Getting Inky & Artsy With The New Happy Hibiscus

I’ve been itching to play with the new Happy Hibiscus Bundle (stamps, dies & embossing folder) that just released into the online store this month. I was inspired by some cards that were featured on Stampin’ Up! Facebook Page on November 7th and created a congrats card with fun inking and layering/texturing techniques.

A big thank you to Maheswari Rajaguru for creating and sharing those featured cards that inspired my design. (I loved the color combo and other elements she used in her Changing Leaves cards.)

I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating my artsy card with the Happy Hibiscus Bundle, the Bough Punch, Blending Brushes, Wink of Stella, glimmer papers, inks & cardstocks, and other coordinating Stampin’ Up!® products. 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.

This isn’t a typical “beginner’s style” card. But I take the time to share tips and techniques so that even those new to card making can learn and create.

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).
