STAMPIN’ UP! BRUSHED WITH BEAUTY FUN - CARDS 1 & 2

Today I wanted to make a point that you can have a lot of fun with beautiful new Designer Series Paper without buying a whole suite collection.  When Stampin’ Up! released this Brushed With Beauty DSP I was instantly in love.  However, I was not looking to buy a bunch of new products so I decided to purchase just the DSP and create with what I already had on hand.  So I grabbed one piece of 12 x 12” DSP and a little scrap from a second piece and set out to do just that.  I ended up with 8 cards and I love them all.  I will be sharing all of them throughout this week.  Here are the first two I came up with…

CARDS 1 & 2

  

Card Base: Basic White cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”. 

Layers: Old Olive cardstock cut to 3 ¾ x 5”, scrap punched out using Banner Sayings Punch and then cut to layer behind sentiment and a piece cut to 1 ½ x 3 ¾” for side 2 of DSP

DSP:  3 ½ x 4 ¾” and side #2 1 ¼ x 3 ½”

Sentiment:  Banner Sayings Bundle, stamped on white scrap with Old Olive Ink and punched out with coordinating punch

Embellishments: Card 1, Linen Thread Bow; Card 2, Pearls of Beauty Embellishment

Inside:  Basic White 4 x 5 ¼ and scrap of extra DSP ½ x 4”

As you can see these cards are super cute, were easy to make and did a great job of using the Designer Series Paper as the inspiration for year.  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:

BRUSHED WITH BEAUTY DSP AND PETAL PINK

Today’s card features the Brushed with Beauty Designer Series Paper, the Banner Sayings Bundle and the Nature’s Symphony Stamp Set.  I wanted a card that really highlighted the beauty of this designer series paper and made it the focal point.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Crumb Cake cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I cut a layer of Petal Pink cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and embossed it using the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and added it to the front of my card base.  I then cut a piece of the Brushed with Beauty DSP to 3 x 4” and then cut that down to three 1 x 4” strips (keep them in order so the pattern flows nicely on the card).  I mounted those onto a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock that measured 3 ¼ x 4 1/8” and then added that to the center of my card using Dimensionals.

To finish off the front of the card I stamped the sentiment “Sending my love” from the Banner Sayings Bundle onto a scrap of Petal Pink cardstock using Calypso Coral Ink and then punched it out with the coordinating banner punch from the bundle.  I also punched out a second banner from a scrap of Crumb Cake cardstock and added that behind the sentiment with the right side sticking out about a quarter of an inch.  I added that to the front of the card, (remember though you can use any sentiment stamp you have on hand and a die, a punch or simply cut a rectangle and stamp it).  I also added three of the Pearls of Beauty Embellishments to the front of the card. 

For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to x 5 ¼” and stamped two of the little foliage stamps from the Nature’s Symphony Stamp Set (you could use any stamp you have in your stash for this) onto it with Calypso Coral Ink.  I stamped one first generation and one second generation (just means I didn’t re-ink the stamp between uses).  I did this same thing to the front of the envelope.

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:

SEASON OF ELEGNCE MEETS NATURE’S SYMPHONY

Today’s card features the Nature’s Symphony Bundle and Season of Elegance Designer Series Paper supported by the Everyday Arches Dies.  I love all three of these products so it was easy to see how they would work together.  I saw a card much like this on Pintrest and immediately knew it would be great for my card class this month. 

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Mossy Meadow cardstock cut to 4 ¼ x 11” and scored at 5 ½”.  I cut a layer of Old Olive cardstock to 4 x 5 ½” and spritzed it lightly with the Stampin' Spritzer (this helps keep the cardstock from ripping) and then I embossed it using the Lovely Stripes 3D Embossing Folder and after it was embossed, I cut it down to 5 ¼”.  The reason for this is that the embossing folder causes some changes to the length of the piece (my guess is because of all the raised areas) so it was not working out right if I cut it to 4 ¼” before embossing.  I added this layer to my card base.

Then I cut a piece of the new Natural Hues 12 x 12” Specialty Paper to 2 x 5 ¼”, stamped it all over using image #6 from the bundle (see below) with Old Olive Ink.  Then I tore it right along the right side all the way down (I find tearing it towards me give me the best effect).  I attached this layer about 1/8” from the right side of the card front.  On top of this I added a 3 x 4 ¼” piece of the Season’s of Elegance Designer Series Paper (I chose the old olive colored one) to the center. 

I die cut image #3 from the Nature’s Symphony Dies (see above) out of a piece of Old Olive cardstock and out of a piece of Gold Foil 12 x 12” Specialty Paper that were each about 3 1/2 x 4 1/4".  I attached the gold layer to the top of the old olive layer just off setting it a little bit and then added both to the front of my card.  For my sentiment I used the smallest of the Everyday Arches Dies to cut an arch from a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock and then using the Friendly Foliage Stamp Set I stamped the sentiment “Thinking of You” onto it using Old Olive Ink and added that to the front of my card using Dimensionals. 

I finished off the front of the card with three of the Low-Profile Sparkle Dots which are currently in the Last Chance sales.  For the inside I cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped image #7 from the stamp set (see above) with Old Olive Ink twice, once first generation and then again second generation (just means I didn’t reink the stamp before stamping the second time).  I did this same thing to the front of my envelope. 

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:

NATURE’S SYMPHONY FUN FOLD

Today’s card features the Nature’s Symphony Bundle and the Nature Walk Designer Series Paper.  I will throw in some gold heat embossing and some Pretty Peacock cardstock to round it out.  I fell in love with both the bundle and the paper as soon as I saw them so I knew I wanted to use them for my upcoming card class.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Pretty Peacock cardstock cut to 4 ¼ x 9 ¾” and scored at 5 ½”.  I cut my Nature Walk Designer Paper to 4 x 4” and 1 ¼” x 4”and added heat embossing before attaching them to the card base.  I began by stamping using the Nature’s Symphony Bundle, I started with image #7 (see below) on the piece of DSP that measured 1 ¼ x 4” using VersaMark Ink and then adding Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (I used the gold) on it and heat embossing.  Then I stamped two of image #5 and image #6 (see below) onto the 4 x 4” DSP again with VersaMark Ink and again embossed using the gold embossing powder.  With that done I added the 4 x 4” piece to the front of the card and the 1 ¼ x 4” piece to the right side of the inside of the card. 

Then I used the dies from the bundle to cut image #3 (see below) out of a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock that measured about 3 1/2 x 4 1/4".  I added it to the front of my card using Mini Dimensionals.  I grabbed a scrap of Pretty Peacock cardstock and stamped the sentiment “You Make Me Smile” onto it using VersaMark Ink and again embossed it using the gold embossing powder.  I then punched it out using the 1 ¾” Circle Punch.  I added this to a Gold Foil circle I punched out using the 2” Circle Punch. 

For the inside I cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock to 4 x 4” and stamped the corner of it using image #7 (see above) and Pretty Peacock Ink.  I stamped it once and then a second time second generation (meaning without adding any additional ink to the stamp).  I did the same stamping on my envelope to coordinate it.  

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:
