Artful Amaryllis Two Step Stamping

I hope you are enjoying the products from the new 2024 September-December Mini Catalog.  Last time I shared  a card using the Artful Amaryllis bundle.  I put together the flowers using the dies.  Today I have another card using the bundle.  This time we are stamping the flowers and then cutting using the dies.

I'm loving this too.  It's so easy to make those flowers.

The base of this card is Mossy Meadow.  It measures 4 1/4 x 11.  Score and fold at 5 1/2.  

This card does have lots of layers.  Let's go over them.

Cut a layer of Cherry Cobbler 3 5/8 x 4 7/8.  Next, you'll need a layer of patterned paper from the Seasons of Green & Gold Specialy Designer Series Paper.  It measures 3 1/2 x 4 3/4.

We'll cut a tag using the Greetings of the Season dies.  By the way, you'll find these dies and the Seasons of Green & Gold designer paper mentioned in our Online Exclusives.  The tag is cut from the plaid paper in that paper pack.

Glue all of these layers together.

Stamp the large flower stamp in Memento ink on a piece of Basic White.  Now you'll just fill in the parts of the flower with stamps.  It's easy to fit these right into the correct space since the stamps are photopolymer.  The stems has two parts.  One is up above the flower.  I used Lemon Lime Twist.  For the flowers stamp in Cherry Cobbler.  The stamps themselves put the various shades of the color in there.  It's like magic!  Cut the flower using the coordinating Artful Amaryllis dies.  Add to the center of the tag with dimensionals.

Stamp the sentimen from the stamp set on Basic White.  Cut this out with the Unbounding Love dies.  Add with dimensionals.

There's just a few more things.  The Drusy Embellishments add a little bling.  Make a bow with the Cherry Cobbler & Gold Satin Ribbon.  Add the bow with a glue dot.

Such a pretty card.  This can be a Christmas card or just for someone special as it says.  Any sentiment could be used.  If you want to see the card I shared earlier, scroll down or go here.  I think you'll see that this bundle can be very versatile.

Thanks for your time!  It is appreciated.  I do sell these supplies.  Products linked below.  You might also want to try this layout with other products.  If you do please share them with me.

Adoring Hearts CASE From Page 128 of the Annual Catalog0

I feel like I've been a little down on my mojo the last week or two.  When that happens, I go to one of the to give me a little inspiration.  As I was flipping through the card on page 128 caught my eye. 

This is what I saw in my mind.

A lot has changed from the first card, but all is fair when you CASE a card.  That means Copy and Share Everything.  First of all, I decided to make a Book Fold card.  That's because the formation of the hearts is actually a square, or close to it.  The Thick Basic White is cut to 4 1/4 x 11, score at 5 1/2 and again at 6 3/4. Fold the card in half and then fold back on the other score line.  Glue the small space to the inside of the card.

I used the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder to dress up the card a bit.  For the spine, you'll need Basic White card stock that is 1 1/8 x 4 1/8.  For the front a 4 1/8 x 4 1/8 inch piece will do the trick.  Glue these layers in place.

The Iridescent Stripped Ribbon is not available as of this writing.  SU expects it around August 5th.  I would take a look a little before and after to catch it in stock.  With the holidays getting some attention, this ribbon could sell out again quickly.  Tie this ribbon around the spine of the card and into a pretty bow.

Taking a little cue from the ribbon, I decided to use Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather, Bubble Bath, and Basic White for my hearts.  Take the hybrid folder and the dies.  Use that large die with the heart cut outs.  Place the die inside the folder and place until you feel the die has clicked in place.  The cutting edge will be up.  Use scraps of card stock to place over 4 of the hearts right on top of the die.  Think about the designs you would like to use.  Cut using the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine.  For this card you'll need the regular size machine.

Since the ribbon has a glimmer to it, I wanted to make my hearts glimmer.  Out came the Wink of Stella.  I was careful to get it down in the crevices.  Add the Wink to all four of the hearts.  Glue the hearts to the card front.

Mind you, Stampin' Up! does have some glimmer paper.  I didn't have it.  Take a look at the 2024-2026 In Color Glimmer Paper.  This is something you could try.  I'm not sure how the designs would turn out.  If you know, leave a comment on this post. Let the world know!

The saying is from the Unbounded Love stamp set.  Stamp in Fresh Freesia on a white scrap.  Trim around using Paper Snips.  Add to the heart with glue dots.

Finish the card with some Tinsel Gems Three Pack Freesia embellishments.

For the inside, the saying is again from Unbounded Love.  I added another heart in white.  I had an extra on my table.

There you go.  I thank you for your time today.  This is a pretty easy card to make.  The hearts can all be cut at once.  I hope you'll try it.  Take a trip through the catalog and find a card you would like to CASE!

Flight and Airy Designer Series Paper for Sale-a-Bration

I think the Flight and Airy Designer Series Paper is by far the most popular Sale-a-Bration offering.  I have a wonderful easy fun fold for you today.  If you don't have this paper, time is running out!  This is the last day!!!

The base of this card is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score the card at 2 1/8 and 4 1/4.  Use Misty Moonlight card stock.  Fold the card in half and use a Bone Folder.  At the next score line fold the card back.  Make sure that each fold is straight and that you use a Bone Folder.

Here's a picture of the card open.

There are a lot of layers here, but they aren't necessary.  I have a layer of Boho Blue under all of the other layers.  That could be eliminated.  IF so, use the measurements for the Boho Blue.

The first two sections of the card have the same measurements.  The Boho Blue is 2 x 5 3/8.  You need 2.  The top layer is from the Flight and Airy DSP.  The measurement is 1 7/8 x 5 1/4.  Again, you'll need 2 of these.

For the first section that will be on the front of the card, I used the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder.  This folder may make a few places look white, but it really just adds to the effect.  Glue down all of these layers.

For the far right of the card cut a piece of Boho Blue that is 2 1/4 x 5 3/8.  Cut a piece of the Flight and Airy paper that is 2 1/8 x 5 1/4.  Glue the two layers.

For the remaining area, cut a piece of Boho Blue that is 1 3/4 x 5 3/8 and a piece of Basic White that is 1 5/8 x 5 1/4.  Stamp the sentiment in Misty Moonlight from the Quiet Reflection stamp set.

Let's work on the focal point of the card.  Cut the fancy circle die from the Thoughtful Expressions dies in Misty Moonlight.  Use the second largest die.  Run this cut out through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder.  Using the second die and the next 3rd die, cut again from Misty Moonlight.  This will make a frame.  Glue this on the first cut out.  

Cut the second largest die again using the Flight and Airy designer paper.  Glue this piece inside the frame.

This cut out will be glued to the front folded back flap.  Watch how you glue as part of the cut out will stick beyond the fold and should not be attached.

Stamp the saying from Quiet Reflection on a 1/2 inch strip of Basic White in Misty Moonlight.  Trim ends and add to the cut out.

If you wish cut out some of the flowers from the designer paper and glue to the card.

Here are two of the cards.  The first one here uses the Nested Friends.  This stamp set and die set can be found in the Online Exclusives now.

I hope you'll try this card.  It is gorgeous in person!  Thanks for your time today.  Sale-a-Bration ends on February 29th.  There are some great choices for free with a $50 or $100 purchase.  Ask me please if you need any help with this.

A Quiet Reflection Card

I have a feeling that the Quiet Reflection stamp set on page 63 of the January-April Mini is not one of the more popular ones.  It's not upbeat.  But it is so needed.  We all have times when we need that touch of God to arrive right in our mailbox.  This is that set.

I know that very few actually read what I write here.  Connection with others is so important.  I just want to make a difference for someone.  Please excuse me.  I'll move on.

The base of this card is Lost Lagoon 4 1/4 x 11, scored and folded at 5 1/2.

The next layer is Pretty Peacock 3 3/4 x 5.

The designer paper is the Bright & Beautiful 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper measuring 3 5/8 x 4 7/8.  Glue all of that together.

Cut the largest fancy circular die from the Thoughtful Expressions dies from Pretty Peacock card stock.

On a piece of Basic White, stamp the larger image from the Quiet Reflection stamp set.  I stamped from ink pad to stamp directly.  Stamp with the Lost Lagoon pad first.  Turn the stamp upward and then stamp the top half with the pad.  Try to stamp straight.  Now stamp the Pretty Peacock pad on the bottom half of the stamp.  Be sure that the Peacock pad overlaps the Lost Lagoon a little bit.  Stamp.  Cut the image out with the second largest fancy circle.

To secure the Lost Lagoon ribbon, put a row of Seal on the back of the cut out straight across the middle.  Add ribbon.  Turn over the cutout and bring the ribbon over to the side of the cutout.  Tie the ribbon into a bow.

Put dimensionals directly on the Pretty Peacock cutout avoiding the ribbon so that the white cutout will lie flat.  Add the white cutout to the center of the peacock.  I found it necessary to retie the bow.  You may not.  Glue the labels to the card base.

Stamp the saying on a half inch strip of Basic White and trim the ends.  Stamp in Pretty Peacock ink.  Add with dimensionals to the bottom of the card front.

Color some of the Sale-a-Bration Opaque Faceted Gems with a Dark Pretty Peacock Blend and allow to dry.  Add to the card.

This is how I completed the inside of the card.  I stamped a saying from Quiet Reflection and stamped the top half of the large stamp.

This card won't take a lot of time.  It will mean so much to someone though.  

I appreciate your time today.  I love to share what I make for others.  I hope you found it useful.  Have a wonderful day.

Detailed Dogwood Sale-a-Bration in Black and White

I think a black and white card is just classy.  The Detailed Dogwood stamp set is a free choice for Sale-a-Bration here in the US with a $100 purchase.  I can see a lot of potential with this set.

I'm using the Zany Zoo Designer Series Paper with the Detailed Dogwood stamp set.  As I said, I love a black and white card.  This one has just a little bit of color added with the Watercolor Pencils.

The base of this card is Thick Basic White 4 1/4 x 11, score and fold at 5 1/2.

Cut a piece of the Zany Zoo paper to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  Glue to the front.

Stamp the large stamp in Memento Black on Basic White.  Cut it out with the large die in the Meandering Meadows dies.  I love how the stamp looks in the window shape.  I'm going to let you in on a little secret.  When cutting the shape, I went just a tiny bit too high and slightly flattened the top of the oval.  That's when I decided that an extra flower at the top would look so nice.  We crafters learn how to hide a lot of our mistakes.  Cut out a flower and a leaf or two and add toward the top with a glue dot.  I curled the petals just a little with my Bone Folder.  Glue the window to the center of the card front.

 

Color in the picture using the Watercolor Pencils.  I used the Daffodil Delight, Pecan Pie, and Old Olive.  Use one of the Blender Pens to smooth out all of the color.  That looks so pretty.  It's really easy!

Tie a bow with Linen Thread.  Add to the card front with a glue dot down near the bottom.

Stamp one of the sayings from the Quiet Reflection stamp set.  Take a look at this set.  It has wonderful sayings that I don't think we've had before.  Stamp on a half inch strip of Basic White.  Angle each end.  Place Mini Dimensionals directly on the card front so that none of them will overlap the thread.  Add the saying.

Complete with some of the Brushed Brass Butterfly embellishments.

Here is the inside.  I inked up the same stamp and then taped off some of it.  I only wanted to get one flower.  I messed the stamping up at the very bottom.  My answer?  Just add a little strip of designer paper.  It covered it right up.  Color the flower with the Watercolor Pencils.

Sale-a-Bration is already half over.  But you can still earn the Detailed Dogwood with qualifying purchase until the end of February.

By the way, new items have been added to the Sale-a-Bration choices.  Go here to see what they are.  There are some for the $50 and the $100 amounts.  Don't you just love free stuff!

Thanks for joining me today.  The list is below if you would like to shop with me.  I would appreciate it so much!
