Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature — Hello

Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature — Hello

The card I am sharing today is created using one of my favorite stamp sets,  Spotlight On Nature Stamp Set.  I also, use Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves and Sketched Butterflies Stamp Sets.  

You can see how I colored this card, by clicking this link,  It will take you to a previous post that shows the prep for coloring  since it is colored on Crumb Cake cardstock.

These are the card cuts:

  • Basic White cardstock
    • card base — 5-1/2′ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″
    • mat for art piece — 2-3/4″ x 4″
    • greeting strip — 3/4″ x 4″
    • inside panel — 4″ 5-1/4″

    • inside strip — 3/4″ x 5-1/4″
  • Crumb Cake cardstock
    • art piece — 2-5/8″ x 3-7/8″

  1. Start with the Soft Seafoam cardstock as they have to be preped to because DSP.  Using the stamp that looks like a bunch of  hashtags put all together  and the little dots stamp, and using Pretty Peacock  ink create your background by stamping over the piece for the card front, the piece for inside, and the strip for the inside.
  2. Cut a piece of Crumb Cake, then will become the art piece when the stamping and coloring are complete.
  3. On the Crumb Cake piece, stamp the flowers from Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature Stamp Set in Versa Mark ink.
  4. Sprinkle White Embossing Powder over the Versa Mark and heat set using a heat tool.
  5. Color the flowers and leaves using White Craft ink and a Water Painter.  You can see how that looks on a previous blog by clicking the link to the post.  Let the White Craft ink dry well before coloring with other colors.
  6. Use Gorgeous Grape and Granny Apple Green inks and a Water Painter to color the flowers.
  7. Stamp the HELLO greeting from Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Stamp Set in Memento Black in on a scrap of Basic White cardstock and bannerize one end.
  8. Make a Mary Deatherage bow using Linen Thread.
  9. Adhere the Soft Seafoam cardstock piece to the card base.
  10. Adhere the art piece to the Basic White mat using adhesive of choice.  I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue .
  11. Pop the art piece over the Soft Seafoam background piece using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  12. Pop the greeting over the bottom of the flowers.
  13. Adhere the bow using Glue Dots.
  14. Pop Iridescent Basic Pearls around the art piece.  That finishes the card front.
  15. Stamp a butterfly from Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies in Versa Mark ink.
  16. Sprinkle White Embossing Powder over the Versa Mark and heat emboss.
  17. Color the butterfly using Crushed Curry, Granny Apple Green, And Mossy Meadow inks and a Water Painter.
  18. Fussy Cut the butterfly.
  19. Stamp a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies Stamp Set in Memento Black ink on a Basic White panel.
  20. Adhere the other Soft Seafoam piece to the left inside card base using adhesive of choice.
  21. Adhere the sentiment panel over it using adhesive of choice.
  22. Pop the butterfly over the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  23. Stamp a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Stamp Set on a Basic White panel using Memento Black ink.
  24. Adhere the panel to the card base using adhesive of choice.
  25. Add the Soft Seafoam strip down the right side of the panel.
  26. A Basic White envelope gets a piece of Regals 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (I used a Gorgeous Grape piece) adhered to the envelope flap using adhesive of choice.

Stampin’ Up! Products Used In Creating This Card

 

 


Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love

Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love

The card shared today is created using Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Stamp Set and  elements from the April 2024 Paper Pumpkin.  I used this same design for a card previously, you can see it here.

I am entering these challenges:

NBUS Challenge #63   Never Before Used Schtuff

Pammie’s Inky Pinkies Challenge  

EllieBelle’s Corner Craft Challenge   

My card base is Pretty Peacock card stock cut 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scoring at 4-1/4″.  Open the card and on the 5-1/2″ side come down 2-3/4″ and score.  Cut through the score line over to the score line that is 4-1/4″ then from the top cut down the score line to the line you have just cut.  You will use this cut piece to emboss using Timber 3D Embossing Folder.  This piece will be adhered to the bottom of the front panel.  Tinsel Gems are popped around the card front.

Chose a butterfly piece and a gold piece from the April 2024 Paper Pumpkin, adhered the pieces together using Stampin Dimensionals.  Adhere the butterfly piece to the front panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Remember to put glue only on the bottom portion of the butterfly piece or you will glue it to the card and you will be unable to open.  Take a card from the Paper Pumpkin Kit and trim one of the panel to 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″  Adhere this panel to the inside of the card.  Take the other piece trimming to 2-1/2′ x 4″.  Adhere the piece to the inside of the card front.  Make a bow using the Pecan Pie Center Strip Ribbon which is an Online Exclusive.  Adhere to the bottom of the butterfly piece using a Glue Dot.

On a piece of Basic Beige cardstock, stamp sentiments from Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Stamp Set.  Stamp the HOPE, LOVE, and FAITH in Gold Embossing Powder.  Stamp the images with Versa Mark, sprinkling Gold Embossing Powder and  heat set using a heat tool.  Stamp the other three sentiments in Lost Lagoon ink.  The piece of Basic Beige cardstock is adhered to a Pretty Peacock cardstock mat.

