Hello-You’re a Peach!

Todays card features the You’re A Peach Designer Series paper pack and I am excited to share that it is on sale! So now is the time to stock up on your favorites!

I started my card with a Basic White card base and cut a strip of You’re a Peach Designer Series Paper that measures 2¾  x 12. I used the second largest Stitched so Sweetly dies to cut out the peach side of the paper and the largest to cut out a panel of Calypso Coral.

I trimmed the remaining strip to measure 5½ and flipped it over so the blue side was showing and layered it on the left side of the card front. I then layered the peach rectangles to the card front.

I again used the Stitched So Sweetly dies and cropped the second smallest using Basic White cardstock, stamped the greeting on it in Calypso Coral ink and attached it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Cutting Measurements

All Measurement=inches  CS=Cardstock DSP=Designer Series Paper  Landscape Position=Long side   Portrait Position=short side

Supplies

  • Basic White Cardstock- 5½ x 8½ card base (score at 4¼). 1½ x 2¾
  • You’re A Peach DSP-2¾ x 12
  • Artistically Inked Stamp Set (greeting)
  • Calypso Coral Cardstock-3¼ x 4¼
  • Stitched So Sweetly Dies

True Love is Designer Series Paper

Creating cards with the True Love black and white paper pack is not only easy but quick. This card came together in a matter of minutes. The only part that took a bit of time was the coloring of the flowers. Even that can be quick when using the Stampin’ Blend markers.

I love these alcohol markers because the combo pack of light and dark makes blending a breeze. Check out the variety of colors in the annual catalog on pages 122-123.

Supplies

  • Basic Black Cardstock- 5½ x 8½, 3-1/8 x 5-5/8,1½ x 2½,
  • Basic White Cardstock- 4 x 5¼, 3 ¼ x 4 ¾, 1½ x 2½,
  • True Love Designer Series Paper- flowers (cut with paper snips), 3 x 4½ (dotted), 2 x 5¼  
  • Stampin’ Blend Marker Combo- Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight
  • Paper Snips
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • Stampin’ Seal Adhesive or Liquid Glue

Directions

  • Score Basic Black cardstock in landscape position at 4¼. Fold & burnish.
  • Attach 2 x 5¼ strip of True Love DSP to the left side of card front.
  • Layer the True Love dotted DSP panel to the Basic Black panel and then layer to the 3¼ x 4¾ Basic White panel.  Layer all to the card front as shown above.
  • Stamp greeting in Memento Black ink on white cardstock and crop using the Double Oval Punch.  I used the thank you from Beauty of Friendship, but you have a ton of options, so go crazy.
  • Crop a scallop oval in Basic Black using the Double Oval Punch. 
  • Layer the greeting oval to the black oval and attach to card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Color several flowers and leaves from the True Love DSP and use paper snips to fussy cut and attach to front of card.
  • Add 4 x 5¼ Basic White panel to the inside and decorate as desired.

There are a few different layers to this card, but it really does come together quickly and the pop of color created with the Stampin’ Blend markers is the perfect finish to an elegant card. This would make a great wedding or anniversary card. I hope you are inspired to create something beautiful.

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Wow it is almost the end of February, where did that month go? It was really cold and snowy here is St. Louis this month, so one would think that time would have slowed down a bit, but alas, here we are at the end of another month, but of’ course tired of the cold and ready for spring.

Today along with my card, I thought I would share with you another card from a dear friend, Mary Steinau.

  • Next cut a white cardstock panel that measures 3 1/8 x 4 1/8”.  Layer the Flowered paper to the white panel.
  • Now cut a 3 ¼ x 4 ¼” piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock and attach to the white and flower panel.
  • Stamp Thinking of You from the Happy Thoughts stamp set on a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock and punch out using the Tailored Tag punch.

A Rococo Rose Valentine!

So since tomorrow is Valentine’s Day I thought I would offer one more card for the holiday. Did you know that making this Valentine’s Day card was so much cheaper than buying one at the store? Well, I suppose I could find one at Dollar Tree, but it would not be as fancy and this one is made the love.

I decided to go with non-traditional colors, especially since yesterdays card was filled with red hearts! Today I used the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper, the Tailored Tag punch, the hearts from Kangaroo and Company and of’ course the Heartfelt Bundle.

  • Begin with a Rococo Rose card base that measures 5 ½ x 8 ½”.  In landscape position, (aka along the 8½” side) score at 4 ¼”.  Fold in half to create your card.
  • Cut a 3 ¾ x5” piece of Basic Black cardstock. Use the Tailored Tag punch to punch out some designs from the Peony Garden paper pack and glue them to the black panel leaving even spaces between each design.  TIP: I glued the pieces and some of them hung over the edge of the card panel.  Once you are finished attaching all the pieces, flip the card to the back and trim off excess.  SUGGESTION: I recommend using liquid glue to attach the pieces as it will be more forgiving when trying to create the even borders all around.
  • Attach the black design panel to another piece of Basic Black cardstock that measures 1/8” smaller than the panel.
  • Use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine to cut the small heart die from the Kangaroo and Company dies in Rococo Rose cardstock.  I cut 7 hearts, you may want more, less, or none at all depending on your taste in design.
  • Uses the Heartfelt Bundle to stamp the greeting on a piece of Rococo Rose cardstock in Memento Black ink and punch it out with the smooth heart punch.  Now punch a scalloped heart in black.  Attach the two hearts together and add to the front of your cards.
  • Because I already have a few layers going and I am going to mail this card out, I did not use Stampin’ Dimensionals, but they would look good as well, especially if you are hand-delivering your creation.

