Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Wishes Sparkle

Posted on October 31, 2020 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends Happy Halloween!!! Hope you have some fun activities planned for today. We only usually get 5 Trick or Treaters, We live on a dead end and we’re the last street before the highway, I guess the kids are just too tired by the time they get our way. It’s the last day of the month, so that means I have to work in the office today. The good thing is I get to go in when I want and leave as soon as I’m done.

Today’s card I made Wednesday on my Facebook Live Video. If you were able to join me live or you watched the replay, thank you very much. If you’d like to view my video either on Facebook or YouTube, the links are below. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Wishes Bundle. Did you know when you buy the bundle you save 10%? It’s a great way to buy the stamp set and the dies. I also used the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper which is on sale for 15% off. Today is the last day to take advantage of this great offer.

I started by adhering a panel of the Snowflake Splendor DSP to a Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Night of Navy cardstock using the snowflake frame die from the So Many Snowflakes Dies.

I cut a panel of Whisper White Cardstock using the Stitched Nested Dies. I placed the Whisper White panel under the Night of Navy frame and stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the snowflake frame to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using my So Many Snowflakes Dies I cut 2 of the smallest detailed snowflakes and 1 of the larger detailed snowflakes from a panel of Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper. I cut 1 of the medium snowflakes from a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I adhered the Whisper White medium snowflake to the larger Glimmer snowflake using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then then one of the small Glimmer snowflakes to the top of the Whisper White snowflake. If you watched my video you will see that I did have a bit of a problem adhering the Whisper White to the Glimmer paper. I was finally able to get it to stick, it just took a little longer than I expected. I adhered the layered snowflake to the top of the frame using a Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the other small Glimmer snowflake to the bottom snowflake on the frame using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set in Night of Navy Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the larger cluster of snowflake image from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on either side of the sentiment, stamping off twice to get a lighter image. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the snowflake cluster image from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set in Night of Navy Ink, stamping off twice, across the bottom of the envelope front.

I adhered a panel of the Snowflake Splendor DSP to the envelope flap.

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

You can also view the video on my YouTube channel Here. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on September 11, 2020 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Is anyone doing anything this weekend? I’m working at the dog bakery again today. The owner asked me a couple weeks ago if I could fill in yesterday and today. I haven’t worked there since the whole pandemic started. Her business really took a hit and it’s still trying to work it’s way back up.

For today I made a corner fold card and made it into a Christmas card. Here’s my card for today.

I started by scoring and folding my card base.

I scored the card base at 5 1/2″ then move it over to 4 1/4″ and made a small pencil mark. I scored from the pencil mark to the opposite corner.

I folded the corner down to like the pictures above.

I adhered a strip of the Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper to the left side of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a Whisper White panel in Balmy Blue Ink, I stamped the large poinsettia from the Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals Photopolymer Stamp Set twice, the medium one once and the smaller one once. I stamped the large poinsettia a 3rd time in Old Olive Ink. On the Balmy Blue flowers, I went around the tops of the flowers and the veins with my Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Marker. I used my Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter Marker to move the color around to give it just a light tint of the blue. I colored the Old Olive flower in using my Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut all the images out using my Poinsettia Dies and cut one of the extra small flower. I went over the extra small flower with my Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Marker and then used my Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter Marker to just give it a hint of color. I adhered the Balmy Blue flowers together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue just in the centers. I cut the Old Olive flower leaves apart and adhered them to the back of the flower using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a few of the foliage pieces out from my Poinsettia Dies from a Silver Foil Sheet and Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper. I adhered them to the back of the flower using Glue Dots.

I cut a 4″ X 4″ panel of Whisper White panel in half diagonally and embossed one of the panels using my Winter Snow Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to the folded card front panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the poinsettia to the folded panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Beaded Pearl to the flower center using a Glue Dot. On a strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I adhered a panel of Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the other half of the 4″ X 4″ panel and adhered it to the inside of the Night of Navy card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the poinsettia from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set on the envelope front in Balmy Blue Ink. I adhered a panel of Poinsettia Place 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!!

So what sets our machines apart from the rest? Here are some of our favorite features:

Durable machines with high-quality results. The solid steel construction frame and rubber feet that securely grip the work surface produce crisp, clean, precise cutting and beautifully detailed embossing.
Easy to use. The machines and tools are designed for an intuitive die-cutting and embossing experience. For example, all plates are labeled with a number and are color coded for easy reference and use when building your sandwich. And just like the name suggests, our Magnetic Cutting Plates have fully-magnetic surfaces to make it easy to securely position your dies and keep them in place.
Simple to store. The platforms on both machines fold for space-saving storage and they look pretty too–the sleek, clean design suits any crafting space.
Portable. You can use both machines at home or on the go with their folding platforms and ergonomic carrying handles.
