Berry Harvest Background Stamp Card

August 14, 2023

The background stamps are on pages 118 and 119 of the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. That's where you will find the Berry Harvest stamp set. Don't you love blackberries!

This card starts with Berry Burst cardstock cut to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. Score and fold at 4 1/4. Stamp over the front of the card with the Berry Harvest stamp set in the same color Berry Burst. That's a lot of berries!

Stamp another sheet of Basic White that is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 in Memento Black. Pick some of the areas on this sheet to color. Think about how it would be to cut out using your Paper Snips. It will all be fussy cutting. I color the leaves with the Parakeet Party Blends Combo. The berries are colored in the Berry Burst Blends Combo. I did use the Color Lifter to take away some of the color of the berries in places. This adds a little more interest.

I used the Nested Essentials to cut the largest tag piece in Basic White. Wrap the Crumb Cake twine around near the top of the panel 3 times and tape it on the back. This twine comes from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack. Make a bow with the same twine and add it to the front with a rolled up glue dot. Add the panel to the side of the card with dimensionals.

Add the berries and stems that you colored and cut wherever you want them. On the panel, glue the berries. On the card itself, add the berries and leaves with dimensionals. Put dimensionals under the parts that extend past the panel.

The saying for this card is from the Translucent Florals stamp set. This set is in the upcoming Sept-Oct Mini Catalog (holiday catalog). Stamp in Berry Burst on a half in strip and notch the end. Add using glue and dimensionals.

Finish up with some of the Adhesive Backed Sparkly Gems.

This is the inside of the card. The saying is Translucent Florals. I cut additional pieces of the stems and berries. and added them. Oh, by the way, the single partial leaf covers a smudge. The other berries were at an edge but I used them anyway!

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit me. If you need a demonstrator I would love to help you! The list of products is below.

Thanks a Bunch Take 2 for Sale-a-Bration

January 13, 2023

The Thank a Bunch Sale-a-Bration stamp set just might become addicting! Those carrots are so cute. The best thing is that they can be earned for free here in the US with a $50 order from Stampin' Up! You can do that right from my online store here. Here's my card for today.

You can make this card quickly! The base is Thick Basic White cut to 4 1/4 x 11. Score at 5 1/5.

Stamp the small bunch of carrots over the front of the card. Use Pumpkin Pie ink. It won't matter if you get the area that the designer paper will cover. Turn the stamp in different directions and let it run off the page. Be careful to leave enough room for the greenery. I used Garden Green for the greenery. If you want it to be more matchy matchy use Granny Apple Green. I thought it looked just fine. I added the dots to fill up some of the space.

The pretty stripe paper is from the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper. This paper is also a choice from Sale-a-Bration. It's available with a $100 order but you will get 48 double sided pages that are 12 x 12. Colors used are Balmy Blue, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana, Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green, Mango Melody, and Petal Pink. The designs are all generic and are great for any kind of card. For my card today it is cut to 2 1/4 x 4 1/4. I always use my Grid Paper to make sure that I'm lining my paper straight. I also use Multipurpose Liquid Glue because it has a little give just in case I need to quickly move it a little.

Stamp the carrots on a scrap piece of Basic White. I have found that stamping the accent part of the carrot works best. Well, I will say I found that out after I had already made this card! I used Pumpkin Pie for that. For the full carrot that is stamped on top, stamp it off on scrap paper. Then match it up and stamp.

For the leaves, stamp the large leaf in Granny Apple Green and then the more detailed leaf on top in Garden Green.

Cut out all of the carrots and leaves. The bottom carrot is glued to the card. The top is added with dimensionals. For the leaves I added them with a glue dot at the base and a dimensional further out.

Stamp the saying in Pumpkin Pie and in Garden Green. Trim around them and glue to the card front.

Add some of the Classic Matte Dots to embellish.

Here's the inside of the card. It's all from the Thanks a Bunch stamp set.

Here is today's card with a card I've already shared.

Thanks a Bunch for Sale-a-Bration

January 06, 2023

IT'S LIVE! DID YOU ORDER?

Today I have a cute little card made with the same layout as the card from Wednesday's post. This time I'm using the Thanks a Bunch stamp set from Sale-a-Bration. This set might not attract you at first, but it can make some cute cards.

Who wouldn't like getting this thank you card in the mail! The base is Thick Basic White 4 1/4 x 11. Score it at 5 1/2. Then cut 1 1/4 from the front of the card.

You'll see part of the inside of the card from the front now. Stamp the small cluster of carrots in Pumpkin Pie. Add the leaves or maybe I should say sprigs. I stamped them twice for each carrot. First I stamped them all with Granny Apple Green. Then I went back and stamped them again with Parakeet Party. I stamped the last just a little askew from the first. I stamped about 2 inches in.

The front of the card uses the Dandy Designs DSP for Sale-a-Bration. Cut it 4 x 4.

On Basic White stamp the carrot 3 times. It's easier to stamp the darker shaded part of the carrot first. Then go back to stamp the entire carrot. Use stamped off Pumpkin Pie for this. Now stamp the large leaves for the carrots in Parakeet Party. Add the other leaf sprigs in Granny Apple Green. Use your paper snips to cut out all of the carrots and the leaves.

Stamp the saying for the card using the Thanks a Bunch stamp set. Use Pumpkin Pie and Granny Apple Green. Trim down to size and glue to the card.

Glue the bottom 2 carrots to the card, but put some dimensionals under the leaves. I did stick the leaves to the carrot with glue dots. The top carrot is added with dimensionals.

Embellish with Classic Matte Dots.

Here's the inside of the card.

If you want to see the card I made with this same layout go here. They look so different.
