Stampin’ Up! Beach Day Stamp Set – Stampin with Shirley G

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Abundance

The card I am sharing today is a September 2024 Paper Pumpkin alternative card. Stampin’ Up! Beach Day Stamp Set is used for the sentiment.

The card base is Early Espresso cardstock. A card from Paper Pumpkin Autumn Abundance is cut in half, this will allow two cards to be made instead of just the one. Both the front and back of the card has a nice design. The card half is trimmed to fit the card base leaving a border around the panel. Using a stamp from the Paper Pumpkin Kit, a sprig image is stamped in Cajun Craze ink around the card front. The panel is then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A greeting from the Paper Pumpkin Stamp Set is stamped in Cajun Craze ink on a banner lable from the kit. A strip of Cajun Craze is adhered at the bottom of the greeting, then the greeting is popped on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals, over the loopy bow. Leaves from the Paper Pumpkin Kit are placed behind the greeting along with a few sprigs die cut from Cajun Craze cardstock. A snail from the Kit is popped on the corner of the greeting.

A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Beach Day Stamp Set is stamped on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock. Leaves are stamped in Cajun Craze and Crush Curry ink down the side of the panel using stamps fromt the Paper Pumpkin Kit.

A Very Vanilla envelope get a panel of Neutral 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions — Thinking Of You

September 20, 2024 admin

I am finally back to blogging after having a bout with my back and could do nothing. As the title of a book I once read says, “I Ain’t Well But I Sure Am Better!” My husband has been so sweet to help me up and down and even cut the pieces for this card the way I showed him. His creativity is the one thing that has remained, he never misses a note when he plays music and can still draw whatever I ask. We are blessed.

The card today is a faux step, which is an easy, easy card to create, but it has taken me two days because of my back. Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions, Layering Leaves, and Beach Day Stamp Set are used in this creation. Layering Leaves and Beach Day have become my go to sets for greetings and sentiments. They always seem to fit what I am looking to say to the person I am sending the card.

Challenges:

Pammie’s Inky Pinkies Challenge

Creative Creases Challenge

These are the card cuts for the card.

Gorgeous Grape cardstock
- card base 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 1″, 2″, and 6-1/2″
- small card for top — 3″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 3″
Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper
- large mat for backgound on step — 4″ x 4-1/4″
- step — 3/4″ x 4″
Basic White cardstock
- inside sentiment & back panels — 4″ x 4-1/4″
- art piece panel on card front — 2-3/4″ x 5-1/4″

Fold on the score lines of the card base to create the step. Burnish well so the card will stand well. Fold and burnish the small card for the front.

Adhere the Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper to the background of the step and to the step. The Designer Series Paper on the step is the reverse side of the main background piece. Adhere the little card over the card base (see photo) using adhesive of choice.

On the 2-3/4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock, stamp a flower image from Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions Stamp Set in Memento Black ink. Also, stamp the single flower from the same set in the right corner of both the 4″ x 4-1/4″ Basic White cardstock pieces.

Stamp a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Stamp Set about 3/4 down the Basic White piece leaving room for the flowers to be stamped. (see photo)

Color the flowers using Bubble Bath, Highland Heather, and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. Die cut the images using dies from Thoughtful Expressions Dies. Place the cluster of flowers at the top of the Basic White piece so you can tell where to stamp the little flowers from Cherrful Daisies Stamp Set in Bubble Bath ink for the flowers and Old Olive ink for the leaves.

After stamping the flowers and leaves place the cluster of flowers in the middle using Stampin’ Dimensionals for adhesive.

Stamp a sentiment in Memento Black ink using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Beach Day Stamp Set.

To cover the portion of the front panel that is adhered to the card back, adhere a piece of Basic White cardstock that has a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Beach Day Stamp Set stamped in Memento Black ink. Adhere to the card back using adhesive of your choice.

A Basic White envelope gets a piece of Subtles 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Mediterranean Blooms

September 3, 2024 admin

The Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper does most of the work in the card I am sharing today. I did use Stampin’ Up! Beach Day Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Coffee With Friends Stamp Set for the greeting and sentiment. I also use the Timber 3D Embossing Folder.

Challenges for this card

Pammie’s Inky Pinkies Challenge

Krafty Chicks Challenge

This is an easel fun fold. The card base is Basic White cardstock with a piece of Garden Green cardstock embossed using Timber 3D Embossing Folder.

