Stampin’ Up! Alphabest Bundle, Hello

Good Monday Morning. It’s start of a new week so fresh ideas, fresh thoughts, fresh everything. Shall we? My card today begins with the Abigail Rose 12 x 12 DSP, colored with Stampin’ Blends, then layered on Early Espresso card stock.

Stampin' UP! Alphabest Bundle, Hello

This particular sheet of Abigail Rose DSP is absolutely stunning – and I chose to color it with Stampin’ Blends: far right is Pale Papaya, center is Cajun Craze, and to the left is Pumpkin Pie – variations on the orange family. You COULD color all the flowers or… you could choose not to color any. This is what i did. The strips are adhered to Early Espresso then wrapped with Open Weave Ribbon in Pale Papaya, then adhered to Pale Papaya card stock. When deciding what to do for a sentiment, I brought out the Best Label Punch that punches the letters perfectly, and the coordinating Alphabest stamp set. The letters are stamped in Early Espresso ink before punching them from the Basic White card stock. Each was adhered with dimensionals over the ribbon. Dimensionals were added to the back of the Pale Papaya panel and adhered to Crumb Cake card base – and the card front was done.

Stampin' Up! Alphabest Bundle, Hello.2

For the inside, I wanted it really simple for a special note: Basic White panel adhered to Pale Papaya, then a 1/2″ strip of a different Abigail Rose 12 x 12 DSP across the bottom. This was added to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base & voila – our card is complete!

Stampin' UP! Alphabest Bundle, Hello.3

For the envelope, more of the original pattern of Abigail Rose DSP for the flap, trimmed to fit, then a 1/2″ strip adhered to the bottom of the envelope front. Now if I choose, I can go back and add a sentiment to the inside when I need a special something or write a lengthy note. I love having cards available.

Stampin’ Up! Fun Fold with New Framed Florets Bundle

WooHoo – it’s Friday – time for a fun fold AND the weekend :O) I’m using the all new Framed Florets Bundle, Fitting Florets DSP and the Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls. The papers in this DSP pack are beautiful – as you can see. They will be available to customers Nov 1 – Dec 31 or while supplies last. They are available to demonstrators now, so if you think you might want to join my team, think it through and give me abuzz – let’s talk. This could be part of your joining order :O) But – on to the card.

Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Fun Fold

I saw a card by Lynn Dunn and adapted it to use this wonderful new bundle. The Night of Navy card base is a standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2, adhered with one of the patterns in the Fitting Florets DSP. I then took another piece of Night of Navy, scored in thirds and adhered it in the center so the card would open to the left. You could have it open the other direction, but I didn’t. I adhered another pattern of the Fitting Florets DSP to the front of the fold and decorated that: the wonderful leaf spray is die cut from Evening Evergreen card stock using the Framed Florets Dies. The flower bouquet was stamped in Memento ink on a Basic White piece using the Framed Florets stamp set. I colored it with Stampin’ Blends: Balmy Blue, Light Night of Navy, Soft Succulent and Light Evening Evergreen. This was die cut with the appropriate die from the Framed Florets Dies. I stamped the sentiment in Evening Evergreen ink on another Basic White piece and fussy cut it.To put the front together… Vellum from the Lovely Layers Vellum Pack adhered with just a bit of Stampin’ Seal (where the flower spray will go – so it doesn’t show), then the leaf spray adhered with dabs of liquid glue; the flower spray has dimensionals on back and is adhered over the leaf spray; the sentiment also has dimensionals and is placed beneath the floral spray. I added the three Adhesive-Backed Swirls to complete the front.

Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Fun Fold

Open the card… decorate the center panel with another piece of the Fitting Florets DSP. The sentiment panel simply has a sweet leaf spray stamped in Soft Succulent – and comes from the Framed Florets stamp set. And the card is done!

Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Fun Fold.3

The envelope has more of the Fitting Florets DSP adhered to the flap and trimmed to fit. The envelope front has the same beautiful leaf spray that is on the card in Soft Succulent ink. And that’s it – simple enough already 😏

Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Hello & welcome to the Inkin’ Krew Thursday blog Hop! You may have popped in from visiting Tara, or you may have simply jumped in right here. However you arrived, welcome! The theme for today’s hop is Thankful and gosh, there are so many ways to show this. It’s beginning to feel a bit like fall here on the east coast and I have chosen to use the Soft Seedlings stamp set and some Pool Party ink with Water painters to create my card today. To me it reminds me of a bird bath with leaves floating in the water :O)

And here’s my card…

Stampin' Up! Soft Seedlings Grateful. hop 10/6

My background is Shimmery card stock, stamped with the Soft Seedlings large leaf stamp, then sort of water colored w/ Pool Party and a Water Painter. Let me tell you first about the stamping… ink the stamp with Mango Melody then with Early Espresso ink and a Blending Brush or a dauber, add color to various edges of the leaf, stem or the “whirly-gigs”, then stamp on the Shimmery card stock. Clean stamp and repeat the process, making it different each time, either more of the Mango Melody or more of the Early Espresso ink. Do this stamping randomly on the Shimmery paper until it is mostly covered. With Pool Party ink and a Water Painter, color in the empty white spaces. Notice it isn’t the same all over, it has depths of shade. Once you have covered with Pool Party to your liking and that ink is dry, spritz gently with water creating water spots – like rain drops. Once that is dry, use the Early Espresso marker to ‘flick’ spots in various places. Allow to dry, then add to a Mango Melody panel. Put dimensionals on the back and add to a Pool Party card base. This ‘happens to be’ a card base from Sale-a-bration – free with a qualified purchase – now since retired. BUT… you could EASILY use a Pool Party card base to make this work just as well!

For the sentiment, I used stamps from the Soft Seedlings stamp set, inked in Early Espresso and stamped on a Basic White strip. The end is ‘bannered’ with the Banners Pick A Punch. I used the same punch to create a bannered end to a strip of Mango Melody, adhered them together and attached with dimensionals to the card front. I stamped another “whirly-gig” using the same process: Mango Melody ink, then adding Early Espresso with a Blending Brush. I fussy cut this piece and added it to the sentiment strip with liquid adhesive. The final touch was the Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots. Love these!

Stampin' Up! Soft Seedlings 'whirly gigs'

For the inside of the card I simply added some narrow strips of Mango Melody and the Shimmery White decorated piece I had cut down the original panel. I wanted lots of room for expressing my gratitude :O)

Now… on to my card

Good Tuesday! I’ve gone a completely different route today, a non Christmas card. I’ve used this lovely Awash in Beauty DSP as a highlight background that really brings the card to life. The stamped flowers & leaves come from the True Beauty stamp set that has coordinating dies, but I’m not using the dies today. The sentiment is from Blessings of Home stamp set and is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink. For a bit of bling I’ve added the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels. The background is a card base from the Soft Sea Foam Cards & Envelopes that were free during Sale-a-bration with a qualified purchase. You could just as easily use Soft Sea Foam card stock for the card base. I was simply wanting to use these :O) This card has lots of layers, but is just that, layers. It’s not difficult.

Stampin' Up! Awash in Beauty DSP & True Beauty.1

I began by stamping the sentiment on the Basic White panel in Mossy Meadow ink. As mentioned, this comes from the Blessings of Home stamp set. I then pulled out Blushing Bride ink and the smallest flower in True Beauty stamp set and stamped in the corners of the panel. Soft Sea Foam ink and the leaf image were stamped randomly around – they also come from the True Beauty stamp set. This panel was added to a Blushing Bride piece, then to Soft Sea Foam. I set this aside for the moment to adhere the Awash in Beauty DSP to a Blushing Bride piece slightly larger. This was added to the Soft Sea Foam card base with dimensionals. I brought back in the stamped section, put dimensionals on it as well and added it to the card. The final touch are the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels scattered on the stamped panel. And there you have it! The inside is totally for writing a note to the recipient. Here’s another photo of the card.

Stampin’ Up! Painted Posies Embossing Folder

Good morning, good morning. Thinking of all those who have been or are in the path of Hurricane Ian. My heart goes out to you and praying for your safety. It’s so very scary.

Today is the day prior to WCMD – WORLD CARD MAKING DAY – and it’s going to be fun! We invite you to join us during our Inkin’ Krew Facebook Live events during the day for some fun card sharing demonstrations AND some give- aways as well. More info is below but you can find the page right here:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/inkinkrewworldcardmakingday2022 – click & ask to join 😁

Today’s card is another pretty simple but elegant card that could so easily have a different sentiment: birthday, anniversary… we could almost call this an ‘all occasion card’. :O)

Stampin' Up! Painted Posies EF & Framed Occasions.1

Gosh, the light isn’t so good on this… it’s difficult to see the embossing :O( This starts with a Thick Basic White A2 card base with the fold at the left. I then took a Basic White panel & ran it through the Painted Posies embossing folder and adhered it to a Basic Black piece. I wrapped this fun Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon around and tied a knot. The sentiment was stamped in Polished Pink ink and comes from Framed Occasions stamp set. I die cut with a banner die from Hydrangea Dies. I put dimensionals on it & added it right over the ribbon. Solid Faceted Gems seemed to be the perfect addition for the sentiment banner. I added black dimensionals to the back of these panels and attached it to the card base.

Stampin' Up! Painted Posies & Framed Occasions.2

For the inside… another Basic White panel and stamped it in Polished Pink using this fun flower stem from Framed Occasions stamp set. It seems so similar to the long flower stem in the embossed front – like a perfect match. This is adhered to a Basic Black and then added to the inside of the card – and done.

