Love Notes

The Love Notes 6 X 6 Mix and Match Designer Series Paper is one that I had totally overlooked. My upline, Brian King, shared some cards he had made by cutting this paper apart. Oh My!! I was sold. And then it was out of stock of course. But I hopped on it when it was available again. And it is still available.

I will be sharing the cards I created with this paper in the next couple of posts. Today’s is the first one. They are all very simple to do but fabulous for quick Valentine Cards. Here is the first one.

Quick and Easy

That is the title for all of these cards. The DSP pieces are so cute that they can stand alone almost. This one I did layer on a piece of Basic White. Even the strip of hearts is from this paper. It was a cut off piece that just fit perfectly as a strip of love. The best part is there is no stamping involved until you get to the inside for my sentiment.

Extras

The card is so simple, and I apologize for continuing to say that, it only required a bit of DSP and an embellishment. The card base is Real Red and has the layer of Basic White. For the bling I used a trio of White Moody Palette Glossy Dots. These are in a few different colors and small. And that is the card!

Hearts and Love

Apologies everyone. I have been busy and am out of the routine of posting. UGH!! However, I do have a pretty card to share with you. This is a mix of products that could be to show love to anyone, a wedding, or for upcoming Valentine’s Day. I was really happy how it turned out.

Endless Love Bundle

There are several “hearts” on this one. For me the die cut hearts are the best. Thee are from the Endless Love Bundle. The center of the large heart was not wasted. It is on the inside of the card. You can see it, along with the sentiment from the bundle. This wonderful paper is from the Regal Distressed Designer Series Paper. I think this paper is so pretty and was thrilled when I checked to make sure it was still avaialble.

Fun Fold

To continue the fun, I also made this one as a bookfold. Fun Folds are always the best. And when they are easy, that is the top of the line for me. To make a bookfold is so easy. Cut a piece of cardstock to 4 1/4 X 11 and score at 4 1/2 and 5 1/2. Then adhere the area between the two scores lines to the back of the card. You can see that in the first photo easier I believe. When I wrapped my ribbon, it is adhered between the layers.

Vellum

The second star of the card is the embossed vellum. Vellum is great for a die cut layer but can be a bit tricky when embossing. You may be able to see the couple of tiny tears on edges where there was a heart. For me this is not a problem at all. I love the special look it gives and after all it is a handmade card. This wonderful embossing folder is one I have used previously. It is the Hearts of Love 3D Embossing Folder. I need to say that vellum is difficult to adhere without the adhesive showing through. I have the most amount of adhesive behind the heart. Then I added light touches of multi purpose glue on the corners using a small brush. Put the glue on your silicone mat and then pick it up with the brush.

Extras

There are only two extras today. The first is the pretty ribbon. This is the Gold and White Ribbon. I love the flecks of gold throughout. Of course this has it matching the gold in the DSP as well as a special look for this Valentine card. The second extra is a retired product. But I have several packages of the Heart Sequins. If you loved them as much as I do/did, then you may have some left as well. If not, any gold embellishment would easily replace them.

Sweet Blooms

I am still loving the Stone & Vines Embossing Folder. It pairs with so many stamp sets. Today’s card is a “lovely” one mixing the vines along with Sweet Blooms. I am loving the mix of colors for this one as well.

The Sweet Blooms Bundle

This great bundle is from the Annual Catalog. Since I was packed up for the move several months I have missed playing with quite a lot from the catalog. So I am going back through and finding wonderful products. This is one of them. The sentiment is stamped and fussy cut, then paired with the “lovely” die cut from the matching Die set. These are more spread out than I would normally arrange them. But I did not want to cover up the floral part any more than necessary. It took some playing around.

Florals In Bloom Designer Series Paper

The sentiments are stamped or die cut, and that is all of the stamping other than the inside of this card. The pretty floral arrangement is die cut or fussy cut from the DSP. I wish I could color the flower as beautiful as the pink one is. So I opted to let the professionals do it for me. LOL!!

Stone & Vines Embossing Folder

Once again I have turned to this wonderful new 3D embossing folder. And it is really 3D! Actually this one was embossed at the same time as the previous card using this folder. Having used the two tone Garden Green cardstock, I did one from each side to show the different colors. Although the center of that cardstock is white as you can see from the definition of the leaves. This is the darker of the two sides. You can see the previous card HERE.

