Beautifully Happy Meets Retiring In Colors

Hi!  Happy Thursday!   How is your week going?  I hope it’s a good one.

Today I am showcasing a card made with the Beautifully Happy Sale-A-Bration set -which you can choose FREE with a $100 (US, prior to S/H and tax) order.

Beautifully Happy, In Colors 2021-2023, Flowers, Friendship, Stampin' Up!, SU!, #SAB2023

The 3 colors present in this card are Polished Pink, Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent – part of the soon-to-be-retired 2021-2023 In Color Collection.  I love the bright pop amidst the greens.  The Beautifully Happy set is a 2-step stamp set – there is an outline image which is stamped in Jet Black StaZon and then there are 3 fill-in stamps – one for the flowers – stamped in Polished Pink, one for the big leaves – stamped in Evening Evergreen, and one for the buds – stamped in Soft Succulent.   I’ve also added some interest using the splatter stamp inked in Gray Granite.

I die-cut the stamped image with a Stitched Rectangle die and layered it on an Evening Evergreen die cut from Scalloped Contours Die set.  A piece of Evening Evergreen Sheer Ribbon is attached to the back of panel and a smaller piece is tied around in the front to create the knot.  The Basic White mat, measuring 4″ x 5 1/4″,  is stamped with the splatter stamp  as well.

The base of the card is Polished Pink and measures 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″ and folded.  I didn’t add a sentiment to the front, instead, I will add it to the inside and let the flowers be the star of the card.

2021-2023 In Colors – We will be saying goodbye to this set of colors when the new Annual Catalog goes live in May.  If you love this set of colors, I encourage you to place your order now for the ink pad, a re-inker, and card stock – and any embellishments, Designer Series Paper, ribbon or Stampin’ Blends Combo packs that you are missing in your collection.  These items tend to sell-out quickly once the retiring list is announced – so get a jump and don’t miss out.  Not to mention, when you place your order before Feb 28, you’ll also earn a Sale-A-Bration item (min $50 purchase required).

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi!  How are you today?  Did you get a chance to check out the fun Z-Fold card yesterday?  As promised, I am back today with another fun fold featuring the Playing in the Rain Bundle.

Playing in the Rain, Just Because, Fun Fold, Stampin' Up!, SU!, #JanAprilMini2023

Isn’t this guy just the cutest?  I love this suite and this fold.  It is pretty easy to do and the critters make such fun cards.

Here are the dimensions for the pieces needed:

  • Base – Basic Gray – 8 1/4″ x 4 1/4″, score at 5 1/2″
  • Basic White – 5 1/4″ x 4″
  • Basic Gray – 5 1/2″ x 3″, score at 5″
  • Designer Series Paper – Umbrellas – 2 1/2″ x 4″
  • Designer Series Paper – Rain – 4 3/4″ x 2 3/4″
  • Basic White Scraps for bunny and sentiment
  • Balmy Blue strip – 2 3/4″ x 1/4″

The bunny is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Combo pack for the rain jacket, Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends for the ears and nose, and Smoky Slate light and Balmy Blue light Stampin’ Blends for the puddle.  Please note that the coordinating die will ONLY cut the bunny, so you will need to use Paper Snips to cut out the puddle.

The sentiment from Happy Labels is stamped on a Basic White scrap and the flag tail is created using the Banners Pick A Punch.  The Balmy Blue strip is also created with the same punch.

Here is a view of the card opened up :

The second card in this video shows you how to assemble the card.

I hope you enjoyed this fun fold today.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Happy Day Turtle

Hi!  Today I have  the first of 2 cards using the Playing in the Rain Bundle and fun folds.   First up is a slight twist to the Z-fold.

Playing in the Rain, Just Because, Z-Fold, Fun Fold, Stampin' Up!, SU!, #JanAprilMini2023

Instead of using the full card to create the Z, a separate piece of card stock measuring 9 3/4″ x 4 1/4″ is used.

Here is the card opened:

Playing in the Rain, Just Because, Z-Fold, Fun Fold, Stampin' Up!, SU!, #JanAprilMini2023

Here are the measurements for the layers:

  • Base – Balmy Blue – 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
  • Designer Series Paper -4″ x 5 1/4″
  • Z-Fold – 4 1/4″ x 9 3/4″ – score at 3 1/4″, 6 1/2″
  • Designer Series Paper for middle panel of Z-fold – 3″ x 4″
  • Basic White for sentiment – 3″ x 4″

The turtle is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with the following colors Shell – Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack, Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack and Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack.

The clouds are stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and die cut with coordinating die.  The grasses are die cut from a scrap of Old Olive card stock.

To see the demonstration for this card, here is the video:

The Designer Series Paper is the Rain or Shine DSP pack from the January-April Mini Catalog – and is part of the suite that this stamp set and dies are in.

