Sending Love

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! I hope you have shared at least one of your hand made card filled with love. I think all of our hand made cards are filled with love personally. But today is a special one. I looked for a set that maybe would not scream Valentine’s Day. And I believe I found it for today’s card.

Stampin' Up!, sending love, toadstool garden, shimmer gems, granny apple green, highland heather, jackie beers

STAMPS

The stamp set I found to spread love is the Sending Love stamp set. I only used the stamps with no Dies. And all of the stamps used are from this one set. The mail box is the main aspect and is not exactly colored traditionally! All of the coloring is done using Stampin’ Blends. I used Smoky Slate for the post but topped it with Highland Heather. And added Granny Apple Green for the mail box itself. I know this would not fly in most communities, but it can work in this card’s world.

To add the sentiment was a question for me. I knew I would have to cut it as this is one long sentiment. It really would not look proper being larger than the focal panel. There was this scrap of Peach Pie on my desk and the answer presented itself. I stamped on the Peach Pie and then simply cut the sentiment in half. This brought out yet another color of the DSP in a fun way. Plus pairs perfectly with the mail box theme.

PAPERS

These sheets of DSP are both from the Toadstool Garden Designer Series Paper. This is a Free 6X6 paper pack in Sale-A-Bration. With a qualifying order this is one of the products you can choose. SAB goes through the end of the month so you still have time to get some of the freebies!

I pulled all of the colors from the toadstool sheet of DSP. The Peach Pie was a surprise addition but I love how it helps those mushrooms to pop. The card base is Granny Apple Green. That striped sheet is a mix of Fresh Freesia and Highland Heather. Those are the colors I tried to add in to the mailbox panel.

EXTRAS

The trio of shimmer gems are all from the 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems. I used different shades of the pink/purple and then a Peach Pie one as well. This is a more whimsical card where it does not require elegant bling!

LAYERS

The card base measures 4 1/4 X 11 and is scored at 5 1/2. The two DSP strips are 2 1/2 X 5 1/8 for the left side and 2 X 5 for the right side. For the focal layer there is a thin layer of Granny Apple that measures 2 3/4 X 4 3/8 with the Basic White layer being 2 3/8 X 4 1/4.

Floral Birthday

I am so behind on making birthday cards this month. That being said I am taking a break from Valentine today and sharing one of the birthday cards. It is a mix of gorgeous DSP patterns from the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper pack. Why use just one sheet when they all layer so well!

Stampin' Up!, floral delight, unbounded love, mixed labels dies, pool party, jackie beers

PAPERS

These beautiful sheets of paper are from the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper pack. I chose the floral sheet first as the star of the card. Then I thought to look for a green that would layer instead of using card stock. This linen look sheet was perfect! Next for a sentiment strip I found the checked yellow piece. It was actually a scrap from a previous card. I always save my scraps for just this purpose.

The card base is Pool Party cardstock. It is shown in the floral layer as little highlights. To add a bit more of the Pool Party I used a scrap to stamp the Happy Birthday. It seems to tie the card together. For one last touch of cardstock I used a scrap of Old Olive to die cut the small leaf outline. It helps tie in with the floral leaves of the DSP.

STAMPS

The only stamping on this card front is the sentiment. The papers are so great that there was no need. And this makes it a pretty quick and easy card to make. This elegant font of Happy Birthday is from the Unbounded Love stamp set. It can stand alone as it is bold enough with the beautiful font to gain attention.

EXTRAS

There are two Die cut pieces for this card that count as extras. First is the little leaf next to the sentiment . It and the sentiment shape are from the Mixed Labels Die set. The sentiment layer is a great size plus the detailed edging really takes it up a notch. And the final extra is the bling. I restrained myself and with only one piece of bling. A single Pearl on the sentiment layer seemed plenty with all of the floral pattern.

LAYER MEASUREMENTS

The card base is cut to 5 1/2 X 8 1/2. None of the DSP pieces are directional, but if they were they should be cut landscape. The green pattern is cut 5 X 3 3/4 with the floral cut to 4 1/4 X 3. For the strip of checked DSP it measures 4 X 3/4 and then is angle cut on each end.

