Stampin’ Up! Vintage Christmas

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. I hope everyone’s week is going well. We’re halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend.

Last night out we had our team meeting. My upline Jaimie asked me if I wanted to do the Mystery Stamping. I thought it would be a lot of fun so of course I said yes. I love cards with layers, so I picked one of my favorite designs. This is my original card that the design came from. I stamped along with everyone, and I’ll post that card over the weekend. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Vintage Christmas 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Vintage Christmas Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper for my card.

Stampin' Up! Vintage Christmas 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Sweetest Christmas DSP to a Garden Green card base. I adhered a smaller panel of Sweetest Christmas DSP to a Garden Green mat. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Pool Party cardstock across the bottom of the layered dsp panel on the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Vintage Christmas 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the flower image from the Vintage Christmas stamp set in Pool Party Ink. I stamped the flower center and pinecone image from the Vintage Christmas stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink over the flower image. I stamped the leaf image from the Vintage Christmas stamp set in Garden Green Ink above the flower image.

Stampin' Up! Vintage Christmas 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Vintage Christmas stamp set in Real Red Ink across from the flower image on the Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Garden Green mat. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Festive Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Vintage Christmas 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Vintage Christmas stamp set in Real Red Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the floral image below the sentiment the same as I did for the card front. I stamped the bottle image from the Vintage Christmas stamp set below the floral image in Sahara Sand Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Real Red mat then to the inside of the Garden Green card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Vintage Christmas stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Sweetest Christmas DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Gathered Wheat 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the small wheat image from the Stampin’ Up! Gathered Wheat Cling Stamp Set in Sahara Sand Ink on a Very Vanilla card front. I cut the bottom of the panel using the Basic Borders Dies. I embossed the panel using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.

I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the wheat image and tied a knot. I adhered the wheat to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Gathered Wheat 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut 3 of the wheat dies from a panel of Distressed Gold Paper and adhered them under the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a gold Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dot to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock. I stamped the small wheat image from the Gathered Wheat stamp set on either side of the sentiment in Sahara Sand Ink. I cut the border die from the Wheat Dies from a strip of Very Vanilla cardstock. I adhered the border to the bottom of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Very Vanilla mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you are all planning something fun. We’re actually getting autumn weather here. I’ve started to see the leaves turning which I wasn’t sure if it was going to happen since summer didn’t want to leave us and it was so dry. I’ll be at work all day today, but have tomorrow off, YAY!!!

Today’s card is one that I on World Card Making Day last Saturday. This is one of the designs from Stampin’ Up!’s event and I added my own little twist. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths Bundle for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by using my Water Painters and added Old Olive Ink to the 2 panels of Shimmer White cardstock. Using my Water Painter again, I added Flirty Flamingo Ink to the smaller panel of Shimmer White. I set them aside to dry. On the panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths Photopolymer Stamp Set 5 times in a circle in Old Olive Ink.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock using the Gingham Embossing Folder. I adhered it to the Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the stamped Basic White panel to the card bae using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Country Wreaths Dies, I cut the 2 detailed wreaths from the panels of Shimmer White paper. I cut the detailed bow from the small panel of Shimmer White paper. I adhered the detailed wreaths together using Glue Dots. I adhered the layered wreaths to the stamped Basic White panel using Glue Dots. I adhered the bow using a Stampin’ Dimensional. I stamped the sentiment from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set on a strip of Basic White cardstock in Crumb Cake Ink. I cut the end on an angle using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to the wreath and bow.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the wreath image from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Old Olive Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the sentiment from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink in the center of the wreath. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Old Olive mat then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Old Olive Ink around the envelope front and flap.

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have any plans yet for the weekend? I’ll be at work tomorrow, but I have Sunday off so I can attend our Zoom monthly meeting.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the 2 panels of Snowflake Vellum Paper to the Starry Sky mats using a small amount of Stampin’ Seal in the center where the sentiment was going to go and the side where the ribbon was going. I also added a few Glue Dots behind the snowflake images on the Vellum Paper. I adhered the layered panels to the Orchid Oasis card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Orchid Oasis 1/8″ Metallic Woven Ribbon around the binder end and tied a bow.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the snowflakes by the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut a couple of the small snowflakes out from a panel of Silver Foil Paper. I adhered the silver foil snowflake using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic Fall Hello

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend. I hope everyone’s week is going well.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo is Colors of Fall. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic Fall 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic Bundle, Stampin’ Up! Perched In A Tree Bundle and Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set for my Clean and Simple card today.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #181.  How are you inspired by this photo?

