kit to create my own projects. All together, I made 26 cards from the Summer Nights Kit and Add-On (including some duplicates). Today, I'm going to share the cards I made with the main kit and tomorrow I'll share the projects that I created with the Add-On Cards.

For all the cards that I am sharing today, I only added some colored cardstock for card bases. The rest of the pieces came from the Summer Nights kit!

I cut the postcard into strips for the card above and glued the entire thing to the card below. The postcards are 4" x 5-1/4" -- the perfect size for the card front to adhere directly to a standard size card.
