Earthen Textures Card

October 16, 2023October 16, 2023 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello!

I’m back again after more than a month long absence. I’ve been undergoing renovations in my home and things have been beyond hectic! I’ve been sitting on lots of new products from the holiday mini catalog that have yet to be touched, so my next few posts will be for cards that I’ve made in the last two months as I play catch up. There will probably be weeks here and there where I will be missing again, as I finish up with contractors and furniture deliveries, but these will be minor interruptions.

Today’s card is another one I made using the Earthen Elegance Suite, which was the first thing I purchased when the new annual catalog came out.

Here is how I made the card.

Card base – cut a piece of Copper Clay cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 11″, score at 5 1/2″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the cross hatch embossing folder from the Basics 3D Embossing Folder set. Adhere to card front.
Cut a strip of Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper at 1 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere to left side of embossed piece. Adhere to card front.
Use the long vase die from the Earthen Textures Dies to run two different DSP scrap pieces through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Cut a small piece of the brown and white DSP with the drip design and run through machine with smaller vase die.
Run large leaf and vase handles through machine with Distressed Gold Specialty Paper and coordinating dies. Adhere vase handle piece to one of the large vases.

Stamp two different leaf images on Very Vanilla cardstock with Pecan Pie and Misty Moonlight ink. run through die cutting machine with coordinating dies.
Run a scrap piece of Pecan Pie cardstock through die cutting machine with the twig die.
To assemble the card, adhere the large Distressed Gold leaf to the back of one of the large vase pieces with mini glue dots. Adhere to card front. Adhere the Pecan Pie leaf and twig to the back of the other large vase with mini glue dots. Adhere the Misty Moonlight leaf to the smaller vase with mini glue dots. Adhere both vases to card front, overlapping the center vase.
Stamp greeting with Pecan Pie ink on scrap piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, trim the cardstock and adhere to card front with Mini Stampin Dimensionals.
Add a bit of bling with a few Copper Clay Adhesive-Backed Gems.
For the inside of the card, cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Stamp a leaf image with Pecan Pie ink in the bottom left corner and adhere.

International Highlights Winners Blog Hop-Layering Leaves

June 26, 2023June 26, 2023 | Rhonda Kleiman

I’m very excited to be participating in Kylie Bertucci’s International Highlights Top 10 Winners Blog Hop this month! Thanks so much to everyone that voted for my card in the International Blog Highlights. It is an honor to be included in this group of talented designers from around the world! This Cheerful Daisies card won me a spot in this Blog Hop. Click here to see full directions on how to make the card.

Today’s card features the Layering Leaves stamp set. It is one of the first sets I purchased from the new annual catalog because of its versatility and the fabulous greetings and font. The color palette was inspired by one of my favorite Talbots spring sweaters! The pink flowers were calling out Bubble Bath and I also selected Blueberry Bushel, Boho Blue and Orchid Oasis.

Here is how I made the card.

Card base – cut piece of Blueberry Bushel cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 11″, score at 5 1/2″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Cut piece of Bubble Bath cardstock at 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ and adhere to card front.
Stamp seven large leaves as follows: two Boho Blue tone on tone; two Orchid Oasis tone on tone, two Boho Blue stamped with Boho Blue ink on Basic White cardstock; one Orchid Oasis stamped with Orchid Oasis ink on Basic White cardstock. Punch out with the Boughs Punch.
Stamp five of the smaller leaves with Bubble Bath tone on tone and punch them out.
Punch out three large vellum leaves and three small vellum leaves.

Punch Blueberry Bushel circle with the Decorative Circle punch. Stamp greeting with Versamark ink and heat emboss with white embossing powder. The embossing powder is one in a set of three basic Stampin’ Emboss Powders.
Arrange the leaves on a piece of Basic White cardstock cut at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Adhere the vellum leaves first with either a few dots of liquid glue or glue dots. I placed two large leaves at the top and one at the bottom, two small leaves at the middle left side and one at the middle right side. Adhere four large stamped leaves at the top and three at the bottom. Adhere two pink leaves at the top and three at the bottom.
Using the speckles stamp, fill in some of the white space around the leaves by lightly stamping with Bubble Bath ink . Adhere piece to the card front.
Adhere the embossed greeting with Stampin’ Dimensionals in the middle of the leaf arrangement. Embellish with a few Blueberry Bushel gems from the Tinsel Gem Four-Pack.

Layering Leaves Quick & Easy Card

June 22, 2023June 22, 2023 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello!

Today’s card features the Layering Leaves stamp set and coordinating Bough Punch. This is the customer thank you card I sent out in May. It was also one of the class projects I recently did for a group of women that had never stamped before. Layering Leaves is one of the first stamp sets I purchased when the new annual catalog went live. The lovely images and greetings are so versatile! I used the Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper, which is an Online Exclusive product.

Here is how I made the cards.

