EMBRACE THE WONDER

Today’s card features the Light & Wonder Bundle, Lights of Aurora Designer Series Paper and the Frosted Iridescent Dots all of which are part of the Lights of Aurora Suite Collection new in the September - December Mini Catalog.  If you are like me you are always looking for something new to make cards especially masculine cards, well this suite is perfect for that.  I couldn’t wait to jump in and play around with it so here is what I came up with…

The card base is Azure Afternoon cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I stamped the sentiment “Embrace The” from the bundle in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink at the very bottom right corner.  I cut a piece of the 6 x 6” Lights of Aurora DSP down to 3 x 5 ¼” (perfect for making two cards out of one piece).  I then took a piece of Basic Black cardstock and cut it down to 1 ¾ x 5 ¼” and then die cut it using die #1 from the bundle (see image below).  I positioned this piece right below my Designer Series Paper piece and attached it (I did leave the empty center to make it appear that there was a lake there.  (NOTE:  I used my grid paper to line up the cardstock and DSP to keep everything straight) The die cut will be a little longer than the DSP but that is ok you can just cut the excess away before attaching this to the card base. 

To finish off the front of the card I added three of the Frosted Iridescent Dots.  For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped the sentiment “Wonder” on the top center using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I took a piece of Basic Black cardstock that measured 1 ½ x 6” and again cut it using Die #1.  I cut this piece in half and used half on the bottom left inside of the card and the other half on the envelope.

PEACEFUL GARDEN SUITE

One thing I really love about being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator is all the perks I get for doing what I love.  I was blessed to be allowed to order this beautiful suite of products way ahead of customers and Stampin’ Up! offered it with great crafting opportunity.  I got to attend Creatively Now an online class where I got to see just how the products worked and I was provided with written information and video instructions to make several projects with the suite.  Today’s card features one of the projects I saw there but with my own take on it.  I hope you love this beautiful suite as much as I do.

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Cloud Cover cardstock cut to 4 ¼ x 11” and scored at 5 ½”.  I then cut a piece of the beautiful Peaceful Gardens DSP to 3 5/8 x 4 7/8” (note: it is always best to start by cutting your 12 x 12” DSP down to 4 x 12” strips and make your cards from those pieces because most layers are 4” wide and the 3/8” piece left over from doing this will be used on the inside) and mounted it onto a piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock that measured 3 3/4x 5”.  Then I wrapped a piece of the Misty Moonlight Silver Edged Ribbon around it horizontally and adhered the ends to the back before adding it to my card base.  I die cut the largest of the labels from the dies in the bundle and stamped the sentiment “Peace on Earth” near the bottom edge.  I attached this with Dimensionals to the center of the card.  I added a bow I made from the Misty Moonlight Silver Edged Ribbon to the bottom with a Mini Glue Dot.  I die cut one of the doves from the bundle out of a scrap of Basic White cardstock and added just a hint of color to the beak using my Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend Marker and a dot for his eye using the .4mm Journaling Pen.  I added this to the top of the sentiment label using Dimensionals.  I added a small olive branch cut out of a scrap of Misty Moonlight cardstock using one of the dies in the bundle just under the beak. 

For the inside of the card, I simple cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and added a little piece of the DSP that measured 3/8” x 4” (this is what was left when I cut down my 4” wide piece of DSP for the front of the card).

PEACE ON EARTH PRAYERS

Today’s card features the new Peaceful Earth Bundle, Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder and Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper.  I love the versitility of this bundle.  I have be using it to make everything from thinking of you, sympathy and Christmas cards.  I think it can be used in so many ways it is one of those must have sets.  So I did a little playing around with it today as I needed a card to send to someone who has been struggling with medical issues and this card was perfect.

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 a layer of Cloud Cover cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and embossed using the new Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder (Note:  This folder also works with the largest label die in the bundle so you can die cut out the label while embossing, which is awesome).  I then cut the largest label in the set out of Secret Sea cardstock and the smaller one out of Basic White cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment “Heartfelt Prayers” in Secret Sea Ink onto the Basic White layer.  I adhered the two labels together and then added them to the center of my embossed layer.  Next, I die cut the two doves from the bundle out of the darkest of the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper (it looks like Secret Sea to me).  I added those doves using Dimensionals.  For the final addition I added three of the Hues of Blues Flower Embellishments.

GALLERY BLOOMS BOOK BINDING CARD

Today’s card features the Gallery Blooms Bundle and Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper.  This card is a book binding card, which is where you score the left side of the card and adhere it to the back of the card so it opens up like a book.  I wanted to show this beautiful paper using a little different style than I normally go with and this is what I came up with…

The card base is Secret Sea cardstock cut to 4 ¼ x 11” and scored at 4 ¼ and 5 ½”.  I folded the card like normal at the 5 ½’ score line but then I folded it into a mountain fold (so it opens out) at the 4 ¼” score line.  I adhered the 1 ¼” piece to the back of the card.  I cut a piece of Cloud Cover cardstock to 1 x 4” and a piece of the DSP to ¾ x 3 ¾” and wrapped a piece of the ¼” White Ribbon around it and tied a bow in the center.  With that all done I added it to the left side of the card.  Next, I cut a piece of Cloud Cover cardstock to 4 x 4” and a piece of the DSP to 3 ¾ x 3 ¾” and adhered them to one another and then adhered that to the right side of the card.  I stamped the sentiment “Happy Birthday” onto a scrap of Cloud Cover cardstock that measured ½ x 2 ¼” in Secret Sea Ink, this stamp is from the Go To Greetings Stamp Set which is now retired.  I say all the time that we all have those sets, especially sentiment sets that are our go to stamps and that is great, use what you have and you love).  I added the sentiment to the front of the card with Mini Dimensionals.  I die cut three of the flowers from the Gallery Blooms dies out of scraps of Cloud Cover cardstock and tucked them down behind my sentiment (I cut a little off each of them to get the look I wanted).  Finally, I added three of the 25-27 In Color Flat Rounds to the card. 

For the inside of my card I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 4” and stamped one of the little flowers from the Gallery Blooms Bundle onto it using Secret Sea Ink.  I wanted to add just a little touch of additional color to the flowers so I used my Cloud Cover Stampin’ Write Marker (part of the 25-27 In Color Collection) to add just a touch of color along the edges.

IMPRESSIONS ABLOOM

Today’s card features the Impressions Abloom Bundle and the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper.  I love to create 3D flowers and this bundle is perfect for that.  I wanted to create a card that mixed die cut flowers and stamped flowers and this is what I came up with…

The card base is Early Espresso cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I cut a piece of Floral Impressions DSP to 4 x 5 ¼” and then cut that in half at 2”.  I used the floral side of the paper for the top of my card and the green neutral back of the same design for the bottom.  I just taped the two pieces together on the back and then wrapped a piece of ¼” White Ribbon across the front and attached it in the back.  I mounted this onto my card base and went to work on my 3D flowers.  I die cut two of the larger flowers out of Daffodil Delight cardstock and four of the smaller flowers out of Petal Pink cardstock (great way to use up scraps).  I adhered the two layers of each flower to one another offsetting them just a hair.  I also die cut one large and two small flower centers out of Early Espresso cardstock and added those to the center of the flowers.  The flowers were added to the card base with Dimensionals.  I die cut two leave out of Garden Green cardstock and added them tucked up under the larger of the flowers.  The sentiment “just a note” is from the Beautiful Motifs Stamp Set and it was stamped on a scrap of Basic White cardstock with Garden Green Ink.  I then die cut it using the Stylish Shapes Dies.  I also cut a second one of the flags using that same die out of Daffodil Delight cardstock and cut it in half.  I attached each half to either end of my sentiment leaving about a ¼” of it revealed.  I added the sentiment to the front right bottom with Dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped the flower (this is a two-step stamp so there are two stamps that create both the flower and the leaves) using Lemon Lolly Ink for the main image and Daffodil Delight Ink for the detailed image.  I stamped the two leaves using Garden Green Ink, I stamped off once before stamping the main image.  The center is stamped with Pecan Pie Ink for the main image and Early Espresso Ink for the detailed image.
