Floral Impressions Hello Card

Hello!

Once again, it’s been awhile since I last posted. I’ve been very busy making cards since late July and am sitting on a backlog for posting them. In addition to my monthly in-person classes, I did two pro bono in-person workshops so was busy designing cards and preparing kits for weeks. One of the pro bono workshops I did was at St. Peter’s Apartments in Columbia, PA. I’ve done workshops there in the past, but it was over two years ago since I did the last one. I was happy to be back to help spread some joy to the residents there! I had twelve people in the session, all with varying stamping experience! I was grateful to have one of my experienced customers come along to help me! Since the skill levels were all over the place, I tried to keep the cards somewhat basic, which is always a challenge. Here is the card we made using the Floral Impressions Suite, an online exclusive that was introduced in July.

Measurements

  • Thick Basic White cardstock – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
  • Basic White cardstock – 2 1/8″ x 2 1/8″; scrap piece for greeting
  • Darling Duckling cardstock – 2 1/4″ x 5 1/4″; 2 3/8″ x 2 3/8″
  • Peach Pie cardstock – scrap piece
  • Crushed Curry cardstock – scrap piece
  • Pecan Pie cardstock – scrap piece
  • Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper – 2″ x 5″; 2 3/8″ x 2 1/2″

Here is how I made the card.

  • Fold Thick White Cardstock base in half and crease sharply with bone folder
  • Adhere the larger piece of DSP to the larger piece of Darling Duckling cardstock. Adhere to left side of card front.
  • Adhere the smaller piece of contrasting DSP to card dhere
  • Adhere Basic White square to Darling Duckling square and adhere to front of card.
  • Run the scrap pieces of Peach Pie and Crushed Curry cardstock through die cutting machine using the largest and medium size flowers from the Impressions Abloom die set. There are two coordinating dies for each of the flowers. One cuts an outline only and the other cuts a solid piece. You want to nest both dies together in order to cut the solid flowers.
  • Run scrap piece of Pecan Pie cardstock through die cutting machine with both sizes of the flower centers. Adhere them to the flowers.
  • Adhere the flowers to the Basic White square with Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • Stamp greeting in Garden Green ink on scrap piece of Basic White cardstock. I used the hello greeting from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set. Punch out with a circle punch. Adhere under the large flower.
  • Embellish card. I used Earth Tones embellishments, which are now retired. The colors went beautifully with the DSP!
  • Stamp greeting of your choice on the inside of the card.

Fond of Autumn Bouquet

Hello!

Today I’m featuring another one of the cards we recently made in my Fall Card class last month. This card uses the Fond of Autumn Stamp set and the Autumn Bouquet Dies. I decided to use Merry Merlot for the card base and detailed die cut layer. It is a color I love but don’t get to use often. I think it is a deep, rich color that goes well with many fall colors.

Here is how I made the card.

  • Card base: Cut a piece of Merry Merlot cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 11, score at 5 1/2″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
  • Cut another piece of Merry Merlot cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″. Run through die cutting and embossing machine with the detailed floral die. You will do this twice. First position the die at the top of the piece of cardstock. Once that is done, position the die at the bottom of the cardstock, and reverse the direction of the die. Adhere to card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Stamp full floral image with Memento Black ink on piece of Basic White cardstock cut at 3 1/2″ x 5 1/2″. Color the image with these Stampin’ Blends using both dark and light: Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Granny Apple Green for the leaves; Blackberry Bliss for the large flowers; Cherry Cobbler for the berries; Natural Tones Medium & Medium Light for the acorns. Run through die cutting and embossing machine with the large open floral die.
  • Stamp banner image with Memento Black ink on piece of Basic White cardstock cut at 1″ x 4 1/2″. Stamp the “happy thoughts of you” greeting inside the banner. In order to get the greeting to fit in the curves, because the stamp is photopolymer, you can slightly bend it on your acrylic block. Position greeting to make sure it fits and then ink up the stamp with Merry Merlot ink and stamp the greeting. Run through die cutting and embossing machine.
  • Adhere the floral piece to the card. Adhere the banner over the floral piece.
  • Embellish card with a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Fond of Autumn Split Card

Hello!

Today’s card features the beautiful Fond of Autumn Bundle in the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog and is another one of the cards we made in my recent Fall Cards class. I love to color and I also love the rich fall colors so the Fond of Autumn stamp set was a winner for me! The stamp set and coordinating Autumn Bouquet Dies were cleverly designed so that you can use the entire large image or just a portion of the image, making for lots of possibilities! I also paired the card with the Split Card Textures Dies, which is a nice way to feature the stamp set.

Here is how I made the card.

