Exciting Times Bundle

 Hi everyone,

A quick & easy card using the Exciting Times Bundle (#167881), consisting of the Exciting Times stamp set (#167875) and the Rounded Rectangle Punch (#167880).

I used the Berry Botanical Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167985), which is now retired. However you could use any designer paper. I attached this with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to Basic White card (#166781). These pieces were then attached to the Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) then attached to the Basic White base card.

The outside frame and sentiment from the Exciting Times stamp set, were stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) and the radiating lines around the sentiment were stamped with Highland Heather ink (#147103). I used the Rounded Rectangular punch to cut the sentiment and the inside of the frame. The sentiment was taped to the card and the frame was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

This month Stampin’ Up! have specials on many of the Designer Papers, so make sure you check them out.

 Hi friends,

Beautiful designer paper can make quick & easy cards, like this design from the Velvet Meadow Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167904). This paper has velvet texture on each floral design.

The DSP was matted with Berry Burst card (#144249). 

The sentiment from the All Aflutter stamp set (#167564) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) onto Berry Burst card. I added White powder from the Basics Wow!

The white twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack (#155475) was threaded through the sentiment and wrapped around the card front. This was then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I added some small butterflies from the Gilded Wings Accents (#169953) which will be available in July from the online exclusives. The Antique Pearls (#164679) were added to the card & butterflies.

Beautiful Blues Kit

 Hello friends,

Kits are fantastic for quick & easy cards like this one from the Beautiful Blues Kit (#165658). There are a large variety of kits available from Stampin’ Up! which are perfect for new crafters, busy crafters or those who just want a quick & easy card.

The card kits usually have all the supplies for 9 cards with 3 of each of 3 designs and also includes the card base, stamp set, ink spot, envelopes, pre-cut pieces, adhesives, embellishments and instructions. You can make the kits as per the instructions or change it up for your own design which is what I have done on this card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Greenery Lane stamp set and (#166870) with Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138). This was then cut with one of the Phrases & Frames die (#167586). This is an Impressions die, so I then used the Impressions Plate (#167767) which gives a deeper embossed image to the frame. I daubered the edges of the sentiment with Blueberry Bushel ink. The sentiment & frame were attached to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The pre-cut floral piece was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The embellishments are from the retired Tinsel Gems. I added some glimmer to the flowers with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897).

Lights Of Aurora Designer Series Paper

 Hello again friends,

A super easy card today as I wanted to highlight the beautiful Lights Of Aurora 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#165755).

I matted the designer paper with Silver Foil Sheet (#163387). If you are wanting to save your paper especially the specialty papers, remove the middle for another project, as you are only needing a small border to matt the DSP.

I did this, then adhered Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to the back of the Silver Foil which I removed from the centre and cut the letters using the Alphabet A La Mode dies (#160750). These were attached to the card front.

“Birthday” is from the Blooming Phrases stamp set (#165523) and I stamped this with Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138). I fussy cut this and attached it to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The card front was attached to the Blueberry Bushel base card (#146991).

Gallery Blooms dies

 Hello,

A quick & easy card using a couple of dies, designer series paper and a sentiment.

I cut the Splendid Autumn 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#164173) with the frame die from the Gallery Blooms dies (#165212). This die cuts the 3 pieces in one cut. I did cut a slither off the outside of the 2 middle pieces so that when I attached them to the card I could see a small amount of the Blackberry Bliss card (#133682) which I attached them to. I taped the outside & inside pieces to the card and used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the middle piece.

The card front was attached to Very Vanilla base card (#166785).

“Best Wishes” is from the Sunrise Sailing stamp set (#165491) and I stamped this with Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092). I then cut it with a Mixed Labels die (#164652). This was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The Flower Accents (#165171) were added to the sentiment.

This folder is large - 15.2cm x 21.6cm (6”x8-1/2”) and has bold textured sunflower designs. After embossing the Daffodil Delight card (#121680) I added some colour with Sponge Daubers (#133773), using Crushed Curry ink (#147087) on the petals, Lemon Lime Twist ink (#147145) on the leaves and Pecan Pie ink (#161665) on the flower centres.

Fully Flowering Ephemera Pack

 Hello again, 

Another quick & easy cards today using 2 Ephemera Packs.

The flower is from the Fully Flowering Ephemera Pack (#163762). I coloured this with Clear Wink Of Stella 141897). I mentioned a few weeks ago ago that I used 2 almost empty Wink Of Stellas and added some Isocol to them, then added a drop of Granny Apple Green Ink refill (#147163) to one and Daffodil Delight Ink Refill (#119672) to the other. So I used these to add very subtle colour to the flower & leaves and this applies the glimmer at the same time.

“Congratulations” is from the Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack (#164862).

The Crushed Curry card (#131288) was dry embossed with the Birch Wood Embossing Folder (#164069) before matting with Basic Black card (#121688). This was then attached to the Basic White Base card (#166781).

The sentiment and flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).
