Stampin’ Up! Delivering Cheer Fall Birthday

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Does everyone know what today is? It’s the eve of the new July-December 2021 Mini Catalog going live!!! I hope you have your lists ready to go. I’ll be up bright and early tomorrow morning to get my order placed.

Today’s card uses a set from the new catalog. I think it’s one of my favorites. This is also another one of the cards we will be making tomorrow night at my class. One of the ladies asked if we could make something fall with this stamp set. I love when they give me ideas of what they want. Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Delivering Cheer Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate With Flowers Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of the Beauty of The Earth Designer Series Paper to a Mossy Meadow card base using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered a smaller panel of the Beauty of The Earth DSP to a Cajun Craze mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrate With Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the side of the panel. I stamped the bottom image of the girl from the Delivering Cheer stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink next to the sentiment. I stamped the top image on top of the bottom image, lining them up, in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Ivory, Misty Moonlight and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I also using my Bumblebee Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered the artwork to a Cajun Craze mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrate With Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Beauty of The Earth DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cajun Craze mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I adhered a strip of the Beauty of The Earth DSP to the front of a Basic White Medium Envelope and a panel to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card. This set will be available tomorrow, Tuesday August 3rd, when the catalog goes live. Is it on your list? Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Stitched Greenery Celebrate With Flowers

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? We had a gorgeous day here yesterday, but I believe they called for rain for today. I’ll be at work all day again.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Celebrate With Flowers Cling Stamp Set and the new Stitched Greenery Die. Here’s my card for today.

My design is from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #485.

I started by embossing a Just Jade card front using the Stitched Greenery Die.

I thought I’d show you a real closeup of the stitching. Isn’t this just gorgeous!!

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrate With Flowers stamp set on the edge of the strip in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the leaf image from the Celebrate With Flowers stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink up the center of the strip. I colored the leaves in using my Just Jade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the dragonfly image on the stirp in Misty Moonlight Ink. I cut the strip into a banner using my Paper Snips.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the flower image from the Celebrate With Flowers stamp set in Bumblebee Ink. I fussy cut the flowers using my Paper Snips. I stamped the flower centers in Tuxedo Black Ink by the leaf image. I adhered the Banner to the Stitched Greenery card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the flowers to the leaf image using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Just Jade card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrate With Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the smaller leaf image from the Celebrate With Flowers stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored the leaves in using my Just Jade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the dragonfly image on either side of the sentiment in Misty Moonlight Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Just Jade mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Just Jade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small leaf image from the Celebrate With Flowers stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the bottom front of the envelope and the envelope flap. I colored the leaves in using my Just Jade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the dragonfly image around the leaves in Misty Moonlight Ink.

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