Stampin’ Up! Full of Life Designer Series Paper

Today I’m sharing variations of the card I made in a previous post using Full of Life Designer Series Paper.  You can see those cards here. I used all the same products for the three cards I’m sharing today, but I did use different colors of cardstock and ink. I used Full of Life 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, Unbounded Love Dies and the So Swirly Embossing Folder. This embossing folder is one of our new larger embossing folders. 

For this first card I used Petunia Pop cardstock and Petunia Pop ink. This card is a bit softer than the one below. 

 

 

 

 

This next card was created using Berry Burst cardstock and Berry Burst ink. 

 

 

 

 

And this last card was made using Berry Burst cardstock and Berry Burst ink.

Mystery Boxes 

 

What’s a Mystery Box? 

A Mystery Box is filled with retired products that I’d like to give to a new home. I’ve been a demonstrator for almost 15 years so you can just imagine how much I have! I have Medium Rate Flat Rate USPS shipping boxes stuffed with retired Stampin’ Up! product.The boxes contain stamps, dies, ribbon, embellishments and more! 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. 

All of the products in the Mystery Boxes have retired but some have never been used, some are used and all are “as is”. Some of the stamp sets are wood mount. 

You can place an order HERE.

 

There are two ways to get a Mystery Box

  • Place a $125 or more order (before shipping/tax) at my Stampin’ Up! online store using the host code VCQST97K. I will send a Mystery Box to you as a free gift and I’ll even pay the postage! Using the host code will alert me that you want a Mystery Box. If your order is $150 or more, please DO NOT use the host code so you can receive Stampin’ Rewards (free product) directly from Stampin’ Up!. After you’ve placed your order (only if your order is $150 or more), please email me that you’d like a Mystery Box (click “Email Me” on the sidebar).
  • If you don’t want to place an order, you can purchase a Mystery Box for $80 plus $15.00 postage. Email me that you want a box and I’ll send you a PayPal invoice (click “Email Me” on the sidebar).

Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia

The card I’m sharing today was made using Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia stamp set, Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper (on the Low Inventory List) and the Everyday Details Dies

 

 

 

I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I layered a piece of Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper (DSP) with a piece of Highland Heather cardstock and adhered it to the front of the card.  

 

 

 

I layered another piece of Flowering Zinnias DSP with another piece of Highland Heather cardstock and then adhered it to the front of the card. 

 

 

 

I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set Simply Zinnia and Highland Heather ink. Then, I cut it out using the Everyday Details Dies and cut a larger rectangle out of Highland Heather cardstock. I layered the two pieces together, added Stampin’ Dimensional to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.

Stampin’ Up! Magic In This Night

Today’s card features the Beautiful Autumn stamp set and Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper

 

Beautiful Autumn

 

I started with a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock for the base of my card. I then added a piece of Whisper White cardstock that I ran through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I normally make this layer a little bit smaller than the card base but this time I made it the same size as the base.

 

Magic In This Night

 

I added a piece of Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper to a piece of Basic Black cardstock (this Designer Series Paper can be found in the Mini Catalog). The sentiment was stamped with Memento Ink onto Whisper White cardstock using the stamp set, Beautiful Autumn and was cut out using the Layering Ovals Dies. The scalloped oval was also cut out with these dies and I used our Black Glitter Paper for a little bit of sparkle.  

 

Black Glitter Paper Stampin Up

 

The Black Glitter Paper is unlike the Glimmer Paper Stampin’ Up! used to carry.  It’s thinner which makes it easier to use and the glitter doesn’t come off on your hands. 

If you’d like to make today’s card, below you’ll find a supply list of the products I used as well as the measurements.
