Stampin’ Up! Fitting Florets Collection, Birthday Fun Fold

It’s Friday and I’m off to a Stampin’ Up! Convention ~ headed to Jacksonville, FL. Yes, it should be raining but it may clear by mid day šŸ˜€ I’m taking a rain coat… Today’s card uses many of the items in the Fitting Florets Collection: Framed Florets and the coordinating Framed Florets Dies (notice how Stampin’ Up! ‘heard’ our pleas to use same titles for coordinating dies!), the Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls and the absolutely lovely Fitting Florets DSP. And ~ this is a fun fold.

Stampin' Up! Fitting Florets Collection. Birthday

This Fitting Florets DSP is simply gorgeous! And I especially love this particular pattern. I hated covering it with the beautiful Framed Florets Dies, but alas, it was necessary. I wanted to show off these beautiful framing dies. After die cutting in Basic White, this becomes two pieces – the center oval and the outside elaborate frame. I stamped the center oval with a sentiment from the Framed Florets in Evening Evergreen ink; adhered the outside frame to the DSP, centering it. I put dimensionals on the center oval and added it to the framed outline. I added the very pretty (and flat) Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls to highlight the sentiment. I debated and debated about adding more of the die cuts available, but I really liked the simplicity of this. The DSP was adhered to Balmy Blue card stock then to the Night of Navy A2 card front.

Stampin' Up! Fitting Florets Collection, Birthday.inside

For the inside, I took another piece of the Fitting Florets DSP and adhered it to the left side. I stamped the small leaf image and the berry ‘spray’ in Evening Evergreen ink and colored with Soft Succulent Blends for the leaves and Balmy Blue Blends for the ‘berries’. I also stamped the sentiment from the Fitting Florets stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink.

Next I created the ‘fun fold’ portion – and here’s how… cut a panel of Night of Navy card stock 4 3/4 x 8 and score at 2, 4, and 6.
Burnish well. Mark 2″ from the bottom on the right side. Trim from the top left corner to the 2″ mark on the right corner. Adhere panels from the Fitting Florets DSP cut at 1 7/8″. To get the correct angle on the DSP, prior to adhering…cut the panels 1 7/8 x 4 3/4 then lay down on table with the Night of Navy piece on top of it. With a ruler, mark the angle on the DSP. Trim 1/8″ off each bottom strip. Lay on top of card stock to see if any more trimming needs to be done, then adhere in place. This is called an Accordion Fun Fold.

Add far left panel to left side of inside of card, centering. I wanted my fun fold section to line up on the bottom with the DSP & Basic White panels. Adhere right section of the fold to the right inside panel. Here’s what it should look like looking down from the top.

Now decorate the rest of the inside to your desire. Here’s what I did… stamp the two smaller flowers on a Basic White scrap in Evening Evergreen ink using the Framed Florets stamp set. Color both with Stamp’ Blends in Soft Succulent; die cut with Framed Florets Dies. Die cut a small leaf from Gold Foil Sheets (I used a scrap. Adhere each with liquid glue as shown.

For the envelope… more of the same Fitting Florets DSP adhered to the envelope flap & trimmed to fit. I then stamped the larger of the two small flowers in Evening Evergreen ink and this time colored them with Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends. It matches the flowers in the DSP! I then stamped the leaves in Evening Evergrren ink and colored with Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends. They too, match the DSP 😊

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.

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

Stampin’ Up! Dies Do The Work!

Good afternoon ~ it’s Sunday and I have pretty card for you today, created by combining a few different dies & mostly Thick Basic White card stock. I was inspired by several white cards I saw on Pinterest.

Stampin' Up! Frosted Flurry Dies, Painted Labels Dies & Grove Dies

I began this card by doing the die cutting from Thick Basic White card stock. It’s a bit stronger than the regular Basic White: the wreath is from Painted Labels Dies; the snowflakes are from Frosted Flurry Dies; and the deer is from the Grove Dies and it is cut from Crumb Cake card stock. I stamped the sentiment using Crumb Cake ink and the new Framed & Festive stamp set. The next step was to run a panel of Basic White through the Timber 3D embossing Folder to create a nice textured background. The stars were adhered to the wreath with a rolled in half glue dot, overlapping ever so slightly. I adhered the wreath directly to the dry embossed panel, then added the deer with mini dimensionals. I added the doubled ribbon bow made from Linen Thread with a glue dot. (This made three points of interest in Crumb Cake!)This completed panel was adhered to the Thick Basic White tent-fold A2 card base. I thought some sparkly would be nice so added the Adhesive Backed Seasonal Sequins (in white) on the snowflake centers.

Stampin' Up! Framed & Festive sentiment

For the inside… I used the embossing buddy to clean the area of static & stamped the sentiment in VersaMark ink, then sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder. The sentiment comes from the new Framed & Festive stamp set (available to customers Nov 1) I had an extra snowflake left over and added it to the sentiment, then another Adhesive Backed Seasonal Sequin, in Gold this time. I adhered this to the inside of the card and the card was done!

Stampin' Up! Frosted Flurry Dies, Painted Labels Dies, Grove Dies.2

I really like this mostly white look and decided to only run a panel of Basic White through the Timber 3D embossing folder, adhere it to the flap and trim to fit. Done, done! And I love it! Is there anything I would change – yes… I would move the deer more to the left so the ears were closer to the snowflakes on the left, creating a little more space. The other thing I would do is stamp the Noel with VersaMark ink and sprinkle with Gold embossing powder & heat set. I might also cut down the embossed panel a bit, layer it on another Basic White, put dimensionals on the back & adhere to the card base. So, you know what this means…I’ll have to make another with these changes šŸ„“šŸ˜€šŸ‘.

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.

Stampin’ Up! Fitting Florets Suite for Christmas +

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.