Stampin' Up! Pretty Posies EF and Framed Occasions.3

For the envelope, a bit of black & white from the Perfectly Penciled DSP. On the front I stamped the same flower from Framed Occasions twice, re-inking in between, then stamped final time without re-inking. It creates some depth and makes it appear as though in the background. And yes, this was Polished Pink ink.

This Painted Posies embossing folder is in the Annual 2022-2023 Catalog – as are the Hydrangea Dies AND the Framed Occasions stamp set & Gingham Ribbon. The entire list of supplies is below.

Stampin' Up! Daisy Garden Thinking of You.1

You can clearly see the challenge & my creation right next to each other. That works, right? This card is already designated for a friend of mine who underwent surgery today. It begins with a Daffodil Delight A2 card base with the fold at top. The next layer is Basic White just a smidge smaller, run through the Stitched Greenery Die. LOVE this die & I use it lots… The next step was to use the Daisy Garden stamp in my Stamparatus. This allows me to re-ink as needed with the stamp stamping in the same place :O) After stamping, I used the Daffodil Delight Blends to color the flowers: dark near the center of the flower and the light blend for the rest of the flower. I wanted the focus to be only on these and I think that worked well. I adhered this to a Basic Black panel, put dimensionals on the back (and yes, I used the Black Dimensionals 😁) and added it to the card front. The sentiment comes from Framed Occasions stamp set stamped with Memento ink on a Basic White scrap. I die cut it with a banner die from Harvest Dies. I wanted a bit of background for the sentiment so used the same banner die from Harvest Dies to create a Basic Black piece. These were adhered together and added to the card front with more dimensionals. Finally, the Brushed Brass Butterflies were a perfect addition to the card.

For the inside… I used Stepping Stones stamp set and Memento Ink to stamp the sentiment. This is a great set and has some wonderful quoted sentiments. And yes- stamped on a Basic White panel. At the bottom of this I stamped a bit more of the Daisy Garden stamp and colored it with Daffodil Delight Blends. I adhered this to a Basic Black piece, then into the Daffodil Delight card base. And the card was done.

Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreath Fun Fold

Hello Wednesday! Hello world! It’s our daughter’s birthday today – kid #2 – just had to share that :O) She has taken the day off so I’m hoping we can do something fun with her today. At any rate… happy birthday to our dear Wendy 💖

My card for today is a fall fun fold – do you like that alliteration? It uses Cottage Wreaths bundle (Country Wreaths Dies coordinates), Pumpkin Pie Gingham Cottage DSP, Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels and Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon. The banner is die cut with a banner die from Frosted Flurry Dies.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths M Fold

Isn’t this sweet? I’ve stamped the leaves of the wreath in Pale Papaya ink (from Cottage Wreaths stamp set), then the twig portion in Soft Suede ink, then die cut it with the appropriate die from Country Wreaths Dies. I tied a bow with the Open Weave Ribbon in Pale Papaya & adhered it with a glue dot. It’s covered with several Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels. I set this aside to stamp the sentiment… from Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Soft Suede ink on Basic White card stock, then die cut it with the larger banner die from Frosted Flurry Dies. I added two more Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels and set this aside. The last of the stamping for the card front is the sweet leaves on the banner – stamped in Soft Suede ink from the Country Wreaths stamp set and die cut with Country Leaves Dies. I attached this to the banner with liquid glue.

Now for the card base… Thick Basic White 5 1/2 x 11, scored at 4, 5 1/2 & 7. Burnish all score lines well. For the card front, adhere Pumpkin Pie card stock 3 7/8 x 5 3/8, then Gingham Cottage 3 3/4 x 5 1/4. Attach wreath with dimensionals & sentiment banner with dimensionals as well.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths M Fold.2

For the inside… on the left panel add another piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock then Cottage Gingham in a coordinating pattern. The folded area next to it gets a strip of Pumpkin Pie 1 1/4 x 5 3/8 that was embossed with Stripes embossing folder. The next panel is a strip of Basic White same size embossed with the Splatters embossing folder. Stripes & Splatters embossing folders come in the same set :O) and are mini embossing folders. I use them a LOT. The next panel is Basic White and was embossed just on the left section with the Splatters embossing folder. The only decoration is this leaf stamped in Pale Papaya ink from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths M Fold.3
Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths M Fold.4

For the envelope I used more of the Gingham Cottage DSP for the flap, adhered & trimmed to fit ~ and that was it. Super cute card, love that it stands all by itself for display and can be used as a thank you or just a note or … you decide. The M Fold idea came from New Zealand SU! Demonstrator Jackie.

This stamp bundle – Cottage Wreaths and the coordinating Country Wreaths Dies are in the Jul-Dec 2022 Mini Catalog. The DSP, embellishments and embossing folder are all found in the Annual 2022-2023 Catalog. When ordering, please also use my current host code: KJ3MEDQ9 and remember I offer Star-Studded Rewards.
