Stampin’ Up! Z Fold with One Horse Open Sleigh DSP

Good Friday morning! Is it TGIF for you? Do you have BIG plans or a relaxing time in store for you? Whatever you do, may you be energized. I have an easy Z-Fold card for you today. And yep, using the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP with the Horse & Sleigh bundle.

Stampin' Up! Z fold Horse & Sleigh Bundle

Cut & score the Basic White card base: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 2 1/8 & 4 1/4. Burnish in an accordian fold (mountain, valley) as shown. The mat panels are Early Espresso: 2 x 5 3/8 (cut 2) and 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and adhered with liquid glue. The Designer Series Paper is One Horse Open Sleigh 6×6 size and uses two sheets to create a flowing scene. They are cut 1 7/8 x 5 1/4 (cut 2) and from the second sheet cut 4 x 5 1/4. Adhere these to the Early espresso panels creating the flowing scene. Using the Horse & Sleigh Dies, I die cut three trees from Shimmer paper and adhered them with dots of glue. I could have stopped there, but… cut a Basic white strip 1 x 6 and score at 3″ & 5″. Cut another strip of DSP 3/4 x 6 and score it at 3″ & 5″. Adhere these two together matching the scoring places. On a 5/8 x 3 Shimmer paper strip stamp the sentiment from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Misty Moonlight. Add it to the existing 1 x 6 piece. Add this strip to the left card front (HINT: 3″ mountain fold should be at right edge of DSP panel on the largest panel). Once this glue has dried, close card and with the 1″ end folded in a valley fold, adhere to the right side of the card.. Add embellishments: Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes and a Metallic Pearls in silver.

Stampin' Up! Z Fold Horse & Sleigh, back of card

On the back of the card, I took another of the One Horse Open Sleigh 6×6 sheets and cut it to 4 x 5 1/4. I stamped this sentiment using the Brightest Glow stamp set – and in Misty Moonlight ink.

For the envelope… yet another of the One Horse Open Sleigh 6×6 pieces of DSP cut to 2 1/4 x 6 and adhered to the flap, trimmed to fit. Done.

Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made Thank You

Good Saturday morning! I have a un card for you today with a few bright colors from the Masterfully Made DSP. I used one of the dies in this Gorgeously Made bundle that I haven’t used much – the spiral bound die. This die creates an edge like being torn from a notebook! I love it.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Thank You

I used Azure Afternoon for my card base. Isn’t this a wonderful shade of blue? I roughened up edges of two sheets of paper: Basic White and a flowery panel of the Masterfully Made DSP and adhered them to the card front a bit cockeyed. I took a much smaller section of this beautiful paper and used the spiral die for the top edge and attached it with dimensionals. I die cut this gorgeous leaf using the appropriate die from the Gorgeously Made Dies in Lemon Lime Twist and Vellum. I used a different leaf die from this die set and cut another from Vellum and attached all three to the card front with glue dots. This created a wonderful leaf spray and focal point. I stamped this sentiment in Azure Afternoon ink to a Basic White scrap, die cut with this fun edged die from the Gorgeously Made Dies and adhered it to a scrap from the Masterfully Made DSP, wrapped this fun ribbon around (from the Ribbon Duo Pack, Lemon Lime Twist) and attached the banner with dimensionals. I took another length of this same ribbon and slipped it under the ‘wrap around’ and tied a bow. I adhered it in place with a glue dot. I added three Tinsel Gems 4 Pack in Blueberry Bushel and the card front was complete.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Thank You, inside

For the inside, I used that fabulous spiral die to die cut a Basic White panel and added it to the inside of the card. I die cut another of the fabulous leaves from the Gorgeously Made Dies in Pretty Peacock and attached it with dabs of glue under various leaves to the Basic White panel – and that was it.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made card & envelope

For the envelope, I stamped the front with Azure Afternoon ink using a stamp from the Gorgeously Made stamp set then added another piece of the Masterfully Made DSP to the envelope flap and trimmed it to fit.This is a fun, bright, cheerful thank you card.

