SU! Artistry Blooms with Fall

Posted on by
4

Hello again… I am so excited to share that I had a card class yesterday – actually live and in person! It was outside and we wore masks, but it worked. Going to do this again in two weeks and will probably have to be inside then – so masks still. It was a small group, one a beginner and another who has done scrapbooking but wanting to do & learn more. We did two cards, one which I shared in the last post with the pumpkins stamped all over. The other is the card I’m sharing today and it uses the Artistry Blooms DSP as part of the focal point and the Harvest Hello bundle. Let’s take a look…

Harvest Hello #1

Don’t these colors look good together? They blend well I think.

  • We started by adhering the Artistry Blooms DSP to a panel of MangoMelody card stock with liquid glue.
  • Next we stamped the pumpkin from the Harvest Hello stamp set in Cajun Craze ink on Pumpkin Pie card stock, the leaf in Garden Green ink on Garden Green card stock and the stem in Soft Suede ink on Soft Suede cs. Punch each of these using the Apple Builder Punch.
  • Now punch the cat using the cute Cat Punch out of Basic Black card stock
  • Stamp the sentiment using the Harvest Hello stamp set, in Pumpkin Pie ink on a Whisper White cs strip.
  • Adhere this sentiment panel to a strip of Mango Melody cs

Putting it together…

  • Put dimensionals on the back of the sentiment panel and adhere to the card.
  • With liquid glue on the back of the pumpkin, slip it behind the sentiment, adhering it to the card front.
  • Adhere the stem with liquid glue
  • Put a mini dimensional on the back of the leaf and adhere to the pumpkin.
  • The cat sits ON the sentiment banner… therefore dimensionals only on the upper portion of the cat and a slip of a dimensional on the tail – and adhere.
  • Now place three Artistry Blooms Sequins (these are adhesive backed!)
    to the card front, and adhere the entire panel to the Whisper White card base. Voila – your card front is complete.

For the inside…

Harvest Hello card, inside, #2
  • Stamp the pumpkin in Cajun Craze ink on the Whisper White panel
  • Stamp the ‘face’ with Tuxedo Black Memento ink
  • Stamp the stem in Soft Suede ink
  • Stamp the curlycues in Garden Green ink
  • Adhere to a panel of Mango Melody cs with liquid glue
  • Adhere this to the inside of the card. Voila! your card is complete!
Harvest Hello Bundle, #3

Love how this turned out and the folks were able to do it without any problem at all – YAY!

SU! Gather Together in Color

Posted on by
3

Where does the time go – here it is Wednesday already, you know, hump day. Today’s card speaks fall and thankfulness all in one – and it’s not complicated either. Nice to have something easy now & then, right?

Gather Together #1

What do you think? I love the color combination and I appreciate the simplicity. So here’s how I created this… almost beginner-type card.

  • Stamp the larger pumpkin randomly in Cajun Craze ink on a Whisper White panel. I recommend stamping at least five times, maybe seven but always an odd number of times.
  • Stamp the duo pumpkin in Pumpkin Pie ink, again randomly. This time the number is unimportant as you are using this stamp to fill in the white spaces.
  • Using the brush tip of your Pumpkin Pie marker, flip the brush against the lid of the marker to scatter ink. Now do the same with the Cajun Craze marker. Love this look… give it just a bit to dry.
  • Adhere the Whisper White panel to Mango Melody cs with liquid glue.
  • Adhere this to the Cajun Craze card base.
  • Stamp the sentiment from the Gather Together stamp set in Pumpkin Pie ink on a Whisper White strip.
  • Adhere the strip to a Mango Melody strip.
  • Wrap Linen Thread around the banner strip at least three times and tie a knot. Tie a double bow with Linen Thread & adhere with a glue dot.
  • Add dimensionals to the back and then to the card front. Voila! the card front is complete.

For the inside…

Gather Together #2, inside
  • Stamp the sentiment – still from Gather Together stamp set, in Cajon Craze ink on a Whisper White panel.
  • Ink the pumpkin in Pumpkin Pie ink – stamp off once – and stamp over the sentiment. I love this look!! It brings the eye directly to the sentiment and adds a wonderful layer of color.
  • Adhere to a panel of Mango Melody cs and then adhere to the card inside with liquid glue. Your inside is now complete.. wheee, card is finis.

Don’t you love how easy this was? And it’s a beautiful card.

Gather Together #3

Now that we have our card made, let’s talk Paper Pumpkin for a bit. This next months kit is titled Joy To The World and is of course Christmas – and yes, cards. Sentiments will be in three languages and here’s why… SU! is encouraging us to send cards (for real) or virtually to folks from other countries – kind of like a pen pal. While you may not connect enough to actually BE pen pals, it would still be fun to connect to other crafters around the world. So join PP even for the month – just to try it out. And when b you do you can also join the Joy To The World Paper Pumpkin Page. But you must be a subscriber to do that! Join now…

SU! Dove of Hope

Posted on by
4

It’s the start of a new week – are you ready for it? I’m a bit psyched as I have a couple of things happening this week – and well, I just have a positive attitude, which helps. I haven’t played with the Dove of Hope Bundle much and decided today was the day to share a card with that as the focus.

This bundle has some stunning dies, for the wings and for the tail. You can see them in this photo. The dove has a sweet look on it’s face, don’t you think so? The dove practically makes the card all by itself. But I also like the background it’s on – almost like a cloud in it’s softness except of course it’s rectangular.

Let’s get to the deets on this sweet card.

Dove of hope Bundle #1

Begin with Gray Granite cs as your card base. Add a layer of Whisper White and Peony Garden DSP which have been placed on dimensionals and added to the card base. Die cut the dove from Whisper White cs using the Stitched Dove Dies that are part of the Dove of Hope Bundle. I used four dies for the dove. Don’t you love the intricateness of the wing die? The background wing is a solid one – could have used the intricate but I wanted this dove flying up and knew it wasn’t going to show much. The intricate tail is all part of the body of the die. Behind it I have added a solid tail for depth and that was added with a mini dimensional so it wouldn’t be flat. The wings were attached with liquid glue. I also die cut a sprig from Just Jade cs. I like how this slight color gives the card a brightness – and hope.

Dove of Hope Bundle #2

When I was fiddling with placement I decided a layer of texture was needed and pulled out the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty DSP and turned it over to the white side. It was just enough! I used Stampin Seal to adhere the dove to the Laser-Cut paper, then Stampin Seal again just where the dove was to adhere that to the card front. I added a tiny dot of liquid glue to the Just Jade sprig and slipped in under the beak, adhering it to the beak.

Dove of Hope #1

For the sentiment panel, I stamped in Just Jade ink on Whisper White cs using a sentiment from the Dove Of Hope stamp set. I die cut this using one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I added a Just Jade cs strip to the back of the sentiment banner with liquid glue. I adhered this to the card front with dimensionals. For a final bit of glam I added three Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems – and the card front was done.

For the inside of the card I stamped the sentiment in Just Jade ink on a Whisper White panel then stamped the larger sprig in stamped off once Gray Granite ink. You probably think these should have been reversed (the sprig in Just Jade ink), but I wanted the sentiment to be the focus.

Dove of Hope Bundle #3

For the envelope I stamped the smaller dove in stamped off once Gray Granite ink and covered the flap with a panel of the same Prized Peony DSP, adhering it with liquid glue. And the card was done… Hope you like!

Dove of Hope Bundle #4

SU! Merry Moose

Posted on by
4

Woohoo – it’s Saturday and World Card Making Day!

For my cards today I have chosen to play with the Merry Moose stamp set and the coordinating Moose Punch. Lots of clever sayings and stamps in this set. Let’s take a look at what I created – two different cards, same layout, DSP is simply turned over to use the other side for the background.

Merry Moose card 1
Merry Moose card 2

For card 1 I used the Feels Like Frost 6×6 DSP adhered to seaside Spray cs, stamped & punched the moose from Whisper White card stock and mounted it with dimensionals then stamped the sentiment directly on the DSP. I also stamped the scarf, fussy cut it, added the glamorous Wink of Stella, some Iridescent Pearls and the card front was done.

For card 2 I began with the same Feels Like Frost 6×6 DSP but turned it over to use the other side! I adhered it to Seaside Spray cs, then cut a banner for the bottom out of Seaside Spray & Whisper White. I stamped the sentiment in Seaside Spray ink on the Whisper White panel then adhered it to the Seaside Spray strip and adhered this to the card front with liquid glue. I then punched the moose from Basic Black cs & Whisper White cs (to create a shadow effect for the moose), adhered them together with liquid glue and attached this to the banner. He needed a scarf too and that was stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink, fussy cut and adhered with liquid glue. And oh yes, that scarf got Wink of Stella as well. A small Rhinestone Basic Jewel was added for his eye.

Two completely different cards – similar by using the same basic colors, just changing it up a bit. Love how easy this was to do…

Merry Moose card 2
Merry Moose card 1

Now for the insides of these two cards. Remember there are so many stamps in this Merry Moose stamp set to allow you to be creative.

Merry Moose Card 1 inside

For card 1 inside, I first stamped the tree in Pretty Peacock ink then stamped the cute packages in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored them with Stampin Blends: Poppy Parade and Just Jade.

Merry Moose card 2 inside

For card 2 inside I again stamped the tree in Pretty Peacock ink then stamped this cute raccoon on a log in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored it with Stampin Blends: Crumb Cake combo pack and the log with light Crumb Cake and ______. For an added touch I added a fun Star Element to the tree top, which the raccoon is watching with awe. The sentiment was stamped in Seaside Spray ink.

