Stampin’ Up! Friends For Life — Thinking Of You — Easel Card

Stampin’ Up! Friends For Life — Thinking Of You — Easel Card

Comments 10 comments

The card I am sharing with you today is created using Stampin’ Up! Friends For Life Stamp Set for the greeting and sentiment.  Sweet Days of Autumn Designer Series Paper does most of the work as you can see from the card. I cut strips of several of the different patterns then cut in little pieces.

Challenges:

Creative Creases Challenge — Always A Fun Fold

Pammie’s Inky Pinkies Challenge  

Card Cuts For This Card

  • Basic Black cardstock
    • card base — 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″
    • label card front — 1-1/2″ 4-1/8″
    • card back — 2-1/4″ x 3-3/4″
  • Gold Foil Sheet
    • mat card front — 4″ x 5-1/4″
  • Cajun Craze cardstock
    • mat card front  and inside —3-3/4″ x 5″
    • card back — 2-1/2″ x 4″
  • Basic White cardstock
    • card front and inside panel — 3-3/4″ x 5″

Fold and burnish the card base at the score line, this will form the easel. 

Another blog that has an easel card and another one.  The Cajun Craze mat and the Gold Foil mat will be adhered later.

To create the front panel and inside panel take a piece of Basic White cardstock for both, putting a piece of adhesive sheet the same size on the Basic White pieces.  Take the Sweet Days Of Autumn Designer Series Paper that has been cut into little pieces and place on the Basic White cardstock piece that has the adhesive sheet on it.  Leave a border around the pieces, you can see in the photo above how this is done.

Once you have enough of the little pieces on the card, sprinkle black embossing powder on the exposed parts of the adhesive sheet.  Set with a heat tool. You can see from the photo how it looks.  I did not put the greeting on the card front because I did not want to cover the beauty of this card.

Adhere one of the Cajun Craze pieces to the Gold Foil piece using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Adhere one of the mosaic pieces over the Cajun Craze.  Adhere to the card front at the fold.  Look at one of the photos above to see placement.  Adhere the other mosaic piece to the Cajun Craze piece and adhere to the inside of the card.

On a piece of Basic Black cardstock stamp a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Friends For Life Stamp Set in Versa Mark, sprinkle with Gold Embossing Powder and heat set.  This greeting becomes the stop for the easel.  You can see the placement of the greeting from the photo above. 

 This is how the inside of the card looks.  The sentiment at the top of the panel is from Stampin’ Up! Friends For Life Stamp Set.  The sentiment is stamped in Versa Mark ink on a piece of Basic Black cardstock that is later trimmed to fit the space it is in, sprinkle Gold Embossing Powder and heat set.

This is the back of the card. I die cut the heart from Friends For Life Dies, adhered to a piece of Basic White cardstock, colored the leaves in the heart with Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, Wild Wheat, and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends.  I adhered the heart on the black mat on the back of the card using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  The sentiment is one from long retired Stampin’ Up! Gone Fishing Stamp Set.  I could not find a current stamp set with this sentiment.

A Basic White envelope get a panel of Cajun Craze cardstock embossed using Exposed Brick Embossing Folder adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Friends For Life

Stampin’ Up! Friends For Life

Comments 2 comments

The card I am sharing today is a very easy one to create, yet it turns out beautiful cards.  This will create two cards at the same time.  I used Stampin’ Up! Friends For Life Stamp Set and Dies.  I love the way the word FRIEND turned out.

I am entering  NBUS Challenge as this is a new stamp set for me.

I started with a Pecan Pie cardstock card base.   Cut two coordinating different patterns of Designer Series Paper 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″.   I used Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper.   It made for a real nice card.   Place the two pieces of Designer Series Paper one on top of the other and be sure to keep edges together when you place them in the paper trimmer.  

Make a mark with a pencil at the top of your paper a little off center at maybe 1-3/4″ – 2″.   Turn to the long side and make a mark at 2-1/2″ – 2-3/4″.  Line these two marks up in the paper trimmer, you will be making a diagonal cut.  Once you have made the cut,  take the cut piece and place a piece from each pattern so you have two card focal panels. I also cut a piece of Basic White cardstock  3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″ to adhere the two pieces of the Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper on.  Cut a mat, 4″ x 5-1/4″, I used Basic White cardstock.

Adhere the Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper after it has been adhered to the 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″ of Basic White cardstock to the Basic White mat.  I wrapped two lengths of Faux Leather Trimer around the piece adhering in the back of the panel with tape.  I scrunched up a Glue Dot long ways and placed under the trim on the card front to keep it in place.  I placed Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of the panel and popped on the Pecan Pie card base.

I stamped a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Friends for Life Stamp Set in Memento Black ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock.  I trimmed the greeting using the paper trimmer, dipped the edges of the greeting piece in Pecan Pie ink, then popped on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I stamped in Memento Black in on a piece of Pecan Pie cardstock, the word friend from Stampin’ Up! Friends For Life Stamp Set, then die cut using a die from Friends For Life Dies.

Neutral Adhesive Back Sequins are popped around the card front.

A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse Stamp Set is stamped in Memento Black ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock. An image from Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Sweet Stamp Set is stamped in Memento Black ink in the corner of the panel and colored using a Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends.

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