Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo — Celebrate!

June 17, 2023 admin Comments 17 comments

I have a fun card that I am sharing today. It is created using Zany Crew Designer Series Paper. It makes for a cute fun card birthday card.

My card design is inspired by the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.

My card base is Basic White card stock with a panel of the same embossed using Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the panel to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I fussy cut my little musical quartet from Zany Crew Designer Series Paper. I also cut three strips of different patterns for my stage for my little quartet to sing Happy Birthday.

I fussy cut the music notes and popped around the band. Oh! Yes! it was such fun to fussy cut such tiny pieces. I stamped a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake stamp set in Real Red ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock, fussy cut and popped on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped a sentiment and music notes from Stampin’ Up! Sweet Songbirds stamp set in Tuxedo Memento Black ink. I adhered three little bits of Zany Crew Designer Series Paper at the bottom of the panel and fussy cut another musician and placed him as if he is popping up from behind the tiny stage to play his flute. I also stamped music notes by him.

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

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons — Celebrate!

June 16, 2023 admin Comments 6 comments

Happy Friday to all! I know most people are gearing up for Father’s Day celebration since this is Father’s Day week-end! Are fathers as celebrated as mothers are? Maybe, I feel they are not as I never really knew my dad. I had a step-dad, but no relationship, so I always just say I was fatherless. There are many out here who are just like me. If you have a loving, caring dad, who has always been there for you, you are blessed beyond measure so cherish him on this day that gives honor to him.

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons stamp set. I purchase this during pre-order but have never used. You know how sometimes you look at a stamp set and say later, then it gets later and later. I also use the Merry Melody 3d Embossing Folder. My card is a pop out fun fold.

My instructions on the photo may be a little small so I will give them here again. I started with a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ Basic White piece of card stock. I scored at 4-1/4″. I used a die from Deckled Rectangle Dies to die cut the opening in the card. It is probably best to die cut before you fold, but I folded then open the piece back up to die cut. In the photo it seems as if I placed the die on the folded card but you can see from the photo below how it looks.

This is a photo of the card opening with the piece die cut from it. This piece will be used to create your pop-out. Below are a few pictures demonstrating creating the pop-out.

Shows the die cut to create the opening
The fold for the pop-out 5-12″ x 6-1/4″ Score at 2″ & 4″ Put adhesive of choice on the two edges of the mountain fold on the right. I used glue dots for this sample.
Adhere to the inside as shown in the photo. I left a tiny border instead of adhering all the way te edge.
The hinges – cut 3/4″ x 3″ score at 1-1/2 cut (2). I cut one piece 1-1/2″ x 3″ after adhered Tear & Tape, I cut down the middle to make the 3/4″ piece. Adhere the hinges to the corners as shown. Tape will be face up to stick the other side.
Adhere the dark piece to the card front by closing the card front over the two hinges.
How it looks after adhering the front to the hinges.
Close card and adhere Tear & Tape as shown in #7. Adhere the piece left from die cutting to create the opening. The piece will only be adhered on one side so the other one will be free when you open the card.
How the card looks once the die cut piece is adhered to the opening.

I stamped three balloons, the large one in Real Red ink, the small one in Parakeet ink. I die cut the medium one from Tahitian Tide card stock and embossed using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloon stamp set, Versa Mark ink and a heat tool. The card front is embossed using the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder.

A greeting is stamped around the balloons after they are arranged on the card front. In Color Pearls are popped on the card front.

Sentiments in Parakeet Party ink and Tahitian Tide ink are stamped on the inside panels using stamps from Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms stamp set.

Three balloons are stamped on the Basic White envelope flap using stamps from Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons and Real Red, Parakeet Party, and Tahitian Tide inks.

Stampin’ Up! Apple Harvest — Greatest Gift

June 14, 2023 admin Comments 6 comments

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Apple Harvest stamp set and coordinating dies (I believe the dies are retired) I am happy this set carried over in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog as I have not used it before today. It seems I get stuck on a stamp set and I continue using it over and over.

