Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies

Posted on by
8

Good morning stamping friends. It’s Saturday! The other day I mentioned that my box of goodies had arrived from Stampin’ Up! with fun new products from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. Well, I didn’t know where to begin…. but I was drawn to the daisies. So here we go… Cheerful Daisies Bundle, first play.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies

The daisies is all one die, until I added layers. :O) But I want you to understand/ know, this is all together. The other thing is, they can be cut apart after die cutting to use individually. Look on page 111 of the new catalog at the coordinating Fresh as a Daisy DSP. This particular paper came from the large sheet with all the individual patterns. The coordinating colors here are Pretty Peacock (a returning color) and Wild Wheat, a new 2023-2025 In Color. This photo makes it look more yellow than it really is, but it’s more of a dark mustard. I’m really liking it.

Here’s the ‘how to’ for this card. I took apart the cover sheet of this DSP, setting aside all the other squares and rectangles cut from the paper. This DSP panel is 4 x 5 1/4. I adhered it to a Basic White piece 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, then onto a Wild Wheat card base just an eensy bit larger. I die cut the large panel of daises from Thick Basic White, then the layers that go on each of the three. I used a sponge dauber to lightly color, using Wild Wheat ink. I then adhered these in place with tiny dabs of liquid glue. I die cut the sentiment banner – yep, part of the dies in the Cheerful daisies Dies, in Wild Wheat and while I was at it die cut the two daisies ‘centers’ also from Wild Wheat. The sentiment I chose is cute, but had extra words I didn’t want to use, so I taped those off, I stamped in VersaMark, removed the tape and stamped on the banner; sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and heat set from the back side. Why the back side? I find it gives a more clear finish and doesn’t blow off any of the little powders.

I added the little die cut ‘circles’ to the backs of the two larger daises. I wanted all the detail to show, but wanted some color behind as well. I added dimensionals to the daisies and adhered them in place. I slipped the banner under one of the daisies and adhered with liquid glue. I added the bow with glue dots using the Simply Elegant Trim in gold. I added three Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems in Lemon Lolly (new color and new gems – available May 2!)

For the inside…. On a Basic White panel I stamped the daisy from Cheerful Daisies stamp set. This is a two-step stamp; the background is stamped off While Wheat; the more detail stamp is full strength Wild Wheat. The center is stamped in Early Espresso ink. I wanted to carry the Pretty Peacock to the inside of the card, so adhered the panel to a slightly larger piece. Now… here’s the really funny part… are you ready?

True confessions: I went to adhere this to the inside of the Wild Wheat card base and realized I had adhered the daisies & banner upside down!!! Now I just have to say – I have never done this before and I was really surprised – AND disappointed. I trimmed the upper portion of the card off and cut it down a bit so it would fit on a Basic White Thick card base. It worked, just not what I had wanted.

For the envelope… More of the fun Fresh as a Daisy DSP on the flap, trimmed to fit., and the same stamped daisy on the envelope front.

Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by

We have a fun theme challenge today for our scheduled weekly hop – outdoors!

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Hop Challenge
Stampion' Up! Let's Set Sail. hop 4/20

This is a fun fold… hmmm what do we call this? Side fold? I don’t know. but let me tell you how to make this…

The card base is cut 8 1/4 x 4 1/4 and scored on the long side at 5 1/2. I used the new Misty Moonlight for the base. It has just a hint of gray in it. And it’s perfect for a sailing card :O) I cut a panel of the Sun Prints DSP in stripe 2 1/2 x 4 (yep, it’s retiring and I’m trying to use it!). This was adhered to the left front fold. I wrapped a length of Baker’s Twine (carrying over!) from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack in Crumb Cake around it twice and tied a knot, which I adhered with a glue dot right at the knot. For the inside, I added a piece of another design but also from Sun Prints DSP, to the right inside of the card base (4 1/8 x 5 3/8). THEN… I cut Basic White card stock 7 1/4 x 3 1/2 and scored it at 3 5/8. This becomes the right-sided fold that flips over the front left panel of the card base. I stamped the two sentiments in Misty Moonlight ink (new!) from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set (retiring!) I then added this basic white folded piece to the card base, as shown.

Stampin' Up! Let's Set Sail fun fold
Stampin' Up! Let's Set Sail fun. fold, left side
Stampin' Up! Let's Set Sail front image

For the front of that Basic White addition , I added another piece of the Sun Prints DSP (retiring!) to the front of that fold. It was cut 3 3/8 x 3 3/8. Now to decorate that square… Using the Stylish Shapes Dies largest circle, I die cut a piece of the Hues of Happiness DSP (yep, retiring). I stamped the bird image from Let’s Set Sail in Memento ink, then added that circle with dimensionals. Now… the sailboat :O), the boat was stamped in Misty Moonlight ink; the sails were stamped in Crushed Curry ink, then punched with the Sailboat Builder Punch. I added the boat directly to the circle, then attached the sails with mini dimensionals. And guess what, the card was done.

Stampin' Up! Let's Set Sail card & envelope for the Thur hop

For the envelope… more of the Sun Prints DSP on the flap trimmed to fit and another narrow strip added to the bottom of the envelope front. This is yet another great masculine card for my stash – yay!

My demonstrator order of new products arrived from Stampin’ Up! late last night. Somehow it got ‘lost in the shuffle’ and finally arrived. I cannot WAIT TO PLAY!!! What will I play with first? Probably the daisies… I’m a daisy FAN! :O) But who knows?

Time to move on in the hop… click the ‘next’ button to visit Carol, or click on a name if you want to skip around. Enjoy!

Stampin' Up! Hand Penned Fun Fold
Stampin' Up! Hand Penned Fun Fold, inside

This is a great card to show off both sides of the Designer Series Paper. In this case, that is Perfectly Penciled DSP (retiring). I’ve coordinated the Hand Penned stamp set (retiring) and the Penned Flowers Dies (retiring), Polished Pink card stock (retiring), Polished Pink & Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends (retiring) + the Open Weave Ribbon in Pale Papaya (retiring). Yep – I loaded this card with retiring items :O)

What is not retiring that is used on this card are the Old Olive Stampin’ Blends (still a great buy when you order $75 & up of product on FREE SHIPPING day), Basic White card stock, Memento ink, Basic White Medium Envelopes. Did I forget anything?

So the ‘how to’ to make this card.

Begin with your Perfectly Penciled DSP cutting it 5 1/4 x 12 and scoring on the long side @ 2, 4, 8, and 10″. Measure down from the top on each end, 2 5/8″ and place a mark on the edge. Now trim from the 4″ score line to the 2 5/8″ mark on the left side. Do the same on the right side, trimming from the 8″ score down to the 2 5/8″ mark. Adhere those pieces to each corner edge (see the dotted pattern in each bottom corner? Burnish the folds completely.

Cut a backing card base (in this case Polished Pink) 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and adhere to the back of the DSP. This creates strength for the card.

Stampin' Up! Hand Penned fun fold, back of card

Cut another piece in Polished Pink 2 1/2 x 2 1/2. Adhere this panel with corner points on the burnished score line, with adhesive on the left side only. Adhere a Basic White panel cut to 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 to the Polished Pink square. Now decorate!

For decoration… Using the Hand Penned stamp set, I stamped this fun floral image in Memento ink on Basic White, colored it with Stampin’ Blends: Polished Pink, Pale Papaya and Old Olive. I die cut the image with the coordinating Penned Flower Dies and attached it to the Basic White square with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink on a Basic White scrap – yes, also from Hand Penned stamp set – and fussy cut it. This was attached with dimensionals as well. I tied a bow with the Open Weave Ribbon in Pale Papaya and attached it with a glue dot. Front, done!

For the inside.. the Basic White panel is cut 3 3/4 x 5. I wanted to be certain when stamping the inside, that nothing showed when the card was closed. I ‘eyeballed’ a bit lower than center and stamped the sentiment from Hand Penned stamp set in memento ink. I then stamped the flowers, also from Hand Penned stamp set, in Polished Pink ink. I attached this panel to the inside – and voila! a fun fold and gorgeous!

Stampin' Up! Hand Penned fun fold, card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the Perfectly Penciled DSP to the flap, trimmed to fit. For the front… a sweet stamped flower in Polished Pink ink from the Hand Penned stamp set.

I want to see what you create with this fun fold, retiring DSP or new. Enjoy creating!

Thanks for stopping by. May you have a beautiful day.

Make someone happy sending them a handmade card filled with love.

It’s Monday morning and a full day ahead… what are your plans? I’ve a bit of computer work today, card making :o), gardening :O) and more, but first, I want to share this masculine birthday card. Part of what makes it masculine is the colors, another is its simplicity and non-fussiness.

I began with retiring Sahara Sand card stock to make this A2 top fold card. Does it seem that I’m trying to use my stash in preparation for all the new? Well – you are sooooo right! I have gotten stuck however, using what’s on my desk. :O( Nonetheless… here’s the card.

Stampin' Up! Masculine birthday w/ By the Bay DSP

As I mentioned, Sahara Sand for the card base. Starting from the front:

  • By the Bay DSP cut 2 7/8 x 3 7/8
  • Layer this to Basic White 3 x 4
  • Adhere both to a coordinating By the Bay DSP 3 7/8 x 5 1/8
  • And Balmy Blue 4 x 5 1/4.
  • Wrap with a length of Burlap Ribbon from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack (carrying over!). Adhere ribbon in back with Stampin’ Seal
  • Adhere all this to the card base with dimensionals
  • Stamp the sentiment in Night of Navy ink on a Basic White scrap. This sentiment comes from Waves of Inspiration stamp set – carrying over!
  • Die cut sentiment with Waves Dies, carrying over… and adhere over the ribbon with dimensionals
  • Add three Enamel Dot Essentials in Crumb Cake and the front is complete
Stampin' Up! Masculine birthday, inside

For the inside… adhere a Basic White 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 to a Balmy Blue piece 4 x 5 1/4. Adhere a strip of By the Bay DSP to the bottom and attach all this to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Masculine birthday w/ By the Bay, card & envelope

The envelope… super simple… a coordinating piece of By the Bay DSP for the envelope flap and this masculine card is ready to be sent.

Here’s the exciting part about the products used for this card… The Waves of Inspiration stamp set and its coordinating Waves Dies are carrying over… just not as a bundle. The Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack is also carrying over. Balmy Blue, Night of Navy and Basic White card stock are also carrying over, as are the Balmy Blue ink and Night of Navy inks. :O) What is not carrying over into the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog is the By the Bay Designer Series Paper and the Enamel Dot Essentials or the Sahara Sand card stock. Prices are changing in the new catalog… production costs have risen as everything else has risen (such as food costs, clothing costs, gasoline, etc.) If you have a chance, check out getting these carry-over items now before the price increases with the new catalog. You may do that order from me here.

When you place an order of $50 or more (before shipping & taxes), you receive from me a SU! item valued up to $10 + Star-Studded Rewards. If your order exceeds $150, do not use my HOST CODE as SU! has it’s own rewards from which you may choose. You will still receive that FREE ITEM from me up to $10 + the Star-Studded Rewards.  And if your order is $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials. BONUS! :O)

So MANY exciting new colors in the 2023-2024 Annual catalog. If you were a customer of mine this past year and placed an order over $50, you should be receiving your catalog – they have been mailed! And having said that, I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.

Stampin’ Up! Waves of Inspiration Masculine Card

Posted on by
6

Good Sunday morning! I have a quick and easy masculine card for you today using By the Bay Designer Series Paper and the Waves of Inspiration stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Waves of Inspiration

Notice how the DSP has a continuous flow of the pattern. I love it when that happens! The DSP was cut 1 x 4 (three of them) and adhered to a Balmy Blue panel 3 1/2 x 4 1/2. This was attached to a very slightly larger Sahara Sand card stock, 3 5/8 x 4 5/8. I wrapped this gorgeous Night of Navy Bordered Ribbon around these panels and tied a knot. These panels were adhered the to a Night of Navy card base with dimensionals. I took this wonderful image of the seagull on pilings from Waves of Inspiration stamp set and stamped it with Sahara Sand ink. I colored the bill of the seagull very lightly with Watercolor Pencils Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie, die cut with the Waves Dies and attached it over the ribbon with dimensionals. And the card front was done.

Stampin' Up! Waves of Inspiration Masculine card inside.
Stampin' Up! By the Bay DSP

For the inside…. a Sahara Sand panel was attached to the inside of the card, then a piece of Basic White, then a strip of the Bay the Bay on the left side. Also on the inside, I added another piece of the By the Bay DSP to the upper portion of the inside. It just really tied everything together and made the card extra special.

Now for the envelope…

Stampin' Up! Waves of Inspiration card & envelope

This Waves of Inspiration stamp set is just gorgeous! I stamped it first in Balmy Blue ink on the envelope front, then lightly added Night of Navy ink in places and stamped it again. It is really quite stunning. Of course, more of the By the Bay DSP on the envelope flap trimmed to fit.

Here’s the exciting part about the products used for this card… The Waves of Inspiration stamp set and its coordinating Waves Dies are carrying over… just not as a bundle. The Night of Navy Bordered Ribbon is also carrying over. Balmy Blue, Night of Navy and Basic White card stock are also carrying over, as are the Balmy Blue ink and Night of Navy ink. AND the Watercolor Pencils are also carrying over :O) What is not carrying over into the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog is the By the Bay Designer Series Paper.

Prices are changing in the new catalog… production costs have risen as everything else has risen (such as food costs, clothing costs, gasoline, etc.) If you have a chance, check out getting these carry-over items now before the price increases with the new catalog. You may do that order from me here.

As so many items are being sold out rapidly, best thing to do is visit my ‘shop’ and see what’s still available. If it’s listed, it’s available. If it isn’t listed, it’s sold out – simple as that. The sale goes to May 1, 2023.

And… here’s my HOST CODE CXR49K4W for ordering any products from the retiring lists or any other items… order from me here and be sure to use my HOST CODE CXR49K4W. Look for my name listed as your demonstrator at the top of the page!

When you place an order of $50 or more (before shipping & taxes), you receive from me a SU! item valued up to $10 + Star-Studded Rewards. If your order exceeds $150, do not use my HOST CODE as SU! has it’s own rewards from which you may choose. You will still receive that FREE ITEM from me up to $10 + the Star-Studded Rewards.  And if your order is $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials. BONUS! :O)

So MANY exciting new colors in the 2023-2024 Annual catalog. If you were a customer of mine this past year and placed an order over $50, you should be receiving your catalog – they have been mailed!

Stampin’ Up! TriFold Shutter Card

Posted on by
4

Happy Friday! Fun folds are just that, fun. And sometimes easier than they look. I’m sharing a trifold shutter card today that really is quite easy and is a real “show off”. It’s a card within a card. :O) I’ve used Fancy Flora DSP (again!) as it has what I call, a continuous pattern. To coordinate with that, I also used the Two-Tone Flora stamp set and it’s coordinating Two-Tone Dies.

Stampin' Up! Trifold Shutter Card with DSP

This begins with a full length of card stock 11 x 5 1/2, scored on the long side at 1 3/4, 3 1/2, 5 1/4 and 7. I used Petal Pink card stock for this. Burnish the score lines: mountain, valley, mountain and valley. The next step is to place this on the paper trimmer with the short side to the top and at 1 1/4. Cut from the 1 3/4 score line to the 5 1/4 score line. Turn it over and do the same on the other side. It should look like this.

Stampin' Up! Trifold Shutter Card

Cut Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper: it’s helpful to use a DSP that has a continuous pattern and this works really well. Remove 1″ from the top of the 6×6 piece. With the long side at top, cut four pieces 1 1/2 x 5, keeping them in order. Adhere pieces 1 & 4 to the first & fourth panels of the card stock. With the bottom end of the two remaining pieces, trim to 1″ and attach to panels 2 & 3, following the continuing pattern. Turn around and with top of those two strips, cut 1″ from top. Attach those to the tops of panels 2 & 3. That leaves centers of panels 2 & 3 blank. Making certain to follow the continuous pattern of the DSP, trim the remaining piece that coordinates with panel 3. It should measure 1 1/2 x 2 1/2. Now cut a 2 3/4 square with a coordinating card stock. I chose Soft Suede. Cut another piece of Soft Suede 7 1/2 x 5, score on long side @ 3 3/4. Burnish and add to back 4″ panel of the Petal Pink card base. This is what makes the card within a card.

Stampin' Up! Trifold Shutter card in steps

Cut a piece of Basic White 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 (cut 2) for the additional card panels. Cut a piece of Basic White 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 for the very front of the card. Adhere this square to the 2 3/4″ square.

Stamp the two panels that are 3 1/2 x 4 3/4: one is for the inside of the back card, while the other is for it’s front. Use Soft Suede ink to stamp the sentiment from Something Fancy stamp set and add to the ‘back’ card front. On the other panel, same size, stamp the flower from Two-Tone Flora stamp set, in stamped off Calypso Coral ink. Stamp the detail of that flower with full strength Calypso Coral ink. Adhere both to the appropriate panels.

