Much Appreciated

I have an adorable little Appreciated card to share today.  The various touches are fairly sweet and feminine.  There are a mix of small touches.

 

Stampin' Up!, wonderful thoughts, eyelet embossing folder, rhinestones, lemon lime, granny apple, daffodil, jackie beers

 

Bundle

It is a little difficult to decide where to begin in the products used.  The Wonderful Thoughts Bundle has a large and small part in this card.  The simply sweet sentiment is from the stamp set.  And the simple, yet pretty, die cut flower is from the matching Die set.  I rarely do a White on White card.  So this was a little twist to that.  White with a touch of color.

Background

This embossed background is the Eyelet Embossing Folder.  I almost skipped over this in the catalog because it seemed more feminine and simple than I usually do.  Of course then I began seeing cards using it, and like always, I had to have it! LOL!!  These little eyelets were the perfect choice for this card I believe.

Colors 

To provide the touch of color that allows the Die cut flower to stand out was simple.  Thinking in terms of the colors the flower might be, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight, and Lemon Lime Twist were the easy choices.  And to not have the sentiment be too loud, it is stamped on the Lemon Lime Twist using Granny Apple Green Ink.  All of these colors really compliment the White on White of the base and background.  And help the little flower to pop.

Finishes

This card is so clean and simple that it did not require much in the way of add ons.  A small touch that really adds to it however is the rounded corners.  On each of the color strips there are opposite corners that are rounded.  Any corner punch you have will work.  And then to finish everything there had to be bling.  After layering everything else, the bling was simple to place one Rhinestone on each of the strips.

Vertical Easel Card

I am sharing a pretty card today that is a bit of a twist on your regular easel card.  My friend, the Paper Pixie, shared this card and I fell in love with it.  The star of the card is the gorgeous Splendid Autumn DSP.

 

Stampin' Up!, splendid autumn, nested essentials, autumn expressions, shimmer gems, old olive, fresh freesia, jackie beers

 

Papers

These sheets of DSP from t he Splendid Autumn Designer Series paper pack are beautiful and created by the Stampin’ Up! Design Artists.  Those folks are seriously talented.  This sheet I used doesn’t necessarily say Autumn, but was so pretty that I used it anyway.

The other colors were pulled from the DSP of course.  I chose a darker background of Old Olive for the card base.  And with the pop of Basic White for a layer everything seems to really shine.  The most difficult to choose was the sentiment layer.  I ended up with Fresh Freesia.  But I held up every light pinkish purple we have to see which looked best.  The Fresh Freesia was a definite winner.  Plus it further takes it away from Autumn.  This shows the range of uses with this package of DSP for sure.

Stamps

The beautifully scripted sentiment is one of two from the Autumn Expressions stamp set that I used.  The other is on the inside of the card.  I wanted something that was bold and would stand out from the papers.  This worked both in size and beauty.  It really gets the sentiment across to the recipient!

Extras

The extras on this card are simple as is everything else.  I used the two largest of this rounded rectangle frame from the Nested Essential Dies.  They really named this Die set appropriately.  It truly is an essential between the circles, rectangles and banners.

The second “extra” is a simple one.  I used a single bling to adorn the sentiment layer.  This is one of the lighter pinks from the 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gens.  The boldness of the sentiment really did not need much assistance to stand out.

Measurements

The measurements are simple.  However, The Paper Pixie on 10-09-2024 episode demonstrated this.  She has the video as well as measurements on her page.  NOTE:  The mechanism which allows the sentiment layer to stand free is the trick to this card.  My first time making it, I adhered the panels prior to adding this mechanism.  Don’t do like I did!!

  • The card base is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 scored at 2 1/8 and 4 1/4.
  • The inside White is 4 X 5 1/4. The two front panels White measures 1 7/8 X 5 1/4 each.
  • The DSP was cut down from 6 X 6, to 6 X 5 1/8. Then cut two strips that are 1 3/4 X 5 1/8 and one that is 1 X 5 1/8. Keep these in order to show the scene properly. You also have a leftover piece for later.
  • The mechanism is a piece of Fresh Freesia measuring 2 X 2 that is scored at 1, turned and cut at 1. This leaves two 1 X 2 pieces that are scored across the middle.
  • After adhering the DSP to the two White layers, add a mechanism to the underside of the inside , centered, of each. You are adhering the strip under the white and in the center which leaves the other half standing up.  Place these so they are back to back when the two panels are attached to the card.
  • After stamping and Die cutting the sentiment layers, fold the mechanisms over their panels and add adhesive to them.  Now simply center the sentiment over top.  This allows the sentiment to swing free when the panels stand up.
  • The final step is to adhere the inside White panel. Next add the thin DSP strip, WITH Dimensionas against the right edge.  The DSP strip is the bumper for the easel and needs the height from the dimensionals.

Again, if this is confusing, The Paper Pixie has a great video.

Cheer

Today’s card is a bit different than my usual ones.  I have created a “window” scene.  This one is like looking through the trees.

 

Stampin' Up!, reindeer fun, reindeer days, earth tone shimmer gems, mossy meadow, jackie beers

 

Stamp and Die Bundle

This card was created using the Reindeer Fun Bundle.  Not only are there Dies to cut the adorable reindeer from, but also this beautiful little “window” you can create.  I cut through the front layer of the card and added the DSP with Stampin’ Dimensionals to give it some depth.  It makes me think of some of the Christmas cartoon movies where you are seeing the animals decorating trees and having fun.

The sentiment is also from the stamp set.  I really debated how to showcase it.  There are several layer Dies that would fit this larger sentiment, but I felt they would take away from the “window”.  So I opted to go extremely simple and just Fussy Cut it.  By going along with the shapes in the wording it gave the sentiment a different look.  It may not have been the best choice, but it works.

Papers

The card base of Mossy Meadow was pulled from the DSP you see.  Plus the Mossy Meadow is an appropriate color for the fir tree looking branches of the “window”.  This fun DSP is a sheet from the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper.  Here is a look that you see on the inside of the card.  I also added a touch of lights from a different sheet in the pack to enhance the tree decorating idea.

 

 

I love seeing that bold plaid on the inside.  And you see the sentiment from yesterday’s little mouse card.  The only finishes are the Earth Tone Shimmer Gems that I used to decorate the front sentiment.  They look like they have nailed it down for me.

Christmas Mouse

I have been holding off on Christmas cards for a bit.  There are so many Fall ones to make.  But I finally have given in and gotten start on Christmas.  If you know me, then you know my first one is one of the sweet animals!

 

Stampin' Up!, christmas friends, reindeer fun, circle punch, red and white twine, granny apple green, jackie beers

 

Stamps

The Christmas Friends set was the first on my list from the Mini Catalog.  You all know how much I love the animals the Stampin’ Up! designers create.  This set is a keeper for sure.  In real life, mice are one of the things that seriously give me the creeps.  However, this little guy is just precious!  He is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored using Stampin’ Blends.  They are listed in the supply list at the bottom of the post.

Papers

This sweet paper, that matches the bell on the mouse’s tail, is fabulous!  This is a sheet from the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper.  Somehow when doing my preorder I missed this paper.  So once I received a pack I was ready to begin my Christmas cards.  Since this is a fun card, I used Granny Apple Green to pair with the Real Red of the DSP sheet.  A thin Basic White layer helps make the DSP pop.  I also used those colors for the song book the mouse is holding.  And of course his bell had to be Real Red with a Granny Apple Green bow.

Extras

To make this a card that could easily be made in multiples, I used punches for the focal layers.  I used the 2″ and 2  3/8″ Circle punches for the circles behind the mouse.  These are so easy to simply punch away!  This sentiment is also from the Reindeer Fun stamp set.  It is one long sentiment and that did not work on this layout.  So I cut it in half and then did a tad bit of fussy cutting around the “R” and “S” of Christmas.  Now I liked how the sentiment fit.

To complete the card there had to be bling!  So I added a single Rhinestone Basic Jewel next to the mouse.  For a little more texture, I added a double strand of the Real Red & White Bakers Twine with a double bow.  It doesn’t show a ton, but does give some texture and help ground the circles.

