Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine

Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine

The card I am sharing is  created using Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Hooray For Surprises stamp set,  Deckled Circle Dies, and Most Adored Designer Series Paper (a Sale-a-Bration item free with a qualified purchase).

This is a Fun Fold card called a Twisted Step Card.  It may look complicated but it is an easy one to create.  This is a CAS of one of Lisa Curcio’s cards.  The middle piece that is usually straight on a regular step card is twisted a bit to give it a slant.  The bee is from Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine stamp set and is stamped in Crushed Curry ink and Memento Black ink on a piece of Basic White card stock.  The wings are stamped in Bubble Bath ink and brushed with Balmy Blue ink using a Blending Brush.  The 

  The sentiment is also from the same stamp set and is stamped in Memento Black ink on a scrap of Basic White cardstock.  The greeting is cut into pieces using paper snips. The one piece is colored using a Real Red Stampin’ Blends Marker.  A jar of honey is fussy cut from a piece of the Bee Mine Designer Series Paper and popped on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

This is how the card looks from a side view.

 

The inside panel of the card gets a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Hooray For Surprises stamp set stamped in Memento Black ink on a Basic White panel.  It is matted on a panel of Real Red card stock.  Bees are fussy cut from a panel of Bee Mine Designer Series Paper and adhered to the sentiment panel.

A medium Basic White envelope get a piece of Bee Mine Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Glue.

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

 

Welcome! It that time, the 2nd Tuesday of the month  you have been waiting for with excitement, a fun team blog hop from Amy’s Inkin’ Krew.   The theme for this month is “Birthday”. You are in for a treat seeing all the talent these ladies present to you. Sit back with your favorite beverage and enjoy.  You will see cards that will  inspire you to get creative as you jump from blog to blog.

The card I am sharing today for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop is created using Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies stamp set and Dies, along with Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions stamp set.  There is a diagram and card cuts at the end of the post showing how to cut and score.  My card is a CAS of Connie Stewart’s card.

  1. Score and fold on the score lines in an accordion style.  Using a pencil make a mark 1-1/4″ down from the top of the card on the left side.  Cut from the pencil mark up to the 3″ score line.  You can see the diagram at the bottom. There is a red line showing where to cut.
  2. Adhere the  Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper to the Boho Blue cardstock mats.  I found it easier to start with the largest triangle to adhere to the card base.  Placing adhesive only on the left edge of the triangle and at the bottom.  You want to leave the top open for the little card or gift card. 
  3. On the 2nd largest triangle place adhesive on the longest side of the triangle and adhere, you can see in the photo how it is adhered.  I placed the triangle on the middle section before adding adhesive and made a tiny pencil mark so I would know how far to place the adhesive on the back of the triangle. 
  4. Repeat this step for the small triangle that is in front.
  5. On a piece of Basic White cardstock stamp in Boho Blue ink the large daisy from Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies stamp set.  Stamp the center of the daisy using Copper Clay ink. Using the matching die from the Cheerful Daisies dies, die cut the daisy. 
  6. 2023-2025 In Color Dots are popped around the card front and onto the little Basic White card.
  7. In Boho Blue ink, stamp a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies stamp set on the top of the little Basic White card. 
  8. Choose a daisy image from the stamp set and stamp the daisy in Boho Blue ink, stamp the daisy center in Copper Clay ink, and last stamp the stem and leaves for the daisy in Wild Wheat ink.
  9. On the inside of the little Basic White card, stamp in Boho Blue ink a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions stamp set.
  10. In the lower right corner of the card stamp in Boho Blue ink a flower image from Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions stamp set.
  11. A Basic White envelope gets a piece of the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Products Used In Creating This Card

 

 

Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet

Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet

This card was created using Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set from the Annual Catalog.  There are still many great stamps in there that we need to use because April is fast approaching and many will be gone.  I used the Softly Sophisticated 3D Embossing Folder and  Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper.

 

I am entering Try A Sketch On Tuesday Challenge for this card.

My card base is Gorgeous Grape cardstock  with a panel of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper matted on a panel of Crumb Cake. A different pattern of the Designer Series Paper is cut in three strips and matted first on a Basic White cardstock mat, then a Gorgeous Grape cardstock mat.  They are arranged across the card front.

A strip of Real Red cardstock is stamped with a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage stamp set, the piece is flagged and adhered across the card front.  Hearts are stamped in Real Red and Gorgeous Grape inks on Basic White cardstock.  They are punched using the Country Bouquet Punch.  A Basic White circle is die cut from Basic White cardstock using a die from Stylish Shape Dies.  The hearts are arranged on the circle.  The circle is popped over the Real Red strip using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Three 2023-2024 In Color Dots were colored using a Real Red Stampin’ Blends.  They look more Cherry Cobbler, guess that’s from coloring over the already colored dot.

A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage stamp set in Gorgeous Grape and Real Red inks.  Two hearts are adhered on the bottom of the panel that are  stamped in the same colored.

Three hearts  are stamped on the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Lifetime of Love

Stampin’ Up! Lifetime of Love

I used Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Lifetime Of Love stamp set.  I had used two dies from the Lifetime Of Love Dies before but these dies in the picture I have not used before.  Also, the stamp for the sentiment has never been used before.

I am joining the NBUS Challenge as I have never used some of the dies and stamps that I used in creating this card.

I am not giving directions for this card at the moment as I seem to have been having problems with my eyes for days and it is hard to see the screen very well.  If anyone would like to have the directions let me know and I will get them to you when I can see better.  This is a CAS of Sandy Hancock’s card.  You can get instructions from her YouTube.

This is how the card looks opened.

This is the card with the envelope.  A different pattern of the Forever Love Designer Series Paper is used for the envelope flap.
