Stampin’ Up! Thinking of You card

Hi Friends,

This week I’m in Orlando for our 30 year Stampin’ Up! Celebration convention!

One of the FUN things we do is create cards to swap with other Demonstrators ( over 5000 of us!!!)

This is one Swap card I designed.

I used Gray Granite as the base –such a subtle color –I LOVE it!

The next layer is Coastal Cabana embossed with the Layering Leaves Folder.

Then I took a piece of the Silver Foil card stock and layered Frosted Floral DSP on top of that.

Those papers are soooooo beautiful–one side has a muted shimmery appearance to it. GORGEOUS!

The Silver Foil paper makes the designer paper really POP!

SO I swapped these with my house mates  and I’ll show you what I received in return when I’m back in Massachusetts.

I’m SURE I’ll have some gorgeous cards to share with all of you!

Petal Promenade DSP and Fresh Fig Paper!

Hi Friends,

I LOVE the Petal Promenade Designer Series paper.

The colors are soft and romantic and really have such versatility!

Petal Promenade Designer Series and Fresh Fig Card pare make this a simpple yet elegant card. I also used the Foil-Edged rads and Envelopes in SIlver.

See how beautiful that paper is! There are 4 sheets with trimmable elements–just like the one I used.

For a bit of contrast, I used the Galvanized Metallic paper to border the DSP. Then I added the message and layered it using Layering Ovals Framelits . A little Fresh Fig Shear ribbon for a pop of interest.

I did emboss the Fresh Fig card stock using the Layered Leaves Folder.

What do you think?

The base was made with Gray Granite at 8 1/2 x 4 1/4–scored at 4 1/4″.

The next layer is Fresh Fig cut at 5 1/4″ x 4″ and embossed.

Then the DSP was cut at 3″ square and layered onto a piece of the Galvanized Metallic paper (cut 3 1/4″ square), using Snail Adhesive.

That layer was attached using Dimensionals

Then the message was stamped and pushed through the Big Shot using layering Ovals.

I did the same with a piece of Fresh Fig to back the white layer.

Lastly I cut a piece of the Fresh Fig Sheer Ribbon and attached to the back of the oval.

I can NOT say enough about how much I LOVE the Foil-Edged Cards and Envelopes! They come in either gold or silver and add such a degree of elegance, in my humble opinion!

They are so easy to use and certainly lend a air of elegance to any card you make!

Cake Soiree on Layered Leaves

Hi Friends,

This is a BEAUTIFUL stamp set and Bundle – ” Cake Soiree”

The stamps are so festive and elegant and very easy to use.

This card uses a base of Whisper White card stock cut to the usual 8 1/2′ x 5 1/4′ and scored at 4 1/4′.

Then a layer of Berry Burst cut to 5 1/4′ x 4 and adhered to the base

Next I took a piece of Marina Mist , cut to 5 x 3/3/4″ and ran it through the Big Shot using the Layered Leaves Dynamic Embossing Folder.

Next is a piece of white card stock cut to 3 x 4 1/2″.

I stamped the cake image with Black Archival Ink then used Old Olive, Berry Burst, Marina Mist and Daffodil Delight Markers with an Aqua Painter. (I love coloring!!!)… and of COURSE some Wink of Stella!

This layer was attached using Dimensionals.

I used SIlver Foil Paper backed with Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets to cut out the cake pedestal and plate with the corresponding framelits.

It’s very easy using those Adhesive sheets on small ( or not so small) images. No mess at all!

All done!

Floral Statements Hello

Hi Friends,

This card is fun fun fun to make!

I used Floral Statements stamp set along with the Ruffled Dynamic Embossing Folder.

1. The base of this card is Whisper White cut at 8 1/2 x 4 1/4″ and scored at 4 1/4″.

2. Then I took a piece of Rich Razzleberry card stock cut to 5 1/4″ x 4 and ran it through the Big Shot using the Ruffled Folder.

3. I corner rounded the edges of both the Razzleberry and white layers–just for added dimension.

4. Next I stamped the Hello image with Black Archival ink and then the FUN really began!

5. Using Old Olive and  Rich Razzleberry Stampin Blends, I colored the flowers and leaves. Of course I HAD to add a touch of Wink of Stella here and there.

6. To finish off the centers of the flowers I added  a gold Faceted Gem with our Fine Tip glue.

Fruit Stand Jar of Love

Hi Friends,

I love FRUIT and I LOVE this card!

What’s better on a hot summery day than a glass of yummy iced tea or lemonade???

I used the Jar of Love stamp set plus the Everyday Jars Framelits.

And did you notice the straw?  How too darn cute is this??????

You may also notice that the embossing folder is retried as well as the Designer Series paper BUT you can use any paper and newer folders. I just love the design of this and since we ARE approaching nicer weather, I plan on making a lot of these cards!

Here are the instructions”

  1. Base is Whisper White cut at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and scored at 4 1/4″.
  2. Next layer is Calypso Coral cut at 5 1/4 x 4″.
  3. Pick a cute Embossing Folder (Polka Dot Basics would be real cute) and run it through the Bog Shot.
  4. Then adhere that layer with Snail.
  5. Next take a piece of Designer Series Paper ( Whole Lot of Lovely is very similar) and cut to 5 1/4 x 2″. Layer it on as you like –either left orientation or a bit towards the center as I did.
  6. Then stamp a lemon slice form the Lemon Zest stamp set and color it with Crushed Curry Marker. Of course I had to use Wink of Stella for some added shine!
  7. Next I stamped a mason jar with Staz-On ink onto a piece of vellum then used the framelit to cut it out.
  8. I sponged the inside of the vellum with a combo of Crushed Curry and Calypso Coral ink to make it look like sweet pink lemonade!
  9. I took a plastic straw and cut to fit the jar and adhered the whole thing very carefully with Dimensionals.
  10. Added the slice of lemon and a message …and voila!Stampin' Up! fruit stand DSP sharing sweet thoughts jar of love lemonade handstamped card by Barbara Lash of Stamping With BarbaraWhat do YOU think?????
