Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper Gatefold Card

Posted on by
4

Good morning.! I’ve been on a ‘kick’ lately about using more of my retiring Designer Series Paper – and I’m happy to say I’m making progress. Of course, in doing that I haven’t been showcasing new items as much as perhaps I should. Having said that, know you can use current DSP & die cuts to your hearts delight -:O)

Stampin' Up! DSP Gatefold Card

This card uses Masterfully Made DSP, which is very colorful and abstract -gives the idea of torn edges. This particular paper has Berry Burst, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry – at least on this card. Here are the deets…

The card base is 4 x 5 1/2 and I used Berry Burst as there is so much of this wonderful color in this particular portion of the DSP. I cut the Designer Series Paper 5 1/4 x 12 and scored it @ 2, 4, 8 & 10. On each short end mark the center (2 5/8) and trim from the score line to the mark, saving that piece to adhere to the front. Fold along score lines mountain, valley, valley, mountain. Adhere this to the card base.

Now it’s time to decorate… I used the Stitched Shapes Dies to cut a circle from Basic White, then pulled out the Gorgeously Made stamp set (retiring April 30) and stamped images on the circle: the wording in stamped off once Crushed Curry and the lines in Pumpkin Pie, full strength.While this stamp set was on my table, I stamped the same lines image on a piece of Basic White 43 3/4 x 5 across the bottom in Pumpkin Pie ink. I die cut this stunning open leaf from Basic White using the Artistic Dies (also retiring April 30. And now, ready to put together… I closed the card with folds intact and noted where to place the circle so it would be centered on the card front. NOTE>>> when attaching with dimensionals, it’s only on the one side. Remove backing on the dimensionals and add. With the card in the closed position again, add the large leaf die cut with dabs of liquid glue along the stem and tips of leaves – just where it will attach to the circle.Add three Berry Burst dots from the Glossy Dots Assortment – carrying over to the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog! Now add the Basic White stamped panel to the inside of the card – and ready!

Stampin' Up! DSP Gatefold card, inside

Envelope.. Cut another piece of DSP 2 1/4 x 6 and adhere to the envelope flap, trim to fit. Across the front of the envelope, stamp the lines image along the bottom. With no sentiments on this card, it can be sent for just about any reason at all… to a man or a woman. Perfect for your stash! and you can add a sentiment to the inside if you need to, when the time comes.

A couple of things to remember: this DSP, the Gorgeously Made Bundle and the Artistic Dies are all retiring end of day April 30 – so if you want to get them, do so ASAP in the Last Chance Products.

Stampin’ Up! April Paper Pumpkin

Posted on by

Good morning – Paper Pumpkin is a monthly creative & inspirational fun box that comes in the mail. This month it is titled Delicate Wings and has all the makings for nine (9) cards with decorated envelopes. The cards are stunning & I made them according to directions – lots of opportunities to use these! Nine cards ready to send in just over an hour – can’t beat that!

Stampin' Up! April Paper Pumpkin

Here they are all complete. Now let’s look at each one.

Stampin' Up! April Paper Pumkin, card 1April
Card 1

This is my favorite card – and the butterfly is just stunning set on a champagne background piece before attaching to the card front. There is a coordinating die set for this month’s PP and will coordinate with the next two months of Paper Pumpkins as well – so this card gives me inspiration of ways to use one of the dies. :O) The second image above is the inside of the card – a punch-out included in this months PP used on another card – this was a leftover .

Stampin' Up! April Paper Pumpkin, card 2
Card 2
Stampin' Up! April Paper Pumpkin, card 2
Card 2, inside

This is also very pretty and each of the butterflies on this card front was a punch-out provided in the kit. I did add Festive Pearls – a retired item – to the body of each butterfly. On the inside of the card is the stamped image in Basic Gray (provided as an inkspot in the kit) and another extra butterfly punch-out.

Here, card 3, you see the butterfly punch-outs and how they were to be used. Love this! And of course, I added Festive Pearls (retired) to each of the punch-outs. The sentiment panel is stamped with a stamp from the kit – again in Basic Gray, and attached with dimensionals. And on each envelope front is a butterfly stamped image from the stamps included in the kit. The envelope flap in each case is embossed with gold butterflies!

If you so desired, color coordination for these are: Basic Beige, Basic Gray, Lost Lagoon, Moody Mauve, Champagne.

As mentioned earlier, there is a coordinating die set – called Thanks & Beyond. If you are a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, you can purchase this die set for $12. Want to learn more about being a Paper Pumpkin subscriber – click here!