Extras

The card base is Petunia Pop to match the flower. I am thrilled with how well it pairs with the Garden Green. To further that pairing, I used the Garden Green Chevron Ribbon to wrap around the layer a couple of times. This was a perfect grounding for the flowers. The final Extra is the bling. This is once again the Sparkle Dot Essentials. I love these with their extra sparkle, the different colors, and sizes, plus they are flat. Many wins all in one with these embellishments.

Encircled With Love

My card I have to share today is made from the same template as yesterday. I wanted to show you how different the same base can appear. Having a simple Go To template can be a lifesaver when we need a quick card. Quick does not mean it is not a wonderful card.

Encircled With Love stamp set

The sweet sentiment I chose for this card is one that I love. It is simple, sweet, and says you care about the recipient. To go along with my Valentine idea card, I stamped using Real Red Ink. The hearts in the paper are Real Red, Strawberry Slush and Bubble Bath. This stamp set, Encircled With Love, is in the Annual Catalog in the DVD style case. Now Stampin’ Up! has issued it in the new style cases as well. If you choose the new style, be aware that it is a different product number. The new style case number is 169090.

Made With Love Designer Series Paper

These strips are the same as yesterday’s card and measure 1 X 5. This time I placed the card in landscape layout and used two different patterns from this fun DSP. To center the strips I used my grid paper to place the center one and then came in from each side. I thought I would make a simpler one and leave off the layer behind the strips.

Extras

To create the focal layer I used the 1 3/4′ and 2″ Circle Punches. The 2″ is Strawberry Slush with the stamped image cut with the 1 3/4″. I love circles for a clean and simple card. To add a bit more texture I also used the Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon as I did yesterday. Instead of a small neat bow I went with a large and looser bow behind the sentiment layer. And for my bling Rhinestones were called in. The sentiment has three little star shapes. So a trio of rhinestones, one on each star, seemed the perfect fit.

Hugs!

I am a person who loves Hugs. When the Endless Love Bundle arrived, I knew I would be using the Hugs & Kisses stamp quite often. Today I have used it in conjunction with a sketch challenge my upline Brian King did for our Team meeting. It is a simple one that can be used over and over.

The Sketch

The three vertical stripes with two angled rectangles was the original sketch from Brian. Each strip is 1 X 5. I layered my strips on a piece of Strawberry Slush cardstock. Then added it to the Flirty Flamingo base. All of my color choices are from the DSP. However I went with hearts in place of the rectangles. That is what makes this sketch so versatile. A simple change and it looks totally different.

Made With Love Designer Series Paper

The Made With Love DSP is so fun. It has the prerequisite of hearts in several different patterns. But they are not mushy or child like. I do love the different shades of red and pink. This piece has Real Red and Bubble Bath in the hearts.

Focal Layers

In place of the rectangles Brian shared on his card, I used two die cut hearts. Then I added the fabulously detailed arrow. It is almost like a texture and bling mixed together. I fell in love with it as soon as it was cut.

The sentiment is of course the one I love. It and the dies are from the Endless Love Bundle. And the little stamped hearts are from the set as well. They offered a softer background than the plain white would have been.

Finishes

There is bling and more texture to tie all of my pieces together. I added a bow using the Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon. Attaching it to the arrow made the arrow even more bold. For bling I used a single large size of the Sparkle Dot Essentials. This is a multi color and varying sizes of almost flat bling. That is the perfect kind!

Vines & Smiles

I have a quick and simple card to share with you but also an amazing discovery as well. Actually I did not make the discovery and I am not really sure who did. However, it is worth sharing by everyone. And the best part is that it is a simple 3D Embossing Folder and cardstock. The trick is to use the Two-Toned cardstock. This cardstock arrived this past year and has not gotten a lot of play time from me. Well, that is about to change!

Stone & Vine 3D Embossing Folder

First off this folder is amazing! I love the vines and then the softer look of stone in the background. However the white showing through in the paper is the star of the show. The new Two-Tone Cardstock is a lighter shade of the same color on one side with the darker on the other. The main difference to regular cardstock is that it has a white center. So by embossing with the 3D folder, the white shows through. It is as if you sanded off some of the color. What an amazing look and simply by dry embossing the cardstock!

Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper

The pretty floral print center of this card is cut from the DSP. There are two sheets in the Lovely Blossoms DSP that can be cut apart and used as card fronts or layers. I chose to fussy cut the white away and leave only the flowers on the Cloud Clover background.

Beautifully Celebrated Dies

To create the rest of the focal layer background, I wanted a pretty layer. I found the layering dies included in the Beautifully Celebrated Die set to fit perfectly. There are several of this style that layer. This one is the 3rd from largest. My fussy cut flower piece fit perfectly. I opted for a simple white layer, even though I had just cut away the white the flowers were printed on. Oh well!

Sweet Blooms stamp set

This wonderful sentiment is from the Sweet Blooms set. I love the phrases Stampin’ Up! has produced lately that are similar to this. My idea of a good card is one that makes someone smile. And the font of this one is just fabulous in my book. I have been on a fussy cutting binge lately and this was another fussy cutting victim. Since the flowers are sort of small, I did not want the sentiment to cover them overly much.

Extras

There is only Bling as an extra today. This trio are from the Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots. These are very shimmery! So just what the card ordered. I chose the Secret Sea dots to highlight the flower centers as well as the sentiment. OOPS!! As I was adding the supply list for this card, I saw these dots are no longer available. I am so sorry!

Flowers For Ewe

I have a fun card to share with you today. My stamp club ladies sort of roll their eyes when I bring out a project with a whimsical animal. I am definitely a sucker for the Stampin’ Up! animal images. The one today is super cute, and very fluffyf!

Wooly Friends Punch Bundle

The Wooly Friends “ewe” is just adorable. The fact it is a punch bundle seals the deal for me. I always love the punches. She is stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and punched out. I added some makeup to her face with Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends on her cheeks and a touch for her ears.

The sentiment is simply a sweet one and works for so many occasions. To fit everything on the die cut, I did die cut first and then stamp the sentiment and the flowers. The flowers are stamped using Memento also, then filled with Flirty Flamingo and Garden Green. I love the addition of the grass.

Made With Love Designer Series Paper

This sweet DSP has hearts on one side and then compatible designs on the other side. I opted to use the other side as my band. The cardstock is Poppy Parade for the card base and again for the large Die layer. It actually shows better against the DSP in person.

Hearts of Love 3D Embossing Folder

The detail on this embossing folder is fabulous. All of the little hearts swirling around are so nice. And this one is also something that could be used for a lot of similar cards. I did not intend this one to be a Valentine card, more of a Thinking of You.

Extras

The two Die cut layers are from the Nested Essentials Dies. These are so versatile with the different shapes. I would feel lost without them. And to finish the card I added some low profile bling. Actually these are the Low Profile Dots that are (or maybe were) on the Last Chance List. I hope you have some because they go with almost anything. They are the little black dress of card making!

A Round Hello

This post name is not exactly the name of the stamp set. It is however close, and very fitting as this stamp set brings back the “Round” punches that I love. I shared one yesterday as well with the round focal point. You can see that one HERE if you missed it.

You can see that this is a fun fold of sorts. It is a simple one though. And here is the inside view.

A Round of Hellos stamp set

The stamps used on the front are all from the A Round of Hellos set. There are a few sayings and more “round” pieces. I chose this half flower to go along with the leaves. This set also pairs with the 2 3/8″ and 2″ Circle Punches. Both of these are used in the “round” focal area.

Paper

To get the brightness I wanted on a cold and windy day here north of Atlanta, I went with the Brights 6X6 Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalog. From that I pulled Melon Mambo and Lemon Lime Twist. The base of the card is Melon Mambo. It is a simple cut of 6 1/2 X 5 1/2 and scored on the long side at 2 1/4. The two DSP strips are both the same sheet, I used front and back, and measure 2 1/8 X 5 3/8. The inside one is adhered to the Basic White that is 4 1/8 X 5 3/8.

The circles were punched with the Circle Punches. It was the 2 3/8″ Circle for the Lemon Lime Twist DSP and then 2″ Circle for the stamped flower. The flower is raised using Stampin’ Dimensionals where the DSP is adhered using Multi-purpose Liquid Glue. Remember to only add the glue to the half attaching to the left side!!

Bling

The papers are pretty on their own, but there still must be bling. I went a bit extra today with the 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls. These are Strawberry Slush but close enough. There are three sizes of each of the colors and I used all three sizes. You should be able to find 5 of the pearls scattered around.

To finish the card I wanted a touch of texture as well. My go to is a small bow. This is a double bow made using the White Bakers’ Twine from the Essentials Twine pack.

Sparkles for Your Birthday

Sorry I was absent a couple of days. We are still cleaning out our old house. My goodness the things we save!! LOL!! But I have a quick and shiny card to share with you today. This one is using a stamp set that I fell in love with immediately and it did not seem to be on other folk’s radar at all. So please let me know what you think.