Beautiful Celebration

I am sharing a card made with a couple of the new additions to the Sale-A-Bration options. The new additions are all wonderful products and some are from current catalogs. That is not a regular occurrence. My card idea showcases the new Beautiful Butterflies Bundle and the Happy Labels Punch.

Stampin' Up!, beautiful butterflies, happy label punch, white and silver ribbon, adhesive sparkle gems, jackie beers

STAMP BUNDLE

The Beautiful Butterflies Bundle is a winner in my book. It includes the awesome stamp set with gorgeous butterflies. (The smallest is shown lighting on my banner) Plus a matching Die set, and a Hybrid Embossing Folder. I have used the embossing folder as my layer here. You can see the amazing details.

This background needed a bold sentiment as I wasn’t really adding a focal layer of the normal kind. The sentiment and the butterfly are from the stamp set. The butterfly is fussy cut as there is not a matching Die for it. But it is a quick one to cut out.

The stamp set is the only part of the bundle that has been added to the Sale-A-Bration options. If you choose this, with a qualifying order, remember to use the product number on the flyer or on your computer in the options. Do not use the catalog product number.

PAPERS

This idea of a simple but bold card first started with what color to use. I chose Granny Apple Green as the card base and Lemon Lolly for the layer. With some colors, the Lemon Lolly seems very light and does not really stand out. I was very pleased that it does stand out with the Granny Apple Green. To make a different type layer for the sentiment, I also used more of the Granny Apple Green. Color wise this is a simple card with only a couple of colors and no pattern papers.

EXTRAS

The first Extra is the second of the new Sale-A-Bration Options. It is the Happy Labels Pick A Punch. I cut the two layers for the sentiment and then punched the ends of both using the larger of the ticket look. The White is 3 3/4 X 3/4 and the Granny Apple Green is 4 X 1, or roughly those dimensions before punching.

To add sparkle and bling I went with two different options, but both are silver. The first is the ribbon. It is the White and Silver Ribbon. I love the shine it brings to the card. And then to add more silver shine, I opted to use the adhesive backed Sparkle Gems. These have several base colors and I used the silver one. You should see three of them scattered around.

Bookmark Card

I have a Bookmark Card using the new For The Books Stamp set as the highlight. The basics are pretty simple and offer so many ways to decorate. This is a case from Connie Stewart and is fairly quick to make.

Stampin' Up!, for the books, forever plaid, timeless plaid, labeled with love, heartfelt hexagon punch, jackie beers
Stampin’ Up!, For The Books, Jackie Beers

STAMPS

There are actually two different stamp sets used on today’s card. First is the new For The Books set. These stacked books on the front, along with the adorable glasses, are from the stamp set. I also added additional books on the inside as well as a fun sentiment from the set. Plus the bookmark itself has a funny sentiment that is perfectly fitting.

The front sentiment is from the Labeled With Love stamp set. This set has some “go to” stamps for me. The front one is one of those, as is the inside Happy Birthday. It is small and a nice mix of fonts. Here are the other two views of this card.

The addition of the strip of the DSP helps give the books a shelf to sit on. And I love that fun 5 star rating!

The DSP is added to all aspects of the card, including the bookmark. And this is another of the fun sentiments from the For The Books stamp set.

PAPERS

This card base was pulled from the DSP of course. The base is Basic Beige, which is a fabulous Neutral to have on hand. But the star is this Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper. Sadly it is still out of stock, but supposed to be back before long. I added a layer of Boho Blue cardstock behind the front DSP and to back the books on the front.

EXTRAS

There are several Extras today. First is the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder on the front bookmark holder. I felt this was appropriate to pair with the DSP. Next is the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch for the stack of books. I also punched from Boho Blue and cut that piece in half to act as a layer behind the White. It needed a bit of color to stand out some.

To finish off the bookmark, I used one of the Postage Stamp Dies to cut the bookmark sentiment. And added the Beige and Wild Wheat Ribbon as the ribbon pull. Finally, because there really were a lot of extras, the bling is a trio of the 2024-2026 Shimmer Gems.

Banner Window Card

The cute project for today is one I somewhat cased from a fellow demonstrator, Jenny Poederbach. I will be doing another version of this soon as it was fun and needs some tweaking on my part. The best part is that it stars one of my favorite new stamp sets and is a Fun Fold of sorts.

