Are you in a crafting rut or maybe you bough the Floral Charm Suite and haven't used it yet...
In this video I walk you through 7 steps to get creatively unstuck using a suite from Stampin' Up! Today's suite: The Floral Charm Suite which gives off Autumn Vibes!
One easy fun fold - 12 Card Ideas - One Suite
STEP 1: Let the Color Palette Be Your Guide
STEP 2: Choose an Easy Fun Fold with Standard Card Size Measurements
STEP 3: Cut & Prep Your DSP, Die Cuts; Put all stamps on blocks, etc.
STEP 4: Glue DSP to Card Bases
STEP 5: Add the Fun Fold Die Cut to Card Front
STEP 6: Stamping Time (stamping, inking, shading, coloring)
STEP 7: Embellish (Die Cuts, Ribbon, Gem, Twine, etc)
This is essentially the steps of assembling a kit as well. I think kits and suites are very similiar in that the Stampin' Up! design team has created a color palette and theme and that's what guides this process.
Prepping and cutting makes ALL the difference when you are sitting down to create a set of cards, or you are feeling stuck creatively. By starting to cut the pieces in the colors of the palette it really helps to visualize how to assemble your card. By placing every stamp in the set on blocks you are much more likely to use them all, or to stamp some simple backgrounds in addition to your greetings.
Once you start stamping and assembling all of the prep work cutting die cuts ahead of time pays off as the cards start to come together more smoothly and before you know it you are out of your crafting rut and you have a set of 12 birthday or thank you cards to show for it featuring this beautiful floral charm suite!
I hope these steps help you out of your crafting rut! You will make someone's day when you send them these handmade cards! And that's what it is all about.