Stampin’ Up! JuniorLegal Pad Notebook w/ Masterfully Made DSP & Thoughtful Expressions Bundle

Posted on by
2

Yesterday was a very successful working outside kind of day! 77 degrees and dry leaves that could easily picked up, some Easter bulbs planted and yard furniture taken out from shed. Whew! To say the least, just a bit sore today :O)

I like notebooks and have a few notepads on shelves and in convenient places – and decided to make some fun covers for them – they are nice notepads – and give as gifts. Here’s my first.

Stampin' Up! Masterfully Made DSP & Thoughtful Expressions bundle, notepad cover

This is such pretty Designer Series paper! I love the colors, wonderfully paired Lost Lagoon, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist. Yummy. And the belly band is made with Pretty Peacock. The base of the notebook is the white backing for the DSP – you know the one with name of DSP and color coordinations. It is cut 10 3/4 x 8 1/4 scored at 5 1/4 & 5 1/2. I rounded the corners but you wouldn’t have to do that. The front DSP mat is 5 1/8 x I 8 1/8.

Stampin' Up! Masterfully Made DSP, notepad cover w/o belly band

And here are inside and back photos.

Stampin' Up! Masterfully Made DSP notebook, back side.

Just to explain the inside a bit: in photo with the butterfly (butterfly is a Paper Pumpkin add-on called Thanks & Beyond Dies) – that is a pocket for extraneous notes (3 7/8 x 5) with a full liner of Pretty Peacock 5 1/8 x 8 1/8. The second photo above shows another ‘liner’ of Pretty Peacock 5 1/8 x 8 1/8 and the ‘holder’ for the notepad 1 1/4 x 12 – also from the backing of the DSP. I wrapped it around the heavy piece of the back of the notepad, adhered the ends together, removed it from the notepad and adhered it to the notebook with the smooth side up. This allows for replacement of a Junior Legal notepad at any time. The last photo is another panel of Masterfully Made DSP 5 1/8 x 8 1/8 adhered to the notepad base.

The belly band… 1 1/4 x 12 Pretty Peacock covered with a strip of Masterfully Made DSP 1 1/8 x 12. Wrap loosely around closed notepad and adhere ends together in front with Tear n’ Tape. Decorate: Using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies, I die cut two pieces for the label – Lost Lagoon and Lemon Lime Twist and adhered together with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink and added several dimensionals to the back. With the belly band in place on the notebook I attached the die cuts to the belly band.With the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set I stamped the floral image on a Basic White piece in Memento ink and colored it with Stampin’ Blends: Berry Burst, Lost Lagoon and Lemon Lime Twist. I die cut the image with the appropriate die from the Thoughtful expressions dies and adhered in place with dimensionals. As a final touch, I added three Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins in Berry Burst – an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE.

The Masterfully Made DSP retires at the end of April as the 23-24 annual catalog sadly ends. It is still available, but not for long! Click the Last Chance photo to take you directly to the shop!

Stampin’ Up!

It is Jan 2 and in just two days – Jan 4 – the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog goes live. I thought it might be fun today take a peek at some of the cards I’ve made with a few of the new stamps/ bundles.

We’ll start with the Bee Mine Suite found on pages 8-10. This suite includes the stamp set & coordinating punch, some very fun Designer Series Paper, ribbon, pillow boxes and embellishments.

Stampin' Up! Offset Gatefold Bee My Valentine

If you click on the photo I’ve created a link to the post where you can see how the card was made. The far left is an offset gatefold card.

On page 12 is the Heartfelt Hexagon bundle that also includes a punch.

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hexagon Bundle
Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hexagons w/ Merry Bold & Bright

It’s interesting how different cards can be by changing small elements in them: colors, Designer Series Papers, angles, embellishments.

The next suite I’m sharing cards from is Perennial Lavender Suite with two stamp sets and two sets of dies, Butterfly Accents, DSP, and gems – all found on pages 22-25.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Bundle

The lovely flower die cuts are just beautiful. In these two cards you can see a couple of sizes of new Perennial Postage Dies – FUN! The DSP is from this suite as are the embellishments and check out the white butterfly… there are several sizes and various shapes too.

Quiet Reflection stamp set can be found on page 63 and is a beautiful stamp with wonderful, heartfelt sayings. Remeber that if you desire to see the original post, just click on the link in the photo.

The last card I’ll share today is made with the Stippled Roses bundle which includes coordinating dies. This can be found on page 64. This bundle has coordinating paper as part of the Jan-Feb 2024 Sale-a-Bration Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Bundle
Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Dies
Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses in Calypso Coral

Each of these cards shows the Softly Stippled DSP that is free with a qualifying order. It may be found on page 8 of the Sale-a- Bration Catalog. Back to the stamp set though – look at the stunning roses in the 1st & 3rd cards – the detail is wonderful. And the dies – again, the detail is remarkable.

