Stampin’ Up! By My Side Sweet Friend Card

August 27, 2022 custom

The card I am sharing today is a fun fold. I used the August Paper Pumpkin stamp set and the Stampin’ Up! By My Side stamp set.

I am entering the Cardz 4 Galz Challenge for today. Their theme is Anything Goes.

My card is a case of Lisa Curico’s Angled Tri-Fold. Click on her name and it will take you to her video showing how the card is made. I started with a Mossy Meadow card stock card base. I used two envelopes from the August Paper Pumpkin Sweet Sunflowers as my Designer Series Paper.

I used the sunflower stamp from the August Paper Pumpkin Sweet Sunflowers to create my sunflowers. I first stamped them using Stazon Ink. I let it dry well before water coloring using Blackberry Bliss ink and a Water Painter. I stamped the leaves in Mossy Meadow ink and then colored using a Granny Apple Green and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Marker. The sunflowers centers are stamped using So Saffron ink.

This is the first fold open. This sentiment comes from the Stampin’ Up! By My Side stamp set. It is stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink.

I stamped the twigs on the edge of the Basic White card stock panel in Mossy Meadow and Blackberry Bliss ink. I then adhered the flap of an envelope from one of the envelopes in the August Paper Pumpkin Sweet Sunflowers. The sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! By My Side stamp set.

A medium Basic White envelope gets twigs stamped in Mossy Meadow ink to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Rustic Harvest Autumn Wishes

August 3, 2022 custom

The card I am sharing today is created using Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper. The greeting is from Stampin’ Up! Fond of Autumn stamp set. The embossing folder is the Timbers 3D Embossing Folder.

My challenge for today is with the NBUS Challenge. The item I am using that has never been used before is the Rustic Harvest DSP.

I started with a card base of Merry Merlot card stock. I embossed a panel of the same using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the panel to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I also embossed a panel of Basic White card stock with the same embossing folder and adhered it over the Merry Merlot embossed panel.

I fussy cut the pumpkins, squash, leaves, and acorns. I colored the leaves and acorns using a Crumb Cake, Pumpkin Pie, and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the Twigs and Sprigs Embossing Folder and embossed a panel of Basic White card stock, cropping the pieces after stamping. This may be one of those embossing folders and dies that cut and emboss at the same time but I did not think of that until I had finished the process.

I arranged all the fussy cut pieces on the embossed Basic White panel, took a picture so I would remember how it was arranged. I adhered the pieces down using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a double loop bow and popped it on the card. I popped three sequins from a Paper Pumpkin I believe on the card front.

A panel of Basic White gets pumpkins adhered in the lower right corner then it is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

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

Card cuts are at the end of this post.

Stampin’ Up! Pretty Prints

The card I am sharing today is a combination of Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose stamp set for the sentiment, Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles for the greeting, Pretty Prints DSP for the background, and Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Print Dies for the wreath.

Inspiration for my card design is the challenge at the Global Design Project.

I decided to be different and let the Designer Series Paper be the card base. I used a panel of the Blackberry Bliss from Pretty Prints DSP as the base.

I adhered a panel of the Pretty Prints DSP to a Basic White card stock mat, then adhered them to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cropped two wreaths from Basic White card stock using the wreath die from Nature’s Print Dies. I adhered them together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, then popped the wreath on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I colored a few Pearl Basic Jewels with a Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blends Marker and popped them around the card front along with several white pearls. The greeting is from Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles stamp set and is stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock and cropped using a die from the Sending Dies.

A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose stamp set is stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink on a panel of Basic White card stock. A short piece of the Pretty Prints DSP is applied down the side of the panel.

A medium Basic White envelope gets DSP from Pretty Prints DSP applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

My card is a CAS of Terry Lynn Bright, a team member. I saw her card a week or so ago and knew I wanted to make one.
