Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Journey — Thinking Of You

June 4, 2024 admin

The card I am sharing today is created using Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Coffee With Friends stamp set, Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes stamp set, Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse stamp set, and Spotlight On Nature Dies. Don’t be shy about using more than one stamp set when creating a card. You may see one part in one stamp set you like and another part in another stamp set. I am probably well know for using greetings and sentiments from other stamp sets other than the one that features the focal part of the card front. This is a card I saw of Susan Campfield’s.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:

Addicted To Stamps — any occasion is the theme for this challenge

Krafty Chicks Challenge — anything goes

Creative Creases Challenge — Always Fun Folds

Start with a card base of Misty Moonlight. Cut a panel of Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper, adhering to the card front. Using a die from Spotlight on Nature Dies cut a circle in the card front. You may need to run the it through the Emboss, Cut Machine twice as you are cutting through both cardstock and designer series paper. After cutting the circle, adhere the Misty Moonlight die cut piece to the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Lay it aside for the moment.

Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock 5-1/4″ x 8-1/2″. Score the piece at 4″ and 6-1/4″. This is for the inside piece. Stamp in Misty Moonlight ink a sentiment on the left panel of the piece using a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse stamp set. Stamp the stem of flowers in Misty Moonlight ink in the lower right corner of the panel using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes stamp set. On the middle panel adhere the piece of Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper left when you cut the panel for the card front. Fold, burnishing well and adhere the panel to the card base using adhesive of your choice, I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

With the card closed, adhere the circle you put aside earlier to the opening in the card front. Stamp a greeting in Misty Moonlight ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Coffee With Friends stamp set. Die cut the greeting using a die from Spotlight On Nature Dies. Pop the greeting on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals on the lower portion of the circle. Pop gems from Glossy Dots Assortment around the card front.

Be sure to only adhere the right side of the circle in the opening, you do not want to glue your card close and unable to open.

A Basic White envelope gets a panel of Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse

May 26, 2024 admin

This is a first time use for me. I believe Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse Stamp Set is going to be one of my favorites from the 2024-2025 Annual catalog. It get more difficult to get a card made. Maybe after a few more weeks, I will have some energy to get things done. In creating this card, along with the stamp set I used Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper. Happy it carried over.

The card base is Shaded Spruce card stock. A layer of Early Espresso cardstock is added next. It becomes the mat for the Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper. Before adding to the Early Espresso cardstock, the panel is brushed with Crumb Cake ink using a Blending Brush and Crumb Cake ink.

I am entering Creative Creases Challenge for this card.

Flowers and birds are stamped using stamps from Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse stamp set, then colored using Stampin’ Blends. Greenery is die cut from Granny Apple Green and Mossy Meadow cardstock. The birdhouse is die cut from a piece of Country Woods Designer Series Paper. It is brushed with Crumb Cake ink using a Blending Brush. The birdhouse roof and porch is from a piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock. I die cut the scalloped piece from a piece of the Country Woods Designer Series Paper. A piece of Basic Black card stock is used to die up the decoration post the birdhouse rest on. A piece is also place behind the circle cut in the birdhouse.

Another piece of Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper is cut, brushed, matted on Early Espresso cardstock then adhered to the inside panel. Flowers are popped on the panel to create a stop for the easel.

This is how the card looks when it is folded to create the easel.

When you open the card, you will find a piece of Basic White adhered over the Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper to enable a note to be written if wanted.

This is the back of the card where a greeting is stamped in Crumb Cake ink using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Beach Day stamp set. A flower is popped on the corner of the piece.

A Very Vanilla envelope gets a piece of Nature’s Sweetness S Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
