Stampin’ Up! Kindest Expressions Stamp Set

Today I’m sharing a card I made for my recent Kindest Expressions Card Sampler.  I made the card using Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (DSP), the Kindest Expressions stamp set, Deckled Circles Dies and Purple Fine Shimmer Gems

 

 

 

I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card.Then I added a piece of Perennial Lavender DSP (floral design) to another piece of Perennial Lavender DSP (purple design). Before adhering it to the front of the card, I cut another piece of Perennial Lavender (purple design) and adhered it to the middle and then adhered the entire piece to the front. 

 

 

 

I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Gorgeous Grape ink and the stamp set, Kindest Expressions. I cut it out using the Deckled Circles Dies and then cut a larger circle out of Gorgeous Grape cardstock using the same dies.  I layered the sentiment to the Gorgeous Grape, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added three Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.

The boxes are already sealed and every box will be different and a mystery as to what’s inside! The value of each box is well over $200.

Stampin’ Up! Country Flowers Bundle

Today I’m sharing several new products from the new Annual Catalog. I used the Country Flowers Bundle (which includes the Country Flowers stamp set and Country Flowers Dies), Country Lace Designer Series Paper, Deckled Circles Dies and Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems.

 

 

 

 

I started off with a piece of Smoky Slate cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I layered a piece of Country Lace Designer Series Paper with a piece of Basic White cardstock and adhered the layer to the front of the card. 

 

 

 

 

Next, I used the Deckled Circles Dies to cut a circle out of Basic White cardstock and then the next larger size out of Smoky Slate cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink at the bottom of the Basic White circle and then adhered the Basic White circle to the Smoky Slate circle.

I stamped the leaves and pot onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento Ink. I colored the leaves using Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends and the pot was colored with Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. 

 

 

I used the Country Flowers Dies to cut the leaves and pot out. I adhered the pot above the sentiment and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the leaves and adhered them to the pot. 

 

 

To complete my card I added three Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems around the pot of leaves and I adhered a piece of Basic White to the inside of the card.

Stampin’ Up! Gift of Giving

I’m back! I’ve been back home for several weeks but wouldn’t you know, once I arrived home, I got sick and am still trying to shake it off! Anyway, I made a card yesterday and want to share it with you! I used the stamp set, Gift of Giving, Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper, Deckled Circles Dies and the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder

 

 

 

I started with a piece of Shaded Spruce for the base of my card. Then, I adhered a piece of Basic White to the inside of the card and with the other, I embossed it using the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder. I then adhered it to the front of the card. 

 

 

 

I cut a piece of Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper (you can see the measurements I used below the Supply List) and adhered it to the front of the card. Then, I cut a piece of Real Red cardstock and notched the end using the Banners Pick a Punch punch and then adhered it to the front of the card. 

 

 

 

I used the Deckled Circles Dies to cut a piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock and a smaller circle in Basic White cardstock.  I stamped the mug onto the Basic White circle using Memento Ink. I then colored the mug using these Stampin’ Blends:

  • Dark Real Red (mug, berries, candy cane)
  • Light & Dark Old Olive (leaves)
  • Dark Pecan Pie (chips)
  • Light Pecan Pie (cookie)

After coloring the mug, I adhered it to the Shaded Spruce circle, add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attached it to the card front. I then added three embellishments from the Tinsel Gems Four Pack.

Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate Stamp Set

I’ve been a little quiet lately. I’ve been back at my mom’s house for ten days now and my sister and I are still going through the house getting it ready to sell. My mom and dad lived on a big piece of property and there are quite a few improvements that need to be made, inside the house and outside. I had movers come on Thursday to take my favorite pieces to my house (I wish I could have taken so much more). We’re making progress slowly but surely but it’s been a very emotional roller coaster. While I was home, I made a lot of cards to blog but some days, I find it hard to sit down at my computer. Anyway, I just wanted you to know why my posts have been sporadic.

Today’s card was created using the Rustic Crate stamp set. The  Rustic Crate Bundle which includes the Rustic Crate stamp set and Rustic Crate Dies is also available but I didn’t use the dies for this particular card. I also used the Deckled Circles Dies, the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder, All About Autumn Designer Series Paper (currently not available but I have a substitute) and the So Sincere stamp set

 

 

 

I started with a piece of Early Espresso cardstock for the base of my card. Then I embossed a piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock using the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder. Before adhering it to the front of the card, I cut a piece of All About Autumn Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the embossed Pumpkin Pie cardstock.  All About Autumn Designer Series Paper is on backorder and is estimated to be available the week of October 23rd but I think a very nice substitute would be a piece of the Brights Designer Series Paper in Pumpkin Pie. 

 

 

 

 

 

I used the Deckled Circles Dies to cut a circle out of Early Espresso cardstock and a smaller one out of Very Vanilla cardstock. I stamped the pumpkins and sunflowers in Memento Ink onto the Very Vanilla circle and then colored it with these Stampin’ Blends: Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green and Pecan Pie. I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso ink using the stamp set, So Sincere. I then adhered the Very Vanilla circle to the Early Espresso circle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. 

 

 

 

To complete my card, I added three Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins to the front of the card and I added a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock to the front.