  • Card base – cut a piece of Soft Succulent 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 one of the green DSP sheets from the Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper pack at 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ and adhere to card base. Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and run through die cutting machine with the grid die from the Split Card Texture Dies. Adhere to card front
  • Stamp large floral image from the Fond of Autumn stamp set with Memento Black Ink on piece of Basic White cardstock cut at 3 1/2″ x 4 1/2″. Cut out with the large sectioned Autumn Bouquet die.
  • Color the leaf and acorn image with Mossy Meadow, Evening Evergreen and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. Color the acorns with Crumb Cake and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends. Color the two smaller leaf and berry pieces with Soft Succulent and Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blends.
  • Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 2 1/4″ square. Run through die cutting machine with the third smallest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. To stamp the greeting, use Evening Evergreen ink and cover the word “wishes” with a Post-it-Note, ink the word “Autumn”, remove Post-it-Note and stamp onto circle. Repeat the process again, this time covering up the word “Autumn” to stamp the word “wishes.”
  • Position the three leaf pieces along the diagonal line on the Texture Card piece. Before adhering, decide where to place the greeting and adhere it first and then adhere the leaf pieces. Embellish the greeting with a Brushed Metallic Dot.
  • Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Stamp two acorns in bottom left corner and one acorn in upper right corner and color with the Stampin’ Blends. Adhere piece to inside of card.

There are just a few days left for you to purchase any of these six die sets that coordinate with existing stamp sets in the annual and holiday mini catalog. If you already own any of the stamp sets you can purchase the dies separately, or if you don’t currently own the stamp sets you can purchase both the stamp sets and dies as bundles and save 10%.

Rustic Harvest Card

Hello!

Today’s card features the Rustic Harvest Suite in the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog. It is a quick and easy card and a nice way to use several different Designer Series Papers. This is one of four cards we made in my Fall Card class last week. I will be posting the rest of the cards in my next few blog posts.

Here is how I made the card.

When I was deciding on a layout for this card, I decided to go back to a box of past sample cards that I keep for inspiration and ended up casing this card. I made it in the fall of 2019 and I used the Come to Gather Designer Series Paper that was in the September 2019-January 2020 Mini Catalog.

Here is how I made the card:

  • Card base – cut a piece of Basic Black cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score a 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
  • Cut a piece of the Mossy Meadow paper from the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper pack at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere to card front.
  • Cut one piece of Basic Black cardstock at 1 7/8″ x 5″ and another at 1 7/8″ x 4 1/2″. Cut two different pieces of DSP, one at 1 3/4″ x 4 7/8″ and one at 1 3/4″ X 4 3/8″ and adhere to the Basic Black strips. Adhere to card front as pictured.
  • Stamp greeting from the Hello Harvest stamp set with Mossy Meadow ink on a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock. Run through die cutting machine with coordinating die from the Rustic Pumpkin Dies.
  • Cut a piece of Cajun Craze cardstock at 2 3/4″ X 3 1/2″ to make the pumpkin. Run through die cutting machine with the two pumpkin die pieces. To make the stem, run a scrap piece of Soft Suede cardstock through the die cutting machine with the stem die.
  • Adhere stem to the smaller DSP strip. Adhere larger pumpkin piece, slightly overlapping the bottom of the stem. Adhere narrow pumpkin piece over the larger pumpkin piece. Adhere greeting over pumpkin with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere to inside of card.

Ringed With Nature Fun Fold Card

Hello!

This is the last day for Sale-A-Bration! Today’s card is another one that features the Ringed With Love Designer Series Paper that is still available as a free gift with a $50 purchase. This card is a Z fun fold that I came across on Lisa Curcio’s blog and YouTube channel where she shows how to make it. I love this fold because it is a great way to show off any Designer Series Paper and while it looks difficult to make, it is actually very easy! This card also uses the Ringed With Nature Bundle that coordinates with the DSP.

Click on the blog link above to go to Lisa Curcio’s post for all of the cutting dimensions and instructions on how to put the card together. Here is how I made my card.

  • Card base – Thick Basic White cardstock 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease sharply with a bone folder.
  • Cut piece of Parakeet Party cardstock at 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″. Cut piece of Ringed With Love DSP at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere to cardstock. Adhere piece to card front.
  • Die cut and emboss one of the larger tree rings from the Tree Rings Hybrid Embossing Folder with a piece of Soft Suede cardstock. Die cut several different leaves with scrap pieces of Crushed Curry, Evening Evergreen and Parakeet Party cardstock. Adhere to tree ring with Mini Glue Dots.
  • Adhere two pieces of a contrasting piece of DSP cut at 4″ x 5 1/4″ to both sides of the inside of the card base.
  • Cut a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the inside Z fold as per Lisa Curcio’s instructions.
  • Cut strip of the tree trunk DSP and follow the instructions for cutting the strips before adding them to the fold.
  • Stamp the acorns from the Ringed With Nature stamp set. First stamp the bottom of the acorns with Poppy Parade ink and then stamp the acorn tops with Soft Suede ink. Stamp the greeting on the smallest panel with Soft Suede ink. Adhere to inside of card as instructed.
  • To finish off the card, adhere the tree ring to the card front with two Stampin’ Dimensionals at the top and two at the bottom, leaving space in the middle of the tree ring. Cut a length of ribbon at 18″ and slide one end through the middle of the tree ring. I used some retired 1/2″ white ribbon from my stash. You can use one or two Mini Glue Dots to adhere the ribbon at the back of the card in order to keep it in place. Tie ribbon into either a bow or a double knot, which is how I tied it.