Favored Flowers Birthday

Hi!  For today’s card, I am showcasing the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper that you can earn FREE until Feb 28 with a minimum $50 purchase (prior to S/H and tax) in my on-line store.

DSP, Designer Series Paper, Favored Flowers DSP, #SAB2023, Stampin' Up!, SU!, Birthday

I love when I can use our gorgeous Designer Series Paper as the star of the card.  This paper is SO pretty, it doesn’t need anything more than a ribbon and a sentiment.   The sentiment is from the Beautifully Happy Stamp set – also FREE during Sale-A-Bration with a $100 purchase (prior to S/H and tax).

The sentiment is stamped on a scrap of Basic White in JetBlack StaZon and punched with the Double Oval punch.  A scrap of Petal Pink cardstock was used to punch the scallop oval from the Double Oval punch.  To finish the card, attach a piece of Petal Pink Soft Polyester Ribbon near the bottom and then use a smaller piece of the ribbon to tie a knot around it.  This method allows the ends of the ribbon to lie horizontal on the card.

The base of the card is Thick Basic White and the DSP is attached after the ribbon is attached.  The sentiment is attached using Mini Dimensionals.

Now, a little late, but here is the winner of the Counting Sheep Bundle!

Congratulations to Vonda for winning the Counting Sheep Bundle during my 18th Stampaversary Give Away!  I’ll be in touch soon to get your information to get this in the mail to you!

Thanks so much for joining me today!  Wishing you a great start to your weekend!

Dragonfly Note

Hi!  I have a very quick card to share with you today using the Dragonfly Garden and Watercolor Shapes stamp sets in the Annual Catalog.

Friendship, Note, Dragonfly Garden, Watercolor Shapes, Stampin' Up! #simplestamping, Happy Labels

I love the clean and simple look of this card and think it is perfect for jotting down a quick note and sending it on its way.

The Watercolor Square is stamped in Balmy Blue ink.  The dragonfly is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  A Black Stampin’ Write marker is used to make the flight trail.   The sentiment is from the Happy Labels stamp set found in the January-April Mini and is also stamped in Tuxedo Black ink.

The base of the card is Thick Basic White – measuring 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″ and folded.

Do you like the clean look or is to too plain?

However you spend your day, I hope it’s a good one.

Thanks for stopping by!

Fabulous Fancy Flora

Hi!  Happy Friday! Today I have a One Sheet Wonder (OSW) to share with you using the Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper in the January-April Mini Catalog.

I had wanted to create a 6″x6″ OSW to help my customers use the papers they received in their Designer Series Paper Share for this Mini and for Sale-A-Bration.  Here is my cutting layout for the paper:

One Sheet Wonder, OSW, Designer Series Paper, DSP, Fancy Flora, Stampiin' Up!, #JanAprilMini2023

Cut the 6″x6″ in half so you have 2 pieces that are 3″ x 6″.  Cut one of the pieces in half so you have 2 pieces measuring 3″x3″.  Cut the second 3″x6″ at 4″, so you have a 4″x3″ and 2″x3″.  Cut the 4″x3″ into 3 1″ pieces – keeping them in order.

Here is Card 1:

Fancy Flora DSP, Charming Sentiments, OSW, Stampin' Up!, #JanAprilMini2023

The base of the card is Basic White Thick cardstock, measuring 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4″ and folded.  The 3″x3″ DSP is matted on a piece of Soft Suede cardstock measuring 3 1/8″ x 3 1/8″.  The layer behind is Soft Suede cardstock measuring 2″ x 5 1/2″ and embossed with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.  The sentiment is from Charming Sentiments in the Annual Catalog and stamped with Soft Succulent Ink.

Here is Card 2:

Fancy Flora, OSW, Campology, Grove Dies, Book Binding Technique, Stampin' Up!, #AnnualCatalog2023, #JanAprilMini2023

For Card 2, I flipped over the Designer Series Paper to make a masculine card.  I also decided to do the Book Binding Technique – which is very easy.  The base of the card is Basic White,  measuring 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″ and 5″.  Fold as normal at 4 1/4″.  Fold up on the 5″ score line.  Attach of piece of Burlap ribbon using Tear & Tape to the front of the card between the two folds.  Then use two strips of Tear & Tape on the inside between the two folds to adhere the 3/4″ strip to create the binding.  Attach the two pieces of Designer Series Paper to a piece of Soft Suede cardstock measuring 3 1/4″ x 5 1/4″.  Attach to the card base.  Stamp the sentiment from Charming Sentiments in Soft Suede ink on a scrap of Basic White and die cut with coordinating die.  Stamp the trees from Campology on a piece of Basic White measuring 2″ x 3 1/2″ in Evening Evergreen ink.  Use a Soft Suede Stampin’ Write marker to color in the trunks of the trees.  Attach to a piece of Soft Suede card stock measuring 2 1/8″ x 3 5/8″ and adhere to card front.   Die cut a deer using the Grove dies from Early Espresso scrap.  Attach to card front  Attach sentiment at bottom.

Here is Card 3:

OSW, Fancy Flora, Charming Sentiments, Two-Tone Flora, Stampin' Up!, #JanAprilMini2023

I love this layout – and I am sure you have seen it in the past here on my blog.  But if not, I highly encourage you to use it as I believe you’ll love it as much as I do.  Attach the 1″x4″ pieces of  DSP to 1 1/8″ x 4 1/8″ strips of Soft Suede cardstock.  Similar to the DSP, you can start with a piece of cardstock measuring 3 3/8″ x 4 1/8″, then cut into 3- 1 1/8″ strips.  The base of this card is Basic White Thick cardstock measuring 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″ and folded.  You can stagger the placement of the strips as I did, or you can align them across your card front.  Using the large flower from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set, stamp the base of the flower in Crumb Cake ink and the details in Soft Suede ink.  Die cut with coordinating dies.  Stamp the leaves in Soft Succulent and die cut with coordinating dies.  Stamp the sentiment in Night of Navy ink on a scrap of Basic White and die cut with the coordinating Sentiment Silhouettes die.  Attach the flower and leaves to the card front and then attach the sentiment.

Here is the FaceBook Live I did showcasing the cuts and how each card was made:

I hope you have enjoyed my One Sheet Wonder and give it a try.

Flora Thanks

Hi!  How are you?  Today I am back participating in Kylie Bertucci’s International Blog Highlights!  The theme is Thanks and here is the card I have created:

Thtanks, Two-Tone Flora, Shimmer, #kyliesinternationalhighlights, Stampin' Up!, #JanAprilMini2023

I love the new Texture Shimmer Paper in the January-April Mini catalog – and paired it here with the Fancy Flora 6″x6″ Designer Series Paper.

I decided to pull the colors from the Fancy Flora paper for my stamped images from the Two Tone Flora stamp set that coordinates with the Designer Series Paper.   I used Blushing Bride and Calypso Coral for my flower and Soft Succulent for the leaves.  These are die-cut with the coordinating dies.

I wanted to bring some shimmer to the flower to match the shimmer from the Textured paper, so I colored the flower with Clear Wink of Stella.  Not sure how easy it is to see in the picture, but it does sparkle in real life.

Two Tone Flora, Thank You, Stampin' Up!, #JanAprilMini2023

The sentiment is from Artistically Inked in the Annual Catalog and stamped in Calypso Coral ink.  It is die cut using the Scalloped Contours Dies.    To finish the card, 3 Rhinestones were colored with the Dark Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blend and placed in the upper right corner of the sentiment.

Card dimensions:

  • Base – Balmy Blue – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″ and folder
  • Balmy Blue Textured Shimmer – 5 1/4″ x 4″
  • Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper – 4 1/2″ x 3 1/4″

If you like my card, I’d love for you to vote for it in Kylie’s Highlights post here: https://bit.ly/February2023VoteforMe  Just click on the heart in the upper right corner to cast your vote.

Kitty Valentine

Hi!  Back today with another Valentine for you – this time using the Love Cats stamp set.

Valentines, Love Cats, Stampin' Up!, #JanApril2023Mini

As a cat lover, I couldn’t resist this stamp set from the Mini Catalog.   They are just so cute.

This card features a play with Patterned Paper – I combined prints from the Country Gingham DSP 6″x6″ pack and the Country Floral Lane DSP 12″x12″ pack.   No surprise that the colors coordinate since they are both part of the Country Floral Lane Suite in the Mini Catalog.

My base is Balmy Blue – measuring 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″ and folded.  The gingham strip measures 5 1/2″ x 1″, the Balmy Blue and Mint Macaron Heart piece measures 4″ x 2″, and the Balmy Blue mat behind the cat measures 3″ x 3″.

The cat is stamped in Memento Black ink and the heart is colored with the Dark Real Red Stampin’ Blend.  He is die cut with the second largest square from the Stylish Shapes die set.

The sentiment -also from the Love Cats stamp set, is stamped in Memento Black as well.

I had fun playing with the different pieces of Designer Series Paper and hope you are inspired to try the same.

Before I sign-off, I wanted to mention that I am celebrating 18 years as a demonstrator this month and am offering a special for purchase of $50 (prior to S/H and tax) through Feb 10 when made in my on-line store using this link:  https://www.stampinup.com?hostcode=QMC2ZDAY

You will get your choice between two tutorials – one features Fancy Flora from the Mini catalog and the other features He’s the Man from the Annual catalog.    You will also receive a FREE pack of Heart Pearls featured in the Annual Catalog.    I want to THANK YOU for supporting my business and allowing you to share my creativity with you.

Thanks for stopping by.
