Stampin’ Up! Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders

The colors for today’s card was inspired by fellow demonstrator, Susan Campfield. The card isn’t on her blog but I saw it on Instagram. I thought the colors she used were so beautiful together that I wanted to create my own card! I used the stamp set, Limited Edition, one of the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders, Stylish Shapes Dies and the Layering Circles Dies.

 

 

 

I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I layered a piece of Highland Heather cardstock with Fresh Freesia cardstock and adhered it to the front of the card (I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Highland Heather returns and Fresh Freesia is added to the collection). You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List. 

 

 

 

I cut four 1-1/2″ x 1-1/2″ cardstock squares out of Pool Party, Balmy Blue, Fresh Freesia and Highland Heather. Then I placed them in one of the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders and ran them through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock, adhered the squares to it and then adhered the square to the front of the card. I cut a piece of Highland Heather cardstock and ran it through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the same embossing folder. After adhering it to the front of the card, I added three Glossy Dots to the strip. 

 

 

 

I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Highland Heather ink and the stamp set, Limited Edition. Next, I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut a scalloped circle out of Fresh Freesia cardstock using the Layering Circles Dies and layered it with the sentiment.  I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. 

 

 

 

Here’s another version of the card without the Fresh Freesia scalloped circle.

Stampin’ Up! Friendly Gnomes Stamp Set

Today’s card features the Friendly Gnomes stamp set and the Gnomes Dies.The Gnomes Dies debuted in the July- December Holiday Catalog but are currently out of stock (they should be available again the week of March 27th). These are the same dies that coordinated with the Kindest Gnomes stamp set (also in the Holiday Catalog but has retired) but now coordinate with the Friendly Gnomes stamp set that was used on my card today!

 

 

 

I started with a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock for the base of my card. Then I added a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Painted Texture Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine

 

 

 

Next, I cut a piece of Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper and layered it with a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). After adhering it to the front of the card, I used the Layering Circles Dies to cut a scalloped circle out of Sweet Sorbet cardstock and a circle out of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the two pieces together and then set it aside. 

 

 

 

I stamped the gnome from the stamp set, Friendly Gnomes, in Memento ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock. I colored the gnome in using these Stampin’ Blends: 

  • Sweet Sorbet Light – I went over these areas several times to get the shade I wanted
  • Petal Pink Light
  • Balmy Blue Light
  • Soft Suede Light

I cut the gnome out using the Gnomes Dies. Next, I stamped the sentiment, also from the Friendly Gnomes stamp set, in Sweet Sorbet Ink and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment behind the gnome and then adhered both to the Basic White circle. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Sweet Sorbet scalloped circle and adhered it to the front of the card. I then placed three 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots around the gnome. 

 

 

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

Stampin’ Up! Nested Friends Bundle

Today I have a card to share with you using the Nested Friends Bundle which includes the Nested Friends stamp set and the Nested Friends Dies. I love a cute bird stamp set and if there are dies too, I’m in! I also used the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder

 

 

 

I started with a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock, placed it inside the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder, ran it though my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and then adhered it to the front of my card. Next, I cut a circle out of Basic White cardstock using the Layering Circles Dies and cut  a scalloped circle out of Balmy Blue cardstock. 

 

 

 

I used the Nested Friends stamp set and stamped the branch onto the Basic White circle using Memento Ink. I stamped the bird onto another piece of Basic White cardstock. Then I colored the branch using my Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Combo pack and my Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blend (I went over some of the areas a second time to get the color darker). The bird was colored with the Light Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend (body), Light Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend (body) and the Dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend (beak). I adhered the white circle to the scalloped Balmy Blue circle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. 

 

 

Using the Nested Friends Dies, I cut the bird out, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the branch. I added three Glossy Dots around the bird and branch. I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Nested Friends Stamp Set and Memento Ink. I cut it out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and then cut a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock a little bit bigger than the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the Balmy Blue cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.

Stampin’ Up! Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper

Today I have another card using the Adorable Owls stamp set. I also used Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper and the Gingham Embossing Folder. Both the Adorable Owls stamp set and the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper are free with a qualifying purchase during Sale-a-Bration. Read on for more information!

 

 

 

 

I started with a piece Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I layered a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock with a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Gingham Embossing Folder. Then, I adhered it to the front of the card.

Next, I layered another piece of Balmy Blue cardstock with Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. Dandy Designs is a HUGE pack of paper and you can earn it FREE with a $100 purchase. 

 

 

 

I stamped the owl using the Adorable Owls stamp set in Memento ink onto Basic White cardstock. I colored the owl using these Stampin’ Blends:

  • Crumb Cake Light and Dark
  • Pool Party Light
  • Balmy Blue Light
  • Petal Pink Light

After coloring the owl, I cut him out using the Layering Circles Dies. Using these same dies, I cut a larger scalloped circle out of Balmy Blue and adhered the owl to it.  I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper. 

 

 

I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Memento ink and the stamp set, Easter Bunny. I then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies (these dies have been out of stock for quite some time but Stampin’ Up! is estimating they’ll be back in stock the week of February 13th). I added adhesive to the top part of the sentiment only and adhered it to the Designer Series Paper layer. 

 

 

I colored five rhinestones using my Dark Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend, although it’s hard to tell in the pictures. It’s so nice to be able to color rhinestones to match your card! I have to admit, I forgot about this trick!

Sneak Peek of Stampin’ Up! Love Cats Stamp Set

Today I have another sneak peek of new products debuting on January 5, 2023 in the January – April Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalog! The new products are:

  • Love Cats stamp set #160410
  • Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper #160375

 

 

I started with a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock for the base of my card. Then I ran a piece of Basic White cardstock through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Into the Clouds Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card base. I cut a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock and adhered a piece of Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper (available January 5th) to the front and then adhered it to the left side of the card base. 

 

 

 

I used my Stamparatus to stamp the cute cat from the stamp set, Love Cats (available January 5th). If you want a really bold image, the Stamparatus is perfect for the job because you can keep stamping in the same place. I stamped the cat on Basic White cardstock using Memento ink and then cut him out using the Layering Circles Dies. I colored the heart using my Real Red Dark Stampin’ Blend. I cut another, larger, scalloped circle, again using the Layering Circles Dies, and adhered the cat to the front. Then I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. 

 

 

 

I stamped my sentiment in Memento Ink using the stamp set Framed Florets and cut it out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it below the cat. 

 

 

 

 

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