Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky

Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky

Happy Friday everyone!  Do you have a fun weekend planned?  Here in Georgia it is too hot to do much outside. Maybe,  if you are in Savannah at the beach, the breeze may be cool encough to be outside.  Enjoy the weekend, whatever you do!

I believe this is called a diagonal Fun Fold, I will call it that.  I have used Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Beach Day stamp set for my greeting and sentiment.  Beach Day has been seeing lots of use with me recently.  I also used half of one of the card bases from the Delicate Wings Paper Pumpin Kit as a background piece on the card front.

I am entering my card in 

Triple B: Birds, Butterflies, and Blooms  Challenge

Cut a 4-1/4′ x 11″ Basic White cardstock card base.  Score at 5-1/2″.  On the left panel, cut from the score line to the right corner.  You can see in the photo how the cut is.

Using half of one of the card bases from Delicate Wings Paper Pumpkin, cut the panel 4″ x 5-1/4″ then cut diagonally from the left corner to the right corner.  Adhere the piece to the left panel of the card front.

Using Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies stamp set and Dies you can stamp butterflies and then die cut using one of the dies.  I used butterflies from a large, large stash of butterflies I die cut some time ago.  I believe they multiply over night.  I dipped the edges of the butterflies in Versa Mark end, sprinkled Gold Embossing Powder over them, and heat embossed.  Using a Blending Brush and Lost Lagoon ink, I brushed the center of the butterflies.  A sequin Neutral Adhesive Backed Sequins is popped on the butterflies.

 Cut a piece of Lost Lagoon cardstock 3-1/4′ x 6-1/2″ score at 3-1/4″. Cut a piece of Lost Lagoon 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″.  Embosse the piece using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.  Adhere to the front of the little card.  Pop the butterflies on the front using a Glue Dot.   Using another half panel of a card base from Delicate Wings Paper Pumpkin cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″,  color using a Blending Brush and Lost Lagoon ink.  Adhere the piece to the inside of the card.  Use the remaining half of the card from the card front, adhered to the inside of the left panel. Adhere the little card to the middle of the inside panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Stamp a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Beach Day stamp set in Memento Black ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock.  Also, stamp the  little butterflies from Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies stamp set in Memento Black ink on the sentiment panel.  Color using Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends.  Adhere to the inside of the little card.

Stamp a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky stamp set on a scrap of Basic White cardstock, fussy cut and adhere to the corner of the little card.  Adhere Iridescent Adhesive Backed Gems to the front of the little card.

Adhere a 2-1/4′ x 6″ piece of Country Woods Designer Series Paper to a Basic White envelope flap using Multipurpose Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions

Sunny Days Designer Series Paper makes the card I am sharing today, a bright and cheery card.  I am using Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions stamp set for the images on the card and Thoughtful Expressions Dies to die cut the images.  I am also using Painted Posies 3 D Embossing Folder.

I started with a Basic White cardstock card base embossing a panel of the same using Painted Posies 3 D Embossing Folder. I cut a piece of Sunny Days Designer Series Paper (free during Sale-a-Bration with a qualified order) matting it on a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock.  The piece is then adhered over the embossed piece and adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Gems from Tinsel Gems Four Pack are popped around the card front.

These are my challenges for this card

Flowers and a hummingbird from Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions stamp set are stamped in Smoky Slate ink. After see the posted picture I realize the hummingbird should have probably been stamped in Memento Black ink to give a more distinct look.  The flowers are colored using Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green, and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. The hummingbird is colored using Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. Wink of Stella is brushed on the flowers and parts of the hummingbird, but it doesn’t show up very well in the photo.  Leaves are die cut from Granny Apple Green and Shaded Spruce cardstock using dies from Thoughtful Expressions Dies.

Two labels are die cut from Basic White cardstock using dies from Thoughtful Expressions Dies.  The circle is for the flowers and hummingbird to rest.  The other one is for the greeting stamped in Smoky Slate ink, fussy cut, and adhered with Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the label.  The label is popped over the edge of the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Iridescent Foil Gems are popped on two of the flowers on the piece  of Sunny Days Designer Series Paper.

A greeting is stamped in Memento Black ink on a label that has been cut using a die from Thoughtful Expressions Dies.  It is adhered in the middle of a panel of Sunny Days Designer Paper and adhered to the card base.

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

Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lavender — Sending Love & Big Hugs

Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lavender — Sending Love & Big Hugs

So happy you have stopped.  I hope you enjoy my blog for today.

Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage stamp set and Dies are part of the Perennial Lavender Suite.  This suite has beautiful Designer Series Paper.  I am using this part of the suite to create the card I am sharing with you today.  The card I have created  is a CAS of one created by Jamie Babarczy of  Stamp It Up With Jaimie

To add the Basic White mat and the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper cut a piece of Basic White cardstock 2-1/4″ x 5-1/4″.  Measure in from left corner 7/8″, cut from the 7/8″ mark down to the right corner, this will create the mat.  For the Designer Series Paper, cut a piece of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper 2-1/8″ x 5-1/8″.  Measure in from left corner 3/4″, cut from the 3/4″ mark down to the right corner.  You can see the photo above to see how they fit.

This is a picture of the card with the belly band off.  I created a belly band to hold the card closed, being a multi-fold they have a tendency to not close as well.  To create the belly band cut a 1-1/2″ x 11″ piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock.  A piece of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper is cut 1-1/4″ x 10-1/4″ and adhered to the Gorgeous Grape band.  Wrap this around the card not too snug so it will slide off the card easily.  Die cut a piece of Basic White cardstock, emboss using Softly Sophisticated 3 D Embossing Folder.  Add a die cut Gorgeous Grape butterfly and three Gorgeous Grape dots from Glossy Dots Assortment the adhere to the belly band using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Cut a piece of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper, matting on a Basic White mat, adhered to the second flap of the card.  Die cut the butterflies from Gorgeous Grape cardstock.

