Stampin’ Up! Texture Chic and Snowflakes

Good Tuesday morning! I was driving around town yesterday doing errands and oh my goodness – the tree colors are spectacular! The yellows, golds, oranges and rust, reds – they are in their prime showing off. It was simply jaw-dropping stunning. Of course – that has nothing to do with my card today, I just simply HAD to share the glory that is out there… Today’s card… Wintry 3D Embossing Folder (using the snowflake), Taylor Made Tags and the wonderful Texture Chic DSP share the spotlight on this card.

Stampin' Up! Texture Chic DSP & Snowflakes.1

I used the Chic Dies that coordinate with the Season of Chic stamp set to create the die cut snowflakes: Basic White, Soft Succulent and some Kraft card stock. I used the Tailor Made Tags Dies for, what else, the various tags :O) Two of them are die cut from Texture Chic Specialty DSP and the top one is is Basic White stamped with Pool Party ink. Everything is layered: some with liquid adhesive, others with dimensionals. The bow is from the fabulous Threaded Twine. I simply cut a length and pulled several of the threads apart and made a bow. It has a very natural look that I like a lot. Once I did all the die cuts, I put the card together: Crumb Cake card stock for the card base. This was layered with a panel of Basic White run through the Wintry 3D embossing folder twice (to fill the page so to speak). OH… I DID use a Blending Brush to add a bit of Crumb Cake ink to various snowflakes – to give it a bit of a vintage look.Then the rest was added as you see. I die cut the larger snowflake twice: once in Basic White, again in Soft Succulent and adhered them together, holding all the inner pieces together as best I could. For glam I added the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels in the center of many of the snowflakes.

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic.inside.2

On a Basic White panel I stamped the snowflake (love this stamp!!!) in Pool Party ink then the ‘splatter’ stamp also from the Season of Chic stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink. So here’s my confession… I wish I had done it the other way: snowflake in Evening Evergreen and splatter in Pool Party. As it is the splatter is too strong, it shows more than the snowflake 😦 Once the panel was added to the inside of the card – it was done.

For the envelope, more of the Texture Chic DSP on the envelope flap, adhered & trimmed to fit. I stamped the snowflake in Evening Evergreen ink and love it! Of course, it is from Season of Chic stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas with Awash in Beauty DSP & Wonderful Snowflakes

I’ve taken some unexpected DSP and combined it with Wonderful Snowflakes & Wintry 3D Embossing Folder to make a really pretty Christmas Card. I have also heat embossed the Wonderful Snowflake with silver embossing powder. I’ve also added a fun ‘knot bow’ with the Metallic Mesh Ribbon.

Stampin' Up! C'mas w/ Awash in Beauty DSP & Wonderful Snowflakes.1

The card base is a piece of Blushing Bride card stock with a slightly smaller layer of Basic White. On top of that is a panel of the Awash In Beauty DSP embossed with the Wintry 3D embossing folder – the snowflake. Remember this embossing folder is a two-set and narrow. Narrow means they could fit in the mini cut & emboss machine. However, I was embossing a panel larger than what would fit in the mini, and ran it through twice. Once embossed I adhered this to the Basic White panel on the card front. Next I worked on the Wonderful Snowflake: rubbed gently with the embossing buddy, tapped the snowflake with the VersaMark ink pad, sprinkled it with silver embossing powder and heat embossed. I did this twice so there was a smooth layer of silver on the snowflake. And when I used the Heat Tool, I heated from the underside of the snowflake. Next I cut a Basic White circle with the largest of the Layering Circle Dies. I took Blending Brush and Blushing Bride ink to add some color. I did the same with Merry Merlot ink. I added the Wonderful Snowflake with a dimensional. I cut a square of Silver Foil, then a slightly larger one of Basic White and adhered them all together, and then directly to the embossed front.

