Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky

Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky

Happy Friday everyone!  Do you have a fun weekend planned?  Here in Georgia it is too hot to do much outside. Maybe,  if you are in Savannah at the beach, the breeze may be cool encough to be outside.  Enjoy the weekend, whatever you do!

I believe this is called a diagonal Fun Fold, I will call it that.  I have used Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Beach Day stamp set for my greeting and sentiment.  Beach Day has been seeing lots of use with me recently.  I also used half of one of the card bases from the Delicate Wings Paper Pumpin Kit as a background piece on the card front.

I am entering my card in 

Triple B: Birds, Butterflies, and Blooms  Challenge

Cut a 4-1/4′ x 11″ Basic White cardstock card base.  Score at 5-1/2″.  On the left panel, cut from the score line to the right corner.  You can see in the photo how the cut is.

Using half of one of the card bases from Delicate Wings Paper Pumpkin, cut the panel 4″ x 5-1/4″ then cut diagonally from the left corner to the right corner.  Adhere the piece to the left panel of the card front.

Using Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies stamp set and Dies you can stamp butterflies and then die cut using one of the dies.  I used butterflies from a large, large stash of butterflies I die cut some time ago.  I believe they multiply over night.  I dipped the edges of the butterflies in Versa Mark end, sprinkled Gold Embossing Powder over them, and heat embossed.  Using a Blending Brush and Lost Lagoon ink, I brushed the center of the butterflies.  A sequin Neutral Adhesive Backed Sequins is popped on the butterflies.

 Cut a piece of Lost Lagoon cardstock 3-1/4′ x 6-1/2″ score at 3-1/4″. Cut a piece of Lost Lagoon 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″.  Embosse the piece using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.  Adhere to the front of the little card.  Pop the butterflies on the front using a Glue Dot.   Using another half panel of a card base from Delicate Wings Paper Pumpkin cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″,  color using a Blending Brush and Lost Lagoon ink.  Adhere the piece to the inside of the card.  Use the remaining half of the card from the card front, adhered to the inside of the left panel. Adhere the little card to the middle of the inside panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Stamp a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Beach Day stamp set in Memento Black ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock.  Also, stamp the  little butterflies from Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies stamp set in Memento Black ink on the sentiment panel.  Color using Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends.  Adhere to the inside of the little card.

Stamp a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky stamp set on a scrap of Basic White cardstock, fussy cut and adhere to the corner of the little card.  Adhere Iridescent Adhesive Backed Gems to the front of the little card.

Adhere a 2-1/4′ x 6″ piece of Country Woods Designer Series Paper to a Basic White envelope flap using Multipurpose Glue.

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Set for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop.

Welcome! it’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month and time for a group of talented ladies to share  with you. It is a fun team blog hop from Amy’s Inkin’ Krew.   This month we are all creating “Fun Fold” cards. Hopefully, as you hop from blog to blog  you will see cards that will  inspire you to get creative and you will join the blog hop next month.

This is my Fun Fold that I am sharing for this blog hop.  The stamp set is Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia.

My card base is Basic White cardstock with a variety of the different patterns from Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper. The card front is a piece of Basic White cardstock die cut using a Perennial Postage Die.  The piece is embossed using Timber 3D Embossing Folder.  Zinnias from Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Stamp Set is stamped in Memento Black ink and colored using Highland Heather, Flirty Flamingo, and Melon Mambo Stampin’ Blends.  They are fussy cut and popped on the Basic White Embossed piece.  That piece is adhered to the flap on the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  A bow is made from Linen Thread and popped under the greeting using a Glue Dot.  The greeting is stamped in Highland Heather ink, fussy cut and popped over the bow using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Purple Shimmery Gems are scattered around the card front.

 I put a piece of white paper so you could not the next layer before it is open.  This is how it looks with the first opening.  You can see where to place Designer Series Paper and the flower from Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper.  A fussy cut zinnia from Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper is adhered over a piece of the Designer Series Paper.

You can see from this photo that a full sheet of cardstock is used in creating the card base with a few scores and cut to create this design.  Score at 4-1/4″ on the 8-1/2″ side, turn to the 11″ side and score at 5-1/2″.

At the top of the 8-1/2″ side cut from the 4-1/4″ score line down to the 5-1/2″ score line.  Turn the cardstock to the 11″ side and cut from the 5-1/2″ score line over to the cut line at 4-1/4″.

Do the same at the bottom, starting at the 4-1/4″ score line and cutting up to the 5-1/2″ score line.  Turn the cardstock and cut from the cardstock edge over to the 4-1/4″ line that you just cut.  You can see in the photo where I have cut.

A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Stamp Set is stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink on a Basic White piece of cardstock, die cut using a die from Thoughtful Expressions Dies and adhered to the outside of the little card over the green designer series paper from Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper

The little card is adhered over the piece of the purple designer series paper.  A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Stamp Set is stamp on the inside of the card in  Highland  Heather and Granny Apple Green ink.

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

I am using Stampin’ Up! Enduring Beauty Stamp Set and Dies for the card I am sharing today.  Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse Stamp Set  is used for the sentiment.

Enduring Beauty Stamp Set is stamped in Versa Mark, sprinkled with Clear Embossing Powder and heat embossed using a heat tool.  The mask are then used to add the layers of color to the image.  Fresh Freesia, Balmy Blue, Olive Olive, and Petunia Pop ink is used for the coloring using a Blending Brush.

The greeting is one from my stash of greeting, so I can not remember the stamp set it has been so long since I stamp a container of greetings.  Any greeting of your choice can be used.  A piece of White Twine from Baker’s Twine Essential Pack is tied into a bow and popped under the greeting.

