Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies — Thinking of You

April 24, 2023 admin Comments 8 comments

The card I am sharing today is created using a new Designer Series Paper that will be available to customer May 2. The Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper is doing all the work in creating this. It is a beautiful paper.

I am entering Try Stamping on Tuesday Challenge for today’s card.

My card base is Basic White card stock. I adhered a panel of Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper over the card front. I added two strips of Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper toward the bottom of the card front. To the blue one I added a scalloped strip using a die from Penned Flowers Dies. I adhered the panel and strips using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I die cut the big daisy from Cheerful Daisies Dies in Basic White card stock and the medium one from a piece of the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper.

I used a panel of Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper for the inside panel. There is ample room for a note even with the daisies at the bottom of the panel.

A Basic White Medium Envelope gets a piece of Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! By The Bay — Sending Hugs

April 21, 2023 admin Comments 4 comments

Sometimes you can let the Designer Series Paper do the creating and that is what I have done today with the card I am sharing with you. I used By The Bay Designer Series Paper, along with an embossing folder from Stripes and Splatters 3D Embossing Folder. I am entering the Global Design Project Challenge for this card.

I cut nine squares from a panel of By The Bay Designer Series Paper. These square are adhered to a Basic White card stock panel and a Distressed Gold Specialty Paper is used to mat the Basic White card stock panel. I embossed a panel of Coastal Cabana cardstock using an embossing folder from Stripes and Splatters 3D Embossing Folder. This panel is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The panel with the nine squares is adhered to the middle of the embossed panel. A greeting from Stampin’ up! Through This Together stamp set is stamped in Coastal Cabana ink in the center square. Three Gold Adhesive Backed Swirls are popped in the middle square above the greeting.

A panel of By The Bay Designer Series Paper is adhered to the inside of the card base for a sentiment of choice or a short note.

A Basic White Medium Envelope gets a piece of By The Bay Designer Series Paper applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Nested Friends — Thinking of You

April 16, 2023 admin Comments 6 comments

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Nested Friends stamp set. I also used Stampin’ Up! Seasons of Chic stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Garden Birdhouses stamp set for sentiments, and Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper.

I am entering Seize The Birthday Challenge — Their theme for this challenge is alcohol, not the kind you drink, the kind that you have in alcohol markers. My bird nest, leaves and berries are colored using Stampin’ Blends Markers which is Stampin’ Up!‘s alcohol markers.

I started with a Basic White card stock card base. This is a single layer card. I stamped the nest from Stampin’ Up! Nested Friends stamp set. You can see from the photo above the placement of the nest stamp on the front of the card. After stamping using the die from Nested Friends Dies that cuts the nest out. Place the edge of the cutting plate across the die at the point I have marked in the above photo. You can see from the placement of the die how much of the nest is die cut. See the photo below for how the nest looks after cutting. My card is a CAS of one Dawn Griffith made. She made three different ones so you just may see another of her cards from this same video in the near future. You can see her YouTube video of this card and the other two she made by clicking here. These days I have to find someone I can CAS, my brain is so full and overly tired that I can’t think of what to create. I have been working on a special card for someone for almost a month now, I get the card finally finished after stamping the parts 6 different times to get it right and now I have to start over, I put it together backward, so see how my poor brain is working.

You can see in this photo how the bird nest looks after being partially die cut. I stamped one of the greetings from Stampin’ Up! Nested Friends stamp set on the front of the card in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink. Using Balmy Blue ink, I stamped the dots around the card front stamping off twice before stamping on the card.

I colored the nest using a Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Marker. To color the bird, I use Balmy Blue and Blushing Bride Stampin’ Blends Markers. The leaves are colored using Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. The berries are colored in Polish Pink Stampin’ Blends. Brushed Brass Butterflies are popped around the card front.

A piece of Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper (soon to be retired) is adhered at the bottom of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The bird nest rest on this panel when the card is closed. Sentiments are stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink using stamps from Stampin’ Up! Garden Birdhouses stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Seasons of Chic stamp set. Brush Brass Butterflies are also popped on the inside panel.

A Basic White medium envelope gets a piece of Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms

April 14, 2023 admin Comments 14 comments

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.

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

Stampin’ Up! Paper Pumpkin 10 Years of Growth

April 9, 2023 admin Comments 2 comments

Happy Easter everyone, I hope you have had a blessed day.

Today I am sharing four of the cards I created using March 2023 Paper Pumpkin, 10 Years of Growth. I did a littler altering of the four cards I am showing, I have more to make and will show at a later date.

I used an Orchid Oasis card stock card base. I cut the card into two pieces adhering the card front to the Orchid Oasis card base. Adding an Orchid Oasis card base is about the only thing I did to this card other than adding sequins to the front.

I gave this one an Orchid Oasis card base also. This one is an anniversary card.

This one has a Shaded Spruce card base. I created the front to look as if you are looking out a window with curtains. I added a linen bow on each side of the curtains using Linen Thread.

This card has a Polished Pink card base. I turned the background panel vertically instead of horizontally as in the directions with Paper Pumpkin.
