Beautiful Blues Designed Cards & Creative Inspiration

/ Leave a Comment

If you love the ease of a kit but still enjoy adding your own creative spin, you’re going to love today’s project. I’m sharing a closer look at the Beautiful Blues Kit from Stampin’ Up!’s Kits Collection, along with one of the many cards I created using the kit elements as inspiration.

The Beautiful Blues Kit comes with everything you need to create beautiful, coordinated cards right out of the box:

  • Beautiful Blues Exclusive Photopolymer Stamp Set
  • Clear Stamp Block
  • Night of Navy Classic Stampin’ Spot
  • 9 printed card bases and matching envelopes
  • Precut Paper Pieces & Dot Embellishments
  • Adhesive

Cards as Designed

The kit includes instructions to create three card designs (you can make 3 each of 3 designs), and they’re beautiful just as they are. The rich blues, floral details, and thoughtful sentiments make these perfect for thank you, encouragement, and sympathy cards. I crafted these following the instructions. I love how they turned out.

Taking the Kit a Step Further

After making the cards as designed, I couldn’t resist creating something a little different using the kit elements as my starting point. For this fun fold card I used one of the print card bases in place of Designer Series Paper. I cut a 1″ strip off of the right side and adhered them to a Secret Sea card base. The 1″ strip is actually on the inside of my card along with a piece of Basic White cardstock.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed seeing both the cards as designed and my fun fold alternatives card.

Beautiful Blues Fun Fold Measurements:

  • Secret Sea card base: 5-1/2″ x 7-1/2″, Score on the long side at 3-1/4″
  • Beautiful Blues card base: 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
  • Basic White cardstock (inside panel): 3-1/4″ x 5-1/2″

Happy Stamping!

Luv 2 Stamp Group Blog Hop-Awash In Beauty

/ 6 Comments

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 names to go to their post, or you can click the next button to go to the next post in line. We hope you enjoy all our projects featuring Designer Series Paper!

The accordion fold I used for my card today is perfect for the Awash In Beauty Designer Series Paper with all the pretty colors and flowers. To create this pretty card, start with a piece of Designer Series Paper cut to 5-1/4″ x11-3/4″, score on the long side at 1-3/4″, 4-3/4″, & 7-3/4″. Then adhere the largest side of the fun fold to the cardstock card base.

Inside I adhered a piece of Basic White dies cut from the Scallop Contours Dies.

I stamped the sentiments, then die cut the labels with the Something Fancy Dies. Then I stamped and die cut flowers and foliage using the new Irresistable Blooms Bundle, which will be available beginning March 1st. Then I used Blending Brushes to shade in the blooms and foliage. I layered the sentiments and flowers on the Designer Series Paper.

I added a few Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the flowers and Brushed Brass Butterflies as the final touch for this pretty card.

I love how this card turned out so I made a few more and used the Deckled Rectangles Dies as well as the Scallop Contours Dies for the inside of the card.
