A SIMPLE BLUE THANK YOU

Today’s card is all about simple and fast.  It features the Scalloped Blooms Bundle and the Bloom Boutique Specialty Designer Series Paper.  We all need thank you cards and it is nice to have a simple card layout to create them with.  This layout was inspired by one I watched Mary Knabe create on YouTube.  Here it is…

The card base is Basic White cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  The next layer is Hydrangea Hue and is cut to 4 x 5 ¼” and adhered directly to the base.  The Designer Series Paper is cut to 1 5/8 x 2 ¼” (cut 4).  NOTE:  I purchased a repositionable tape runner from Staples that is great for temporarily adhering the blocks until you can get everything lined up and then adhere them permanently.  It saved me a lot of frustration as I can get really fussy about spacing, LOL.   

I used the third from smallest scalloped circle from the bundle and cut it from Hydrangea Hue cardstock.  I adhered this directly to the center of the card.  Then I stamped my sentiment “Thank You” from the bundle onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Hydrangea Hue Ink and punched it out using the 1 ¾” Circle Punch.  Before adhering it to the card I created a bow under it using the Hydrangea Hue Bordered Ribbon and adhered that to the back of the sentiment circle.  With that done I popped the sentiment up on the scalloped circle using Dimensionals.  Finally, I added three of the Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems. 

Now this is a simple yet striking card.  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:

ARROW CENTER FLAP FUN FOLD

Today’s card features the Boutique Blossoms Bundle and the Bloom Boutique Specialty Designer Series Paper.  I saw a this card on Facebook that had been made by Tami White and she was kind enough to offer the instructions to anyone who commented.  I fell in love so I decided to use the same paper but in two different ways to make two different cards and I am loving them.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base for both cards is Hydrangea Hue cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  Mark the center of the top at 2 ¾” and then cut from that mark to the score line on both sides creating your arrow.  Then I cut two Gold Foil mats to 4 x 5 ¼” and marked them at 2 5/8” on the long side and cut them from the mark to the top corner.  Next, I cut two coordinating pieces of the DSP to 5 x 3 7/8” and marked the 5” side at 2 ½” and again cut them from the mark to the top corner.

I used one side of the DSP for the large triangle and then the other DSP for the smaller ones.  Big note here, before you start adhering the gold foil pieces die cut your flowers from them.  If you cut from the center you will not see that it is cut because you are adding DSP on top of them.  I did use a piece of bond paper between the foil and the top cutting plate to prevent them from getting scratched by the plate.  For the Hydrangea Hue flowers I just die cut them from the triangle scraps I cut off the card base.  I grabbed scraps of Peaceful Pine cardstock and die cut my greenery pieces.

Assemble the layers (you may have to adjust a little I had to trim just a smidge off some of the gold pieces) and add to the card.  After the layers were all adhered, I added my flowers and greenery.  I adhered all of the pieces except the Hydrangea Hue rose directly to the arrow center and I popped that Hydrangea Hue Rose up right in the center with Dimensionals.

For the insides I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and mark on the 5” side at 2 5/8” and cut from the mark to the top corner.  I stamped the cute little rose buds from the set onto the inside using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored them with Stampin’ Blends.  I stamped and colored that same little rose bud stamp on the envelope. 

Again, a big thank you to Tami White for being so generous with the instructions.  I really appreciate when people are so great about sharing ideas.

I hope you enjoy these cards I certainly enjoyed making them.  As always you can find the supplies to create these cards 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:

DELICATE DREAMS THANK YOU

Today’s card features the Delicate Dreams 12 x 12” Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Scalloped Wishes Bundle.  Continuing with my quest to use products that were not originally part of a suite but from different offerings I  decided to use this paper and this bundle to create with today.  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 added a layer of Hydrangea Hue cardstock that measures 4 1/8 x 5 3/8” and a layer of the Delicate Dreams Specialty DSP that measures 3 7/8 x 5 1/8”.  Using scraps, I die cut the frame from the Scalloped Wishes Dies twice, once out of Basic White and once out of Secret Sea.  I used just the inside of the white one to stamp my sentiment.  I stamped “With Sincere Thanks” on the right center of the piece using Secret Sea Ink. 

Then I die cut the flowers from the bundle out of scraps of Hydrangea Hue and Secret Sea cardstock, the stems and leave were cut out of scraps of Mossy Meadow cardstock.  To create the center of the flowers I used the 1/8” Circle Punch and punched them out of Basic White cardstock.  I adhered the flowers together and then added them and the stems to the left side of the frame.  Finally, I added three of the Hydrangea Hue butterflies from the 2026 – 2028 In Color Butterflies.

For the inside of the card I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 1/4" and added a small piece 3/4 x 4" of the Delicate Whispers Specialty DSP along the bottom.

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:

RELAXING RIDE

Today’s card features the new Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper.  I wanted to make a simple get well card that would work for either a man or a woman.  I also wanted to show that you can mix products from other suites, like the arch dies and a sentiment from a stamp set or use up some retired items you have like these embellishments.  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 measures 4 x 5 ¼ and a layer of the Waterside Retreat DSP that measures 3 7/8 x 5 1/8”.  I stamped my sentiment “Get well soon” from the Friendly Foliage Stamp Set onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Cajun Craze Ink and then die cut it using the smallest of the Everyday Arches Dies.  I cut a second arch (the second smallest) out of a scrap of Gray Granite cardstock and adhered my sentiment to that.  Then I popped that up on the card using Dimensionals.  I used three embellishments that are from my stash and now retired (remember use what you have).  Like I said, simple, easy and fast to create.

RELAX AND ENJOY

Today’s card features the new Relaxing Waterside Bundle and Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper.  I was a little unsure if I wanted this bundle but a customer ordered it and then when it came in I was intrigued so I ordered it for myself and I am sure glad I did.  I have been having a ton of fun playing around with it.  One sheet of the DSP has cut aparts and I thought I would start there, 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 trimmed the cut apart down to 4 x 5 ¼” and added it to the card base.  Then I put my chair together (it took me a bit to figure it out but I love how it turned out; I will put a photo below with labels for the pieces to make it easier to understand how it goes together).  I cut die #2 out of Night of Navy and then using Hydrangea Hue cardstock I cut a second one (this is so you can get that little board for the front, it makes sense to cut both colors and then just change out the colors so you end up with two chairs).  I cut the back of the chair die #4 and the arms of the chair die #5 out of Hydrangea Hue cardstock.  The little tab at the bottom of the back just slides down in the chair and the single board that is a different color just pops out from between the legs.  The arms just get placed on top of the chair arms and butted up against the back of the chair.

I also die cut the cattails, I cut both die #10 and #11 out of scraps of Mossy Meadow cardstock and again out of Pecan Pie scraps.  I cut the top of the Pecan Pie cattails off and glued them onto the Mossy Meadow ones.  With that all done I simply added my chair and cattails to the card front.  I love that the beautiful paper works so well for this card.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment “Relax” and the seagull from the set onto the front using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  For the inside I simply cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped the larger cattail in Crumb Cake Ink and the smaller one right over top of it in Old Olive Ink.  This was a really quick and simple card to create.  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:
