Stampin’ Up! Elegantly Said Anniversary

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. Hope you are having a productive week and looking forward to the weekend.

Today’s card is another one we made at my class last week. I haven’t used this paper much and I thought it would make a pretty card for the ladies to make. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Elegantly Said Cling Stamp Set along with the Simply Elegant Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of the Simply Elegant DSP to a Thick Very Vanilla card base.

I adhered the 4 squares of Simply Elegant DSP to the 4 Very Vanilla mats and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Elegantly Said stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the floral image from the Elegantly Said stamp Set in Basic Gray Ink, stamping off 3 times on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched So Sweetly Dies and adhered it to the center of the 4 squares using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Elegantly Said stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the floral image from the Elegantly Said stamp set in Basic Gray Ink, stamping off on scrap paper twice, on either side of the sentiment. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Basic Gray mat and then to the inside of the Thick Very Vanilla card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Elegantly Said stamp set in Basic Gray Ink, stamping off once, on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Simply Elegant 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! Daisy Garden Anniversary

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the weekend and Happy End of July. Hope you have something fun planned. Looks like it’s going to be a beauty here, upper 70’s and sunny. It was beautiful sleeping last night, it was in the low 50’s. I shut off the A/C, opened the windows and turned on my attic fan. I got to fall asleep listening to the crickets, lol.

Today’s card is a quick and easy one that I think we will be making at our class on Tuesday night. Actually today and tomorrow’s card are very similar, you have to let me know which one you like better. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Daisy Garden Cling Stamp Set along with the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper for my card. This DSP is one of the 9 that are on sale until Tuesday for 15% off. Now’s the perfect time to stock up and save.

I started by stamping the Daisy Garden image in Versamark Ink on a panel of In Good Taste DSP. I immediately sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. For a little stability, I adhered the card front to a panel of Bumblebee cardstock using Stampin’ Seal.

I wrapped a piece of the Bumblebee 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon around the panel and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Bumblebee card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a scrap of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Many Messages Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink and cut it out using my Messages Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the Daisy Garden image in Early Espresso Ink, stamping off 3 times on scrap paper, on a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Forever Fern Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Elegantly Said Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink over the daisy image. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Bumblebee card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I stamped part of the Daisy Garden stamp on the front of a Basic White Medium Envelope in Early Espresso Ink, stamping off once. I 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! Elegantly Said Anniversary

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend and a new month. I can’t believe July is just about over

Today I have a card that could be used as either an Anniversary Card or a Wedding Card. I made mine into an Anniversary Card. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Elegantly Said Cling Stamp Set and the Simply Elegant Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of the Simply Elegant Specialty DSP to a Copper Foil mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Very Vanilla card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered another panel of the Simply Elegant Spec. DSP to a Very Vanilla mat using Stampin’ Seal and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Elegantly Said stamp set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with my Copper Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to a Copper Foil mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots, (available Aug 3rd), to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the flourish image from the Elegantly Said stamp set in Versamark Ink on the top corner of a Very Vanilla panel. I immediately sprinkled it with my Copper Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I stamped the sentiment from the Elegantly Said stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the panel. I adhered a strip of the Simply Elegant Spec DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Very Vanilla card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Elegantly Said stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Simply Elegant Specialty 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 Shaded Summer for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have any plans for the weekend yet? I’ll be working all weekend between both jobs. I had requested Sunday off, but I guess they didn’t see it when they made up the schedule.

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! Shaded Summer Cling Stamp Set for my card along with the Summer Shadow Dies (available August 3rd as a Sale-a-bration item).

This is the template for making my card. I started by cutting a panel of Calypso Coral cardstock as in the diagram above.

I adhered 2 panels of the Petal Pink Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series paper to the card front panels using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered 2 more panels of the Subtle DSP to the inside card front panels using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I made the belly band using a strip of Calypso Coral cardstock and wrapped it around the finished card. I adhered Tear & Tape to the ends of the belly band to adhere them together. I cut a panel of Petal Pink cardstock using the largest die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I stamped it with the floral image from the Shaded Summer stamp set in Petal Pink Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Many Happenings Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink and cut it out using the Messages Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the die cut panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals and then adhered it to the belly band using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Champagne Rhinestones to the belly band.

For the inside panel I stamped the 2 floral images from the Shaded Summer stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Elegantly Said Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink over the floral image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Calypso Coral mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to only the bottom portion of the easel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Calypso Coral card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Using the Summer Shadow Dies (Sale-a-bration item available August 3rd). I adhered a panel of Calypso Coral and Shaded Spruce cardstocks to an Adhesive Sheet. I cut the detailed flowers from a panel of Calypso Coral cardstock. I cut the solid flowers from a panel of Petal Pink cardstock. I cut the detailed leaves from a panel of Shaded Spruce cardstock and the solid leaves from a panel of Soft Succulent cardstock. I adhered the detailed flowers and leaves to the solid flowers and leaves using the Adhesive Sheet. I adhered the flowers to the bottom of the inner liner using Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhered the leaves using a Glue Dot. I added a Champagne Rhinestone to the center of the larger flower. I didn’t stamp a sentiment on the inside. I need to write a special message for the recipient of the card.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral images from the Shaded Summer stamp set in Petal Pink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Petal Pink Subtle 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. If you do CASE this card, please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under this 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.
