Stampin’ Up! Santa Express Mem’ries & More

Happy THANKSGIVING! WOOHOO! HELLO TURKEY šŸ˜€ Yum… We will be celebrating with family on Saturday, not today. Our kids are with their spouses families today, then come here to celebrate with us. I’m thankful they want to come and it will be so good to have us all together. So MUCH for which to be thankful. Amen & amen.

What I’m sharing with you today is cards I have made with the Santa Express Memories & More Card Pack and Cards & Envelopes. I haven’t quite finished the pack yet, but here are twelve of them ready to go :O)

Stampin' Up! Santa Express.1
Stampin' Up! Santa Express.2

I’ve used elements from the Santa Express Mem’ries & More Card Pack and a few other items from my stash. The coordinating colors are Poppy Parade, Shaded Spruce, Basic White, Mint Macaron &Pool Party ~ so you’ll see card stocks cut to fit that utilize those colors of card stock. I’ve also used VersaMark ink & White Embossing Powder, Pearlized Enamel Effects (in red), 2022-2024 In Color Baker’s Twine (Sweet Sorbet & White), Deckled Rectangle Dies, Glittered Organdy Ribbon, Adhesive-Backed Seasonal Sequins in Red, Green & White, Snowfall Accents Puff Paint, Wintry 3D Embossing Folder (pine fronds), Real Red 3/8″ Ribbon Combo Pack, Hope & Peace Stamp set with Shaded Spruce ink, and a sentiment from the October ’22 Paper Pumpkin kit. This is such a great card pack, with matching cards & envelopes. Thank you Amy Koenders for the gift of these for attending On Stage! As I said, I have a few more to make.

Stampin’ Up! New Month, New SU! Offerings

Good Tuesday morning! It’s raining here this morning and has all night. Temperatures went up, now they are dropping ~ strange weather pattern. But… ‘nuf of that… let’s talk new offerings from Stampin’ Up! It’s the Fitting Florets Suite of products available now! WooHoo. Demonstrators, me included, have been playing with this for a bit and are really using it a lot. For today’s example, I’ve paired the Framed Florets stamp set with a different DSP only because the DSP was cut & sitting in front of me. šŸ˜ Here’s the card & the inside so you can see some of the beauty of the flowers. I’ll also share a few of the cards I’ve already shared with this beautious suite.

Stampin' Up! Framed Florets w/ Abigail Rose DSP
Stampin' UP! Framed Florets w/ Abigail Rose DSP

For the card front I’ve fussy cut this sentiment from Framed Florets stamp set and adhered it over the Sahara Sand ribbon from the Twill Combo Pack. For the inside of the card I’ve stamped this gorgeous floral spray in Early Espresso and colored it with Stampin’ Blends (So Saffron, Granny Apple Green and Poppy Parade) to coordinate with the card front. This spray stamp is just so sweet and delicate. And it coordinates so well with the red roses in this DSP. Here are a couple of other cards I’ve created from this suite of products.

Stampin' Up! Fitting Florets example 1

In this card you can see a different stamp set used from the suite, Framed & Festive stamp set – and a couple of the stunning leaf dies. The oval dies in this are wonderful! The Gold Adhesive Swirls are used on each of the cards below for extra embellishment.

In the photo with the blue DSP – that’s from this suite of products, as are the stamps on the front of the card, Framed Florets stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Fitting Florets example 2

Here’s another example of the DSP in this suite of products, along with more of the floral spray and dies.

In the photo with the greens & berries DSP, I colored the berries with Stampin’ Blends and you can see another of the oval dies & leaf dies too plus the Gold Adhesive Swirls.

Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets Dies Christmas in White

Good Saturday morning! It is a lovely fall morning here on the East Coast. I looked out the back windows and suddenly (as if overnight) saw all shades of yellow & reds. It’s really here – fall. I love the temperatures this time of year: crisp mornings, clear days, stunning color changes almost while we watch.

I’v e a clean white card for you today, using some new products (again) ~ the Framed Florets stamp set, the Framed Florets Dies and the Framed & Festive stamp set as well. I’ve pulled in Brushed Metallic 12 x 123 sheets and Gold embossing with these new products. Let’s take a peek.

Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Dies & C'mas  in White

Isn’t this frame just gorgeous! For one thing, it’s oval, for another it has wonderful shapes. This particular oval die cuts two items: the oval in the center & the ‘frame’ of the outside. In other words, the center oval could be put on dimensionals. Here I adhered it directly to the Basic White panel after embossing in gold. Here were my steps:

  • do all the die cuts:
    • frame & its center oval in Basic White using the Framed Florets Dies
    • leaves die cut from Brushed Metallic 12 x 12 card stock ~ this comes in copper, brass & gold. I chose scraps of copper & gold. The leaves are from the Framed Florets Dies.
  • stamp the sentiment: on the center oval die cut, clean with the embossing buddy, stamp the image with VersaMark ink, then sprinkle with gold embossing powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.
  • Adhere large frame, centering, on a 4 x 5 1/4 panel of Basic White
  • Adhere leaves following the oval of the frame
  • Adhere the center oval, slipping it behind the die cut leaves
  • Add Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls for additional accent
  • Adhere this completed panel with dimensionals to the Thick Basic White card base.
Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Dies.2

For the inside… Another of the ovals in Framed Florets dies was die cut in Basic White and adhered to a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel. The sentiment is stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink using the Hope & Peace stamp set. The branched leaves were stamped with Memento ink and colored with Soft Succulent Blends. The leaves come from the Framed Florets stamp set and were die cut with Framed Florets Dies. They were adhered to the frame as was another die cut leaf from Brushed Metallic 12 x 12 card stock. Because the Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls are pretty flat, I added those to the inside to add to the gold & white theme. This panel was adhered to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base and the card was complete.

Stampin' Up! Framed Florets C'mas in White.3

For the envelope I simply stamped the sentiment from Framed & Festive stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink. If you would like to see more cards I have made with these new products, look here, here, and here.

Stampin’ Up! Birthday Fun Fold w/ Framed Florets Bundle

Good Saturday morning.I’ve created a fun fold birthday card for you today using the new Framed Florets Bundle. The card cuts will be listed as I go along and then again at the bottom of this post so you too, can create this fun fold.

Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Bundle & Fun Fold.1

Isn’t this paper (DSP) just beautiful? I guess it’s a bit tricky to see much of it here :0] You’ll have to take my word for it – unless of course you decide you want to get it now… in which case, keep reading and I’ll tell you how you can. For now, a couple more photos to see this card and how it stands to really it off.

Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Bundle Fun Fold.2
Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Bundle Fun Fold.3

The photo to the left shows more of this particular DSP (Fitting Florets 12 x 12 DSP) and the above photo shows how this stands to show off the fun fold.

This is a two part card: the card base and the fun fold adhered together. The card base is Night of Navy 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and has a single strip of Fitting Florets DSP adhered to either side (3/4 x 5 1/4). The fun fold portion is also Night of Navy 8 x 5 1/2 scored on the long side at 1 1/2, 2 3/4, 5 1/4 and 6 1/2. Burnish the folds: mountain, valley, valley, mountain. Add Fitting Florets DSP to each valley fold and the far right mountain fold in this order: 1 x 5 1/4, 1 x 5 1/4 and finally 1 1/4 x 5 1/4. See photo as a guide. The center message panel is Basic White 2 1/4 x 5 1/4.

The front panel is Night of Navy 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 and is adhered to the far left section of the fun fold, but centered when the card is closed – see 1st photo! Adhered to that is Balmy Blue 3 1/4 x 5 1/4. Adhered to that is the Basic White decorated panel. Stamp & decorate prior to adhering it!

To decorate this panel: Stamp the sentiment from Framed Florets stamp set in Night of Navy ink at the upper portion of the Basic White front panel; Stamp the leaf spray , also from Framed Florets stamp set, in Memento Black ink and color with Light Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends. Stamp the floral bouquet from Framed Florets stamp set on a separate panel of Basic White, color with Stampin’ Blends: Polished Pink (both Light & Dark Blends), Soft Succulent (both Light & Dark), & Petal Pink; die cut with Framed Florets Dies. Add dimensionals to back and adhere to panel front. Create this beautiful bow with Silver-Threaded Twine that has been separated. Adhere bow with a glue dot. Add three Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls. Now add this completed panel to the front and your fun fold is done. :O) Because I was playing with the stamp set and it’s coordinating dies, I stamped the very cute berry spray from Framed Florets stamp set and colored with Polished Pink Blends then added it to the inner Basic White panel with liquid glue.

Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Bundle Fun Fold.4

For the envelope I added more of the same pattern from the Fitting Florets DSP pack to the flap, trimmed to fit. I then then stamped this sweet flower from the Framed Florets stamp set in Memento Black ink on the envelope front & colored it with Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends. Just as a reminder, when using Stampin’ Blends on an envelope, slip a heavy card stock in the envelope so the alcohol ink color does not go through to the other side of the envelope :O)

Such a beautiful Suite of products – this Framed Florets. It includes two stamp sets (one of which is Christmas sentiments) and this one with floral & leaf patterns + various sentiments, coordinating Framed Florets Dies, the Fitting Florets DSP and the Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls. All of these are available to demonstrators now – and will be available to customers 1 Nov – Dec 31. After that point, only the Framed Florets, & coordinating Framed Florets Dies will be available in the Jan-Jun 2023 Mini Catalog. For other cards I have made with this bundle/ suite of products, see here & here.

In yesterday’s post I mentioned a SU! box was arriving with some new products – and I’m here to share that with you and a card I made using the products and one or two others. Here’s the card…

Stampin' Up! Fitting Florets Suite.Christmas.1

Just look at that gorgeous framed oval – love! And the gold foil spray & die cut Evening Evergreen leaves – and don’t forget the Fitting Florets DSP! Oh goodness… I began by coloring the berries of the Fitting Florets DSP with my Light Real Red Stampin’ Blends. They were white and I wanted this to be full of color and – well, that’s what I did. This was mounted on a panel of Soft Succulent card stock and added to the same color card base with dimensionals. I added a strip of Real Red card stock for more color, right across the middle. I then did all these die cuts using the Framed Florets Dies: from Gold Foil Sheets, the spray and a couple of leaves; from Evening Evergreen card stock, more small leaves and this stunning oval frame. Before die cutting the Evening Evergreen frame I added Foam Adhesive Sheets to the back so it would be evenly raised. See photos

I stamped the sentiment from Framed & Festive stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink on a Basic White piece and die cut this with the same oval to create the center portion for the sentiment. Once stamped I adhered this with liquid glue to the center of the frame, then the Evening Evergreen frame to the center of the card. I added most of the die cut pieces with liquid glue to further enhance the frame. Then I tied a bow using the Open Weave Ribbon in Soft Succulent. I then clipped down the middle of each bow & strands to make this fluffy gorgeous bow. This was adhered with glue dots. The final touch was the stunning Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls that are part of the Fitting Florets Suite of products.

For the inside I used one of the dies from the Framed Florets Dies that coordinates with one of the flowers in the Fitting Florets DSP to die cut a flower and added it to the bottom of a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from Framed & Festive stamp set (part of the suite!) in Evening Evergreen ink, adhered the panel to the inside of the card base & done!

For the envelope, I colored another piece of the same Fitting Florets DSP with Light Real Red Stampin’ Blends and added it to the flap, and trimmed to fit. For the front of the envelope I stamped the sentiment from Framed & Festive stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink.
