Stampin’ Up! Framed For You

To create today’s card, I used a technique called masking and it features the stamp set, Framed For You.

 

Framed For You Stampin Up

 

The base of my card is Thick Whisper White cardstock with a layer of Magenta Madness cardstock.The top layer is our regular Whisper White cardstock. I took a piece of Blue Painter’s Tape (you can find this at the grocery store, Target or probably even a drug store) and made it a little bit longer than my Whisper White cardstock, so about 6-1/2″.  Before taping it to my cardstock, I taped it to my arm (sounds silly, I know).  I did this several times to get some of the stickiness off the tape.  If you’re wearing long pants. that will work too. You’ll want to do this step because if the tape is too sticky, it will rip your paper when you remove it. After doing that process several times, I placed the tape in the middle of my cardstock because that’s where I wanted the sentiment to be. 

 

Framed For You Stampin Up

 

Next, I stamped the flowers and leaves in Magenta Madness, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive ink using the stamp set, Framed For You.  Because I wanted the flowers and leaves to look as though they were behind the sentiment, I stamped so that some of each image was on the Whisper White cardstock and some on the blue tape. Once I finished, I carefully pulled the blue tape off the paper.  Voila! A masterpiece! Just a word of warning, the ink will be sitting right on top of the tape, so be careful where you put it once you remove it (ask me how I know).

 

Framed For You Stampin Up

 

Next, I stamped the sentiment in Memento Ink using the stamp set, Celebrate Sunflowers. If you wanted, you could always stamp your sentiment first and then place the blue tape over it. 

 

Celebrate Sunflowers Stampin Up

 

To complete the card, I added three Artistry Blooms Sequins.  These are so easy to use because they have adhesive on the back! 

 

Artistry Blooms Sequins

 

Framed For You Stampin Up

 

I hope you’ll give this technique a try! I had to practice several times because I didn’t like where I placed the flowers and leaves. You might want to practice on a piece of computer paper cut to the size of the cardstock you’ll be using. I did that and once I was happy with my results, I just looked at my practice piece and replicated it.  Have fun!!

Stampin’ Up! Playing with Patterns Designer Series Paper

Today’s card features Playing with Patterns 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and Meadow Moments Embossing Folders. 

 

Playing with Patterns Designer Series Paper

 

Playing with Patterns Designer Series Paper

 

I used Thick Whisper White for the base of my card and then added a piece of Playing with Patterns Designer Series Paper (all the measurements I used can be found below the Supply List). Next came a layer of Misty Moonlight cardstock with an embossed piece of Whisper White cardstock.  I used the Meadow Moments Embossing Folders which is a set of embossing folders, half the size of our regular embossing folders. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to this layer to give it some pop. 

 

 

Playing with Patterns Designer Series Paper

 

The sentiment was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock and cut out using a die-cutting machine and the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  It was layered with another larger rectangle in the set using Misty Moonlight cardstock.  I also added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of this piece, too.

Stampin’ Up! Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch

Today’s quick and easy card features the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch, a brand new product in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog!

 

 

Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch

 

 

I started with a base of Just Jade cardstock and then added a layer of Misty Moonlight, two of our new In Colors. The next layer is Whisper White cardstock that was embossed using the Subtle Embossing Folder.  The remaining pieces on the card were cut out using the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch:  two using Just Jade cardstock and the other two using one of the designs in the Flowers for Every Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper.  The Just Jade pieces were punched and then embossed with one of the Meadow Moments embossing folders (these folders are packaged together and they’re much smaller than our regular sized folders).  

 

 

 

 

The sentiment was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock with Misty Moonlight ink using the stamp set, Tasteful Touches.  It was also cut out using the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch.  All of the postage stamp rectangles were popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Definitely a quick and easy card!

Stampin’ Up! Playing with Patterns

I used Playing with Patterns 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper along with the Tasteful Touches stamp set to create today’s quick and easy card. 

 

Tasteful Touches Stamp Set Stampin Up

 

Playing with Patterns Designer Series Paper

 

I love the start of a new catalog because I get to play with all the brand new Designer Series Paper. To be perfectly honest, I was on the fence about this paper and at the last minute added it to my order and I’m so glad I did because I love it! Just as it’s name suggests, there are many different patterns and I love the colors! 

