Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Mood — Thinking Of You

Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Mood — Thinking Of You

Comments 17 comments

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Mood Stamp Set and Dies along with Wildflower Designs and Sketched Butterfly Stamp Sets.  After I had this card made I realized I had used Poetic Expressions Designer Series Paper instead of Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper.

Challenges:

Can You Handle The Pressure (CYHTP) Challenge

Ellibelle’s Corner: I Spy With My Little Eye Challenge … Something Magical 

Card Cuts

  • Misty Moonlight cardstock
    • card base — 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ (this is a landscape card)
  • Basic White cardstock
    • embossed panel card front — 4″ x 5-1/4″
    • inside panel — 4″ x 8-1/4″ scored at 5-1/4″ and 6-3/4″
    • magnolia — 4-1/4″ x 8″
  • Poetic Expressions Designer Series Paper 
    • piece across card front — 2-1/8″ x 5″

The card base is Misty Moonlight card stock.   Cut a panel of Basic White cardstock, adhere to the card fron with two glue dots so it can be removed after die cutting the opening for the greeting.  Cut a panel of Poetic Expression Designer Series Paper adhering over the Basic White panel.  Die cut an opening in the card front by placing a die from Thoughtful Expression Dies over the Poetic Expression panel.  You will be cutting through three layers.  Using the circle that is die cut front the card front, stamp a greeting using a stamp from Stampin’ Up!  Sketched Butterflies Stamp Set.

Once die cut, remove the panels carefully from each other, so the Basic White panel can be embossed using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.  After embossing, adhere the Poetic Expressions panel to the embossed panel again, this time using Multipurpose Liquid Glue or adhesive of choice.  Adhere the Basic White embossed panel to the card front making sure to align the openings evenly.

Stamp the magnolia image along with the image of the magnolia bud and small flower in Smoky Slate ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock.  Color the images using Balmy Blue, Bubble Bath, Granny Apple, and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends.  Die cut the large magnolia image  when die cutting the magnolia, small magnolia, and the magnolia bud. 

Stamp a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs Stamp Set using Night Of Navy ink.  Adhere the Magnolia bud in the lower corner, see photo above.  Adhere the panel to the inside of the card base.

Close the card and adhere the greeting in the circle, making sure to only place adhesive on a portion of the circle so you won’t glue your card closed.  See the photo above this one for how the sentiment circle looks when the card is opened.  You can see only a portion of the card has been adhered to the inside panel.

Adhere a panel of Poetic Express Designer Series Paper to a Basic White envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions

Comments 2 comments

I have a fun card today to share.  It is quick and easy, even if it does look difficult.  I could not believe how quick I had it finished and I need quick and easy.  It is a combination of Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions Stamp Set and the September 2024 Paper Pumpkin.  I also used a die from Spotlight On Nature Dies to die cut my circle and a piece of Sweet Days Of Autumn Designer Series Paper.

The card base is Pecan Pie. A focal panel is added by adhering a panel of a card from the September Paper Pumpkin.  A piece of Sweet Days Of Autumn Designer Series Paper is added at the bottom of the panel.  A circle is then die cut using a die from Spotlight On Nature Dies.

 Cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock 5-1/4″ x 8-1/2″.  Score at 4″ and 6-1/4″. Adhere the  4″ section to the inside of card base.  You can see in the above photo how the piece is adhered.  The circle that you die cut from the card front is place back in the opening you can see above how it is adhered to the panel.  The card is closed when you adhere the circle so you will know exactly where it is to have the adhesive put.

Decorate the card front using elements from the September Paper Pumpkin.  Stamp a greeting in Cajun Craze ink on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using one of the stamps from the September Paper Pumpkin.  Die cut the greeting using a die from Deckled Circle Dies.  Pop Blueberry Bushel gems on the card front using gems from Tinsel Gems Four Pack.

Stamp a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions Stamp Set in Cajun Craze ink on the Very Vanilla panel.  Stamp the wheat image in the corner of the panel.

One of the envelopes fromt the Paper Pumpkin Kit is used as the envelope, no need to decorate one.

I am happy you stop  by today.  I hope you take the time to linger and look at my other blog posts and cards and that you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day. My hope and wish are that you wilbe inspired to create amazing creations yourself. Feel free to CAS(E) any card. Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me. Have a blessed day!

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions — Thinking Of You

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions — Thinking Of You

Comments 11 comments

I am finally back to blogging after having a bout with my back and could do nothing.  As the title of a book I once read says, “I Ain’t  Well But I Sure Am Better!”  My husband has been so sweet to help me up and down and even cut the pieces for this card the way I showed him.    His creativity is the one thing that has remained, he never misses a note when he plays music and can still draw whatever I ask. We are blessed.

 

The  card today is a faux step, which is an easy, easy card to create, but it has taken me two days because of my back.  Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions, Layering Leaves, and Beach Day Stamp Set are used in this creation.  Layering Leaves and Beach Day have become my go to sets for greetings and sentiments.  They always seem to fit what I am looking to say to the person I am sending the card.

Challenges:

Pammie’s Inky Pinkies Challenge  

Creative Creases Challenge  

These are the card cuts for the card.

  • Gorgeous Grape cardstock
    • card base 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 1″, 2″, and 6-1/2″
    • small card for top — 3″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 3″
  • Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper
    • large mat for backgound on step  — 4″ x 4-1/4″
    • step — 3/4″ x 4″
  • Basic White cardstock
    • inside sentiment & back panels  — 4″ x 4-1/4″
    • art piece panel on card front — 2-3/4″ x 5-1/4″

Fold on the score lines of the card base to create the step.  Burnish well so the card will stand well.  Fold and burnish the small card for the front.  

Adhere the Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper to the background of the step and to the step.  The Designer Series Paper on the step is the reverse side of the main background piece.  Adhere the little card over the card base (see photo) using adhesive of choice.

On the 2-3/4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock, stamp a flower image from Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions Stamp Set in Memento Black ink.  Also, stamp the single flower from the same set in the right corner of both the 4″ x 4-1/4″ Basic White cardstock pieces.

Stamp a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Stamp Set about 3/4 down the Basic White piece leaving room for the flowers to be stamped. (see photo)

Color the flowers using Bubble Bath, Highland Heather, and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.  Die cut the images using dies from Thoughtful Expressions Dies.  Place the cluster of flowers at the top of the Basic White piece so you can tell where to stamp the little flowers from Cherrful Daisies Stamp Set in Bubble Bath ink for the flowers and Old Olive ink for the leaves.  

After stamping the flowers and leaves place the cluster of flowers in the middle using Stampin’ Dimensionals for adhesive.

Stamp a sentiment in Memento Black ink using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Beach Day Stamp Set.

To cover the portion of the front panel that is adhered to the card back, adhere a piece of Basic White cardstock that has a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Beach Day Stamp Set stamped in Memento Black ink.  Adhere to the card back using adhesive of your choice.

A Basic White envelope gets a piece of Subtles 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