Checked Birthday

I have a simple and fun birthday card.  This one uses bits and pieces of leftover papers and embossed card stock.  Plus one of the inexpensive stamp sets for the fun part.

 

Stampin' Up!, enjoying little things, natures sweetness, plaid embossing folder, sparkle gems, circle punch, jackie beers

 

 

Stamps

This cute stamp set is called the Enjoying Little Things set.  And it is just that.  The pieces are little, except for the two larger stamps, and are all fun and cute.  I chose the bold Happy Birthday from the set.  A bonus is that this stamp fits the 2 2/8 Circle Punch.  Punches always make the process quicker and easier.  I also used a retired 1″ Circle Punch for the cake.

To add some texture to the card I stamped the partial checkerboard looking stamp down the right hand side.  It is tone on tone of the Peach Pie.  I also used it, stamped off first, behind the cake so as not to have white on white so the cake popped a bit.

Papers and Extras

The pretty White and Gold semi checked paper is from the Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper.  Because it was on my desk already, I used the Pecan Pie piece that has been embossed using the Plaid Embossing Folder.  This folder is awesome in the details.  Plus it is just now back in stock!  And the card base is Peach Pie card stock to soften the darker colors.

To finish the card I always like some bling.  Since these colors are a little darker than my norm, I wanted some extra sparkle.  I chose the Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems.  These are amazing.  They are sparkly and flat.  Plus there are gold, silver and black in two different sizes of each.

Puddle Fun

Fun Fold cards are my favorites.  And this one is a fun twist on a simple fold.  I cased from another demonstrator, Elizabeth Price, and she named it a Kickstand card.

 

Stampin' Up!, playing in the rain, spotlight on nature dies, take to the sky, country lace, boho blue, jackie beers

 

The Fun Fold

This fold is quick to create.  It begins with a 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 card stock that is scored at 4 1/4.  I used Boho Blue for my card base. The “fun” part comes next.  Place one end that measures 5 1/2 on the Paper Trimmer at 1 1/4″ and cut down to the score line.  Flip the card over and cut at 1 3/4 on the opposite side.  You are making the top section of your card into three sections.  (NOTE:  You do not have to make the cuts the same as mine with one side larger.  They could be 1 1/2 on each side.)  The photo above shows the center section with the focal layer attached.  And here is the open view.

 

 

To create the the center flap or kickstand, add DSP measuring 5 1/2 X 4 1/4 to the top of the other two sections.  You can see what I am describing in this above photo and the next one.  The plaid paper is the back side of the clouds.

 

 

The kickstand , the DSP adhered to the cut sections, and then the opposite side of the DSP allows you to have three places to decorate.  That is in addition to the inside sentiment / signature part.  More is generally better in my book.

Stamps and Dies

The stamps used are from the Playing In The Rain stamp set.  They are stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored with a variety of Stampin’ Blends.  For the sentiment White layer, I added some rain, which is included in the stamp set.  As well as the sentiment from it.  The rain is stamped using Pool Party Ink.  There are matching Dies for animal shapes and a few extras.  The circles are from the Spotlight On Nature Dies.  These are just large enough to fit the characters and then layer well to not see the one on the lower layer.  I did use a punch as well.  The strip of extra paper for the flower layer is punched on each end using the Happy Labels Punch.

Papers

The DSP was chosen as part of the theme of playing in the rain.  I thought these clouds fit perfectly.  This sheet of DSP is from the Take To The Sky Designer Series Paper.  The inside gray plaid does not really fit the theme, but works with the other colors.  Boho Blue was my choice of colors to pull from the clouds and as the card base.  To emphasize the smaller flower layer, I added a strip from the Country Lace Designer Series Paper as a grounding piece for it.  The soft tone matches the plaid.

This card is a bit on the thicker side with the different layers of added focal points.  So I kept the bling to some thin ones.  The clear bling on the front layer is from the Pecan Pie & Clear Ribbon Dots.

Retro News

The Tune In Bundle is a quirky and fun one for some retro cards.  The old TV consoles were like a main piece of furniture in a room.  Now we have thin, large screens that can hang on the wall.  My how times change.

 

Stampin' Up!, Tune In, dotted circles, sparkle gems, granny apple, daffodil delight, jackie beers

 

Stamp Bundle

The Tune In Bundle is such a fun one.  There are so many ways to use this retro looking set.  Today’s card is a simple version.  I kept the additions to a minimum for a cleaner look.  I had shared another version a while back.  You can see that wilder version by clicking HERE.

This card reminds me of the evening news, or even mid day, when something “special” happened.  We would see the “News Flash” pop up.  It is hard to believe that this and a newspaper were our means of information back then.  That is why I kept this card fairly plain.  The TV and antenna are cut with the matching Die set.  As is the little stars around the card.  The screen is also a Die cut of White that I used the Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blend in Light to scribble on.  I think it gives it a bit of the old TV screen look.  And the flashing design is also from the Die set.

Background

The background layer is the awesome Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder.  This swirl of large and small dots definitely fits the retro look.  It is a little like the tie die designs.  This has been very popular and is out of stock.  But is back either this week or next.  I was not really interested in it originally.  That is shocking to me now as it is so fun and flexible.  Duh!!  With the scattered star designs it became a perfect retro background.

Finishes

This card is a bit plainer that I normally do.  So I gave it some added bling with the Sparkle Gems.  These are Silver, Black, and Gold sparkle gems that create a great Bling.   I added the silver to the stars and then some of the black ones scattered around for added bling.  As a bonus these are flat so great for mailing without adding additional bumps on the card.

 

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you have a great weekend.

Autumn Birthday

I keep hoping for Fall, or Autumn, weather and the leaves to begin changing.  That is not happening around here just yet.  So I made my own for a friend’s birthday card.  The Splendid Autumn DSP was the perfect Fall scene.

 

Stampin' Up!, Splendid Autumn, keeping tabs, faux glass, lemon lolly, jackie beers

 

Papers

This card is mostly about the paper so that is my starting point today.  The Splendid Autumn Designer Series paper has such wonderful scenes to choose from.  I was looking for Autumn color and this sheet really has them.  However I chose what may be considered an odd pairing to compliment it.  The Cajun Craze thin layer is an expected choice.  But the Lemon Lolly is probably not.  Looking at the yellows on the left of the DSP, I held that against different yellow card stock.  The Lemon Lolly was the definite one to help it pop.  I admit it is a total opposite from the darkness of the Cajun Craze.  They do work together and I am happy with the light and dark.

Stamp Bundle

There are only a couple of other pieces to this card besides the paper.  To say it was quick and easy is an understatement.  For a simple statement piece I went with the Keeping Tabs Punch Bundle.  This set is one of two in the Annual Catalog that gives us Bundle options.  You can either get a Die or a Punch.  I chose the punch.  This Tab is great for making little notebooks, or adding tabs to your catalogs.  I thought it was a great small sentiment layer without needing frills to accompany it.

The tab is punched from Lemon Lolly as well.  And then I stamped the small Happy Birthday from the stamp set.  Since the tab folds easily, I simply folded it over the DSP and Cajun Craze pieces.  As I said, Easy Peasy!

Finishes

This DSP is so busy that embellishments would be lost on it.  I wanted to add a bit of texture though.  The Bakers Twine Three Color Pack came to the rescue.  It is a pack that carried over to the Annual Catalog.  It contains a bright yellow, soft blue, and a pinkish coral.  The colors actually match quite a few of our colors.  I wrapped the twine around the layers twice and then tied a double bow.  The last embellishment is a single bling.  The Faux Glass Dots seemed a perfect fit.  They are in Fall colors and I used the darkest of the orange color.

Hidden Door Fun Fold

The Fun Fold I am sharing today is one I cased from Dawn Griffith.  I made a few changes but the fold is the same.  My card stars the Regal Floral Bundle and the Regal Winter Designer Series Paper.  Oh My!!! This paper is fabulous.

 

Stampin' Up! regal floral, regal winter, greetings of the season, labeled with love, so sincere, jackie beers

 

Papers

To me the star of this card is not only the fold, but the DSP.  This is the Regal Winter Designer Series Paper.  It is in the Mini Catalog.   I do not consider this Christmas paper, but any time of year paper.  I rarely use Blackberry Bliss card stock it seems.  But this paper fits perfectly with it.  That is great as I will be making more with the different patterns.  I have used two of the patterns here.  The large fold is the Blackberry Bliss and the small fold is the more Misty Moonlight.  I love both!

Here are the other two views of the card.  You can see the Fun Fold of it.

 

 

This view shows the “hidden door”.   It is a fold that keeps on giving!  And it is opportunity to showcase stamps and additional DSP.

 

Stamps and Dies

The Stamp and Die bundle is the one which pairs with the paper.  It is the Regal Floral.  Although I have added a few stamps from other sets.  Everything will be listed in the Supply List at the bottom of the post.  The front sentiment is from the So Sincere stamp set.  And the one inside the hidden door is from the Labeled With Love stamp set.

The flowers on the front are from the Regal Floral Bundle.  Matching Dies make this so easy to make.  The single little bud on the inside is also from that set.  And the sentiment layer Die is from the Greetings of the Season Dies.  It is a perfect size oval for a lot of our sentiment stamps.

How To Make It

The card is cased from Dawn Griffith and she has a great video that is very easy to follow along.  I made a few tweaks to my version.  Click Here to go to her video.  I did a few things differently.  I made the paper 10 9/16 X 3 1/2.  Her’s is 10 1/2.  The tiny bit less allows the door to close easily.  And I centered the folded inner card on the inside back panel instead of lining up with the flap.  Additionally I added the 1/4″ strip of DSP.  That was initially cut off because I cut wrong! LOL!!  After getting the card together, I decided it did not look equal on each side.  So the strip was the perfect equalizer so to speak.  If you have any questions that the video does not answer, please reach out to me.  I will be happy to help.

Fall Yum!!

This past weekend was our scheduled friends who are demonstrators weekend of stamping and fun.  The hurricane put a damper on it.  Not all of the ladies were able to get out of their states, and the weekend was cut short due to no power. In attempts to save our batteries we were only texting and calling home briefly.  It wasn’t until we were home and able to see the news before we realized exactly how lucky we were to only be without power.  My heart goes out to all of the people devastatingly effected by this storm.

I do have my cards to share with you though.  Those of us who attended were able to make each others cards and still had lots of fun and laughs.  The card I am posting today is another of the More Than Autumn Bundle.  This set is such a keeper!  It has components to fit so many occasions and seasons.

 

Stampin' Up!, more than autumn, deckled circles, snowy scenes, faux glass dots, jackie beers

 

Stamps and Dies

The More Than Autumn Bundle is, as I have said many times, fabulous!  All of the images are from this bundle.  The cup, foam, cinnamon stick (or straw), and sentiments are from the stamp set.  The images are all stamped using Cajun Craze Ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends.  The foam is the only exception.  It is stamped using Petal Pink Ink.  I wanted it to seem like a light pumpkin color.

The images are all Die cut using the matching Die set.  The leaves do not have a matching stamp.  They are cut and look like the one on the right.  However the center pops out as I used it for the left side of the cup.  For the circles I used the Deckled Circles Dies.  They are 4th and 6th largest.  I trimmed off 3/4″ from the right side after layering them together.  The cup is raised using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Sentiment layer

The sentiment was difficult to find a place for.  So I created a stand alone pair.  Both pieces are stamped onto the Basic Beige card stock and then layered on Petal Pink.  For the Fall piece it is simple cut on the trimmer to even distances.  The longer sentiment is the same and then snipped on the ends using Paper Snips to create the banner tip.

Paper and Finishes

The papers used were based on the piece of DSP.  This is a reverse side of a sheet from the Snowy Scenes Designer Series Paper.  I saw this piece and immediately thought it should be paired with this stamp bundle.  All of the other paper choices were pulled from the DSP.  The base is Calypso Coral with Basic Beige as the layer.  With the exception of the Petal Pink for the sentiment layer of course.

The finishes were kept simple since the cup layer was quite a few pieces.  I simply added a scattering of the Faux Glass Dots.  These come in a couple of Fall colors.  I chose the one that closest matched my card colors.  And then left them out of the box when I packed for the retreat!  DUH!!!
