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! Simply Fabulous Stamp Set

by | Feb 14, 2023 | Uncategorized

Happy Valentine’s Day!!

Today’s card was created using the stamp set, Simply Fabulous, Regency Park Designer Series Paper and the Something Fancy Dies. The Simply Fabulous stamp set was one I passed by in the Annual Catalog until I saw a card someone made using it and had to have it.  I love big, bold sentiments.

This is the same layout I used with yesterday’s card. You can get so many different looks by changing up the paper, sentiments and dies. If you missed yesterday’s card, you can see it here. 

 

 

 

I started with Mango Melody cardstock for the base of my card. Then I layered two pieces of Regency Park Designer Series Paper with two pieces of Shaded Spruce cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List) and adhered both to the card base.

 

 

 

I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and adhered it to the inside of the card. 

 

 

 

I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Simply Fabulous, and Shaded Spruce ink. When a stamp is bold, I like to use my Stamparatus. The paper is held in place with powerful magnets and I can keep inking up the stamp until it’s as dark as I’d like.

Next, I cut the sentiment out using the Something Fancy Dies. I cut the same shape, but larger, out of Mango Melody cardstock using these same dies and then layered the two pieces together. On the back, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the right side, on only the part that would be touching the left panel, and adhered it to the front of the card.

 

 

To complete my card, I added five Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots to the right panel.

Below you’ll find all the Stampin’ Up! supplies I used for today’s card. If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your demonstrator! You can place an order by clicking any of the images below to go to my Stampin’ Up! online store.

  • Shaded Spruce cardstock: 4″ x 3-1/4″
