MOONLIT FLORA SYMPATHY CARD

Today’s card features the beautiful Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper and the Fern & Flora Bundle.  I have really enjoyed using this paper so I decided to use it for one of those cards we all need but none of us really look forward to creating, a Sympathy Card.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Berry Burst cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I cut a layer of Old Olive to 4 x 5 ¼” and embossed it with a retired fern embossing folder (I have been waiting for the Fern & Flora 3D Embossing Folder to come back into stock and I can happily say I got an email saying it is back so it will be on my next order.  I will add the number for it at the bottom for those interested).  Then I cut two pieces of Berry Burst cardstock to 2 ¼ x 4 ¼” and added two pieces of the Moonlit Flora DSP that measured 2 x 4” to them (I chose the berry burst design and one with flowers that have just a touch of the berry burst in them).  Once those were mounted on the mats, I added one to the right side of the card about ¼” from the side and ¼” from the top.  I added the second one on the left side ¼” from the left side and ¼” from the bottom.

With those in place I wrapped they embossed layer with a piece of Berry Burst Shiny Ribbon and attached it behind the layer and then adhered the layer to my card base.  Using the dies from the Fern & Flora Bundle I die cut the large fern from a scrap of Mossy Meadow cardstock, the fiddlehead from a scrap of Berry Burst cardstock and the little foliage piece from a scrap of Old Olive cardstock.  I stamped my sentiment “Sending you Hugs” and the border from the Fern & Flora Stamp Set onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Berry Burst Ink.  I added the sentiment with Dimensionals and then tucked my fern, fiddlehead and foliage piece behind it.

For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped my sentiment “Sending prayers and heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.” from the Phrases & Frames Stamp Set in Berry Burst 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:

LUNA MOTH BEAUTY

Today’s card features the beautiful Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper and the Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies.  I fell in love with this paper and just keep creating with it because it is so perfect.  I had hot foiled the whole collection of the Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies onto white cardstock in gold and now I am using them on all kinds of cards so one of them was a perfect addition to a card that was just all about the DSP.

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Mossy Meadow cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I added a layer of the Moonlit Flora DSP that measured 4 x 5 ¼”.  Then I cut a second piece of the DSP from another sheet to 1 3/8 x 4” which I adhered to a layer of Soft Seafoam cardstock that measured 1 7/8 x 4 1/8”.  Then I adhered those two layers to a piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock that measured 2 x 4 ¼”.  I added this to the front of my card using Dimensionals.

I fussy cut the beautiful Luna Moth out of a piece of the DSP and added it to the center of the card.  I used the sentiment “Here’s to Another Year” heat foiled onto Basic White cardstock using Gold Heat Foil and die cut using the coordinating dies (there are a total of 11 sentiments in this set that all heat foil and die cut as one which is awesome) and added it to my card front using Mini Dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I simply cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and added a strip of the DSP down one side that measured 5/8 x 5”.  I also stamped Happy Birthday To You” from the Framed Violets Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow Ink.

VIOLET BIRTHDAY

Today’s card features the Framed Violets Bundle and the Violet Dreams Designer Series Paper.  This DSP has the bonus of having two sheets of punch out designs.  I chose to use one on todays card.  I used the pretty little frame that holds my violets.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Basic White cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I added a layer of Highland Heather cardstock that measures 4 1/8 x 5 3/8”.  Then I added a layer of the Violet Dreams Designer Series Paper (I chose the little freesia and white stripped paper) that measured 4 x 5 ¼”.  I punched the fresh freesia colored frame out of the DSP and added a little scrap of Basic White behind it and then popped the whole thing up on the center of my card using Dimensionals. 

I stamped the violet bunch from the bundle onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (Stampin’ Up! no longer sells this ink but I continue to use it because I love how it works with the Stampin’ Blends) and die cut it using the coordinating dies from the bundle.  I colored it in using Darling Duckling, Fresh Freesia and Peaceful Pine Stampin’ Blends and then added it to the center of my frame.  For my sentiment I used the new Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies and foiled the whole group of sentiments onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using the Gold Heat Foil and then die cut them out using the coordinating dies.  (I saved all the other sentiments and have started a nice little collection so I can grab them as needed to add to cards).  I added the sentiment using Mini Dimensionals. 

For the inside of the card and the envelope I stamped the single violet and leaf and colored them using the same color Stampin’ Blends I used to color the other violets.

SCENIC COAST FUN FOLD

Today’s card features the Scenic Coast Specialty Designer Series Paper along with the Sunset Coast Dies, Everyday Arches Dies and the Banner Saying Bundle.  I love fun fold cards and when I made my card last Monday I needed a layer of this beautiful DSP but realized much of it was going to be covered up on the completed card.  So I did what I love to do and die cut the center out before adding it to the card and layering it up.  So I used one of the Everyday Arches to do just that so today it was all about using that arched die cut.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Melon Mambo cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 7” and scored at 2 ¾”.  I cut a layer of Secret Sea cardstock that measured 2 ½ x 5 ¼” and added a piece of the beautiful Scenic Coast DSP that measured 2 ¼ x 5” and then added that to the left front of my card.  Next, I cut a piece of the Secret Sea cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and a piece of the Melon Mambo cardstock to 1 ½ x 3 ¼” scored at 2 ¾”.  I attached the little ¼” flap of the Melon Mambo onto the back of my Secret Sea cardstock before adding it to the inside of the card (this is the arm that holds my arches).  Then I die cut a piece of the Secret Sea cardstock using the 4^th largest of the Everyday Arches Dies and added that arched piece of DSP I had left from Monday’s card to it (that one was cut with the 5^th largest arch die). 

I centered the arches on the card and adhered them to the flap I made from the Melon Mambo cardstock.  To finish the front of the card I die cut the light house and two sea birds from the Sunset Coast Dies out of scraps of Basic Black and attached them to the arches.  I stamped the sentiment “Happy Birthday” from the Banner Sayings Bundle onto a scrap of Melon Mambo cardstock using Secret Sea Ink and then punched it out with the coordinating banner punch and added it with Mini Dimensionals.

To finish of the inside of the card I cut a piece of Basic White to 3 ¾ x 5” and added a scrap of the DSP along the bottom that measured ½ x 3 ¾” and attached that to the inside of the card on top of the Secret Sea layer.

A LIFETIME OF JOY

Today’s card features the Sunset Coast Bundle and the beautiful Scenic Coast Designer Series Specialty Paper.  I have really enjoyed playing with these products.  Everyone knows I love the beach and these bright viberant colors just transport me there.  Here is what I came up with today…

The card base is Blueberry Bushel cardstock cut to 4 ¼ x 11” and scored at 5 ½”.  I added a piece of the Scenic Coast Designer Series Paper that measured 4 x 5 ¼” (NOTE:  This paper is beautiful and I want to show it off as much as possible so before I added the DSP to my card base, I die cut the center out using one of the Everyday Arches Dies which I will use for Wednesdays card). 

I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 ¼ x 3” and stamped my sentiment “Wishing you a Lifetime of Joy” from the Sunset Coast Bundle near the bottom using Melon Mambo Ink.  Then I used the stamps from the bundle and stamped the water using Misty Moonlight Ink and added the highlights in it using Golden Glow Ink.  Next, I stamped the clouds using Balmy Blue Ink (I also stamped this onto a post-it-note and used that as a mask so I could stamp my sun.  The sun was stamped using Melon Mambo Ink.  I die cut the three seabirds and the sailboat from the bundle out of Basic Black cardstock.  I adhered the birds directly to the white and used a Mini Dimensional to add the sailboat.  I did add some embellishments; these are retired but there are lots available that would work well.

I added this layer to a piece of Blueberry Bushel cardstock that measured 4 3/8 x 3 1/8” and added that to the center of the card using Dimensionals.  For the inside I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and added a strip of the DSP that measured ½ x 4”. 

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:
