Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden

Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden

It is amazing what taking a photo of a card will do to the color.  The flowers from Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden Stamp Set are colored with a Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends.  This looks blue or gray to me now.  I also used Stampin’ Up! Blooming Phrases Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Love & Strength Stamp Set. — 2-7/8″ cuts for this card are

  • Basic White cardstock
    • card base —  score at 4-1/4″  Measure from the outside edge of the Basic White cardstock in to 1-1/4″. Cut from the score line to the bottom edge.  Do this on both sides of the card.
    • inside panel — 3′ x 4″
    • flowers 4″ x 4″
  • Gorgeous Grape cardstock
    • base sides — 1-1/8″ x 4-1/8″
    • base center — 2-7/8″ x 3-7/8″
    • inside base -2-7/8″ x 3-7/8″
    • inside top sides — 1-1/8″ x 4-1/8″  embossed with Glass & Gardens Embossing Folder (cut 2)
    • inside base sides — 1-1/8″ x 4-1/8″ (cut 2)
  • Lost Lagoon cardstock
    • inside base sides 1″ x 4″ (cut 2)
  • Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper
    • card base sides outside — 1″ x 4″ (cut 2)
    • card base sides inside — 7/8″ x 3-7/8″ (cut 2)
    • envelope flap — 2-1/4″ x 6″
  • Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper
    • 2 flowers fussy cut for inside
  • Window Sheet
  • card front window — 3″ x 4″  adhered with Tear N’ Tape

Stamp in Memento Black ink the flowers from Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden Stamp Set. Color the flowers using Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends.  Pop Stampin’ Dimensionals on the side of the flower that will be over the card side piece.  You do not want to put Stampin’ Dimensionals on the entire flower, as this will cause the dimensionals to show on the inside when you open the card.

This is how the card looks when you open it.  The top outside pieces are embossed with Glass & Garden Embossing Folder, and a White stamp pad is swiped over the flowers to give a white color.  A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Blooming Phrases Stamp Set is stamped in Memento Black ink on a scrap of Basic White cardstock, then adhered at the bottom of the inside panel.  The bottom two outside panels get two mats, one of Gorgeous Grape, the other Lost Lagoon.  The Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper is adhered over the Lost Lagoon mat.  Lift the Thinking of You piece to find out what is underneath.

The flowers at the top are fussy cut from Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper and then adhered at the top.  A flower from Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper is fussy cut and adhered at the bottom of the Basic White sentiment panel.  The two sentiments from Stampin’ Up! Love & Strength Stamp Set is stamped in Memento Black ink on Basic White cardstock. One is fussy cut and popped at the top between the two flowers, the other is stamped at the top of the Basic White piece and adhered to the card base over the Gorgeous Grape mat.

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

Stampin’ Up! Floral Impressions

Stampin’ Up! Floral Impressions

Happy Sunday, everyone.  I hope everyone is having a relaxing and fun Sunday doing whatever their heart desires.  To those who have to work on Sunday, thank you.  Today, in Georgia, we are enjoying a partly sunny day, which is much better than the rain we’ve had for the past two weeks.

This is a step fun fold card.  They can be easy to make.  Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom Dies are used in creating the card.  We had a stand-alone die set a few years ago that created beautiful cards. I will put a link below for that card.

Step card cuts

  • Strawberry Slush cardstock
    • card base – 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” score at 3”, 6”, and 7”
    • center step – 3” x 6” score at 4-1/2”
  • Basic White cardstock
    • card base mat — 2-3/4” x 5-1/4”
    • card base step mat — ¾” x 5”
    • center step mat – 2-3/4” x 4”
    • inside panel — 2-1/2″ x 5-1/4″
    • oval — 2-3/4″ x 3-3/4″
  • Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper
    • card base – 2-1/2” x 5”
    • card base step mat – ½” x 4-3/4”
    • center step mat – 2-1/2” x 3-3/4”
    • oval card front — 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
  1. Add the 2-3/4″ x 5-1/4″ Basic White mat to the card base.  Add the 2-3/4″ x 4″ Basic White mat to the center step. Add the 3/4″ x 5″ Basic White strip to the card base step.
  2. Next, add the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper to the Basic White mats.
  3. Attach the long portion of the center step to the card front using adhesive of choice, I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
  4. Attach the short end to the back of the card, putting glue only on the bottom of the short end.  If you put it all over the short end, you will not be able to open your card.
  5. Stamp a greeting in Memento Black ink on the Basic White oval using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Comforting Thoughts Stamp Set.
  6. Looking at the above card, arrange the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper die-cut flowers around the Basic White oval.
  7. Adhere a 2-1/2″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White to the inside of the card base.
  8. Add one of the Stampin’ Up! die-cut flowers to the lower corner.
  9. A Basic White envelope gets a panel of Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Kiddin’ Around

Stampin’ Up! Kiddin’ Around

This was a fun card to create.  It is also a fun fold Z fold.  The Just  Kiddin’ Designer Series Paper made for a fun creating.  I also used the Stampin’ Up! Kiddin’ Around stamp set.

My card base is Pool Party card stock. As this is a Z-fold card, I started with a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of card stock, scoring at 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4″.  Fold the card as you would a regular card, then fold into a mountain fold. It will be mountain fold for the first fold and the regular fold is a valley fold.  I used Pretty Peacock card stock to create the mats for the Just  Kiddin’ Designer Series Paper.  You can find the card cuts at the end of this post.  In the package of  Just Kiddin’  Designer Series Paper there are 2 pieces of the Designer Series Paper that can be cut into sections to create a scene.  I used two of the sections to create my card.

A castle is die cut from another pattern of Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper, two others are cut from Smoky Slate card stock.  The three are adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue then adhered to the third panel where the sentiment is stamped on the Basic White panel in Pretty Peacock ink. A flag is die cut  three times using Kiddin’ Around Dies. They are adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, then colored using Poppy Parade and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. 

One of the kids from the Designer Series Paper is fussy cut and popped on the panel in front of the castle.  The boy’s hat,  some of the books, the flags at the top of each panel, the dragon’s tongue, the  blocks on the top shelf of the book case and the apple on the trees are brushed with Wink of Stella.

This is another view of the card.  I stamped the girl from Stampin’ Up! Kiddin’ Around stamp set in Memento Black and colored using Balmy Blue, Poppy Parade, Tahitian Tide, Crumb Cake  Stampin’ Blends Markers and one of the Blends for flesh color.  I then die cut the girl and popped her on the stool that has been die cut from a piece of Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper (free during Sale-a-Bration with qualifying order).

A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Kiddin’ Around stamp set is stamped on a piece of Basic White card stock in Pretty Peacock ink.  It is matted on a piece of Pretty Peacock card stock and adhered to the card front. Only half of the panel has Multipurpose Liquid Glue applied.  If it was applied to the entire piece, it would glue the panel to the card and it could not be opened.  Stars are die cut from pieces of Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper and popped around the greeting panel. 

This is the back of the card for space for writing a note or just signing your card.  Another scene is created on the left panel.  The boy and girl are fussy cut from a panel of Just Kiddin’  Designer Series Paper.

The belly band is a piece of Pool Party card stock with a piece of Just Kiddin’ Designer Series Paper over it.  A boy and girl are fussy cut from a panel of the Designer Series Paper and popped on the front of the belly band.  Iridescent Rhinestones are popped in the corners.

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

Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow — Blessings

Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow — Blessings

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow Dies, Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings stamp set, Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper, and Distress Tile 3D Embossing Folder.

I am entering the Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge for this card.

I am also entering the NBUS Challenge for this card.

The card base is Basic White card stock with a panel of the same embossed using Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder.  This embossed piece of card stock is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Three strips of Joy of Christmas Designer Series paper is cut and adhered over the embossed piece using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The flowers and greenery are die cut from Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow Dies.  They are colored with Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green, Shaded Spruce and Stary Sky Stampin Blends Markers.  A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessing stamp set is stamped in Memento Black ink on a piece of Basic White card stock, then trimmed to the size needed.  The greeting is popped over the designer series paper using Stampin’ Dimensionals.   The flowers and greenery are arranged around the greeting using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Sequins from Adhesive Backed Sequin Trio are popped on the card front.

I left the sentiment panel blank to write a note but added a bit of Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper and a few stems of flowers.

A Basic White envelope gets two strips of Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper added to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I used the two strips to match the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures

Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures

After the death of our son, my husband having a TIA and scaring me so,  both of us having a respiratory infection and now my husband’s favorite, mine also, is on her way to heaven.  She is 100, will be 101 in December.  We can’t go see her because of our sickness, so I am happy to be able to finally make a card and blog. It has taken me a few days to get this finished but I was at least giving it a go.

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Stamp Set and Dies.  The greeting is from the same stamp set.  The sentiments are from Stampin’ Up! Scenic Wonders Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Wildlife Wonder Stamp Set.

I am entering Creative Creases Challenge for this card.  They are always a fun fold and my card is a fun fold.

 

I started with a 5-1/4″ x 8-3/4″ piece of Pretty Peacock card stock.  I scored at 3-1/2″ and 5-1/4″.  On the left side come in 1-3/4″ from the edge of the card stock and score down 1-3/4″.  The card stock around so the lower right corner of the card stock is now on the top left, come in 1-3/4″ and scorn down 1-3/4″  The score line will be almost all the way to the 3″ x 3″ card.  I find it easier to score by adhering the 3″ x 3″ card and the 3″ x 3″ mat before scoring.

This is how the card base looks after it is cut and folded.  You can see the directions above.

This is a picture of the placement of the 1-3/4″ x 1-3/4″ squares. And the placement of the 3′ x 3″ card and mat on the right side

I used Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper for my 1-3/4″ squares.  I embossed the squared using Timber 3D Embossing Folder.  I also embossed the  2-7/8″ square.

I stamped in Crumb Cake ink the greeting and sentiments on  Earthen Elegance Designer Series paper along with the  wispy branches.

I die cut the Xs  and some of the branches in the urns from Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper.  The urns are die cut from Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper and Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper.  Part of one urn is stamped with Pretty Peacock ink on a piece of the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper.

This is how the card looks when it is finished and standing.  Sequins from Adhesive Backed Sequins Trio are popped around the card.  Pictures of this card doesn’t show the real beauty of it.  I have had that happen several times, when a picture is not beautiful like the card.

I added two panel on the back of the card in case I want to write a longer message than would fit on the 3″ card on the front.

I stamped in Crumb Cake in the wispy branches from Stampin’ Up! Earthen Texture Stamp Set on the square envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you took the time to linger and look at my other blog post and cards and that 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. Feel free to CAS(E) any card. Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me.

CUSTOM, MATCHING BOX!

What’s better than a box full of crafts you can use to express your love and gratitude? How about the kit packaged in a custom, matching box that’s just as beautiful? The With Love & Gratitude comes with a custom box you can use to store all kinds of things: your finished treat packages and cards, crafting supplies, or you can fill it individual notes with all the reasons you have to be grateful—write each one down and fill up the box, then pull out a note of inspiration whenever you it!

ADD-ON JOURNAL WITH GOLD-FOIL STICKERS 

Why save gratitude for special days when you can savor it every day by writing it down in an inspiring journal? The Thoughts of Thanks Journal is an add-on option featuring the same colors and elegant designs as the With Love & Gratitude Paper Pumpkin Kit. It also comes with two specialty gold foil sticker sheets to accent the journal pages and help remind us of all the reasons to be grateful. If you’re excited about this beautiful add-on journal, don’t wait to get yours! It’s only available while supplies last.
