Friendly Hello

February 6, 2022February 5, 2022 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello! Today’s card features the Friendly Hello stamp set and coordinating Designer Series Paper that you can earn for free with a $100 purchase during Sale-A-Bration. This is such a sweet stamp set and the DSP designs are soft and pretty. The card layout is one I frequently use, usually in landscape, however, I chose to do this card in portrait because it looked much better this way as I was designing the card!

Here is how I made the card.

Card base – cut a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 11″, score at 5 1/2″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Cut a piece of Pool Party cardstock at 4″ x 4″ square. Cut a piece of the striped paper from the Friendly Hello DSP at 3 7/8″ x 3 7/8″ square and adhere to Pool Party cardstock.
Cut a length of Fresh Freesia 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon and tie in a bow around the Pool Party Piece. Adhere to card base.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″ and run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the next to largest die from the Scalloped Contours Dies.
Stamp the bird image with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Color the bird with the light and dark Pool Party Stampin’ Blends. Color the flowers with the light and dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends. Color the leaf stem with the light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend.
Stamp the greeting below the bird image with Fresh Freesia ink.
Adhere die cut piece to card front. Add an Irridescent Rhinestone to the center of each flower.
For the inside of the card, cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. I used the birthday greeting from the set and stamped it with Fresh Freesia ink. Stamp the small floral image in the bottom left corner and color with Stampin’ Blends. Adhere to inside of card.

Seas the Day Birthday Card

January 30, 2022January 30, 2022 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello! Last Sunday my father turned 100 years old! He is a wonderful man and I treasure every minute I’m able to spend with him. I set up a Zoom gathering so that family and friends could join in the celebration and we had a great time reminiscing. One of my most favorite stamp sets for making cards for men is Sailing Home and I decided to use the light house as focal point. I also thought that the large frame die in the Sea Dies from the Seas the Day bundle would be a perfect accent. The Simply Marbelous Designer Series Paper, one of the free Sale-A-Bration items, made for a great background piece because it looks like water. I used bits and pieces from several other stamp and die sets, making this card a mashup!

Here is how I made the card.

Card base – cut a piece of Misty Moonlight 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 Balmy Blue cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine with the large frame die from the Sea Dies set. Use a sponge dauber or blending brush and Shaded Spruce ink to lightly accent the seaweed pieces at the bottom of the frame.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 2 1/2″ x 3 1/2″. Stamp the lighthouse from the Sailing Home stamp set with Basic Gray ink. Run through die cutting machine with the coordinating die from the Smooth Sailing Dies set. Brush Wink of Stella over the image.
Stamp greeting from the Handsomely Suited stamp set on scrap piece of Basic White cardstock with Misty Moonlight ink. Cut out with any die or punch that will fit the greeting.

Cut a piece of the Balmy Blue paper from the Simply Marbleous DSP at 4″ x 5 1/4″. At the bottom third of the paper, stamp the sand image from the Oceanfront stamp set with Crumb Cake ink multiple times. Stamp the long leaf image on the right side of the paper with Shaded Spruce ink three times. Stamp the seagulls from the Sailing Home stamp set in the upper middle of the paper with Misty Moonlight ink two times.
Place the lighthouse on the DSP and then place the frame over it to position the lighthouse. Once it looks good, remove the frame and adhere the lighthouse. Adhere the frame over the DSP. Adhere piece to card base.
Adhere the greeting with dimensionals. Adhere a variety of Pebbles Enamel Shapes around the bottom of the frame.

For the inside of the card, cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Stamp greeting from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set. This set has a wonderful variety of greetings for all occasions. Stamp Happy Birthday on scrap piece of cardstock . I used the greeting from the Artistically Inked stamp set and cut the words apart.
For the numbers, cut a piece of an adhesive sheet the same size as a scrap piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock. Use the numbers from the Playful Alphabet Dies and run through the die cutting machine. Arrange the words and numbers and adhere. I also used part of the remaining piece of DSP to cut a strip at 3/4″ x 4″ and adhered on the reverse side at the bottom of the piece. Adhere entire piece to inside of card.

Sweet Talk Tailor Made Tags Card

January 24, 2022January 24, 2022 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello! Today’s card is one of five cards from my January Valentine’s Day class-to go. All of the projects featured products from the Sweet Talk Suite in the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. I cased the card from one that is shown on page 10 in the catalog. This card was quick and easy to make and shows off the fun Designer Series Paper.

Here is how I made the card.

Card base – Cut piece of Real Red cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 11″, score at 5 1/2″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Cut a piece of Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere to card front.
Cut a piece of the Highland Heather sheet of DSP with the words written in white at 2 1/4″ x 4 1/2″. Run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the largest Tailor Made Tag with the rounded top.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 2 1/4″ x 4 1/2″ and run through the machine with the same tag die.
Cut an 8″ length of ribbon to tie the two tags together. I used some retired Highland Heather ribbon that was a Sale-a-Bration item a few years ago, so you can use any ribbon in your stash that matches the colors in the DSP. Put the two tags together and insert ribbon into both of the holes and tie with a slip knot. Trim ends.

To make the words for the tag, use a scrap piece of Real Red cardstock that measures 1 1/4″ x 2 1/4″. Cut a piece of Foam Adhesive Sheet the same size, peel off one of the backings and adhere to cardstock. Cut letters from the Playful Alphabet Dies – one “L”, one “V” and two “U”. Run through the Cut and Emboss Machine. Peel backings off the letters and adhere to the Basic White tag as shown.
Stamp hearts with Blushing Bride ink at bottom of tag. I used a stamp from the Love Notes stamp set, which is retired. If you own the Sweet Conversations stamp set you can use the image with the three small hearts.
Adhere tags to front of card. Adhere the Highland Heather tag first, placing it at an angle. Adhere the Basic White tag over it, straight up and down.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and stamp a Valentine’s Day greeting of your choice. Adhere to inside of card.

New Horizons Meets Inspiring Canopy

January 9, 2022January 8, 2022 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello! Today’s card features products from the New Horizons Suite in the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog, along with Inspiring Canopy, one of my favorite dies from the annual catalog.

This suite was the first thing that caught my eye in the new mini catalog, especially the stunning designer series paper. You can make simple and beautiful cards with just the DSP alone and a greeting, however the fun comes in when using the DSP as a backdrop to incorporate die cuts, stamped images, and accessories.

Here is how I made the card.

Card base – cut a piece of Pale Papaya cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Select a piece of paper from the New Horizons Designer Series Papers and trim to 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″. I chose a paper that had more subtle sections of grass and sky to get the look I wanted. In the upper right corner of the DSP, stamp the seagulls from the On the Horizon stamp set with Misty Moonlight ink once at full strength. Stamp the image again, moving slightly down and to the left of the first image, and stamping off once before stamping onto the paper.
Cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock at 4″ x 5 3/4″ and run it through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the trees from the Inspiring Canopy dies.
Color the trees using blending brushes. I used Old Olive as the primary color for the grass, adding a bit of Soft Succulent. For the tree trunks and branches I started with Soft Suede for the tree trunks, Crumb Cake for the bottom portion of the branches and Sahara Sand for the tops of the branches, going over each section to build up the color. I also stamped the grass part with the smallest grass image from the Oceanfront stamp set. I used Old Olive ink and randomly stamped the image across the area, some at full strength and some stamping off first.

Adhere the die cut to the DSP with liquid glue. You can also use adhesive sheets but you have to prep the cardstock with the sheet prior to die cutting.
Adhere the DSP piece to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Stamp “Breathe” with Soft Suede ink on a scrap piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and trim with Paper Snips Scissors. Adhere to card front with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. My strip of cardstock was narrow so I cut the dimensionals in half.
I added some Cinnamon Cider embellishments from the Pebbles Enamel Shapes right above the grassy area for an added accent.

For the inside of the card, cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″.

Stamp the large grass image from the On the Horizon stamp set with Old Olive ink several times approximately 1 1/2″ from the bottom of the piece. Alternate stamping at full strength and stamping off. I used one of the strips of DSP that was left over from the piece I used for the card front, cutting it down to 3/4″ x 5 1/4″ and adhered it to the bottom of the piece, covering up the bottoms of the stamped leaves, leaving just the top of the leaves showing.

Happy Hedgehogs

December 30, 2021December 30, 2021 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello! Today’s card is a sneak peek of the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set and Hedgehog Builder Punch from the new January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. You will be able to purchase these items beginning on January 4th. This is not the type of stamp set I normally purchase but I couldn’t resist working with these darling images – they are too cute!

Here is how I made the card.

Card base – cut a piece of Pool Party cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Place the largest circle die from the Layering Circles dies in the center of the card front and run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine.