The photography did not agree with the silver foil of the DSP. That is where the rainbow colors came in. It is really just silver foil in this gorgeous DSP.

Addressed To You

This fun name is actually the name of the stamp set. It is made to use on a card, but also has lines and an oval for stamping on envelopes for addresses. How cool is that!! I wanted a simple card and loved these little balloons.

The sentiment is also part of the stamp set. It is two separate stamps. The Happy works with another stamp as well. Even though the blue of the paper is Balmy Blue, I added some brightness by using Azure Afternoon. I love how it turned out.

Paper

The gorgeous Designer Series Paper is aptly named at Splash of Sparkles. It has silver foil mixed with the great colors on one side and then fun swirls of colors on the other. You will soon see the opposite sides and they are just as pretty.

To pair with the DSP I chose Pretty In Pink as the card base. The DSP section I chose to use has more blue than pink so I thought the pink was the way to go.

Extras

To create the circle for my sentiment and balloons I went the simple, old-fashioned way and used a circle punch. This is the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch. EXCEPT: I did not punch out the circle. At least not the one that is one the card. I used the negative of the circle to create a template to then use blending brushes to make my blue background. After stamping the balloons and sentiment, I used Paper Snips to fussy cut my circle. All of this was so the balloons could extend outside of the circle. Yes, I know I could have fussy cut the balloons but I wanted to be different.LOL!!

The final touch is the Petunia Pop Marker that I used around the circle to highlight it. This is something I love to do when you really do not want to add another layer. It is so quick and easy as well! And then Petunia Pop Iridescent Ribbon for a lot of texture. Finally the Sparkle Dot Essentials for some more bling! These dots are really nice and have a good bit of sparkle. Plus they are almost flat which is a super win in my book.

Hydrangea With A Diamond Shape

Fun Folds are my favorite type of card. This one is a simple one to create and adds wonderful interest at the same time. I call it a Diamond Card. You will be surprised at the simplicity and want to make your own.

As you can see, the diamond is part of the front of the card. An easy peasy but bold look.

Creative Haven Stamp Bundle

The front tag and sentiment, as well as the inside, are from the Creative Haven Bundle. I love the fun and bold sentiments in this set. And even better there are Dies that match the larger sentiments. That is a double win. I used a smaller sentiment for the inside as it is a smaller writing area than a full white layer on the inside. Here is the open view.

Here you see the additional DSP and the writing space with this sweet sentiment. Since these little stars are included I simply had to add them!

Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper

The fact this gorgeous DSP is still around makes me happy. Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers. They remind me of my childhood home. We had a couple of giant bushes. Since my preferred color is blue, even in hydrangeas, this paper is one I really love. With the Hydrangea piece as the front layer, I added a smaller pattern from the same pack to the inside. It is a small enough pattern that it doesn’t take away from the sentiment or your note. And the Secret Sea cardstock has really become one of my Go To colors!

Extras

There are a few additional “texture” points for this Diamond card. First is the tag with the sentiment. It is raised with Stampin’ Dimensionals for more depth. I always am happy to add a tag to a card. Since it is a tag, there is a hole for ribbon. I simply tied the bow from Cloud Cover ribbon and adhered it over the hole instead of trying to tie the bow through the hole. And finally a trio of Sparkle Dot Essentials are the bling. These are new and fabulous. Different sizes and colors of glittering flat dots. What could be better!!

Measurements

The card base is Secret Sea cardstock cut 4 1/4 X 9 and scored at 5 1/2 on the long side. For the diamond you need a Secret Sea piece cut to 3 X 3 (actually just a smidgen short of 3 X 3). This is adhered on the angle and at the end of the shorter front panel. Be sure to place your adhesive back from the center line so it doesn’t bleed over.

For the front I used a Basic White layer of 3 1/4 X 4 to have behind the hydrangea DSP. And 2 3/4 X 2 3/4 on the diamond. The hydrangea DSP is 3 1/8 X 3 7/8. On the inside of the card I have a Basic White that is 5 1/4 X 4 with the small print DSP at 2 1/4 X 3 7/8. Of course the Cloud Cover for the tag is more a scrap but you need at least 2 1/2 X 3 1/2.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you enjoyed today’s project and will come back.  I do read and reply to all of the comments individually.  They mean a lot to me.  Please reach out if you have a question.

Smile and Keep On Stamping,

Jackie
