Happiness Abounds – Luv 2 Stamp Group Blog Hop

April 24, 2022 / 8 Comments

Welcome to the Luv 2 Stamp Group’s 2022 Blog Hop! We are excited to share projects with you again this year. We hope to inspire you to create beautiful new projects. Each month we will have a different theme based on the next month’s celebrations using Stampin’ Up! products.

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! This month’s theme is Teacher Appreciation.

To celebrate all the wonderful Teachers who inspired us to learn, I wanted to make a fun fold card using the vibrant new 2022-2024 In Colors.

I’ve been using some new products coming on May 3 in the new Annual Catalog and wanted to incorporate those into my card as well. To start, I chose Orchid Oasis cardstock for the card base, cut to 4-1/4″x 11″, scored at 2-3/4″ & 8-1/4″.

I embossed 2 panels of Orchid Oasis cardstock with the Thanks Embossing Folder from the Thanks & Hello Embossing Folders. Each one was adhered to the card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To create the rainbow, I used new 2022-2024 6×6 DSP Assortment and the Brilliant Rainbow Dies. I stamped the sentiment in Orchid Oasis with a stamp from the new Happiness Abounds Stamp set. I love this sentiments and mixed fonts in this set, and I will be using it a lot!

Before adding the sentiment to my card, I cut the same DSP used to create the rainbow, to create the layers under the sentiment. To adhere the sentiment layers to the front of my card, I used the Multipurpose Liquid Glue and carefully added it to top edge of the sentiment layer, then adding ti to the top flap so that the card would still open. You can see the picture on the right below when the card is open you can see the back of Sentiment layer. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels for a bit of sparkle.

On the inside Basic White Cardstock layer, I adhered a strip of Orchid Oasis DSP. Using the Rainbow of Happiness Bundle created the inside sentiment. I colored the smaller rainbow with Stampin Blends, using the Light Sweet Sorbet, Light Parakeet Party, Light Tahitian Tide and Light Orchid Oasis.

You’re Absolutely Amazing

April 5, 2022 / Leave a Comment

I had fun creating with the Color and Contour Bundle and a few of the 2021-2023 In Colors. The note cards and envelopes seemed the perfect choice for these cards.

To create my cards, I randomly stamped the flower image around the outside the card base. Then I used the shaded image of the flower to add color to the flowers. Stamping off the shaded image on my grid paper then on the flower allowed me to get different shades of the color on the flowers.

I die cut a piece of coordinating 2021-2023 In Color DSP Assortment with the Scalloped Contours Dies. I adhered the DSP with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I die cut several labels with the Tasteful Labels dies. I stamped the sentiments with the Color and Contour & the Enjoy The Moment stamp sets. Then added the labels to the Scalloped Doilies with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I also put a few glue does on the back of the doilies, to make sure they would stick when I added them to the cards.

I stamped and die cut a flower for each of my cards, and adhered them with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the labels. Finally, you guessed it, I added a few of the2021-2023 In Color Jewels to the center of each flower for a perfect touch of bling.

I hope you enjoy these cute note cards and are inspired to create a few. All the Stampin’ Up! supplies used to make my card are available in my online store. Simply click any of the product photos below!

Fun with Lighthearted Lines

March 22, 2022 / Leave a Comment

I’ve had the Lighthearted Lines stamp set sitting on my stamp shelf for almost a year. it was high time I made some cards with this fun stamp set. The Sweet Symmetry DSP with its bright pretty colors is the perfect fun choice to go with the sentiments in the Lighthearted Lines stamp set.

Using the Basic Border Dies, I die cut multiple pieces of the Dsp. Selecting the patterns to mix and match was lots of fun. Once I had them adhered together I trimmed them down to fit the card bases.

