DELIGHTFUL WISHES BIRTHDAY

Today’s card features the Delightful Wishes Bundle and Floral Delights Designer Series Paper from the January – April Mini Catalog.  I also used the Happy Hibiscus Dies (love how well those leaves from this set coordinate with the DSP).  I wanted to showcase the Starstruck Embossing Folder which is a free gift with qualifying purchase during Sale-A-Bration, don’t forget Sale-A-Bration is ending on February 28^th so get those qualifying orders in and earn free products.  I am pretty happy with the results, here is what I came up with…

The card base is Balmy Blue cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I added a layer of Daffodil Delight cardstock that measured 4 1/8 x 5 3/8” (but before adhering it to the card base I die cut three flower centers out of the center of it, one large and two small from the Delightful Wishes dies, this is a great way to save paper as no one will see the inside of this layer just a 1/8” border of it).  On top of that I added a piece of the Floral Delights Designer Series Paper that measured 4 x 5 ¼”.  I cut a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock to 2 x 4 ¾” and embossed it with the Starstruck Embossing Folder (that was a free product I earned with a $60 order) and adhered it about ¼” from the right side and 1” from the bottom of the card base.

Now to decorate.  I die cut one large and one small flower from the bundle out of Lemon Lolly cardstock and one small flower out of Basic White cardstock.  I added the centers I had previously cut out from my Daffodil Delight layer.  I then die cut two of the leaves from the Happy Hibiscus Embossing Folder and Dies, this set includes both the Embossing Folder and coordinating dies (any leaves including the one in the bundle would be fine I just liked how these looked with the DSP).  I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to ½ x 3 ¾” and stamped the sentiment “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” from the Something Fancy Stamps (we all have those sentiments we love so use what you have and adjust your paper to it) onto the right end of it using Daffodil Delight Ink.  I wanted a bow of the Daffodil Delight 1/8” Satin Ribbon that is included in this collection so I put some adhesive on the back of my sentiment and attached the ribbon to the back.  I went ahead and attached that using Mini Dimensionals.

To finish off the front of my card I added my largest flower using Mini Dimensionals, then one small one adhered directly to the card and the second popped up with a Dimensional.  I added the two leaves, one with Mini Dimensionals and the other adhered directly to the card.  To finish off the card I added three of the Glossy Dots Assortment (I picked the Daffodil Delight Dots). 

For the inside of the card, I simply cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and using one of the flower stamps from the bundle I stamped the detailed stamp with Daffodil Delight Ink down in the bottom corner.  Then I took the full stamp and inked it with Daffodil Delight Ink and stamped that off once before stamping over the detailed 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:

HEART SHAPED ANNIVERSARY

Today’s card features the Heart Shaped Bundle which is a freebie offered with qualifying purchases during this years Sale-A-Bration.  I decided not to go for the classic Valentine’s Day card with this set but instead a nice Anniversary card. 

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Cherry Cobbler cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 7” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I cut a piece of Gold Foil to 2 5/8 x 5 3/8” and added it to the left front of my card.  To that I added a piece of the Regal Distressed Patterns Specialty Designer Series Paper (I chose the Basic White and Gold sheet) that measured 2 1/3 x 5 ¼”. 

I then cut a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock to 3 x 3” and centered it vertically but a little to the right of the front of my card and adhered down just the left side so the card would open properly.  I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 2 7/8 x 2 7/8” and using the heart shaped stamp from the bundle I stamped it into the center of the Basic White piece using Cherry Cobbler Ink.  Next, I grabbed a scrap of Gold Foil (about a 3” square) and die cut the coordinating heart using the die in the bundle along with two of the leaves (save this for the inside) and added it on top of the stamped heart image.  I added this to the center of my 3 x 3” piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock.  To finish off the front of the card I simply tied a bow using about 7” of the Cherry Cobbler and Gold Satin Ribbon and attached it with a Mini Glue Dot on my heart.

