Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty

Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty

The card I am sharing today is a CAS of one Mary Deatherage created a week or so ago.  Click her name and it will  you to her video.  She gives great instructions on making the card probably much better than written ones.

I am entering my card in Creative Creases Challenge.  

  • Start with a 4-1/4″ x 11″ piece of Pretty In Pink cardstock as the base.  Score at 5-1/2″ and 8-1/4″.  
  • Cut a piece of Country Woods Designer Series Paper 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″as a mat, adhere to the Pretty In Pink card base.
  • Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock 4″ x 10-1/2, score at 5-1/4″ to create the inside card.
  • Adhere the smaller card over the Country Woods panel. The Country Woods piece is a mat for this card.
  • Cut another piece of Country Woods Designer Series Paper same size as the first 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ 
  • Decorate the card front before adhering this piece to the Basic White cardstock.
  • Stamp in Smoky Slate ink the large flower image from Stampin’ Up! Layers Of Beauty Stamp Set 
  • Color using Stampin’ Blends Markers, Pretty In Pink, Bubble Bath , Lemon Lolly, Granny Apple Green, Old Olive, Smoky Slate.  I tried using the mask first but did not like the way it looked once finished, so I stamped another image and colored using Stampin’  Blends.
  • Once colored pop on the Country Woods piece on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals, Place the Dimensionals in the center of the flower image so there will be space for greenery around the outside edges of the image.
  • Using dies from Stampin’ Up! Layers Of Beauty Dies, die cut from Granny Apple Green, Old Olive, and Garden Green cardstock leaves for the flower image.
  • Tuck the leaves around the flower image, you can see placement in the picture above.
  • Pop Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins, I used the silver, and 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems, I used Pretty In Pink, around the card front.
  • Adhere the finished panel to the Basic White cardstock front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue or the adhesive of your choice.  I tried  putting a bow on the card front, but to me it just did not fit.  If you are making the card, it is your choice as to the bow, a bow may look beautiful on your card, but I felt it just did not fit.
  • Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock 2-1/2″ x 4″ .
  • Emboss using Dashing Design 3D Embossing Folder.
  • Adhere the embossed piece to a piece of Country Woods Designer Series Paper cut 2-5/8″ x 4-1/8″, then adhere to the bottom portion of the easel.
  • Cut a piece of Country Woods Designer Series Paper 1″ x 2-1/4″ for a mat for the greeting.
  • Stamp a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes Stamp Set in Night of Navy ink on a 7/8″ x 2-1/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock
  • Pop on the embossed piece using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Stamp a small flower image from Stampin’ Up! Layers Of Beauty Stamp Set in Smoky Slate ink. Stamp three.
  • Color using Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly and Pretty in Pink Stampin’ Blends.
  • Fussy Cut and pop one on the corner of the greeting using Multipurpose Liquid Glue of adhesive of choice.
  • Pop a 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gem on the opposite corner of the greeting.

Adhere the two remaining small flowers to the lower left corner of the inside panel of the Basic White card.  The card is left blank to write a message instead of stamping one.

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Journey — Thinking Of You

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Journey — Thinking Of You

The card I am sharing today is created using Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Coffee With Friends stamp set, Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes stamp set, Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse stamp set, and Spotlight On Nature Dies.  Don’t be shy about using more than one stamp set when creating a card.  You may see one part in one stamp set you like and another part in another stamp set.  I am probably well know for using greetings and sentiments from other stamp sets other than the one that features the focal part of the card front.  This is a card I saw of Susan Campfield’s.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:

Addicted To Stamps  — any occasion is the theme for this challenge

Krafty Chicks Challenge  — anything goes

Creative Creases Challenge  — Always Fun Folds

 

Start with a card base of Misty Moonlight.  Cut a panel of Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper, adhering to the card front.  Using a die from Spotlight on Nature Dies cut a circle in the card front.  You may need to run the it through the Emboss, Cut Machine twice as you are cutting through both cardstock and designer series paper.  After cutting the circle, adhere the Misty Moonlight die cut piece to the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.   Lay it aside for the moment.

Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock 5-1/4″ x 8-1/2″. Score the piece at 4″ and 6-1/4″.  This is for the inside piece.  Stamp in Misty Moonlight ink a sentiment on the left panel of the piece using a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse stamp set.  Stamp the stem of flowers in Misty Moonlight ink in the lower right corner of the panel using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes stamp set.  On the middle panel adhere the piece of Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper left when you cut the panel for the card front.  Fold, burnishing well and adhere the panel to the card base using adhesive of your choice, I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

With the card closed, adhere the circle you put aside earlier to the opening in the card front.  Stamp a greeting in Misty Moonlight ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Coffee With Friends stamp set.  Die cut the greeting using a die from Spotlight On Nature Dies.  Pop the greeting on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals on the lower portion of the circle.  Pop gems from Glossy Dots Assortment around the card front.

Be sure to only adhere the right side of the circle in the opening, you do not want to glue your card close and unable to open.

Stampin’ Up! Sending Love

Stampin’ Up! Sending Love

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Sending Love dies along with Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes dies.  I also used  Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper.

I am entering my card in the challenge at:

Alphabet Challenge  —  E for Embossing

Can You Handle The Challenge   

I started by adhering a panel of Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper that has been embossed using Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder to a Smokey Slate card base.  I used Granny Apple Green and Old Olive card stock to cut the grass and shrubs.  I adhered them at the bottom of the card front over the Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. 

 I die cut two stems of flowers using a die from Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes Dies.  I colored the flowers using Lemon Lolly, Bubble Bath, and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends.  I die cut a mailbox from a piece of Smoky Slate cardstock stamping MAIL on the side of the mailbox in Memento Black ink, the flag from Real Red cardstock and the mailbox post from Early Espresso, and Basic White for the envelope that fits into the mailbox.  All the pieces are arranged over the Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper as you can see in the photo above.  White sequins are popped around the card front.  The mailbox is adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the Basic White envelope is put together using Glue Dots.

A stem of flowers is die cut using the same die as the one used to die the flowers on the card front.  The same colors are also used to color the flowers.  After coloring, the stem of flowers is adhered in the lower right corner using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  The panel is then adhered to the card base.  No sentiment is added at this time as I do not know what kind of card I will need.

A Basic White envelope gets a panel of Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse

Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse

This is a first time use for me.  I believe Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse Stamp Set is going to be one of my favorites from the 2024-2025 Annual catalog.  It get more difficult to get a card made.  Maybe after a few more weeks, I will have some energy to  get things done. In creating this card, along with the stamp set I used Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper.  Happy it carried over.

The card base is Shaded Spruce card stock. A layer of Early Espresso cardstock is added next. It becomes the mat for the Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper.  Before adding to the Early Espresso cardstock, the panel is brushed with Crumb Cake ink using a Blending Brush and Crumb Cake ink.

I am entering Creative Creases Challenge for this card.

Flowers and birds are stamped using stamps from Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse stamp set, then colored using Stampin’ Blends.  Greenery is die cut from Granny Apple Green and Mossy Meadow cardstock.   The birdhouse is die cut from a piece of Country Woods Designer Series Paper.  It is brushed with Crumb Cake ink using a Blending Brush. The birdhouse roof and porch is from a piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock.  I die cut the scalloped piece from a piece of the Country Woods Designer Series Paper.  A piece of Basic Black card stock is used to die up the decoration post the birdhouse rest on.   A piece is also place behind the circle cut in the birdhouse.

Another piece of Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper is cut, brushed, matted on Early Espresso cardstock then adhered to the inside panel.  Flowers are popped on the panel to create a stop for the easel.

This is how the card looks when it is folded to create the easel.

When you open the card, you will find a piece of Basic White adhered  over the Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper  to enable a note to be written if wanted.

This is the back of the card where a greeting is stamped in Crumb Cake ink using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Beach Day stamp set.  A flower is popped on the corner of the piece.

A Very Vanilla envelope gets a piece  of Nature’s Sweetness S Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

If you love card making as a hobby, you can still be a demonstrator and get that discount to help get more card making items,  or you can be like I was and buy Stampin’ Up! products for 10 years before I became wise enough to become a demonstrator to get the discount.  When I think of all the stamping products that 20% would have brought over those 10 years, I cringe.