 

Tasteful Touches Stamp Set

 

 

I used Purple Posy cardstock for the base of my card and combined it with Night of Navy cardstock.  The sentiment was stamped with the Tasteful Touches stamp set in Night of Navy ink.  This stamp set can also be purchased as a bundle (I didn’t use the dies for today’s card) and you can find more information by clicking the image below.

Have you ever seen a product in the catalog that you just HAVE to have?  I had to have the Gorgeous Posies Project Kit and I wasn’t disappointed when it arrived in my first order from the new catalog! Oh my gosh, I love it! The funny thing is, I didn’t realize it came with a box! So if you’re looking at the kit in the catalog, know that it also includes a nice-sized, beautiful box. It was a very nice surprise! 

Edited to add:  The box comes fully assembled with all the pieces to create the cards inside the box.

The kit comes with all the materials (you can see everything in the picture above) to make 16 cards  – card bases, card fronts, color coordinated envelopes, and embellishments too. The Gorgeous Posies Stamp Set coordinates with the kit and can be purchased separately. The sentiments in the stamp set fit perfectly on the sentiment pieces in the card kit

The colors that coordinate with the kit are:  Blackberry Bliss (the color ink I used), Blushing Bride, Gorgeous Grape, and Highland Heather. The kit also includes ribbon with gold accents and purple Baker’s Twine but I chose not to use them on my card. 

 

Gorgeous Posies

 

I added two flowers and leaves that I placed around the sentiment.  One was popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the other one was adhered with Multipurpose Glue. As you can see in the photo below, the kit comes with lots of flowers and leaves.  I’m looking forward to making more of these cards! Did I mention I love the box? 🙂

Stampin’ Up! Forever Flourishing Dies

Today’s card was created using Stampin’ Up! Forever Flourishing Dies and Flowers For Every Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper.

So Much Love Stamp Set

Forever Flourishing Dies

 

I used two new In Colors on my card – Just Jade and Bumblebee (the base of the card is Just Jade and the “panels” are Bumblebee). To create the greenery, I used Just Jade cardstock and Vellum cardstock and popped them behind the sentiment. To adhere both of these pieces, I added a layer of Multipurpose Glue on half of the sentiment piece.  Normally I would used Dimensionals to secure pieces like this but I wanted to be sure that they weren’t going to fall off the card and the glue worked perfectly. 

 

Elegant Faceted Gems

 

Elegant Faceted Gems

 

The sentiment was stamped in Just Jade ink onto Whisper White cardstock using the stamp set, So Much Love. When choosing stamp sets to purchase, I not only look at the images but the sentiments too.  In fact, at times I’ve purchased a set JUST for the sentiments but this set wowed me with the flowers and the sentiments.

I cut the sentiment using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and then cut a piece of Bumblebee cardstock to place under it. To add some sparkle I used three of our new Elegant Faceted Gems. You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.

Ornate Garden Gatefold Card

I used the Tasteful Touches stamp set and Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper to create today’s Gate Fold card. 

Gatefold Card Stampin Up

 

I began with a piece of Old Olive cardstock and scored it on both ends (I scored it on end, flipped it over to the other side and scored again) which created the gatefold (you can find all the measurements below the Supply List).

I added panels of Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series paper to both sides of the card base and added a panel of Whisper White cardstock to the inside.

 

Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper

 

Gatefold Card

 

It isn’t necessary to add a belly band (mine was made with one of our New In Colors – Bumblebee) but it does help to keep the card closed. The width of the belly band can be any size and mine is 3/4″.  I tried a 1″ width but preferred the smaller size for this card. I scored it in two places and wrapped it around the card, securing the two ends with a small amount of Multipurpose Glue. I added two Stampin’ Dimensionals to the the belly band and then placed the sentiment piece on top of it. 

 

Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper

 

The sentiment was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock with Old Olive ink using the stamp set Tasteful Touches. It was cut out using Stitched Shapes Dies and a die-cutting machine.  The Bumblebee and Old Olive scalloped ovals were cut out using the Layering Ovals dies which coordinate beautifully with the Stitched Shapes Dies.
