Stampin’ Up! Paper Florist — Love & Big Hugs!

Stampin’ Up! Paper Florist — Love & Big Hugs!

 

I believe this is my favorite item in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.  The card I am sharing today is created using it  – Stampin’ Up! Paper Florist Dies.  They are stand-alone dies meaning there is no stamp set it goes with to create a bundle.  I am excited thinking of making more card with these die.  I also used Timeworn Tiles 3D Embossing Folder and the Stripes Folder from Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folders.

I am inspired by the sketch design for the As You See It Challenge.

 

I am inspired by the optional theme of the Can You Handle The Pressure Challenge — butterflies.

My card base is Basic White card stock.  I embossed a panel of the same using Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.  I adhered this to the Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Next, I cut a piece of Basic White card stock 1-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ and embossed it using the Stripes Embossing Folder from the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folders.  This piece of embossed card stock is adhered down the middle of the Timeworn Type 3D embossed panel using Multipurpose Glue again.  I cut a circle frame from Basic White card stock also, using the two largest dies from Stylish Shapes Dies.  The negative piece left will make a nice piece for a later card.  The circle frame is popped over the Stripes embossed piece using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

This is a close up of the card so you can see the embossing on both the Timeworn Type panel and the Stripes piece down the middle of the card.

The flowers are die cut from Balmy Blue, Basic White, Daffodil Delight, Bubble Bath, Mango Melody, Orchid Oasis, Pretty Peacock, and Real Red card stock.  The leaves are die cut from Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, and Shaded Spruce card stock.  The flowers and greenery are arranged around the Basic White circle then adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The greeting is from Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles stamp set and is stamped in Memento Black ink on a piece of Basic White card stock then die cut with a die from Cheerful Daisies Dies.  Adhesive Backed Sequins are popped around the card front.

A Basic White envelope gets a bunch of flowers from Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Poppies stamp set stamped on the envelope flap in Memento Black ink. It is colored using Real Red, Orchid Oasis, Bubble Bath, and Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends Markers. I used this retired set because there is no DSP or stamp set to use that goes with the dies.

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. Have a blessed day!

DAINTY DELIGHT W/HAPPY HEDGEHOG FENCE EASEL FUN FOLD FOR THE SU DEMOS FUN FOLDS BLOG HOP

DAINTY DELIGHT W/HAPPY HEDGEHOG FENCE EASEL FUN FOLD FOR THE SU DEMOS FUN FOLDS BLOG HOP

Welcome to our Blog Hop!

We have a great lineup of talented crafters for you today, who enjoy creating fun folds.  If you love fun folds, I am hoping you find inspiration and enjoyment so much that you will be inspired to join us next time.  You are in for a treat with all the talented demonstrators participating. You can find that list   located at the end of the post about my card creation.  

The card I am sharing today for our Blog Hop is created using Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight stamp set and Dies and greeting and sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles stamp set.  An embossing folder from Basic 3D Embossing Folders.

I cut a piece of Basic White card stock 5-1/2″ x 11″.  I scored at 2-3/4″ and 7″.  The other marking in the above diagram are pencil markings instead of hard scoring.  You should watch Terri Gaines video. Click on her name and it will take you to her PDF and video. She gives great instruction about creating the fence.  She also gives a great tip about keeping the fence post even.  The 2-3/4″ is a mountain fold and the 7″ is a valley fold.

To create the fence and fence post, I cut (6) strips of card stock 1/2″ x 2-1/2″ for the post, each post gets 2 pieces and (3) fence rails 1/2″ x 5-1/2″.  I die cut daisies from Daffodil Delight card stock using the daisy dies from Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies Dies.  The vine is another die from the same set and is die cut in Garden Green and Granny Apple Green card stock.    The bird and butterfly are from Stampin’ Up! Happy Hedgehog stamp set.  They are stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink and colored using Daffodil Delight, Balmy Blue, and Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends Markers. Die cut (3) pieces of grass from Garden Green card stock using a die from Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons stamp set.

One piece of the grass goes on the panel that has the easel stopper.  Another piece goes on the bottom of the card so when the card is closed grass will show through the fence.  The last piece is adhered to upper section of the easel panel so grass shows through the fence.  A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a Basic White card stock scrap, matted on a small piece of Garden Green card stock, and adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Daisies are popped around the sentiment.