Stampin' Up!, one more year, beautiful butterflies, wild flower birthday specialty paper, circle punch, low profile dots, jackie beers

STAMPS

This paper is gorgeous, but one of my favorite stamp sets includes this cake with the zillion candles on it! I think this is so fun for our close friends who like myself are getting to the larger numbers in birthdays. Of course that is a good thing!! The stamp set is the One More Year set. It contains fun and sweet images as well as fun sentiments.

The front sentiment is not from the One More Year stamp set. It needed a simple sentiment. I really like this bold but simple Happy Birthday from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set. The inside sentiment is from this set as well. Here is a look at the inside of the card.

This photo shows how the front birthday cake and banner pull through the circle to the inside when opened. I think this is so fun! And now for the full view of the sentiment.

This Celebrate is from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp as well as the front sentiment. I offset it so part is seen with the banner and circle still down.

PAPERS

The gorgeous floral paper with addition of gold sections is from the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper. It is so elegant and just pretty! Of course the card base is pulled from the front floral panel. It is Blueberry Bushel. This is such a vibrant blue that everytime I pull it out I wonder why I do not use it more often.

The sweet pink check is the opposite side of the front panel. You can see that when the card opens. I added the layer of Pretty In Pink on the inside to compliment that pink check. And I love to stamp on DSP. Thankfully this check is light enough that using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink for the Happy Birthday shows up very well on the check. It was a nice way to add more of the check to the card.

EXTRAS

To create my “window” I went simple. I used the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch and then the 2″ Circle Punch for the birthday cake. For the bling, I went back to my current favorite. That is the Low-Profile Dots. These are in Pink and Gold and are almost flat. On previous cards I have only used the gold. I almost did again, but thought I would add some additional pink. There is one on the cake layer and then two are highlighting the center of two of the flowers.

Arched Birthday

I have had a hard time of getting my mind wrapped around the Online Exclusives. Basically I forget to look at them. I am old fashioned and love the catalog in my hand. However, now that I have begun checking out the Online offerings, I am in love. And looking on the website is becoming normal. I shop on websites all the time.

All of this said, today’s card is made with a fabulous Online Exclusive Die set. It is the Everyday Arches. There are several of them and they all layer. That is my favorite thing! So after all of my talking, here is the card.

Stampin' Up!, everyday arches, shadowed shapes, unbounded love, shaded spruce, regal foiled, jackie beers

STAMPS

The arches are what I began with, but this amazing stamp is also a star. It is similar to a stamp set we had previously that I loved. The name is Shadowed Shapes. And that is a perfect name for these stamps. When I saw this set of two stamps I knew I had to have it. The stamp is a negative really. To add color to the detailed cut out places I went over them carefully with Shaded Spruce and Real Red Stampin’ Write Markers. I used the direct to rubber technique of using the brush tip to gently go over the stamp. In this case it was going over the fine cut out pieces.

To begin with I had to decide on the solid color of the stamp. In thinking of the strawberries as they are shown, I decided it needed to be sky blue. Balmy Blue was my choice. I inked the stamp with the Balmy Blue and then used the markers to do their thing. Of course I love that it also has an arched top. The inside of the card has sentiments from the awesome Unbounded Love stamp set.

PAPERS

There is no designer paper today. It shocks me every time. I went with the colors from the strawberries. The Real Red makes a bold arch for the stamp. To keep things somewhat simple, even though the arches are a standout, I went with Basic White for the card base.

The cutting of the Real Red arch left a perfect layer for an outline. When I really looked at it, I decided it had to go on the inside of the card. The sentiments are from the Unbounded Love stamp set. Here is the inside open view.

EXTRAS

The Everyday Arches are my star as mentioned several times. I used the 3rd and 5th from largest to cut the images. For the texture touches I add a ribbon of the Shaded Spruce Satin & Sheer Ribbon. It is wrapped around and secured on the back then a separate pieces is tied in a knot on the front. Easy Peasy! And the final touch is the bling. Even though these are not shiny bling, I love them. They are from the Regal Foiled Adhesive Dots. I chose to use both the red and the green for a different look.
