Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms

Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms

The card I am sharing with you today is created using Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms stamp set, Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder, and Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper.  This is a CAS of Lisa Curcio’s fun fold card.  I would suggest watching Lisa’s YouTube video for great instructions.

I am entering Four Seasons Challenge — This is the time of year for their challenge to be Spring Anything Goes.

I am also entering Pammie’s Inkie Pinkies Challenge.

I am also entering the Tic Tac Toe Challenge.  I am choosing the middle row down.

I stamped the flowers on a piece of Shimmery White card stock using Merry Merlot ink, then Versa Mark and Clear Embossing Powder.  I heat embossed using a heat tool.  I then fussy cut the flowers and colored using Merry Merlot ink.  There are flowers here and inside the card.  The leaves are stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink (soon to be retired). I die-cut a heart from Basic White card stock, embossing using the Splatters die from Stripes and Splatters 3-D Embossing Folders.  I put Stampin’ Seal on the back of the heart and wrapped the scalloped piece of Merry Merlot around the heart.  Oh! yes, it was such fun trying to do that so it would not crinkle up. Iridescent Rhinestone Jewels are popped around the card front.

My card base is Merry Merlot card stock (soon to be retired).  I am giving the card cuts here instead of at the end of the post so you will know what to cut to make it easier.  If you want mats for the Designer Series Paper cut the Designer Series Paper 1/8″ smaller than the dimensions I give to be able to cut a mat. 

  • Card Base — 5-1/2″ x 11″   score at 4″ & 8-1/16″ that’s correct 1/16.  It is the first mark  8″.
    • Designer Series Paper left side front — 2-3/4″ x 5-3/8″
    • Designer Series Paper inside middle — 3-3/4″ x 5-1/4″
  • Card — 4-1/2″ x 7″  score at 3-1/2″
    • Designer Series Paper — 3-3/8″ x 4-3/8″
    • Inside Panel for sentiment — 2-5/8″ x 3-3/4″
  • Panel for Pocket
    • Merry Merlot card stock — 3-3/8″ x 4-7/8″
    • Designer Series Paper — 3-1/4″ x 4-3/4″

Adhere a piece of Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper to the outside left.  This panel will be folded in.

The card base is 5-1/2″ x 11″ scored at 4″ and 8-1/16″, once scored turn the card base around so the narrow panel is on the left.  This is the panel above that you adhered Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper.  Fold the right side panel in and put glue on the outside edge and along the bottom. Fold this panel in adhering to the middle panel.  You can see the Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper behind the small card that is adhered after you adhere to the middle panel. After adhering the Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper, adhere the small Merry Merlot card stock card using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A piece of Merry Merlot is cut and a piece of Awash in Beauty is adhered to it using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  One of the flowers is adhered to the corner of the piece.  This is the insert for the pocket. You can use to adhere a gift card or even write a note as this is what this one will be.

Basic White medium envelope gets a piece of Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Adorable Owls

Stampin’ Up! Adorable Owls

The card I am sharing today is created using a FREE Sale-A-Bration item.  These  Stampin’ Up! Adorable Owls are yours for free with a $50 order.  We all like free.  I also used Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper.  

I am entering the Creative Creases Challenge as my card can be considered a fun fold.

My card is a CAS of a fun fold Tami White created.  My card base is Mossy Meadow card stock.  Cut a piece of Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper and adhered to the card base front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

After applying the Designer Series Paper crop the opening in the card as you see above.  You can use any die of your choice for the opening.  Save the piece you crop out.  I used mine as the insert for the owl.

To create the Z-fold insert  cup a piece of Mossy Meadow 6″ x 4-1/2″ scoring at 2″ and 4″.  Before scoring adhere a 4″ x 5-3/4″  panel of Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper, then score.  Using Tear and Tape on the right-side panel adhered the panel to the card base.  A panel of Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper is also applied to the inside of the card, then the Z-fold panel is adhered over it to the card base.

Stamp one of the owl images from Stampin’ Up! Adorable Owls in Memento Black ink on a piece of Basic White card stock.  Color the image using Stampin’ Blends Markers or your favorite coloring products. I used Bronze, Crumb Cake, Balmy Blue, Petal Pink and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers.  Fussy cut the owl.t

I adhered the owl using Stampin’ Dimensionals to the piece I had cropped from the card front. I then popped the piece on the Z-fold using Stampin’ Dimensionals also.  Be sure to only put dimensionals on the part of the insert that will be adhered to the Z-fold.

