My project features the Speedy Recover Stamp set. I love how the flower stamp works so well with the Awash In Beauty DSP. This easy fun fold starts with a note card from the Note Card & Envelopes. Score the front panel of the card at 1-3/4″ and fold it back.

Cut 2 pieces of Awash In Beauty DSP to 1-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ and adhere to the the front panel and the inside of the front panel. Cut another piece of Awash In Beauty DSP to 3-1/4″ x 4-3/4″ and adhere to the inside of the cardbase. I used the same pattern for both of the 1-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ pieces of DSP but you could choose 3 different patterns to show of the pretty paper.

Next, I die cut 2 of the largest circles from the Basic Shapes Dies. For the front label I stamped the flower image with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored in the image with Stampin’ Blends. Then I stamped the greeting. To create the wrap around the flowers, I stamped the same flower image a second time on a scrap of Basic White Cardstock in Rich Razzleberry. Then, I snipped out just the wrap and adhered it over top of the stamped image on my label.

Be sure when adhering the label to the front of the card you only want to add adhesive to one side of the label so the card will open. You don’t want to make a mistake and put adhesive on the entire label or your card won’t open.

Adhere the second circle to the inside of the card right behind the front label so when the card is closed you don’t see it. To finish up my card I added a few Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels to my card. Below are a few other variations of my card.

Father’s Day – Luv 2 Stamp Group Blog Hop

May 22, 2022 / Alphabest, Classic, Fabulous Frames, Father's Day, He's All That, He's The Man, Rustic Metallic Dots / 2 Comments

Welcome to the Luv 2 Stamp Group Blog Hop! We hope you enjoy our Father’s Day Theme!

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. This month our Theme is Father’s Day.

My Father’s Day card features the Alphabest Bundle. It’s a great stamp set for creating that perfect sentiment. I wanted this Father’s Day card to have the look of a message board.

To create this fun and quick card, I started with a piece Sahara Sand cardstock for the cardbase. I cut a piece of He’s the Man DSP and adhered to the cardbase.

To create the message board I scored a piece of Basic White Cardstock on the short side every 1/4″. Next, I used the Fabulous Frames Dies and Early Espresso cardstock to create the frame for the message board. I used Stampin Dimensionals to adhere the frame to the Basic White cardstock, then trimmed it to the size of the frame. To give it a little more stability before adding the letters, I cut a piece of Foam Adhesive sheet and attached it to the back of the Basic White cardstock.

I stamped the letters in Early Espresso and Cajun Craze and punched them out with the Best Label punch. Using a bone folder I gently cured the ends of the letters and attached them with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I also added a few Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots. Then I peeled the backing off of the Foam Adhesive sheet to attach it to the cardbase.

On the inside of the card I added a piece of Basic White Cardstock and stamped this fun image from the He’s All That stamp set. I used a piece of Masking Paper to cover up part of the sentiment before stamping it. I’m so happy that Stampin’ Up! added Masking Paper to the tools in the new Annual Catalog! I will definitely be using it a lot.

Alphabest Stamp Case Tip:

I shared this tip on Instagram and thought it was worth sharing here for everyone. The graphic in the stamp case is confusing for me. I was mixing up some of the letters and numbers.

To fix this, I cut a shipping label to 5″ x 6-7/8″. I put as many of the stamps as I could fit, in the order that I wanted, on the largest clear block and stamped the label. Put the few remaining stamps on a clear block and stamped them.

Then with the backing still on the label slipped it into the case over the graphic of chaos. When I put the stamps in the case they are backward but it’s much easier for me to find the letter or number I’m looking for.

I hope you enjoyed my project and the Tip for the Alphabest stamp case today! For more inspiration from the Luv 2 Stamp Group Blog Hop Team, click on the image below to visit the talented Patty Bennett! Don’t forget to continue following links on each blog to see everyone’s projects!
