Stampin’ Up! Changing Leaves

Stampin’ Up! Changing Leaves

The card I am sharing today is created using Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, along with Stampin’ Up! Coffee With Friends Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Stamps Set.  Leaves are die cut using Dies from Changing Leaves Dies and Autumn Leaves Dies.

Challenges:

Addicted to Stamps Challenge —  Make Your Mark

Allsorts Challenge  — Anything Goes

Can You Handle The Pressure  — With A Twist of Leaves

The card base is Basic White cardstock with a piece of the same embossed using the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder.  This embossed piece is adhered down the middle of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Leaves are die cut from different patterns of Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. A label is die cut using a die from Thoughtful Expression Dies.  A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Coffee With Friends Stamp Set is stamped on the label using Early Espresso ink. Stampin’ Dimensionals are popped in the  middle of the greeting label and it is popped on the middle of the card front.  Stampin’ Dimensionals are placed in the middle so the leaves can be tucked unde the label.  The leaves are now arranged around the label and secured using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Birds from Adhesive Backed Dragonfly and Birds are popped on the card front. Daffodil Delight Gems from Glossy Dot Assortment is also popped around the card front.

A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Stamp Set is stamped in Early Espresso ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock.  Leaves are popped in the lower corner of the panel and the panel is adhered to the Basic White card base.

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

Stampin’ Up! Products Used In Creating This Card


 

 

 

 

 

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes

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  

  1. Start with a Shaded Spruce cardstock card base cut 4-1/2″ x 11″
  2. Score at 5-1/2″
  3. Fold and burnish well.
  4. Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock 4-1/8″ x 9-3/4″
  5. Score 2-1/4″ and 4-1/2″.
  6. Fold the 2-1/4″ score line as a mountain fold.
  7. Fold the 4-1/2″ score line as a valley fold.
  8. Adhere the Basic White piece to the card base using adhesive of choice. I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  This piece creates the easel.
  9. Cut a piece of Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper 4″ x 5-1/8″ and 2″ x 3-7/8″.
  10. Adhere the two pieces of designer series paper to the Basic White piece.
  11.   This is the way the easel looks from the side.
  12. 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.
  13. Die cut from Petunia Pop cardstock the flowers using the die that has the flowers on it.  Cut three.
  14. 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.
  15. Adhere the flowers on the background piece of tthe Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper (see photo).
  16. Die cut the big flourish that looks like half a wreath (see first photo) from Lost Lagoon cardstock.
  17. Stamp a greeting on a piece of Basic White cardstock using Shaded Spruce ink.
  18. Trim the greeting piece to 1-1/2″ x 2-1/4″.
  19. Cut a mat from Petunia Pop cardstock 1-5/8″ x 2-3/8″ for the greeting piece.
  20. Adhere the greeting piece to the Petunia Pop cardstock piece.
  21. Adhere 3 Stampin’ Dimensionals down the middle of the greeting.
  22. Pop the greeting in the middle of the easel part.
  23. Tuck the flourish around the greeting.  You may have to cut it into two pieces.
  24. Pop three Birds and Dragonflies around the card front and one on the inside.
  25.   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.

  3. Stamp a greeting in Pretty Peacock ink using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Stamp Set.

  12. Stamp in Pretty Peacock ink, a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies Stamp Set on the Basic White piece for the inside of the card.

  14. Adhere three of the dots from the Glossy Dot Assortment on the left side in the little white space at the top of the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper.

Stampin’ Up! Products Used In Creating This Card


Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature — Hello!

Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature — Hello!

Here I am using Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature Stamp Set again.  It along with Sketched Butterflies are my favorites I believe.  I made my own Designer Series Paper using two of the stamp from the stamp set.

I am entering Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge  — Any Occasion

The card base is Basic White card stock cut 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ and scored at 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4″.  Use a Bone folder and give the 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4″ score lines a good crease.  This will create a Z fold.

Using the two stamps from Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature I stamped the design on a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Pool Party cardstock using Pretty Peacock ink.   I cut the Pool Party piece at 2″ creating two pieces.  They are adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue as you can see in the photo above.  One on the front left of the Z fold and the other on the right side of the inside panel.

I stamped the flower image from Spotlight On Nature stamp set in Versa Mark on a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock, sprinkled White Embossing Poweder over the stamped image and heat set using a heat tool.  I colored the flowers using White Craft ink, let dry thoroughly then colored with Melon Mambo,  Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, and Mossy Meadow ink and a Water painter.

Once the Crumb Cake piece is dry, mat on a piece of Basic White cardstock, then adhere to the left side of the Z fold, making sure to put glue only on the portion of the Crumb Cake piece that will be glued to the left side of the Z fold.  If you put glue on the entire piece you will glue your card closed.  You can see in the above photo, how the piece is adhered.

Add a strip of the Designer Series Paper across the art piece, adding a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves.

Make a bow ( I call this bow a Mary Deatherage bow, as she is the one who showed me how to make it) from Linen Thread and adhere to the corner of the greeting.  Add gems around the card front and inside using gems from Tinsel Gems Four Pack.

On a piece of 2″ x 5-1/4″ Basic White cardstock, stamp a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves and Country Birdhouse Stamp Sets in Pretty Peacock ink.  On the left panel, adhere butterflies that have been die cut using a die from Sketched Butterflies.

This is how the card looks opened all the way.

I also made a piece of Designer Series Paper for the Basic White envelope flap.  

I am happy you stop  by today.  I hope you take the time to linger and look at my other blog posts and cards and that you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day. My hope and wish are that you wilbe inspired to create amazing creations yourself. Feel free to CAS(E) any card. Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me. Have a blessed day!
