Stampin’ Up! Friends of the Forest

Today’s card features the adorable Friends of the Forest stamp set.  I also used the Deer Builder Punch and the Scalloped Contours Dies

Friends of the Forest

 

I started with a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock for the base of my card. I then cut a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Scalloped Contours Dies. I stamped the tree, flowers, tree trunk, bunny and sentiment directly onto the scalloped rectangle using Memento Ink and the stamp set, Friends of the Forest.  On another piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the deer and used my Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends to color it in.  I cut it out using the Deer Builder Punch.

 

 

Deer Builder Punch

 

Here are the Stampin’ Blends I used to color everything:

  • Deer – Crumb Cake (Dark and Light)
  • Tree:  Dark Crumb Cake and Light Granny Apple Green
  • Grass:  Granny Apple Green (Light)
  • Flowers:  Daffodil Delight (Dark) and Flirty Flamingo (Dark)
  • Mushrooms:  Crumb Cake (Light) & Pool Party (Light)
  • Tree trunk:  Dark Crumb Cake
  • Bunny:  Petal Pink (Light & Dark)

 

After coloring everything, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the scalloped rectangle and placed it on the card base. I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the deer before placing it on the card. 

 

 

 

To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

Stampin’ Up! Brilliant Rainbow Dies

Today’s card was a fun one to make! I used the Brilliant Rainbow Dies, the new Cloud Punch and the stamp set, Friends of the Forest. I’ll be honest, I bought these dies several months ago and was a bit intimidated to use them. I don’t know why I waited so long because my card was really easy to make! 

 

Friends of the Forest

 

Brilliant Rainbow Dies

 

I started with a base of Pacific Point cardstock.  Then I used the large rainbow die to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock. I added LOTS of Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the card base. I used the same die to cut the colors of the rainbow using scraps that I had since I only needed one piece of the rainbow for each color.  I then glued each color of the rainbow into each section. Easy peasy! 

 

Brilliant Rainbows

 

Stampin' Up Cloud Punch

 

I used the Cloud Punch to cut two clouds out of Basic White cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment on one of the clouds in Memento Ink using the stamp set, Friends of the Forest. I glued the other cloud to the bottom of the rainbow and added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the one with the sentiment and placed it beside the other cloud.

Friends of the Forest

 

To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and added three Iridescent Rhinestones to the front of the card.

Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish

Today’s cards feature several products that are retiring and available while supplies last. They are:

 

Biggest Wish

 

I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and added a piece of Mint Macaron cardstock that I embossed using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.  I adhered a piece of Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper to the Mint Macaron cardstock.  Then, I wrapped a piece of Basic White ribbon (from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack) around this piece and tied a knot, added adhesive to the back and placed it on the Thick Basic White cardstock.

 

 

 

I stamped the sentiment in Mint Macaron ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Biggest Wish and then cut it out using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I cut a larger rectangle out of Misty Moonlight cardstock, adhered the sentiment to it, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the card. To complete the card, I added three Polished Dots. Our Polished Dots have been unavailable but they are now back in stock again!

For my second card I used all of the same products but used Highland Heather cardstock and Gorgeous Grape ink.

Stampin’ Up! Retiring Embossing Folders

Embossing Folders!! I love them, I really do! Using an embossing folder adds so much dimension to a piece of plain cardstock and adding embossed cardstock to a card, elevates it to a whole new level. Fourteen embossing folders in the Annual Catalog are on the Last Chance List and all but two are on sale! Below I’ve listed all of the retiring embossing folders and each one is available while supplies last! If you continue to scroll down, I’m sharing cards I’ve previously shared with some of the folders on this list.
