Stampin’ Up! Celebrate in Style

Today is the blog hop for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew and the theme is ‘celebrate’, however we wish to interpret that. Thursday is our son-in-laws birthday and we are celebrating that with todays card.

Let me share the card with you…

Quite Curvy Birthday – #1

I have used the Quite Curvy stamp set with coordinating Curvy Dies and the Classic Christmas 6 x6 DSP. These are order-able right now but the DSP will not be available after Jan 4.So how did I do this?

  • Sahara Sand card base cut 4 1/4 x 11 snd scored at 5 1/2
  • Shaded Spruce card stock 2 x 4 1/4 and die cut with one of the Curvy Dies
  • Classic Christmas 6×6 DSP 3 x 4 1/4 and die cut with the same die from Curvy Dies
  • Lay the papers on the card base to position the photopolymer stamp from Quite Curvy stamp set. I used my Stamparatus and because the stamp is flexible I could position the stamp just the way I wanted :O)
  • Stamp using Shaded Spruce ink directly to the Sahara Sand card base.
  • Adhere the two papers mentioned above with liquid glue, first the DSP since it is taller, then the Shaded Spruce panel. These will sit just below the sentiment just stamped.
  • Die cut another panel from the Classic Christmas 6×6 DSP. My panel started at 2 1/2 x 4 1/4. Cut both sides
  • Adhere this panel with liquid glue just above the stamped sentiment
  • The ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment was stamped some time ago with the Many Messages stamp set and die cut with the coordinating Messages Dies (available Jan 5, 2021!) in Tuxedo Black Memento ink. The panel was adhered with liquid glue to a scrap of Shara Sand card stock about 5/8 x 2. This was attached to the card with dimensionals.
  • Iridescent Pearls were placed just above this panel. More were added on the curve at the upper right.

For the inside… and the envelope

I adhered a scrap of the die cut Classic Christmas 6×6 DSP to the bottom of a Whisper White panel cut 4 x 5 1/4 ~ with liquid glue. The Whisper White panel was adhered to the inside of the card and finis!

For the envelope I adhered yet another panel of the Classic Christmas 6×6 DSP (2 1/4 x 6) to the flap, trimmed to fit. I then stamped the sentiment in Shaded Spruce ink using the Quite Curvy stamp set. And the card was done.

This made a wonderfully masculine card and I’m really happy with it ~ think my son-in-law will be as well. I hope you like… a product list will be at the bottom of this post. As a thank you to my customers, when the order is between $50-$150 I offer a SU! item of your choice valued at $10. Remember to use MY CURRENT HOST CODE SVFB9YJY – good until Dec 10, 2020.

Please see my Dec 5 post for the complete list. Now that I have your attention 😏, let’s look at today’s card.

Simply Succulents – #1

This card has a couple of really nice elements to it: the Oh So Ombre 6×6 DSP, that center succulent colored in alcohol Blends, the bow, and I love the color of the flowerpot, and the sentiment banner is awesome.

Supplies you will need to create this card:

  • Simply Succulents stamp set and coordinating Potted Succulents Dies ~ available Jan 5, 2021
  • Rococco Rose card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2
  • Whisper White card stock (2) 4 x 5 1/4 + another 4 x 5 1/4 for all the die cuts. Helpful TIP: you can die cut some of the pieces from the Whisper White panel used on the front of the card since it is covered by the DSP.
  • Oh So Ombre 6×6 DSP – available Jan 5, 2021
  • Basketweave & Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack – using the Mint Macaron Basketweave ribbon
  • Stampin Blends: Soft Sea Foam, Mint Macaron, Petal Pink, Cinnamon Cider, Color Lifter
  • Inks: Soft Sea Foam, Mint Macaron, Highland Heather, Rich Razzleberry, Cinnamon Cider
  • extras…Versamark & Clear Embossing Powder, Wink of Stella
  • Blending Brushes – available Jan 5, 2021 ~ these are w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l

Yes, that’s a lot of supplies.. and let me just say ~ you could get by not using the Stampin Blends OR not using the Blending Brushes. There are two different effects going on in this card: the Blends for coloring the one large succulent and the Blending Brushes and inks for the very soft coloring using many inks. I wanted to try them together, The Blends really bring out all the detail of the succulent, while the Blending Brushes create a very soft look. Both are effective and it depends on what you’re wanting. I rather like the combined use here.

  • Stamp the large succulent and the two smaller succulents with Versamark ink on Whisper White card stock that has been rubbed with the embossing buddy. The embossing buddy helps remove static so the embossing powder sticks just to the ink. 🙂
  • Cover with Clear Embossing Powder, flick off the extra and heat set with your heat gun.
  • Color these pieces prior to die cutting.
    • With the Stampin Blends, color the largest succulent, first using the Soft Sea Foam, then Mint Macaron, then move the dark with more Soft Sea Foam. Add the Petal Pink blends to the tips of the succulent and a final touch of Blushing Bride Marker
    • With the Blending Brushes and inks, begin coloring with the lightest shade of green (Soft Sea Foam) using a circular motion and starting off the page. Begin adding color where you want more darkness: Mint Macaron, then the Highland Heather and finally Rich Razzleberry, but only a little of that.
  • Die cut your pieces using the Potted Succulent Dies
  • Stamp the flower pot in Cinnamon Cider ink on Whisper White card stock, color in using the Cinnamon Cider Blends. Use the Color Lifter to create highlights. Cover the pot with Wink of Stella. Die cut the flower pot with the Potted Succulent Dies.
  • Layer your pieces:
    • Adhere 4 x 5 1/4 Whisper White to the Rococco Rose card base with liquid glue
    • Adhere the 3 7/8 x 5 Oh So Ombre panel next, using liquid glue
    • Adhere the flower pot with liquid glue
    • Adhere the large succulent with dimensionals, then add the other two succulents, also with dimensionals
    • Add the bow with a glue dot: Basketweave & Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack, Mint Macaron
  • Stamp the sentiment from the Simply Succulent stamp set in Rococco Rose ink on Whisper White card stock and die cut with one of the awesome banner dies from the Potted Succulent Dies. Adhere to the card front with dimensionals. Your card front is done!

For the inside, on a panel of Whisper White 4 x 5 1/4, stamp one of the succulent stamps from the Simply Succulents stamp set in Soft Sea Foam ink. Stamp in the corners a few times. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card with liquid glue.

For the envelope, cover the flap with more of the Oh So Ombre 6×6 DSP with an added piece of Rococco Rose. Trim to fit. Stamp the same succulent used on the inside of the card in Soft Sea Foam, both on the flap and on the card front. Nicely done!

The product list may be found below ~ except for those items not available until Jan 5, 2021! As a thank you to my customers, when the order is between $50-$150 I offer a SU! item of your choice valued at $10. Remember to use MY CURRENT HOST CODE SVFB9YJY – good until Dec 10, 2020.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Tags w/ Scraps

Wow – Christmas is just around the corner… are you ready? I’m getting there, making tags right now for presents hubby & I will deliver. Christmas together with extended family will have to wait until next year. It will be better than ever, just by being together. So not complaining, just wistful I guess.

I tend to keep scraps from various Designer Series Papers and it was kinda fun mixing and matching.

It the far left picture, I used papers from a couple of different sources: ‘Tis the Season 6×6 DSP, green plaid & red tree; Feels Like Frost 6×6 DSP. The stamped sentiment is from the new Many Messages stamp set & Messages Dies (available to customers Jan 5, 2021: the ‘Merry Christmas’ is from Perfectly Plaid stamp set, stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink.

In the far right photo, Feels Like Frost 6×6 DSP was used on both tags, along with more of the Tis The Season 6×6 DSP and tags from the new Many Messages stamp set & Messages Dies.

I began with Whisper White card stock cut 2″ wide and 5 1/4″ in length. The tops were punched using the Fancy Tag Topper punch and the bottoms using the Triple Banner Punch, which shortened them some; ribbons were Metallic Edge Ribbon in Silver plus All The Trimmings Ribbon Combo Pack in Poppy Parade. The DSP used were already in strips of various widths, I just used what was on hand, never measuring, sorry, and layered. The trees were punched using the Pine Tree Punch and sentiments are all on dimensionals. Star Elements were added to the trees. The back of the tags were left plain to write ‘To and From’. Products may be found later in this post 😁

Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms Anniversary Card Fun Fold

December seems to be a month of anniversaries – our #2 daughter was married on the 27th several years ago, so my mind turned to making one. On my desk for some time has been the Forever Blossoms floral bunch, ready for me to color and I began working on it. I had stamped the bunch in Tuxedo Black Memento ink, so knew I could color with the Stampin Blends. Let’s take a look…

Forever Blossoms Fun Fold – #1

It’s the wrong time of year for cherry blossoms, but aren’t they pretty? On that gray background they really stand out. I used Calypso Coral Stampin Blends for the flowers and Old Olive Stampin Blends for the leaves. This was stamped on Thick Whisper White and it tends to dry the ink faster than the regular Whisper White, so I did just a portion of the flower at a time and used a lighter touch at the same time.Once colored, die cut with the Cherry Blossoms Dies. I tied a double Linen Thread bow, adhered it to the bottoms of the floral bunch with a glue dot, put dimensionals on the back of the floral bunch and set it aside to prepare the papers.

  • Thick Whisper White card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 4 1/4 & 6 1/2. Note this second score line is folded back, creating a z-fold.
  • Calypso Coral 1 7/8 x 5 3/8 (front panel), 2 1/8 x 5 3/8 (inside panel), and 4 1/8 x 5 3/8. Adhere with liquid glue to the appropriate panel
  • Peony Garden DSP for the front panel 1 3/4 x 5 1/4 + 2 1/4 x is 6 for the envelope flap. Adhere with liquid glue to the front panel.
  • Whisper White 1 3/4 x 5 1/4 (inside panel), 4 x 5 1/4 for the far right panel + enough for the cherry blossom bunch, the single flower, the cherry bud and the sentiment (about 2 1/2 x 6 should do all that).
    Adhere the small panel to the appropriate place.
  • On the larger Whisper White panel, stamp the leaves at the top right and bottom right in Old Olive ink. These will be embellished later with the die cut bud and die cut flower
  • Stamp the single flower from the Forever Blossoms stamp set using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and color with Stampin Blends – Calypso Coral. Put a dimensional on the back and adhere to the lower leaves.
  • Stamp the flower bud from the Forever Blossoms stamp set in Old Olive ink and color carefully with Stampin Blends – Calypso Coral. Die cut this and adhere to the upper leaves with liquid glue.
  • Stamp the sentiment from Forever Blossoms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento ink between the two flowers.
  • Back to the front panel… Stamp the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento ink & die cut. This sentiment/ die cut comes from the new stamp set Many Messages & Messages Dies (available to customer Jan 5, 2021), but you could easily use something else.

Add the cherry blossom bunch on dimensionals to that small front panel, then the die cut sentiment and the card itself is complete!

For the envelope, adhere the 2 1/4 x 6 Peony Garden DSP to the flap with liquid glue and trim to fit. On the envelope front, stamp just a portion of the cherry blossom with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. I chose not to color this as the simplicity of the flower ‘speaks’ for itself – in other words, is enough.

Forever Blossoms Fun Fold – #4

Stampin’ Up! Garden Wishes & Dragonfly Garden

I started working with the new Dragonfly Punch and was having way too much fun… mixed in Garden wishes stamp set and some Dandy Garden Memories & More cards plus a bit of Dandy Garden 6×6 DSP.

Here are two cards to add to my sympathy stash…

The Garden Wishes card is created with a Calypso Coral card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 4 1/4. The next layer is Dandy Garden 6×6 DSP 2 1/8 x 5 1/4 with Whisper White card stock on top 1 7/8 x 5 1/4 ~ both adhered with liquid glue. My next step was to cut a panel of Whisper White 2 5/8 x 4 and stamp it in Smokey Slate ink with the Garden wishes stamp set. I adhered this to a Calypso Coral piece 2 3/4 x 4 1/8 and attached dimensionals to it and popped it in the center of the card. For the sentiment I pulled out my Dandy Garden Memories & More Card Pack and peeled a sticky sentiment and just added it to the small panel. I really like that burst of color on the card – not too overwhelming, but adds something to it. Next I had already punched a dragonfly from the Dandy Garden 6×6 DSP, covered it in Wink of Stella for some galm, put a couple of dimensionals on it and on it went. The bow is from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo (Terracotta Tile) and goes perfectly. Card front complete!

For the inside I stamped the sentiment in Smokey Slate ink from Woven Heirlooms stamp set on a panel of Whisper White 3 1/4 x 5. I added a smaller panel at the bottom to create something different – 1/2 x 5. I had a piece of the DSP left from the front of the card so added it with liquid glue.

The envelope flap got a strip of the same Dandy Garden 6×6 DSP plus a strip of Calypso Coral to finish. The front was stamped in Smokey Slate ink with the Garden Wishes stamp set.

Card #2 is the Dragonfly Garden bundle – and of course more…

Dragonfly Garden Bundle – #5

The card base is Thick Whisper White 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 4 1/4. The next layer is regular Whisper White 4 x 5 1/4 run through new Painted Texture Embossing Folder and adhered with liquid glue. I stamped the floral bunch in Tuxedo Black Memento ink so I could color it with Stampin Blends. It was stamped on a piece of the Dandy Garden 6×6 DSP 1 3/4 x 4 3/4. The Stampin Blends used were: Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Highland Heather, Bronze and a bit of the Color Lifter. I adhered this to a panel of Bumblebee card stock just a bit larger 1 7/8 x 4 7/8. I cut yet another piece of Whisper White 2 1/4 x 5 1/4, ran it through the Tasteful Texture Embossing Folder, adhered it with liquid glue to the card front, then added the Bumblebee/ stamped panel with dimensionals. A dragonfly punched from a piece of the Dandy Garden 6×6 DSP was covered in Wink of Stella and added to the panel with more dimensionals. A smaller dragonfly was also added to the panel – on dimensionals. Finally I added the sentiment panel created days ago with the Many Messages stamp set & coordinating die – liquid glue on the right, directly on the panel and a mini dimensional or two on the left side. For a final touch I added one of the Ladybug Trinkets with a glue dot and the front was complete.

For the inside I stamped the small ‘squadron’ of dragonflies in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on a 4 x 5 1/4 Whisper White card stock and colored with the Highland Heather Stampin Blends. I then stamped the sentiment from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in the same ink. I adhered this to the inside of the card with liquid glue and the card was complete. For the envelope, I covered the flap with the same Dandy Garden 6×6 DSP as card #1 and stamped the ‘squadron’ of dragonflies on top of it. Love Black Memento ink then stamped the wings with Bumblebee ink, from the same stamp set. And yes, I covered the wings with Wink of Stella.

These are my two cards for the day. I had such fun working with these new supplies and can’t wait until you can have them in your stash. Jan 5, 2021 is the order date for customers – so put it on your calendar.

As a thank you to my customers, when the order is between $50-$150 I offer a SU! item of your choice valued at $10. Remember to use MY CURRENT HOST CODE SVFB9YJY – good until Dec 3, 2020. When the order is over $150, you still receive that free gift from me, but SU! has Stampin’ Rewards that may be used for additional products 😁

Stampin’ Up Dragonfly Garden

Hello folks… yesterday was a rainy day, a perfect opportunity to create indoors – and I did just that. I used the Dragonfly Garden stamp set with coordinating Dragonfly Punch and the such fun to use, Blending Brushes.

Dragonfly Garden Bundle – #1

Don’t you appreciate the softness of this card? The background is a Whisper White panel 4 x 5 1/4 colored with So Saffron ink and the NEW Blending Brushes. I basically covered the entire panel but made it a bit darker in the middle area – to highlight the dragonfly and the lovely floral bunch which I added next. The floral bunch comes from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set and was stamped in Misty Moonlight ink. The dragonfly was punched with the new Dragonfly punch, from one of the papers in the Dandy Garden 6×6 DSP pack. I added Wink of Stella to the entire dragonfly for a bit of sparkle, put dimensionals on the back and adhered it to the card front.

oops – upside down… Dragonfly Garden Bundle

The sentiment comes from the new Many Messages stamp set & coordinating Messages Dies. A couple of days I stamped this full sheet of sentiments in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and die cut them with the full sheet die. It’s really handy to have these all ready! This sentiment was also put on dimensionals and adhered to the card front.

I added three 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots and the card front panel was complete. Put dimensionals on the panel and adhere to the Thick Whisper White card base (8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.

Dragonfly Garden Bundle – #1

For the inside I again used the wonderful Blending Brushed to create an oval coloring with So Saffron ink. I then stamped the sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink using the Woven Heirlooms stamp set.

Dragonfly Garden Bundle – inside – #2

For the envelope I used the Blending Brushes and So Saffron Ink to go around the entire envelope, including the flap. I then stasmped a portion of the floral bunch from Dragonfly garden stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink and the envelope & card were done!

Each of these items will be available to you as a customer Jan 5, 2021. The 2020-2021 Enamel Dots are available now as are the inks and papers and Woven Heirlooms stamp set. I will have those products listed below for your convenience.

Stampin’ Up! Woven Heirlooms Sympathy Part 2

Hello again! How are you after all the Black Friday hullabaloo? Do you feel good about your purchases? As for me… a tiny bit of online shopping, but nothing else. And the turkey… it is boned and ready for an awesome soup – yay…I will chop & cook the veggies this morning so we can have it for lunch. My mouth is watering already… Is this a card blog? Oh yes… must get back on track 😜…

I liked the result of the Woven Heirlooms card yesterday, that I made two more ~ similar. I’m calling this Part 2.

Just as a comparison, here is yesterday’s card.

Woven Heirlooms Sympathy

The Misty Moonlight card above could easily be sent to a man: the others, well, not so much.

Deets for Misty Moonlight card:

  • Misty Moonlight card stock 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 4 1/4: remove 1/2″ from front
  • Run a panel of Misty Moonlight ( through the Tasteful Textile Embossing folder; adhere to the card front with liquid glue
  • Die cut a panel of Misty Moonlight card stock with the Ornate Layers Dies
  • Stamp the sentiment from Woven Heirlooms stamp set, on a Whisper White card stock (2 3/16 x 3 9/16) in Misty Moonlight ink. Adhere to the die cut with liquid glue. Attach to the card front with dimensionals as shown.
  • Adhere a strip of the 2020-2022 In Color 6×6 DSP in Misty Moonlight (1/2 x 3 3/4) with liquid glue
  • Add Pearl Basic Jewels & a bow tied with the Flowers For Every Season Misty Moonlight/ Silver baker’s twine. The bow is adhered weith a rolled up glue dot.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from Woven Heirlooms stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on a panel of Whisper White 3 3/8 x 4 3/4. This was adhered to the card inside with liquid glue.

For the envelope I used the same 2020-2022 In Color 6×6 DSP (2 1/4 x 6), adhered it to the flap & trimmed to fit. I then stamped a fun design in Misty Moonlight ink on the envelope front. This came from Woven Heirlooms stamp set.

The next card uses Purple Posy for the card base but is less fussy and is done on a regular card base, no trimming from the front.

Woven Heirlooms Sympathy Part 2 – Purple Posy
  • Purple Posy card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
  • Panel of Purple Posy (4 x 5 1/4) run through the Tasteful Textile embossing folder and adhered with liquid glue to the card front.
  • Die cut a Purple Posy panel (3 1/2 x 5)using the Ornate Layers Dies and reserve the outline.
  • Cut a panel of Feels Like Frost 6×6 DSP (2 3/16 x 3 9/16) and adhere to the die cut with liquid glue. Put the die cut on dimensionals and adhere to the center of the card.
  • Cut a strip of Whisper White 1 x 4, stamp the sentiment in Highland Heather ink using Woven heirlooms stamp set. Trim ends using the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch. Adhere to the card front with dimensionals.
  • Add Playing with Patterns Resin Dots

For the inside of the card, stamp the sentiment from Woven Heirlooms stamp set in Highland Heather ink on a Whisper White panel 3 1/4 x 4 3/4. Adhere to the inside of the card with liquid glue. Using the die cut ‘frame’ of the Ornate Layers Die cut from the card front, adhere over the Whisper White panel. Just lovely…

For the envelope, I was running out of the Feels Like Frost 6×6 DSP, so I added a strip of Purple Posy card stock, then the remaining amount of DSP. Stamp the fun design from Woven Heirlooms stamp set on the envelope front in Highland Heather ink.

These turned out beautifully; I think, and different enough I didn’t feel as though I was mass producing. I love the ‘frame’ around the sentiment on the purple Posy card. It really adds aa nice touch.

If you have questions about today’s post ~ or a previous post for that matter, please do not hesitate to post a note here or send to my email: tlsbrightspot.com. Products for today’s card may be found below.

Stampin’ Up! Woven Heirlooms Sympathy

Hello there! Happy POST Thanksgiving or Black Friday shopping? What are you doing today? Are you recuperating from over-eating? Are you shopping ’til you drop? Whatever it is, be safe, ok!!!

Yesterday I was talking with our daughter and she said she needed several sympathy cards. I try to keep her supplied – ya know? She’s one of my ‘backbones’ and it’s a small way of saying thanks. :O)

Woven Heirlooms Sympathy #1

When hubby saw this, he said ‘oh, very Victorian. I like it.’ I guess the soft Petal Pink, that gorgeous die cut AND the bow make it seem so. Here are the deets:

  • Thick Whisper White 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. Remove 1″ from the front.
  • Whisper White panel 3 3/8 x 5 1/4 run through the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder and adhered with liquid glue to the card front.
  • Whisper White panel for the die cut using Ornate Layers Dies. This is just a stunning die cut.
  • New Fine Art Floral DSP (available to customers Jan 5 in the 2021 Jan – Jun Mini Catalog) cut 2 1/4 x 3 5/8. Adhere either with liquid glue or Stampin Seal to the Whisper White Ornate Layer die cut.
  • Put dimensionals on the die cut panel and adhere to the card front as shown – with the die cut OVER the open edge of the cut off card front. This really makes it sow off!
  • Cut a panel of Whisper white 1 x 3 1/2 and stamp the sentiment in Petal Pink ink using the Woven Heirlooms stamp set. Add dimensionals to the back and adhere to the card front.
  • Tie a sweet bow with the Organdy Striped Ribbon (in Petal Pink) and adhere with a glue dot. Fini!
Woven Heirlooms Sympathy, inside – #2
  • On a Whisper White Panel cut 4 x 5 1/4, stamp the Woven Heirlooms sentiment in Petal Pink.
  • Adhere to the inside of the card with liquid glue or Stampin Seal. Voila!
Woven Heirlooms Sympathy – #3
  • Cover the envelope flap with a strip of the same Fine Art Floral DSP (2 1/4 x 6) and trim to fit. Adhere with liquid glue.
  • Stamp a fun design using the Woven Heirlooms stamp set and Petal Pink ink on the front of the envelope.

I took my inspiration for this card on the very first page of the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog and adapted it for my purposes. Thanks Stampin’ Up!
