BEAUTIFUL MOTIFS IN BLACKBERRY BLISS AND BUBBLE BATH

Today’s card features the Beautiful Motifs Dies and the Damask Designs Embossing Folder.  I saw a card on Pinterest that was created by Laura Seki and I decided to give it a whirl.  I changed the colors a little and added some blending and I was very happy with the result.

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Basic White cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.   I cut a strip of Blackberry Bliss cardstock to 1 ¾ x 5 ½” and embossed it using the Damask Designs Embossing Folder.  I took a Sponge Dauber and some Craft Stampin Ink and added just a little of the white ink to the raised embossed damask images (I really like the look).  I added this to the left side of the front of my card base.  Next, I cut a piece of Bubble Bath cardstock to 3 ¼ x 4 ½” and being careful not to place the die close to the edges I die cut one of the floral images from the die set out of the center and set it aside to use later.  Then I cut a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock to 3 x 4 ¼” and again being careful to stay away from the edge that would be seen I die cut one more of the floral images out of the center and set them aside to use later. 

I often die cut things out of the center of cardstock that I am going to be layering.  You can’t see the cuts and it is a cost-effective way to get more out of your cardstock.  Next, I cut a piece of Basic White to 2 ¾ x 4” and I die cut the leaf image (this image does not cut completely out) across the piece.  I then used a Sponge Dauber and some Bubble Bath Ink and I just sponged a little ink on and around the cut image to add some interest.  I also lifted some of the leaves up just a little.  With all three of these layers cut I went ahead and attached them to one another and then attached that panel to the card base using Dimensionals. 

I added one each of the floral pieces I had cut from the Bubble Bath and Blackberry Bliss layers to the front of the panel.  For embellishments I chose to add three of the Loose Frosted Dots and since I didn’t have the right color of twine (I wanted Bubble Bath) I simply took a piece of the white twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack and colored it with my Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends Marker (I used the dark). 

I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and more on my website at https://www.stampinup.com?demoid=2206796 or by clicking the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.  Be sure to follow me at:

HEARTFELT PRAYERS

Today’s card once again features the Peace on Earth Bundle along with the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper and the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder.  As you can tell I am really enjoying all the components of this collection.  I decided to make a card that was all about blue and white and here is what I came up with…

The card base is Misty Moonlight cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I then cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and embossed it with the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder before attaching it to the base.  Next, I cut the largest of the labels in the bundle out of a scrap of Misty Moonlight cardstock and the smaller of the two out of Basic White cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment “Heartfelt Prayers” onto the white label using Misty Moonlight Ink.  I attached the white label to the misty moonlight label and then attached both to the center of the card using Dimensionals.  I added two of the doves, one large and one smaller to the front of the card and at the corners of the sentiment using Dimensionals.   (I had cut them out of a piece of the blue glimmer paper from the Peaceful Garden Glimmer paper that measured 4 x 5 ¼”.  I stayed ¼” away from the edge so I could use the glimmer paper I cut things out of for layer on another card.  I got 3 small and 2 large doves out of it)

For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and attached one of the smaller glimmer doves to it.  This was yet another fast and easy card to create.

PEACE, LOVE & JOY

Today’s card features the Peace on Earth Bundle, the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper and the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper.  I am just in love with this whole collection.  The colors are great and it is really fun to work with.  I have been playing around with it creating as many different types of cards as I can.

Here is what I came up with today…

The card base is Secret Sea cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I cut a piece of the blue colored Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper to 4 x 5 ¼” for a layer (Note: I hate to waste beautiful paper so when I am using something like glimmer paper for a layer I die cut out as many images as I can from the center where it will be covered.  In this case I die cut the large foliage piece from the bundle for the inside and two doves that I will be using on my next card before attaching it to my card base.  Next, I cut a piece of the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper to 3 ¾ x 5” and added it to the glimmer layer (I love this paper with the doves on it).  I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to ½ x 3 ¾” and stamped the sentiment “PEACE, LOVE & JOY” on it with Secret Sea Ink (I stamped near the left edge so I could create a flag and add an embellishment) and then just cut a little flag over on the right side.  I attached my sentiment to the center of the card with Dimensionals.  For a final touch I added one of the embellishments from the Opal Rounds Assortment. 

For the inside I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 1/4” and attached the glimmer foliage I had previously cut out of the first layer on the front of the card.  This was a fast and simple card so it is a great one if you need to create a bunch of them. 

I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and more on my website at https://www.stampinup.com?demoid=2206796 or by clicking the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.  Be sure to follow me at:

BIG HUGS

Today’s card features the new Peace on Earth Bundle and Peaceful Gardens Designer Series Paper.  I love this set which is featured in the September – December Mini Catalog.  It is always fun when you take a set that feels like it was created for Christmas but you find lots of new ways to use it, which is what I am setting out to do.  I found a card created by Kim McGillis from the Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team and used it as my inspiration for this card.

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Secret Sea cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I then cut piece of Cloud Cover cardstock to 2 5/8 x 4” and embossed it with the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder and I cut a piece of the Designer Series Paper also at 2 5/8 x 4”.  I attached these two pieces together with just a little tape to make them 4 x 5 ¼” and wrapped a piece of white ribbon (from my retired stash) around the seam of the two pieces (or you could use the coordinating Misty Moonlight Silver Edged Ribbon for this) and attached that to the card base.  Using the coordinating Dies I die cut the large label and two of the doves and one envelope out of Basic White cardstock.  I stamped the label with the sentiment “Big hugs for a good friend” from the stamp set in the bundle with Secret Sea Ink and attached it to the center of the card using Dimensionals.  For the doves I used a little Pecan Pie Ink and a Blender Pen to create the beak and .4mm Journaling Pen (for some reason I can't put a link in for it below but the item number is 166647) to create the eyes.  I attached these to the card using Dimensionals also.  I added one of the olive branches from the die set cut out of Cloud Cover cardstock to one dove and the envelope I die cut out of Basic White to the other dove. 

For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and added a little strip of the Designer Series Paper that measured ½ x 4”.

SIMPLE SYMPATHY

Today’s card features the new Peace on Earth Stamp Set and Peaceful Gardens Designer Series Paper (DSP).  I wanted to create a card that used this suite of products for something other than a Christmas card and when I saw a card created by Heidi Collins on Pinterest I decided I would change it a little and make it my own.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Cloud Cover cardstock cut to 4 ¼ x 11” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I then added a layer of the Peaceful Gardens DSP that measured 4 x 5 ¼”.  Next, I cut a piece of Cloud Cover cardstock to 2 5/8 x 4 5/8” and added a piece of another of pieces of DSP from the pack that measured 2 ½ x 4 ¼” to the top of it.  I adhered this piece to the center of my card.  Then I moved onto my flag piece, the key to getting the flag portion of this piece cut evenly is to cut the flag out of both the cardstock and the DSP at the same time.  The Cloud Cover cardstock measures 1 5/8 x 3 7/8” and the third DSP I introduced here measures 1 ½ x 3 ¾”.  Once they were cut, I added the flag to the left side about ¼” in from layer two. 

Now it was time for the sentiment.  I stamped the sentiment “With Deepest Sympathy” from the Peace on Earth Stamp Set using Secret Sea Ink onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock and then punched that out with the 1 ¾” Circle Punch.  I layered that onto a 2” circle I created from a scrap of Cloud Cover cardstock and the 2” Circle Punch.  Once layered these circles were added to the card with Dimensionals.  

For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and added a little scrap piece of the DSP that measured ½ x 4”. 

I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and more on my website at https://www.stampinup.com?demoid=2206796 or by clicking the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.  Be sure to follow me at:
