Fun with Ribbon Stamping

/ , , , , / Leave a Comment

Have you ever tried stamping on ribbon? It’s an easy and fun way to personalize ribbon for gift boxes, cards, bags etc. I stamped on both the Natural finish Ribbon and the Balmy Blue & White Variegated Ribbon for my gift boxes.

To create the box bottom, I cut a piece of Night of Navy cardstock at 7″ x 7″, score on all four sides at 1-1/4″. Cut slits for the tabs. I added a few small pieces of Tear & Tape on each tab, then folded them to create the corners.

For the box top, I used a piece of By the Bay 6″ x6″ DSP, scored on all four sides at 3/4″. Again I cut the slits for the tabs. I added a few small pieces of Tear & Tape on each tab, then folded them to create the corners.

Next, I stamped hearts with the Country Bouquet Stamp set in Night of Navy directly on the Balmy Blue & White Variegated Ribbon. To keep the ink from smearing, leave the ribbon to try, I let this ribbon sit for about a half hour. You’ll want to wait longer for a heavier ribbon like the Natural Finish Ribbon that I used on a second box. Once dry I tied the ribbon on the box.

The tag is made with Tailor Made Tags Dies. I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy then, die cut the bird from the By the Bay DSP with the Seaside Bay Dies and adhered to the tag. To finish the tag I added a few Flat Pearls and tied it to the bow with White Bakers Twine.

I created this second box with the Country Bouquet Collection Suite.

Gift Box Measurements

  • Box Base: 7″ x 7″, score on all 4 sides at 1-1/4″
  • Box Top: 6″ x 6″, score on all 4 sides at 3/4″

Luv 2 Stamp Group Blog Hop Lucky Clover Treats

/ , , , , , , / 12 Comments

Welcome to the Luv 2 Stamp Group’s 2023 Blog Hop! We are excited to share projects with you again for the third year. This year we are shaking things up and bringing you all new monthly themes to inspire your next project!

Once you are done with each post, scroll down to the bottom and you will see a list of Blog Hop participants, you can click on their name to go to their post, or you can click the next button to go to the next post in line. Happy crafting!

Our first Blog Hop Theme of 2023 is Sweet Treats!

My festive St. Patrick’s Day Treats were inspired by the Jan-June 2023 Mini Catalog. Page 8 of the mini catalog I noticed these cute treats created with the Country Floral Lane Suite. These cute treats can be recreated for any occasion and they are quick to make.

I have been waiting for a St. Patrick’s Day stamp set, the Luck Clover Bundle first bundle I put on my mini catalog shopping list. It was perfect for creating these treat holders for St. Patrick’s Day or to just wish someone good luck!

To create the wrappers I started with a piece of Granny Apple Green Cardstock cut to 5-1/2″ x 6-3/4″. On the long side score the cardstock at 2″, 2-1/4″, 4-1/2″, 4-3/4″. Then I stamped the clovers in Granny Apple Green along the top and bottom edges. I used Tear & Tape to adhere the wrapper closed. The Dandy Designs DSP layer of the wrapper is cut to 4-1/2″ x 6-3/4″, for this layer of the wrapper I didn’t make any score lines, I just wrapped it around the cardstock layer and adhered again with Tear & Tape.

To decorate the font of the wrappers I used Basic White Cardstock and die cut the scalloped circle with the All That Dies and stamped clovers on them in Granny Apple Green. I stamped each of the sentiments in Granny Apple Green and snipped them out with my paper snips. I adhered them with Mini Glue Dots.

I stamped the large clovers in Granny Apple Green using the Stamparatus. I prefer to stamp with Stamparatus on larger solid images works better for me than using a clear block, this way I can re-ink and stamp the image if it’s not clear. I punched them out with the Lucky Clover Punch and added them to the wrapper with Mini Glue Dots.

I can’t resist adding a little bling to my projects and for these fun treats I added a few Iridescent Pastel Gems. Before slipping in the chocolate bar I wrapped a piece of the Burlap Ribbon from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo pack around the bar. Then tied them at the top with a piece of White Crinkle Seam binding colored with Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends.

    Colorful Merry with the Alphabest Bundle

    / , , , / Leave a Comment

    How cute is this brightly colored card? It was very quick and easy to make, and if you’ve been following me for any length of time you know I love a quick and simple card and bling. This card is no exception. The Celebrate Everything DSP has patterns for any occasion and this one is my favorite with all the bright colors! The Granny Apple Green card base is a perfect to match.

    To create the label, I used the Deckled Rectangle Dies to die cut Sweet Sorbet and Basic White cardstock and adhered them together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The Alphabest Bundle was the perfect choice to add merry in the same bright colors in the Celebrate Everything DSP. I punched them out with the Best Label punch and adhered them to the Basic White rectangle with Stampin’ Dimensionals. These layers were adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

    Inside I added a small piece of the Celebrate everything DSP the Basic White cardstock. As the final touch, I colored a few Opal Rounds with the Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends and added them to the front of the card.

    Alphabest Merry Card Measurements:

    • Granny Apple Green Card Base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score in half at 4-1/4″
    • Celebrate Everything DSP Layer: 3-7/8″ x 5-1/2″
    • Basic White Cardstock Inside Card: 4″ x 5-1/4″
    • Celebrate Everything Inside Card: 1/2″ x 4″

    Demonstrator Training Blog Hop-Fitting Florets

    / , , , , / 15 Comments

    Welcome to our Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop!

    We are so happy that you could join us today for this blog hop of ideas and creative inspiration we have to share with you. We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from around the world that are taking part in training that is helping us to build a successful Stampin’ Up!® business and reach some goals we have set. We really appreciate your support!