Create a label for the greeting by using a die from Perennial Postage Dies to die cut it from Basic White cardstock.  Stamp the greeting in Gorgeous Grape ink on the Basic White label.  Two stamps from Perennial Postage stamp set are use.  Part of the top greeting is masked leaving the words needed for the greeting.  The other part of the greeting is stamped before the masked portion.  Add Gorgeous Grape dots from Glossy Dots Assortment.

A sentiment from Perennial Postage stamp set is stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink on a Basic White cardstock panel.  A butterfly is brushed on the corner using Gorgeous Grape ink and a Blending Brush.  A butter is adhered over the back of the butterfly that shows from the front.  It is colored in Gorgeous Grape and Shaded Spruce ink, using Blending Brushes.

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

Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles – Sunshine to Brighten Your Day!

Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles – Sunshine to Brighten Your Day!

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles stamp set and Dies.  This is such a happy stamp set, it can be used for any occasion easily.

Start with a card base of Granny Apple Green cardstock cut 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″  To this base add a piece of Bright and Beautiful Designer Series Paper matted on a Basic White card stock mat.

Next, work on the fun fold creation.  To create the fun fold start with a piece of Basic White card stock cut 5-1/4″ x 7-1/4″.  Score this piece at 1-3/8″, 2-1/2″, 4-3/4″ and 5-7/8″.  Burnish well.   Cut two strips Designer Series Paper from the  2022-2024 Designer Series Paper Assortment, adhering on each side of the fun fold using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a piece of Basic White cardstock, stamp the flowers in Daffodil Delight and Real Red inks.  Stamp the flower stem with leaves in Parakeet Party ink.  The center of the yellow flower is made using a Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Marker, the center of the red flower is created using a Daffodil Delight Dark Stampin’ Blends.  Stamp the word Sending in Starry Sky ink.  Use the dies that match each one and die cut. When the word Sending is die cut, 2 extras are also cut and added to the word to give extra depth so dimensionals would not have to be used.

On the inside middle panel of the fun fold stamp a flower in Starry Sky ink with a Daffodil Delight ink center, The flower stem and leaves are stamped in Parakeet Party ink.  Stamp your sentiment under the flower.  The sentiment for this card is stamped on a very narrow piece of Basic White cardstock in Starry Sky ink, then cut to fit the area.  Add a Brushed Brass Butterfly.

Adhere the fun fold to the center of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue or adhesive of choice.  Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to create the art piece for the card front.  Arrange the flowers,  the word Sending, and the greeting on the Basic White piece using Multipurpose Liquid Glue for the leaves and Stampin’ Dimensionals or  adhesive of choice.  Add two Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card front.  Adhere the art piece to the left panel of the fun fold.  Remember to only. put glue on the left side of the art piece so not to glue your card shut

A Basic White medium envelope gets a panel of  2022-2024 In Color Designer Series Paper  Assortment applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Kiddin’ Around

Stampin’ Up! Kiddin’ Around

This was a fun card to create.  It is also a fun fold Z fold.  The Just  Kiddin’ Designer Series Paper made for a fun creating.  I also used the Stampin’ Up! Kiddin’ Around stamp set.

My card base is Pool Party card stock. As this is a Z-fold card, I started with a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of card stock, scoring at 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4″.  Fold the card as you would a regular card, then fold into a mountain fold. It will be mountain fold for the first fold and the regular fold is a valley fold.  I used Pretty Peacock card stock to create the mats for the Just  Kiddin’ Designer Series Paper.  You can find the card cuts at the end of this post.  In the package of  Just Kiddin’  Designer Series Paper there are 2 pieces of the Designer Series Paper that can be cut into sections to create a scene.  I used two of the sections to create my card.

A castle is die cut from another pattern of Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper, two others are cut from Smoky Slate card stock.  The three are adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue then adhered to the third panel where the sentiment is stamped on the Basic White panel in Pretty Peacock ink. A flag is die cut  three times using Kiddin’ Around Dies. They are adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, then colored using Poppy Parade and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. 

One of the kids from the Designer Series Paper is fussy cut and popped on the panel in front of the castle.  The boy’s hat,  some of the books, the flags at the top of each panel, the dragon’s tongue, the  blocks on the top shelf of the book case and the apple on the trees are brushed with Wink of Stella.

This is another view of the card.  I stamped the girl from Stampin’ Up! Kiddin’ Around stamp set in Memento Black and colored using Balmy Blue, Poppy Parade, Tahitian Tide, Crumb Cake  Stampin’ Blends Markers and one of the Blends for flesh color.  I then die cut the girl and popped her on the stool that has been die cut from a piece of Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper (free during Sale-a-Bration with qualifying order).

A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Kiddin’ Around stamp set is stamped on a piece of Basic White card stock in Pretty Peacock ink.  It is matted on a piece of Pretty Peacock card stock and adhered to the card front. Only half of the panel has Multipurpose Liquid Glue applied.  If it was applied to the entire piece, it would glue the panel to the card and it could not be opened.  Stars are die cut from pieces of Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper and popped around the greeting panel. 

This is the back of the card for space for writing a note or just signing your card.  Another scene is created on the left panel.  The boy and girl are fussy cut from a panel of Just Kiddin’  Designer Series Paper.

The belly band is a piece of Pool Party card stock with a piece of Just Kiddin’ Designer Series Paper over it.  A boy and girl are fussy cut from a panel of the Designer Series Paper and popped on the front of the belly band.  Iridescent Rhinestones are popped in the corners.

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

  • 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.
