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!

Stampin’ Up! Layers Of Beauty – Thinking Of You

Stampin’ Up! Layers Of Beauty – Thinking Of You

The card I am sharing today, turned out to be a real beauty!  I think it is so beautiful and hope that you like it also.  I used Stampin’ Up! Layers Of Beauty Stamp Set for the main focal part.  The flowers turned out beautifully.  I used Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies Stamp Set for the greeting and Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs Stamp Set for the sentiment.

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

  • Basic White cardstock
    • card base — 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″  score at 4-1/4″  This will be a landscape card.
    • embossed layer — 4″ x 5-1/4″ (1st layer on card front)
    • layer that image adheres — 2-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ (4th layer)
    • embossed strip inside — 3/4″ x 5-1/2″
    • inside layer image adheres  — 2″ x 2″
  • Balmy Blue cardstock
    • mat 2nd layer card front  — 3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″
    • mat inside layer — 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″
  • Crumb Cake cardstock
    • mat – 3rd layer card front — 3″ x 4″
    • mat — inside layer — 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″
  • Basic Black cardstock
    • scrap for greeting & sentiment inside
  • Subtles 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper
    • envelope flap — 2-1/4″ x 6″

The card base is Basic White cardstock with a panel and strip of the same embossed using Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder.  The panel is adhered to the card base front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  The embossed strip will be adhered to the inside of the card. (see photo later)  Adhere the Balmy Blue piece over the embossed panel centering it on the panel, then add the Crumb Cake panel and the Basic White panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere.

Using the large flower image from Stampin’ Up! Layers Of Beauty stamp  2 images in Versa Mark on a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock. Sprinkle White Embossing Powder over the stamped images, then emboss using a heat tool. Color the images using White Craft ink and a Water Painter.  You color first with the White ink so you will be able to add color to the images, other wise there will be just a dark blob.  Let the piece dry thoroughly before adding color. Color using Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Granny Apple Green, and Mossy Meadow inks.  Squeeze drops of each color onto a stampin block or something you can add a few drops of water to mis with each color.  Color until you get the color you desire.  Let dry, then die cut the image using a die from Layers Of Beauty Dies.  Stamp a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies stamp set in Versa Mark on a scrap of Basic Black cardstock.  Sprinkle White Embossing Powder and heat set using a heat tool.  Fussy cut the greeting and cut into two pieces, adhere the two pieces to the card front.

Adhered the Balmy Blue, Crumb Cake, and Basic White pieces together, then adhered over the embossed strip.  Cut one of the flower images from the 2nd flower tha was colored.  Adhere the flower over the piece adhered over the embossed strip.  Fussy cut the sentiment from Stampin’ Up!  Wildflower Designs stamp set stamped in Versa Mark and embossed using White Embossing Powder.

It isn’t necessary to add an extra panel to the back of a card, but I like to do so in case, I have a lot to say.  A panel of Basic White is adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and one of the remaining flowers is added to the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. 

A Basic White envelope gets a panel of Subtles 6′ x 6″ Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I almost forgot to say this is a CAS of a card of Brandy Cox.  I had to add a few little things to make it my own.

Stampin’ Up! Products Used In Creating This Card

 

 


Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature — Thinking Of You

Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature — Thinking Of You

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature Stamp Set, along with Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies Stamp Set.

I am entering these challenges:

Addicted To Stamps & More  — Theme this challenge Make Your Mark

Allsorts Challenge  – Theme this challenge Blooms, Bees, and Butterflies

Cupcake Inspirations  Challenge #597  —  Theme this challenge Anything Goes

Daisy Chain Challenge #86 — Theme this challenge Birthday

I started with a Misty Moonlight cardstock card base.  I embossed a piece of Basic White card Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.  This pieces is adhere over the Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Three strips of Poetic Expressions Designer Series Paper  are cut and matted on pieces of Misty Moonlight cardstock.  The strips are adhered around the front of the card over the embossed panel.

On a piece of Basic White cardstock the flower image from Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature Stamp Set is stamped in Memento Black ink. A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies Stamp Set is stamped in the corner of the art piece in Memento Black ink. Using a Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends the greeting is colored over giving a bit of highlight. The flower image is colored using Balmy Blue, Boho Blue, and Granny Apple Green ink.  The art  piece is matted on a piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock, a white ribbon wrapped around the piece, then popped over the three strips using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Misty Moonlight gems from Tinsel Gems Three Pack are popped around the card front.

A butterfly from my large stash of butterflies that I die cut a while back is colored using Balmy Blue ink and a Blending Brush. Two Misty Moonlight gems from Tinsel Gems Three Pack are popped on the butterfly and the butterfly is then adhered to the corner of the art piece using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies Stamp Set is stamped in Memento Black ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock.  Two butterflies from the same stamp set are stamped in the lower right corner and colored using Balmy Blue and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends.

A Basic White envelope get a piece of Poetic Expressions Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