Stampin' Up! Trifold Shutter card.. full length
Stampin' Up! Trifold Shutter Card with inside card

Notice another panel of DSP on the opposite side of the stamped panel – yep.. that’s a piece of the Fancy Flora DSP, but the reverse side :O) All that’s left to do now is decorate the 2 1/2″ square on the card front. On a scrap of Basic White, stamp the flower from Two-Tone Flora stamp set in stamped-off Calypso Coral ink. Stamp the more details flower patten with full strength Calypso Coral ink. Die cut the flower with Two-Tone Flora Dies. Stamp two sets of leaves in Evening Evergreen ink as it coordinates with the DSP :O). Die cut with Two-Tone Flora Dies. Attach the two leaf sets to the back of the flower with dimensionals. See photo.

Stampin' Up! Two-Tone Flora flower

Add more dimensionals to the back of the flower. Attach a length of the Open Weave Ribbon in Soft Succulent to the Basic White square. Attach flower over the ribbon to the Basic White square of the card front. With the card closed, add three large Iridescent Pastel Gems in Calypso Coral, then two small Iridescent Pastel Gems in Calypso Coral.

Stampin' Up! Trifold Shutter Card with Fancy Flora

For the envelope… more Fancy Flora DSP to the envelope flap. For the envelope front, stamp the same flower from Two-Tone Flora stamp set with stamped-off Calypso Coral ink, and the detail stamp with full strength Calypso Coral ink. DONE!!!

This DSP is retiring and it’s stunning. The ribbon is also retiring, as is Soft Suede card stock & ink, and Evening Evergreen ink. The Iridesent Pastel Gems are also retiring.

Since these items have been available for a bit, it’s best to check so you know exactly what is available. you may do that here. order from me here

Stampin’ Up! By the Bay Fun Fold + Designer Series Paper Share Info

Posted on by

Good Wednesday morning! We have beautiful weather temps today, but there is a brush fire somewhere making everything very smoky :O( Ugh. My card today is using a retiring DSP, By the Bay and a carrying over product Something Fancy stamp set & it’s coordinating Something Fancy Dies. And… I’m frustrated… my box of new goodies from Stampin’ Up! is ‘stuck’ somewhere and has yet to be delivered. But this By the Bay is just stunning Designer Series Paper. So let’s take a look at the card ~ and I’ll get past this disappointment.

Stampin' Up! By the Bay Fun Fold

This begins with a Balmy Blue card base 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5 1/2. With the long side up, remove 2 3/4 of the length. Set that piece aside as it becomes that front extended panel :O) Begin layering… Basic White 2 1/2 x 4 on the front left panel and on the set aside piece (cut 2). Layer on that the By the Bay DSP cut 2 1/4 x 3 3/4 (cut 2). What I did here was use the shell pattern for the front and the reverse side of the DSP for the side panel. I wrapped a length of the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack in Crumb Cake around the front panel and tied a bow. I then die cut a Balmy Blue using the Something Fancy Dies, put dimensionals on it and secured it over the twine. I secured the bow in place with a glue dot. I stamped the sentiment from Something Fancy stamp set on a Basic White piece with Balmy Blue ink and die cut it with the next smaller die from Something Fancy Dies. This was adhered with dimensionals to the Balmy Blue banner. I then took this completed front panel and attached it only on the left side to the left front of the card.

Stampin' Up! By the Bay Fun Fold, inside

For the inside… I stamped the sentiment from Something Fancy stamp set in Balmy Blue ink on the Basic White panel (4 x 5 14), making certain it would not peek out from behind the front flap of the card.. I adhered this in place with my adhesive of choice, green glue. You can certainly use Stamp[in’ Seal if that is your preference. Once in place, I closed the front of the card and added these Balmy Blue Solid Faceted Gems (retiring!)

Stampin' Up! By the Bay Fun Fold card & envelope

On the Envelope… more of the By the Bay DSP on the flap trimmed to fit and the card/ envelope are ready to send. This goes out to my hubby’s sister who is recovering from a stroke. I’m trying to send a card a week so she knows we are thinking of her & giving encouragement. She is such a dear sweet soul!

With the introduction of the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog going LIVE May 2, several items are retiring… from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog AND the Jan-April 2023 Mini Catalog.

Stampin’ Up! Hand-Penned Petals with Country Gingham 6×6 DSP

Posted on by

Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group! Our challenge this time is to create something “For The Ladies/Girls” and we could create this any way we wanted. I have created a very ‘girlie’ card, feminine in other words.

Stampin' Up! Amy's Inkin' Krew Blog Hop Group
Stampin' Up! Hand-Penned Petals

I’ve used Country Gingham 6×6 DSP adhered to a Mint Macaron card base to get me started. Then a Basic White panel with the long side run through the cut & emboss machine using this adorable scallop die from Penned Flowers Dies. I stamped the floral image in Memento ink using the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set, then colored it with So Saffron Blends and Soft Succulent Blends. This was die cut with the coordinating die in the Penned Flowers Dies and added to the scalloped panel with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from Hand-Penned Petals, also in Memento ink, then added the scalloped panel with dimensionals to the card front. The bow is tied with White Crinkled Seam Binding and attached with a glue dot. And finally… Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels for the sparkly touch.

Stampin' Up! Hand-Penned Petals + Penned Flowers Dies

For the inside, another panel of Basic White die cut with the scalloped die from Penned Flowers Dies :O), followed by stamping the flower stem in Evening Evergreen ink and the Flowers in So Saffron ink. This was adhered to another panel of the Country Gingham 6×6 DSP, then into the inside of the card ~ and done.

Stampin' Up! Hand-Penned Petals card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the Country Gingham 6×6 DSP adhered to the envelope flap, then run through the die cutting machine with what else – the scallop die from Penned Flowers Dies! L-O-V-E this extra feminine touch! For the front of the envelope, I did the same stamping as the inside of the card: Evening Evergreen ink for the stem and So Saffron ink for the flowers.

Each of the products used in the card (except Memento ink & Basic White card stock) is retiring as of May 1 and is on the LAST CHANCE PRODUCT list. The Country Gingham 6×6 DSP is on the Jan-April 2023 Mini Catalog list. More info about that below!

Stampin’ Up! Radiating Stitches Dies with Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP and More

Posted on by

I made this card a bit ago and forgot to post it… do you know how this happens? At any rate… a friend asked for a card (or two) to be used as a sympathy card. I also needed a card of congratulations for a man and since I was on a roll – why not do both with the same dies just different Designer Series Paper? I’m pleased with how they both turned out – hope you like as well.

Stampin' Up! Radiating Stitches Dies with Fancy Flora DSP

I used a piece of the Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP and layered the dies next to one another ran it through the die cutting machine. This created three die pieces to use. With the largest panel, I added dimensionals to the back and attached it to a Soft Succulent card base. The center piece is also on dimensionals and centered in the opening. I used Evening Evergreen ink to stamp on a Basic White strip then die cut with a banner die from the Sending Smiles Stamp set. This was attached with liquid glue directly to the center panel with dimensionals on the ends. For an additional touch three Loose Frosted Dots were attached with tiny dabs of liquid glue.

Stampin' Up! Radiating Stitches Dies, inside card

For the inside I added the remaining die cut piece to a panel of Basic White, also run through the Radiating Stitches Dies. It created a wonderful outline! Can you see the heart? That is also from the Radiating stitches Dies set – and die cut from a scrap of Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP.

For the envelope I added more Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP to the flap & trimmed to fit. I stamped the front of the envelope with stamps from the Sending Smiles Stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink.

Here’s the congratulations card…

Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Sympathy

Posted on by
10

Good Friday Morning! I have a couple of quick cards for you today, both very similar and made with By the Bay Specialty DSP (retiring product!) and Inspired Thoughts stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Inspired Thoughts Sympathy #1
Stampin' Up! Inspired Thoughts Sympathy #2

The card on the left has an additional layer of embossed Basic White (with Cross Hatch embossing folder) behind the DSP layers. The left card uses Shimmer Ribbon and Festive Pearls in Silver, while the right card uses Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon and Classic Matte Dots. The left card is stamped in Gray Granite ink while the right card is embossed with White Embossing powder and heat set. Both use the Label Me Fancy Punch for the sentiment banner. The card on the left was made for a gentleman who lost his mother and the card on the right was made for a woman – same formats, just a bit different.

Stampin' Up! Inspired Thoughts Sympathy #1 inside

The card on the left uses Night of Navy ink for the sentiment (from Inspiring Thoughts stamp set) while the card on the right is Gray Granite ink. Both are stamped on Basic White with a layer of Night of Navy ~ and both have a card base of Gray Granite card stock.

Stampin' Up! Inspired Thoughts Sympathy card & envelope #2

The lighting is so different on these two cards! Go figure… I’m curious, do you have a preference? Do you like one card better than the other? I think my preference is the card on the left with the embossed layer of white.

Card cuts are listed at the bottoms of this post.
