Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Birthday Card

Posted on by

Hello again! It’s Wednesday, midweek and I’m wondering how your week is proceeding. We are hoping to secure our sailboat this week for winter storage. Winds can be an issue for sailing into the channel where we store the boat, but Thursday looks to be on our side. Here’s hoping. I played this afternoon with a Designer Series Paper found in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES side of the store – Delightfully Floral 12×12 DSP. It has spring-like colors and yes, beautiful florals/ leaves. And it coordinates with Translucent Florals Bundle (stamps & dies). It’s a beautiful set, very feminine, and I enjoyed playing with it.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals & Delightfully Floral DSP

The Delightfully Floral 12×12 DSP takes venter stage here, really showing off. The flowers are in Berry Burst, Fresh Freesia and Calypso Coral. I used inks from the first two colors + Parakeet Party as an accent. The card base is Fresh Freesia in a top fold A2 size. The next three layers are together & on dimensionals attached to the card base: Delightfully Floral DSP on the non-floral side, Basic White and the front layer of Delightfully Floral DSP with these gorgeous medium flowers. I stamped the hexagon dots with the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set & Berry Burst ink on a Basic White scrap, then stamped the sentiment using the Translucent Florals stamp set and more Berry Burst ink, then punched it out with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. I set this aside and stamped two florals designs from the Translucent Florals stamp set, both in Fresh Freesia ink and die cut them with dies from the Translucent Floral Dies. I adhered the larger floral to the hexagon with dimensionals, then the smaller one close to it with a single dimensional. I added Stampin’ Seal to the back of the hexagon and wrapped a Parakeet Party ribbon from the Ribbon Due Combo Pack in a ‘Z’, I added dimensionals to the hexagon, covering the ribbon and attached this to the card front. For afinal touch I attached Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Berry Burst on the hexagon. And… the front is done!

For the inside, I added a piece of Parakeet Party card stock to the card base. I proceeded to stamp in Berry Burst ink, this larger floral from the Translucent Florals stamp set, then stamped the center in Pretty Peacock ink with the appropriate stamp from this same set on a Basic White panel. I stamped the inside sentiment in Fresh Freesia ink for a nice contrast. I added the same Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Berry Burst around the flower. This was added right over the Parakeet Party panel and the card was complete!

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals & Delightfully Floral DSP card & envelope

For the envelope, I covered the flap in another panel of the Delightfully Floral 12×12 DSP and trimmed it to fit. For the envelope front, I stamped this delicaste image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink – done, done. let’s see, have I left out anything? When I first saw this DSP, my thought was – too bold, too bright, too, too. Now that I have it and am mplaying with it, I love it! One of the things I like about it is the contrasting, non-normal colors. I find it gives me creativity. You may see more of this layout in the days ahead!

Stampin’ Up! October Paper Pumpkin

Posted on by

My Paper Pumpkin kit arrived last week and it’s a beauty. The kit has a liquid glitter included to add sparkle. The cards are very 3D, meaning layers of homes or trees. And the kit is called Home for the Holidays.

Stampin' Up! Oct. '23 Paper Pumpkin
Stampin' Up! Oct. '23 Paper Pumpkin, 2

These are very traditional type cards, Victorian style homes and lots of trees. I wonder what your home is like? Ours is nothing like this… colonial style, two story, trees are maple & dogwood, not spruce. I tried taking a close-up of the glittery parts but they were too blurry to show well, so this is it. There are enough parts to make 8 cards – and envelopes are included of course. While you may not be able to tell, there is a glittery paper under each of the sentiments :O) There are other sentiment included that could have been used on the banner, but I’m a Merry Christmas gal – so that was it for me! The November PP kit coordinates with the October Home for the Holidays Paper Pumpkin Kit! See the info below.

This is the next Paper pumpkin kit…

Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees Fun Fold

Posted on by

Good morning! I played with a very fun set for this card, one I haven’t used in a while ~ Merriest Trees Bundle. I also used a coordinating DSP called A Walk In The Forest 12×12 DSP. The reason it coordinates is because the tree dies can be used to die cut trees from the DSP :O) – love this!

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees Fun Fold

See that gorgeous tree on the flap? That is cut from the DSP, A Walk In The Forest. The string of lights and the star at the tree top are die cut using the Merriest Trees Dies and Holographic Trio Specialty DSP with Adhesive Sheets applied to the back for easy adhering to the die cut tree (just peel & stick!) The ornaments are stamped in Berry Burst ink on Basic White with the Merriest Trees stamp set, then die cut with the appropriate die from the Merriest Trees Dies. They are attached to the tree with mini dimensionals – they just fit!!! I die cut an extra tree in Basic White to adhere to the back of the DSP die cut tree – for uniformity & strength. The tree is adhered directly to the flap. The packages on the lower front of the card are stamped in Berry Burst ink and pretty Peacock ink using stamps stamps & dies from the Merriest Trees bundle. The packages are adhered directly to the panel and the bow is on a mini dimensional. Let’s see, the Basic White background has been run through the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder after stamping in Pretty Peacock ink with a sentiment from Merriest Trees stamp set. Here’s a better photo of the inside of the card.

As a final touch, I added Festive Pearls in silver to the star at top of the tree & on two of the snowflakes.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Tree Fun Fold card & envelope

For the envelope – you can see the Basic White embossed panel is already adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the envelope front I stamped the sentiment from Merriest Trees in Berry Burst ink. Another Christmas card ready to go! I think it’s time I count card prepped, what do you think?

Isn’t this a FUN CARD? I really like how it turned out. The color combination is a bit different – Berry Burst with Lost Lagoon & Pretty Peacock, but I think it looks good.

Stampin’ Up! Swing & Sway w/ Handcrafted Elements Dies

Posted on by

Good Saturday morning! Goodness, did we have RAIN yesterday! And while it was raining, I was crafting, at least some of the time. :O) The ‘big deal’ these days is a Swing & Sway card & I had JUST gotten the Handcrafted Elements Dies – and there is this gorgeous ornament die I HAD to use. So – here ya go…

Stampin' Up! Handcrafted Ornaments Dies.1

Is this ornament pretty or what! It was die cut using the Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green 12×12 Foil Sheets – l-o-v-e. The card base is Very Vanilla, which softens the boldness of the ornament. The sentiment panel is stamped in Melon Mambo ink using the Stars At Night stamp set and die cut with a die from Stars At Night Dies :O) The embossed panels are done with the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder. There’s a single Glossy Dots Assortment in Melon Mambo at the top of the ornament. Here’s how we put this together:

  • “Very Vanilla card stock 5 1/2 x 10 1/4 scored at 4 1/4, 7 1/4, 9
Stampin' Up! Swing & Sway card score lines
  • Cut three panels of Very Vanilla 1 x 5 1/4 and run through the Distressed Tile EF. Add these to card base: one on the inside panel near edge, centering it top to bottom; another on the fold (as shown, near score line & centering top/ bottom; and lastly to front panel, centering it. Refer to top photo
  • Die Cut ornament from Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green 12×12 Foil Sheets and adhere together
  • Cut a Very Vanilla strip 1/2 x 2; die cut hole close to top with Tailor Made Tags Dies
  • Stamp sentiment with Melon Mambo ink using the Stars At night stamp set; die cut with appropriate die from Stars at Night Dies.
  • Add mini dimensional to front panel, allowing room for sentiment panel & ornament + swaying mechanism
  • Adhere ornament to swaying mechanism

Above you see all the parts.

Stampin' Up! Swing & sway

Above the ornament & swaying mechanism are in place. It does not get adhered to anything – or it would not sway, right?! Remove cover on mini dimensional and adhere sentiment panel to this with additional dimensionals on the sentiment banner to hold it securely. Refer to top photo again.

With the card pretty much completed, decorate the inside. I die cut two stars using the Handcrafted Elements Dies and the same Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green 12×12 Foil Sheets. I stamped another sentiment using the Stars At Night stamp set and melon Mambo ink.

Stampin' Up! Handcrafted Ornaments Dies card, inside

For the envelope, I wanted simplicity – the card is elegant. I embossed another panel of the Very Vanilla card stock (2 1/4 x 6) with the same Distressed Tile Embossing Folder and adhered it to the flap & trimmed it to fit. Done! This is a gorgeous card and so simple to do. If you didn’t want to do a fun fold, simply do a regular card, emboss a slightly smaller panel for the front and follow the same procedure for the swaying mechanism and ornament. OR… say something else… a bear maybe? I think I must try that… :O)

Stampin’ Up! Pop-Out Gate Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Welcome to another fun BLOG HOP by our creative group. I can’t wait to see what others have made for the hop today. We have a color challenge.

Stampin' Up! Color Challenge for Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Pop-Out Gate Fold w/ Bright & Beautiful 6x6

Can you see all those colors in the color challenge in this DSP? Blueberry Bushel is the card base; Lost Lagoon is the ink on the sentiment, and Pretty Peacock is in the DSP, Moody Mauve is in the DSP too. So, I’m covered – whew! Isn’t this a fun card? I had such fun creating it!

  • Card base is 8 x 5 1/2, score at 2, 6 on long side
  • On the short side, cut @ 1 1/4″ on both short sides between score lines
  • On the long side, score @ 3″ & 5″ between cut lines
  • On the long side, score @ 4″ from top & bottom to cut line

Stampin' Up! Pop-Out Gate Fold from the top

In far left photo is how your card base should look after all cutting and score lines have been made. The photo next to it shows the image from the top.

Now it’s time to decorate with DSP & die cuts and all that good stuff.

DSP & center layers:

  • DSP for side front panels: 1 7/8 x 5 3/8, cut 2
  • DSP for small sections: 1 7/8 x 1 1/8, cut 4
  • Center card stock: 2 3/8 x 3
  • Center DSP: 2 1/4 x 2 7/8

Adhere center layers together & add to small center section of card.

In photos at left, it is clear where the various panels should be added, whether by liquid glue or Stampin’ Seal. I prefer the liquid glue as it allows for flexibility. It is up to you, however.

Now it’s time to decorate! I used Bright & Beautiful 6×6 DSP for the balloons and the added panels of DSP adhered to the card base & center section. I used Beautiful Balloons stamp set and Beautiful Balloons Dies for all the die cuts – including the center sentiment banner, stars and tassel. The stars & tassel were die cut from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVE Silver & Gold Adhesive-Backed Glitter Paper (LOVE THIS!) Because the glitter paper is adhesive backed, I die cut another tassel in white to adhere to it. On the smaller balloon, I added Gold Celebrations SDSP to the Bright & Beautiful DSP prior to die cutting. I colored a couple of strings of White Baker’s Twine with Light Blueberry Bushel Stampin Blends & tied them around the balloon bottoms and attached the ends with a rolled glue dot. I also added Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Gold to further the gold effect. On the back, I added a 1 1/2 x 4 Basic White strip to a side panel to write my message. And the card was done!

Stampin' Up! Pop-Out Fun Fold card & envelope

On the envelope I added a 2 1/4 x 6 piece of Bright & Beautiful 6×6 DSP and trimmed it to fit. I stamped the front of the envelope with Lost Lagoon ink and a sentiment from Beautiful Balloons stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! Front Flap Fold with Wishes All Around Dies

Posted on by
2

Hello Tuesday! I have a bright & fun Christmas Card for you today… made with Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper, Wishes All Around dies and Christmas Classics stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Wishes All Around Dies Fun Fold

I wanted this card to look country-ish, therefore the woodgrain and the plaid Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper. While it doesn’t show much here, I did run the woodgrain DSP through the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder before adhering it. The wreath comes from Shaded Spruce card stock die cut with the a wreath from the Wishes All Around Dies. I also die cut three sprigs from Old Olive card stock with other die from this set. I attached the wreath to a Basic White circle die cut with the Deckled Circles Dies – using the 5th from smallest circle. Before adhering, I stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink using the Christmas Classics stamp set. After adhering, I added Gold Holly Leaves for a bit of sparkle. I also added a Real Red Ribbon bow from the Real Red & Garden Green Combo Pack which is attached with a glue dot. I slipped in lengths of Threaded Twine as I was tying the bow :O) Also notice the red dots – those are Pearlized Enamel Dots Effects in Real Red. They take a bit to dry & harden so it might be best to wait until the card is completed to do that step :O)

Stampin' Up! Wishes All Around fun fold inside

I really like the inside of the card… I stamped the pine needles in Shaded Spruce ink; the sentiments in Real Red ink and more Shaded Spruce ink. These come from the Christmas Classics stamp set – one of my favorites. This Basic White panel was added to the inside of the card: layers of Smoky Slate card stock and Joy of Christmas DSP on the Real Red card base.

Ok – let me tell you how to make card cuts for this front flap fun fold- so easy.

  • Card base is a standard 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2.
  • Remove 2 3/4 from the top portion of the card base: reserve for the front flap
  • Layers for the top front of the card:
    • Smoky Slate 2 1/2 x 4 1/8
    • DSP 2 3/8 x 4
  • Layers for the front flap
    • Real Red, the removed portion of the card base
    • DSP 2 5/8 x 4 1/8
  • Inside
    • Smoky Slate 4 1/8 x 5 3/8
    • DSP 4 x 5 1/4
    • Basic White 3 x 4 1/4
Stampin' Up! Wishes All Around Fun Fold card & envelope

For the envelope, I added more of this stunning Joy of Christmas DSP to the flap & trimmed it to fit. I also stamped more of the pine fronds using Shaded Spruce ink and Christmas Classics stamp set. Isn’t this a friendly card? Who wouldn’t want to get this in the Christmas mail!

Stampin’ Up! Them Bones Halloween Fun Fold

Posted on by
4

Halloween is just around the corner – well, two weeks from today is the official Trick or Treating in our area. We have a grandson that ‘needs’ a card for this auspicious occasion and I’m no0t really much of a halloween fan. I love the kids and what they do for costumes, but this candy ‘need’ seems out of control to me. But… my card…

Stampin' Up! Them Bones Halloween Fun Fold

You can see, I paired this fun Them Bones DSP with Gorgeous Grape card stock. And although there is none of that color in the DSP – it works – because it’s halloween!!! I used a variety of papers for this, but focused on spooky images :O). I also used the Glossy Dots Assortment in Gorgeous Grape to add as an embellishment.

Stampin' Up! Them Bones DSP Fun Fold, inside

Here you can see the inside of the card – more of the DSP than ever! I never inked a stamp for this card – which is just a shame… but cutting down DSP did the trick and I think our grandson will love it.

Stampin' Up! Fun Fold from the top

Here’s a photo from the top – and you can see, it’s a bit of a z-fold card.

  • Card stock base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored @ 2 1/8 & 4 1/4
  • Fold card base in half, then fold front section back – to form the z
  • Decorate each panel with Them Bones Designer Series Paper
    • Cut 2 panels of DSP 2 x 5 3/8
    • Cut 1 panel of DSP 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, inside piece
    • Adhere to appropriate areas as shown
  • Cut coordinating or like card stock 3 1/8 x 5
    • Cut DSP for this panel 3 x 4 7/8
    • Adhere DSP to card stock
  • Adhere this card panel to card front, centering it on the front ‘z’ so when card is closed it is centered on entire card.
  • For inside, cut the BOO! from Them Bones Designer Series Paper; attach to slightly larger White panel & attach to inside of card
  • Add embellishments – Glossy Dots Assortment

What’s fun about this design: the front panel can be just about any size – smaller or round or square or hexagon, depending on the decoration or type of card created. Use different Designer Series Paper & create a birthday or sympathy card – the dimensions/ directions remain basically the same. In other words, take the dimensions & make it your own. Would love to see what you create!

Stampin’ Up! Stars At Night Dies Ornaments

Posted on by
4

Good Sunday morning! My 4″ metal rings arrived yesterday afternoon and I couldn’t wait to play. Remember I posted the ornaments on 3″ rings the other day – that link is here.

Stampin' Up! Stars At night Dies Ornaments

I used the O Holy Night 12 x 12 DSP to cut a circle with the Deckled Circles Dies. Which one? Beginning with the smallest, count six circles – that’s the one :O) I cut a backing as well, but from Night of Navy card stock. I cut various star shapes using many of the dies in Stars of Night Dies from various papers: Distressed Gold, Shimmer Paper, Gold Foil, and Adhesive-Backed Gold Glimmer Paper. These are wonderful dies!!!

Instructions:

  • Cut a length of ribbon about 20″ in length – possibly Linen Thread. Fold in half and slip the ring into the fold.
  • Secure the Linen Thread at the bottom and top with a glue dot. (I used my grid paper to make certain it was centered.) Tie a double knot at top: left over right, then right over left.
  • Slip the backing circle under both threads, centering the circle. Put a dimensional over the linen thread near the top of the circle.
  • TWIST THE THREAD and secure in place with a dimensional near the bottom of the circle. Add more dimensionals as needed.
  • Add top Designer Series Paper, matching notches in the deckles. I used O Holy Night 12 x 12 DSP.
  • Add layers of die cut stars as desired. On the above ornament, the largest star is on dimensionals as is the smaller Shimmer Paper die cut and the very top star as well. I decorated the center of the star with an Iridescent Pearl.
  • As a finishing touch, I tied a length of the Night of Navy & Gold Glitter Ribbon in a knot at the top of the metal ring.
Stampin' Up! Satrs At Night Dies Ornament.2

In the Stars At Night stamp set is a stamp for the largest star and I stamped it on Basic White card stock in Night of Navy ink, three times, re-inking between each stamp. The key here is to have each paper cut 3 x 4 as the die for this star is attached on either side by another die. You can see in this photo I couldn’t wait for the 4″ metal ring and made this ornament on the 3″ ring. I like it so much better framed on the 4″ ring! True, the ornament is different, but… this larger star needs the larger ring, in my opinion. Here is a side view to better show the three stars adhered together.

Stampin' Up! Stars At Night ornament

And in the case of this ornament, I adhered the deckled circles to the ring, both back and front. This can fold flat for storage if needed.

Stampin’ Up! Off-Set Gatefold with Autumn Leaves Bundle

Posted on by

Autumn can be such a beautiful time of year – changes colors of trees & shrubs. The main word is change… and flexibility is the key to change. Enough philosophy :O) My card is masculine in nature & one of gratitude. It uses the Autumn Leaves stamp set & coordinating dies PLUS the awesome All About Autumn DSPn – now back in stock!

Stampin' Up! Off-Set Gatefold w/ Autumn Leaves Bundle

I began with Early Espresso card stock and this All About Autumn SDSP. Our daughters are avid readers, as are their husbands, so guess I was thinking of them while making this card. Notice the narrow strip on the right side, that’s the other side of one of the designer papers in this pack, a Copper Clay color & gold- gorgeous! I’ve attached the die cut Deckled Circles to the main front of the card, but it would be so easy to attach instead to the narrow panel at right. Another option would be to have an additional layer of card stock under the DSP – I simply did not do that this time. So, change.

The front leaf was stamped in Pretty Peacock ink on Very Vanilla card stock with the Autumn Leaves stamp set, then die cut with the appropriate Autumn Leaves Dies. I adhered this to the die cut circles with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from Autumn Leaves stamp set in Early Espresso ink and trimmed the edges with paper snips and added it to the leaf with a dimensional cut in half in the middle. I had a length of Copper Ribbon that I attached with a glue dot at the bottom of the leaf. The ribbon comes from the Copper & Natural Ribbon Combo Pack. As a final touch I added three Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots in Copper Clay.

Stampin' Up! Off-Set Gatefold w/ Autumn Leaves Bundle, inside

For the inside, I had a strip of the All About Autumn SDSP that I attached with liquid glue to the Very Vanilla panel. I then stamped these gorgeous leaves in Copper Clay ink on another piece of Very Vanilla card stock. Of course they are from the Autumn Leaves stamp set. I die cut them with the proper die from the Autumn Leaves Dies. I die cut the veins from a scrap of the All About Autumn SDSP on the copper side and adhered it directly to the leaves then those to the Very Vanilla panel. The Very Vanilla panel was added to the card base.

Stampin' Up Off-Set Gatefold w/ Autumn Leaves Bundle, card & envelope

I kept the envelope very simple… more of the Copper Clay/ gold pattern from the All About Autumn SDSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. And that was it!

This Designer Series Paper and the All about Autumn Bundle may be found in the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog. They are a wonderful set.

  • All order types qualify for this promotion (customer, demonstrator, workshop, and online). You read that right… demonstrators get the same deal + 20% or more off their order!
  • Free shipping applies after the qualifying amount (per market) has been met.
  • The minimum qualifying amount to receive free shipping is $75 USD | $100 CAD or more (before tax).
  • If you are using a coupon code or product credit, please remember that will lower the order’s retail amount. The order must still meet the qualifying threshold to be eligible for free shipping (at least $75 USD/ $100 CAD before tax).
  • Free shipping only applies during the three-day period the promotion is live in each market; this means that the order must be opened and closed between 9–11 October.
  • With the exception of a one-time monthly Paper Pumpkin subscription, all Stampin’ Up! products qualify for the promotion. Subscriptions billed and shipped this month will be charged for the normal amount ($24.50 USD | $34.00 CAD shipping included) + tax.
  • Prepaid 3, 6, or 12 month Paper Pumpkin subscriptions are eligible for FREE shipping under the same rules as all other Stampin’ Up! items during the promotion.
  • The free shipping promotion does not cover the additional cost for expedited shipping.
  • Please keep in mind, that with any product launch, the distribution center may fall behind our typical shipping timeframes. In such cases, we will do all we can to return to our regular service levels as quickly as possible.

And here’s another idea… RIGHT NOW Stampin’ Up! has an awesome joining promotion… so the idea might be join my team NOW and place an additional order on Oct 9 for more of those great stamps/ dies/ designer series papers/ embellishments, etc. and get the additional 20% off + the FREE SHIPPING. Not a bad idea, right?

When ordering from me please use my HOST CODE 2J2X3YRM so that I receive proper notification and YOU GET THE Benefits of a FREE SU! item valued up to $10 :O) If your order is over $150, please don’t use the host code as SU! has benefits. I’ll still be notified and you can receive that FREE ITEM! There are more benefits when ordering from me, but more about that in another post. :O)