For the envelopes…

Merry Moose Card 1 envelope

Stamp the tree in Pretty Peacock ink then the cute Santa hat in Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Color the hat with Poppy Parade Stampin Blends.

Merry Moose card 2 envelope

For this set I stamped the moose in Crumb Cake ink then the Santa hat in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored it with the Poppy Parade Stampin Blends. I used the same DSP to cover the envelope flap.

Both cards completed in likidy split time using mostly the same colors and layouts… love how these turned out. If you have this set I encourage you to pull it out and play.

SU! Masculine – In Good Taste

Posted on by
2

Hi Everyone… do you have trouble making masculine cards? I do! But with the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper, most of the work is done for us. That paper, the Tasteful Labels Dies and the Subtle Textured embossing folder have created my card for me. Wheee. Let’s take a peek.

In Good Taste #1

And here’s how I’ve done it…

I started with a Thick Whisper White card stock. To that I added a layer of Basic Gray card stock after running it through the Subtle Textured embossing folder. Then I pulled out these gorgeous papers from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper. I die cut two of them using the same Stitched Rectangle Dies – 3rd from the smallest by the way. These I layered together, off set with Stampin Seal. (Yes, I usually use liquid glue for just about everything, but for today I used the Stampin Seal.) They were then adhered to the card front, again with Stampin Seal.

In Good Taste #2

I found another piece of the In Good Taste DSP that coordinated well and die cut a background banner. The Tasteful Labels Dies are so versatile, I love the curves and variety in this die set. Before adhering this to the card front, I felt the card needed something extra. I found this gorgeous 1/4″ Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon, cut a length and added it to the back of the banner piece with Stampin Seal. Because the ribbon is thin, I was able to I add this to the card front with Stampin Seal.

In Good Taste #3

For the sentiment banner, I pulled out the Beautiful Autumn stamp set and stamped my sentiment in Basic Gray ink on a scrap of Whisper White cs. I die cut this sentiment with another of the dies from Tasteful Labels Dies, put dimensionals on the back and attached over the DSP banner. My final touch for the card front was to add these shiny Iridescent Pearls. And voila! – my card front is done.

For the inside of my card I used the rim of the die cuts from the card front rectangles and adhered them with liquid glue. This gives the inside a very artsy and creative look and frames the simple sentiment. The sentiment comes from the same stamp set, Beautiful Autumn, and was stamped in Basic Gray ink.

In Good Taste #4

With the card completed I moved on to do the envelope – no ‘neked’ envelopes, right? Right! I adhered a strip of the In Good Taste DSP with liquid glue to the envelope flap and trimmed to fit. I then stamped the sentiment from. the Beautiful Autumn stamp set in Basic Gray ink and called it a day. I love this card! It speaks from my heart… and I can’t wait to give it to someone very special.

In Good Taste #5

SU! Online Store Update!!!!

Posted on by
Reply

Stampin’ Up! is updating the look and function of the online store!  Yay!!  The store will be updated beginning tomorrow, August 4 with a new look and feel to help you better navigate it while you shop!  Here is what you need to know so that you’re all set to shop on August 4!

The new online store will go live at 7:00 AM (MT) on 4 August.  Be aware that the online store will be offline temporarily from midnight until around 7:00 AM MT on August 4 as they transition to the new store.  It should be back up and running no later than 7:00 AM MT for ordering from the new August-December 2020 Mini Catalog!

A few things to know:

  1. Your account information and passwords will still work with the new site.
    • Be sure that you know your current login information so that you can log in right away on Tuesday!
    • If you don’t know your login information by heart (or if you do like I do and have it saved to your browser so that you don’t have to remember it every time):
      • Log into your account today and then click on “my account” and then “email/passwords” and either record the information that is shown or, if it’s not shown, update your password and then write it down.
  2. While old bookmarks and links will forward you to the new store, your browser will see it as a “new” site. If you rely on your browser to remember your login information, the first time that you log in, it will not associate the new site with that saved information.
  3. Be sure that you see my name at the top on the right when you are shopping with me to earn my rewards and benefits for ordering!

If you have trouble logging in on Tuesday:

  1. Once the new store is up and running on Tuesday, if you have trouble logging in, you can click the “Forgot Password” link on the new online store’s sign-in page and follow the steps to reset your password. The password reset email will come from noreply@info.stampinup.com. Adding this email address to the contacts list in your email program and/or searching for your email program’s spam settings can help you ensure that you receive the email.
  2. Should you run into any problems, there is a link in the password reset window to a page with additional information.
  3. If you have trouble accessing your account, Stampin’ Up! can also help you reset your password.  Just call them at 1-800-STAMPUP and they’ll be happy to help!  Unfortunately, I’m not able to assist with password changes as it’s a security issue for you. But Stampin’ Up! can definitely help you!

Hopefully this will be a seamless transition for you on August 4!  I’m looking forward to seeing the new site design too!
