DEBOSSED 3D SUNFLOWERS

Today’s card features the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder.  I have to say I am so happy I finally got this embossing folder.  I have wanted it for a long time but it just keep going out of stock and now that I have played with it I can see why.  One of the best parts of this folder is that you can emboss two card fronts at the very same time because it is so large.  I had seen were some of the other demonstrators had played around using ink to enhance the embossed image so I decided to give that a whirl.

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Night of Navy cardstock cut to 4 ¼ x 11” and scored at 5 ½”.  I then cut a layer of the pretty new Cloud Cover cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and set it aside.  Then I cut a second piece of the Cloud Cover cardstock to 3 ¾ x 5” and I embossed this one.  So here is where I left the path that I would normally follow, instead of inking the embossed side I decided to ink the debossed side.  So, to explain that think of the sunflowers being sunk into the cardstock on the debossed side rather than raised up on the embossed side. 

With the debossed side up (on scrap paper because this is a little on the messy side) I grabbed my Night of Navy Ink Pad and tipped it so just one edge was hitting the paper and I dragged it across the debossed side of the layer.  It is important to use a light hand here as you can add additional ink if you need to but there is no way to remove ink if you go to heavy handed.  Once I was satisfied with the coloring, I simply set my piece aside and allowed it to dry so it would be easier to work with and so I wouldn’t have ink everywhere (you can speed this up by using the lower setting on your heat emboss gun to aid in drying). 

While I was waiting for my piece to dry, I grabbed a small piece of Cloud Cover cardstock that was ½ x 3” and stamped my sentiment “Happy Birthday” from the Simply Said Stamp Set onto it with Night of Navy Ink.  Once I was happy that my ink was dried, I attached my debossed sunflowers to the 4 x 5 ¼” layer of Cloud Cover cardstock and popped that whole layer up on my cardbase using Dimensionals.  I then used additional Dimensionals and popped up my sentiment.  This was really a nice and easy 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:

FLORALS IN BLOOM THANK YOU

Today’s card features the Florals In Bloom Designer Series Paper, Impressions Abloom Stamp Set, Pretty Florals Dies and the Nested Essentials Dies.  I just love the bright colors in this Designer Series Paper and really wanted to highlight two of them which are Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger.  Both these colors are new 2025 – 2027 In Colors and I just love them.

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Timid Tiger cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I added a layer of the beautiful Florals In Bloom Designer Series Paper that measured 4 x 5 ¼”.  I then die cut second largest of the Nested Essentials Dies out of a piece of the Timid Tiger cardstock and the third largest of the dies out of Basic White cardstock.  While I was die cutting I went ahead and cut out three each of the flowers from the Pretty Florals Dies in both Timid Tiger and Darling Duckling.  I also cut out three each (I love that these dies are made to cut three at a time) of the little bottoms of the flowers.  I also die cut one of the triple stems and leaves dies out of Granny Apple Green cardstock.  (Note: all the flower pieces and stems were cut out of scraps of cardstock).  I adhered the smaller Darling Duckling pieces to the larger Timid Tiger flowers and the smaller Timid Tiger pieces to the larger Darling Duckling Pieces.  Next, I stamped my sentiment “Thanks” onto the center right of my Basic White die cut using Timid Tiger ink and attached it to the larger Timid Tiger die cut image and then centered that onto my card front.  Now it was time to add the flowers so I attached two of the Darling Duckling flowers and one of the Timid Tiger flowers to the stems I had die cut and then added the whole thing onto my card.  For a final embellishment I added three of the Darling Duckling Flat Pearls that are from the 2025 – 2027 In Color Flat Pearls Embellishments.

For the inside of the card I added a piece of Basic White cardstock that measures 4 x 5 ¼” and one of each of the Timid Tiger and Darling Duckling flowers.  For the envelope I added the final of the three Timid Tiger flowers.

PRAIRIE GRASS SYMPATHY

Today’s card features the new Prairie Grass stamp set and the Textured Notes Dies.  I also used some Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper, the Peace On Earth Stamps and the Sheperd’s Care Stamp Set.  Sympathy cards are one of those cards everyone needs to have on hand and yet we tend not to.  I always struggle with what to make so I am very happy with the simplicity of this card and the message it sends.

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Garden Green cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I added a layer of Basic Beige that starts out about 4 ¼ x 5 ½” and is then die cut using the largest of the Textured Notes Dies (cut two, one for the front and one for the inside).  I then cut a piece of the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper to 3 ½ x 5” and die cut it using the second largest of the Textured Notes Dies.  Once it was die cut, I stamped the largest of the images from the Prairie Grass Stamp onto it using Mossy Meadow Ink (I did stamp it off a little from the bottom and left side).  Next, I stamped the sentiment “With Deepest Sympathy” from the Peace on Earth Stamp set onto the front also with Mossy Meadow Ink.

For the inside I used that second piece of Basic Beige cardstock I die cut and I stamped the sentiment “He heels the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalms 147:3)” onto it also with Mossy Meadow Ink.  For the envelope I stamped the little grass image from the Prairie Grass Stamp Set onto it with Mossy Meadow Ink.  There you have it a simple yet meaningful Sympathy card.

BEAUTIFUL MOTIFS IN BLACKBERRY BLISS AND BUBBLE BATH

Today’s card features the Beautiful Motifs Dies and the Damask Designs Embossing Folder.  I saw a card on Pinterest that was created by Laura Seki and I decided to give it a whirl.  I changed the colors a little and added some blending and I was very happy with the result.

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 cut a strip of Blackberry Bliss cardstock to 1 ¾ x 5 ½” and embossed it using the Damask Designs Embossing Folder.  I took a Sponge Dauber and some Craft Stampin Ink and added just a little of the white ink to the raised embossed damask images (I really like the look).  I added this to the left side of the front of my card base.  Next, I cut a piece of Bubble Bath cardstock to 3 ¼ x 4 ½” and being careful not to place the die close to the edges I die cut one of the floral images from the die set out of the center and set it aside to use later.  Then I cut a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock to 3 x 4 ¼” and again being careful to stay away from the edge that would be seen I die cut one more of the floral images out of the center and set them aside to use later. 

I often die cut things out of the center of cardstock that I am going to be layering.  You can’t see the cuts and it is a cost-effective way to get more out of your cardstock.  Next, I cut a piece of Basic White to 2 ¾ x 4” and I die cut the leaf image (this image does not cut completely out) across the piece.  I then used a Sponge Dauber and some Bubble Bath Ink and I just sponged a little ink on and around the cut image to add some interest.  I also lifted some of the leaves up just a little.  With all three of these layers cut I went ahead and attached them to one another and then attached that panel to the card base using Dimensionals. 

I added one each of the floral pieces I had cut from the Bubble Bath and Blackberry Bliss layers to the front of the panel.  For embellishments I chose to add three of the Loose Frosted Dots and since I didn’t have the right color of twine (I wanted Bubble Bath) I simply took a piece of the white twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack and colored it with my Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends Marker (I used the dark).

HEARTFELT PRAYERS

Today’s card once again features the Peace on Earth Bundle along with the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper and the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder.  As you can tell I am really enjoying all the components of this collection.  I decided to make a card that was all about blue and white and here is what I came up with…

The card base is Misty Moonlight cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I then cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and embossed it with the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder before attaching it to the base.  Next, I cut the largest of the labels in the bundle out of a scrap of Misty Moonlight cardstock and the smaller of the two out of Basic White cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment “Heartfelt Prayers” onto the white label using Misty Moonlight Ink.  I attached the white label to the misty moonlight label and then attached both to the center of the card using Dimensionals.  I added two of the doves, one large and one smaller to the front of the card and at the corners of the sentiment using Dimensionals.   (I had cut them out of a piece of the blue glimmer paper from the Peaceful Garden Glimmer paper that measured 4 x 5 ¼”.  I stayed ¼” away from the edge so I could use the glimmer paper I cut things out of for layer on another card.  I got 3 small and 2 large doves out of it)

For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and attached one of the smaller glimmer doves to it.  This was yet another fast and easy card to create.
