MOONLIT FLORA CENTER FLIP CARD

Today’s card features the Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper and the Phrases & Frames Stamp Set.  I showcased a card like this using the Violet Dreams DSP on Wednesday but I wanted to show it using a different DSP and color palette to show just how versitile this design is

Here is what I came up with…

And here is the template with all the cutting information. 

 

The card base is Berry Burst cardstock cut to 4 ¼ x 5 ½”.  I cut two pieces of the Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper to 1 x 4” and added them to either side of the card base.  I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 3 x 8 ½” and scored it at 4 ¼”.  I attached this to the center of the card base.  Next, I cut a piece of Berry Burst cardstock to 2 7/8 x 4 1/8” and attached that to my white center.  I added another piece of the DSP to the center that measured 2 ¾ x 4”.  As you can see you can get a lot of drama from just a small amount of DSP with this fold. 

While the template does not show a sentiment layer, I did add one.  I stamped my sentiment “You’re an amazing friend” from the Fern & Flora Stamp Set onto a piece of Basic White cardstock that measured ¾ x 3”.  I stamped it using Berry Burst Ink.  I added this to a piece of Berry Burst cardstock that measured 1 x 3” and attached that to my card.  I added a Rhinestone Basic Jewel that I colored with my Berry Burst Stampin’ Blend, using the markers is a great way to make the clear embellishments coordinate perfectly with your project. 

I wrapped the center flap of the card with Berry Burst Shiny Ribbon that I tied into a square knot.  For the inside of the card, I added the sentiment “Happiest Birthday Wishes!” from the Phrase & Frame stamp set using Berry Burst Ink.  I also stamped one of the cute moths from the Fern & Flora stamp set down in the bottom corner using Berry Burst Ink and then colored it with a Wink of Stella marker before the ink dried to give it that berry burst shine.    

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:

VIOLET DREAMS CENTER FLIP CARD

Today’s card features the new Violet Dreams Designer Series Paper and the Phrases & Frames Stamp Set.  I have made these cards before and have a template for but this one was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest made using the Violet Dreams DSP by Sue Campfield and I wanted to make it using this paper.  Once that was done I made a second one using the beautiful Moonlit Flora DSP that I will show later this week. 

Here is what I came up with…

And here is the template with all the cutting information. 

The card base is Secret Sea cardstock cut to 4 ¼ x 5 ½”.  I cut two pieces of the Violet Dreams Designer Series Paper to 1 x 4” and added them to either side of the card base.  I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 3 x 8 ½” and scored it at 4 ¼”.  I attached this to the center of the card base.  Next, I cut a piece of Secret Sea cardstock to 2 7/8 x 4 1/8” and attached that to my white center.  I added another piece of the DSP to the center that measured 2 ¾ x 4”.  As you can see you can get a lot of drama from just a small amount of DSP with this fold. 

While the template does not show a sentiment layer, I did add one.  I stamped my sentiment “Happiest Birthday Wishes” from the Phrases & Frames Stamp Set onto a piece of Basic White cardstock that measured ¾ x 3”.  I stamped it using Secret Sea Ink which is quickly becoming my favorite ink to work with as it just stamps such a beautifully clear image.  This stamp set is part of a bundle that was inspired by Sue Campfield one of Stampin’ Up!’s Million Dollar Sales Achievers (not typical and obtained by very few).  I added this to a piece of Secret Sea cardstock that measured 1 x 3” and attached that to my card.  I added a Rhinestone Basic Jewel that I colored with my Highland Heather Stampin’ Blend, I love doing this as I can make my own perfectly coordinated embellishments. 

I wrapped the center flap of the card with Secret Sea Bordered Open Weave Ribbon that I tied into a square knot.  For the inside of the card I added the sentiment “May your day be filled with love and happiness” also from that Phrase & Frame stamp set once again using Secret Sea Ink.

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.

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.
