Stampin’ Up! Speedy Recovery

Today’s card was created using the Stampin’ Up! stamp set Speedy Recovery. I needed a small sentiment to put in the corner and I found “I miss you” from the stamp set, Cup of Tea worked perfectly! I also used the Stylish Shapes Dies and 2022-2024 In Color 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper

 

 

 

I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then, I layered a piece of Orchid Oasis cardstock with a piece of In Color Designer Series Paper in Sweet Sorbet on both sides of the card. I also added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card. 

 

 

 

I used the two largest square dies in the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a piece of Orchid Oasis cardstock and Basic White cardstock (the two smallest squares on my card). Then, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and adhered the Orchid Oasis square to it. I stamped the flowers onto the small Basic White square using Memento Ink and the stamp set, Speedy Recovery. I colored it using these Stampin’ Blends:

  • Sweet Sorbet
  • Orchid Oasis
  • Granny Apple Green
  • Daffodil Delight

When I finished coloring, I stamped “I Miss You” in Sweet Sorbet ink, in the corner, using the stamp set, Cup of Tea. 

 

 

 

To complete my card, I added three 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots in Orchid Oasis around the flowers.

Today’s card was created using Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, Speedy Recovery (this stamp set will be on sale Thursday). I also did some embossing which always takes a card up a notch! 

 

 

 

I started with a piece of Petal Pink cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut two pieces of Texture Chic Designer Series Paper and a piece of Petal Pink cardstock, all the same size (you can find the measurements below the Supply List).  I placed the Petal Pink inside the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I adhered all three pieces to a piece of Basic White cardstock and then adhered that piece to the front of the card. 

 

 

 

I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Versamark ink and the stamp set, Speedy Recovery.  I sprinkled gold embossing powder over the sentiment and then heat embossed it (you can find directions for heat embossing below). I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I used the Painted Labels Dies to cut the decorative circle out of Gold Foil and then adhered the sentiment to the front. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front. 

 

 

 

 

To complete my card, I added three Festive Pearls, in gold, to the front. 

 

How to Heat Emboss

Prepare your cardstock by rubbing the Embossing Buddy (an anti-static pouch that can be found in the Embossing Additions Tool Kit) over the surface of the paper as it helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder. Stamp your sentiment or image using a Versamark pad. This is very sticky ink and your embossing powder will stick right to it.  Sprinkle embossing powder over the stamped image and then shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool first so your paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as your image is transformed (it will be shiny)!