Want to get all the goodies to make this card? I can help you do that :O)

Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye View Double Po-Up Card

Hello – it’s Friday and I have a fun fold for you today… a Double Pop-Up Card that I saw on Splitcoast Stampers. You can go to YouTube for a video. This fun fold intrigued me and I simply had to make it. We made this card in my card class a bit ago and everyone had a REALLY good time :O)

Stampin' Up! Birds Eye View Double Pop-Up Card

These little birds are so stinkin’ cute! And I love them with glasses, which is a stamp in the set :O)

I used Stampin’ Blends to color everything: on the front – Daffodil Delight for the bird, S300 & S400 for the Branch, Old Olive for the leaves and I fussy cut them. The sentiment on the front comes from Cheerful Daisies stamp set and stamped in Basic Gray on Basic White card stock, die cut with Cheerful Daisies Dies. It was adhered with dimensionals to an Old Olive piece die cut with Deckled Rectangles Dies and adhered with liquid glue to the card front. Tinsel Gems 4 pack in Berry Burst were added for sparkle & glam.

Delightfully Eclectic was my choice of DSP and I used Old Olive for all the constructive parts. Let me walk you through this card, cuz it’s a fun one. You do need to pay attention to measurements and score lines. :O)

Measurements & detail:

  • Card base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. Lightly mark the center of the score line @ 2 3/4
    • Cut DSP for inside back: 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 and adhere to inside back
  • Cut panel 5 1/2 x 5 1/2, score @ 3, burnish
    • cut DSP to decorate: 5 3/8 x 2 7/8 (left inside section); 5 3/8 x 2 3/8 (right inside section)
    • stamp or decorate as desired (this is a thick card, so I
    • highly recommend only stamping)
    • add to inside of card base with front edges even with one another – see photo
Stampin' Up! Birds Eye View  Pop-Up card, first panel inside

You can see I colored here again… Stampin’ Blends Daffodil Delight for the birds; books are Copper Clay, Pebbled Path, and Pecan Pie. For the book edges I used Light Smoky Slate.

Adhere panel 5 1/4 x 4 of Designer Series Paper Delightfully Eclectic to the inside back panel.

  • Mechanism: 5 3/8 x 2 3/8 scored @ 1 1/4, 2 1/2, 3 3/4 & 5; burnish
    • With 1/2″ end on left, lightly draw lines from first score line to 3rd score line, diagonally to create an X
    • score over these lines, erase pencil marks and burnish
    • add Tear n tape to the 1/2″ end
    • at opposite end of mechanism, add liquid adhesive and adhere to inside card base, left side, centering with score line and pencil mark. You do not want to interfere with the fold, so butt it up against the centerfold
Stampin' Up Birds Eye view mechanism.1
Stampin' Up! birds Eye View mechanism.2
Stampin' Up! Birds Eye View Pop-Up Card view from top

Decorated squares of pop-up:

  • Cut 2 panels 2 3/8 x 2 3/8 same color as card base. Here it is Old Olive.
  • Cut 2 panel 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 from Basic White or patterned paper. I chose Basic White and stamped, colored the 2 squares
    • top square is colored with Daffodil Delight. The ‘branch’ is a die cut from Cheerful Daisies Dies that is really a stem. But cut in Early Espresso it looks like a branch – and is adhered with liquid glue.
    • bottom square is all over stamped eye glasses from the Birds Eye View stamp set.
  • Add these two squares together then to mechanism. Notice how they are separated about 1/4″ This is so they do not interfere in the opening and closing of the card. When the card is closed these pop-ups simply fold right into the card. :O)
Stampin' Up! Bitds Eye View stamp set Pop-Up card

For the envelope… I added more of the stripe from Delightfully Eclectic to flap and trimmed it to fit. For the envelope front I stamped this cute bird from Birds Eye View in Basic Gray ink and colored it with Daffodil Delight Stampin Blends. Gads – no photo! What the heck…

Stampin’ Up! Countryside Blossoms Fun Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning. Is it HOT where you are? It is HOT here… and the humidity makes it difficult to breathe. Ugh… Having said all that, this is a sunshiny kind of card. It’s just fresh looking and clean. And pretty much monochromatic. Did this tease you a bit? Hope so!

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Krew Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Blog Hop Challenge
Stampin' Up! Countryside Blossoms Fun Fold

I began by cutting a length of card stock 4 x 10 and scoring it at 2 1/2 at each end. With the card stock still folded, with the largest die in the Countryside Dies, die cut this piece. The die will hang over a bit on each folded end – this is good! This actually creates the fun fold :O). With the next to largest die, die cut another Basic White piece and emboss it with the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder. There IS a CENTER point to the embossing folder, a main flower. Use that to center the panel you are embossing.

