Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnias

February 17, 2024 admin

My card today that I am sharing is created using one of the new Online Exclusives available in March for customers. I also, use Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Softly Sophisticated stamp set and Embossing Folder, a free Sale-a-Bration item.

Start with a Basic White cardstock card base.
Add a panel of Poppy Parade cardstock using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Next, add a Basic White cardstock panel that has been embossed using the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder, adhere using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. It shows up as a half panel.
Cut a panel of Sunny Day Designer Series Paper and cut it at an angle. See photo about for how it was cut.
Stamp a flower image from Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia stamp set in Memento Black in on a Basic White panel.
Color the flowers and leaves using Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Mango Melody, and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends.
Color the white area around the zinnias in the area where it is placed over the Softly Sophisticated Designer Series Paper so there is not blaring white when you look at the card.
There is a die for the flowers but I fussy cut as I wanted it cut closer.
Cut a thin strip of Basic Black cardstock and a thin strip from a panel of Sunny Days Designer Series Paper.
Add the strips across the card from covering the area there the Sunny Days Designer Series Paper and the Basic White cardstock panel meet. Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue as the adhesive.
Pop the zinnias over the two thin strips using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Stamp a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Memento Black ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock.
Flag one end of the greeting.
Pop the greeting over the stem of the zinnias using Stampin’ Dimensionals
Pop three Rhinestone Basic Jewels that have been colored using a Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends.
On a Basic White cardstock panel stamp a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions stamp set in Memento Black ink.
Stamp a portion of the same stamp used for the card front in the lower right corner of the panel using Memento Black ink.
Color the zinnias using the same colors as the ones on the card front.
Using Memento Black ink stamped off twice stamp dots using a dot stamp from Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature stamp set.
Stamp in Memento Black ink a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions stamp set. Stamp the sentiment by the zinnias.
Adhere the Basic White panel to a Poppy Parade cardstock mat, then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Adhere two Rhinestone Basic Jewels that have been colored using a Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends
Adhere a panel of Sunny Days Designer Series Paper the flap of a Basic White envelope flap.

These are the challenges I am entering for this card.

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

February 13, 2024 admin

Welcome! It that time, the 2nd Tuesday of the month you have been waiting for with excitement, a fun team blog hop from Amy’s Inkin’ Krew. The theme for this month is “Birthday”. You are in for a treat seeing all the talent these ladies present to you. Sit back with your favorite beverage and enjoy. You will see cards that will inspire you to get creative as you jump from blog to blog.

The card I am sharing today for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop is created using Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies stamp set and Dies, along with Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions stamp set. There is a diagram and card cuts at the end of the post showing how to cut and score. My card is a CAS of Connie Stewart’s card.

Score and fold on the score lines in an accordion style. Using a pencil make a mark 1-1/4″ down from the top of the card on the left side. Cut from the pencil mark up to the 3″ score line. You can see the diagram at the bottom. There is a red line showing where to cut.
Adhere the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper to the Boho Blue cardstock mats. I found it easier to start with the largest triangle to adhere to the card base. Placing adhesive only on the left edge of the triangle and at the bottom. You want to leave the top open for the little card or gift card.
On the 2nd largest triangle place adhesive on the longest side of the triangle and adhere, you can see in the photo how it is adhered. I placed the triangle on the middle section before adding adhesive and made a tiny pencil mark so I would know how far to place the adhesive on the back of the triangle.
Repeat this step for the small triangle that is in front.
On a piece of Basic White cardstock stamp in Boho Blue ink the large daisy from Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies stamp set. Stamp the center of the daisy using Copper Clay ink. Using the matching die from the Cheerful Daisies dies, die cut the daisy.
2023-2025 In Color Dots are popped around the card front and onto the little Basic White card.
In Boho Blue ink, stamp a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies stamp set on the top of the little Basic White card.
Choose a daisy image from the stamp set and stamp the daisy in Boho Blue ink, stamp the daisy center in Copper Clay ink, and last stamp the stem and leaves for the daisy in Wild Wheat ink.
On the inside of the little Basic White card, stamp in Boho Blue ink a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions stamp set.
In the lower right corner of the card stamp in Boho Blue ink a flower image from Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions stamp set.
A Basic White envelope gets a piece of the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions

January 23, 2024 admin

Sunny Days Designer Series Paper makes the card I am sharing today, a bright and cheery card. I am using Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions stamp set for the images on the card and Thoughtful Expressions Dies to die cut the images. I am also using Painted Posies 3 D Embossing Folder.

