Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Journey — Thinking Of You

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Journey — Thinking Of You

The card I am sharing today is created using Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Coffee With Friends stamp set, Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes stamp set, Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse stamp set, and Spotlight On Nature Dies.  Don’t be shy about using more than one stamp set when creating a card.  You may see one part in one stamp set you like and another part in another stamp set.  I am probably well know for using greetings and sentiments from other stamp sets other than the one that features the focal part of the card front.  This is a card I saw of Susan Campfield’s.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:

Addicted To Stamps  — any occasion is the theme for this challenge

Krafty Chicks Challenge  — anything goes

Creative Creases Challenge  — Always Fun Folds

 

Start with a card base of Misty Moonlight.  Cut a panel of Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper, adhering to the card front.  Using a die from Spotlight on Nature Dies cut a circle in the card front.  You may need to run the it through the Emboss, Cut Machine twice as you are cutting through both cardstock and designer series paper.  After cutting the circle, adhere the Misty Moonlight die cut piece to the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.   Lay it aside for the moment.

Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock 5-1/4″ x 8-1/2″. Score the piece at 4″ and 6-1/4″.  This is for the inside piece.  Stamp in Misty Moonlight ink a sentiment on the left panel of the piece using a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse stamp set.  Stamp the stem of flowers in Misty Moonlight ink in the lower right corner of the panel using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes stamp set.  On the middle panel adhere the piece of Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper left when you cut the panel for the card front.  Fold, burnishing well and adhere the panel to the card base using adhesive of your choice, I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

With the card closed, adhere the circle you put aside earlier to the opening in the card front.  Stamp a greeting in Misty Moonlight ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Coffee With Friends stamp set.  Die cut the greeting using a die from Spotlight On Nature Dies.  Pop the greeting on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals on the lower portion of the circle.  Pop gems from Glossy Dots Assortment around the card front.

Be sure to only adhere the right side of the circle in the opening, you do not want to glue your card close and unable to open.

A Basic White envelope gets a panel of Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Sending Love

Stampin’ Up! Sending Love

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Sending Love dies along with Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes dies.  I also used  Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper.

I am entering my card in the challenge at:

Alphabet Challenge  —  E for Embossing

Can You Handle The Challenge   

I started by adhering a panel of Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper that has been embossed using Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder to a Smokey Slate card base.  I used Granny Apple Green and Old Olive card stock to cut the grass and shrubs.  I adhered them at the bottom of the card front over the Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. 

 I die cut two stems of flowers using a die from Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes Dies.  I colored the flowers using Lemon Lolly, Bubble Bath, and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends.  I die cut a mailbox from a piece of Smoky Slate cardstock stamping MAIL on the side of the mailbox in Memento Black ink, the flag from Real Red cardstock and the mailbox post from Early Espresso, and Basic White for the envelope that fits into the mailbox.  All the pieces are arranged over the Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper as you can see in the photo above.  White sequins are popped around the card front.  The mailbox is adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the Basic White envelope is put together using Glue Dots.

A stem of flowers is die cut using the same die as the one used to die the flowers on the card front.  The same colors are also used to color the flowers.  After coloring, the stem of flowers is adhered in the lower right corner using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  The panel is then adhered to the card base.  No sentiment is added at this time as I do not know what kind of card I will need.

A Basic White envelope gets a panel of Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