I stamped the sentiment using the Hope & Peace stamp set: first with VersaMark then sprinkling with silver embossing powder and heat setting with the Heat Tool – all on a strip of Awash In Beauty DSP. I adhered this to another strip of Basic White, put dimensionals on it and added it to the card base. The last step was to tie a knot with the Metallic Mesh Ribbon and adhere it with a glue dot. And the card front – was done!

Stampin' Up! C'mas w/ Awash in Beauty DSP & Wonderful Snowflakes. inside.2

For the inside I took another panel of Basic White and ran just the left edge through with the Wintry 3D Snowflake embossing folder. I then stamped the sentiment in Blushing Bride ink – the sentiment came from Hope & Peace stamp set. This panel was adhered to the inside of the card – and I called it done…

Stampin' Up! C'mas w/ Awash in Beauty DSP & Wonderful Snowflakes

For the envelope I ran a piece of the Awash In Beauty DSP through the same Wintry 3D snowflake embossing folder and adhered it to the flap of the envelope. That was it. I love the sparkle of the silver foil and the heat embossing!

Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets Dies Christmas in White

Good Saturday morning! It is a lovely fall morning here on the East Coast. I looked out the back windows and suddenly (as if overnight) saw all shades of yellow & reds. It’s really here – fall. I love the temperatures this time of year: crisp mornings, clear days, stunning color changes almost while we watch.

I’v e a clean white card for you today, using some new products (again) ~ the Framed Florets stamp set, the Framed Florets Dies and the Framed & Festive stamp set as well. I’ve pulled in Brushed Metallic 12 x 123 sheets and Gold embossing with these new products. Let’s take a peek.

Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Dies & C'mas  in White

Isn’t this frame just gorgeous! For one thing, it’s oval, for another it has wonderful shapes. This particular oval die cuts two items: the oval in the center & the ‘frame’ of the outside. In other words, the center oval could be put on dimensionals. Here I adhered it directly to the Basic White panel after embossing in gold. Here were my steps:

  • do all the die cuts:
    • frame & its center oval in Basic White using the Framed Florets Dies
    • leaves die cut from Brushed Metallic 12 x 12 card stock ~ this comes in copper, brass & gold. I chose scraps of copper & gold. The leaves are from the Framed Florets Dies.
  • stamp the sentiment: on the center oval die cut, clean with the embossing buddy, stamp the image with VersaMark ink, then sprinkle with gold embossing powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.
  • Adhere large frame, centering, on a 4 x 5 1/4 panel of Basic White
  • Adhere leaves following the oval of the frame
  • Adhere the center oval, slipping it behind the die cut leaves
  • Add Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls for additional accent
  • Adhere this completed panel with dimensionals to the Thick Basic White card base.
Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Dies.2

For the inside… Another of the ovals in Framed Florets dies was die cut in Basic White and adhered to a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel. The sentiment is stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink using the Hope & Peace stamp set. The branched leaves were stamped with Memento ink and colored with Soft Succulent Blends. The leaves come from the Framed Florets stamp set and were die cut with Framed Florets Dies. They were adhered to the frame as was another die cut leaf from Brushed Metallic 12 x 12 card stock. Because the Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls are pretty flat, I added those to the inside to add to the gold & white theme. This panel was adhered to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base and the card was complete.

For the envelope I simply stamped the sentiment from Framed & Festive stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink. If you would like to see more cards I have made with these new products, look here, here, and here.

Stampin’ Up! Boughs of Holly Fun Fold for the Thursday Happy Inkin’ Blog Hop

Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop Day! We have a color change this week and I have created a fun fold and used lots of DSP & layers :O) You may have joined me from the fabulous Tara and if so, thanks for hopping over.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop color challenge

And here’s my card…

Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly Fun Fold. Thu Hop

I’ve used Boughs of Holly 12 x 12 DSP, the Mistletoe Magic stamp set, Stitched Rectangles Dies and a few other Stampin’ Up! products to make this stunning card. It’s bold, it catches your eye, but it is not gawdy by any means. Love this fun fold and I’ve made it before – just not very recently. Let’s see if I can break this down so you too, can make this fun fold.

The card base is Cherry Cobbler card stock. The next layer is either Basic White or Mossy Meadow followed by the Boughs of Holly DSP. You can also see that I added a Wonderful Snowflake at one corner to just ‘show off’. I really like the accent it makes :O) The sentiment on the front is stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink with the Mistletoe Magic stamp set. I happen to really like this font so you may see it often. It was die cut with one of the Stitched Rectangles and is adhered with dimensionals to the small folded card in front. I’ve added a few Iridescent Pearls to the die cut for a bit of sparkle.

Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly Fun Fold Thu Hop.2

In this photo you can see how the inside of the card opens – and the Wonderful Snowflake shows to its fullest glory. This also shows off the beautiful Boughs of Holly DSP.

Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly Fun Fold Thu Hop.3

In the far right photo you can see the full inside of the card. And here’s the thing – you would not have to have both panels in stamped Basic White. The one on the left could just as easily be another panel of DSP. Both panels are stamped with Memento ink. The bow is colored with Cherry Cobbler Blends, while the mistletoe is colored with Garden Green reinker and a Water Painter + Cherry Cobbler Blends for the berries. The sentiment is from Mistletoe Magic also and stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink. This will be a card in which lots of news updates will be written. :O)

Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly DSP Fun Fold Thu Hop.4

In this photo you can see the full front of the card with the focus on the small card & the ribbon. The ribbon is attached on the Basic White card front with the Mossy Meadow & DSP layers adhered over it. The ribbon is Natural Finish Ribbon and I love it. It can be stamped and it makes a wonderful bow.

Here the mini card is open to show off more DSP.

Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly Fun Fold Thu Hop.6

And the photo on the right show the mini card fully opened. You could just as easily have the stamped panel on the right & DSP on the left. I might prefer that another time; this is just how it came together this time. The stamped panel is stamped in Memento ink using the Mistletoe Magic stamp set & colored with Real Red Blends and Garden Green reinker & a Water Painter. Add reinker to the lid of the Garden green ink pad, add a single drop of water from the Water painter, swish around to ink the brush and paint the leaves without adding any water at all.

Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly Fun Fold Thu Hop.7

This photo shows exactly the ribbon and how it ‘fits’ holding the card. It is only attached under the mini card front, while the rest is loose to wrap around the card to secure it closed and make a half bow.

Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly Fun Fold Thu Hop.8

Here you see the finished card and the envelope: more of the Boughs of Holly DSP on the flap and on the front the beautiful mistletoe from Mistletoe Magic stamp set. And yep – stamped in Memento ink, colored with Cherry Cobbler Blends and Garden Green Reinker with a Water Painter. All card cuts will be listed below. I look forward to you sharing your creations with me.

Stampin’ Up! Decorated With Happiness Bundle

It’s mid-week… how’s it going? Our week is going well at this end… getting cooler for sure. I need to bring in a couple of plants!!! My card for today uses the Decorated w/ Happiness bundle which I have not used much. I love this bundle – the pine fronds both stamped & die cut; the ornaments; the stars; the sentiments. It fits as lot of my needs :O)

Stampin' Up! Decorated w/ Happiness Bundle

I started by stamping the pine branch in Evening Evergreen ink – and yes, from Decorated with Happiness stamp set and on a Basic White panel. The filler stamp from this set is done in Soft Succulent ink. Next I die cut some of the ornaments using the Decorated Pine Dies from Gold Foil Sheets and chose this ball ornament – also die cut the ‘string’ with the bow from the same Gold Foil Sheets. I adhered the ‘string’ with dots of liquid glue, then stamped the filler image for the ornament in Cherry Cobbler second generation. I needed to ink & stamp twice cuz it wasn’t quite in the right spot 😳 Next I adhered the Gold Foil ornament over the inking. I stamped the greeting using the same Decorated with Happiness stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink. I added the die cut stars as an afterthought and really liked them. They also come from the Decorated Pine Dies & Gold Foil Sheets. I also stamped the the dots/ asterisk stamp in Soft Succulent ink – just cuz. This Basic White panel was adhered to Cherry Cobbler card stock just a bit larger; dimensionals went on the back and this was adhered to the A2 Soft Succulent card base.