For the inside of the card I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and using the sentiment stamp “Happy Anniversary” from the Layers of Beauty Stamp Set I stamped the sentiment in the very center of the inside layer (so the outside layer covers it).  For the leaves I closed my card and positioned the leaves so they look as though they are coming out of the center square of the card front. 

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:

HOPPY EASTER

Today’s card features the adorable Storybook Friends Bundle and Timeless Plaid 6 x 6” Designer Series Paper.  I fell in love with this bundle as soon as I set eyes on it.  It takes me back to my childhood and Beatrix Potters amazing stories.  All the animals in the set are beyond adorable.  I knew I wanted to create an Easter card using this set and I thought that one of the frames from the bundle was just what I needed.  

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Calypso Coral cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I created a layer for the card by cutting a piece of Wild Wheat cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and embossing it with the Eyelets 3D Embossing Folder.  Then I added a strip of the beautiful Timeless Plaid DSP (I liked the colors of this piece) that was 2 x 5 ¼” about a ½” from the right side of the card.  Next I die cut my frame from Basic Beige cardstock (note:  keep the center it is just the right size to cut the label for the sentiment) and added it to my card.  

Next, I stamped my cute little bunny from the Storybook Friends Bundle onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I used Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, Old Olive and Bubble Bath Stampin’ Write Markers to color my bunny.  The way I did this was to scribble some of the color onto an acrylic block and then I used a Blender Pen to pick up that color and color in my bunny.  I like this soft watercolor look and it is easy enough for anyone to try.  Once my bunny was done, I used the coordinating die from the bundle to cut hm out.  I added him to the inside of my frame a little to the right to leave room for my sentiment label popping him up with Dimensionals. 

I stamped the sentiment “EASTER GREETINGS” from the bundle in Calypso Coral Ink onto the scrap left over from the inside of my frame and then I die cut it using one of the dies from the Greetings of the Seasons Dies (love these tag dies).  I added that to the front of my card using Dimensionals.  To finish off my card I made a bow from twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack and added it to my sentiment using a Mini Glue Dot.  The final addition to the front of the card was one medium and two small Gold Textured Adhesive Backed Dots.  

For the inside I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped a little bunny from the bundle on it with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I colored him in with those same Stampin’ Write Markers I used on the first bunny.

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:

A PLAID BIRTHDAY WISH (2-15-25)

Today’s card features the Timeless Plaid 6 x 6” Designer Series Paper.  Many say that they feel most challenged when creating masculine themed cards.  Well the beautiful plaids in this paper pack are great for masculine cards and they really work well with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.  Here is what I came up with using those products…

The card base is Misty Moonlight cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I added a layer of Basic Beige cardstock that I cut to 4 x 5 ¼ and embossed with the Forever plaid 3D Embossing Folder.  Next, I cut a piece of the 6 x 6” Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper into four pieces that were 3 x 3” (set aside three of them for three additional cards because this design makes great use of the paper).  I grabbed a scrap of the paper I had left from another card (this is actually the back side of the plaid) and cut it to ½ x 5 ¼” and centered it across my embossed layer.  Then I cut that 3 x 3” piece into 3 pieces that were 1 x 3”.  Then I cut three pieces of Mossy Meadow cardstock into 1 ¼ x 3 ¼” pieces and mounted my Designer Series Paper on them.  I added these to my card using Dimensionals, I found the best way to get the spacing right was to start with the center strip and then add the other two on the sides for an even spacing. 

To finish the front of the card I stamped the sentiment “Happy Birthday” from the Go to Greetings Stamp set (this set is retired but we all have those favorite sets with basic sentiments that we gravitate to when making cards, make it your own and use what you have) and stamped it centered on a piece of Basic Beige cardstock that measured 1 ¾ x 4 ½” with Misty Moonlight Ink.  Once my stamping was complete, I used one of the dies from the Nested Essential Dies to cut it out and I added it to the center of my card.  I finished the front off with two Tinsel Gems.  For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock to 4 x 5 1/4" and simply added a strip of the same plaid Designer Series Paper that I used on the front at the bottom, it measures ½ x 5 ¼”. 

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:
