Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves Thinking of You Birthday Card

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves Stamp Set and Intricate Dies.

Inspiration for my card comes from two challenges today, the first being the Allsorts Challenge. Their theme for this challenge is Autumn. I have autumn leaves on my card.

The second is The Sisterhood of Crafter, their theme is Happy Birthday, though my card says Thinking of You, which people usually do on the birthday of family or friend, the inside sentiment is a birthday sentiment.

My card base is Evening Evergreen card stock with a layer of In Good Taste DSP trimmed in Pattern Party DSP is the focal panel. A different pattern of the DSP is cut for the banner that goes down one side of the card. A length of ribbon is colored using a Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Marker and wrapped around the card front between the two DSPs. A small length of ribbon is tied in a knot and adhered using a Mini Glue Dot.

Leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves Stamp Set are stamped using the Baby Wipe method for the stamp pad. The leaves are cropped using a dies from the Intricate Leaves Dies. They are then popped on the woodgrain strip using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from my stash, I probably have 25-50 of these greeting labels so I am sure you will see more along the way. Any greeting could be used in place of the one I used. Three Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels are popped on the card front, one being added to the greeting label.

The sentiment is from Stampin’ Up! Elegantly Said and Pansy Patch Stamp Sets. It is stamped in Crumb Cake ink on a Basic White card stock panel. Leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves Stamp Set are stamped using the Baby Wipe method for an ink pad. I used Early Espresso, Pumpkin Pie, and Cinnamon Cider inks dropped on the Baby Wipe to create the stamp pad. The leaves were cropped using a die from the Intricate Leaves Dies.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the Good Taste DSP applied to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy joins Poinsettia Place

Happy Sunday everyone. I hope your weekend has been as gorgeous as the one we are having where I live. The leaves are a changin’, the weather is perfect. It makes you want to sit outside forever, but then I could not give you a sneak peek of the Stampin’ Up! Curvy dies that bundle with the Quite Curvy Stamp Set. You can see information near the bottom of the page.

Design inspiration for today comes from the Freshly Made Sketches 457.

And…

Craftyhazelnuts Patterned Paper Challenge.

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Garden Green card stock. I wanted the card front embossed and instead of putting my card front through the Embossing Machine and probably ruining it like I always used to do until our great team leader gave us all a little tip on how to prevent it. Cut a panel of card stock the size of your card front, emboss it, and then adhere to the card front after all the elements have been added. Works every time!

Layer a panel of Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper (DSP) onto the Stampin’ Up! Pinewoods Plank Embossed panel of Garden Green card stock. Over this layer a more narrow and longer panel. The first panel is adhered using Multipurpose Glue and the second panel is popped on using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The poinsettias are fussy cute from a panel of the Poinsettia Place DSP and popped on over the panels of DSP. A length of Stampin’ Up! Linen Thread is wrapped around the flowers. The leaves are from Stampin’ Up! Rooted In Nature Stamp Bundle. The greeting from the Quite Curvy Stamp Set is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Early Expresso ink on the Stampin’ Up! Very Vanilla strip of card stock that is then cropped using a die from the Curvy Dies that are bundled with the Quite Curvy Stamp Set. It is popped across the bottom of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A rhinestone from the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Rhinestone Jewels is popped to the greeting.

The sentiment panel gets a strip of the Poinsettia Place DSP to the Very Vanilla panel.

The envelope gets a panel of the Poinsettia Place DSP also and your card project is finished.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day. My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself. Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me. Have a blessed day!

Stampin’ Up! Prized Peony

Happy Sunday everyone. I hope you have a great Sunday. It is a good day to stay in and make cards with the weather so yukky!

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Prized Peony Stamp Set, along with Touched My Heart and Peaceful Moments Stamp Sets for the greeting and sentiment.

My inspiration for today’s challenge comes from the Cut It Up Challenge – Use A Die Cut.

And…

Seize The Birthday Anything Goes

This was an easy card to create. Start with a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock base. Emboss a Whisper White panel using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle 3D Embossing Folder, it will be added to the card base once all the card front elements are added.

The peonies are stamped on a panel of Whisper White card stock and colored using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blends in Flirty Flamingo, Mango Melody, and Shaded Spruce.

A length of Flirty Flamingo ribbon is wrapped around the embossed panel. I do not know the name of the ribbon. The Stampin’ Up! Stitched So Sweetly Die cut is popped over the ribbon and the peonies are popped on alternating corners of the panel. Three Stampin’ Up! Rhinestone Basic Jewels are scattered over the card front.

The sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a Whisper White panel. Small peonies have been stamped, colored with the same blends as the card front, cropped, and placed around the sentiment panel. Lastly, this panel is adhered to the inside of the card base and your card is finished.

Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers

Hello all, are you having a nice Saturday and have lots of plans, even with this awful thing that limits most of our activities. Have a fun weekend in spite of all the limitations.

The card I am sharing today is a Double Z Fold card. It features the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set. This card is a CAS(E) of a stampin’ friend and team member in New Jersey, no not Amy Koenders🙂, but Karen Ksenzakovic. You can see her card here.

My inspiration for this fun fold card comes from the Dream Valley Challenge – the theme is More Than One Fold

Karen has such great instructions, I believe I will direct you to her site if you are interested in the instructions. I suppose I could CAS(E) (we CAS(E) cards why not instructions) her instructions🙂 and put them here.

The tiny butterflies are cropped using the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Beauty Dies. The sentiments from Stampin’ Up! Grace’s Garden, Sending Sunshine, and Itty Bitty Birthdays Stamp Sets are stamped in Pretty Peacock ink on different size labels that have been cropped using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

A Stampin’ Up! Whisper White medium-sized envelope gets a panel of the Celebrate Sunflowers added to the envelope flap and your project is finished.

Stampin’ Up! Band Together With Peaceful Poppies

March 30, 2020 admin

Good morning stampers! I hope your weekend was great fun-filled with family as we are still in the social distancing stage. Those who had to work thank you for going to the war zones for us.

This card features the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper.

The inspiration for the design comes from CAS(E) This Sketch .

Start with a Stampin’ Up! Old Olive card stock card base. Next is a Stampin’ Up! Blackberry Bliss card stock mat for the three pieces of the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper that creates the design for the challenge.

Space the DSP pieces so as to give them a border. Once they are adhered down using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, adhere to the card base. Stamp the greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Band Together Stamp Set in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a small panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock, crop using a die from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched So Sweetly Die Set. Add a single rhinestone, pop on the card front using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Crop a panel of Whisper White using a die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and stamp a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Stamp Set. Stamp a cross from the Stampin’ Up! Hold On To Hope Stamp Set in Stampin’ Up! Highland Heather Classic Ink. stamp Off once before stamping over the sentiment. Adhere to the Stampin’ Up! Blackberry Bliss mat then adhere to the card base.

To finish the project, give a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope a panel of the Peaceful Poppies DSP.
