We Create Blog Hop - April Showers

 

The theme for this month's We Create Blog Hop is April Showers! We have all heard the saying "April showers bring May flowers" so I decided to share this card that I made as one of my swaps for OnStage in Houston last month. It showcases the Online Exclusives Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper. I love, love this DSP!! 

The Designer Series Paper is bright & fun and full of gorgeous floral images. The sheet of paper that I used works so well with this pieced card panel design. It's a simple card but I love the way it turned out. I added a sprinkling of the Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins amongst the floral images in the DSP and also on the embossed layer. 

I used the So Sincere stamp set for my sentiment. It has a great selection and beautiful fonts. It really has become one of my go to sets. 

Measurements:

•  Berry Burst  5-1/2" x 8-1/2", folded in half (card base)
•  Petal Pink 4-1/4" x 5-1/2", embossed
•  Designer Series Paper Layer 1-1/2" x 5-1/4"
•  Highland Heather Cardstock Layer  3" x 5-1/2" embossed
•  Designer Series Paper floral print 3" x 3-1/2" (then cut into 3 - 1" x 3-1/2" strips)
•  Basic White Cardstock 1-1/4" x 2-1/2" for die-cutting sentiment label
•  Basic White Cardstock  4" x 5-1/4"  for interior layer

We Create Blog Hop - March To A Different Beat

 

It's that time again for the We Create Blog Hop and the theme this month is March To A Different Beat!  I decided to play around with one of our new additions to the Kits Collection called Rock Legend.  The kit contains everything needed to make 8 cards, 4 each of 2 fun, musical designs. Perfect for that musician in your life! 

Cute, right? But wait....I realized I had some of the new Rock & Roll Designer Series Paper that would go perfectly with this kit. So I decided to try the same card layout but adding an easy fun fold with the Designer Series Paper! Jazz it up just a little bit but still keeping it really simple!

The fun fold card base is a 5-1/2" x 12 inch piece of Designer Series Paper scored at 1-3/4", 4-3/4" and 7-3/4" and folded back and forth on itself with the small 1-3/4" layer secured down for the card front. You can see the top layer with the decor elements actually hangs over a little bit to give it some interest, but covers up the inside surprise where I added the fussy cut guitars from a scrap of the Designer Series Paper. I really thought they turned out nice. The first card with the guitar I added some layers of Real Red and Coastal Cabana cardstock and the second card with the giant pick and drum sticks I cut up one of the original card bases for my extra layers.

Measurements for guitar card:

• Rock & Roll DSP - 5-1/2" x 12", scored at 1-3/4", 4-3/4" & 7-3/4" 
• Real Red Cardstock 3-3/4" x 5" (card front)
• Coastal Cabana Cardstock 4" x 5-1/4" (interior layer)
• Basic White Cardstock 3-3/4" x 5" (interior layer)

Measurements for drumsticks card:

• Rock & Roll DSP - 5-1/2" x 12", scored at 1-3/4", 4-3/4" & 7-3/4" 
• Crushed Curry card base front cut down to 3-3/4" x 5" (card front)
• Real Red Cardstock 4" x 5-1/4" (interior layer)
• Basic White Cardstock 3-3/4" x 5" (interior layer)

We Create Blog Hop - Sweet Deals

It's that time again for the We Create Blog Hop and the theme this month is Sweet Deals!  I wanted to share one of the adorably SWEET new bundles from the Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalog (January - April 2024).  

I've been having so much fun playing around with the Ice Cream Swirl bundle!! I LOVE ice cream!! It is my favorite dessert so I just had to have this cute set! I paired it with the Lighter Than Air Designer Series Paper. The colors are really great and I thought the patterns worked well with this card layout. 

For this card I started with a Pool Party card base and layered a piece of the dot print DSP on top. I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock with the crosshatch 3D Embossing Folder and adhered that to a panel of Lemon Lolly cardstock and then placed that on my card front a little off center towards the left side. The cone was cut/embossed out of the Crumb Cake cardstock and adhered to the card with adhesive. The swirl was cut out of Bubble Bath cardstock and Bubble Bath shimmer paper, layered together with dabs of Liquid Glue and then adhered to the top of the cone with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

I used the smallest banner die from the Nested Essentials dies and cut one from the Pool Party cardstock. I heat embossed the sentiment on the banner and added that to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I finished off the front with a Lemon Lolly bow and some of the Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots. 

I dressed up the inside a little bit. Just nice and simple! 

Measurements:

•  Pool Party  4" x 11", folded in half (card base)
•  Lighter Than Air DSP 4-1/4" x 5-1/2"
•  Lemon Lolly Cardstock 3-1/8" x 5-1/2"
•  Basic White Cardstock  3" x 5-1/2" embossed
•  Bubble Bath Cardstock 3" x 3-1/2" for die-cutting ice cream solid
•  Bubble Bath Shimmer Paper 3" x 3-1/2" for die-cutting ice cream swirl
•  Crumb Cake Cardstock 2-1/2" x 3-1/4" for die-cutting/embossing ice cream cone
•  Pool Party Cardstock 1-1/2" x 1-3/4" for die-cutting sentiment banner
•  Basic White Cardstock  4" x 5-1/4"  for interior layer
•  Lighter Than Air DSP 1" x 4" for interior layer

We Create Blog Hop - New Year, New Look

Happy New Year!!

