A VINTAGE LOOK

Today’s card features the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper.  I love all the wonderful designs in this paper but this scene just reminded me of that great vintage look.  I used the Beautiful Motifs Stamp set along with the Layers of Beauty Dies to create this card. 

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”.  I then cut a piece of the Designer Series Paper to 3 ¾ x 3 ¾” and then cut that piece down to 3 strips that measured 1 ¼ x 3 ¾”.  I mounted these pieces onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock that measured 3 x 5”.  Once I was done mounting the DSP I added they layer of it and the Basic Black to my card base using Dimensionals.  I stamped the sentiment “HELLO” from the Beautiful Motifs Stamp Set onto a scrap of Basic Beige cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and die cut it with the little tag die from the Layers of Beauty Dies and then attached it to the upper right corner with Dimensionals.  I added a bow made from the black twine in the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack and attached it to the tag with a Mini Glue Dot.

I loved the simplicity of this card and it could be used for so many different occasions by simply changing out the sentiment.  The overall layout is great for DSP that features scenes on it.  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:

DEAR FRIEND

Today’s card features three of this years new In-Colors, Timid Tiger, Cloud Cover and Secret Sea along with the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper.  I am seeing more and more cards being created with ripped cardstock so I decided to give it a whirl, here is what I came up with…

The card base is Timid Tiger cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I cut a piece of Secret Sea cardstock to 4 x 5 ½” and then I tore it vertically.  There is a trick to tearing, if you want to see more of the tear then tear towards you.  I added this to my card base.  Next, I cut a piece of Cloud Cover cardstock to 2 ¾ x 5 ½” and added that to the Secret Sea.  For my Designer Series Paper I started by cutting the 6 x 6” paper down to a piece that was 2 ½” wide and then cut three pieces from that at 1 ¾” (keep them in order and your design will be fluid on your card) and added them by placing the first and third pieces right to the top and bottom edge while keeping the sides equally spaced.  With that all done it was easy to place the center piece evenly.  Finally, I cut a scrap of the Cloud Cover cardstock to 5/8 x 2 1/8” and stamped it with the sentiment “dear friend” from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set (remember what I always say, if you don't have this set you can use a sentiment from any set you own and love just change the size of the sentiment layering accordingly) in Secret Sea Ink and added it to the front of my card popping it up with Dimensionals.

SUNRISE SAILING MEETS BEAUTIFUL GALLERY

 Today’s card features the Sunrise Sailing Dies (the dies are included with the awesome hybrid embossing folder) that are an Online Exclusive and the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalog.  While these two products were not created to be used together as soon as I saw this paper in the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper Pack I knew it would be great with the Sunrise Sailing.  Then I saw an easel card on Pinterest that Mikaela Titheridge created using these products and even though I didn’t want to create an easel card I knew I could adapt the design element to create a regular card. 

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Secret Sea cardstock cut to 4 ¼ x 11” and scored at 5 ½”.  Next, I set out to cut up my Designer Series Paper (DSP) just the way I would need to use it.  I took the 6 x 6” DSP and cut it first to 2 x 6” then I cut that piece down to 2 x 3 ¼”.  I used the back side of the scrap left from this cut to die cut the boats hull and mast (the back side looks like wood grain).  I cut the remaining 4 x 6” piece of DSP to 4 x 5 ¼” this is for the front of the card.  The remaining ¾ x 4” strip is saved for the inside of the card. 

With the DSP all cut it was time to cut my cardstock.  I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 2 ¼ x 3 ½” and a piece of Secret Sea cardstock to 2 ½ x 3 ¾”.  I layered my 2 x 3 ¼” piece of DSP onto the Basic White and then layered that onto the Secret Sea.  With everything layered I grabbed my card base and popped the layered pieces onto the center of it using Dimensionals.  I die cut the sails for the boat out of a scrap of Basic Beige and then attached them to the mast of the boat that I previously cut out of the DSP and attached the boat to the front of the card.  I used a small scrap of Basic Gray to die cut three sea birds to add to the card as well.

For the inside I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 4 ¼” and added my strip of the DSP that measured ¾ x 4” to it.  Did you notice something?  No stamping on this card!  I decided not to add a sentiment but to have this card on hand when I needed a masculine card, whether it be a birthday, retirement or just thinking of you card.  Quick and easy to create and it uses minimal products.

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:

THE PEARFECT FRIEND CARD

Today’s card features the Perfectly Pears Bundle and the Painterly Pairs Designer Series paper.  I am loving this product line, did you know you can cut out pears and flowers from one of the sheets of Designer Series Paper with the dies in the bundle?  The colors are bright and fun to work with and there are just so many possiblities.  I saw a card that Mary Knabe had designed and loved the color combination so here is my take on that.

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Secret Sea cardstock cut to 3 ¼ x 11” and scored at 5 ½”.  I then cut a piece of the beautiful Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper (watch the direction if you want a horizonal card) to 2 x 5 ½” and mounted that onto a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock that measured 2 ½ x 5 ½”.  Once that was complete, I wrapped a piece of the gorgeous Mossy Meadow and Gold Ribbon that is part of this suite of products around that and then attached it to the front of my card.  I created a bow with that same ribbon and added it to my card using Mini Glue Dots.  I grabbed a piece of scrap Granny Apple Green cardstock and stamped the sentiment “A good friend is a gift” (now isn’t that the truth) onto it using Secret Sea Ink.  I used one of the stitched rectangle dies from the Textured Notes Dies to cut it out.  I added it to the front of my card using Dimensionals.  To finish off the card I added three of the Low-Profile Sparkle Dots.

For the inside of the card, I simply cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼”.  I added one of the small pear bunches that I die cut from the Designer Series Paper using the coordinating die from the bundle.  (NOTE:  I used one of the pear bunches that was right on the side of the paper so it was not a full image.  I just added it to the edge of my white cardstock and it looked like it was done on purpose and it was a great way to get the most out of my DSP.)

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:

PERFECTLY PEARS QUADRUPLE Z FOLD

Today’s card features the Perfectly Pairs Bundle and the Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper.  I saw a post where Susan Campfield created several of these Horizontal Quadruple Z Fold cards and I knew I wanted to learn how to make one.  It was not as hard as I initially thought it would be and I had a lot of fun figuring it out.

Here is what I came up with…

 

The card base is Mossy Meadow cardstock that measures 4,1’4 x 9”, scored at 1 ¾ and 3 ½”.  I also cut 4 strips of Mossy Meadow cardstock to 9 x ¾” and scored them at 1 ¾ and 3 ½”.  I folded the card base into a mountain fold at the 1 ¾” score line and into a valley fold at the 3 ½” score line.  The strips are valley folded at the 1 ¾” score line and mountain folded at the 3 ½” score line.  Attach the strips with the longest portion attached to the left flap of the base card and then the smallest portion attached to the right of the card base.  Each is attached equidistant from the other (I found that if I used just a little seal, I could line them up and move them around until they were right and then glue them permanently into place).  Start with adding the strips for the top and bottom aligning evenly with the base and then work the other two strips in until they are all evenly spaced.  This finishes the base for the card.

To decorate the card, I cut my Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper.  I cut the first piece of DSP to 1 ½ x 4” (be sure to watch the direction of the design).  This attaches to the far-left side.  Then I cut a piece of the DSP to 3 ½ x 2” (again be sure your design in running up and down on the 2” side) and then cut that piece into 4 pieces that measured ½ x 3 ½”.  I attached these pieces to my strips making sure to keep them in order so the design was consistent (this is not absolutely necessary it is just how I prefer to do this part).  For the right side of the card, I cut 4 pieces of Darling Duckling cardstock to ½ x 1 ½” and one piece to 1 ¼ x 4”, I used the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder to emboss all five of these pieces before adhering them.  I added the one large piece to the far right of the card and then the 4 small pieces to the strips on that end.

To finish off the card I stamped the cute little pears from the Perfectly Pairs bundle onto Basic White cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and then stamped the inside of the pears with Darling Duckling Ink.  For the stems and leaves I used Old Olive Stampin’ Blends to color them in.  Once I had my little pears all colored, I die cut them with the coordinating die from the bundle.  Then I cut the third largest of the stitched circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies out of Darling Duckling.  I added the circle to the front of my card using Dimensionals and then added the little pears I stamped and die cut to it again with Dimensionals.  I stamped the sentiment “Hello” also from the bundle onto a scrap of Basic White with Mossy Meadow Ink and die cut it with one of the dies from the bundle.  I added it to my circle again with Dimensionals.  To finish off the card I added three of the Low-Profile Sparkle Dots.

For the back of the card, I also cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped and colored the same small pear image I used on the front of the card to the corner of it for the back of my card so I could write my message there.
