Stampin’ Up! Rings of Love Thinking of You

Stampin’ Up! Rings of Love Thinking of You

The card I am sharing today is another that the Designer Series Paper does all the work.  I used the Rings of Love Designer Series Paper.

My challenge for the day is with the Fusion Card Challenge — their theme is Wine and Cheese plus a sketch challenge, you can choose one or both.  I am doing the sketch one but I suppose you could include the Wine and Cheese as I used one of the round woodcuts from the Rings of Love Designer Series Paper.

My card base is Soft Suede card stock. I cut a panel of Sweet Sorbet card stock as the mat for the Rings of Love Designer Series Paper panel.  The panels are adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  

A panel with a different design is cut and matted on a piece of the Sweet Sorbet card stock. This narrow panel is adhered to the right side of the card front. 

 Sprigs and twigs are fussy cut from another panel of the Rings of Love Designer Series Paper and arranged around the log cut that is also from a different panel of the Rings of Love Designer Series Paper.  A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a piece of Basic White card stock and cropped using a die from the Stylish Shapes Dies.  It is popped on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Three Rhinestone Basic Jewels are colored using a Sweet Sorbet Dark Stampin’ Blends Marker, one is popped on the greeting label and the other two are popped around the card front.  Two butterflies from the Designer Series Paper are fussy cut and popped on the card front.

The inside panel is blank so I did not make a picture of it. I know I usually decorate the page, but this time I left it blank.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Rings of Love 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.

Stampin’ Up! Rustic Harvest Autumn Wishes

Stampin’ Up! Rustic Harvest Autumn Wishes

The card I am sharing today is created using Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper.  The greeting is from Stampin’ Up! Fond of Autumn stamp set.  The embossing folder is the Timbers 3D Embossing Folder.

My challenge for today is with the NBUS Challenge.  The item I am using that has never been used before is the Rustic Harvest DSP.

I started with a card base of Merry Merlot card stock.  I embossed a panel of the same using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder.  I adhered the panel to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I also embossed a panel of Basic White card stock with the same embossing folder and adhered it over the Merry Merlot embossed panel.

I fussy cut the pumpkins, squash, leaves, and acorns.  I colored the leaves and acorns using a Crumb Cake, Pumpkin Pie, and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I colored the Twigs and Sprigs Embossing Folder and embossed a panel of Basic White card stock, cropping the pieces after stamping.  This may be one of those embossing folders and dies that cut and emboss at the same time but I did not think of that until I had finished the process. 

I arranged all the fussy cut pieces on the embossed Basic White panel, took a picture so I would remember how it was arranged.  I adhered the pieces down using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I tied a double loop bow and popped it on the card.  I popped three sequins from a Paper Pumpkin I believe on the card front.

A panel of Basic White gets pumpkins adhered in the lower right corner then it is adhered to the card  base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Forest Friends

Stampin’ Up! Forest Friends

This is the card I am sharing today.  It is a bridge fold without a bridge, so does that make it a bridgeless fold?  I used Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper to create.  The Designer Series Paper did all the work. The greeting and sentiment are from Stampin’ Up! Sweet Song Birds stamp set.  The greeting is stamped in Soft Suede ink just below the bird, so I feel this greeting is perfect for this card.

My challenge for today is with Festive Friday Challenge  — I choose the owl, texture, brown, and woodland as my choice.

This is the way the card looks opened up all the way.  I started with a 5-1/2″ x 10″ Soft Suede card stock card base. I scored the Soft Suede card stock on each end at 1-1/2″  and 3″.  I used Calypso Coral for the mats.  You can see the card cuts at the end of the post.   I fussy cut an owl on a stump from a piece of the Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper and popped it in the corner using a Stampin’ Dimensional.  Three Brushed Brass Butterflies are popped around the card also.

This is the back side of the card with the sentiment.  I fussy cut the tree from a panel of the Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper and adhered to the Basic White Panel.  I stamped the sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Sweet Songbirds stamp set in Soft Suede ink.  I didn’t stamp Happy Birthday as I want to write that myself as I will also write a note.

This is the way the card looks when it is closed.  It will fit in a regular envelope, no need for a special size or to make one.  It may seem that way as the size is 5-1/2″ x 10″.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper applied to envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Sunkissed Trees For Sale

Stampin’ Up! Sunkissed Trees For Sale

The card I am sharing today is a slim line easel fun fold card.  First time trying one.  I wanted to make this card but there were too many elements for the card.  Mary Deatherage did her Facebook Live on Saturday and she did a slim line fun fold using these dies.  Her slim card was the perfect solution for my card.  Her card was so beautiful.  You can probably see it tomorrow on her blog.

I am using the Trees for Sale Dies and the Stampin’ Up! Sunkissed Stamp Set.

My card is a fun fold so I am entering the Creative Crease Challenge –  it is always a fun fold.

I am also entering the Hand Stamped Sentiment Challenge — I have a camper on my card.

The card base is Night of Navy card stock. 

  • All the Basic White panels have been brushed with a Blending Brush using either Balmy Blue ink for the sky and ocean or Crumb Cake and Soft Suede inks. 
  • I stamped the palm tree from Stampin’ Up! Sunkissed Stamp Set using Old Olive, Crumb Cake, and Soft Suede Stampin’ Write Pens. 
  • On the umbrella and chairs from the same stamp set, I used Flirty Flamingo, Pool Party, and Coastal Cabana inks. 
  • I fussy cut both and adhered to the panel that pops up to make the easel. 
  • I cropped the camper from Basic White card stock. I cropped the Bermuda Bay panels of the camper and adhered them with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
  • A piece of Vellum card stock is colored using a So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Marker and adhered to the back of the windows to give the appearance of sunlight shining into the camper.
  • I cropped the lights and poles from Basic White card stock and colored them using a So Saffron and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Marker.
  • The poles are adhered to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the lights are strung between the poles, palm tree, camper, and umbrella.
  • The camper hitch and the tire are colored using a black Stampin’ Write Marker.
  • The wreath is cropped from Basic White card stock and colored using a Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Marker then adhered to the door of the camper.
  • The bow is cropped from a scrap of Coastal Cabana card stock and adhered to the wreath

The inside panel that holds the stop for the easel has palm trees like the one on the card front colored with the same Stampin’ Write Pens and stamped in the middle of the colored panel.  The greeting from Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints stamp set is stamped on a scrap of Basic White card stock using Early Espresso ink and brushed with Crumb Cake ink.  It is the stop for the easel and is popped on using double Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The pelican is stamped in Smoky Slate ink and his beak is colored using a So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Marker.  He is popped over so pebbles using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

This is the way the back side when the card is closed or the bottom of the card when it is in the easel position looks.  I left space at the top to write a message and then forgot and stamped birds, realized that just now when typing this.  I will have to attach another piece of card stock on the inside of the easel for writing.

A medium Basic White envelope gets pelicans stamped to the envelope flap using Smoky Slate ink.

Stampin’ Up! Hope & Peace Christmas Card

Stampin’ Up! Hope & Peace Christmas Card

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Hope & Peace stamp set and the Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper, and Holly Berry Dies.

My challenge today is with Never-Before-Used-Schtuff Challenge.     My stamp set is a new one from the Stampin’ Up!  2022 July-December Mini Catalog. 

I started with a Shaded Spruce card stock card base.  A panel of Boughs of Holly DSP is matted onto a Basic White card stock mat and adhered to the Shaded Spruce card base.

I cropped from a piece of Basic White card stock a greeting label that has holly leaves as part of the label.  I adhered the Basic White label to a panel of Shaded Spruce card stock and fussy cut around the label. 

A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Hope & Peace stamp set is stamped in Shaded Spruce ink onto the label.  Greenery and holly berries are fussy cut from a panel of the Boughs of Holly DSP, these are arranged behind the label along with a length of gold ribbon. It is then popped on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Five Rhinestone Basic Jewels are colored using a Dark Real Red Stampin’ Blends Marker.  the jewels are popped around the label.  Three of the jewels are arranged to give the appearance of holly berries.

A panel of Basic White card stock gets fussy cut poinsettias adhered to the top and lower right corner of the panel.   A Merry Christmas from the Stampin’ Up! Hope & Peace stamp set is stamped on the Basic White panel using Tuxedo Memento Black ink.  The panel is then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Boughs of Holly DSP adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Something to give you a chuckle.  I have had a rough two days, but this “young” person did something that “young” people my age should not do.  Sunday, I made a visit to our storage building and decided I wanted to find my Stampin’ Up! bag with all my SU tools.  It has been missing since July 2021 and  I look for it each time I go to the storage, as I had to buy all new tools when we got moved and could not find it.  It probably would not have been too bad if I had gone to the climate-controlled one but this one is probably 30 degrees hotter than the outside temperature.  Well, I crawled and climbed around in there for 5 hours hunting it.  My DIL found it and I told my grandson “take it down there”. He thought I meant the other storage down the alleyway. It’s hot also.  I come home thinking he has put it in the Suburban only to find out today, that I am going to have to go climbing around in another storage to find it again.  The result of all that climbing and crawling around is I can not move.  My back is so bad.  I know better but sometimes you just have to do what you know is not really a good idea.  To make it worse, I can only have two Tylenol a day, so when do you decide the pain is worse and take your two Tylenol.  I believe the only thing not in pain is my hair and there’s so little of it, that it can’t hurt.  I know you are probably laughing with tears by this time visioning such a “young” person climbing around on boxes to the ceiling. 😅😎😁