Card Cuts For This Card

Basic White cardstock
- card base — 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″
- mat Night of Navy piece card front — 1-1/2″ x 5-1/8″
- label card front — 2-3/4″ 4-1/8″
Garden Green cardstock
- embossed panel card front — 4″ x 5-1/4″
- inside panel — 4″ x 5-1/4″
Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper
- strip down left side — 1-1/4″ x 5″
- oraanges fussy cut from panel of Designer Series Paper

Easel cards are the easiest of all to create. You can see from the photo above how the card is folded. The easiness of the card creation is because there is only two pieces of card stock for the card base. The main part that creates the easel is two folds and another piece of card stock is added as you can see that creates the card front with all the elements necessary to decorate the card, with this one the Designer Series Paper does most of the creating.

Front view of easel card.

A panel of Garden Green is embossed using Timber 3D Embossing Folder, then adhered to the inside card base. Fussy cut oranges are adhered at the top left and along the bottom of the panel. A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Beach Day Stamp Set is stamped in Night of Navy ink on a scrap of Basic White cardstock, trimmed and popped on the Garden Green layer. This creates the stopper for the easel.

A Basic White envelope gets a piece of Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes

August 25, 2024 admin

My card today is an easy fun fold. I’ve used Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes Stamp Set and Dies, Stampin’ Up! Beach Day Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Stamps Set, and Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper.

Challenges for this card.

Addicted To Stamps and More Challenge — Theme for this challenge Dies & Stencils

Cut It Up Challenge — Anything Goes

Creatives Creases Challenge

Start with a Shaded Spruce cardstock card base cut 4-1/2″ x 11″
Score at 5-1/2″
Fold and burnish well.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock 4-1/8″ x 9-3/4″
Score 2-1/4″ and 4-1/2″.
Fold the 2-1/4″ score line as a mountain fold.
Fold the 4-1/2″ score line as a valley fold.
Adhere the Basic White piece to the card base using adhesive of choice. I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue. This piece creates the easel.
Cut a piece of Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper 4″ x 5-1/8″ and 2″ x 3-7/8″.
Adhere the two pieces of designer series paper to the Basic White piece.
This is the way the easel looks from the side.
Die cut the stems of the flowers from Lost Lagoon cardstock, cut three. See the first photo to see the two dies to use to cut the flowers. They are really the same die, but one has the flowers.
Die cut from Petunia Pop cardstock the flowers using the die that has the flowers on it. Cut three.
Adhere the Lost Lagoon flower stems over the flower stem leaving only the Petunia Pop flower showing. I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue because they are so thin. It would have been good to use an adhesive strip adhered to the Lost Lagoon cardstock. It would have made it easier to adhere the Lost Lagoon stem over the flower stem.
Adhere the flowers on the background piece of tthe Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper (see photo).
Die cut the big flourish that looks like half a wreath (see first photo) from Lost Lagoon cardstock.
Stamp a greeting on a piece of Basic White cardstock using Shaded Spruce ink.
Trim the greeting piece to 1-1/2″ x 2-1/4″.
Cut a mat from Petunia Pop cardstock 1-5/8″ x 2-3/8″ for the greeting piece.
Adhere the greeting piece to the Petunia Pop cardstock piece.
Adhere 3 Stampin’ Dimensionals down the middle of the greeting.
Pop the greeting in the middle of the easel part.
Tuck the flourish around the greeting. You may have to cut it into two pieces.
Pop three Birds and Dragonflies around the card front and one on the inside.
A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Beach Day Stamp Set is stamped in Shaded Spruce ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock, then adhered to the card base. A strip of Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper is adhered at the bottom of the panel.

A Basic White envelope gets a piece of 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Glue or adhesive of choice.

July 19, 2024 admin

Well! here it is again, the weekend, do you have fun plans ahead or just a relaxing few days after working all week. This isn’t the weekend for some of our hospital staffers, other first responders, and our military. Some of them are always on alert for our benefit. Thank them each chance you get.

Once again, I am using Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Stamp Set and Dies to create a card that I am sharing with you today.

Ready to Join our team? Click HERE for more information. One of the perks of being a demonstrator is that you get to pre-order before a new catalog launches so you are able to show your customers what they can look forward to having when the new catalog comes out. You will also be getting at least a 20% discount on purchases. 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.