For the inside, cut a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of White cardstock and attach to the inside panel.  Stamp the greeting from the Heartfelt Bundle in Rococo Rose ink.  Next stamp the dotted heart in Memento Black around the rose heart.

Heartfelt Anniversary!

This is a clean and simple card using the New True Love Designer Series paper in the JJ2021 Spring mini and the Heartfelt Bundle in the annual catalog. I absolutely love this paper just the way it is, but I also love how it can be colored to create a totally different look. Stay tuned for future blog posts on that one!

Celebrating love and accomplishments can be so much fun. While this is actually an anniversary card for a young couple, it could also be used to celebrate milestones, like the number of years at a job or the number of years as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator!

You too can sign up to be a demonstrator and before you know it, you would be celebrating a one year anniversary of fun and fantastic card making!

Right now, Stampin’ UP! is offering a extra special gift of five 6×6 paper packs for all who sign up before the end of February. Just $99 and you can create your own kit of $125 worth of stamping toy, plus you would also get the free business supply kit. If that sounds fun to you, just CLICK HERE and get the details. I would love to have you on my team!

And now for that Anniversary card!

  • Begin with a Basic Black card base 5 ½ x 8 ½. Score in landscape position at 4 ¼”.
  • To the left side of the card front add a 2 x 5 ¼” piece of the True Love Designer Series Paper.
  • Cut black and white cardstock layers and attach as follows: 2½ x 3½” white, 2¼ x 3¼” black, 2 1/8 x 3 1/8” white. 
  • Stamp Happy Anniversary from Many Mates in Memento Black ink.
  • Use the Heart punches from the bundle to punch a red scallop heart and a white smooth heart and layer them together. Attach the hearts to the black and white layers with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals and attach to the card front.
  • Finish off the card with a little bling by adding a few Red Rhinestone gems.

I hope you will stop by again for more crafting fun and some colorful cards with this New True Love Designer Series paper.

Ho Ho Ho Perfectly Plaid

Today’s card feature the Perfectly Plaid set in the annual catalog. It is on page 60. It will not be retiring until May so there is still time for this one, not sure if there is any Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper available, but I have loved playing with this designer series pack this season.

  • Begin with a Pretty Peacock card base 5 ½ x 8 ½”. Score in landscape position at 4 ¼”.
  • Layer a piece of 1 ¼ x 5 ½” piece of Plaid Tiding Designer Series paper to the left side of the card. I cut mine at an angle on both end.  
  • Using the Stitched Rectangle Dies cut a large rectangle from Whisper White Cardstock and adhere to the card base, covering some of the plaid paper.
  • From the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper, punch three trees with the Pine Tree Punch on page 166 in the annual catalog. Layer the trees on the Whisper White rectangle.
  • Using Pretty Peacock ink, stamp Merry Christmas from the Perfectly Plaid set above the tress and the Ho Ho Ho stamp at a slight angle above Merry Christmas.   TIP:  If you cannot purchase the plaid paper, use the plaid tree stamp to create your own plaid design.
  • Layer a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Whisper White cardstock to the inside of the card.
  • Stamp the inside sentiment from the Perfectly Plaid set in Pretty Peacock ink. 
  • Again using Pretty Peacock ink, stamp the plaid tree to the bottom right under the sentiment.  I stamped the tree trunk in Early Espresso.

This is such a fun Christmas set with so many possibilities. If you would like to add this to your crafty collection, please use the current host code: URBMWZNY.

Christmas Begins with Christ!

I hope you all are gathering your stamping supplies to create beautiful Christmas Cards to send out to your friends and loved ones. This year with all that has gone on in our world, it is nice to bring a little holiday joy by creating hand-stamped cards. My card today is again using the Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper, but instead of the photo side, I opted to use the beautiful silver patterned side to create this elegantly layered card. I absolutely love the way it turned out! I began with a Whisper White card base and added a 4 x 5 1/4″ layer of smoky slate. To that added a Whisper White layer that I embossed with the new Winter Snow Embossing Folder. I cut a 3 x 5 piece of the Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper and added it to some smoky slate measuring 3 1/4 x 4 1/4.

The sentiment from For Unto Us is stamped in Smoky Slate ink on Whisper White and cut using the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine with the Stitched Circle Dies and popped with the Stampin’ Dimensionals. Around the layer of Smoky Slate and Feels Like Frost Designer Series layer I tied some Silver Metallic Edge ribbon.

This was a fun card to create and while it took a little more than two minutes to create, I feel the extra time and labor was worth it! Thanks for stopping by today! Feel free to leave a comment. I hope you will join me again tomorrow for another fabulous card surprise! Stamping Hugs and Blessings, Renae.