I started with a Basic White cardstock card base embossing a panel of the same using Painted Posies 3 D Embossing Folder. I cut a piece of Sunny Days Designer Series Paper (free during Sale-a-Bration with a qualified order) matting it on a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock. The piece is then adhered over the embossed piece and adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Gems from Tinsel Gems Four Pack are popped around the card front.

These are my challenges for this card

Flowers and a hummingbird from Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions stamp set are stamped in Smoky Slate ink. After see the posted picture I realize the hummingbird should have probably been stamped in Memento Black ink to give a more distinct look. The flowers are colored using Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green, and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. The hummingbird is colored using Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. Wink of Stella is brushed on the flowers and parts of the hummingbird, but it doesn’t show up very well in the photo. Leaves are die cut from Granny Apple Green and Shaded Spruce cardstock using dies from Thoughtful Expressions Dies.

Two labels are die cut from Basic White cardstock using dies from Thoughtful Expressions Dies. The circle is for the flowers and hummingbird to rest. The other one is for the greeting stamped in Smoky Slate ink, fussy cut, and adhered with Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the label. The label is popped over the edge of the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Iridescent Foil Gems are popped on two of the flowers on the piece of Sunny Days Designer Series Paper.

A greeting is stamped in Memento Black ink on a label that has been cut using a die from Thoughtful Expressions Dies. It is adhered in the middle of a panel of Sunny Days Designer Paper and adhered to the card base.

A Basic White medium envelope gets a panel of Sunny Days Designer Series Paper applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lavender — Sending Love & Big Hugs

January 23, 2024 admin

So happy you have stopped. I hope you enjoy my blog for today.

Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage stamp set and Dies are part of the Perennial Lavender Suite. This suite has beautiful Designer Series Paper. I am using this part of the suite to create the card I am sharing with you today. The card I have created is a CAS of one created by Jamie Babarczy of Stamp It Up With Jaimie

To add the Basic White mat and the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper cut a piece of Basic White cardstock 2-1/4″ x 5-1/4″. Measure in from left corner 7/8″, cut from the 7/8″ mark down to the right corner, this will create the mat. For the Designer Series Paper, cut a piece of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper 2-1/8″ x 5-1/8″. Measure in from left corner 3/4″, cut from the 3/4″ mark down to the right corner. You can see the photo above to see how they fit.

This is a picture of the card with the belly band off. I created a belly band to hold the card closed, being a multi-fold they have a tendency to not close as well. To create the belly band cut a 1-1/2″ x 11″ piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock. A piece of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper is cut 1-1/4″ x 10-1/4″ and adhered to the Gorgeous Grape band. Wrap this around the card not too snug so it will slide off the card easily. Die cut a piece of Basic White cardstock, emboss using Softly Sophisticated 3 D Embossing Folder. Add a die cut Gorgeous Grape butterfly and three Gorgeous Grape dots from Glossy Dots Assortment the adhere to the belly band using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Cut a piece of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper, matting on a Basic White mat, adhered to the second flap of the card. Die cut the butterflies from Gorgeous Grape cardstock.

Create a label for the greeting by using a die from Perennial Postage Dies to die cut it from Basic White cardstock. Stamp the greeting in Gorgeous Grape ink on the Basic White label. Two stamps from Perennial Postage stamp set are use. Part of the top greeting is masked leaving the words needed for the greeting. The other part of the greeting is stamped before the masked portion. Add Gorgeous Grape dots from Glossy Dots Assortment.

A sentiment from Perennial Postage stamp set is stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink on a Basic White cardstock panel. A butterfly is brushed on the corner using Gorgeous Grape ink and a Blending Brush. A butter is adhered over the back of the butterfly that shows from the front. It is colored in Gorgeous Grape and Shaded Spruce ink, using Blending Brushes.

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