MOONLIT FLORA FOUR PANEL

Today’s card features the new Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper and the new Fern & Flora Bundle.  I knew when I saw this suite of products in the new May – August Mini catalog that they were going to be a hit with myself and my customers so I decided to use it first.  I used one of my trusty card templates that I keep in a binder for when I am looking for inspiration.  I create these templates from cards I have seen over the years or just from ideas I have in my head and make them out of cheap cardstock and then I can draw on them for ideas for card layouts (I will share a picture of this one at the end of the post). 

Here is what I came up with today…

The card base is Soft Seafoam cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I orientated this card to be a landscape card rather than a traditional portrait style card just to add some interest for my card class.  I added a layer of the new Peaceful Pine cardstock that measures 4 x 5 ¼”.  Please don’t hate me but I found that some of these pieces just needed to be cut at 1/8” rather than our standard ¼”. 

I cut four mats from Soft Seafoam cardstock, the first at 1 5/8 x 3 ¾” and then I cut a piece of Golden Glow cardstock to 1 ½ x 3 5/8” and embossed it.  I used a retired embossing folder called Fern 3D because I don’t have the new folder called Fern & Flora, you can use any folder you want.  Once it was embossed I just lightly ran my Golden Glow Ink Pad over it to add some extra dimension and added this the first mat.  Next, I cut a mat at 1 3/4" x 3 ¼” and added a piece of the Moonlit Flora DSP that measured 1 5/8 x 3 1/8” (watch your pattern orientation).  Now it is on to mat number three, I cut it to 1 ¾ x 1 7/8” and to that I added a piece of Basic White cardstock that measured 1 5/8 x 1 ¾” before attaching it to the mat I and stamped it using the stamp from the Fern & Flora Bundle, I used the sentiment “SINCERE THANKS” using the Peaceful Pine Ink in the very top left corner, then I stamped the floral image using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored it with the Mossy Meadow and Golden Glow Stampin’ Blend Markers.  Finally, for the fourth mat I cut a mat to 1 3/8 x 1 7/8” and added a piece of the DSP that measured 1 ¼ x 1 ¾” (again watch that pattern orientation).  When all the mats were complete, I added them to my card being sure to keep everything equally spaced.

I then using the dies from the bundle I cut the large fern out of Peaceful Pine cardstock, the Fiddle Head and another foliage piece (sorry I don’t know its name) out of Soft Seafoam cardstock.  I added these pieces to the top of the embossed.  Then I cut a piece of the new Golden Glow Bordered Ribbon and tied a little square knot bow and added it to the bottom of my die cuts with a Mini Glue Dot. 

Here is the card template I used for this card.

For the inside of the card, I simply cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped one corner with the same floral image I used on the front of the card with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored it with the Mossy Meadow and Golden Glow Stampin’ Blend 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:

YOU MAKE ME SMILE

Today’s card features the Nature’s Symphony Bundle.  I am again working with the True Blue Florals Designer Series Paper (DSP) which are retired.  As I said before I am just making cards to go with a card gift box I posted a few days ago and these basic designs can be used with any DSP you have on hand.

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Night of Navy cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I cut a layer of Balmy Blue cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” (TIP:  I die cut my foliage for the card front from the center of this layer before going further, this is a great way to say cardstock and since it is being covered no one will ever know), don’t add this to the card base as we are going to add DSP and then pop that layer up.   I added a layer of the True Blue Florals DSP that measures 3 7/8 x 5 1/8” onto this (I like that thin border) to the Balmy Blue cardstock layer and then added it to the front of the card with Dimensionals.

I added my Balmy Blue foliage piece that I had previously cut out of one of the layers to the front of the card and I die cut another from Gold Foil Specialty Paper and cut it in half and added half to the card.  I stamped the sentiment “You make me smile” also from the Nature’s Symphony Bundle onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock and die cut it using one of the Circles from the Spotlight on Nature Dies and popped that up on the front of the card with Dimensionals. 

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:

FLORALS IN BLOOM IDEA #3

Today’s card once again features the Florals In Bloom Designer Series Paper.  For this card I kept it really simple.  No dies, only paper, one stamp and two embellishments.  These are supplies all card makers have readily available.  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”.  To that I added a layer of Peach Pie that measures 4 x 5 ¼”.  I cut a piece of the Designer Series Paper into a piece that measures 3 x 3 5/8” and mounted that onto a piece of Secret Sea cardstock that measures 3 ¼ x 4 ½”, being sure to adhere it with a 1/8” border at the top and on both sides.  I then tore the bottom of the Secret Sea cardstock to add more interest to the card (if you tear towards yourself, you get more texture). 

To finish off the card I cut a piece of Peach Pie cardstock to ½ x 4” and stamped the sentiment “Get Well Soon” from the Friendly Foliage stamp set onto the middle of it with Secret Sea Ink.  Finally, I added two of the blue embellishments from the Opal Rounds Assortment (these are in the last chance sale and are a great price so this is a good time to grab some).

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:

ON MY MIND

Today’s card features some last chance sales items, because who doesn’t love something on sale?  I am using the Beautiful Patterns Embossing Folder and the Opal Rounds which or both on sale while supplies last.  I am also using the True Blue Florals DSP which is no longer available but as I said in previous posts about this these cards are to go in a coordinating box that I showed how to make in a previous post and you can make them with any DSP you have on hand to match your box. 

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 cut a layer of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and embossed it with the Beautiful Patterns Embossing Folder before adding it to my card base, I also wrapped the center with a ribbon (this is retired ribbon but you can use any ribbon you have on hand or even another piece of DSP or cardstock for the same kind of effect).  I die cut one of the Party Banner flags out of Night of Navy cardstock and used the next smallest one to cut a flag out of the DSP.  I adhered these together and added them to the front of my card using Dimensionals. 

I stamped the sentiment “You’re on my mind and in my heart” from the Friendly Foliage stamp set onto some scrap Basic White cardstock using Night of Navy Ink and then die cut it using the Stylish Shapes Dies.  I added this to the center of my larger flags.  To finish off my card I added two of the Opal Rounds.

CHECK OUT SCALLOPED WISHES

Today’s card features the Scalloped Wishes Bundle.  I love this new bundle which is an Online Exclusive (remember that just means its available while supplies last and it wasn’t featured in one of the print catalogs).  I decided to create a card using the True Blue Florals Designer Series Paper that was a product of the month a few months ago.  While this paper is no longer available I wanted to show you that you can grab any paper in your stash and create with it using new products.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Night of Navy cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I cut a piece of the Dsp to 4 x 5 ¼” and added it to the card base.  I stamped the largest of the oval images from the stamp set onto a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock using Night of Navy Ink.  I also added the sentiment “Hello” to the center of the oval using one of the stamps from the set and Night of Navy Ink.  I die cut the larger of the two scalloped oval dies out of Night of Navy cardstock and positioned it onto the stamped image. 

I die cut two of the leaf branches out of Garden Green cardstock and two of the flowers out of Basic White cardstock.  I added these to the oval as well.  Then I popped the oval up onto the center of my card using Dimensionals.  I added two white gems I had in my retired stash to finish off the flowers.  This was a quick and easy card that didn’t require a lot of different product just paper, ink and the bundle.

GRATEFUL FOR YOU

Today’s card features the True Blue Designer Series Paper.  This paper is no longer available as it was a Product of the Month Product and has sold out.  I wanted to explain a little about the Product of the Month program.  Stampin’ Up! releases a new Product of the Month each month that you can purchase for $5 with a $75 qualifying purchase.  These products can not be purchased in any other way, nor can you purchase more than one of them.  While the paper is not available the layout I show in this post can be used with any Designer Series Paper and it also coordinates with the gift box I posted on April 26^th.  I am hoping this will inspire you to use some of that beautiful DSP you have already to make this great gift box and card set.  So here is todays card…

The card base is Basic White cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I added a layer of Night of Navy cardstock that measures 4 x 5 ¼”.  Then I took a piece of the Designer Series Paper (DSP) that had two sides that coordinated nicely with one another and cut it at 3 ½ x 4 ¾”.  Then I cut that piece of DSP from the top to the bottom at 2 ½” and then turned that piece and cut it again at 2 ¾” (these are the blocks for the left side of the card).  Then I took the remaining 1 x 4 ¾” piece of DSP and turned it side ways and cut at 1 ½” (these are the blocks for the right side of the card).  I adhered the DSP to the card front. 

Next, I die cut a piece of Night of Navy and a piece of Basic White cardstock using the circles from the Spotlight on Nature dies.  On the white circle I stamped the sentiment “Grateful for You” from the Layers of Beauty Stamp Set using Balmy Blue Ink (folks this set is on clearance and is just $20 while supplies last.  I also stamped three of the little flowers from the stamp set onto the white circle using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored them using Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight and Garden Green Stampin Blends.  I adhered the white circle to the night of navy circle and added some ribbon (this is retired but remember use your stash) to the back of it before popping the whole thing up on the front of the card using Dimensionals. 

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:
