Stampin’ Up! Country Gingham Designer Series Paper

Today’s card was created using Country Gingham 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, Painted Texture Embossing Folder, Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch and the stamp set, Cottage Rose

 

 

 

I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card and then added a piece of Mint Macaron cardstock. I then embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Painted Texture Embossing Folder and adhered it to the Mint Macaron cardstock. 

 

 

I used the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch to cut two pieces of Country Gingham Designer Series Paper and two pieces of Mint Macaron cardstock.  I embossed the Mini Macaron pieces using the Painted Texture Embossing Folder. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of each rectangle and then placed them on the front of the card. 

I stamped the sentiment in Evening Evergreen ink onto Basic White using the stamp set, Cottage Rose.  I cut it out using the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card. To complete my card, I added three Basic Rhinestones below the sentiment. 

 

 

 

Here’s another version of today’s card.  This is actually the card I made first. I decided it was a bit flat for my taste (but it’s flatter to mail) so I carefully took the pieces off and added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of each rectangle. This card is also vertical rather than horizontal.

Today’s Card

Today’s card is a fun fold that features the Simply Fabulous stamp set, Country Gingham 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and the Brilliant Wings Dies.

 

 

 

I started with a piece of Orchid Oasis cardstock for the base of my card. Then I used a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock, scored it in two places and adhered it to the base of the card, making sure that the larger flap was at the bottom so that the top flap could fold over the bottom one. You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List, 

 

 

 

I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.  Then, I cut a piece of Country Gingham Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the bottom panel. I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock, placed it inside one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered this piece to the top panel. The Basics 3D Embossing Folders are currently on the Low Inventory List so if you’ve been thinking about purchasing them, I recommend getting them now. 

 

 

 

I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a square out of Basic White cardstock, Then, I placed it in my Stamparatus and stamped the sentiment in Orchid Oasis ink using the stamp set, Simply Fabulous. The Stamparatus is great for getting a dark, crisp image because the powerful magnets hold the paper in place and you can stamp over and over again until you’re happy with results. 

I adhered the sentiment to a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock and then on the back, I added two rows of Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhered the piece to the top panel. 

 

 

 

I used the Brilliant Wings Dies to cut a butterfly out of Orchid Oasis cardstock.  I cut a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional in half and placed the two pieces down the middle of the butterfly and adhered it to the sentiment piece. To finish my card, I added an Iridescent Pearl to the butterfly.

Stampin’ Up! Elephant Parade Bundle

Today’s card was created using the Elephant Parade Bundle which includes the Elephant Parade stamp set and the Elephant Dies.  I also used the stamp set, By My Side, Country Gingham Designer Series Paper and one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders

 

 

 

I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I layered a piece of Mint Macaron cardstock with a piece of Basic White cardstock and adhered the layer to the base of the card. I cut a piece of Country Gingham Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the front of the card.

I cut a piece of Mint Macaron cardstock and placed it in inside one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and ran it through the Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered this piece to the front of the card. 

 

 

 

Next, I layered a piece of Gray Granite cardstock with a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the same embossing folder that I used for the Mint Macaron. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. 

 

 

Stampin Up By My Side

 

I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock and then colored the elephant using these Stampin’ Blends:

  • Gray Granite (Light and Dark)
  • Petal Pink (Light)

I cut the elephant out using the Elephant Dies and then set it aside.  I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, By My Side, and Mint Macaron ink and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. The die I used was longer than I would need so when I cut it out, I made sure the sentiment was over to the right. I glued the sentiment to the elephant and then added adhesive to the back of the elephant and sentiment (except for the part that hangs over the Gray Granite layer) and adhered the elephant to the front of the card. 

 

 

 

To complete my card I added five 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds to the front of the card. These gems are in Soft Succulent but I think they match really well with the Mint Macaron Designer Series Paper.

Request a Stampin’ Up! 2023-2024 Annual Catalog

 

It’s almost time for the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog! This year I’m implementing something new. I’m requesting that my customers fill out a form to have a new catalog sent to their home. I’m always happy to send complimentary copies of our catalogs to my customers but due to the rising cost of postage, I’m asking that you request one (it will still be complimentary). Normally I’d send a new catalog to anyone who has ordered from me in the past six months but I know that many of my customers shop with several different demonstrators and again due to the rising costs of mailing, I’d rather have you request a catalog so that you don’t have several catalogs from several different demonstrators.  Thanks so much for your understanding!! 

If you are a customer of mine and would like to have the Annual Catalog mailed to you and you’ve ordered from me in the last six months, please click HERE
