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.

This card features the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper.
The inspiration for the design comes from
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.













My card challenges for today are 

The first thing was to cut a panel of Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake card stock for the card base. Next was to crop the tree from Crumb Cake card stock using the Stampin’ Up! Majestic Mountain Dies. I then smushed the tree on the Delicata Copper Stamp pad to color the tree. To speed up drying of the ink, I used the heat tool.
Next, using a Stampin’ Up! Layering Oval Die, I cut an oval from Stampin’ Up! Basic Black Cardstock, popping it on the Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake card stock panel embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder. The tree was then glued to the oval using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
The “Time To Celebrate” greeting is from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthday Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink on a scrap of Crumb Cake card stock and cut with the smallest Stitched Rectangles Die. It is popped on with Glue Dots.
Five little red hearts are stamped in Stampin’ Up! Real Red ink on a Crumb Cake card stock scrap and fussy cut and added to the card front. The little hearts give it a touch of color and could be used for a masculine valentine card by changing the greeting.
The sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tropical Stamp Set is stamped in Delicata Copper Ink on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Very Vanilla card stock. The tree is adhered in the lower corner.
A panel from Stampin’ Up! 6” x 6” Neutral Designer Series Paper is adhered to the flap of a Stampin’ Up! Very Vanilla envelope.

















This is the front of my card, the base is Stampin’ Up! Petal Pink card stock with a Stampin’ Up! Best Dressed Designer Series Paper as the focal panel. This is a shadow box card and I followed the instructions in Dawn Griffith’s video

Today I am sharing a product that is available in the Jan.-June 2020 Mini Catalog. I am using Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Stone 3D Embossing Folder in creating my card today. The sentiment is found in the Stampin’ Up! Special Someone Stamp Set and Peaceful Moments Stamp Set.
The card base is Stampin’ Up! Pool Party card stock with a background panel from the same card stock that has been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Stone 3D Embossing Folder and then popped on the card base using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals. The pink panel is cut from Stampin’ Up! 6′ x 6″ Best Dressed Designer Series Paper.
The greeting is from the Special Someone Stamp Set and is stamped in Smoky Slate ink on a scrap of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock and then cropped with the Stampin’ Up! Ornate Frames Dies and popped on the card front using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The inside sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Stamp Set is stamped in Smoky Slate ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock. Flowers from a panel of Stampin’ Up! Parisian Blooms Specialty Designer Series Paper are fussy cut and adhered on the sentiment panel.