Stampin' Up! Countryside Blossoms fun fold.2

Attach this embossed piece to the left front fold of the fun fold panel. I chose to decorate this embossed piece just a bit. I had in my stash, a flower already created. It was made with dies from the Paper Florist Dies, Basic White and Crushed Curry card stock. Is this a sweet flower or what! I then added these small Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels, four on each side, on a bump of the embossing. And the front was done.

Stampin' Up! Countryside Dies Fun Fold.2

For the inside… with Wild Wheat card stock, I used the 2nd largest die from Countryside Dies to cut a panel and centered it on the inside of the fun fold. I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink on a Basic White panel and die cut this with the third largest die from Countryside Corners Dies. Another flower was on my desk created using the Paper Florist Dies and I attached it to the card. It used Basic White and Crushed Curry card stock.

I felt this card needed a back as it was only about 3 1/2 x 5 and might get lost in the envelope. I added a piece of the Fresh as a Daisy DSP to a Wild Wheat piece (both 4 1/4 x 5 1/2) and centering the fun fold, added it to the new card base. YAY!

Stampin' Up! Countryside Blossoms Fun Fold.3

For the envelope, I added more of the same Fresh as a Daisy DSP, then stamped the sentiment in Wild Wheat ink. This card can now be used as a thank you, a special occasion, a thinking of you, just about any reason :O)

Stampin’ Up! Color & Contour + Delightfully Eclectic Fun Fold

We have a challenge of a ‘fun fold’ for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group today. I’ve combined Delightfully Eclectic DSP and the Color & Contour bundle for my card.

Stampin' Up! Amy's Inkin' Krew 
Blog Hop Group
Stampin' Up! Color & Contour Fun Fold

This fun fold uses a 5 1/2 x 12 piece of Designer Series Paper. Here I’m using Delightfully Eclectic. It’s scored @ 1 3/4, 4 3/4, & 7 3/4 and folded accordian style or valley, mountain, valley. Here’s the finished card, open.

Stampin' Up! Color & Contour Fun Fold inside

Using the Scalloped Contour Dies, cut 3 from Bubble Bath card stock cut 3 1/4 x 4 1/2. Begin by adhering to the back panel first, centering the die cut. Fold DSP at 2nd score line and attach 2nd Bubble Bath die cut so that it is even with the die cut on the bottom panel. Remember, the adhesive will not cover the entire die cut as there is some ‘overhang’. See photo.

Stampin' Up! Color & Contour fun fold

Close entirely and attach the front Scalloped Contour die cut. I do this by turning the die to the wrong side and add adhesive to back side as per this photo. That way I do not put adhesive where it is not needed!

Stampin' Up! Scalloped Contour Dies.3
Stampin' Up! Color & Contour fun fold closed

Cut 3 panels of Basic White card stock and decorate as desired. For the front panel I used a Color & Contour sentiment and stamped it in Memento ink. I then used the blotchy dot stamp and Bubble Bath ink to stamp over the sentiment. I attached this to the front Scalloped Contour die then added a flower already put together from the Paper Florist Dies (cut from Fresh Freesia and Basic White) and added it as you see it. As a final touch to the front, I added three Tinsel Gems in Berry Burst. For the second section of this fun fold, I stamped the flower in Memento ink from Color & Contour stamp set, then colored it with the additional stamps provided: Fresh Freesia for the flowers and Old Olive for the leaves. I then stamped the sentiment on this panel in Memento ink. For the last panel I stamped the sentiment from Color & Contour stamp set in Memento ink, then the splotchy dots in Bubble Bath and added the panel. Once everything was together, I attached a panel of Old Olive card stock ( 4 1/4 x 5 1/2) to the very back to add strength and stability to the card. All done!

Stampin' Up! Color & Contour Fun Fold.4

The envelope got more of the Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the flap, & trimmed to fit. For the front I stamped the leaves in Old Olive, the bud in Memento, then filled the bud with Bubble Bath – all from the Color & Contour stamp set. This is such a sweet, delicate card. I absolutely love it. I hope you do as well.

Now it’s time to continue the hop. Do that by clicking on one of the “previous’ or ‘next’ or a name to continue.

Stampin’ Up! Circle Sayings on a Notecard

The size of a notecard is 3 1/2 x 5 and is simply a sweet size. And, it is not too small to be mailed. My card today is made with one of the Basic White Notecards and Envelopes.

