STORYBOOK MOMENTS THANKS

Today’s card features the Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper along with some wonderful stamps that include Sentiment Park Stamps and Everyday Greetings Stamps along with the Unbounded Love Dies.

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Boho Blue cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I cut a piece of the Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper (I love this strawberry paper) to 2 x 5 ½” and before I adhered it I took two strips of Real Red cardstock that measures ½ x 5 ½” and added one piece to each side from the back leaving a reveal of about ¼” (I could have mounted it on a piece that is 2 ¼ x 5 ½” but that always seems like a waste to me in these situations).  Once that was all together, I added it to the left side of my card base over about ¼” from the fold.  Then I die cut two of the labels with the leaves from the Unbounded Love Dies (one in Basic White and one in Old Olive) you will need pieces that measure about 1 ¾ x 3 ½”.  I used the center white piece to stamp my sentiment “thanks” from the Everyday Greetings Stamp Set in Real Red Ink.  Then I adhered that to my card and took the Old Olive piece and fit it around the thanks and adhered it.  To finish off the front I added a square knot bow made from Cherry Cobbler and Gold Ribbon adhered with a Mini Glue Dot and three of the Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels. 

 

For the inside of my card, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped the floral image shown from the Sentimental Park Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  To color my image, I used Colored Pencils (I used the Water Color Pencils Assortment 1 pack), these are a great way to get started coloring without having to invest a ton into markers.  I always use a Blender Pen to get the pencil lines to all fade into one nice color. 

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:

MIXED MEDIA FLORALS HELLO

Today’s card features the Mixed Media Florals Designer Series Paper.  I did throw in some other products that have been around for a while to show how you can use a new paper with products you already have on hand for a great card.

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Garden Green cardstock cut to 4 ¼ x 11” and scored at 5 ½”.  I cut a 4 x 5 ¼” mat out of Peach Pie cardstock and embossed it with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder and added it to my card base.  I cut a piece of the Mixed Media Florals DSP to 3 x 4” and mounted it onto a piece of Garden Green cardstock that was 3 ¼ x 4 ¼”.  Before adding this to my card I wrapped a piece of Peach Pie Bordered Ribbon around it and adhered it to the back with Tear & Tape.  I popped this piece up on Dimensionals right in the center of the card.  I stamped the sentiment “Hello” from the Everyday Greetings Stamp set onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Peach Pie Ink, then I die cut it using one of the dies from the Nested Essentials Dies.  I used Mini Dimensionals to add this to the front of my card being sure to put them on the edges so they would stick to the paper and not the ribbon so it sticks well.  I made a square knot bow from the same ribbon and added it with a Mini Glue Dot.

 

For the inside I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped the leaves from the Layering Leaves Stamp Set with Garden Green Ink.  I added little I am not sure what to call them but I will say little star things that are from the Delightful Wishes Stamp set all around it in Peach Pie Ink.

THE GIFT OF FRIENDSHIP

Today’s card features the Seaside Wishes Bundle and the Country Woods Designer Series Paper.  I love how these two products work together.  I also love how the Seaside Wishes Bundle comes with that great hybrid 3D embossing folder that embosses and die cuts the sand dollars at the same time. 

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Basic Beige cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  Then I cut a piece of the Country Woods Designer Series Paper to 3 x 5 ½” but before adding it to my card base, I added strips of Crumb Cake cardstock to each side.  I cut it about ½” wide and then just added it to the back of the DSP keeping about ¼” showing.  With that done I adhered it to my card front.  Next, I took a piece of Basic Beige that measured 4 ¼ x 5” and added it to the embossing folder with the dies so I could get the three sand dollars embossed and cut.  I used a Blending Brush and some Crumb Cake Ink and lightly inked the sand dollars to make the detail pop a little more.  I took the middle size one and set it aside for the inside.  Then I took a scrap of Basic White cardstock and die cut one of the images from the bundle.  I added the largest of the sand dollars to the right side of the card near the top edge of the DSP using Dimensionals.  I added the white shell adhering it directly to the large sand dollar.  Then I added the smallest sand dollar to the bottom left edge of the large sand dollar using Dimensionals where it did not overlap and adhesive where it did. 

For my sentiment I used the label die from the Enduring Beauty Dies to die cut it out of Basic Beige cardstock.  I added the sentiment “your friendship is the best gift” from the Seaside Wishes stamp set onto it using Early Expresso Ink.  I cut a piece of Basic Beige Ribbon to about 7” and made a loop and attached it to the back of the label with a piece of Tear & Tape.  Then I added the sentiment and ribbon to the front of the card. 

For the inside I added a piece of Basic White cardstock that measured 4 x 5 ¼” and that middle-sized sand dollar.

HIBISCUS THANK YOU

Today’s card features the Happy Hibiscus Bundle.  I wanted to play around with some colors you don’t often see paired.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Lost Lagoon cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and used the Hybrid 3D Embossing folder from the bundle to emboss it, once it was embossed, I added it to my card base.  Next, I started to cut out my pieces, I cut out four of the leaves from the bundle, 2 from Lost Lagoon cardstock and 2 from Pretty Peacock cardstock.  Then I used the Bough Punch and punched out 2 of the bigger branches of leaves from Pretty Peacock cardstock and 2 of the little flower ones from Bubble Bath cardstock.  Now it was time for the main focal point.  I took a piece of Bubble Bath cardstock that measured 3 x 4” and laid it along with the coordinating die in the Hybrid Embossing Folder being sure to get all three of the flowers lined up to emboss and cut.  This folder and die are such a great idea, emboss and cut at the same time!  Once those were cut out, I used a Blending Brush and some Bubble Bath Ink to add just a little color to each of the flowers.  I did use Wink of Stella to add to the center of the larger two flowers. 

With everything cut I simply started laying things out to space them the way I wanted (reserve the middle size flower for the inside of the card).  Once that was all figured out, I started to adhere things.  I began with the two branches I punched and used my bone folder to curl them on the ends just a little before adhering the bottoms directly to the card.  Then I did the same thing with the little Bubble Bath flowers that were punched and added them.  I gave each of the leaves a little movement using that bone folder technique before adhering them.  Finally, I added my flowers using Dimensionals.

For my sentiment I die cut the circle from the bundle out of Bubble Bath cardstock and stamped the sentiment “Thanks for Being So Kind” from the bundle onto it with Pretty Peacock Ink.  I added that at the right bottom.  For the final embellishments I added three of the Adhesive-Backed Pearl Trio embellishments and a bow created from the Lost Lagoon Soft Cording (this was attached with a Mini Glue Dot.

For the inside of the card, I used the second largest flower and adhered it to a piece of Basic White cardstock that measured 4 x 5 ¼”.