Randomly stamp the butterfly with Pool Party ink all around the card front.
Cut a 3 1/2″ square of Basic White cardstock and stamp the tree image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Color with these Stampin’ Blends: Light Soft Suede, Light and Dark Old Olive, Light and Dark Flirty Flamingo, Dark Petal Pink. When I stamped the image, I left off the bottom part of the tree trunk and stamped the grass with the little grass stamp and Old Olive ink. Adhere to the back of card front, making sure to center the image in the circle opening.
Since I used Stampin’ Blends to color the image, the colors bled through to the back of the cardstock, so I cut a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Pattern Party Designer Series Paper and adhered it over the back of the image in order to cover it up.

Stamp a large and small hedgehog on scrap pieces of Basic White cardstock. These are the Stampin’ Blends I used to color in the images. Light Petal Pink for the bodies, Dark Flirty Flamingo for the ears. Light Soft Suede for the top part of the larger Hedgehog, Dark Crumb Cake for the smaller hedgehog. I also colored around the bottom of each body, following the little lines.
Punch out the larger hedgehog with the builder punch and adhere to bottom left of card front as shown. I used liquid glue on the part that is adhered outside the circle and placed two Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals underneath the part that is inside the circle. Fussy cut the smaller hedgehog and adhere in the same manner at the upper right of card front.

Stamp the greeting on a scrap piece of Petal Pink cardstock with the Memento ink. Run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine with the smallest rectangle scallop die from the Stitched So Sweetly dies. Adhere with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to card as shown.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Stamp the mushroom image with the Memento ink in bottom left. Color the image with Dark Petal Pink, Dark Flirty Flamingo, Light Crumb Cake and Light and Dark Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. Adhere to inside of card.

I had such fun making this card and it brought a smile to my face as I was working on it!

Thanks for stopping by today! Wishing you a very Happy and Healthy New Year!

Whimsey & Wonder

December 24, 2021December 24, 2021 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello! These are the last two Christmas cards I will be featuring this year. I have many more, but ran out of time to get them posted! These two cards feature the Whimsey & Wonder Suite and these are the ones I sent out to my customers. As soon as I laid eyes on this suite in the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog, it called out my name! I just loved the non-traditional, but beautiful colors in the Designer Series Paper. This suite was very popular, but will not be returning next year. The only product still available on the retired list is the Whimsical Trees stamp set, so if you have been thinking about purchasing it, now is the time!

Here is how I made the Christmas ornament card. This layout was featured in a recent YouTube video by Lisa Curcio.

Card base – cut a piece of Mint Macaron 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″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere to card front.
Cut a piece of the Christmas ornament paper from the Whimsey & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper at 3 3/4″ x 5″ and adhere to Basic White cardstock.
Cut two strips at 1″ x 3 1/2″ and one strip at 1″ x 4 1/2″ from two different contrasting pieces of DSP. Adhere as shown.
Cut a piece of Polished Pink cardstock at 2 3/4″ square and a piece of Mint Macaron cardstock at 2 5/” square and adhere pieces together.
Cut a 2 1/2″ square of Basic White and stamp the ornament image from the Whimsical Trees stamp set with Tuxedo Black Memento ink two times, with one of the images a bit higher up to the top of the piece. Color with Stampin’ Blends. I used dark and light Smokey Slate, Dark Mint Macaron, Light Polished Pink and Light Misty Moonlight. Adhere to the Mint Macaron square.
Cut a scrap piece of Basic White at 1/2″ x 3″. Stamp greeting with Mint Macaron ink. Adhere with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Here is how I made the card with the tree.

Card base – cut a piece of Blushing Bride 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 the paper with the holly leaves from the Whimsey & Wonder DSP at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere to card front.
Cut a piece of the Blushing Bride and silver snowflake paper at 3″ x 4″.
Cut a piece of Blushing Bride cardstock at 2 5/8″ x 4 1/4″. I embossed this piece with the retired Winter Snow embossing folder. You can substitute the Wintry 3D folder in the current annual catalog.
Adhere the DSP to the card front at an angle and adhere the embossed piece over the DSP straight up and down.
Adhere a Wonderful Snowflake to the left side of the embossed piece .
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 2 1/4″ x 3 1/2″. Stamp the large tree image with Mossy Meadow ink and cut out with the coordinating die from the Christmas Tree dies.
Cut a piece of Mint Macaron cardstock at 2″ x 3 3/4″ and cut out with the die from the Christmas Trees dies. Adhere to stamped tree. Adhere tree to right side of embossed piece, partially overlapping the snowflake.
Stamp greeting with Mossy Meadow ink on scrap piece of Basic White cardstock and cut out with the label die that has the flagged ends from the Tasteful Labels die set. Adhere to card front.

Wishing you a Blessed Christmas!
