Stampin’ Up! Kraft Note Cards & Nature’s Harvest

Posted on November 9, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Here it is Wednesday and in just two days I’ll be attending Stampin’ Up! Convention in Jacksonville. Of course a storm is headed there too… so I’m just a bit anxious. Keeping tabs on everything but definitely excited about the convention. It’s always a positive, upbeat experience. The atmosphere is ….. well, you gotta be there 😁

A couple of days ago I was using the Kraft Note Cards & Envelopes and there were two left in the package – so my thought was, use them! So I paired them with Nature’s Harvest stamp set & Memento ink.

The first card is done with a Water Painter & Whisper White Craft ink for the flower heads. They are definitely brighter & more intense in color. The stems and leaves are done with Watercolor Pencils. The second card is done with Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen, so softer. And of course the Tailor Made Tag Die brings direct attention to the tag, not so much the flowers. I think I prefer the first card. The bow is Baker’s Twine Essential Pack, white. I cut a length and pulled the strands apart. It’s attached with a folded over glue dot. These cards are for someone moving, so the sentiments are perfect on both cards – and they come from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set.

Both of the insides of the Note Cards are the same: the small floral bouquet is from Nature’s Harvest stamp set stamped in Memento Black ink. The color blotch is also from Nature’s Harvest and is stamped in So Saffron ink. The Basic White panel was added with liquid glue and the card was complete.

For the envelope, I added a Subtles 6×6 DSP in So Saffron to the envelope flap and trimmed it to fit for both envelopes. So, tell me, do you have a preference on cards? Do you like one better than the other?

Stampin’ Up! Kraft Note Cards & Happiness Abounds

Posted on November 5, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Saturday morning… it is JUST getting daylight here in New Jersey ~ 7 AM and with the time change tonight it will still be very dark tomorrow at this point – ugh… Next week at this time, I will be attending the Stampin’ Up! Convention and will be in Jacksonville, FL with several Stampin’ Up buddies. I’ll send some photos of us having a good time. You can think about joining us next year :O) I have a cheerful card for you today using the Kraft Note Cards & envelopes and the Happiness Abounds bundle.

Stampin' Up! Kraft Note Cards & Happiness Abounds bundle.1

These Blossoming Happiness Dies dies are so fun to use. You can see the detail of the one die on the left. The other die I used for this card is the leaf die. I first stamped a piece of Pear Pizzazz card stock with the leaf stamp from Happiness Abounds stamp set then die cut it. It’s perfect with this daisy punched using the Medium Daisy Punch. The middle of the daisy has a Daffodil Delight dot from the Glossy Dots Assortment. And the sentiments are from Happiness Abounds stamp set and I used Memento Black ink to stamp them. I appreciate the mix of fonts :O) I will be making several of these for a group that has a member moving and they wanted to write special notes. And since I’m making several, the Stamparatus will come in very handy to stamp the sentiments bing, bam, boom 😁

A couple of other tidbits about this card: I punched two daisies, adhered them together with liquid glue then added them to the card front with a single dimensional. The leaf was added with liquid glue, slipping it behind the daisy.

For the inside, I left room for comments and added just a simple floral bouquet at the bottom, stamped with Happiness Abounds stamp set & Memento ink on a Basic White panel.

I decided not to do anything to the envelope. I know – just not right, right?! But I wanted to spend time on the card itself and I think the envelopes will not be kept. It’s a pretty little card and I think the recipient will like it. The Kraft Note Cards and Envelopes were new in the Annual catalog, so still available and reasonably priced.

Stampin’ Up! Kraft Note Cards with Abigail Rose DSP

Posted on September 14, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Wednesday morning! Time for some quick & easy cards. I’ve chosen the Kraft Note Cards & Envelopes to pair with the Abigail Rose DSP. Gosh that paper is stunning. Cards can be super simple and still show off handmade. I’ve done some coloring with Stampin’ Blends and added ribbon or linen thread to each. Let’s take a peek.

Stampin' Up! Abigail Rose DSP w/ Kraft Note Cards.1 — Card 1

Stampin' Up! Abigail Rose w/ Kraft Note Cards.2 — Card 2

Stampin' Up! Abigail Rose w/ Kraft Note Cards.3 — Card 3

Each is so different… do you have a favorite? I do but I’m not telling. :O)

Card 1: Stampin’ Blends used were Flirty Flamingo, Pale Papaya & So Saffron, Petal Pink & Daffodil Delight and Old Olive for the leaves. This was adhered directly to the Kraft Note Card. A bow was added with a glue dot using Crinkled Seam Binding ribbon & Linen Thread tied together. The sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso ink, fussy cut and adhered directly under the bow.

Card 2: Again, Stampin’ Blends were used to color the flowers ~ Calypso Coral this time. Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon was wrapped over and secured in back with Seal+, then an extra length was tied in a knot and secured with a glue dot. The DSP was adhered to the Kraft Note Card; sentiment stamped in Early Espresso ink, die cut and adhered with liquid glue.

Card 3: Stampin’ Blends were used to color leaves: Blackberry Bliss, Pale Papaya & Daffodil Delight. This was added to a Blackberry Bliss piece. Linen Thread was wrapped around twice, tied in a knot. Another length was added, tied in a knot and securing it all with a glue dot. This was adhered to the Kraft Note Card front with dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped in Blackberry Bliss on a Basic White piece, adhered to a Blackberry Bliss panel and adhered to the front with dimensionals. Three Glossy Dots in Daffodil Delight were added.

On the inside of each is a Basic White panel, no stamping at all, for simplicity. This would be a perfect little gift set for someone. AND when ordering the Kraft Note Cards & Envelopes, a Kraft box comes with it!