An envelope from the April 2024 Paper Pumpkin is used instead of an envelope that must be decorated because as we all know, there is to be no naked envelopes!

Stampin’ Up! Products Used In Creating This Card

 

 

 

 

This is the April 2024 Paper Pumpkin that I used for the butterfly and background pieces.


Stampin’ Up! Grassy Grove

Stampin’ Up! Grassy Grove

I am using Stampin’ Up! In The Grove and Grassy Grove stamp set and In The Grove Dies along with Meandering Meadow Designer Series Paper and Garden Meadow Dies for the card I am sharing with you today.

The card base is Blueberry Bushel cardstock.  I stamped images from Stampin’ Up! Grassy Grove stamp set on a piece of Basic White cardstock to create the appearance of a hill.  I used Garden Green and Old Olive ink.  I stamped a deer from the stamp set in Crumb Cake ink and die cut using a die from Grove Dies. I die cut two baby deers from Basic White cardstock coloring using Basic Beige ink and a Blending Brush.

A fox and trees are stamped in Garden Green and Cajun Craze ink, die cut and put aside until the die cut trees are ready to be popped over the art piece.  The die cut trees are embossed using Timber 3D Embossing Folder before it is popped over the art piece using  Foam Adhesive Strips.  The die cut trees are adhered in the left lower corner.  Birds and Dragonflies from Adhesive Backed Dragonflies & Birds

A panel of Meandering Meadow Designer Series Paper is adhered to the inside panel of the card base.  A Basic White gate is die cut using a die from Garden Meadow Dies.  It is popped on the Meandering Meadow panel.  Two trees are also adhered to the panel.  Birds from Adhesive Backed Dragonflies & Birds are popped around the panel.

This is how the card looks standing.  

This is an overhead view of the card.

A Basic White cardstock panel is stamped with a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse stamp set.  A deer and trees are stamped, die cut and adhered to the corner of the panel.  

A Basic White envelope gets a scene like the envelope front stamped  to the envelope flap using Garden Green ink and Crumb Cake ink.

Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine

Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine

Good afternoon from bleak outside with the clouds and dampness that seems to get to your bones if you go outside.  It looks like rain any minute — again!  It has rained the weekend away.  We did add a bit of cheer by getting out yesterday in spite of the rain.  I dislike have to use an umbrella, so like the song I let keep raindrops falling on my head  instead of having to contend with an umbrella.

My card today is a bright and cheery one for a friend that has helped me so much in the last six months.  Sometimes you find out who is really a friend when the need arise. I was a bit surprised to say the least.  I used Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine stamp set along with Softly Sophisticated 3 D Embossing Folder and Most Adored Designer Series Paper.  The bee in this stamp set is very appropriate for this person.

I am joining the Festifriday Challenge.  I choose red, purple, Love sentiment, Hearts as my theme.

I am also joining the Krafty Chicks Challenge for this card.

  1. Start with a card base of Basic White cardstock.
  2. Cut a piece of Basic White card stock, the same size as the card front, embossing using Softly Sophisticated 3 D Embossing Folder.
  3. Add the embossed panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue or adhesive of your choice
  4. Cut a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock as a mat for the Most Adored Designer Series Paper with the heart pattern.
  5. Adhere the two together using adhesive of your choice.
  6. Using Stylish Shapes Dies, die cut circle from Gorgeous Grape, Real Red, and Basic White card stock.
  7. Stamp the BEE image from Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine stamp set. Use Crushed Curry ink and Memento Black ink as the colors.  If you would like your bee another color you can choose  colors of your choice.
  8.  Stamp the wings in Smoky Slate ink lightly brushing the wings with a Blending Brush, using Balmy Blue ink.
  9.  Die cut the wings for the BEE image, using the winds die.
  10. Stamp a greeting from the same stamp set in Gorgeous Grape and Real Red ink.  I stamped one in Gorgeous Grape and masked the other so I would only get the word SWEET in Real Red ink.
  11. Cut the word apart, see photo above, using paper snips.
  12. Die cut the word LOVE from the current Paper Pumpkin Dies. Die cut three extra adhering all four together.  Die cut the word YOU, using alphabet dies.
  13. Arrange all the elements onto the Basic White circle that is popped on the center of the Real Red circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  14. On a panel of Basic White cardstock stamp a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage stamp set in Real Red ink.  Stamp near the right edge.
  15. Stamp the three hearts from Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine stamp set in Real Red ink at the corner of the sentiment.
  16. Adhere the piece of Most Adored Designer Series Paper to a Gorgeous Grape mat, adhering to the left side of the sentiment panel.
  17. A Basic White medium envelope gets a piece of Most Adored Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
