Simply Elegant Designer Series Paper

Card Challenges, Paper Crafting Ideas, Thank You / September 2, 2021

Today’s card was inspired from a card challenge that I did with my upline and private Facebook community. It is one of the many perks of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. If you would like to join us for these and many other private events, join my team today.

For my card challenge I started with a card base of Cajun Craze and added layer of the Simply Elegant Designer Series paper pack-I just love this paper. I added a strip and scallop circle using the Silver Foil Sheets, another favorite that pairs perfectly with this paper. The cut another circle from Smoky Slate and used the greeting from Simply Succulents. The circles are from the Layering Circle dies.

I love being a part of this Facebook community because sharing is much more fun with friends.

Thank You with Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper

2 Comments / Paper Crafting Ideas, Thank You / July 27, 2021 / Biggest Wish, Hand-Penned

My husband and I took a road trip to Perryopolis, PA and we stayed at an adorable Airbnb in Urbana Ohio. It was Monument Square Suites if you want to look it up. Not only was the suite perfectly cleaned and elegantly decorated, it was walking distance to some local shops and restaurants. The front and back of the home had the most amazing flowers and greenery. I am always grateful to people who have a talent for growing things.

My card today is the extent of my green thumb. We all have different gifts and talents. Mine just lies in paper crafting and not potted soil. LOL The Hand-Penned Bundle and Designer Series paper pair perfectly with water coloring and is the focus of my card today.

An Evening Evergreen Simply Succulent Thanks!

2 Comments / Thank You / July 8, 2021

My daughter came home for a Father’s Day visit and since she is a first grade school teacher, she did not have to rush home so we decide to play in my craft room. Fun right? She created a variety of amazing cards, most of them using retired sets, but she also created this one and I am happy to share it with you.

It is a very simple design, but I love the elegance of the Evening Evergreen and the Very Vanilla cardstock. This background die would also look amazing in some foil sheets and or even some glitter paper. I hope you have fun creating! We certainly did!

To use the adhesive sheet apply it to the Very Vanilla cardstock before cropping the frame. Once you have cut out the frame, remove the adhesive backing and add to the card front.
Stamp greeting in Evening Evergreen ink on some Very Vanilla cardstock and crop it out with frame from the Potted Succulent dies. Attach to card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A Forever Favorite-Forever Fern!

Thank You / July 6, 2021 / Artistically Inked, Forever Fern

I know there are so many new sets to choose from and yet, I just love, love, love the look of our Forever Fern set and dies. For my card today I did not use any of the dies from the bundle, but I did use the brick and mortar embossing folder.

I also did a bit of masking with the berries and the leaves. It was not hard and I love how it turned out. The “Thanks” is from the Artistically Inked set. Stamping directly on an embossed surface can be tricky so I used my paper snips to fussy cut the greeting and attached it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Watercolors and Simply Succulent

2 Comments / Thank You / July 3, 2021

The Simply Succulent bundle pairs beautifully with the watercolor technique. Todays card was created using watercolor pencils, the new in-color inks and the watercolor painters.

I started out stamping the large succulents in black using Stazon ink on some Thick Basic White Cardstock. The Stazon ink works best for the watercoloring while Memento Black works better with alcohol markers. The inks featured in todays sample include Soft Succulent, Pale Papaya, Just Jade, Mint Macaron, Fresh Freesia, Evening Evergreen, Pear Pizzazz and Cinnamon Cider inks.

When I watercolor, I like to use a small acrylic block as a color pallet. I stamp the smallest blocks in the ink pads and pull color from them using the water painters. When using the watercolor pencils I take the water painter directly to pencil tip.
