Naturally Gilded Thank You Card

/ , , , / Leave a Comment

I created this pretty little note card with Stampin’ Up!’s Very Vanilla Note Cards & Envelopes, which are great to have on hand when you need a quick card. They are available in Very Vanilla and Whisper White. Each pack has 20 card bases and envelopes which makes them a great value as well.

This thank you card was easy and quick to put together with some pretty paper and simple stamping. I love the Naturally Gilded Designer Series Paper paired with Melon Mambo cardstock. The Melon Mambo is just the right pop of bright pretty color this cards needs.

Luv 2 Stamp Group Blog Hop-Seaside Bay

/ , , , / 16 Comments

Welcome to the Luv 2 Stamp Group Blog Hop!

We are excited to share projects with you again this year. We hope to inspire you to create beautiful new projects using Stampin’ Up! products. For our theme this month we are featuring New Products coming on January 5th!

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. Happy Crafting!

One of the Stamp sets I received with my pre-order is the Seaside Bay Stamp set. I I love the crab image in this set. It reminds me of the summers when I was a kid, we spent a week at the beach with my grandparents. Every year one night for dinner we would have a bushel of steamed crabs. Grandad taught us how to open them, pick them and crack open the claws.

To create my card I started with a Balmy Blue Cardbase. I selected 3 patterns from the By The Bay Specialty Designer Series Paper. I cut 2 strips of the DSP to 1/2″ x 5-1/2″ and attached them to the front of the cardbase. I love the pattern of the Night of Navy DSP pattern it looks like water.

With a second pattern of the By the Bay DSP I trimmed it to 3-3/4″ x 5-1/2″ and adhered it to the cardbase.

To create the label, I selected a 3rd pattern of the By the Bay DSP and trimmed it to 2-1/4″ x 3-1/2″. I adhered it to the Night of Navy pattern cut to 2-1/2″ x 3-3/4″. On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy and added the sand stamp in Sahara Sand. I die cut it with the Something Fancy Dies. I attached it to the label layer with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the crab on Basic White in Pacific Point and fussy cut it out and adhered it to the sentiment.

To finish the front of the card I added a few Iridescent Pastel Gems! I love a bit of sparkle on a card.

Inside the card I added a Basic White panel with a strip of DSP cut to 1/2″ x 5-1/2″.

All the amazing products I used to create my card, Seaside Bay Stamp Set, Something Fancy Dies, By the Bay Specialty DSP (pictured below with the Iridescent Pastel Gems) will be available beginning January 5, 2023!!

Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop – September Customer Thank You

/ , , , , / 18 Comments

Welcome to our Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator Training Program Monthly Blog Hop!

We are so happy that you could join us today for this blog hop for ideas and creative inspiration. Our blog hop focuses on the Thank You cards we are sending to our customers.

I wanted to feature a Fall theme to my thank you cards. The Leaf Labels & Amber Gems Combo Pack are perfect for this quick and easy card. I colored in a piece of Perfectly Penciled DSP with Watercolor Pencils and brushed on a Wink of Stella over the leaves, which not only give a bit of sparkle to the DSP but also helped to blend in the colors of the Watercolor Pencils. Then I adhered the DSP to a piece of Merry Merlot Cardstock. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the Layers to the Crumb Cake Cardstock base.

I die cut the stitched circle with the Stylish Shapes Dies and a piece of Brushed Metallic Cardstock. Then with a bit of Stampin’ Seal+ on the back, I added some of the gold trim from the Simply Elegant Trim, then added it to the lower left corner of of my card.

I brushed a little Merry Merlot, and Pumpkin Pie ink with a Blending Brush on a Leaf Label, to give it a bit of color, and added it to the Brushed Metallic Circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The Sending Smiles “A Note of Thanks” sentiment is stamped Merry Merlot on Basic White Cardstock. Then die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added it to the card over the leaf and a few of the Amber Gems to complete the card.

A Note of Thanks Card Measurements

  • Crumb Cake Cardstock Base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score and fold in half at 4-1/4″
  • Merry Merlot Cardstock: 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″
  • Perfectly Penciled DSP: 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″
  • Scrap of Basic White Cardstock for the label
  • Scrap of Brushed Metallic Cardstock for circle

My Customer Thank You cards this month feature the Charming Sentiments Bundle and Abstract Beauty DSP. If you’ve been following me you know that I love an eye catching and easy to create card. This pretty card is no exception, and this card layout is also great for showing off Designer Series Paper.

To create this card I cut a piece of Blushing Bride Cardstock to 4-1/4″ x 11″ and scored it in half at 5-1/2″. I adhered a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Abstract Beauty DSP to the card base. Next, I adhered a 2-3/4″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Abstract Beauty DSP. I die cut a piece of Blushing Bride cardstock using the Deckled Rectangles Dies and adhered it to the card.

To Create the label, I die cut the hexagon with the Beautiful Shapes Dies. Then using the Charming Sentiments stamp set, I stamped the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and die cut it with the Charming Sentiments Dies. I love the extra shapes that are included with the Charming Sentiments Dies and cut out the Blushing Bride heart. I added the sentiment and heart to the hexagon with Stampin’ Dimensionals, then added the hexagon with Stampin’ Dimensionals as well. To finish the front of my card I added a few Adhesive Backed Hexagons.

On the inside of my card I added a piece of Basic White DSP and Abstract Beauty DSP. This strip of Abstract Beauty DSP is the scrap left over from the same pattern I used on the card front, trimmed to 1″ x 5-1/2″. I wanted us use up my pack of Abstract Beauty DSP before it retires at the end of the month, so I created several in one batch.

A Cup of Tea with Glimmer

/ , , , / Leave a Comment

The Cup of Tea Bundle is one of my favorite Bundles n the new Annual Catalog! As a lover of Tea this was at the top of my shopping list!

My card also features the 2022-2024 In Color 6’x6″ Glimmer Paper. If you haven’t tried it, Glimmer Paper is amazing! I love the shimmer it adds to my projects and its mess free! No traces of glitter all over my craft room!

To create this card I cut (2) 1/2″x 5-1/2″ strips of Starry Sky Glimmer Paper, and (2) 1/2″x5-1/2″ Parakeet Party Glimmer Paper. I adhered them to the Basic White cardbase with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I die cut a stitched circle in Vellum with the Stylish Shapes Dies. Using Tear & Tape I added a strip of White glittered Organdy Ribbon. I added another strip of Tear & Tape over the ribbon to add it to my cardbase.

Then using an Adhesive Sheet added to the back of some Parakeet Party Glimmer Paper, I die cut the leaf tea cup. I die cut the sold Tea Cup in Starry Sky Glimmer Paper. This made adding the Parakeet Party Tea Cup to the Starry Sky tea cup super quick and easy. I attached the tea cup to the Vellum Circle with Foam Adhesive Sheet cut to fit the cup.

To finish my card, I stamped 2 tea tags in Starry Sky and Parakeet Party and die cut them. I tied some Basic White Bakers Twine to my card and left 2 long tales at the top. Using Glue dots I attached the tags to them. I added these cute die cut hearts to the back of the tags with another glue dot.

Cup of Tea with Glimmer Card Measurements:

  • Basic White Thick Cardstock Base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score in half at 4-1/4″
  • Starry Sky Glimmer Paper Strip: (2) 1/2″ x 5-1/2″
  • Parakeet Party Glimmer Paper Strip: (2) 1/2″ x 5-1/2″
