Stampin’ Up! Lighthouse Point– Sending Love & Light

March 18, 2023 admin

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Lighthouse Point stamp set, Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail stamp set, Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder, Stitched Rectangle Dies, and By The Bay Designer Series Paper.

I am entering the Never-Before-Used Schtuff because I have not used Stampin’ Up! Lighthouse Point stamp set and I need to use it before it is retired.

Inspiration for my design comes from Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge, so I am entering my card for the challenge.

My card base is Night of Navy card stock with a panel of By The Bay Designer Series Paper as a background panel. A piece of By The Bay Designer Series Paper and Basic White card stock is die cut using a die from Stitched Rectangle Dies.

The panel of Basic White card stock that was die cut using a die from Stitched Rectangle Dies is also embossed using Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder after the lighthouse and greeting are stamped on the piece. The lighthouse is stamped in Balmy Blue and Soft Suede ink. A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Lighthouse Point stamp set is stamped vertically in Soft Suede ink on the Basic White piece. The light shining from the lighthouse is stamped in So Saffron ink.

Two strips of By The Bay Designer Series Paper is cut and adhered across the piece on the card front. By adhering the way I did it appears there are three strips which the designed called for but the middle strip is part of the background panel design, you can see the full panel on the inside as the same design panel is used on the inside.

A panel of By The Bay Designer Series Paper is used for the inside sentiment panel. To me this panel looks like sky, ocean, a bit of sandy beach and then more ocean. It makes a perfect panel for stamping in Soft Suede ink a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail stamp set. The birds from Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail stamp set are stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink.

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

Stampin’ Up! Two Tone Flora – Thinking of You

March 16, 2023 admin

Happy St. Paddy’s Day Everyone. I hope you have had a blessed day!

The card I am sharing today is a box fun fold. I used Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora stamp set, Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Thistle stamp set, one of the embossing folders from Basics 3D Embossing Folders and Fancy Flora 6′ x 6″ Designer Series Paper.

I am entering Use Your Stuff Challenge, their theme for this challenge is paper strips.

The greeting and inside sentiment are from Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Thistle stamp set. I stamped both in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a scrap of the Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper.

I stamped three flowers and leaves in different colors, Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, and Fresh Fressia, Pear Pizzazz ink. I popped the flowers and leaves around the Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Picture 1 Put tear & tape on each end where the white is. Fold in half.

Picture 2 Adhere to the card base (see placement in photo above). Once you have one side of the box adhered, you then put the little box inside. I found it easier to put the little box inside before I adhered the other side of the larger box. Adhere it the same way you adhere the larger box.

Picture 3 & 4 shows how the box looks from overhead and a straight on view.

I adhered two pieces of Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper to the box before it was adhered to the card base. Flowers and leaves from Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora stamp set are stamped in Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Fresh Freesia and Pear Pizzazz inks. They are arranged in the box and adhered with Glue Dots. A sentiment Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Thistle stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a piece of Fancy Floral Designer Series Paper. The inside of this card is a case of one Lisa Bernard created.

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

Stampin’ Up! Playing In The Rain — Hey There!

March 14, 2023 admin

This was a fun card to create. This is just a friendly card wishing a friend a happy day. I used Rain or Shine Designer Series Paper, February 2023 Paper Pumpkin, Sunshine & Smiles, Raindrops Embossing Folder, and Stampin’ Up! Playing In The Rain stamp set and Playing In The Rain Dies to create this card.

I used a card base from the Sunshine & Smiles Paper Pumpkin Kit. I embossed a panel of Balmy Blue card stock using the Raindrops Embossing Folder, adhering to the inside panel so the raindrops would show through the opening. A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a piece of Basic White card stock and cropped using a die from Sentiment Silhouettes Dies. The greeting is popped in the upper corner using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a gray panel behind the opening on the card front. I cropped a bridge from Crumb Cake card stock using a die from Playing In The Rain Dies. I popped this across the opening on the card front. The cute Tommy Turtle is posted on one end of the bridge Roscoe Rabbit is posted on the other end. They are so happy to be out in the sunshine once again, now that Spring is here.

Tommy Turtle has picked his Mom a flower from the flowers on the hill that appears in the open window. A spring rain shower has just passed leaving a cloud and puddle behind that Roscoe Rabbit decided it would be fun to jump in. Roscoe Rabbit thought we need a bit of bling so he looked in the Sunshine & Smiles Paper Pumpkin and found just what he was looking for, taking a few in his hand, he threw them into the air. One of the gems landed at Tommy Turtle’s foot, one landed on the greeting and the other was coming back to land near him.

A piece of Old Olive card stock is cut to create a hill and embossed using one of the dies from Basic 3D Dies. I think this die gives the appearance of grace blowing in the wind. Freddie Frog and Charley Chick love the grass to play in. Charley Chick may decide to go pluck the centers out of the flowers on the hill, while Freddie Frog is thinking of joining Roscoe Rabbit in the puddle. They are singing Happy Spring, happy, happy everything. They found this sentiment on their Aunt Amy’s Pinterest when Happy Spring was popped in the search feature then came the task of finding the long-retired stamp set.

I used one of the envelopes from Sunshine & Smiles Paper Pumpkin Kit to go with this card.

Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms – i like you – Fun Fold

March 12, 2023 admin

This is an easy Fun Fold card that I am sharing with you today. It is created using Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms stamp set and Dies also, the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper. This is a card we made today during our Team Meeting today. Carol Buckalew, a team member, did the demonstrating of the card . She had sent instructions and card cuts so we would be ready to participate. During our team meeting each month, three team members will volunteer to share their card making with the team.

I am entering the Daisy Chain Challenge for this card as their theme is flowers and my card is full of flowers.

The card base is Flirty Flamingo card stock cut at 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″. The inside card is cut 2″ x 11″ from a piece of Flirty Flamingo card stock also. Score this piece at 2-3/4″, 5-1/2″, and 8-1/4″.

Cut three (3) pieces of Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″. One for the front of the card, I used one that has flowers on it, it makes a beautiful card. The two (2) pieces I cut for the inside is the Flirty Flamingo & Daffodil Delight Plaid. You will see it in the next photo.

Crop six (6) leaves using a panel of the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper. I used one of the Pretty Peacock panels. Crop three (3) small flowers and one (1) large flower from a Flirty Flamingo panel of the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper.

Cut a Basic White card stock strip 3/4″ x 5-1/2″. This is to stamp a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Flirty Flamingo ink on the strip and then adhere across the card front. On one end of the greeting strip arrange the flowers and leaves and adhere using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

This is the inside of the card with the panel on each end adhered down with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The fold in the middle is a mountain fold, the other two are valley folds. Before adhering to the card base, add the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper to three of the panels. On the first panel stamp a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink or Evening Evergreen ink, if you do not still have a Pretty Peacock stamp pad. (I believe Pretty Peacock ink will be one of the colors returning to us in May as Stampin’ Up! included it in the Designer Series Paper) then adhere to the first panel on the inside card, see photo above. Adhere two of the small flowers and leaves cropped from the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper to the two middle panels. Add another sentiment onto the Basic White piece which is the last panel.

Add Iridescent Pastel Gems to the card front.

I adhered a panel of Hello Irresistible Designer Series Pa per to the flap of a Basic White Medium Envelope.
