Stampin’ Up! Happy Spring

March 21, 2024 admin

The card I am sharing today is a simple and easy card to create. I used Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Card Pack and Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Cards & Envelopes. I suppose you could say this is a CAS of Karen Finkle’s card, because her card is the one that gave me the idea for this one.

I am joining the challenge below for this card.

Addicted to Stamps & More

Creative Creases Challenge

I used one of the cards from Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Card & Envelopes as the card base. All the pieces of the card are from Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Card Pack. The card picked for the card front is trimmed to fix the Lost Lagoon cardstock mat. By matting the card you will not see the back side of the card, just a solid color.

This is a side view of the card showing the easel. Score the card front at 2-1/8″ to create the easel. The card front is adhered to the easel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. One of the small cards from the pack is trimmed and adhered on the right side of the card front over the floral card. A white butterfly is popped on the edge of this piece using glue dots.

The word happy is one of the stickers from the card pack. I matted it on two pieces of Basic White cardstock. This gives it some dimensional. It becomes the stop for the easel. The word Anniversary is stamped in Memento Black ink on a scrap of one of the cards. It is matted on a scrap of Lost Lagoon cardstock and adhered under the word happy. Wink of Stella is applied to some of the flowers on the card front. Dragonflies from Dragonflies & Birds are popped around the card front.

A sentiment fr0m Stampin’ Up! Everlasting Beauty stamp set is stamped in Memento Black ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock and adhered with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

This is one of the envelopes from the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Cards & Envelopes.

When I think of all the stamping products that 20% would have brought over those 10 years, I cringe.

Stampin’ Up! Seaside Bay –Thinking Happy Thoughts…

April 27, 2023 admin

I hope everyone is having a sunny day even if it is raining where you are, as it is here in Georgia today. You can always have a happy day and that will make sunshine in your heart and give you a happy spirit. Give someone your sunny friendly smile today, it maybe the only smile they see the entire day and it will help brighten their rather dreary day. Have a blessed day where ever you maybe and do.

The card I am sharing today is from the Jan – April 2023 Mini Catalog and it carries over to the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog coming May 2, 2023. I have not shared this stamp set very much, so it is good it is carrying over and I will be able to use it until April 30, 2024.

I am entering Tuesday Morning Sketches for this card. Come join the fun challenges are always fun to do.

I started with a Pool Party card stock card base. I added a panel of By The Bay Designer Series Paper matted to a panel of Night of Navy card stock. I adhered this to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut a strip of By The Bay Designer Series Paper 1-1/2″ x 5″ matting on Night of Navy card stock. I adhered this across the card front.

I cut a piece of By the Bay Designer Series for the art piece matting on Night of Navy card stock. I stamped birds from Stampin’ Up! Lets Set Sail stamp set in the upper right corner using Night of Navy ink. I adhered this piece to the card front positioning it over the banner. To this piece I added birds that were either fussy cut from By The Bay Designer Series Paper or stamped in Night of Navy ink using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Seaside Bay stamp set. These birds are popped on the bottom of the art panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Seashells are also fussy cut and popped on the card front. A greeting from Stampin’ Up! On The Farm stamp set is stamped in Night of Navy ink in the left corner. Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels are popped around the card front. This finishes the card front, now on to creating the inside panel to write a note or sentiment.

A panel of By The Bay Designer Series Paper is matted on Night of Navy card stock after having seashells and a bird stamp across the bottom of the panel. The shells are stamped in Crumb Cake ink and the bird is stamped in Night of Navy ink. Even with the design on the panel it is light enough to write a message. This finishes the inside of the card, now on to making sure there is no naked envelope.

A Basic White Medium Envelope gets a piece of By The Bay Designer Series Paper applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Paper Pumpkin 10 Years of Growth

April 9, 2023 admin

Happy Easter everyone, I hope you have had a blessed day.

Today I am sharing four of the cards I created using March 2023 Paper Pumpkin, 10 Years of Growth. I did a littler altering of the four cards I am showing, I have more to make and will show at a later date.

I used an Orchid Oasis card stock card base. I cut the card into two pieces adhering the card front to the Orchid Oasis card base. Adding an Orchid Oasis card base is about the only thing I did to this card other than adding sequins to the front.

