GREATFUL HEART

Today’s card features the new Autumn Leaves Bundle and the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper.  This paper has been very popular and has sold out a number of times since it ways introduced but it is back in stock.  I love the way the Pretty Peacock works with the Pumpkin Pie so I wanted to showcase both in this card. 

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Pretty Peacock cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I then cut pieces of the All About Autumn DSP to 1 1.4 x 3 5/8” (x2) (this is the peacock and copper side) and one to 2 ¼ X 3 5/8” (this is the pumpkin side).  I then cut my Distressed Gold Specialty paper to 1 3/8 x 3 ¾” (x2) and one at 2 3/8 x 3 ¾” and mounted my DSP onto them.  I popped these up on the card base using Dimensionals.  For my sentiment I chose the “with a grateful heart” from the bundle and stamped it in Pretty Peacock onto a scrap of Pumpkin Pie cardstock that I then die cut using one of the dies from the bundle (I love these little label dies that are included in the bundle) and attached it to the left side of the card centered on where the bottom two layers of the DSP meet.  I cut two leaves from scraps of the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper and one from the Soft Shimmer Specialty Paper.  I added the two gold ones at the top of the card and put on a triple Linen Thread bow with a Mini Glue Dot.  The Soft Shimmer one was cut from the Pretty Peacock shimmer paper and it was mounted on a Dimensional and tucked up under my sentiment.  I am loving how these colors play off each other. 

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:

TECHNIQUE TUESDAY - MAKING A MASK

 

Technique Tuesday – Making a Mask (11- 7-2023)

Today’s card features the Translucent Florals Bundle and the use of Window Sheets to create your own masks.  I really like this bundle and the leaf die is perfect for this technique.  I tried to use some bright colors with a nice subtle background.  Here is what I came up with…

Instructions:

Smokey Slate cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”. 

Use Whisper White Ink and a Sponge Dauber to color in the mask you create using the Window Sheet.  

Randomly stamp the little stems from the bundle all over the card front using Smoky Slate Ink. 

On Basic White cardstock stamp two of the leaf stem from the bundle in Parakeet Party Ink and then die cut and popped up on the card with Dimensionals. 

Stamp Happy Birthday sentiment from the bundle onto Basic White cardstock using Bubble Bath ink and then die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies.  Cut Bubble Bath Ribbon from the Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack cut approximately 3” long and add to the back of the sentiment label and popped up on the card with Dimensionals. 

Add three white dots from the Classic Matte Dots. 

Basic White cardstock cut to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped with the little stem in Smokey Ink for the inside of the card.

HORSE & SLEIGH BRIDGE CARD

Today’s card features two great online exclusive products the Horse & Sleigh Bundle and the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper.  These new products have been a delight to work with.  They coordinate so well with one another it is like the cards make themselves.  Today I wanted to make a bridge card here is what I came up with…

The card base is Night of Navy cardstock cut to 4 ¼ x 8” scored at 1 ¼ and 2 ½” from each of the two sides.  Then it is folded in a mountain, valley, valley, mountain fold (this allows it to stand up nice for presentation).  To this I added my Designer Series Paper that is from the One Horse Open Sleigh paper pack.  I used two pieces of the DSP that were the same but you could simply use some embossed cardstock for the two inside panels.  I started by cutting my 6 x 6” piece down to 4” tall (save one of these pieces for the bridge).  Then I cut a 1 x 4”, 1 x 4”, 2 ¾ x 4” from paper 1 and then two additional 1 x 4” from paper 2.  I adhered those to my card base.    

For my bridge I cut a piece of Night of Navy cardstock that was 1 ¼” x 5 ½”.  I adhered this even with each end of my card (the card should stand open as shown and fold flat for mailing).  I took some of that leftover DSP from the previous cuts (I had cut it off the bottom of the DSP so it was primarily snow) and cut it down to 1 1/8 x 5 3/8” and adhered that to my bridge.  So that is the base for the card.

Next, I stamped my horse and sleigh from the bundle onto Basic White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and cut it out using the coordinating die from the bundle.  I colored it using the Stampin’ Blends listed below (note: I did not use the Bronze just the ivory from that set) and added it to my bridge using Dimensionals.  For the back of my card, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock that measured 2 ¾ x 4” and I stamped the sentiments “WISHING YOU A Season of Cheer” and “AND A happy new year” onto it using Night of Navy ink.  This gave me a place to sign my card as there is no where to do that on the front.

MAKE YOUR OWN DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

Today’s card features the Translucent Florals Bundle.  This bundle is a lot of fun to work with and I really love how it stamps onto vellum for an even bigger punch.  When I started this card I had not yet received the beautiful new Delightful Floral 12 x 12” Designer Series Paper that in an online exclusive offering and that coordinates with the bundle so I decided I would make my own background.

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Poppy Parade cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I stamped one of the floral images from the bundle all over it using Poppy Parade Ink for a tone on tone affect (this became my DSP).  Next, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock using the second largest of the Deckled Rectangles Dies (I am really using these as well as the deckled circle dies because they are both so versatile and they have so many different sizes in them).  I took the stem stamp from the bundle and stamped two stems in Garden Green Ink then I stamped the largest flower in Berry Burst Ink at the top of one stem and stamped the medium sized flower at the top of the other stem in Poppy Parade Ink.  I stamped the double leaf about half way down the stem in Garden Green Ink.  I added this layer to the card using Dimensionals.  

To give the card more interest and movement I took some scrap pieces of Vellum and stamped the largest flower from the stamp set in Berry Burst, the medium flower in Poppy Parade and the double leaf in Garden Green onto it.  I let the ink dry (you need to be patient here or grab your heat tool to dry it or it will smear) and then die cut the three pieces.  I used my bone folder to curl the pieces to give some look of movement and added them with Mini Glue dots right over the stamped images. 

To finish off my card I stamped the sentiment “YOU’RE THE BEST” onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Berry Burst Ink and die cut it using the Stylish Shapes Dies and I added that right over the ends of my stems using Dimensionals.  I added three of the 2022 – 2024 In Color Dots to the front of the card.  For the inside of the card, I added a Basic White cardstock layer that measured 4 x 5 ¼” that I had stamped the medium size flower on using Poppy Parade Ink.  I also stamped that same flower onto the envelope again in Poppy Parade. 

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:
