Hello, Forever Fern

CLEARANCE RACK UPDATE 4.13.2021

Hello!  Today I have a different card for me.  Tell me what you think.  

This card uses the Forever Fern bundle and the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper.

Start with a base of Thick Basic White that is 4 1/4 x 11, score at 5 1/2 and fold.  

Cut the Forever Greenery DSP to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  Glue to the front of the card.  This layer does cover the entire card.  Stamp the word hello on Basic White.  Stamp in Shaded Spruce.  Stamp a lot and cut each with the Stitched Nested Labels.  Cut with the second smallest die.

Arrange these over the front of the card.  Let some of them hang off the front.  Change the orientation of the word.  Add each word with dimensionals.  Cut off any extra even with the card front.

Cut an oval using the Stitched Shapes dies, 2nd largest, from Garden Green.  Glue to the bottom right of the card.  It will cover some the the hellos.   

Stamp the saying from Forever Fern on Basic White in Shaded Spruce.  Cut out with the Stitched Shapes.  Add this to the bottom of the green oval.

Stamp two of the stems.  One is in Pear Pizzazz and the other is in Shaded Spruce.  Cut out with the Forever Flourishing dies.  Glue to the card.  Add a bow of Linen Thread with a glue dot.

For the inside, stamp the stems in the same colors as the front and the saying in Shaded Spruce.  The saying is from the Forever Fern stamp set.

Free Friday Tutorial Baby Pull Toys

It's Friday!  Did you think it would never come?  When you're retired Fridays don't mean as much.  I have a free download for you today using the Baby Pull Toys stamp set.  You may or may not know that I recently got a brand new granddaughter.  So, of course, I bought this set.  I did not create the card I have for you today.

I know you'll want all the details to make this fun card.  So here you go!

Stamp Sets: Baby Pull Toys (#154537)

Cardstock: Real Red (#102482), Bermuda Bay (#131197), Blushing Bride (#131198), Basic White (159276)

Designer Paper: Snail Mail (#154577)

Ink: Real Red (#147084), Bermuda Bay (#147096), Blushing Bride (#147100)

Tools & Accessories: Layering Squares Dies (#151772), Delightful Tag Topper Punch (#149518), Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack (#154579)

 

Measurements:

Card Base: 4 ¼” x 11”

Designer Paper: 5 ¼” x 4”

Strip: 4” x ¾”

Waterfall Strip: 9” x 2”, scored at 2”, 2 ¾”, 3 ½”, and 4 ¼”

Squares: 4 Bermuda Bay 2” squares and 4 Basic White 1 7/8” squares (I used Layering Squares Dies)

 

Instructions:

Glue DSP to card base

Fold Waterfall Strip along the score lines

Punch longest end using Delightful Tag Topper Punch

Fold Waterfall Strip in half and place ¾” strip in the center, even with the top piece (the bottom piece is the strip that has been punched) then glue down the sides of this strip using Stampin’ Seal +. *Note: It is very important that you do not use any adhesive in the middle of this piece!

Glue the top of the Waterfall Piece to the bottom edge of the strip, making sure to center it in the middle of your card.

Attach Baker’s Twine to hole in Waterfall Piece where you will pull it to open.

Stamp images on Basic White squares and glue onto Bermuda Bay squares.

Glue first image to top ¾” panel. Start to pull on string and glue the next square down on the next panel repeating 2 more times.

Once squares are all attached, you should be able to gently pull the string and watch the stamped images flip one at a time.

One Stamp at a Time Blog Hop for April Say What?

Welcome to the One Stamp at a Time Blog Hop for April!  This month we are all about the sentiment.  

I often get all caught up in the decor of a card.  The sentiment might be of less interest.  Let's face it, though, the sentiment is the meat of the card.  It's the why!

I just got some of the new products in my Stampin' Up! preorder and I just had to try out a few things.  If you are not a demonstrator, you can't get these yet unless you decide to join in the fun.  I know this is a teaser, but I can't help it.  All is available on May 4th.  With that said, here is my card.

You might recognize some, or all, of our new In Colors.  They are gorgeous!

My card base is Soft Succulent cut to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and folded at 4 1/4.  Stamp over the front of the card in the same color ink with the largest flower from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set.  When stamping concentrate on the edges of the card front.  If the stems appear a little wonky in the center, don't worry.  The panel will cover that.

For the panel, start by stamping the sentiment in Soft Succulent in the center of your Basic White card stock.  Now cut out with another of our new products called the Scalloped Contours dies.  I used the third one in from the outside.  It has scallops around the outside and beautiful stitching on the inside.  Add using the Foam Adhesive Sheets.  It's so easy and supports the entire panel.

To make our flowers, we'll be using the Flowers and Leaves Punch.  It coordinates with the Flowers of Friendship stamp set to make the Flowers of Friendship bundle.  For the flowers we will use 3 other new In Colors, Pale Papaya, Fresh Freesia, and Polished Pink.  Cut a strip of each color about 1 3/4 inches side.  Stamp each flower in the same color ink.  For the larger flower, stamp with the petals in the shape of a +.  For the smaller flowers, stamp with the petals in an X.  This will help when punching.  Pleasantly I found that the punch will work no matter which petal you have at the top.  Punch multiples of each.  I used them for the front of my card, inside the card, and on my 3D item front and back.  Color in the centers of the flowers with the coordinating Dark Blend.

Place the flowers around the sentiment.  Glue these down.  I did add a few flowers sticking out from behind the panel of the card.  Sometimes I had to trim them to get them to fit.

Stamp the large and small leaves on the new Evening Evergreen in the same color.  Pay attention to how these leaves will need to face in order to punch them out.  I used thin strips of the card stock to feed through the punch.  Fit the leaves wherever you feel they belong.  When done add some dimensionals under part of flowers or leaves that extend beyond the white panel.

Here's the inside of the card.  It's all the new In Colors and the Flowers of Friendship bundle.

For my 3D item, I used the All Dressed Up dies.  Cut 2 of the pocketbook dies in Soft Succulent.  On the large space for each side, stamp the large flower stem in Soft Succulent.

For the flowers on this project, use a Bone Folder to curl the petals.  Add each flower with glue dots.  I started with glue, but that got a little messy.  Add leaves around the flowers.  I decorated the front and the back of the purse the same.  For the front make a tag.  Stamp the sentiment from the Flowers of Friendship on Basic White.  Cut out with the smallest rectangle from the Scalloped Contours dies.  Attach to the purse with glue dots.  Finish up with a bow using the Fresh Freesia In Color Ribbon.  Add with a glue dot.

I have a stash of shred in my cabinets.  They are mostly from the Dollar Tree, but some is from sales I find.  I had this color that matches the Fresh Freesia color pretty well.  My purse is empty, but just think of the things you could place inside.  Possibilities!

At first I didn't think the In Colors would go well together.  Well, they do!  My projects make me think of spring!

I hope you enjoyed this project and peek into our wonderful world of color coming soon!  I think you'll love the Flowers of Friendship bundle, too.  The Scalloped Contours dies are also part of a bundle.

Thanks so much for joining me today.  I would love to be your demonstrator if you don't already have one.  Let me earn your business!