Hint… about die cutting with foil: I designate a separate plate for die-cutting foil papers. They are used less and fewer marks on them. I also choose to use foil that is very close to size to the die. This way, marks are not transferred to the die. I mark my cutting plate so it reminds me! See photo.

Stampin' Up! Foil cutting plate.2

For the inside of my card… Basic White card stock and this fun ornament stamped in Evening Evergreen ink at various levels, then the ‘filler’ stamp in Soft Succulent ink, stamped-off first. This was added with liquid glue to the inside of the card base – and done!

Stampin' Up! Decorated w/ Happiness.3

For the envelope… I used the same pine fronds stamp from Decorated With Happiness stamp set and stamped in Evening Evergreen ink – both on the envelope front and the flap. The filler stamp from the same Decorated With Happiness stamp set was inked with Soft Succulent ink and stamped on the pine fronds. I used the dot/ asterisk stamp from the same stamp set and Soft Succulent ink to add more to the envelope front & flap.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Banners Dies & Mistletoe Magic

I have a clean & simple card for you today using the Christmas Banners Dies & Mistletoe Magic stamp stamp set. It begins with a Basic White panel that I placed on my Scoring Tool and scored from the 3/4″ mark to the 1 3/4″. When using the Scoring Tool, you are leaving an indentation. So if the idea is to have the area raised, which I did, once finished scoring, simply turn the panel over and there it is! I have seen several cards with scoring similar to this on Pinterest and simply HAD to give it a try. There has been no name so I can’t give credit. Here is my completed card.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Banners Dies & Mistletoe Magic.1

Can you see the scored lines? Fun, right?! After scoring, I pulled out the Christmas Banners Dies and Garden Green card stock and die cut two pine fronds. I then got Real Red and Early Espresso and die cut a stem with berries. I’m not sure sure you can see it very well, but I added the berries to the stem and slipped it between the two pine fronds, adhering all three together with liquid glue, then to the card front. I think you can see the red berries peeking through in the photo above :O) I made a bow with the 3/8″ Real Red Ribbon from the Combo Pack, then folded over a length to add more ‘tails’ to the bow. These I adhered with glue dots to the pine bundle. I then stamped the Merry Christmas with Memento ink. I know, this seems out of sequence, but I wanted the placement of the sentiment in the right spot. The sentiment comes from Mistletoe Magic stamp set and it’s lengthy. I taped one word, inked, removed the tape and stamped – the Merry first, then followed the same procedure with the word Christmas. I added three dots of Pearlized Enamel Effects in Real Red and set the card aside to dry.

Stampin' Up! Mistletoe Magic.2

I stamped this beautiful mistletoe image from Mistletoe Magic in Memento ink on a Basic White panel, then colored it, first with Cherry Cobbler Blends for the berries, then Garden Green reinker & a Water Painter for the leaves. I put just one drop of reinker in the lid of a Garden Green ink pad, then one drop of water to the reinker drop, then pained the color to the paper. Because this is not watercolor paper or Shimmer paper, it’s important not to add water to the paper itself, just the ink color. And it works well that way. I adhered this to the inside of Thick Basic White card base, then added the card front to the front of this same Thick Basic White. I did have to be careful as the little Pearlized Enamel Effects were not quite dry. I usually let them dry for a good hour or two.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Banners Dies & Mistletoe Magic.3

I kept the envelope very simple by stamping the image from Mistletoe Magic stamp set in Memento ink to both the envelope front & the flap as well, but chose not to color it.It lets the card be the focus :O) I also did some scoring with the Scoring Tool on the envelope flap. It’s hard to see in the photo but it’s on the left end. I love how this turned out and I’m thinking how to use the scoring as an effect on future cards.

Stampin’ Up! Alphabest Bundle, Hello

Good Monday Morning. It’s start of a new week so fresh ideas, fresh thoughts, fresh everything. Shall we? My card today begins with the Abigail Rose 12 x 12 DSP, colored with Stampin’ Blends, then layered on Early Espresso card stock.

Stampin' UP! Alphabest Bundle, Hello

This particular sheet of Abigail Rose DSP is absolutely stunning – and I chose to color it with Stampin’ Blends: far right is Pale Papaya, center is Cajun Craze, and to the left is Pumpkin Pie – variations on the orange family. You COULD color all the flowers or… you could choose not to color any. This is what i did. The strips are adhered to Early Espresso then wrapped with Open Weave Ribbon in Pale Papaya, then adhered to Pale Papaya card stock. When deciding what to do for a sentiment, I brought out the Best Label Punch that punches the letters perfectly, and the coordinating Alphabest stamp set. The letters are stamped in Early Espresso ink before punching them from the Basic White card stock. Each was adhered with dimensionals over the ribbon. Dimensionals were added to the back of the Pale Papaya panel and adhered to Crumb Cake card base – and the card front was done.

Stampin' Up! Alphabest Bundle, Hello.2

For the inside, I wanted it really simple for a special note: Basic White panel adhered to Pale Papaya, then a 1/2″ strip of a different Abigail Rose 12 x 12 DSP across the bottom. This was added to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base & voila – our card is complete!

Stampin' UP! Alphabest Bundle, Hello.3

For the envelope, more of the original pattern of Abigail Rose DSP for the flap, trimmed to fit, then a 1/2″ strip adhered to the bottom of the envelope front. Now if I choose, I can go back and add a sentiment to the inside when I need a special something or write a lengthy note. I love having cards available.

Stampin’ Up! Birthday Fun Fold w/ Framed Florets Bundle

Good Saturday morning.I’ve created a fun fold birthday card for you today using the new Framed Florets Bundle. The card cuts will be listed as I go along and then again at the bottom of this post so you too, can create this fun fold.

Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Bundle & Fun Fold.1

Isn’t this paper (DSP) just beautiful? I guess it’s a bit tricky to see much of it here :0] You’ll have to take my word for it – unless of course you decide you want to get it now… in which case, keep reading and I’ll tell you how you can. For now, a couple more photos to see this card and how it stands to really it off.

Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Bundle Fun Fold.2
Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Bundle Fun Fold.3

The photo to the left shows more of this particular DSP (Fitting Florets 12 x 12 DSP) and the above photo shows how this stands to show off the fun fold.

This is a two part card: the card base and the fun fold adhered together. The card base is Night of Navy 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and has a single strip of Fitting Florets DSP adhered to either side (3/4 x 5 1/4). The fun fold portion is also Night of Navy 8 x 5 1/2 scored on the long side at 1 1/2, 2 3/4, 5 1/4 and 6 1/2. Burnish the folds: mountain, valley, valley, mountain. Add Fitting Florets DSP to each valley fold and the far right mountain fold in this order: 1 x 5 1/4, 1 x 5 1/4 and finally 1 1/4 x 5 1/4. See photo as a guide. The center message panel is Basic White 2 1/4 x 5 1/4.

The front panel is Night of Navy 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 and is adhered to the far left section of the fun fold, but centered when the card is closed – see 1st photo! Adhered to that is Balmy Blue 3 1/4 x 5 1/4. Adhered to that is the Basic White decorated panel. Stamp & decorate prior to adhering it!

To decorate this panel: Stamp the sentiment from Framed Florets stamp set in Night of Navy ink at the upper portion of the Basic White front panel; Stamp the leaf spray , also from Framed Florets stamp set, in Memento Black ink and color with Light Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends. Stamp the floral bouquet from Framed Florets stamp set on a separate panel of Basic White, color with Stampin’ Blends: Polished Pink (both Light & Dark Blends), Soft Succulent (both Light & Dark), & Petal Pink; die cut with Framed Florets Dies. Add dimensionals to back and adhere to panel front. Create this beautiful bow with Silver-Threaded Twine that has been separated. Adhere bow with a glue dot. Add three Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls. Now add this completed panel to the front and your fun fold is done. :O) Because I was playing with the stamp set and it’s coordinating dies, I stamped the very cute berry spray from Framed Florets stamp set and colored with Polished Pink Blends then added it to the inner Basic White panel with liquid glue.

Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Bundle Fun Fold.4

For the envelope I added more of the same pattern from the Fitting Florets DSP pack to the flap, trimmed to fit. I then then stamped this sweet flower from the Framed Florets stamp set in Memento Black ink on the envelope front & colored it with Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends. Just as a reminder, when using Stampin’ Blends on an envelope, slip a heavy card stock in the envelope so the alcohol ink color does not go through to the other side of the envelope :O)

Such a beautiful Suite of products – this Framed Florets. It includes two stamp sets (one of which is Christmas sentiments) and this one with floral & leaf patterns + various sentiments, coordinating Framed Florets Dies, the Fitting Florets DSP and the Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls. All of these are available to demonstrators now – and will be available to customers 1 Nov – Dec 31. After that point, only the Framed Florets, & coordinating Framed Florets Dies will be available in the Jan-Jun 2023 Mini Catalog.

Stampin’ Up! Fun Fold with New Framed Florets Bundle

WooHoo – it’s Friday – time for a fun fold AND the weekend :O) I’m using the all new Framed Florets Bundle, Fitting Florets DSP and the Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls. The papers in this DSP pack are beautiful – as you can see. They will be available to customers Nov 1 – Dec 31 or while supplies last. They are available to demonstrators now, so if you think you might want to join my team, think it through and give me abuzz – let’s talk. This could be part of your joining order :O) But – on to the card.

Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Fun Fold

I saw a card by Lynn Dunn and adapted it to use this wonderful new bundle. The Night of Navy card base is a standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2, adhered with one of the patterns in the Fitting Florets DSP. I then took another piece of Night of Navy, scored in thirds and adhered it in the center so the card would open to the left. You could have it open the other direction, but I didn’t. I adhered another pattern of the Fitting Florets DSP to the front of the fold and decorated that: the wonderful leaf spray is die cut from Evening Evergreen card stock using the Framed Florets Dies. The flower bouquet was stamped in Memento ink on a Basic White piece using the Framed Florets stamp set. I colored it with Stampin’ Blends: Balmy Blue, Light Night of Navy, Soft Succulent and Light Evening Evergreen. This was die cut with the appropriate die from the Framed Florets Dies. I stamped the sentiment in Evening Evergreen ink on another Basic White piece and fussy cut it.To put the front together… Vellum from the Lovely Layers Vellum Pack adhered with just a bit of Stampin’ Seal (where the flower spray will go – so it doesn’t show), then the leaf spray adhered with dabs of liquid glue; the flower spray has dimensionals on back and is adhered over the leaf spray; the sentiment also has dimensionals and is placed beneath the floral spray. I added the three Adhesive-Backed Swirls to complete the front.

Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Fun Fold

Open the card… decorate the center panel with another piece of the Fitting Florets DSP. The sentiment panel simply has a sweet leaf spray stamped in Soft Succulent – and comes from the Framed Florets stamp set. And the card is done!

Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Fun Fold.3

The envelope has more of the Fitting Florets DSP adhered to the flap and trimmed to fit. The envelope front has the same beautiful leaf spray that is on the card in Soft Succulent ink. And that’s it – simple enough already šŸ˜
