Away For a Bit

Friends,

When I’m going to be away from my blog for several days or longer, I like to let you know that I won’t be posting.

My 61 year old brother-in-law, Steve, found out he had a brain tumor (glioblastoma) in February 2021. Up until three weeks ago, he was still playing golf but there were signs that the tumor was becoming aggressive. Steve passed away this morning.  I will be taking time off to support my husband during this difficult time. 

 

Stampin’ Up! Full of Love

Today’s card features the stamp set, Full of Love, Stylish Shapes Dies and the Gingham Embossing Folder.

 

 

 

I started with a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Gingham Embossing Folder. I also added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.  Next, I stamped the flowers and envelope onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento ink and the stamp set, Full of Love. Then I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies.

 

 

 

I colored the flowers using these Stampin’ Blends:  Sweet Sorbet, Granny Apple Green, Highland Heather and Daffodil Delight. I then cut a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock and adhered the flower image to it. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.  I used Linen Thread to make a bow and then added a Mini Glue Dot to the back and adhered it to the flower image.

 

 

I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Sweet Sorbet ink and the stamp set, Full of Love.  I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete the card, I added three 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds to the front of the card.

Stampin’ Up! Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam Cards & Envelopes

Sale-a-Bration Products Available While Supplies Last

This morning Stampin’ Up! reminded demonstrators that all Sale-a-Bration products are available only while supplies last so I wanted to let you know. Once inventory is exhausted the item will no longer be available to redeem, nor will it be restocked. Be sure to get the items you like early! 

Today’s card was made using the Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam Cards & Envelopes which is a Sale-a-Bration product you can earn with a $50 order. 

 

 

 

Please note:  On the Stampin’ Up! store website, it incorrectly states that when folded, the cards are 3″ x 3″. When the cards are folded, they are 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″. I have contacted Stampin’ Up! about the error. 

I used one of the Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam cards for the base of my card. Next, I placed a piece of Basic White cardstock inside the new Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and then I layered it onto a piece of Pool Party cardstock. I wrapped our beautiful Sheer Pool Party Ribbon around it and tied a bow. I used the Splendid Stems Dies (included in the Splendid Thoughts Bundle) to cut two leaves out of Pool Party and Basic White cardstock and adhered them to the back of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals and then added more to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. 

 

 

 

 

I stamped the sentiment in Pool Party ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Splendid Thoughts stamp set and cut it out using the Layering Circles Dies. I cut a larger scalloped circle out of Pool Party cardstock and layered the two pieces together. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.

 

 

 

To complete my card, I added three Pool Party gems that are included in the Glossy Dots Assortment package. These gems are so sparkly!

Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles Bundle

Today’s card was made using the Sending Smiles Bundle which includes the Sending Smiles stamp set and the Sending Dies.  I also used Butterfly Kisses 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and Timber 3D Embossing Folder. 

 

 

 

I started with a piece of Parakeet Party for my card base. I then placed a piece of Basic White cardstock inside the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.  I added a strip of Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper to the cardstock and then adhered the piece to the card base.

As I was creating, I wondered how different Parakeet Party is from Granny Apple Green and I was very surprised!! I thought they would be very close but they aren’t!

 

 

 

I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut the large Basic White stitched circle.  Then I stamped the leaves directly onto the circle using Parakeet Party ink.  Then on another piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the two flowers in Highland Heather ink and used Daffodil Delight for the centers using the stamp set, Sending Smiles. I cut them out using the Sending Dies.  I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of each flower and adhered them to the circle. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the circle and adhered it to the front of the card. 

 

 

I used the Sending Dies again to cut the Highland Heather “sending” and the Basic White one.  I used Multipurpose Glue to adhere them together (another option is use our adhesive sheets). I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front. I also used the Sending Dies to cut the sentiment.  First, I stamped the sentiment in Parakeet Party ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Sending Smiles stamp set.  I then cut it out but the sentiment is much to short for the die so I cut both ends off as shown in the pictures below.  I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.

 

 

 

 

 

To complete my card, I added three 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds.
