Before I share today's fun fold sketch, I just wanted to remind you that time is running out to register for the Virtual Catalog Launch Party on June 6. You must register by Friday, May 29, so I have time to get your Make N' Take kit in the mail to you. (Click the photo to the right to register.) It's going to be a great day with lots of demonstrations of new products. You don't want to miss out!

Today's fun fold card is really easy to make as it is basically just a mini card adhered to a flat card back. We had a blast making this card during Mystery Stamping last night. Be sure to join us next Tuesday on my Facebook group to play along!

​On y go! Let's get stamping.

A Bouquet of Beauty

5/25/2020

I absolutely love the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set and am so sad to see it leaving. The saddest part? I never even bought it. It was one of those sets that was always on the top of my wish list, but somehow kept getting bumped off. Luckily, I stamped a bunch of pieces with the set when I visited my sister last fall, and I finally got around to turning them into cards. One of the best thing about this set, is the variety of sentiment stamps it has. Sadly, I didn't stamp any of the sentiments while I was visiting, so I had to use other sets instead.

If this stamp set is on your wish list, be sure to get it before it's gone. All of the stamps and accessories on the Stampin' Up! Retirement List will no longer be available after June 2, and they are currently only available while supplies last. Many things have already sold out!

Speaking of retirement, old stamps leaving means lots of new stuff is coming. If you haven't already, be sure to register for my New Catalog Virtual Launch Party by clicking the link to the right and down a bit. It happens live on Facebook June 6, but if you're registered, you can go back and catch up any time. I have lots of great stuff planned and I am soooo excited to share it all with you!

Ok, enough chit chat. On y go! Let's get stamping.

All of today's cards use the basic color scheme of Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler, Rich Razzleberry, Blackberry Bliss, Old Olive, Pear Pizzaz, Sahara Sand, and Soft Suede. I used different color bases to give the cards a different feel.

This first card has a bouquet of flowers that have been stamped and cut using the coordinating die-cuts. Some flowers are glued flat while others are raised with Stampin' Dimensionals. The bouquet is layered on a piece of vellum cardstock cut with the Stitched Sew Sweetly dies. This is a layered on a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock that has been embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder and then layered on a Cherry Cobbler base.

For my second card, I arranged the stamped and cut flowers on a circle from the Sweetly Swirled stamp set to create a wreath. Again, some flowers are glued flat, while others are raised on Stampin' Dimensionals. I added a greeting using the Well Said stamp set and Well Written dies. The wreath is layered on a piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock that has also been embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder. This is layered on a Blackberry Bliss card base.
Picture
For my third card, I didn't use any dies except to cut out the wrapping that is around the bouquet. The flowers are stamped with Crushed Curry, the centers with Early Espresso, and the leaves with Mint Macaron ink this time. I used an old piece of Crumb Cake 6" x 6" DSP and embossed it with the Subtle 3D embossing folder before adding to the side of my card to create a backdrop. For a little bling, I added some gold metallic pearls.

Similar to the other cards, the bouquet is tied up with a piece of Linen Thread.

For my final card, I stamped the bouquet stem with Early Espresso ink to create a tree trunk. I filled the trees with what, at the time when I stamped them last fall, I thought would be fall leaves. But, when I pulled out the image this spring, I decided it looked more like a tree filled with flowers, even if yellow and orange aren't normal tree flower colors. The flowers are stamped with Crushed Curry and Pumpkin pie ink. 

To create the background, I dabbed Crushed Curry ink onto one side of my Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder. When I embossed the piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock, it left darker lines where the mortar would be and on some of the bricks giving it a distressed look.
Picture
The sentiment for this card comes from the Timeless Tulips stamp set. I added some Daffodil Delight Metallic Bakers Twine that was available during Sale-A-Bration. I absolutely love this twine and I've nearly used up my package of it! Along with that I added some gold metallic pearls and some yellow pearls from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.

Graduation Celebration

5/15/2020

0 Comments

Even though everything looks a little different this year, it's still the time to celebrate graduations! I love the use of rainbows lately to show love and support to people while we're social distancing, so I thought some rainbow graduation cards would be really fun. I made three different cards using the same basic layout, stamps, and colors, but each card uses a different technique. For these cards I used the retiring Check You Out stamp set. This stamp set has only been around for a year and it was one of my absolute favorites from this catalog. I'm so sad to see it go! Because I just couldn't put the set down, check out a 4th, very different graduation card using the same set at the bottom of this post.

While I chose a rainbow for my cards, they could be done in any color combination you like or even in just one color. 

Stamping in Color
This first card has the graduation hats simply stamped in Poppy Parade, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Pacific Point, and Gorgeous Grape in a line across a piece of Whisper White cardstock. I added the simple congratulations greeting under the stamped hats.

The piece of 5 1/4" x 4" Whisper White cardstock is then adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals to a Whisper White card base. Super quick and super easy.

Faux Watercolor
For the second card, I used a faux watercolor technique using a clear block. I used clear block H, a long skinny clear block, and applied the same 6 colors to it in the same rainbow order. The ink covered the whole block. Then I spritzed it with a little water, tilted the block in both directions to let the colors run a little, and stamped it down on my Whisper White cardstock. For this card, I chose to not let the colors go all the way across the card front.

After I added the faux watercolor background and let it dry, I stamped the graduation hats with Jet Black stazon ink. Again, I added the simple congratulations under the rainbow and adhered the whole card front using Stampin' Dimensionals to a Whisper White card base.
Sponge Daubers
For the last card, I started by stamping a line of graduation caps with Jet Black Stazon ink. Then I used sponge daubers to color spots of each of the same 6 colors. I finished the card in the same way as the other two.

Owl Graduate
Finally, the surprise card! This card uses much of the same color scheme, but is completely different and much less simple, although not hard to make. 

Once again, I started with a piece of 5 1/4" x 4" Whisper White cardstock. With a light Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blend I colored a circle in the lower right corner. I added some dark Daffodil Delight to the center. Colored over this with the light Daffodil Delight again but didn't go all the way to the edge of the original Daffodil Delight circle. Then, I went over the whole thing with a color lifter a few times, especially towards the outer edges, to soften the color and help blend it out more into the white.
On scraps of Whisper White cardstock, I stamped the owl with Crumb Cake ink and added a graduation hat and glasses. I also stamped the books. I fussy cut all of these images. For the greeting, I heat embossed it with white embossing powder on Basic Black cardstock. Before I attached all of these pieces with Stampin' Dimensionals, I laid down a little nest of Silver Metallic Thread over the Daffodil Delight circle. Then, I added the stamped images and a few basic rhinestones.