A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse Stamp Set is stamped in Memento Black ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock.  It is positioned at an angle over a piece of Petunia Pop cardstock that has been adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Beach Day

Stampin’ Up! Beach Day

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Beach Day Stamp Set.  I have had a hard time trying to write instructions for making this card so I will just show you a few pictures, give instructions I hope make sense and give the dimensions of the cardstock and Country Woods Designer Series Paper used in the creation.

The card base is Crumb Cake.  Make two card bases 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, Score at 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4″. Trim off about 1/16″ from the card base that will be the right side one. Adhere the two card base together, placing one flat piece inside the other. By trimming off just the little smidge, it will make the card close easier.
Card Cuts you will need for this card:

  • Crumb Cake cardstock
    • card base — 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ (cut 2) score at 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4″
    • mats for top & bottom pieces on card front  1-3/4″ x 4-1/2″ (cut 2)
    • mat for art piece — 4″ x 4″
    • sand banks — 1″ x 3-3/4″ (cut 2)
  • Basic White cardstock
    • inside piece — 4″ x 5-1/4″
    • art piece — 3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″
    • stamped images — 4″ x 4″
  • Country Woods Designer Series Paper
    • top & bottom pieces card front  — 1-1/2″ x 3-3/4″ (cut 2)
    • side panels inside — 1-7/8″ x 5-1/4″ (cut 2)

This is how the card looks when you begin opening it.  It can look like a square card.

  As you can see the surf boards go between the top and bottom piece on the Crumb Cake.  I didn’t place the Country Woods Designer Series Paper piece closer to the top and bottom of the card base so I had to cut the bottom from the surf boards.  I used  Calypso Coral, Lemon Lolly, and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends to color the surf boards. 

Adhesive is adhered only on the left side of the Crumb Cake mats, so the other end will slide easily behind the art piece when closed.

Challenges I am entering

Hand Stamped  Sentiments Challenge  

Krafty Chicks Challenge   

The Paper Players Challenge   down the right side

On the  Basic White piece use Blending Brushes and Lemon Lolly, Calypso Coral, and Pool Party ink to create the sky. 

On the two pieces of Crumb Cake die cut the sand banks, brush with Crumb Cake ink using a Blending Brush, stamp the seashell image on the sand banks.  The sand banks will be layered at the bottom of the art piece and the beach shack will be adhered over the edge of it. 

Stamp in Memento Black ink the beach shack, coloring using Azure Afternoon, Cajun Craze, Peach Pie, Pool Party, and Real Red Stampin’ Blends. 

Die cut the grass using a die from Beach Day Dies

Stamp a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Beach Day Stamp Set in Versa Mark on a scrap of Crumb Cake cardstock, sprinkle White Embossing Powder and heat set using a heat tool. 

Stamp the seagull image in Memento Black ink, die cut and pop on the upper right corner of the card base. 

Adhere the art piece to the right side of the card front putting adhesive only in the middle edge of the piece so the card will  slide open and close easy.

You can see how the two Country Woods Designer Series Paper pieces are adhered to either side of the card.

  On a panel of Basic White cardstock stamp the sentiments from Stampin’ Up! Beach Day stamp set in Pool Party and Calypso Coral inks.  Using a Blending Brush and Crumb Cake ink, brush some sand at the bottom of the panel. 

Stamp in Memento Black ink the chair and umbrella.  Color using Calypso Coral, Lemon Lolly, and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends.  Adhere the panel to the inside card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A Basic White envelope gets a piece of Country Woods Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Products Used In Creating This Card


Stampin’ Up! Latte Love — Coffee With Friends

Stampin’ Up! Latte Love — Coffee With Friends

The card I am sharing today is created  using A Little Latte Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Coffee With Friends Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse Stamp Set.  The two stamps sets are used for a greeting and sentiment and to decorate the sentiment panel.

This is a stack, cut, shuffle card, so I ended up with three cards.  I used three different patterns of A Little Latte Designer Series Paper. The three patterns of paper are cut into three pieces, shuffled around so you end up with a panel of paper that has three designs to it. The three pieces are matted on a piece of Calypso Coral cardstock as you can see in the photo above.

Three different coffee cups are fussy cut from A Little Latte Designer Series Paper, arranged over the piece that will be the card front and adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Coffee With Friends Stamp Set is stamped on a piece of Basic White cardstock, die cut using a die from Thoughtful Expression Dies , then popped into one of the coffee cups on the card front.

A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Coffee With Friends and Country Birdhouse Stamp Sets is stamped on a piece of Basic White cardstock, then die cut using a die from Thoughtful Expressions Dies.  Another piece of Basic White has an image from Stampin’ Up! Coffee With Friends Stamp Set stamped in the corner in Pecan Pie ink and colored using Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends. The piece that is die cut is adhered to the center of this panel.  I realize looking at the photo that I did not get the piece straight when adhered to the larger panel. OH, well!

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

This is a picture of all three cards that is created with the stack, cut, shuffle technique.  Two are created using Early Espresso as the card base with Calypso Coral mats, the other one is created using Pecan Pie cardstock and Lost Lagoon as the mat.

One of the perks of being a demonstrator is that you get to pre-order before a new catalog  launches so you are able to show your customers what they can look forward to having when the new catalog comes out.  You will also be getting at least a 20% discount on purchases. If you love card making as a hobby, you can still be a demonstrator and get that discount to help get more card making items,  or you can be like I was and buy Stampin’ Up! products for 10 years before I became wise enough to become a demonstrator to get the discount.  When I think of all the stamping products that 20% would have brought over those 10 years, I cringe.