Card base: Cut a piece of Lost Lagoon cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ and adhere to card front. Cut piece of Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper at 4″ x 5 1/4″.
Stamp one of the large leaf designs with Lost Lagoon ink and one of the small leaf designs with Soft Sea Foam ink on a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock and punch out with the Boughs punch.
Cut a piece of Soft Sea Foam cardstock at 2″ x 3 1/2″. Stamp greeting with Lost Lagoon ink. Run through die cutting machine with the smaller oblong shaped die from the Something Fancy dies.
Cut a piece of Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon at 5″ and wrap sides around the DSP piece. This ribbon is so pretty when you see it in person and it is very easy to work with!
Adhere the leaves to the card front with mini glue dots. Slide the leaves under the ribbon. Adhere the greeting with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. With the 3/4″ leftover strip of DSP, cut the width to 4″ and adhere to cardstock as a way to decorate the inside of the card. Stamp greeting of your choice and adhere to card.

Cheerful Daisies-Kylie’s International Blog Highlights

June 5, 2023June 5, 2023 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello! It’s been a long time since I last participated in Kylie Bertucci’s International Blog Highlights. Readers get to vote on their top five favorites in the gallery and the top 10 winners will get to participate in an International Blog Hop later this month. The theme is “thank you”. This card uses products from the the Fresh as a Daisy Suite. I stumbled onto the Flying Seagull fun fold on Susan Campfield’s blog and couldn’t wait to try it out and this is what I came up with. It looks hard to do but is actually not that difficult!

Here is how I made the card.

Card base – cut two pieces of Pebbled Path cardstock at 8 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ and score them at 2 1/4″, 4″, 6 1/4″.
Pop-up piece – cut one 4 1/4″ square Pebbled Path cardstock, one 4″ square of Crushed Curry cardstock and one 3 3/4″ square of Basic White cardstock. Adhere the Pebbled Path and Crushed Curry squares together.
Stamp daisy images on the 3 3/4″ Basic white square. Stamp the stems and leaves with Garden Green ink. Stamp the daisy outline images with Crushed Curry ink. Stamp the flower centers with Wild Wheat ink. Adhere to the larger square piece.
Stamp greeting from the Go to Greetings stamp set with Peppled Path ink on scrap piece of Basic White cardstock and cut out with the label die from the Something Fancy Dies. Adhere to stamped image with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Embellish with a few 2023-2025 In Color Dots.
Fresh as a Daisy DSP – cut two pieces of the daisy print at 2″ x 4″ for the outer side panels and cut two pieces of the Pebbled Path woodgrain print at 1 1/2″ x 4. Cut two pieces of Basic White cardstock at 2″ x 4″ to write a message or stamp a greeting on the inside panels.

With the widest portion of the card bases on the left, fold it up, mountain fold. Fold the two other score lines down, valley folds. Be sure to give a good sharp crease to each of the folds.
Adhere the two card bases to the stamped image. Place it down and with the second valley fold, right side of base, adhere to the back of the stamped image, leaving a scant 1/4″ border. Repeat with second card base. The folds should be butting up to each other on the back.
Adhere DSP and Basic White cardstock strips to the wings. Tuck the outer wings under the stamped image.

I’d be so appreciative if you would vote for my card! Click on the vote image below. Once you are in the gallery, click on the heart at the top right hand side of the picture as the hearts appear.

Favored Flowers Cards

February 27, 2023February 27, 2023 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello!

Today’s cards feature the Favored Flowers 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper that you can earn as a free Sale-A-Bration gift with a $50 purchase. There are only two days left for this year’s Sale-A-Bration so now is your last chance to get this beautiful paper! These cards are easy peasy to put together and require very little stamping – just a greeting! I wanted to show off the paper to its full effect.

Here is how I made the first card.

Card base – cut a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Cut a piece of Favored Flowers DSP at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Use your paper trimmer to place the DSP on the diagonal, lining up opposite points with the cutting track and cut. Hold paper and carefully turn so that the two remaining opposite corners are lined up with the cutting track and cut. You can choose to use one sheet of DSP and use the front and back for the card or you can cut two different pieces of DSP and mix and match the designs.
Adhere the pieces with the long ends at the top and bottom of the card. Adhere the pieces with the shorter ends on the sides of the card. There will be a space in the center of the card and that’s okay because the greeting will cover it. I used liquid adhesive to give me a bit more wiggle room when adhering the pieces.
Stamp a greeting of your choice with Blackberry Bliss ink on a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock. I chose a greeting from the Charming Sentiments stamp set. Run through die cutting machine with a circle die from the Stylish Shapes die set. Run a scrap piece of Blackberry Bliss through die cutting machine with a larger circle from the Stylish Shapes die set. Adhere to greeting and adhere the piece to the center of the card.
For the inside of the card cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Cut a strip of the DSP at 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere to bottom of the cardstock. Adhere to inside of card.

I made the second card as my customer thank you’s for January. Here is how I made it.

