Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Gallery

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Gallery

Comments 0 Comment

I have never created a bay window card, as I always thought they looked hard to make.  I was surprised at the ease of it after seeing a video by Lisa Bernard, Queen B Creations.  What caught my attention was that I needed a sympathy card, and the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper she was using, I thought, would make a great sympathy card. I ended up using a different pattern after looking through the pack of beautiful papers.

As you look at the photo above, you can see there are five panels with Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper.  There is a tiny 1/4″ that is hidden as it is tucked under the tree on the right side.  You will be able to see that better later on.  In giving the card cuts for this card, I numbered the panels 1-5, starting on the left side and going across.  As you cut the pieces, lay the design out as you see it, so when you adhere the pieces, you will not lose the flow of the design on the paper.

Cut the panel of Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper 4″ x 5-1/4″

Smoky Slate cardstock

  • card base — 4-1/4″ x 11″  score at 1/4″, 1-1/2″, 3-1/4″, 4-1/4″, 5-1/2″
  • 1 panel
    • Basic Black mat – 7/8” x 4-1/8”
    • Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper – ¾” x 4”
  • #2 panel
    • Basic Black mat – 1-1/8” x 4-1/8”
    • Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper – 1” x 4”
  • #3 panel
    • Basic Black mat – 1-5/8” x 4-1/8”
    • Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper – 1-1/2” x 4”
  • #4 panel
    • Repeat #2 panel for this panel
  • #5 panel
    • Repeat #1 panel for this panel  —  this panel is the stopper for the left edge of the card to tuck under to form the bay window.
  • Inside
    • Basic Black cardstock mat – 3-3/4” x 4-1/8”
    • Basic White cardstock — 3-1/4” x 4”

If you choose to make this card without mats, use the mat sizes to cut the designer series paper

Two panels of a different design of Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper are adhered to Basic Black mats, then adhered to the card base.       A stamp from Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender Stamp Set is used to stamp the sprigs of leaves on the inside panels in Memento Black ink.  Sentiments from Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Stamp Set is stamped on the larger inside panel.

The Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder takes center stage on this card as it seems to stand out.  A piece of  Basic White cardstock is embossed with the embossing folder, and Memento Black ink is swiped over the embossing, making the embossing pop.

This is an easy card to create. There are few card cuts, but then there is fussy cutting.  Many people dislike fussy cutting, which I consider one of the things learned in kindergarten. However, since there was no kindergarten when I went to school, I must have learned it from my grandmother.

Card Cuts

  • Basic Black cardstock
    • card base — 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4
    • large die cut — 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
  • Basic White cardstock
    • embossed panel — 4″ x 5-1/4″ Country Side Corners Die
    • inside panel — 4″ x 5-1/4″
    • small die cut label — 4″ x 4″  Country Side Corners Die
  • Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper 
    • fussy cut flowers

Two labels are die cut using Country Side Corner Dies.  The larger one is from Basic Black cardstock, and the other is from Basic White cardstock.  The Basic White one adheres to the Basic Black using Multipurpose Glue.  It is then popped on the card front over the embossed panel.  Arrange the flowers fussy cut from Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper the way you like, then using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue, adhere to the black and white labels.

Using the gold thread make several loops to go under the greeting.  I stamp two or three pages of the Thinking Of You greeting at once, so I forget which stamp set this is from.  

Pressed Flower Motifs gems are popped around the card front.

A panel of Basic White cardstock gets fussy cut flowers from Lovely Garden Designer Paper adhered to the left upper corner and the lower right corner.  The remaining part of the panel is left blank for a handwritten note or a sentiment of choice later.

A Basic White envelope gets a panel of Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using  Multipurpose Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden

Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden

Comments 0 Comment

It is amazing what taking a photo of a card will do to the color.  The flowers from Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden Stamp Set are colored with a Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends.  This looks blue or gray to me now.  I also used Stampin’ Up! Blooming Phrases Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Love & Strength Stamp Set. — 2-7/8″ cuts for this card are

  • Basic White cardstock
    • card base —  score at 4-1/4″  Measure from the outside edge of the Basic White cardstock in to 1-1/4″. Cut from the score line to the bottom edge.  Do this on both sides of the card.
    • inside panel — 3′ x 4″
    • flowers 4″ x 4″
  • Gorgeous Grape cardstock
    • base sides — 1-1/8″ x 4-1/8″
    • base center — 2-7/8″ x 3-7/8″
    • inside base -2-7/8″ x 3-7/8″
    • inside top sides — 1-1/8″ x 4-1/8″  embossed with Glass & Gardens Embossing Folder (cut 2)
    • inside base sides — 1-1/8″ x 4-1/8″ (cut 2)
  • Lost Lagoon cardstock
    • inside base sides 1″ x 4″ (cut 2)
  • Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper
    • card base sides outside — 1″ x 4″ (cut 2)
    • card base sides inside — 7/8″ x 3-7/8″ (cut 2)
    • envelope flap — 2-1/4″ x 6″
  • Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper
    • 2 flowers fussy cut for inside
  • Window Sheet
  • card front window — 3″ x 4″  adhered with Tear N’ Tape

Stamp in Memento Black ink the flowers from Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden Stamp Set. Color the flowers using Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends.  Pop Stampin’ Dimensionals on the side of the flower that will be over the card side piece.  You do not want to put Stampin’ Dimensionals on the entire flower, as this will cause the dimensionals to show on the inside when you open the card.

This is how the card looks when you open it.  The top outside pieces are embossed with Glass & Garden Embossing Folder, and a White stamp pad is swiped over the flowers to give a white color.  A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Blooming Phrases Stamp Set is stamped in Memento Black ink on a scrap of Basic White cardstock, then adhered at the bottom of the inside panel.  The bottom two outside panels get two mats, one of Gorgeous Grape, the other Lost Lagoon.  The Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper is adhered over the Lost Lagoon mat.  Lift the Thinking of You piece to find out what is underneath.

The flowers at the top are fussy cut from Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper and then adhered at the top.  A flower from Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper is fussy cut and adhered at the bottom of the Basic White sentiment panel.  The two sentiments from Stampin’ Up! Love & Strength Stamp Set is stamped in Memento Black ink on Basic White cardstock. One is fussy cut and popped at the top between the two flowers, the other is stamped at the top of the Basic White piece and adhered to the card base over the Gorgeous Grape mat.

A Basic White envelope gets a panel of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using  Multipurpose Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Floral Impressions

Stampin’ Up! Floral Impressions

Comments 0 Comment

Happy Sunday, everyone.  I hope everyone is having a relaxing and fun Sunday doing whatever their heart desires.  To those who have to work on Sunday, thank you.  Today, in Georgia, we are enjoying a partly sunny day, which is much better than the rain we’ve had for the past two weeks.

This is a step fun fold card.  They can be easy to make.  Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom Dies are used in creating the card.  We had a stand-alone die set a few years ago that created beautiful cards. I will put a link below for that card.

Step card cuts

  • Strawberry Slush cardstock
    • card base – 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” score at 3”, 6”, and 7”
    • center step – 3” x 6” score at 4-1/2”
  • Basic White cardstock
    • card base mat — 2-3/4” x 5-1/4”
    • card base step mat — ¾” x 5”
    • center step mat – 2-3/4” x 4”
    • inside panel — 2-1/2″ x 5-1/4″
    • oval — 2-3/4″ x 3-3/4″
  • Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper
    • card base – 2-1/2” x 5”
    • card base step mat – ½” x 4-3/4”
    • center step mat – 2-1/2” x 3-3/4”
    • oval card front — 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
  1. Add the 2-3/4″ x 5-1/4″ Basic White mat to the card base.  Add the 2-3/4″ x 4″ Basic White mat to the center step. Add the 3/4″ x 5″ Basic White strip to the card base step.
  2. Next, add the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper to the Basic White mats.
  3. Attach the long portion of the center step to the card front using adhesive of choice, I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
  4. Attach the short end to the back of the card, putting glue only on the bottom of the short end.  If you put it all over the short end, you will not be able to open your card.
  5. Stamp a greeting in Memento Black ink on the Basic White oval using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Comforting Thoughts Stamp Set.
  6. Looking at the above card, arrange the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper die-cut flowers around the Basic White oval.
  7. Adhere a 2-1/2″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White to the inside of the card base.
  8. Add one of the Stampin’ Up! die-cut flowers to the lower corner.
  9. A Basic White envelope gets a panel of Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