If you do not have a demonstrator and do not have catalogs, I can remedy that – just let me know. :O)

Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses Birthday

Posted on by
4

Happy Happy 2024!!! Here we are in a new year. Did you make or are you in the process of making resolutions? I was talking with someone the other day and the topic was really about facing a topic and asking ourselves, ‘why are we afraid of it’ (whatever that is?)” And how, if we break it down, take it apart, it’s easier to face or do. First we name it, then ask the question, then break it down. The unknown can be so hard to face. Gosh, I got all philosophical… go figure… enuf of that. Let’s play with paper & create.

Stampin' Up! stippled Roses Birthday

I began by stamping this beautiful rose bouquet in Basic Gray ink from Stippled Roses stamp set and coloring it with Stampin’ Blends: Light Calypso Coral, Light Sweet Sorbet and Old Olive for the leaves. I die cut it with the coordinating Stippled Roses Dies. Next decision was what background…. and I really like this Pebbled Path pattern in the Softly Stippled DSP. Now what else to do??? I got out my Vellum Basic SDSP and die cut several (well, three) leaves using the Stippled Roses Dies. The pattern doesn’t show so much, but the vellum leaves are attached to the back of the rose bouquet with Stampin’ Seal.. I added dimensionals and attached it to the Softly Stippled DSP panel. I wanted a bit of accent and Old Olive fit that need and all was adhered to the Pebbled Path card base. The sentiment is also from Stippled Roses and stamped on a Basic White strip with Pebbled Path ink. I trimmed ther ends, added mini dimensionals to the end and a bit of glue to the center area and attached it over the rose bouquet. I added three 2023-2025 In Color Dots in Pebbled Path.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses birthday, inside

For the inside, I stamped the single rose with leaves in Pebbled Path ink – also from the Stippled Roses stamp set – on the Basic White panel; adhered this to Old Olive card stock slightly larger and into the card base.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses birthday card & envelope

For the envelope – this same single rose with leaves was stamped on the envelope front and another piece of the Softly Stippled DSP was adhered to the flap and trimmed to fit. Done. I really likje the background on this card and how it softens the colors of the bouquet – and the vellum leaves too. Hope you like it as well.

The Softly Stippled DSP can be found on page 8 of the Jan-Feb 2024 Sale-a-bration Catalog – which means it is a FREE item with a $50 purchase. The Stippled Roses Bundle can be found in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog on page 64. All other items used to make this card are in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. If you do not have a demonstrator and needs supplies, catalogs, inspiration – reach out to me. I would like to serve your needs.

Stampin’ Up! Flight & Airy Birthday Card

Posted on by
6

Good Friday morning! Gosh, the 29th of December…. where has the year gone? I’m sharing a new DSP that will be available come Jan 4, 2024 called Flight & Airy 12 x 12 DSP and it is FREE with a $50 order (before taxes & shipping). It is so sweet with birds and delicate branches and soft bright colors. Here’s the card…

Stampin' Up! Flight & Airy Birthday

Such a sweet bird! I began by die cutting the Flight & Airy DSP with the third from smallest Countryside Corners Dies, punched a couple of leaves from Vellum using the Bough Punch.I adhered these to the back of the DSP with Stampin’ Seal. I also looked at the backs of the Flight & Airy DSP for my background paper & chose this pretty Pecan Pie piece, adhered it to a Pecan Pie card base. I put dimensionals on the die cut DSP piece and attached it to the card front. I stamped the sentiment using another new stamp set from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog called Stippled Roses stamp set (it has coordinating dies!) and Pecan Pie ink. I adhered the stamped piece to another strip of Pecan Pie, put dimensionals on it and attached it under the focal point. The last touch was adding Blooming Pearls (3) in Garden Green – and the card front was complete.

Stampin' Up! Flight & Airy Birthday Card, inside

For the inside, I fussy cut one of the birds on a branch with leaves and attached it with liquid glue to the Basic White & Flight & Airy panel – and adhered all to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Flight & Airy Birthdsay card & envelope

I found a scrap with a wee bird peeking up and fussy cut that too and adhered it to the envelope front. More of the Flight & Airy DSP to the flap and done! Such a sweet card!

So I’ve mentioned the Jan-Feb 2024 Sale-a-bration Catalog – and the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog – both going live Jan 4 2024. If you don’t have these, please reach out to me and we can ‘fix’ that :O) While you’re at it, consider checking out the Stampin’ Up!

Before I get too far into my post and the card of the day, let me say thank you to those who follow my blog, post comments, purchase from me, are on my team – all that. Stampin’ Up! has afforded me the opportunity to share my creativity in a whole new way and I so appreciate all of you for sharing in my journey. So, thank you.

Family arrives later today for several days and I will be taking a bit of a break while they are here. I want my focus to be on them and not running to my computer to check for messages concerning this paper crafting business. Yes, each of you is important but family is a priority while they are here – thank you for understanding.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadows Bundle

I had this Meandering Meadows DSP on my desk still and couldn’t help but continue playing with it. This time I added this wonderful ‘frame’ that is part of the Garden Meadows Dies. It is die cut from Very Vanilla card stock and added to the DSP with dimensionals. The DSP is adhered to Melon Mambo card stock just slightly larger and that is attached to a Blueberry Bushel card base with dimensionals. I added three Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies buzzing around the flowers for a bit of ‘meadow feeling’.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadows inside

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment in Basic Gray ink on a Very Vanilla panel, then the flowers at the bottom in Garden Green ink. This is a precious stamp! The Very Vanilla panel is added to another Melon Mambo piece just slightly larger then into the inside of the card base – and done!

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadows card & envelope

On the envelope I adhered the remaining piece of the Meandering Meadows 6×6 piece, just turned it to the other side. Then stamped that same sweet flower bunch in Garden Green ink on the front.

This set can be found in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES of the Stampin’ Up! store – which you may find right here: Garden Meadows stamp set & dies, Meandering Meadows DSP AND the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds elements. The card stock, envelopes and inks are all part of the Annual catalog which may be found here.

Stampin’ Up! Meandering Meadows DSP Simple Card

Posted on by
3

Good morning! Today’s card is super simple – intentionally. I’m interested in making several of these to use as a quick notice of thinking of you, or concern, or birthday, or just a note, whether it be of appreciation or thanks or hello friend. I love the color contrasts in this DSP and for the simple layers. Behold… Meandering Meadows 6×6 DSP.

Stampin' Up! Meandering Meadows DSP, hello

Blueberry Bushel is one of the coordinating colors for this DSP and I used it for my card base (4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2). I trimmed the Meandering Meadows DSP to 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 and adhered it to Petal Pink just slightly larger. These two panels were added to the card base with dimensionals. As a final touch, three birds were added from the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds. They show beautifully because they are brass!

Stampin' Up! Meandering Meadows DSP hello, inside

For the inside… I stamped the sentiment in Basic Gray ink onto a Basic White panel, and it comes from the Garden Meadow stamp set, then added a strip of the Meandering Meadows 6×6 DSP to the bottom (a continuation of the pattern from the card front). This was added to another panel of Petal Pink just slightly larger, then into the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Meandering Meadows DSP card & envelope

The envelope flap got more of the same panel of Meandering Meadow DSP, just the other side of that 6×6 piece to create the card front! On the front of the envelope, I stamped the floral image in Basic Gray ink as it simulates the flowers in the scene on the card front. :O) Stampin’ Up! is really clever in the way they pair the DSP with stamp bundles – and actually, these are all a part of a suite of products in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. You may find that link here.

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Reflection Stamp set

Posted on by
4

Good morning! ‘Tis Tuesday Dec 19… we decorated our Christmas tree last night. It has become tradition to have a couple of family members come for dinner & tree ornament placement on the tree. Hubby got up Sunday morning at 4 AM and put all the lights on – 6-7 strands worth. It is thick with lights :O) Anyway – that isn’t why you’re here. Let’s check out this new stamp set from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog…

Stampin' Up! Quiet Reflection stamp set

I used Mossy Meadow as the card base, Basic White and Neutrals 6×6 DSP then stamped a Basic White panel for the top layer. The stamping used Gray Granite ink, which looks a bit soft brown & gray. It’s perfect for this ‘scene’ – it’s a woodsy shadow look that is quite peaceful. And it’s meant to be. The sentiment is also from the Quiet Reflection stamp set and it was stamped with Gray Granite ink, as I mentioned earlier. I adhered the Basic White strip to Gray Granite card stock, put dimensionals on that and attached it to the stamped panel. As a final step, I added three Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots around the tree shadow.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Reflection, inside

For the inside of the card, the sentiment from Quiet Reflection is stamped in Gray Granite ink on the Basic White panel. I added a strip of the Neutrals 6×6 DSP in Mossy Meadow to the bottom – and that was it. Love this font!!!

Stampin' Up! Quiet Reflection card & envelope

For the envelope – more of the Neutrals 6×6 DSP in Mossy Meadow adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. And that was it – kept very simple.

This stamp set may be found on page 63 in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. If you do not have a demonstrator and are interested in receiving a catalog, please connect with me.
