Stampin’ Up! Brilliant Wings Birthday Card

August 10, 2022 custom

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Brilliant Wings Dies, Sun Print Designer Series Paper, and Fern 3D Embossing Folder.

Since my card is butterflies, I thought the Just Us Girls Challenge would be a good one for today. Their theme is Butterflies.

My card base is Basic White card stock with a panel of the same embossed using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. The embossed panel is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. A panel of Sun Prints Designer Series Paper is cut and then adhered over the embossed panel level a border on the right edge.

Butterflies are cropped from Basic White card stock using dies from the Brilliant Wings Dies. The butterflies are popped on the card front. Rhinestone Basic Jewels colored with Night of Navy Stampin’ Blends Markers are popped on each butterfly. A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips stamp set is stamped in Night of Navy ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock, fussy cut, and popped on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A panel of the Sun Prints Designer Series Paper is adhered to the inside panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose stamp set is stamped in Night of Navy ink. The panel is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Sun Prints Designer Series Paper applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose

August 5, 2022 custom

The Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose stamp set makes a fabulous card with their beautiful flowers. I also use Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper.

My challenge for today is with Addicted to Stamps and More — their theme for this challenge is Die Cuts and Stencils.

Another of my challenges is the Tic Tac Toe Challenge. I choose Sparkle (the bling), Twine (that ties the card together), and flowers (the focal panel on card front).

The card base is Merry Merlot card stock with a panel of the same embossed with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder and used as the background panel for the card front.

Cut a panel of Merry Merlot card stock 5-/2″ x 8-1/2″.
Score at 1-1/4″ and 4-1/2″
Turn to the 8-1/2″ side
From the edge of the card stock come over 1/2″.
Cut from the 1-1/4″ score line to the 4-1/2″ score line.
Make the 1-1/4″ as a mountain fold and the 4-1/2″ as a valley fold.

Panels of Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper are cut and adhered to the panels as you can see in the photo. A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments stamp set is stamped in Polished Pink ink on a piece of Basic White card stock then fussy cut and adhered to the middle panel of the card. Flowers from the Wonderful World Designer Series Paper is fussy cut and adhered to a Basic White card stock cropped panel. The panel is adhered to the Awash In Beauty Designer Series panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A panel of Basic White card stock is cropped using one of the square dies from the Stylish Shapes Dies. It is stenciled using a stencil (which maybe retired, I do not know the name), I used Balmy Blue ink and a Blender Brush to color the stencil. A rose from Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose stamp set is stamped on a piece of Watercolor paper and watercolored using Polish Pink, Garden Green inks, and a Water Painter. The yellow flowers are colored using a So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Marker. The rose is cropped using a die from the Cottage Rose Dies and popped onto the stenciled piece.

Before embossing the Merry Merlot card stock panel, I stamped a greeting from Stampin’ Up! By My Side stamp set in Versa Mark ink, sprinkled White Embossing powder over it, and heat embossed the greeting. The embossed Merry Merlot card stock panel is adhered to the 1-1/4″ flap using Tear and Tape Adhesive. The art panel is then adhered to the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment panel is stamped in Merry Merlot ink with a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose stamp set. A rose is also stamped in the corner and watercolored using Polish Pink, Garden Green inks, and a Water Painter. The yellow flowers are colored using a So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Marker. A 1/4″ strip of Awash In Beauty Designer Series Paper is adhered at the bottom using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The panel is then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Rings of Love Thinking of You

August 4, 2022 custom

The card I am sharing today is another that the Designer Series Paper does all the work. I used the Rings of Love Designer Series Paper.

My challenge for the day is with the Fusion Card Challenge — their theme is Wine and Cheese plus a sketch challenge, you can choose one or both. I am doing the sketch one but I suppose you could include the Wine and Cheese as I used one of the round woodcuts from the Rings of Love Designer Series Paper.

My card base is Soft Suede card stock. I cut a panel of Sweet Sorbet card stock as the mat for the Rings of Love Designer Series Paper panel. The panels are adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A panel with a different design is cut and matted on a piece of the Sweet Sorbet card stock. This narrow panel is adhered to the right side of the card front.

Sprigs and twigs are fussy cut from another panel of the Rings of Love Designer Series Paper and arranged around the log cut that is also from a different panel of the Rings of Love Designer Series Paper. A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a piece of Basic White card stock and cropped using a die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. It is popped on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Three Rhinestone Basic Jewels are colored using a Sweet Sorbet Dark Stampin’ Blends Marker, one is popped on the greeting label and the other two are popped around the card front. Two butterflies from the Designer Series Paper are fussy cut and popped on the card front.

The inside panel is blank so I did not make a picture of it. I know I usually decorate the page, but this time I left it blank.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Rings of Love Designer Series Paper applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Card cuts are at the end of this post.

Stampin’ Up! Rustic Harvest Autumn Wishes

August 3, 2022 custom

The card I am sharing today is created using Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper. The greeting is from Stampin’ Up! Fond of Autumn stamp set. The embossing folder is the Timbers 3D Embossing Folder.

My challenge for today is with the NBUS Challenge. The item I am using that has never been used before is the Rustic Harvest DSP.

I started with a card base of Merry Merlot card stock. I embossed a panel of the same using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the panel to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I also embossed a panel of Basic White card stock with the same embossing folder and adhered it over the Merry Merlot embossed panel.

I fussy cut the pumpkins, squash, leaves, and acorns. I colored the leaves and acorns using a Crumb Cake, Pumpkin Pie, and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the Twigs and Sprigs Embossing Folder and embossed a panel of Basic White card stock, cropping the pieces after stamping. This may be one of those embossing folders and dies that cut and emboss at the same time but I did not think of that until I had finished the process.

I arranged all the fussy cut pieces on the embossed Basic White panel, took a picture so I would remember how it was arranged. I adhered the pieces down using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a double loop bow and popped it on the card. I popped three sequins from a Paper Pumpkin I believe on the card front.

A panel of Basic White gets pumpkins adhered in the lower right corner then it is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Forest Friends

August 1, 2022 custom

This is the card I am sharing today. It is a bridge fold without a bridge, so does that make it a bridgeless fold? I used Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper to create. The Designer Series Paper did all the work. The greeting and sentiment are from Stampin’ Up! Sweet Song Birds stamp set. The greeting is stamped in Soft Suede ink just below the bird, so I feel this greeting is perfect for this card.

My challenge for today is with Festive Friday Challenge — I choose the owl, texture, brown, and woodland as my choice.

This is the way the card looks opened up all the way. I started with a 5-1/2″ x 10″ Soft Suede card stock card base. I scored the Soft Suede card stock on each end at 1-1/2″ and 3″. I used Calypso Coral for the mats. You can see the card cuts at the end of the post. I fussy cut an owl on a stump from a piece of the Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper and popped it in the corner using a Stampin’ Dimensional. Three Brushed Brass Butterflies are popped around the card also.

This is the back side of the card with the sentiment. I fussy cut the tree from a panel of the Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper and adhered to the Basic White Panel. I stamped the sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Sweet Songbirds stamp set in Soft Suede ink. I didn’t stamp Happy Birthday as I want to write that myself as I will also write a note.

This is the way the card looks when it is closed. It will fit in a regular envelope, no need for a special size or to make one. It may seem that way as the size is 5-1/2″ x 10″.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper applied to envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

This is a birthday card for my great grandson who has a birthday on Sunday. His room is done in all forest animals so I think this card is perfect for him.