Card base – cut a piece of Calypso Coral cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Cut two pieces of the DSP, one at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and one at 2 3/4″ x 2 1/2″. Adhere the larger piece to the card base. Cut a piece of Petal Pink cardstock at 3″ x 3 3/4″ and adhere it to the smaller piece of DSP. Adhere piece to card front.
Run a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock through die cutting machine with the second smallest rounded edge die from the Tailor Made Tags dies. Stamp greeting with Mossy Meadow ink. I chose the greeting from the Biggest Wish stamp set.
Cut a piece of a 1/4″ or 1/8″ of ribbon at 8″. Slide through the hole at the top of the tag and make a slip knot. Cut ends of ribbon at an angle. I used Petal Pink ribbon that is retired, as it worked perfectly on the card!
For the inside of the card, I did the same thing as for the first card.

Texture Chic Fun Fold-Kylie’s International Blog Highlights

September 5, 2022September 5, 2022 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello! For those of you in the US, I hope you have been enjoying the Labor Day weekend. I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since I last participated in Kylie Bertucci’s International Blog Highlights! Readers get to vote on their top five favorites in the gallery and the top 10 winners will get to participate in an International Blog Hop later this month. The theme is “thank you”.

My card features the Texture Chic Suite from the annual catalog. It is my most favorite suite and is the first one I purchased when the new catalog was introduced. The card is a fun fold that really shows off the beautiful Designer Series Papers to their fullest. I found this fold when I was browsing through Connie Stewart’s blog and decided to give it a try for a class project I was working on last month.

Here is how I made the card.

Card base – Cut a piece of Sahara Sand cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″.
Cut a piece of Petal Pink cardstock at 4″ x 10 1/2″ and score at 5 1/4″. Fold and crease sharply with a bone folder
Cut two pieces of Petal Pink cardstock at 2 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ and score both pieces lengthwise at 1/2″. Fold and crease sharply with a bone folder. Adhere pieces to both sides to the back of the bottom half of the larger piece of Petal Pink cardstock. Adhere entire piece to the Sahara Sand card base.
Cut a piece of Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series paper at 3 3/4″ x 5″. Cut a piece of Gold 1/4″ Shimmer Ribbon and tie into a bow around the DSP. Adhere to card front.
Prepare pieces for the card front collage. Cut a piece of Distressed Gold paper to fit the grid die from the Chic Dies. Cut a piece of an Adhesive Sheet to fit and adhere to paper. Run though the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Adhere to card front over the ribbon. This piece will be the base for the collage.

Die cut two different leaf shapes from scrap pieces of Soft Succulent cardstock. Back the cardstock with Adhesive Sheet before running through die cutting machine.
Die cut three flower bases with scrap pieces of Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper. Die cut three open flower accent pieces from scrap pieces of Petal Pink cardstock. Before die cutting, adhere pieces of Adhesive Sheet to each piece. Adhere the accent pieces to the flower bases.
Adhere leaf pieces to top part of the Distressed Gold grid piece. Arrange the three flowers and adhere with liquid glue . Add a Champagne Rhinestone to the center of each flower.
Cut four pieces of DSP at 1 3/4″ x 5″ for the fun fold side flaps. Select two different pieces of DSP. Adhere one set to the front of the flaps and the other set to the inside of the flaps.

Cut another piece of the DSP used for the inside flaps at 1 1/4″ x 4″ and adhere to inside upper part of the Petal Pink card flap.

Cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock at 3 3/4″ x 5″. Stamp the swoosh image from the Season of Chic stamp set with Petal Pink ink, stamping off once before stamping onto the cardstock. Stamp the greeting with Sahara Sand over the swoosh image. Adhere a large Brushed Brass Butterfly to the upper left corner. Adhere piece to inside.

Card base – Cut a piece of Calypso Coral cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Cut a piece of Calpyso Coral paper from the Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere to card front.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 3 3/4″ x 5 1/4″ and run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the largest Stitched Rectangle Die.
Stamp greeting from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set with Crumb Cake ink.
Cut piece of Crumb Cake cardstock at 1 3/4″ x 5″. Cut out with the thin wildflower die from the Harvest Dies.
Cut piece of Be Dazzling Specialty Paper at 2″ x 2 1/2″. Cut a piece of an adhesive sheet to the same size and adhere. Cut out with the small pumpkin die from the Detailed Pumpkin Dies. Note: The Be Dazzling Specialty Paper was a Sale-A-Bration item and is no longer available. You can substitute any other metallic paper in its place.
Cut a piece of the Crumb Cake paper that looks like willows from the Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper at 2 1/4″ x 4″. Cut a piece of an adhesive sheet to the same size and adhere . Cut out with the large filigree pumpkin die from the Detailed Pumpkin Dies.
Die cut a leaf from a scrap piece of a Gold Foil sheet.

Before adhering the Crumb Cake wildflower piece, trim the bottom of the stems to fit the Basic White cardstock piece. Adhere with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Peel backing off the adhesive sheet on the filigree pumpkin and adhere to Basic White cardstock piece. Adhere the gold leaf under the pumpkin stem with liquid glue.
Peel backing off the adhesive sheet on the small pumpkin and adhere, overlapping the bottom of the wildflower piece and filigree pumpkin.
