Stampin’ Up! Lighting The Way — Thanks

June 23, 2023 admin

I get the honor of being a guest designer for the Creative Creases Challenge for this challenge. I hope you will have the time to enter this challenge. To enter you can click on the link or the logo.

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Lighting The Way stamp set. This card is a faux step card.

I am entering the NBUS Challenge as I have never used this stamp set before. It is one of the stamp sets I bought just before the 2023 Mini Catalog ended.

Following is the pieces you need to cut to create the card.

Orchid Oasis card stock
- card base — 4-1/4′ x 10″ Score at 1″ and 2″ for the small step, then score 4-1/4″
- center step — 3″ x 8-1/2″ score at 5-1/2″
Basic White card stock
- background mat — 4″ x 4-1/8″
- mat center panel — 2-7/8″ x 5-1/4″
- inside panel — 3-7/8″ x 4″
- fireflies — 4″ x 4″
Stargazing Designer Series Paper
- background — 3-7/8″ x 4″
- center panel — 2-3/4″ x 5-1/8″
Bronze Foil
- lantern — 3″ x 3-3/4″

It is easier to put the mat and designer series paper on the card if you adhere while it is flat. I stamped fireflies in Orchid Oasis ink and Crush Curry ink. I then die cut the fireflies using a die from Lighting The Way Dies. I die cut the lantern from a piece of Bronze Foil using the lantern die from Lighting The Way Dies. I centered the front center piece adhering to the bottom using Tear & Tape, then adhered the back flap using Tear & Tape.

I stamped the sentiment in Orchid Oasis ink on a Basic White card stock panel. I also stamped a firefly and swish in Orchid Oasis ink. I stamped the lighting tail in Crush Curry ink. I adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

This is a side view of the card.

A Basic White envelope get a panel of the Stargazing Designer Series Paper applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

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!

Stampin’ Up! Around The Bend Thank You

January 3, 2023 custom

The card I am sharing today is one you can create in a few minutes if you are in need of a quick card. The Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper (free with $50 purchase starting January 5) does all the work in creating a quick, easy, and beautiful card. You can do a few tweaks to add to the beauty of the card. I used, the Timeworn Type 3-D Embossing Folder, Stitched Rectangle Dies, Starry Sky Metallic Woven 1/8″ Ribbon, Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels, and Wink of Stella.

I am entering the Use Your Stuff Challenge. Their theme for this challenge is Stitching Faux or Real. As my art piece is cropped using Stitched Rectangle Dies that can be Faux Stitches.

A Starry Sky card stock base is used with a panel of the same card stock embossed using the Timeworn Type 3-D Embossing Folder. The panel is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. A panel of Basic White card stock is used along with another panel of Starry Sky card stock as mats for the art panel, which is a panel of Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper, (available January 5 free as a Sale-A-Bration item with a $50 purchase before shipping and taxes.

A Starry Sky Metallic Woven 1/8″ Ribbon is used to create a bow that is popped at the top of the art piece. Several Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels are scattered around the card front. A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Around The Bend stamp set is stamped in Starry Sky ink in the center of the art piece.

A swath of flowers from Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper is fussy cut and adhered to the side of the inside panel left blank for a note as this is a thank you card. The Basic White panel is then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue

A Basic White medium envelopes get a panel of Dainty Floral Designer Series Paper added to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Country Floral Lane

January 2, 2023 custom

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set, Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments stamp set, Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shape Dies, Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder, Wintry 3D Embossing Folder, and Very Best Trio Punch.

I am entering the Alphabet Challenge. Their theme for this challenge is T for Thank You.

My card base is Balmy Blue card stock with a panel Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper matted on a piece of Basic White card stock then adhered to the card base. A second piece of the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper in a different pattern is cut at an angle, matted on Balmy Blue card stock, then matted on a piece of Basic White card stock, and adhered to the right side of the card front.

A piece of Basic White card stock is punched on each corner using the Very Best Trio Punch, then embossed using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. It is popped on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Hearts from Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set are stamped in Balmy Blue and Mint Macaron on a piece of Basic White card stock. Instead of punching the hearts out, I fussy-cut them. I punched a heart out of a white piece of glimmer paper from Real Red & White 6″ x 6″ Glimmer Paper. I colored the heart using a Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blends Marker. Let me just say I ruined my marker.

Leaves and a heart are punched from Vellum using the Country Floral Punch, they are then embossed using the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder. The greeting is stamped in Mint Macaron ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock and cropped using a die from Stylish Shapes Dies. It is popped on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Gems from Fine Sparkle Adhesive Back Gems are popped around the card front.

A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments stamp set is stamped in Balmy Blue ink on a Basic White panel and a heart from Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set is stamped in Balmy Blue and Mint Macaron ink.

A Basic White medium envelopes get a panel of Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper added to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets By My Side with Cottage Rose

December 20, 2022 custom

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! By My Side stamp set, Cottage Rose stamp set, Framed Florets Dies, and Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper. My cards are a CAS of one Mary Deatherage created several weeks ago. You can find a tutorial and a short video showing how this card is made. She made hers to be a holder for a Sticky Note pad. I could never get it to work with the sticky notepads after several tries, so mine became cards instead.

Cut a piece of Soft Succulent card stock 3-1/4″ x 8-1/2″ scoring at 4-1/4″ & 6-3/8″. The score lines are folded in the same direction so as to create the easel. Cut mats and Designer Series Paper 1/8″ smaller for both. You can see this in the picture above. I used Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper, but you can use whatever Designer Series Paper you wish.

I cropped an oval from a piece of Basic White card stock using one of the oval dies from the Framed Florets Dies. I fussy cut flowers from a panel of the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper. I cropped a sprig from Soft Succulent card stock and leaves from Basic White card stock and from Gold Glimmer paper. I cut a piece of Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper matting it on a panel of Melon Mambo card stock. I then adhered to the fold of the easel using Tear & Tape.

The flowers, leaves, and sprig are arranged around the oval and adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals. Polished Pink Dots are scattered around the card front. I used Wink of Stella on the flowers, though it does show up in the photos. A greeting from Stampin’ Up! By My Side stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a Basic White card stock scrap, trimmed and adhered to the card front inside the oval.

This is a picture of the three cards I made using different patterns of Designer Series Paper from the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper. It shows the sentiment that also serves as the stop for the easel. The sentiment is stamped on a piece of Basic White card stock in Memento Black ink, fussy cut then matted on a piece of Melon Mambo card stock. Stampin’ Dimensionals are added to the back and the piece is placed on the inside of the card to create the stop for the easel.

A Basic White medium envelope gets a panel of Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper adhered to the flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Pretty Birds

September 29, 2022 custom

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.
