GETTING THE MOST OUT OF A 3 x 3” PIECE OF DSP (7-13-26)

Today’s card is another created using a template.  This template features a 3 x 3” piece of Designer Series Paper (I love this paper so I am especially happy to have it go further).  While my template is a portrait layout I am switching it up for this card and using it on a landscape oriented card.  I love working with templates it is such a great way to get inspired and knowing I can switch things up as I go.  Here is what I came up with...

Here is the template I used…

The card base is Berry Burst cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I added a layer of Mossy Meadow cardstock that measured 4 x 5 ¼” (I embossed this layer with a retired embossing folder that is ferns but there is a new folder that coordinates with this paper if you want it).  Next, I cut a piece of Berry Burst cardstock to 3 ¼ x 3 ¼”.  I took my piece of Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper that was a 3 x 3” piece and cut it into three strips that measured 5/16 x 3” (there is a tiny piece of waste) and attached them to my Berry Burst layer leaving equal reveals around all the pieces (about 1/8”).  I added this to the left center of my card (about ½” from the left side) using Dimensionals.  I stamped my sentiment “Happy Birthday” from the Banners Saying Bundle onto a scrap of Berry Burst cardstock using Mossy Meadow Ink and punched it out using the coordinating punch.

Next, I went to work with the Fern & Flora Dies.  I cut out the largest fern from the dies using Berry Burst cardstock and added it to the right side of my card.  I die cut out three of the flowers from the dies using a scrap Basic White cardstock and three of the flower centers using a scrap of Daffodil Delight cardstock.  Before adhering the flowers together, I added just a hint of Berry Burst Ink using my Water Painter to add some color.  I adhered the centers and them adhered the flowers to the base of the fern. 

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 FUN WITH HOT FOIL

I just can’t get enough of this new Hot Foil System from Stampin’ Up!  It is so much fun to work with and the results are so totally satisfying.  Today I worked with the Botanical Glow Bundle.  This bundle includes coordinating stamps and foil dies and it is awesome.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Lost Lagoon cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I cut a layer of Gold Foil to 4 x 5 ¼” (note here:  be sure to cut the center out of your gold layer, either just cut it out or do some die cut images but there is no reason to waste all that pretty gold foil just covering it up with another layer).  I then cut another layer of the Lost Lagoon cardstock to 3 ¾ x 5” and stamped my leaf image onto it using Lost Lagoon Ink.  With that complete I headed over to my Hot Foil System and foiled some additional leaves onto this layer.  I love how they compliment one another and the gold really adds to the card.

I attached this to the gold foil layer and wrapped it with Gold Striped Mesh Band Ribbon and tied that into a nice square knot (I really like this kind of knot for cards I am mailing).  With the ribbon on I attached these layers to my card base.  I stamped my sentiment “Happiest Birthday Wishes” from the Phrases & Frames stamp set onto a scrap of Lost Lagoon cardstock using VersaMark Ink.  I added Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (I used to gold) and heat embossed the sentiment.  I fussy cut around the sentiment and added it to my card with Mini Dimensionals.  To finish the front, I added three of the Adhesive Backed Metallic Gems.

For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped the sentiment “May your day be filled with love and happiness” from the Phrases & Frames stamp set using Lost Lagoon Ink.

MOONLIT FLORA THINKING OF YOU

Today’s card features the Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper.  I wanted to create a simple card that just focused on this beautiful Designer Series Paper so here is what I came up with…

The card base is Peaceful Pine cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I cut a layer of Golden Glow cardstock to 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and added a piece of the Moonlit Flora DSP that measured 3 ¼ x 4” to the top of it.  I popped this up onto the center of my card base using Dimensionals.  I stamped my sentiment “Thinking of You” from the Friendly Foliage Stamp Set onto a piece of Golden Glow cardstock that measured 5/16 x 2 ½” using Peaceful Pine Ink.  I mounted that onto a piece of Peaceful Pine cardstock that measured ¾ x 2 ¾” and added it onto my card.

To finish off the card I added a Linen Thread bow that I attached with a Mini Glue Dot and three embellishments (these are retired ones but grab something from your stash or even use the Rhinestone Basic Jewels, which you can color any color you want with your Stampin’ Blends markers.

SENDING VIOLETS AND LOVE

Today’s card features the Framed Violets Stamp Set and the Violet Dreams Designer Series Paper.  I love the depth of the colors in this DSP and I have always loved Violets so I couldn’t wait to create with these products.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Secret Sea cardstock cut to 4 ¼ x 11” and scored at 4 and 9 ½”.  I folded both score lines to the front of the card.  On the left side I added a layer of Highland Heather cardstock that measured 3 ¾ x 4” and on top of that I added a layer of the Violet Dreams DSP that measured 3 3/8 x 3 7/8”.  On the right side I added a layer of Highland Heather cardstock that measured 1 ¼ x 4” and on top of that I added a layer of the DSP that measured 1 1/8 x 3 7/8”.

I used the Spotlight on Nature Dies to cut two circles, the larger out of Highland Heather (tip: cut this out of the center of the layer you are placing under the DSP on the left side of the card, great way to save paper since you can’t see under the DSP) and the smaller one I cut out of Barely Blush cardstock.  I stamped my sentiment from the stamp set “Sending Love” onto the center of the barely blush circle using Secret Sea Ink.  I then added this layer to my card using Dimensionals (be sure not to stick it to the right side opening or your card will not be able to open).  I had some retired gems in my stash that worked perfectly so I added them for interest. 

For the inside of the card I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped the violets from the stamp set onto the corner of it using Barely Blush Ink.

INTRODUCING THE NEW STAMPIN’ UP! HOT FOIL SYSTEM

Today I want to share a new product with you.  Beginning July 11th Stampin’ Up! will be offering a Hot Foil System and let me tell you it is a game changer.  This system will take your cardmaking and memory keeping to a whole new level.  Today’s card features the Garden Silhouette Hot Foil Die and Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil.  I loved this the minute I saw it and immediately knew I wanted to create with it using one of my favorite colors, Pretty Peacock.

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Pretty Peacock cardstock cut to 4 ¼ x 11” and scored at 5 ½”.  I then cut a second piece of the Pretty Peacock cardstock to 3 7/8 x 5 1/8”.  I heated up my Hot Foil System added the beautiful Garden Silhouette Hot Foil Die, my gold foil (shinny side down) and my cardstock and followed the directions to foil.  I added this layer to a layer of Gold Foil Sheet that measured 4 x 5 ¼” and wrapped a Pretty Peacock and Gold Ribbon around the lower part it (this ribbon is now retired) and added a square knot bow.  I popped this layer up on the card base using Dimensionals.

I added a strip of Gold Foil that measured ¾ x 4” about 1 ½” from the top.  I stamped my sentiment “With Sympathy” from the retired Unbounded Love Stamp Set (I needed a sympathy card and don’t have a current set with that sentiment) onto a scrap of Pretty Peacock cardstock using VersaMark Ink.  I added the Gold Metallic Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set it.  I used an old oval punch I have to punch it out but you could use any die or punch you have on hand. 

For the inside I took a piece of Basic White cardstock cut 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 Pretty Peacock Ink. 

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:
