Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Stamp Set

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! 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.

August 16, 2024 admin

I am sharing a very easy and simple fun fold today. I used Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes, Layering Leaves, and Sketched Butterflies Stamp Sets. Also used was Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper.

These are the card cut you will need to create this card.

These are the challenges I am entering for this card.

Pammie’s Inky Pinkies Challenge

Creative Creases Challenge

Seize The Birthday Challenge with the option of adding a cute critter. I am doing the “Anything Goes” as I do not have a critter on my card.

Color a flower image from Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes Stamp Set using Stampin’ Write Markers, I used Pretty Peacock and Wild Wheat. Give the image a huff of breath after coloring to moisten it so it will stamp well.
Stamp the colored image on one of the 2-3/4″ x 4″ pieces of Basic White cardstock, leaving space at the top for a greeting.
Stamp a greeting in Pretty Peacock ink using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Stamp Set.
Use the splash of dots stamp from Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Stamp Set to stamp dots in Wild Wheat ink around the flower.
Adhere to the left side of your card base front leaving a border around the edges.
On the other piece of Basic White cardstock, stamp in Pretty Peacock ink a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Stamp Set.
Stamp in Pretty Peacock ink in the lower right corner, a flower image from Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Stamp Set.
Adhere the Basic White piece to the inside of the little card using adhesive of choice.
Adhere the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series piece to the little card front.
Adhere the little card to the right side of the card front making sure edges are even. The left edge may extend over the Basic White piece just a bit but this is fine.
Adhere dots from Glossy Dot Assortment.
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.
Using left-over scraps from Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper adhere to the left side of the inside Basic White panel.
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.

A Basic White envelope gets a piece of Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Glue or adhesive of choice. My card is a CAS of a card Sharon Armstrong created, but I had to make it mine so I added to it.

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.