    Today we are featuring the new Fitting Florets Suite!! As part of this beautiful suite, the Framed Florets bundle is an early release from the coming soon Jan-June 2023 Mini Catalog. Stampin’ Up! has also released several exclusive products in this suite that are available while supplies last, Gold Adhesive Backed Swirls, Fitting Florets DSP and just in time for Christmas the Framed & Festive Stamp set! Click here to shop the Fitting Florets Suite.

    I chose to do a Book Binding Fun Fold for my card. It’s an easy way to add a fun fold element to a standard size card.

    To create this card, start with a 4-1/4″ x 11″ piece of Basic White Thick cardstock. Score the cardstock, on the 11″ side, at 4-1/2″ and 5-1/2″ inches. This will create a 1 inch “book binding” section on the card. Fold the card in half on the 5-1/2″ score line.

    Inside the card add a bit of glue between the two score lines to adhere this section of the card close. Once the book binding section is secure, the card front will open at the point of the second score line.

    Next, I cut 2 pieces of Fitting Florets DSP, 3/4″ x 4″ and 4″ x 4-1/4″and adhered them to the front of the card.

    To create the label, I heat embossed the sentiment from the Framed & Festive Stamp set with Silver Embossing Powder on basic White Thick cardstock, and die cut it with the second largest frame from the Framed Florets Dies. Then die cut the largest frame with Vellum. Using Stampin’ Dimensionals I adhered the Basic White oval to the Vellum oval, then added adhered them to the card with Mini Glue Dots. I die cut a few leaves from the Framed Florets Dies with Vellum and adhered them with Mini Glue Dots under the edges of the Vellum Oval.

    To complete this pretty card, Tie a bow on the book binding with some Glittered Organdy Ribbon. I also wanted to add a pop of color so I also added a few Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

    Inspirations In Ink Blog Hop-Season of Chic

    / , , , , / 8 Comments

    Welcome to the Inspirations In Ink Blog Hop! Thank you so much for hopping along with us! This month we are featuring Stampin’ Up!’s Season of Chic Bundle. Once you are done with each post, scroll down to the Blog Hop List participants, you can click on their name to go to their post. We hope you find some inspiration and enjoy all of our Season of Chic Bundle Projects!

    The the Textured Chic Suite has so many beautiful products in the suite. The Season of Chic Stamp Set has images for all seasons and the Chic Dies to cut them out, the gold foil in the Textured Chic Designer Series Paper and Distressed Gold Specialty paper. And don’t miss the matching Textured Chic Memories and More Cards, and the Textured Chic Memories and More Cards & Envelopes. So many possibilities!

    Let me show you how I created this pretty card. I started with a Textured Chic card base and created a Z-fold by scoring the front panel of the card base at 2-1/2″and folding it back.

    I cut 2 strips of Textured Chic DSP and adhered them to each of the inside sections of the folded panel. Then I adhered another piece of Textured Chic DSP on the inside on the right. With so many beautiful patterns in this DSP pack, I chose to use 3 different patterns.

    Next, I stamped the sentiment in Evening Evergreen on Basic White cardstock and die cut it with a square from the Stylish Shapes dies. Then adhered it to with Stampin’ Dimensionals to one of the Textured Chic Memories and More cards.

    I die cut a few leaves with the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper that I thought would go well with the leaf images in the Memories and More Card, and adhered them to the corners of the square. I adhered the Memories and More card to the folded front panel. Remember when adding this to your card to put adhesive on just one side of the card back so your card will open properly.

    On the inside of the card I wanted the Basic White pane to show just a bit like a frame for Memories and More card on the font. To do this I cut the a piece of Basic White cardstock to 3-1/2″ x4-1/2″, which is just a bit bigger than the Memories and More Card and adhered to the inside of the card. It worked out perfectly, then I added a few of the leaves I cut earlier. Finally, I added a few Champaign Rhinestone Basic Jewels to bring out the gold foil of the Designer Series Paper.

    Cheerful Basket – Inspirations In Ink Blog Hop

    / , , , , / 6 Comments

    Welcome to the Inspirations In Ink Blog Hop! Thank you so much for hopping along with us! This month we are featuring Stampin’ Up!’s Cheerful Basket Bundle. Once you are done with each post, scroll down to the Blog Hop List participants, you can click on their name to go to their post. We hope you find some inspiration and enjoy all our Cheerful Basket Bundle Projects!

    The cooler temperatures and changing colors of the leaves here in Maryland were the inspiration for my card. A basket full of colorful leaves in the Autumn seemed the perfect way to showcase the Cheerful Basket Bundle.

    To create my card I started with the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks and a Blending Brush. I brushed Cherry Cobbler Ink on a piece of Basic White Cardstock to create a patterned layer, which I then adhered to a Cherry Cobbler card base. I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to die cut the 2nd largest rectangle from Cherry Cobbler cardstock and adhered it to my cardbase.

    The leaves are die cut from the Full Basket dies. I love how these dies make the impression on the leaves. I die cut the in Cherry Cobbler, Real Red, Poppy Parade, Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Mossy Meadow and Crumb Cake cardstock.

    I added them to a piece of Basic White Cardstock, cut to 2-1/2″” x 3-3/4″, with glue dots one at a time. Once I had the leaves added, I stamped the basket on some Crumb Cake cardstock in Crumb Cake Ink and die cut it and added it just below the leaves. Then I adhered this layer to my card.

    I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greeting stamp set in Cherry Cobbler. Punching it out with the Double Oval Punch and adding it to the card. I also added a few leaves at the base of the basket. Wink of Stella brushed on the leaves added the final touch. For the inside of my card, I added a few leaves brushed with a Wink of Stella as well.
