Stampin’ Up Friend Like You Inside Out card for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Are you ready for the weekend? I’ll be working both days this weekend again. Saturday at the hardware store and Sunday at the dog bakery. Of course it’s suppose to be a beautiful weekend so I’m sure both places will be crazy busy.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Friend Like You Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Artistry Blooms DSP to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the sentiment from the Friend Like You stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock which I cut using the Tasteful Labels Dies. I stamped the dragonfly image from the Friend Like You stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the side of the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the card front. I tied a small bow using the 1/8″ Night of Navy ribbon from the Playing With Patterns Ribbon Combo Pack and adhered it to the sentiment using a Glue Dot.

For the card base I scored a 9 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ panel of Thick Basic White cardstock at 4 1/4″, 4 3/4″ and 5 1/4″. I folded the card base in half on the 4 3/4″ score line. I folded the card base back on the 4 1/4″ & 5 1/4″ score lines. I adhered the center together using Tear & Tape.

On one side of the inside (which will be the outside), I adhered a panel of Artistry Blooms DSP using Multipurpose Liquid glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from Friend Like You stamp set in Night of Navy Ink in the center of the panel. I stamped the grass image from the Friend Like You stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the dragonfly mage from the Friend Like You stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel on top of the Artistry Blooms DSP using Stampin’ Seal.

On the other side of the inside I adhered another panel of Artistry Blooms DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Friend Like You stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. I stamped the palm tree image from the Friend Like You stamp set on the bottom of the panel using Soft Suede and Granny Apple Green Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel on top of the Artistry Blooms DSP using Stampin’ Seal.

Using my Friendly Silhouette Dies and cut 2 of the floral dies from a panel of Basic White cardstock and one of the cattail dies from a panel of Granny Apple Green cardstock. I colored the cattails in using my Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the floral dies in using my Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Highland Heather, Poppy Parade and Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the cattail die behind one of the floral dies using Glue Dots. I adhered the floral die to one side of the raised cardstock using Multipurpose Liquid glue. I adhered the double die to the back side of the raised cardstock using Multipurpose Liquid Glue making sure it is facing forward. I added a couple Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins to both of the Basic White panels by the sentiments.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the palm trees and dragonflies images from the Friend Like You on the envelope front in Granny Apple Green, Night of Navy and Soft Suede Inks. I adhered a panel of the Artistry Blooms DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my Facebook page Here.

My colors are from Sunday Stamps Challenge #251, Have A Slice.

I adhered a panel of the Butterfly Bijou DSP to a Calypso Coral card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the matted artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped part of the Butterfly Brilliance stamp up one side of a panel of Basic White cardstock in Smoky Slate Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Butterfly Gala stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink in the center of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a So Saffron mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Calypso Coral card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Forever Fern

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and heading towards the weekend. How is your week going?

It’s time for another inspiration challenge for The Card Concept. For the next 2 weeks we have a Luck of The Irish challenge. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used multiple stamp sets for today’s card, but mainly the Stampin’ Up! Forever Fern Bundle and the Stampin’ Up! Daisy Lane Cling Stamp Set. I was inspired by the colors and the bouquet of flowers for my collage card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concept and join us this week to play along with our challenge #150. How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by adhering a panel of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper to a Thick Basic White Card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered another darker panel of In Good Taste DSP to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped multiple fern images from the Stampin’ Up! Forever Fern Cling Stamp Set in Garden Green, Just Jade and Pear Pizzazz Inks. I cut the images out using the Forever Flourishing Dies. I punched 9 daisies using the Medium Daisy Punch and adhered them together in sets of 3 using tiny amounts of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the flower pot from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Succulents Cling Stamp Set and stamped the sentiment from the Daisy Lane stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the flower pot and sentiment out using the Potted Succulents Dies and colored the flower pot in using my Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. Using my Forever Flourishing Dies I cut other fern and leaf images from the Just Jade, Pear Pizzazz, Pretty Peacock, Shaded Spruce and Soft Seafoam panels of cardstock. Using the tiny flower dies from the Wreath Builder Dies I cut out 12 flowers from the panel of So Saffron cardstock. I cut the tiny flowers using the Confetti Flowers Border Punch from the panel of So Saffron cardstock.

I flipped the flower pot upside down and adhered a piece of the 1/4″ Early Espresso Faux Suede Trim with an Antique Slide from the Antique Corners & Slides Embellishments around the pot adhering it in the back with Glue Dots. I adhered the flower pot to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the pieces of fern and flowers to the card front arranging them how I liked using Glue Dots, Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment and small daisy image from the Daisy Lane stamp set in the center of a Basic White panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the daisy centers in using my Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped some of the fern images from the Forever Fern stamp set on the envelope front and adhered a panel of In Good Taste DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Flowering Cactus Friendship Card

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off? Before I get to my card for today, I want to wish my very special fur baby a Happy 13th Birthday. I ordered her a special birthday cupcake from the Hungry Hound (one of my other jobs). She’ll be getting that later tonight after she eats her dinner 😉

This was 2008 when we first got Jasmine. Little girl with big paws.
She used to love laying on the last step watching everything/everyone go by
One of her favorite places to lay during the spring/summer
Her most recent picture in her new bed. She never liked beds till this year

Ok, on to my card for today. I used one of my favorite sets from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog for today’s card the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Cactus Product Medley. I don’t usually purchase the kits, but when I saw this one I just knew I needed it. Here’s my card for today.

My colors are from Fab Friday Challenge #208.

My design is from Just Add Ink Challenge #543.

I also joined in with Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge #358.

I started by cutting 9 rectangles from 2 different panels of the Flowering Cactus Designer Series Paper using my Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhering them to a Mossy Meadow card front using Multipurpose Liquid glue. I adhered the card front to a Mint Macaron card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

In the Flowering Cactus DSP there is a panel that has all of the cactus and flowers to match up with the Flowering Cactus Dies. I cut everything out since I wasn’t sure what I was planning on using . I cut a panel of Vellum using my Stitched Shapes Dies and adhered it to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered one of the die cut cactus to the Vellum using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the Highland Heather cactus flowers to the cactus using Glue Dots.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Cactus Photopolymer Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the cactus using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a double bow using the Calypso Coral Linen Thread, that comes in the Flowering Cactus Product Medley, and adhered it using a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Cactus stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the smallest cactus from the Flowering Cactus stamp set next to the sentiment in Mossy Meadow Ink and the flowers in Calypso Coral Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic white Medium Envelope. I stamped the smallest cactus from the Flowering Cactus stamp set across the bottom front of the envelope in Mossy Meadow and Calypso Coral Inks. I adhered a panel of the Flowering Cactus DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance CAS Note Card

Good rainy Monday morning my stamping friends, Happy March!! How was everyone’s weekend? It was and still is a bit rainy here, most of our snow has disappeared except for a few piles. It’s suppose to be a little warmer here this week so I’m sure it will all be gone before the end of the week.

Tomorrow is the day a lot of you have been waiting for. The new Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Bouquet will be available to order. Don’t forget the DSP’s are while supplies last. For my card today I used the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance Bundle. Here’s my card for today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #474.

My colors are from CAS on Friday Challenge #199.

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Enjoy The Moment Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper card front. I adhered the card front to a panel of Bermuda Bay cardstock (to give a little more stability). I wrapped a piece of 1/2″ White Faux Linen Ribbon from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack around the card front and adhered it in the back using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the card front to a Bermuda Bay card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the butterfly from the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance Cling Stamp in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the butterfly out using the Brilliant Wings Dies and colored the image in using my Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I curved the butterfly wings using my Bone Folder and adhered the butterfly to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the butterfly image from the Butterfly Brilliance stamp in Tuxedo Black Ink on the side of the panel and colored it in using my Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basie White panel to a Calypso Coral mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Bermuda Bay card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped a butterfly from the Butterfly Brilliance stamp in Tuxedo Black Ink on the front or the envelope and colored it in using my Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Butterfly Bijou DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