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic Fall 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set on the bottom of a Basic White card front. I embossed the panel using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder.

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic Fall 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock, I stamped the branch image from the Perched In A Tree stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I cut the image our using the Aspen Tree Dies. I adhered the branch to the top of the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped leaf image from the Season of Chic stamp set in Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red Inks. I stamped the outline image full strength and the fill image in the same color stamped off once. I cut the leaves out using the Chic Dies.

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic Fall 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie leaves to the branch using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Blackberry Bliss and Real Red leaves using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic Fall 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Season of Chic stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on a Basic White panel. Using the Chic Dies, I cut 2 of each of the detailed leaves from Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry, Real Red and Pumpkin Pie cardstock. I adhered the die cut leaves to the top of the panel. I trimmed them even with the panel using my Paper Snips. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crumb Cake mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic Fall 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf images from the Season of Chic stamp set on the envelope front and flap in Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red Inks.

Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose Birthday

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It was very rainy here both Saturday and Sunday and even a little chilly Sunday. A real Autumn Day.

Today’s card is one that they demonstrated on the Stampin’ Up! World Card Making Day event on Saturday. I thought I’d make a similar one with my own twists. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! cottage Rose Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose Bundle for my card today.

Stampin' Up! cottage Rose Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the large rose image from the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the image using the Cottage Flowers Dies. I colored the image using Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! cottage Rose Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the large leaf image from the Cottage Rose stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink. I adhered the colored image using Stampin’ Dimensionals over the stamped leaves images. From a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock, I cut the 2 flower dies and the leaf die from the Cottage Flowers Dies. I adhered the die cut pieces under the flower using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! cottage Rose Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Cottage Rose stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on a panel of So Saffron cardstock. I cut the ends using my Paper Snips on an angle. I adhered the sentiment to the rose image using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I colored a few Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels using the Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Marker and adhered them to the card front. I adhered the card front to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! cottage Rose Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Cottage Rose stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the large rose image from the Cottage Rose stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored it using my Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a So Saffron mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! cottage Rose Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Cottage Rose stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on the envelope front and flap.

Stampin’ Up Cottage Wreaths Fun Fold Video Tutorial

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. I hope you were able to catch all or some of our Facebook Live videos yesterday. I was able to catch all of them and I thought they were great. A lot of great ideas. If you joined our World Card Making Day Facebook page, the videos will be up until Facebook decides that we can’t keep them, so you can go back and watch them over and over. If you haven’t joined yet, you can still join. We are going to allow people in for a few more days.

Today’s card is the one I made on the Facebook Live yesterday. If you caught me live or watched the replay, thank you. If you want to watch and stamp along, the measurements are listed below. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreath Bundle and the Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Here is the template as promised for cutting the card base.

I started by cutting and folding the card base as in the image above. I embossed a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Brick and Mortar 3D Embossing Folder. Using my Blending Brush, I added some Gray Granite Ink lightly to the embossed panel. I adhered the embossed panel to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered 2 panels of Boughs of Holly DSP to either side of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths Photopolymer Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom portion of the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For the wreath I used the Baby Wipe Technique. I folded a baby wipe in quarters. Using my Cherry Cobbler, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Rich Razzleberry Ink Refills, I added drops of ink on the baby wipe. I inked up the wreath image from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set from the baby wipe and stamped a Basic White panel. I cut the wreath out using the Country Wreaths Dies. I adhered the wreath to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a multi loop bow using Linen Thread and added it to the wreath using a Glue Dot. I added some of the Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels to the wreath. I added a couple Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the wreath image from the Cottage Wreath stamp set on a Basic White panel, using the ink from the baby wipe, stamping it off once on scrap paper. I stamped the sentiment from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Gray Granite Ink inside the wreath. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Gray Granite mat then to the inside of the Gray Granite card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the wreath image from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set on the bottom of the envelope front. I stamped the sentiment from the Cottage Wreaths stamps et in Gray Granite Ink inside the wreath. I adhered a panel of Boughs of Holly 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. I hope you will CASE this card and please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under my post. I’d love to see your take on the card. 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.

You can also view the video on my YouTube channel Here. If you watch this on my YouTube channel, please remember to subscribe so that you will get notified when a new video goes live. I’m hoping to start doing YouTube lives soon, thanks to all that have subscribed. Happy Stamping!!
