Stampin’ Up! Shining Christmas and Merriest Trees Dies Gift Card Holder

Posted on by

Good Monday morning! Gosh – here we are really INTO December. Have you decorated the house yet? We are in the midst and it is so very messy with all the boxes of decorations. The tree is the last thing to do… as we purchase a live cut tree. So we wait so it doesn’t become too dry and a hazard. :O)

Today’s post is all about gift card holders – and I have one to share that’s different. I like it!

Stampin' Up! Shining Christmas SDSP & Merriest Trees Dies

Love this little gift card holder and I’m in the process of making a few. This SDSP is shiny and of course, two-sided. The panel is 4 x 12 scored at 3, 6, & 9 1/8. Burnish gently. On last panel mark 1/2″ from the last score line at the top of the segment; make another 1/2″ mark up from the bottom of the end panel and cut diagonally.

Add Tear n Tape where the white strips are. Cut a panel of Basic White 2 7/8 x 3 7/8, stamp with sentiment (here I used the Brightest Glow stamp set and Cherry Cobbler ink) and adhere to second panel of SDSP (between 2nd & 3rd score lines). Remove Tear n Tape & close.

Cut about 20″ length of ribbon (here I used Real Red from the Real Red & Garden Green combo pack); add Stampin’ Seal to ribbon about 6 1/2 from one end and for about 6″.; add to front panel and to second panel, centering from top to bottom. Now decorate!

Stampin' Up! Shining Christmas SDSP & Merriest Trees Dies

I used the various sections of the Merriest Trees Dies to die cut the layers for the tree in Basic White. I attached each layer with dimensionals and added it over the ribbon – with dimensionals. I used the Silver & Gold Adhesive Backed Glimmer Paper and Merriest Trees Dies to die cut the trim and the star atop the tree and added these ever to easily to the complete the tree. I die cut a banner to add a name with the Tailor Made Tags Dies in Basic White and two circles over the hole in Cherry Cobbler. I colored a length of white twine with Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends and tied it in a bow. This tag was attached with dimensionals. I die cut another tag jst as an illustration of where the gift card or check could be placed in the enclosure. And done!

This could so easily be used as a birthday gift card holder or graduation, or anniversary – just change up the Designer Series Paper and decorating the front panel – and there ya go.

Stampin’ Up! Kraft Note Card as Pop Up Shadow Box

Posted on by

Good Friday morning! Ok, December 1 it is and the countdown begins to Christmas or end of year 2023. I hosted a card class yesterday and we have been making cards with the Kraft Note Card & box set. I shared the box some time ago, but I think not this shadow-box card. Click here to see the box post. We used the Fruitful Blessings bundle (includes coordinating dies), Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder, several Stampin’ Blends, Vellum, Deckled Circles Dies, O Holy Night DSP, Wild Wheat and Old Olive card stock.

Stampin' Up! Kraft Note Card Pop-Up Shadow Box, front

From the front it is not obvious this is a shadow box card. And, I’ve used two note cards adhered together to make this work. For the front, here’s what we did…

  • Stamp the image: acorns w/ leaves & additional acorn using the Fruitful Blessings stamp set & Memento ink on Basic White card stock.
  • Color the acorns with Wild Wheat & Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends. Color the leaves with Stampin’ Blends Old Olive.
  • Die cut a few leaves from Old Olive card stock using the Fruitful Blessings Dies.
  • Die cut a circle from Vellum using the Deckled Circles Dies (these may be found as part of the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES).
  • Die cut stamped images using Fruitful Blessings Dies.
  • Run a panel of Wild Wheat through the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder.

The Kraft Note cards are 7 x 5 scored @ 3 1/2. Score again @ 6 1/2. Take another Kraft Note Card and cut to just shy of 4 x 5 and score @ 1/2 at each long side. Adhere the two note card together so they measure 5 x 10 1/2 and score marks appear @ 3 1/2, 6 1/2, 7 & 10. Adhere Tear n Tape between score mark 10 to end of card @ 10 1/2. Die cut 3rd full panel with the Nested Essentials Dies. (For this card I used the Nested Essentials Dies, but would prefer the Countryside Corners Dies.)

I got too excited aboput putting this together that I didn’t take enough photos!!! But here’s the inside. On the 2nd panel is the O Holy Night DSP cut just slightly less than 3 1/2 x 5. The stamped image is from Fruitful Blessings stamped on Basic White, colored with various Stampin’ Blends and adhered in place. Colors are: Wild Wheat, Light Pumpkin Pie, Light Copper Clay, Dark Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, and Orchid Oasis. After adhering this colored piece in place, remove seal on Tear n Tape, close card so this adheres to the back of the card front. The single acorn die cut & the acorn w/ leaves were done same as the card front. The sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso ink using the Fruitful Blessings stamp set. The finished card will look like this from a top view.

The finished envelope… more of the O Holy Night DSP for the flap and this wonderful leaf image stamped in Old Olive ink from Fruitful Blessings stamp set.

The class LOVED this card. The images are just wonderful and could be used any time of year – fall or spring.

Stampin’ Up! Kraft Note Cards

Posted on by

Good morning! Here we are at the end of another week – whoa, it’s going by so quickly. I’ve had trouble with my computer for too many days now. All of a sudden everything started working again… I am shocked but pleased as punch! Photos are coming through – in other words, being synched to my computer – amazing! I’ll keep my finger crossed :O)

In my most recent card class we have been playing with the Kraft Note Cards which come as a set of 20 note cards & envelopes plus a box that is ready to put together. We have also been using the Abundant Beauty Masks to create the cards and decorate the box. And each persons personality is coming through in their own way. Today I’ll share photos of my box.

Stampin' Up! Kraft Note Card Box w/ Abundant Beauty Masks.1

Stampin' Up! Kraft Noe Cards w/ Abundant Beauty Masks side view with Belly Band
Stampin' Up! Kraft Noe Card Box
Stampin' Up! Kraft Note Card Box Bottom w/ Abundant Beauty Masks

In the first photo you can see the many layers of the Abundant Beauty floral mask. I used five layers, each colored with Blending Brushes & Crushed Curry for an overall color, then Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze and maybe even some Real Red. It’s multi layered just as most flowers are not one solid color. The flower centers are Crushed Curry followed by soft Early Espresso – all using Blending Brushes. The second photo shows that I added Wink of Stella to many of the petals for a bit of bling. To color the larger leaves that are part of the mask, I used Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock for shading the tips of the leaves – of course with Blending Brushes. The additional leaves were stamped in those same two colors and Layering Leaves stamp set and the coordinating Leaves Punch. The bow was made with Copper Ribbon from the Burlap & Ribbon Combo Pack, plus a bit of Linen Thread. It’s adhered with a couple of glue dots.

This floral display sits on two die cuts of Designer Series Papers using the Countryside Corners Dies. The larger panel is die cut from Masterfully Made DSP and the top layer is Winter Meadow DSP. These two were adhered together with dimensionals then attached to the belly band with Tear ‘n Tape. The belly band is 2 1/2″ wide x 12 and is cut from Tartan Foil SDSP in Lost Lagoon.

The box… prior to putting it together, I used the houndstooth mask to completely cover the bottom and sides of the box, keeping the mask going in the same direction. I used post-it tape to hold it in place in each section. The color is Early espresso ink with the Blending Brushes of course and I tried to vary the depth of color.

Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Magic Card

Good Saturday! If you’re a demonstrator, today is a special day – OnStage @Home! We learn all kinds of new tricks & tips PLUS we see the next new catalog – the Jan-April 2024 Catalog & the Sale-a-bration Catalog as well. We’ll work with some of the new products we were able to order as well. :O) It’s going to be a F-U-N day!

OK, my card…

Stampin' Up! Snowflake Magic front

I’ve used a couple of products here on the card front: Three-Color Glimmer Paper in Pretty Peacock (an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE), the Snowflake Magic DSP from the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog, Chic Dies from the Annual Catalog (snowflakes), Christmas Classics Dies (to die cut the banner) and Brightest Glow stamp set for the sentiment. I also added a single Festive Pearl to the two die cut snowflakes on the banner. The snowflakes were die cut from a scrap of the Snowflake Magic DSP and layered with a trimmed down dimensional. The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark ink and sprinkled with Silver Embossing Powder then heat set. It’s so fun to see the embossing powder come to ‘life’ so to speak.

Stampin' Up! Snowflake Magic card, inside

For the inside… on a Basic White panel stamp the sentiment from Brightest Glow stamp set (Annual Catalog) in Pretty Peacock ink. Stamp the two snowflakes in Lost Lagoon ink using the Season of Chic stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Snowflake Magic card & envelope

For the envelope, the same snowflake was stamped on the envelope front in Lost Lagoon ink using the Season of Chic stamp set. The flap got more of the Snowflake Magic DSP adhered & trimmed to fit. Love the simplicity and fun of this card! Hope you do as well.

Stampin’ Up! Artistic Bundle with Garden Walk 6×6 DSP

Posted on by

Good Wednesday – rainy here and c-o-o-l. It will probabbly be a brisk walk today. I’ve had Garden Walk 6×6 DSP on my work table and have been playing. I’m also using the Artistically Inked stamp set & the coordinating Artistic Dies & lots of Basic White

Stampin' Up! Artistic Bundle with Garden Walk 6x6

This is a very feminine card… I love the contrast of the small flowers in the Garden Walk 6×6 DSP and the Artistic Die cut in Basic White. The large flower is so similar in shape as those in the DSP and the leaves the same shape – they just ‘fit’ so well together. And of course, the very feminine Scalloped Contour Dies add a nice touch. The Garden Walk 6×6 DSP are each layered on Pretty Peacock card stock just slightly larger. The sentiment is stamped in Pretty Peacock ink and comes from the Artistically Inked stamp set. The background is Basic White that has been run through the Basics 3D Embossing Folder called Crosshatch. (It is an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE set of 3 embossing folders.) The card base is Thick Basic White card stock.

Stampin' Up! Artistic Bundle with Garden Walk 6x6 DSP, inside

This set of three leaves is part of a die cut from a couple of days ago using the Artistic Dies and cut from Basic White card stock. I simply trimmed it to fit as shown :O). The very narrow strip of DSP is from Garden Walk 6×6 DSP and matches the diagonal stripe on the card front. These are adhered to a Basic White panel which is then added to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Artistic Bundle w/ Garden Walk 6x6 DSP card & envelope

For the envelope, another piece of the Garden Walk 6×6 DSP adhered to the flap and trimmed to fit. On the front is this set of three sweet flowers from Artistically Inked stamp set, stamped in Calypso Coral. The stems and leaves were added with a Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blend.

Stampin’ Up! Watercoloring for the Happy Inkin’ Thursdsay Blog Hop

Posted on by

Welcome to this weeks Blog Hop and a new color challenge! And this was a definite challenge for me. :O) These color combinations were different – and yet, went together.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Blog Color Challenge
Stampin' Up! Watercoloring w/ Autumn Leaves stamp set

I started with a panel of Watercolor Paper, wet it with my Water Painter, then began adding color: Wild Wheat, then Calypso Coral overlapping it somewhat, and Poppy Parade. I dropped water droplets with the Water Painter then heat set it with the Heat Tool. I pulled out the Autumn Leaves stamp set and one of the vein stamps and began stamping, turning the stamp to give an over-all pattern. Again, using the same ink colors and cleaning the stamp in between colors: Wild Wheat, Calypso Coral and Poppy Parade. Before adhering this panel to the Wild Wheat card base, I stamped along the one edge in Wild Wheat ink using a similar vein stamp in the Autumn Leaves stamp set. I then tore the edge of the Watercolor Paper and adhered it to the card base.

Using my scissors and the Textured Ribbon in Wild Wheat, I cut strips to make the ribbon thinner and to give a morre rustic look. I add a length of Black Bakers Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack that I had also separated. I ‘looped’ a bow, attaching it with Stampin’ Seal. ‘Looping’ it means there is no bulky knot :O) I then used a length of Mossy Meadow card stock stamping it in VersaMark ink, sprinkling it with White Embossing Powder and heat set the sentiment with the Heat Tool. The sentiment comes from the Go To Greetings stamp set. I trimmed the one end and attached the banner over the bow with dimensionals.

For the inside… A panel of Mossy Meadow card stock was adhered to the card inside. On a Basic White panel I stamped these two leaves from Autumn Leaves stamp set: stamped off Wild Wheat then sponge daubered with Calypso Coral. The vein was stamped in Wild Wheat.

For the envelope… the very same vein stamp from Autumn Leaves stamp set for the envelope front, stamped off once in Wild Wheat ink.

Stampin’ Up! Shining Christmas Gift Bag

Posted on by
4

Good Tuesday! I finally got out my winter bathrobe today – 55 degrees this morning. Chilly. As you know I have been making Christmas cards for a bit. Today is not a card but a cute gift bag and yes, for Christmas. This bag uses the Shining Christmas 12×12 SDSP, one of the Special Release Designer Series Papers in the SU! ONLINE EXCLUSIVES (only available while supplies last!)

Stampin' Up! Shining Christmas Gift Bag

I used another new product on this card to create a portion of the tag… the Sparkling Snowflakes Tag Topper. It’s a punch and you can see it here in Cherry Cobbler card stock. The cute little trees come from the Wishes All Around stamp set and are stamped in Mossy Meadow ink. I used Festive Pearls in Cherry Cobbler to top them. The sentiment is on a Basic White piece stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink and uses the Wishes All Around stamp set. The tag layers are Mossy Meadow, Cherry Cobbler and Basic White and are adhered with liquid glue to the gift box. But I get ahead of myself.

Let’s make the bag!

  • Shining Christmas SDSP cut 6 x 12
    • score on the long side 1 1/2, 5 3/4, 7 1/4 and 11 1/2
    • score on the short side 1 1/2 and 5 1/2
  • Burnish gently
  • On the long sides, cut along score lines to the short side score lines
  • add tape to the 11 1/2 scored area

I should have taken more pictures! This is NOT going to make sense without more instruction… I’ll do this again with complete photos. Ugh. Enjoy the looks of the bag and I’ll create another with more complete instructions. It will be next week though – just FYI.

Bag is tied together with Metallic Woven Ribbon in Parakeet Party. I love the added sparkle and it blends perfectly with the Mossy Meadow. This is a side view of the bag, so you can see it is not super wide, but it does have about a 1 1/2″ base, so perfect for a pair of sox or something similar.

Stampin’ Up! Wishes All Around Bundle

Posted on by

Good Sunday morning! It’s chilly again… and I’m enjoying the cooler weather. Today’s card is quick and easy and a Christmas card! It uses the Wishes All Around bundle as well as an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE Special Release DSP called Shining Christmas 12×12 SDSP. It’s beautiful. Take a peek.

Stampin' Up! Wishes All Around C'mas card

The card base is Mossy Meadow cut 7 x 5 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4. Next are layers of Cherry Cobbler: 2 5/8 x 5 3/8 (top front) and 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 for the inside. The Shining Christmas 12×12 SDSP is cut 2 1/2 x 5 1/4 (top front) and 1 3/4 x 5 1/4 for the bottom inside. Stamp a Basic White panel (2 1/4 x 5 1/4) in Cherry Cobbler ink for the sentiment and Mossy Meadow ink for the berry sprig. Both of these use the Wishes All Around stamp set. I also stamped a punched a 2 1/4″ circle from Basic White and stamped it in the center in Cherry Cobbler ink using the Wishes All Around stamp set again. Set this circle aside for now.

Now for the fun part of decorating. I die cut two wreaths – one from Mossy Meadow card stock and one from Old Olive card stock, using the Wishes All Around Dies. I adhered these two together, off-setting them a bit. I adhered these to the stamped circle, then to the top portion of the card. I used pulled threads from the Threaded Twine to make a bow & attached it with a glue dot. Festive Pearls in Cherry Cobbler were added in groups of three. Bingo – the card is complete!

The envelope got another berry sprig on the front, stamped in Mossy Meadow ink using the Wishes All Around stamp set. The envelope flap, a piece of the Shining Christmas 12×12 SDSP adhered and trimmed to fit. Such a festive card!

Stampin’ Up! All About Autumn Thinking of You

Posted on by

Good Saturday morning. It’s brisk here today at 54 degrees. Just say… lovin’ it! What good sleeping weather :O) My card today uses the awesome All About Autumn SDSP cut into strips to follow the scene. (Goodness! As I’m looking at this, I have the DSP in the wrong order and didn’t notice until just now!!)The sentiment comes from the Wonderful Words stamp set and Wonderful Words Dies. I wanted this card simple, to reflect the struggle of the moment the folks are going through – those who will receive this card. Copper Clay card stock was the perfect background paper on which to adhere the All About Autumn SDSP. Together, these were adhered to Early Espresso card base with dimensionals. As you can see, the sentiment is also on dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso ink on Very Vanilla. Embellishments were the Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots in Copper Clay.

For the inside… the sentiment is stamped using Quiet Moments stamp set and Early Espresso ink on a Very Vanilla panel. This was added to another Copper Clay piece and both adhered to the inside of the card.

For the Very Vanilla envelope, another sentiment from Quiet Moments stamp set stamped in Early Espresso ink. The flap got a reverse side of one of the wonderful All About Autumn SDSP trimmed to fit.

This wonderful SDSP is one of the Designer Series Papers in the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog. It just may be out of stock right now, but should be available soon. This is just such gorgeous papers, you want to be sure to have some to use.
