Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Mood Easel Card

September 6, 2024 admin

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Mood Stamp Set & Dies along with Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Stamp Set. I also used Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and Pearl Basic Gems.

Card Cuts For This Card

Basic White 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″
Melon Mambo cardstock
- embossed panel card front — 4″ x 5-1/4″
Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper
- inside panel — 4″ x 5-1/4″
- envelope flap — 2-1/4″ x 6″
Brights 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper
mat back of card — 2-3/4″ x 4″

You can see another of my blogs for more instructions.

As I colored the magnolias using Watercolor pencils in Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green, I first stamped the images using Stazon Black ink. Stazon is what you want to use when doing watercoloring. I decided to just use the pencils and not add the water. Maybe I should have because my magnolias have little color to them. The Melon Mambo comes out so pale it is hard to tell there is any color on the magnolias. This is a semi CAS of one I saw on Pinterest but I saw no name. I did add embossing and frayed edges for the Melon Mambo panel.

The Melon Mambo embossed panel is adhered to the easel of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Stamp Set is stamped in Night Of Navy ink on a Basic White banner. The banner is adhered across the card front and one of the magnolias is added above and the other below the banner. Additional leaves are popped around both magnolias.

This is the way the easel looks from the side view.

This is how the card looks as a full head on easel.

A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Stamp Set is stamped on a strip of Basic White cardstock in Night of Navy ink. The word You is die cut using a long, long retired die set from Stampin’ Up! If you have the alphabet dies, then it will be easy to die cut the word. The sentiment piece has a strip of Melon Mambo adhered to each side. A piece of Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper is adhered to the inside card base and the sentiment is adhered over the panel. The magnolia bud is colored using Granny Apple Green, Crush Curry, and Melon Mambo Watercolor Pencils.

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

Stampin’ Up! Splendid Autumn

August 28, 2024 admin

I have seen this card made recently by several different people, so I thought I would give it a try. The beautiful Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper does most of the work. This piece is my favorite from the entire 48 pieces, I would love a full pack of this designer or at least 12 pieces. I also used a butterfly from Sketched Butterflies Dies, and a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Stamp Set. This is a very easy design and can make for a beautiful card if the right paper is used.

Challenges I am entering this card.

Card Cuts:

Mossy Meadow cardstock

Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper
- focal panel — 4″ x 5-1/4″
Textured Metallic 12″ x 12″ Specialty Paper

Adhere the matted flower over the spot where you die cut it from the panel of Splendid Autumn using adhesive of choice.
Using Multipurpose Liquid Glue or adhesive of choice, adhere the 1/8″ strips around the matted flower in the middle of the panel. Start with adhering a strip in the upper left as the photo shows. Continue around the flower until all strips have been adhered.
Die cut a butterfly from the Gold Textured Metallic Specialty Paper.
Adhere the butterfly in the lower left section of the card. (see photo)
Add bling to the butterfly if you so choose.
Stamp a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow ink on a scrap of Basic White cardstock.
Fussy cut the greeting.
Adhere the greeting to a scrap of Gold Textured Metallic Specialty Paper and fussy cut again.

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves — I’m Thankful

August 13, 2024 admin

Welcome! It’s that time — what time is that you ask! Time for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It is the second Tuesday of each month. Our theme for August is “Fall Frenzy” You can always find a group of talented ladies that make up a part of Amy’s Inkin’ Krew. Be sure you check out each person’s blog, you will find much talent and inspiration. You may even find that you would like to CAS(E) one of the cards. That’s an honor for the creator of the card to have someone want to CAS(E) their card. Well let’s begin, I know you are wanting to see all the cards.

For this card that I am sharing today I used Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Stamp Set and Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper.

I started with a 4-1/4″ x 11″ piece of Wild Wheat cardstock as the base card base. Score at 2-1/8″ and 5-1/2″. On the short end that is scored 2-1/8″, mark the piece at the center of the short end, then cut from the 2-1/8″ score line to the mark on the short end using a paper trimmer. Repeat process so you end up with a point on the short end. (Mary give a great diagram of this)

Cut three pieces of Cajun Craze cardstock 3″ x 4″. These are mats for the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper that will be adhered next. Adhere one Cajun Craze cardstock piece to the card front that is behind the folded piece that has the point another to the inside of this panel and the last one to the right side of the inside panel.

This is a CAS of Mary Deatherage’s August 2, 2024 card. She gives great instructions. Here is another of the same that she created. Click here for this one. I believe between the two you can find great instructions.

Using Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper cut three pieces 2-7/8″ x 3-7/8″. Adhere over the Cajun Craze mats using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Cut a 2-7/8″ x 2-7/8″ piece of Cajun Craze and a 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ piece of Thoughtful Journey. Adhere these two pieces together. They will become the diamond on the card front when you adhere them to the portion of the card that has the point using Adhesive on the point only.

Cut a 2-3/4″ x 4″ of Cajun Craze cardstock, and a piece of 2-1/2″ x 3-7/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock. Stamp a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Stamp Set. Stamp a twig from the same stamp set in the lower corner of the Basic White piece.

Another view of the inside of the card.

Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love

June 23, 2024 admin

The card shared today is created using Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Stamp Set and elements from the April 2024 Paper Pumpkin. I used this same design for a card previously, you can see it here.

I am entering these challenges:

NBUS Challenge #63 Never Before Used Schtuff

Pammie’s Inky Pinkies Challenge

EllieBelle’s Corner Craft Challenge

My card base is Pretty Peacock card stock cut 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scoring at 4-1/4″. Open the card and on the 5-1/2″ side come down 2-3/4″ and score. Cut through the score line over to the score line that is 4-1/4″ then from the top cut down the score line to the line you have just cut. You will use this cut piece to emboss using Timber 3D Embossing Folder. This piece will be adhered to the bottom of the front panel. Tinsel Gems are popped around the card front.

Chose a butterfly piece and a gold piece from the April 2024 Paper Pumpkin, adhered the pieces together using Stampin Dimensionals. Adhere the butterfly piece to the front panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Remember to put glue only on the bottom portion of the butterfly piece or you will glue it to the card and you will be unable to open. Take a card from the Paper Pumpkin Kit and trim one of the panel to 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ Adhere this panel to the inside of the card. Take the other piece trimming to 2-1/2′ x 4″. Adhere the piece to the inside of the card front. Make a bow using the Pecan Pie Center Strip Ribbon which is an Online Exclusive. Adhere to the bottom of the butterfly piece using a Glue Dot.

On a piece of Basic Beige cardstock, stamp sentiments from Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Stamp Set. Stamp the HOPE, LOVE, and FAITH in Gold Embossing Powder. Stamp the images with Versa Mark, sprinkling Gold Embossing Powder and heat set using a heat tool. Stamp the other three sentiments in Lost Lagoon ink. The piece of Basic Beige cardstock is adhered to a Pretty Peacock cardstock mat.

An envelope from the April 2024 Paper Pumpkin is used instead of an envelope that must be decorated because as we all know, there is to be no naked envelopes!

Thank you for stopping 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.
