Stampin’ Up! Happy Birthday No Matter The Weather
Good Day everyone! I hope you are staying in and staying safe and craftin’ away. For some reason, I can’t seem to get my mind around card making and usually, that’s my favorite thing to do. Too many distractions with all that is happening around us, I suppose.
My challenges for the day are The Sisterhood of Crafters — Spring is the theme.
And…
Watercooler Wednesday — Helen’s Challenge All About Occasions
Today, I am using the March Paper Pumpkin to help create my card. I made my card and then saw the one Mary Fish had created when I received her post, great minds think alike, but I will say I CASEd hers since ours are similar. Below is a picture of how the original kit looked when cards were finished. Click here or on the picture and you can see a short video of the original creations.
Start with a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock base with a panel of the same embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder.
Crop the Paper Pumpkin piece using a die from the Stampin’ Up! Rectangle Stitched Dies. Mat with a panel of Stampin’ Up! Basic Black card stock and pop back in the spot it was cropped from. Fussy cut an umbrella from the Stampin’ Up! Pleased As Punch DSP. Pop on the card front using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Stamp a greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles Stamp Set in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock. Fussy cut another umbrella from the Pleased As Punch DSP and add one of the boot elements from the No Matter The Weather Paper Pumpkin. Adhere the panel to the card base.
Adhere a panel of the Pleased As Punch DSP to a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope flap and your card project is finished.

One more thing about this “fam-tastic” kit: The Paper Pumpkin team knows that everyone’s clan is unique. With that in mind, we provided sentiments that would include anyone in your life who feels like family; for instance, “brothers” and “sisters” who have helped you along the journey of life.

My card today is featuring a stamp set from the 2019-2020 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. It is the Little Twinkle stamp set. I think the star heart stamp is so great for so many cards, birthdays, thinking of you, Valentine, Anniversary, you name it you can use it!
My card today features Stampin’ Up! Best Dressed Designer Series Paper(DSP) and the Stampin’ Up! Very Versatile Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Verdant Garden Stamp Set.
The card today is created using Stampin’ Up! Share What You Love Stamp Set. I made this card a one or so ago, but never found a challenge that was suitable for it. So thank you
Once they were colored a mask was placed over the poppies so the Crackle Stamp could be used and not cover the poppies. Three hearts were stamped but it has been so long I forget the stamp set, but you can use any stamp set that has a small heart stamp. Stampin’ Up! Gingham Gala Adhesive Back Sequins are randomly popped over the art piece. A small double loop bow is made using Stampin’ Up! Linen Thread and popped on the stem of the flowers. The greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles Stamp Set is stamped in Highland Heather ink.
Happy Friday everyone, many have a three day weekend and I am sure you are planning a fun time since there is an extra day. This weekend is like the official end of summer and everyone is thinking of the long usually school year ahead. I know many schools do not start until the day after Labor Day, as it should be. Children do not need to go to school in the hot of summer. I think the school system here started the last week of July. That is much too early. The school I worked at for 9 years starts the day after Labor Day. That’s enough lamenting about the school systems. Have a glorious weekend as you relax and have fun with family and friends.
The card I am sharing today is one I haven’t used before, I’ve picked it up, looked at it and put it back on the shelf, so I thought it was time to give it a try. It is the Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles Stamp Set. I have seen so many pretty cards made using it.
My card starts with a Stampin’ Up! Sahara Sand card stock base. Next up is a Stampin’ Up! Pretty Peacock card stock mat for the focal panel which is a panel of Stampin’ Up! Woven Threads Designer Series Paper cropped using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Rectangle Dies. These are adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
The Woven Threads DSP panel being the focal panel is stamped using Stampin’ Up! Pretty Peacock ink and the Stamping’ Up! Very Versailles Stamp Set. Once stamped, a circle die from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Shapes Dies is used to cut a circle from the panel. This circle will be added back to the opening using Stampin’ Up! Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals once the 1″ strip of the Woven Threads DSP is partially adhered over the opening of the circle.
A bow is made using Stampin’ Up! Linen Thread. It is adhered using a Stampin’ Up! Mini Glue Dot. A single butterfly to give just a pop of color to the card is punch from a scrap of the Woven Threads DSP and popped on the circle using a Glue Dot.
The greeting is added in the left corner of the panel using Stampin’ Up! Sahara Sand ink and a stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Around The Corner Stamp Set. I like this stamp set and have cut other stamps apart to achieve the same effect as this stamp set gives. I store these stamps along with this set so I will know where they are when needed for a card. Three Adhesive Backed Sequins are placed randomly around the card front.
The inside sentiment panel is Stampin’ Up! Very Vanilla card stock matted on a panel of the Pretty Peacock card stock and stamped with stamps from the Very Versaille Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock ink.
The envelope flap has been given a panel of the Woven Threads DSP. It coordinates with the strip on the card front.