Stampin' Up! Circle Sayings on a Notecard

I began by stamping this cute cupcake from Circle Sayings stamp set in Crumb Cake ink and coloring it with Stampin’ Blends Bubble Bath for the icing and Light Smoky Slate for the wrap, I wanted it to look like a foil so added Wink of Stella for the shine. It doesn’t show in the photo but it does in person :O) I stamped the ‘circle saying’ in Crumb Cake as well and die cut with a circle from Sylish Shapes Dies. For more sparkle (cuz birthdays are special occasions) I die cut a larger circle from Soft Shimmer paper in Bubble Bath – yep, Stylish Shapes Dies. I added a bow made from the Simply Elegant Trim in silver and attached it with a glue dot. This item I set aside.

On a piece of Crumb Cake I stamped repeatedly the words Happy Birthday using a stamp from Go To Greetings – in Crumb Cake ink. I attached the stamped and decorated circle with dimensionals. I cut small strips of the same Soft Glimmer paper in Bubble Bath and attached them to the Notecard front, then added the Crumb Cake panel. The Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Petal Pink seemed to match pretty well, so I added those as well.

Stampin' Up! Circle Sayings Notecard inside

For the inside… I used Bubble Bath ink and Crumb Cake ink to stamp sentiments from Circle Sayings stamp set on a Basic White piece. This was added to a very slightly larger panel of Crumb Cake and added to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Circle Saying Notecard and Envelope

For the envelope I used another sentiment from Go To Greetings stamp set to stamp in Crumb Cake ink – and that was it. I kept it very simple.

Stampin’ Up! Paper Florist Dies

Good morning, or afternoon as the case may be. I hope you are taking advantage of some of the super duper happenings at Stampin’ Up! See below for more information about that.

In my class yesterday we worked on a 3D project with the Paper Florist Dies. I found these shadow boxes, painted them and let the ladies be as creative as they wanted with these Paper Florist Dies. Here’s my sample.

Stampin' Up! Paper Florist Dies Shadow Box

The colors in here are Petal Pink, Crushed Curry, Basic Black, Basic White and Pretty Peacock, Flirty Flamingo. Greens used were Granny Apple Green and Lemon Line Twist. I used a glue gun to add these to the box, but the students didn’t want to use that. They used dimensionals, sometimes stacking them. Here are their creations.

Stampin' Up! Paper Florist Dies.2
Stampin' Up! Paper Florist Dies.3

Additional colors used on these beautiful shadow boxes were: Poppy Parade, Berry Burst, Lemon Lolly, Fresh Freesia and Misty Moonlight. The greens were the same – Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lime Twist. Didn’t they do a great job?! I really like how each person is reflective of their own selves.

Now, about all those specials that Stampin’ Up! is offering: Paper Pumpkin is first as it is Jul 6-7 and that ends today. Items are still available but are first come first serve.

Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Thank You

Wow! Did you see fireworks last night? Were they spectacular or what?! Hope everyone is safe… I have a quick and easy card for you today made with the Earthen Textures DSP, a die from Cheerful Daisy Dies that seems to coordinate well , and Gorgeously Made stamp set for the sentiment and a fun decorative stamp for the inside and the envelope. I also brought in a die from the Timeless Arrangement Dies for the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures DSP

Isn’t this pretty DSP? It looks a bit like sea grass to me. And because of that I pulled this fun die from Cheerful Daisies Dies to accent. Those die cuts are from Copper Clay and Gray Granite. I layered the Earthen Textures DSP to a Gray Granite panel just slightly larger, then with dimensionals added it to a Copper Clay card base. The sentiment is from the Gorgeously Made stamp set stamped in Copper Clay ink on a Basic White piece. This was die cut with a die from Timeless Arrangements Dies and added with dimensionals over the ‘sea grass’ die cuts.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made stamp set

For the inside I looked for a stamp that simulated the DSP on the card front and found this stamp from Gorgeously Made stamp set – and stamped it with Copper Clay ink on the Basic White panel. This piece was attached to a Gray Granite panel slightly larger, then directly to the inside of the card base. DONE!

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures DSP card and envelope

For the envelope… The same stamp was used for the envelope front as the inside of the card, from Gorgeously Made stamp set. Another swatch of the Earthen Textures DSP was added to the envelope – and this card is ready.
