MOONLIT FLORA BIRTHDAY CARD

Today’s card features the Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper  and the Fern & Flora Bundle.  I wanted to make a card that focused more on the beautiful DSP so I wanted the front to be a little minimalistic.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Golden Glow cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I cut a piece of the Moonlit Flora DSP to 4 x 5 ¼”.  I stamped the label outline and sentiment “You make the world a better place” from the Fern & Flora stamp set onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Golden Glow Ink.  I then die cut it using the coordinating label die from the bundle.  I added it to the right bottom front of my card using Dimensionals.  I die cut one of the ferns out of Old Olive cardstock and one of the foliage pieces from the bundle out of a scrap of Golden Glow cardstock and tucked them in behind the sentiment.  I die cut three of the flowers from a scrap of Basic White cardstock using the flower dies from the set and three centers from a scrap of Golden Glow cardstock.  Once the flowers were all put together, I added them in a little tight grouping to the bottom left of the card using Mini Dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼”.  I stamped the sentiment “Happy Birthday To You” from the Framed Violets stamp set onto the top center using Golden Glow Ink.  I stamped the little flower bunch from the bundle in the bottom right using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (Stampin’ Up! no longer carries this but I still prefer it for use with alcohol markers) and colored it using Golden Glow and Peaceful Pines  Stampin’ Markers. 

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:

FLOWERING HUGS & KISSES

Today’s card features the lovely Flower Fair Stamp Set.  This set is an online exclusive that has been moved to the last chance shopping because it is getting ready to retire.  The stamp is a single stamp that creates beautiful backgrounds.  While I worked with Daffodil Delight today this set can be colored in lots of beautiful Stampin’ Up! colors, just think about the beautiful card sets you could make with just this one stamp.

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Daffodil Delight cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I added a layer of Basic Black that measured 4 x 5 ¼”.  I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 3 7/8 x 5 1/8” and stamped it with the Flower Fair Stamp using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (Stampin’ Up! no longer sells this ink but I continue to use it because I believe it is the best ink to use with alcohol markers).  I then used the 5^th largest of the Everyday Arches Dies to cut out the center which I colored using Daffodil Delight, Golden Glow and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend Markers.  I cut out the 4^th largest arch from the die set out of Basic Black cardstock and mounted my colored arch onto it. 

I wrapped the arch with some retired black and white checked ribbon (I couldn’t resist as the color was perfect) and tied a square knot.  I added the arches to the front of the card using Dimensionals.  I stamped my sentiment “hugs & kisses” onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  NOTE:  This sentiment is from the Soiree Salutations Stamp Set which is being introduced in the September – December Catalog and it will be available to customers when it goes live in September.  Being allowed to purchase these sets a month before they are released to the general public is one of the nice perks of being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator.  I used the Three Banner Punch (this punch is part of a bundle Banner Sayings but the punch also coordinates nicely with this stamp set as well) and punched out the sentiment and another flag from a scrap of Basic Black cardstock.  I cut the white flag down on three sides and mounted it onto the black cardstock and attached it to my card.  To finish the front off I added one of the 2026 – 2028 In Color Butterflies (I chose the Golden Glow one). 

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:

FRAMED ALL AROUND SYMPATHY CARD

Today’s card features three different sets the All Aflutter Bundle, the Phrases & Frames Stamp Set and the Framed All Around Stamp Set.  The Framed All Around Stamp Set is retiring soon and is currently available in the Last Chance sales so if you love it grab it quick.  I kept looking at it and finally ordered it just to have it moved to last chance a week after my set arrived so don’t miss out.  As I have said before I am getting to that age where I need more and more sympathy cards and it is always a struggle to make one when you are filled with emotions so I try to keep a few on hand all the time and today I decided to create one for my stash.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Hydrangea Hue 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 a Blending Brush to add a little Hydrangea Hue Ink to the two corners for added interest.  Next, I used the corner line stamp from the Framed All Around Stamp Set and added those in Smoky Slate Ink to the two corners I had not inked with the blending brush.  Then I stamped the flowers and the leaves from the set again in Smoky Slate Ink to the two corners I had inked with the blending brush.  They don’t quite meet the corner stamps but I love the look.  With that done I stamped my sentiment “May all the love and support that surrounds you help heal your heart” in the bottom right corner, also from that same stamp set again in Smoky Slate Ink.

I colored my leaves and flowers using the Hydrangea Hue and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends.  I added some White Gel Pen to the center of the flowers and then added Wink of Stella to all the flowers and leaves.  I stamped my butterflies from the All Aflutter Stamp Set (I used the detailed stamp first) onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Misty Moonlight Ink.  Then I stamped the solid stamp of the butterflies in Hydrangea Hue Ink that I had stamped off once first (second generation stamping).  I punched the butterflies out using the coordinating punch from the bundle and bent then in half and added adhesive to the centers of them and added them to the front of my card.  I added a single Mini Dimensional under each wing to give the wings lift. 

For the inside of the card I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped the sentiment “Sending prayers and Heartfelt Sympathy to you and your Family” from the Phrases & Frames Stamp Set using that same Smoky Slate Ink.  I also stamped a part of the flowers I used on the front of the card down in the bottom right again with Smoky Slate Ink and colored them using the same Stampin’ Blends I used on the front of the card, along with Wink of Stella and the White Gel Pen centers.  I also stamped and colored the same flowers on my envelope. 

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 SWEETEST BIRTHDAY WISH

Today’s card features the Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper and the Phrases & Frames Stamp Set.  I also used the Party Banner Dies to create this cute card.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Gray Granite cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I added a layer of Cajun Craze cardstock that measured 4 1/8 x 5 3/8” and topped that with a piece of the Waterside Retreat DSP that measured 4 x 5 ¼”.  I used one of the cute cut aparts from the DSP, this one features an ice cream shop, and cut it down using the 4^th from the smallest of the banners from the Party Banner Dies to cut it down.  I then used the 5^th smallest die to cut out a piece of Cajun Craze cardstock and the 6^th smallest to cut out a piece of Gray Granite cardstock.  I adhered the three pieces together and pop them up on the left side of the card using Dimensionals.  I stamped the sentiment “Happiest Birthday Wishes!” from the Phrases & Frames Stamp Set over on the bottom right side of the DSP using Cajun Craze Ink. 

For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼”.  I added a little piece of the DSP I used on the front to the right side; it measured 1 ½ x 4”.  I stamped the sentiment “May your day be filled with love and happiness” also from the Phrases & Frames Stamp Set onto the white using Cajun Craze Ink.