I first prepared a piece of Basic White card stock to appear to be a canvas for a painting. I use Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Gorgeous, Grape, Highland Heather, Pumpkin Pie, and Tahitian Tide inks with a crumbled up piece of aluminum foil to apply the ink. On some spots, I stamped the ink on a piece of scrap paper before applying to the piece of card stock. I have seen this technique on Pinterest and You Tube a few times but never really watched the videos just saw the person squeezing the foil into a ball so thought I would look again and I found one that Terri Gaines did. You can watch her video by clicking her name.

You will notice that some of my picture of my card has bling on the front others do not. I wanted to see which way looked best. I stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink an apple image from Stampin’ Up! Apple Harvest stamp set. I colored using Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, and Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the branch and blossoms in Tuxedo Memento Black ink and colored using Crumb Cake, Bubble Bath, and Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. These are popped on the canvas using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The piece I call my canvas is then adhered to a Tahitian Tide card stock piece and popped on the Highland Heather card stock base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A panel of Basic White card stock gets two flowers adhered to the lower corner. I stamped the flowers in Tuxedo Memento Black ink and colored the flowers with a Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends Marker. The leaves are die cut from Basic White card stock and colored using a Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends Marker. The panel is then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I used an envelope left over from a Paper Pumpkin kit as it matches the card well.

Stampin’ Up! Nested Friends — Thinking of You

June 12, 2023 admin Comments 7 comments

The card I am sharing today is a combination of Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight stamp set and Dies and Stampin’ Up! Nested Friends stamp set and Dies. I also used Timber 3D Embossing Folder.

My card base is Pecan Pie card stock with a panel of the same card stock embossed using Timber 3D Embossing Folder. The embossed panel will be adhered to the card base after the card front is finished.

I die cut four vines from Garden Green and Granny Apple Green card stock using a die from Dainty Delight Dies. I also die cut daisies from Balmy Blue and a scrap I had that had the pink color in a little spot. As the scrap was in my scrap bin, I do not know the name of the DSP, but you can die cut daisies from any color you choose, if you choose to create this card. The bird nest is from Stampin’ Up! Nested Friends stamp set and is stamped in Pecan Pie ink. The bird is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink and colored using a Balmy Blue and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Markers. The three eggs are die cut using a die from Dainty Delight Dies and is colored using a Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Marker. Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems are popped in the center of the daisies and around the card front.

A panel of Basic White card stock gets flowers from Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight stamp set stamped on the panel and colored using Balmy Blue and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. The panel is then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A Basic White envelope get the same flowers as the inside panel stamped on the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Paper Pumpkin

June 11, 2023 admin Comments 2 comments

WHAT IS PAPER PUMPKIN?

What is Paper Pumpkin? Paper Pumpkin is our monthly One-Stop Box™ that offers a unique variety of paper projects for subscribers of any skill level to enjoy! These thoughtfully-themed and all-inclusive craft kits encourages us as Stampin’ Up! customers to explore their creativity, try new techniques, and discover our potential in paper crafting.

Paper Pumpkin introduces us to an impressive collection of Stampin’ Up! products, from their one-of-a-kind ink pads to their eye-catching embellishments. Plus, the carefully-chosen components of each Paper Pumpkin kit highlight the unbeatable versatility and coordination of the products provide! This is an easy and exciting way to stock up on supplies—and create small-batch projects for occasions of any kind— it also inspires us to continue crafting after the kit is complete. Paper Pumpkin is a great way to collect the ink spots and stamp sets that you can use over and over again. I have a great collection of the ink spots and use them often.

This is a picture of the diagram that comes with a Paper Pumpkin kit. You can see how much I have changed the cards I have made by checking this picture. I still have more cards to make from this kit, but don’t know when I will get back to it. This is the April Paper Pumpkin. You can see how fast I put the kits together. I usually make them alternative cards using the elements in the kits to create my own designs.

Here are the cards I made. If you want to know anything about any of the cards, send me a private message and I will get back to you. I did an inside sentiment for some of the cards, some I left blank to write a note or stamp a future sentiment.

I used the envelopes that come with the kit and did no other decorating.
