Welcoming Window and Hand-Penned Paper

Paper Crafting Ideas / May 12, 2021

I hope you are enjoying the new catalog as much as I am. I just can’t seem to get enough of the Hand-Penned designer series paper pack. All the colors blend so nicely and I love the soft look of the florals. Pair it with the Welcoming Window set and it’s a hit. The pitcher is stinkin’ cute!

Directions

Score Garden Green cardstock in landscape position at 4¼. Fold and burnish to create card base.
Layer Mint Macaron panel to card front.
Layer Hand-Penned DSP to the Cinnamon Cider panel and attach to the Mint Macaron front.
Stamp the greeting in Cinnamon Cider ink on the white cardstock and use the Double Oval punch to crop a smooth oval and punch a scalloped oval from Garden Green cardstock.
Stamp the pitcher from Welcoming Window in Gray Granite and use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine with coordinating bundle to crop pitcher. Attach the oval greeting to the lower right corner of the DSP panel and add the pitcher using Stampin’ Dimensionals

I am always amazed at how easy it is to create beautiful cards with Stampin’ Up!’s designer series paper packs. I love the way everything coordinates to create a professional looking card every time. Once I gathered all my supplies, this card took less than 10 minutes to create. Add this paper pack to your crafting supplies and have fun creating!

Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards, Paper Crafting Ideas / April 17, 2021

I am excited to share with you another card that I made with some Forever Greenery designer series paper scraps. This card features the Rooted in Nature set and the greeting is from Framed For You. Both of these sets will retire at the end of this month.

Don’t forget if you live in the St. Louis area, I would love for you to join us for our monthly stamp camps. CLICK HERE for upcoming dates.

Begin with a 5½ x 8½” piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock. In landscape position, (aka the long side), score at 4 ¼”. Fold and burnish. This will create a card base.
Cut a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock and layer it to the card front.
Cut a 2 ¾ x 2 ¾” square of Forever Greenery designer series paper and cut it in half on the diagonal. Layer one of the halves to the lower left corner of the Pear Pizzazz panel.
Cut a 3 x 4” piece of Basic White cardstock and stamp the top of the large tree from Rooted in Nature in Shaded Spruce ink and the trunk in Soft Suede.
Stamp the greeting from Framed For You in Soft Suede in the upper left corner of the white panel and attach to a 3-1/8 x 4-1/8 piece of Soft Suede cardstock.
Attach tree layer to the card front.
