New At SU : Ringed with Love Fun Fold

 

Welcome to our NEW AT SU! Blog hop! We are a group of Stampin! Up! demonstrators from around the world who are Hoppin! with creative paper crafting ideas to share with you. Today, we are featuring Fun/ Fancy Fold Cards.

I chose a very simple fun fold. You start with a regular top fold card, 11 inches by 4 1/4 inches, and score it at 5 1/2 inches and then you cut 1 inch off of each side. 

I used Evening Evergreen for my card base and 2 pieces of Designers Series Paper(DSP) from the Rings of Love DSP. This DSP is a FREE gift with qualifying purchase during Sale-A-Bration so it is while supplies last or August 31, 2022 Whichever comes first

You will need two pieces that are 3/4 inch by 5 1/4 inch for the side panels and 1 piece that is 2 inches by 5-1/4 inches for the middle panel, and 1 Very Vanilla panel that is 2 inches by 5 1/4.

For the front of the card, I ran a piece of Soft Suede Cardstock through the Stamp' Cut and Emboss machine in the Tree Rings Hybrid Embossing folder. I stamped the ringed image on a piece of very Vanilla with Soft Suede Ink and die-cut it. I daubed the edges of both pieces with some Soft Suede ink to give them some depth.  I fussy cut the butterfly and the mushrooms from the DSP

For the sentiments, I used the Charming Sentiments stamp set and the coordinating Silhouette dies. The inside sentiment is stamped in Evening Evergreen. I used another butterfly that I fussy cut from the DSP

New At SU: Simply Sale-a-Bration!

 

Welcome to our NEW AT SU! Blog hop! We are a group of Stampin! Up! demonstrators from around the world who are Hoppin! with creative paper crafting ideas to share with you. Today, we are featuring Sale-A-Bration products and we are #simplestamping using only stamps, ink, and paper and ONE accessory OR tool (not both)... and at least one of those items is a Sale-a-Bration product.

 # Simplestamping is a lot harder than it sounds! When you have a craft room full of tools and accessories that you want to use. It's a lot harder than it sounds. I made 6 different cards using various Sale-A-Bration products before I created one that was simple.

The Sale-A-Bration product that I used is the Wonderful World Stamp Set and Designer Series Paper. Remember Sal-A-Bration products are FREE with a qualifying purchase and they are limited to while supplies last or August 31, 2022, whichever comes first

I stamped the background on a thick Basic White cardstock using Starry Sky Classic Stampin' Ink. I used the Deckled Rectangles dies to cut a piece of Starry Sky cardstock and a smaller piece of Basic White

After I stamped the flower image with Starry Sky ink, I stamped a second image and fussy cut the top of the flower and popped it up with a dimensional. 

For my second card, I used a piece of the Wonderful World DSP. I used the Sending Dies from the Sending Smiles bundles to cut my sentiment and sentiment strip.

Stampin' Up! Daffodil Afternoon

  Quick and Easy Cards

 A good Designer Series Paper(DSP) should help you create quick and easy cards and that's exactly what the Daffodil Afternoon DSP does. I created these cards in about 10 minutes.

I used Flirty Flamingo cardstock for the base of this card and then I added one layer of Basic Black cardstock ( 4 by 5 1/4 ) Next, I added the layer of Daffodil Afternoon DSP ( 3 3/4 by 5) For the sentiment, I die cut a piece of Basic White using the Scalloped Contours dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I thought the black and white looked a little stark so I stamped some speckles in Flirty Flamingo using another stamp from the Friendly Hello set.

For this card, I used the same cardstock base and first layer but instead of one large piece of the Daffodil Afternoon DSP I used 2 small pieces (3 by 4 inches )  The sentiment is from the Color and Contours Stamp Set. I stamped it in Flirty Flamingo. 

The Daffodil Afternoon Designers Series Paper and the Friendly Hello stamp set are Sale-A-Bration exclusives You can get them for FREE with qualifying purchase. But you need to hurry because they are only available until Sale-A-Bration is over (2-28-22) or while supplies last.

Stampin Up! Easter Friends

 Sketch Challenge

This was a challenging challenge! When I saw this sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, I was stumped. What could I put in those circles? I looked through all my newest stamp sets for ones I had not used yet. I went with the Easter Friends because I thought the little chick in different colors would look like a Marshmallow Peeps.

I wanted to use a piece of the Designers Series Paper (DSP) from the Sunshine and Rainbows DSP. I love the way Stampin' Up!'s DSP coordinates so easily with their cardstock. All I have to do is look at the back of the paper pack and it lists the coordinating colors. For this card, I choose, Flirty Flamingo, Mango Melody, and Pool Party.

I used the new Gingham Embossing Folder because it was the closest looking to a basket weave.I used the Scalloped Contours dies to cut the mat from Flirty Flamingo Cardstock.

I had to play around with the Peeps/Chicks a bit to get them to look the way I wanted. I fussy cut the chicks and used dimensionals to pop them up. Underneath the chicks, I stamped a matching chick and used my Stampin' Blends to color each circle blue and then I glued it to another white circle for some contract against the blue card base.

The Sunshine and Rainbows DSP is a Sale-A-Bration exclusive. You can get it for FREE with qualifying purchase. But you need to hurry because it is only available until Sale-A-Bration is over (2-28-22) or while supplies last.
