Stampin’ Up! Full of Charm

Stampin’ Up! Full of Charm

Comments 0 Comment

This card is created using elements from the June 2025 Paper Pumpkin Full of Charm, Stampin’ Up! Charming Day Stamp Set, and Stampin’ Up! You Are Remarkable Stamp Set 

Card Cuts

  • Pretty Peacock cardstock
    • card base — 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″
  • Early Espresso cardstock
    • mat — 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″
  • Crumb Cake cardstock
    • art piece — 4″ x 5-1/4″
  • Basic White cardstock
    • inside panel — 4″ x 5-1/4″

The Greeting is from Stampin’ Up! You Are Remarkable Stamp Set.  It is stamped in Early Espresso ink.  To create the flowers on the left side, one of the elements of the Paper Pumpkin Kit is used as a stencil to create the flowers with Early Espresso ink.  The ribbon is a length of ribbon cut into 4 strips with Linen Thread added, then wrapped around the card and tied in a knot.  

Used Crumb Cake ink to sponge around the corners, but it looks more greenish than brown.  Sentiment is from Stampin’ Up! Charming Day Stamp Set.

A Basic White envelope gets flowers from Stampin’ Up! Charming Day Stamp Set stamped on the envelope flap.  The flowers are colored using Pretty Peacock, Pool Party, Granny Apple Green, Old Olive, and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends.

Stampin’ Up! Classic Wedding

This is the card I made for our grandson’s wedding a few weeks ago.  I just haven’t gotten around to posting it.  This Stampin’ Up! Classic Wedding Stamp Set and Dies are compliments of Amy Koenders.

As you can see, this is a fun fold.

Card Cuts:

  • Basic White cardstock
    • card base — 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″
    • embossed panels (2) 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
    • car — 4-1/4′ x 5-1/2″
  • Pretty In Pink cardstock
    • scrap for hearts
  • Silver Foil
    • bumper, back window frame, tail lights, & trunk latch
  1. Using Smoky Slate ink, stamp the car image on a piece of Basic White cardstock.
  2. Stamp the greeting on a piece of Basic White cardstock, then die cut using a die from Classic Wedding Dies.
  3. Color the tires using Basic Gray Stampin’ Blends. 
  4. Using Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends, color the car.
  5. Die-cut all the pieces shown on the card using dies from Classic Wedding Dies. 
  6. Emboss the two Basic White panels using Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder. 
  7. Adhere with Multipurpose Glue the two embossed panels, one on the card front, the other on the inside of the card.  
  8. Pop the card on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  9. Adhere all the little pieces you see on the card front to the card using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
  10. Using a black felt pen, draw the tire tracks behind the wheels.

Since it has been over a month since I made this card, I do not remember the Stamp Set for the greeting.  The one that is at the bottom for the stop for the card when it is made into an easel is from Stampin’ Up! Classic Wedding Stamp Set.  Hearts are adhered down each side of the card.

 The flap of a Basic White envelope gets embossed using Glass and Garden 3D Embossing Folder.

I am using the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder to create this card.  I have several others I will be finishing over the coming days, hopefully. There are several videos out on YouTube that demonstrate this technique.

I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the embossing folder.  I colored the debossed side using Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight, and Pecan Pie inks.

The debossed colored panel is matted to a Highland Heather piece of cardstock, then adhered to the Gorgeous Grape cardstock cardbase. A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Frames Stamp Set is stamped in Memento Black ink on a Basic White scrap.  The greeting is adhered over a few loops of twine using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A flower from Stampin’ Up! You Are Remarkable Stamp Set is stamped in Memento Black ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock and colored using Highland Heather and Granny Apple Stampin’ Blends. A stamp from the same stamp set is used to stamp a sentiment beside the flower.  This leaves room at the top of the panel to write a message or sign your name. The panel is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A Basic White envelope lap gets embossed using the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder.
