Hand Penned Memories & More

The Hand Penned Memories & More Card Pack, and the Hand Penned Memories & More Cards & Envelopes make creating cards for any occasion quick and easy. If you need a simple and pretty card, these products are perfect!

I decided to use just a few elements of this card that I selected form the Hand Penned Memories & More Card Pack and do as little stamping as possible. I fussy cut sentiment and used the Layering Circle Dies to cut the circle. To add in a bit of color I cut a Fresh Freesia scalloped circle from the 2021-2023 Designer Series Paper Assortment.

Next, I used the Tailor Made Tags to cut out the tag from Pale Papaya Cardstock. I stamped the flowers on the tag from the Hand Penned Petals stamps in Pale Papaya for tone on tone look. To put my card together I layered the scalloped circle on the Memories & More Card base, then the tag and the smaller circle with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added the sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The bow on the tag was tied with Basic White Bakers Twine. Finally, I added the 2021-2023 In Color Jewels for the center of a few of the flowers. I really like the layers on this card and how easy it was to make, so I created a second card using the What A Year Memories & More Card Pack.

What A Year Card

For this second card I wanted to use Polished Pink (pink is my favorite color). I started with a piece of the Polished Pink 2021-2023 In Color Designer Series paper on a piece of Basic White Cardstock for the card base. I used a card from the What A Year Memories & More Card Pack to die cut the tag using the Tailor Made Tags and fussy cut the Polished Pink Flower. Using the Layering Circles Dies I cut a Basic Gray circle.

The sentiment is the stamped element on this card. I stamped the Many Messages Stamp on Basic White cardstock in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Then I die cut the labels with the Messages Die. These Many Messages stamp and Messages dies are great, now I’ve got lots of stamped labels ready to go. To finish this card I added a piece of Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon tied with Basic White Bakers Twine and of course a few 2021 – 2023 In Color Jewels.

What A Year Card Measurements:

  • Basic White Card Base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, fold in half
  • In Color DSP Assortment: 4″ x 5-1/2″

Eden’s Garden – Dear Friend

This pretty card was created with the Eden’s Garden Collection. I love the shades of green and the gold foil accents in the Ever Eden Designer Series Paper. It coordinates perfectly with the Soft Succulent & Evening Evergreen sheets of the 2021-2023 In Color Shimmer Vellum, and the Soft Succulent & Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbons. That’s one of the things I love about Stampin’ Up! products, the perfect color coordination across all their products. Color coordination makes me happy!

Creating the Card

To create the layers of my card I started with a piece Evening Evergreen cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a piece of the Ever Eden DSP to 3-1/2″ x 5-1/2, and 2 strips of Gold Foil Specialty Paper to 1/2″ x 5-1/2″. I adhered the DSP to the Gold Foil on the long edges and attached the DSP to the cardbase. You can see, in the image above,I cut the Gold Foil a touch longer than 5-1/2″. Not to worry, I just snipped the ends off with my Paper Snips.

The label was die cut with the Tailor Made Tags on Basic White cardstock. Using the Eden’s Garden Stamp set, I stamped the leaves in Soft Succulent around the edges of the tag. Next, I stamped the sentiment in Evening Evergreen. I die cut a few of the leaf stems from the Eden Dies in Vellum and the Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen Shimmer Vellum. I attached them to the bottom of the label using a few glue dots. I tied a piece of the Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon before attaching the label to my card with some Stampin’ Dimensionals.

To finish my card I added a few of the Garden Gems. I’m sure by now you know I can’t resist adding a bit of bling whenever I can. I love the look of this card. I hope you do as well, leave a comment below and let me know what you think of my card.

Gorgeous Leaves

I have a bad habit of waiting until the last moment to make cards for special occasions. My husbands birthday earlier this month is a perfect example. I made this card the evening before his birthday, so I wanted to create a card quickly and without a lot of fuss. The Gorgeous Leaves stamp set was the perfect choice. The stamps are great on their own if you don’t want to use the Intricate Leaves Dies.

Once I decided on which stamp set to use it was time to decide on the colors to use. I love the colors of the leaves as they change in the fall. The tree right outside my window has a variation of red, orange and yellow leaves, so that was my inspiration for the color choice.

To start, I used the stamp with the splotches from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Crumb Cake. Next, I stamped the leaves on top of the splotches. I started with the leaf in the center in Merry Merlot, then added the leaf in Pumpkin Pie and Bumblebee.

The Happy Birthday sentiment is from Peaceful Moments stamp set, I love the fonts in this set. Using the Message die, I die cut a set of blank labels with the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine on Very Vanilla cardstock, so that I have multiple blank labels to use later. I picked a label that would fit the sentiment and stamped it in Merry Merlot. Putting the card together i used Stampin’ Dimensionals for all the layers.

Edens Garden

The Eden’s Garden Suite is one of my favorite Suites. I love the colors of the Ever Eden Designer Series Paper as well as the sentiments and images in the Eden’s Garden Cling Stamp set. And of course, I can’t forget the Garden Gems. If the specialty papers and gems in this suite are on your wishlist, they are only available while supplies last, don’t wait to order them, as they will not be in the January – July 2022 Mini Catalog.

Putting it all together

Using several pieces of Washi Tape to hold the die in place, I die cut the edge of my note card with the Eden Die to make this pretty edge. I added a piece of the In Color Shimmer Vellum on the inside of the card. It’s such a pretty effect against the die cut edge. Then added a piece of the Ever Eden DSP.

The sentiment was stamped on a piece of the In Color Shimmer Vellum with Staz On Ink, then die cut with the label from the Eden Dies. I adhered it to a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, and using Stampin’ Dimensionals attached it to to the card. Finally, I added a few of the Garden Gems to give it a bit of bling.
