Hand-Penned Memories & More Cards & Envelopes

The Hand-Penned Suite is gorgeous!  If you love flowers, you will definitely want the products found on pages 104-105 of our new catalog.  It's flower heaven!  Today I'm using the Hand-Penned Memories & More Cards & Envelopes.  This package has 20 cards and envelopes for $10.  They are just so pretty, and great quality, and a great bargain.  They're also featured on page 127.  Today I have a simple layered card using the Scalloped Contours dies.  These are another must have for sure.

The cards in this pack have a beautiful Pool Party dot pattern on the front.  The envelopes are a Pale Papaya stripe.  The envelope flap is  one of the floral patterns from the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper.

Using the Second largest rectangle from the Scalloped Contours dies, cut a layer from the Pool Party brushed looking paper from the Fine Arts Designer Series Paper.  Cut the smallest rectangle from die set from the center of this layer.  

The next layer is the dotted Pale Papaya paper from the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper.  Use the 3rd largest rectangle.  Wrap a length of the Pale Papaya Ribbon around this layer.  Make a bow to add later.

Now is the time to use the smallest rectangle cut from the Pool Party layer.  Stamp the saying from the Color & Contour stamp set in Misty Moonlight.  Add this layer over the ribbon.  Add that bow with glue dots.

Finish the card with some of the Artistry Blooms Adhesive Backed Sequins.

Add the layers to the base of the card with dimensionals.

Here's the inside of the card.  The saying is from the Art Gallery stamp set.  I added a few strips of the paper used on the front along the bottom.  The one inch strip down the side of from one of the cards from the Memories & More Card Pack.

Luv 2 Stamp Blog Hop Quiet Meadow Bundle

Welcome to the Luv 2 Stamp Blog Hop. 

This group is part of Patty Bennett's Luv 2 Stamp group of stampers.  More about joining Stampin' Up! at the end!  Be sure to look for it.  You may be beginning here for the hop, but you'll want to see everyone.  Each of the hoppers will showcase some of the new products from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.  We love new stuff and we love passing along a few tips to help you be successful when stamping.  You may have come from Jason's blog post.  I love that necklace box!  Don't you!  I'm so glad you are here and can get to know the new catalog a little better!

I chose to use the Quiet Meadow bundle with the Meadow dies.  I also used the Scalloped Contours dies.

For the first card, I created a monochromatic card using Gray Granite.  I love all the stamps in the set.  They are perfect for making easy backgrounds.

This card starts with a Gray Granite base that is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and folded at 4 1/4.  For the base, stamp the long stamp with words a few times at the top and the bottom.  Add the flowers at end corner.  The center of the card will be covered so don't worry about how that looks.  We are using Basic Gray ink.

Stamp the Basic White layer with the words as well.  I stamped down the whole layer.  Add some of the dots around the edges and some of the single flowers.  This layer measures 3 1/2 x 4 3/4.  Use a Blending Brush to add a little shading around the outside of the layer.  Add to the base at an angle.

The Gray Granite layer is from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper.  It is cut out using the Scalloped Contours dies.  I used the 2nd largest rectangle die.  Stamp this layer the same.  I did stamp off.  For a few of the dots I did not stamp off.

Cut out the flower from Basic White.  Back the card stock with some of the Adhesive Sheets.  Stamp the flower with the words and use a Blending Brush to add just a little shading.  Pull the adhesive backing from the flower and add to the card.  It becomes a sticker so it's easy to adhere.  Trim the stem.

Add a length of the Basic Gray twine from the Well Suited Twine Combo Pack.  I like to tape from the back.  Add some of the Foam Adhesive Sheets to the back or dimensionals.  Add the layer to the card front straight.

Add the saying, die in the Meadows dies, and a bow from the gray twine.

This is my second card.  This card has a base of Thick Basic White 4 1/4 x 11, score and fold at 5 1/2.

I used the In Good Taste DSP for this card as well.  The first layer is cut to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 to cover the entire front.  Glue.  The bottom piece is 1 x 4 1/4.  Add along the bottom.  The vase is punched with the Jar Punch.  This paper is also from the In Good Taste.  Use a Blender Brush to add a little Night of Navy ink to soften the white.  Add a length of the Night of Navy twine from the Well Suited pack around the top.  Add some of the Foam Adhesive Sheet to the back and add to the center of the card.

Cut two of the leaves stem from Evening Evergreen.  I did cover the back of the card stock with Adhesive Sheets.  Add one coming from the upper right.  Trim the stem just below the jar and stick it under.  Do the same for the second leaf stem.  You might have to cut off part of it.  Just relocate.

Cut three of the flower stems from Basic White with an Adhesive Sheet backing.  Color these stems using Blending Brushes and Sponge Daubers.  I used Soft Succulent, Polished Pink, Fresh Freesia, and Night of Navy.  After coloring the flowers, spray with a spritzer filled with water.  Allow to dry.  This will add a little interest.

Add butterflies that have been colored with dimensionals.

Add the tag and a bow of Night of Navy twine.

Here is the video showing how to make these cards.

 

Kurstan is up next!  She has great ideas!

Very Versailles and a Color Challenge

Welcome to the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge #662.  It's a color challenge using the colors Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, and Soft Succulent.

I haven't used the Very Versailles stamp set in a long time and decided to pull it out.  This set is really a classic.  Here is my card.

The base of this card is Soft Succulent.  I love this color.  Of course I do.  Green is my signature color, I guess, since my house is painted mostly green.  This color is certainly succulent!  Cut it to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and fold at 4 1/4.

The layer of Cajun Craze is cut to 3 7/8 x 5 1/8.

The next layer is Basic White measuring 3 3/4 x 5.  Here is where all the action takes place.

I started out stamping the words in the background using stamped off Cajun Craze ink.  I decided it needed softening so I pulled out my Blending Brush and began to add Cajun Craze ink.  Get a little of the extra ink off of the brush on scrap paper.  Start off the edge.  I hit mainly the corners.  Remember that you can always add more ink.  It's practically impossible to take it away.

Add the branches in Soft Succulent ink.

Run some of the Soft Succulent Ribbon around the white layer and attach with tape on the back.  Make a bow and set aside.

Use the Stitched So Sweetly dies to cut out the sentiment layer.  I actually stamped the image first in Crushed Curry and added the saying in Soft Succulent before I cut it out.  That way you can really center the image on the layer.  I felt the white was too stark and added a faint bit of Cajun Craze with leftover ink on my Blending Brush.

Add the later with dimensionals and the bow with glue dots.

Add a few of the green Genial Gems.  You'll have to have these gems!

For the inside stamp pretty much the same as the outside.  Placement is a little different.  The sentiment is part of the Very Versailles stamp set.

From May 4th until June 14th you can earn extra Host Rewards.  All you need to do is have an order of $250 or more.  Enjoy getting free stuff!

Facebook Live 5.5.2021 Inspired Thoughts

Hello, hello!  I'm so glad you are here today.  For my Facebook Live today, we took a walk through the catalog.  I tried to point out some information to help you navigate our catalog.  It's so awesome and beautiful, but there are a few things you just might miss.

Next I showed the fantastic Basic Borders dies.  They are definitely something you need, but you could miss them.  I made a card using those dies and the Inspired Thoughts bundle.   You'll also like the Inspiring Canopy dies.  Here's the card.

The base of this card is Thick Basic White that is cut to 4 1/4 x 11.  Score and fold at 5 1/2.  Use the rick-rack die from the Basic Borders dies to cut off about an inch from the bottom of the front.

Add a piece of Old Olive designer paper from the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper that is 1 1/4 x 4 1/4 to the bottom of the inside.

In the Basic Border dies, there is one that looks like clouds.  Cut this from a scrap.  Use it to make the clouds using Misty Moonlight pad and a Blending Brush.  It's so easy.

The trees are cut all in one piece using the Inspiring Canopy dies.  Glue to the card with the trunks of the trees going below the border.  Trim to match.  These are cut from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper.

Cut four of the larger canopies and one of the smaller ones from Old Olive.  Add the mini dimensionals to the back and adhere.

Cut the sun from Daffodil Delight.  The die is part of the Inspiring Canopy dies.

Stamp the Hello in Early Espresso.

Wrap Linen Thread around the card two times and tie into a know.  Add a bow with dimensionals.

For the inside, the saying is from the Inspired Thoughts set.  Cut the trees from designer paper from the Beauty of the Earth pack.

Here is the Facebook Live video.
