SENDING LOVE

Today’s card features the new Regal Flora bundle and the beautiful Regal Winter Designer Series Paper.  I love the color palate in this paper, those rich colors like, Berry Burst, Blackberry Bliss, Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy, Pretty Peacock, Shaded Spruce and the one surprise, Wild Wheat.  This paper is so rich it can stand all alone on a card as the focal point so that is what this card was intended to show.

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Highland Heather cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I added a layer of Night of Navy that measured 4 x 5 ¼” and then a layer of that beautiful Regal Winter DSP that measures 3 ¾ x 5” (I picked one that shows off night of navy and highland heather).  That pretty much made my card.

To finish the card off I stamped the sentiment “wishing I WERE THERE TO GIVE YOU A hug” onto a scrap of Highland Heather cardstock with Night of Navy ink and then I die cut that using the die from the Regal Flora bundle (I love this cute sentiment label die) and I looped a piece of Iridescent Striped Trim Ribbon behind it and attached the whole thing to the center front of the card using Dimensionals.

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:

MORE FLOATING CARDS

Today I wanted to share some more floating cards.  You can check out my blog from Wednesday, October 9th for all the measurements and instructions.  There are just some additional cards I made using this technique that I wanted to share with you.

Here is what I came up with…

Card #1 has a Granny Apple Green card base; the second layer is Pretty Peacock and again it uses the Thoughtful Journey DSP.  The sentiment is from the Layering Leaves stamp set and is stamped in Pretty Peacock and cut out using one of the Spotlight on Nature Dies.  

Product List

 

Card #2 has a Highland Heather card base; the second layer is Night of Navy and again it uses one of the pieces of DSP from the Thoughtful Journey pack.  The sentiment us from the Country Birdhouse stamp set and was stamped in Night of Navy on a scrap of the DSP left over from cutting out the panels.  I added three of the Regal Foiled Adhesive-Backed Dots that are Night of Navy.

Product List

 

Card #3 has a Calypso Coral card base; the second layer is Lost Lagoon and once again I used the Thoughtful Journey DSP.  The sentiment is from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set and was stamped in Lost Lagoon and die cut using the Spotlight on Nature Dies.

FLOATING THANKS

Today’s card features the Thoughtful Wishes Stamp Set and the coordinating Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper.  I also used one of the dies from the Spotlight on Nature die set, I just love how versatile these dies are. 

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Granny Apple Green cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I then cut a piece of the Thoughtful Journey DSP into a 3 ½” square.  Once that was cut I started on the left side and cut it into strips, the first strip was cut at ½”, the next at ¾”, the next at 1” which left the final strip which was 1 ¼” (keep your strips in order for easier placement later).  Once that was all cut, I cut a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock to 3 x 4 ¼”.  Once I had that pretty peacock piece cut, I laid it with the 4 ¼” side going landscape and began adding my strips.  These are arranged with equal distance between each of them and on each end.

 (NOTE: here is a tip I figured out that really helps with the placement, I used repositionable tape which I bought at staples and added just a tiny bit to each strip.  This allowed me to reposition them until I had them all where I wanted them but it kept them all in place.  Once I had them positioned, I removed one at a time and added my adhesive)

Once I had my strips all on, I used Dimensionals and popped the whole thing up on the center of the card.  I stamped my sentiment “Thanks” onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Pretty Peacock Ink and then die cut it with one of the circles from the Spotlight on Nature die set.  I added that directly to the front of the card. 

For the inside I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped one of the floral images from the Thoughtful Wishes Stamp set onto it again with Pretty Peacock Ink.  I added some interest to that buy quickly adding Wink of Stella to it so that it picked up a little of the ink color and put it throughout the image.

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:

AUTUMN IS UPON US

Today’s card features the Autumn Leaves Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies.  The products I chose to use today are not new products but instead some of my favorites from my supplies.  I wanted to create a nice card that combined simple techniques for my World Card Making event since I had some new stampers/cardmakers in the group.

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Early Espresso cardstock cut to 4 ¼ x 11” and scored at 5 ½”.  I added a layer of Pretty Peacock cardstock that measured 4 x 5 ¼” that I had embossed using the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder.  Next I stamped my sentiment “Autumn  TEACHES US THAT CHANGE CAN BE Beautiful” from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock and die cut it using one of the dies from the Autumn Leaves Dies.  I added that towards the bottom right of my card and popped it up using Dimensionals.  Next, I die cut two of the leaves from the die set out of the Oxidized Copper 12 x 12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (one in the copper color and one in the pretty peacock color).  I tucked the copper one in behind the sentiment on the upper left and I used a Dimensional to add the pretty peacock one to the right of that.

To finish off my card I added a double bow made from Linen Thread and three of the copper-colored sequins from the Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins.  For the inside of the card I cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and added another of the leaves this time a different style leaf that was also cut from the copper-colored DSP.