To make this sentiment just a bit more fun, I wanted to easily stamp “Forever” inside on this card. I snipped apart the bottom half of this sentiment, now I can easily use a few of the words individually. I stamped the sentiment in Flirty Flamingo on Basic White. I die cut the sentiment for the front of my card using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and adhered it to a Night of Navy label. Foam adhesive sheets are fast becoming my new favorite adhesive to give my cards dimension. I love that I can quickly cut them to fit and give just a bit more stability.

I used a number of dies to create all the different labels for my cards. The finishing touch on these bright color cards are the Brushed Brass Butterflies. I had a lot of fun putting these cards together.

You’re Stuck With Me Card Measurements

Bumblebee Cardstock Base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score in half at 4-1/4″
Sweet Symmetry DSP: 6′ x6′, then trimmed to fit card front

Special Moments – Last Day of Sale-A-Bration

February 28, 2022 / Leave a Comment

Sale-A-Bration is coming to an end, today is the last day. Don’t miss out on on the free gifts from Stampin’ Up! with a purchase.

My slim line cards today are inspired by Patty Bennett. She shared a cute ladybug card with this same layout, which is perfect to showcase Designer Series Paper. I wanted to share one last card for Sale-A-bration with the Simply Marbleous DSP and Special Moments Stamp set, both available during Sale-A-Bration.

When I am making several cards at one time, I like to prep all my elements first and put them together in an assembly line fashion. I cut the card stock and Simply Marbleous DSP, then adhered the DSP and Basic White cardstock with Multipurpose Glue to the larger card stock layers.

The daisies were punched in Basic White and matching color card stock. Using a bone folder I gently curled the white petals up, and the color petals down. I love the different direction of the petals and it made lining up the flowers easy when I adhered them together with Mini Glue Dots.

Next, I colored some White Glittered Organdy Ribbon with Stampin’ Write Markers to match the DSP for each card. Then created knots for each card. I adhered a strip of the ribbon to the card then using a smaller piece of ribbon tied a knot.

I adhered the daisies with Stampin’ Dimensionals and added a few of my favorite embellishments, Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels. They are the perfect bling to add to any project.

I’d love to be your Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator. All the Stampin’ Up! supplies used to make my card are available in my online store. Simply click any of the product photos below!

Many Happenings – Luv 2 Stamp Group Blog Hop

February 27, 2022 / 9 Comments

Welcome to the Luv 2 Stamp Group’s 2022 Blog Hop! We are excited to share projects with you. We hope to inspire you to create beautiful new projects. Each month we will have a different theme based on the next month’s celebrations using Stampin’ Up! products.

I’ve been creating with Kits from the Kits Collection this week. I love the Kerchief Card Kit with its pretty floral images and the Coastal Cabana & Poppy Parade colors. The gold foil elements in the kit give these cards an elegant touch so I thought this would be the perfect kit to Celebrate Women.

Many Happenings and Many Messages along with the Message die were the perfect choice to create sentiments to fit this months theme. There are so many greetings for so many occasions and die cuts them all out at once, it’s easy to always have lots of sentiments on hand.

The Stamparatus is the perfect tool to use when stamping with a large stamp. This made it easier to make sure that all the sentiments stamped clearly.

I stamped and die cut each stamp in both Night of Navy and Poppy Parade. I love how many sentiments I now have that are ready to be used.

Putting it All Together

I punched out all the die cuts included in the kit. I love the colors and gold foil accents in this pretty kit.

When using the Vellum layer in the kit, remember to use adhesive on the vellum where it will be covered with the next layer you add to your card. For the card above, I knew I was going to place the flower layer in the left corner so that’s where I placed some Stampin’ Seal.

To create the layers for my flower, I cut these leaves in half, and adhered them along with the gold foil leaves to the back of the flowers with Mini Glue Dots. Then using Stampin’ Dimensionals adhered the flower image to the Night of Navy oval die cut.

To finish my card i added the final flower to the card with Stampin’ Seal. Then added the the sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

With the Kerchief Kit, Many Happenings and Many Messages stamps, Messages die and a few other of my favorite label dies, I was able to create a whole set of cards to celebrate the wonderful women in my life.