A Basic White envelope gets a greeting and greenery from Stampin’ Up! Around The Bend stamp set stamped on the envelope flap in Garden Green ink.

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.

I am entering the Tic, Tac, Toe Challenge for this card.  I choose the top row.

I started with a Basic White  card stock base cut 4-1/4″ x 11″. I then scored the piece at 2-1/8″ and 5-1/2″.  I folded and creased well.  The mountain fold of the 2-1/8″ piece because the piece you attach the card front to using adhesive of your choice.  I used Tear & Tape.

I then layered these together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  To the last panel of Moody Mauve, I added a panel cut from Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper.

I stamped a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles stamp set on a scrap of Basic White card stock using Tuxedo Memento Black ink.  I then die cut the greeting out using a die from Sending Smiles Dies.  I popped it on the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I colored Rhinestone Basic Jewels using a Dark Moody Mauve Stampin’ Blends Marker.

 

I die cut a daisy from Basic White, Bubble Bath, and Moody Mauve card stock. I layered and popped on the inside Moody Mauve card stock panel embossed using a embossing folder from Basic 3 D Embossing Folders.  I added leaves left over from another card.  I popped two Rhinestone Basic Jewels colored using a Dark Moody Mauve Stampin’ Blends Markers.  This daisy is the stop for the easel.

Stampin’ Up! Queen Bee Hello

Stampin’ Up! Queen Bee Hello

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Queen Bee stamp set and the Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home stamp set.  This is a card I saw from Brandy Cox.

This challenge goes well with my card today, as there are always lots of bees in the Spring.

I am also entering the Creative Creases Challenge as it is always a fun fold and my card is a fun fold today.

I started with a piece of Basic White card stock 8-1/2″ x 11″  scored at 4-1/4″ on the short side and 5-1/2″ on the long side.  On the 8-1/2″ side cut down the score line to the 5-1/2″ score line. The piece cut out can be used to cut the 2-1/2 x 3″ piece for the inside sentiment.  This will be the card base. I stamped the Queen Bee from Stampin’ Up! Queen Bee stamp set in Versa Mark, sprinkled Gold Embossing Powder and heat embossed using a heat tool.  I cropped the bee using a die from Queen Bee Dies.  I stamped in Mossy Meadow ink the flower spray from Stampin’ Up!  Queen Bee stamp set.  I used Old Olive and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Markers to color.  I cropped flowers, twigs, sprigs, and leaves from Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home stamp set from Old Olive and Mossy Meadow card stock.  I cropped one leaves bunch from Distressed Gold Specialty Paper.   I stamped a bee from Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home stamp set and colored using Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Marker.  All of these will be arranged on the card front and inside once the card base is finished.

  1.  Cut 3-1/4″ off the bottom of the card front.  From the piece cut off, cut five 1/2″ x 4-1/4″ strips.  Cut the strip that is left in half, this gives you two strips that will be used to anchor the other strips together. 
  2.   With the sticky side out adhere a piece of Washi Tape to the middle of the card front so you can position the strips on the card front.
  3. Start at the bottom for the first strip, next place a strip at the top, leaving a space between the strip and the card base.  Place a strip in the middle. 
  4. Wait until you have all the strips positioned before pressing down on the tape. If you need to adjust the space between the strips it will be easier to do if they are not stuck tight to the Washi Tape.
  5. Place a dot of Liquid Glue on each strip and place one of the two strips left over the glue and press down.     I waited until I had both strips in place so I could adjust if necessary.
  6. Turn the over so the Washi Tape is showing and gently remove the tape. Pressing down on each strip as you pull the tape will help prevent tearing the card stock.
  7. This is how the card front looks after you have finished with all the strips and trimming the excess from the bottom of the card.

I cut a 3-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of Daffodil Delight card stock and stamped it in Cajun Craze ink using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Queen Bee stamp set.  I  scored the piece at 4-1/4″ and cut from the score line to the corner, then wrapped the piece around the card front into the inside.  This is for a gift card or whatever you choose to place in the pocket.

I cut a piece of Mossy Meadow card stock 3-18″ x 3-7/8″ for a mat for the 2-1/2″ x 3″ Basic White piece.  On the Basic White piece, I stamped a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink.  These are adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then adhered to the card base using the same.

I stamped a strip of Daffodil Delight card stock in Cajun Craze ink using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Queen Bee stamp set.  I adhered the strip to a Medium Basic White envelope and trimmed the excess from the 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.
