Stampin’ Up! Merriest Moments Christmas Card

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Merriest Moments stamp set, a die from Scallop Contour Dies, Fern 3D Embossing Folder and DSP from Celebrate Everything DSP.

The inspiration for the design of my card today is from the Freshly Mades Sketches Challenge for this week.

I started with a card base of Basic White card stock. I embossed a panel of Basic White card stock using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. A band of Celebrate Everything DSP is adhered across the embossed panel.

I cropped two panels using a die from the Scalloped Contour Dies, one from Basic White card stock and another from Celebrate Everything DSP. Greenery from Stampin’ Up! Merriest Moments stamp set and cropped using dies from the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder. The two poinsettias are left over from last year. The two scalloped panels are adhered to the embossed panel and across the band of green.

The sentiment is stamped in Evening Evergreen ink on a panel of Basic White. The panel is framed with a green piece of DSP from Celebrate Everything DSP and the negative piece left from cropping the panel on the front frames the white panel.

A medium Basic White envelope gets DSP from Celebrate Everything DSP applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic

The card I am sharing today is a fun fold. I believe it is called a Double Z. You make a little card and a regular size card and they are adhered together. I like the way Susan Levasseur of WOW NOLA Creation says it, “marry them together”. I am going to miss her SU videos, and wish her well in her new venture.

The two cards are not put together until all the Designer Series Paper is adhered and the greeting and sentiment panels are in place. Texture Chic Designer Series Paper is adhered to the card panels. You can see from the picture above the panels that receive the DSP. Cuts for the DSP for each panel is at the end of this post. The front panel is stamped with leaves from Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic stamp set using Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent ink.

A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic stamp set is stamped in Evening Evergreen ink. The inside panel is also stamped with leaves and leaves are stamped and cropped using the Chic Dies. A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose stamp set is stamped in Evening Evergreen ink on the left corner of the panel. Rhinestone Basic Jewels colored with a Pool Party Stampin Blends Marker are popped around the sentiment.

A medium Basic White envelope gets DSP from Texture Chic DSP applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Hippest Hippos Love You A TON

This cute little card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Hippest Hippos stamp set. It is a card I have made for my great-granddaughter who is ill will COVID. I tried to dress the hippos the way a 6-year-old would like. I also used the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.

My challenge for today is the As You See It Challenge — Three To Get Ready.

My card base is Coastal Cabana card stock with a panel of the same embossed using the Painted Textured 3D Embossing Folder.

I stamped the hippos in Smoky Slate ink on Basic White card stock, cropped with the Hippo Dies, and colored using Stampin’ Blends Markers in Crumb Cake, Real Red, and Shaded Spruce. I cropped grass from Stampin’ Up! Horizon Dies (retired) from a scrap of a green DSP in my stash. I cropped the flowers, hearts, and umbrella from a piece of 2022-2024 Brights DSP. My boat and stage for the ballerina, the tub turned upside down are cropped from a piece of Early Espresso card stock. The glasses and the mast for the boat are cropped from a scrap of Basic Black card stock. All the elements are put together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals. Resin Hearts (retired) are popped around the embossed panel.

A greeting is stamped in Memento Black ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock, one end is flagged and it is popped over the mast to make a sail for the boat.

Sentiments from Stampin’ Up! Thought it Together and Wildlife Wonder stamp sets are stamped in Memento Black ink on a Basic White card stock panel and adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A medium Basic White envelope gets DSP from 2022-2024 Bright DSP is applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Cup of Tea

The card shared today is created using Stampin’ Up! Tea Boutique DSP, Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts stamp set, Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds stamp set and 2022-2023 In Color Designer Series Paper.

I am entering the challenge at the Creative Creases Challenge. It is always a fun fold.

This is how the card looks closed. The card base is Parakeet Party card stock. You can see the diagram of how the card base is cut at this link.

This is the belly band for the card. This was a request from a friend who requested a card for her friend’s 80’s birthday. She requested teacups and ballons be the theme. Dots from Glossy Dots Assortment are popped around the belly band.

Open the card and you find 2022-2023 In Color DSP and ballons. A birthday greeting created on the computer and cropped using a die from Stylish Shapes Dies is adhered to the middle panel. Another greeting is stamped and cropped using another die from the Stylish Shapes Dies, my friend brought this stamp set and I forgot to write the set down the name. Dots from Glossy Dots Assortment are popped around the greeting.

This is a combination of a Happy Birthday and Appreciation Card. The sentiments are from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds stamp set. Balloons are punched using a ballon punch from card stock and DSP.

A medium Basic White envelope gets DSP from Tea Boutique DSP applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Pretty Prints

The card I am sharing today is a combination of Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose stamp set for the sentiment, Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles for the greeting, Pretty Prints DSP for the background, and Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Print Dies for the wreath.

Inspiration for my card design is the challenge at the Global Design Project.

I decided to be different and let the Designer Series Paper be the card base. I used a panel of the Blackberry Bliss from Pretty Prints DSP as the base.

I adhered a panel of the Pretty Prints DSP to a Basic White card stock mat, then adhered them to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cropped two wreaths from Basic White card stock using the wreath die from Nature’s Print Dies. I adhered them together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, then popped the wreath on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I colored a few Pearl Basic Jewels with a Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blends Marker and popped them around the card front along with several white pearls. The greeting is from Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles stamp set and is stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock and cropped using a die from the Sending Dies.

A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose stamp set is stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink on a panel of Basic White card stock. A short piece of the Pretty Prints DSP is applied down the side of the panel.

A medium Basic White envelope gets DSP from Pretty Prints DSP applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

My card is a CAS of Terry Lynn Bright, a team member. I saw her card a week or so ago and knew I wanted to make one.