It's the beginning of a new year and we are just days away from the launch of a NEW Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalog (January - April 2024). Along with that comes Sale-A-Bration! So many fun, fresh products to get us started in 2024! I'm so excited to be part of the We Create Blog Hop and to share with you a card I created using some of the new Stampin’ Up! products!

I have really enjoyed playing with the Softly Sophisticated Bundle from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. It is a Level 2 product (free with a $100 purchase) and I absolutely love it! It includes both a stamp set and embossing folder. The embossing folder is GORGEOUS!

For this card I started with a Garden Green card base. I embossed a piece of Vellum cardstock with the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder and adhered that to the card front. I adhered two different patterns of the new Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper to the card front (which is also new and included in the SAB offerings). 

I wrapped a length of Linen Thread around a piece of Garden Green cardstock and tied a bow. This layer is then adhered across the center of the card front. 

The sweet sentiment is from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set and it is stamped in Calypso Coral ink on an oval label from the He's All That die set. I adhered the oval to a Calypso Coral Banner and then used Stampin' Dimensionals to place that over the Linen Thread. 

I then just added some of the gold adhesive backed sequins! This was really a quick and simple card to put together. 

Measurements:

•  Garden Green Cardstock  4" x 11", folded in half (card base)
•  Vellum Cardstock  4" x 5-1/4" embossed
•  Flight & Airy DSP (Sale-A-Bration) Pecan Pie print 3" x 4-1/4" 
•  Flight & Airy DSP (Sale-A-Bration) Floral print 3-1/2" x 4-3/4"
•  Garden Green Cardstock 1-1/4" x 4" 
•  Calypso Coral Cardstock 1-1/4" x 3-1/2" for die cut banner
•  Basic White Cardstock  1-1/2" x 2"  for sentiment label

Stampin' Supplies: Softly Sophisticated Bundle (SAB 2024), Flight & Airy DSP (SAB 2024), Garden Green, Calypso Coral and Basic White Cardstock, Vellum Cardstock, Calypso Coral Ink, Stylish Shapes and He's All That Dies, Linen Thread and Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins. 

Hope you enjoyed my project...

Just My Type and Masterfully Made

I've got another cute card using the Just My Type stamp set and paired with the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper.  It's quick and simple and I even have a video to walk you through it.

I started with a Pretty Peacock card base. I adhered the Masterfully Made DSP to the Berry Burst cardstock and then wrapped a 20 inch length of Glittered Organdy ribbon around the layer and tied a bow on the left side. This layer is then attached to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. You will need to stamp your images on the Basic White cardstock in Pretty Peacock, Berry Burst and Memento ink and then fussy cut them out. I adhered the typewriter with Stampin' Dimensionals and the flowers with glue dots. I added some of the Fresh Freesia Tinsel Gems to the flower centers. The inside of the card just has some torn paper layered along the bottom edge of the Basic White inside layer and a stamped flower. 

Measurements:

•  Pretty Peacock Cardstock  4" x 11", folded in half
•  Berry Burst Cardstock  3-7/8" x 5-1/8"
•  Masterfully Made DSP  3-3/4" x 5" 
•  Basic White Cardstock  4-1/4" x 5-1/2"  for stamping typewriter and flowers 
•  Basic White Cardstock 4" x 5-1/4" for inside of card
•  Berry Burst Cardstock  1" x 4" strip for inside of card
•  Masterfully Made DSP 1" x 4" strip for inside of card
•  Basic White Cardstock  4-1/4" x 5-1/2"  for stamping typewriter and plant
•  Glittered Organdy Ribbon
•  Tinsel Gems Three-Pack

Just My Type

One of the first stamp sets to jump out at me from the new Annual Catalog was Just My Type. I love the fun bold typewriter and all of the other cute little images that you can use to build your scene. The sentiments are adorable too! 

I used this set to design my May team swap card and this is what I came up with! 

I started with a Berry Burst card base and then added a little bit of Azure Afternoon behind my Basic White embossed layer. The strip of Black & White DSP comes from the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper Pack. There are no dies that coordinate with this stamp set so you do need to fussy cut the images but they are quick to do with your snips! I finished it off with some of the Berry Burst gems from the Tinsel Gems 4-pack and some Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon. I can't wait to create some more cute cards with this absolutely adorable stamp set!!!

Measurements:

•  - Berry Burst Cardstock  4" x 11", folded in half
•  - Azure Afternoon Cardstock  4-1/8" x 5-3/8"
•  - Basic White Cardstock  4" x 5-1/4", embossed with the cross-hatch embossing folder
•  - Black & White pattern DSP  2" x 4-1/4" from Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper Pack
•  - Lemon Lolly Cardstock  3-1/4" x 3-1/4" for Stitched Circle (largest circle)
•  - Berry Burst Cardstock  1" x 1" for heart from Give It A Whirl Dies
•  - Basic White Cardstock  4-1/4" x 5-1/2"  for stamping typewriter and plant