Cut a piece of Basic White card stock 3″ x 3-1/2 and score at 1-1/2″ on the 3″ side.  This is for your sentiment.  My sentiment is from Stampin’ Up! Through This Together stamp set and is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink.

Basic White medium envelopes get a panel of  Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper added to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Pretty Birds

Stampin’ Up! Pretty Birds

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Pretty Birds Stamp Set and Birdhouse Dies.  This is a beautiful card.  My card is a CAS of one of my team members Karen Hickam Ilsley

It took me all day to figure out how to create it but I finally was happy on the fourth try of what I created.  There are a few things Karen has that I did not even notice until I looked at her card again when I started to post this.

My card base is Basic White card stock and Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper as the background.  The bird cages are Coastal Cabana card stock.  I used Silver Foil to crop the bird swings, also I used the negative portion of the bird swing as the mirror.  I used a piece of window sheet to adhere the bird cages too.  Flowers from Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper are fussy cut and adhered to the card front.  One of the birds is popped over one bunch of flowers.

The birds are colored using Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide,Crumb Cake, Pale Papaya,and Fresh Freesa Stampin’ Blends Markers. The birds are then cropped and popped on the card front.

I am entering the Tic, Tac Toe Challenge.  I choose Leaves, Fun Fold, and Ink Blending.

 

This is how the card looks when folded.  This is one of those cards you make for your own pleasure, not give to someone.  I am sure any person receiving it would consider it a real treasure.  I, also, did not put a greeting or sentiment on the card as it isn’t going to anyone.

I prepared no envelope with Designer Series Paper as this card will not be given to anyone.

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.

Stampin’ Up! Floral Heart with Eden’s Garden

Stampin’ Up! Floral Heart with Eden’s Garden

I used the Stampin’ Up! Eden’s Garden stamp set and Floral Dies to create the card I am sharing today.  Have you ever found that sometimes the simplest card can cause the most difficulties?I am entering the Inspire Create Challenge for this card.  I love creating cards with layers that are not straight.

I am also entering the Pinspirational Challenge. The challenge is to use the quote as inspiration or to use the colors in the picture, totally our choice!!

My card base is Pool Party. I cut a panel of Rich Razzleberry for the mat for my panel Sweet Talk DSP.  I adhered this to the card base at an angle.

Using a Bermuda Bay leftover panel from the August 2021 Paper Pumpkin, I added it over the already angled panel on the card front.  I angled it in the opposite direction.  You can use Bermuda Bay card stock for this panel or color a panel of Basic White card stock with Bermuda Bay ink and spray water over it to get the droplet effect.

I cropped the heart from a panel of Basic White card stock using the large heart die from the Floral Heart Dies.  I popped this over the Bermuda Bay panel using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The greeting is from the Stampin’ Up! Eden’s Garden stamp set, stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink and popped inside the heart using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels are scattered around the card front.

For the inside of the card, I angled the panels the way the card front is angled.  I added little hearts down the side coloring each one in a color of the Pinspirational Challenge.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Sweet Talk DSP applied to the envelope flap.

If you would like to create this card all the products used are in the post instead of at the end of the post as they usually are.

Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips A Little Note

Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips A Little Note

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tullip stamp set.  I also use a die from the Ornate Frame Dies, the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder,  and Flowering Tulips DSP.

My challenge for the day is the Krafty Chicks Challenge.

My card base is Basic White card stock.  I embossed a panel of Poppy Parade card stock using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder adhering it to the card base.

A strip of Flowering Fields DSP is cut and adhered down the left side over the embossed panel. A piece of Basic White card stock is cropped using a die from the Ornate Frame Dies. It is adhered over the Flowering Fields DSP.

On a piece of Basic White card stock tulip images from the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulip stamp set is stamped in Poppy Parade, Blushing Bride, Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive, and Early Espresso ink.  As each flower was stamped, I stamped Versa Mark over the image, sprinkled Clear Embossing Powder over the image, and heat embossed.  I did this to give the tulips a bit of a shine, you can see it in some of the pictures.  This piece is matted on Old Olive card stock and popped over the Ornate Frame panel with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Crumb Cake twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack is wrapped around the panel before it is adhered.  A tiny tag from the Tailor Made Tags is stamped with a greeting and tied with the end of the twine and a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional is used to pop the tag up.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Flowering Fields DSP applied to the envelope flap.