I gave this one an Orchid Oasis card base also. This one is an anniversary card.

This one has a Shaded Spruce card base. I created the front to look as if you are looking out a window with curtains. I added a linen bow on each side of the curtains using Linen Thread.

This card has a Polished Pink card base. I turned the background panel vertically instead of horizontally as in the directions with Paper Pumpkin.

Stampin’ Up! Greatest Journey — Thinking of You

April 3, 2023 admin

The card I am sharing today is one that I have seen on Pinterest but this one is a CAS of Mary Deatherage’s card. Her instructions are very clear and easy to understand. I did exactly what she said not to do and had to start over. This is an anniversary card for my grandson and his wife. They love to hike, so I thought this would make a great card for them.

I am entering the As You See It Challenge — Outdoors.

As my card is a fun fold, I am also entering the Creative Creases Challenge.

This is the way my card looks opened. My card base is Starry Sky card stock. This is almost like two cards made side-by-side to hold up a card front. Start with 2 pieces of Starry Sky cards cut 4-1/4″ x 8-1/4″. Score each piece at 2-1/4″, 4″, and 6-1/4″. The first fold is a mountain fold and the other two are valley folds.

You can see the photo above for the folds. Cut one piece 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″(this is one of the errors I did the first time.) Watch Mary’s video as to how to put the wings on the card front. She gives great details.

Cut four Coastal Cabana mats 2-1/8″ x 4-1/8″, cut one Coastal Cabana mat 4-1/8″ x 4-1/8″, and cut four Coastal Cabana mats 1-5/8″ x 4-1/8″.

First cut a piece of Enjoy The Journey Designer Series Paper 4-1/2″ x 12″. After you have cut this piece, trim 1/4″ inch from the bottom where the trees are to save your mountain peaks. If you just cut a 4-1/4″ x 12″ piece you will cut your mountain peaks off. Next, cut the following (this is where I errored again, instead of numbering my pieces 1-5 and cutting that way, I cut 4 pieces without thinking of the design of the Enjoy The Journey Designer Series Paper. I matted each piece and when I started adhering to the card base, I realized my error. Start over I did, this time I numbered the pieces of Designer Series Paper as I cut. #1 was 2″ x 4″, #2 was 1-1/2″ x 4″ #3 was 4″ x 4″, #4 was 1-1/2″ and #5 was 2″ x 4″. As I adhered to the mats, I wrote the number on the back of the mat. Mary gives very clear details about doing this. My second go round took about 9-1/2 minutes to assembly after all the pieces were cut.

This is the back side of the card with the sentiment. I adhered these pieces as I cut them so there was no mix-up. I had to look through so many stamp sets to find one that was anniversary, I can not remember which set I used. We need more anniversary sentiments.

A Basic White medium envelope gets a piece of Enjoy The Journey Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Pretty Birds

September 29, 2022 custom

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Pretty Birds Stamp Set and Birdhouse Dies. This is a beautiful card. My card is a CAS of one of my team members Karen Hickam Ilsley

It took me all day to figure out how to create it but I finally was happy on the fourth try of what I created. There are a few things Karen has that I did not even notice until I looked at her card again when I started to post this.

My card base is Basic White card stock and Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper as the background. The bird cages are Coastal Cabana card stock. I used Silver Foil to crop the bird swings, also I used the negative portion of the bird swing as the mirror. I used a piece of window sheet to adhere the bird cages too. Flowers from Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper are fussy cut and adhered to the card front. One of the birds is popped over one bunch of flowers.

The birds are colored using Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide,Crumb Cake, Pale Papaya,and Fresh Freesa Stampin’ Blends Markers. The birds are then cropped and popped on the card front.

I am entering the Tic, Tac Toe Challenge. I choose Leaves, Fun Fold, and Ink Blending.

This is how the card looks when folded. This is one of those cards you make for your own pleasure, not give to someone. I am sure any person receiving it would consider it a real treasure. I, also, did not put a greeting or sentiment on the card as it isn’t going to anyone.

I prepared no envelope with Designer Series Paper as this card will not be given to anyone.
