Summer is my favorite season. And I’m sad to see the warm weather going away. So with my mind on the activities of a hot August afternoon at the lake, I put together a dragonfly birthday card using summer colors and images.
Then I made multiples of this card to send to those in my Stampers With ART group with September and October birthdays. I tend to make fall cards for Autumn birthdays. But I don’t think anyone will mind getting a little glimmering dragonfly card this year instead.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating this card with the Happiest Day Stamp Set, the So Swirly 3D Embossing Folder, inks with Blending Brushes and Daubers, the Modern Oval Punch, Festive Glimmer Paper, Stampin’ Blends Markers, Wink of Stella, and other coordinating products from Stampin’ Up!®. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for what I demonstrated. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel or tune into my events on my Facebook Page so you can get updates when I share and go live).
