Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Birthday

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans in store. I’ll be at work all day today and not sure what I’ll be doing after work yet.

Today’s card someone asked me to make. There’s a little story behind it. She’s giving it to a friend that has 3 cats, Ivy, Maple and Willow. That will explain the designs on the images. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Willow Tree Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of the Metallic & Shimmer Specialty Paper to a Basic White mat. I adhered the layered panel to a Cajun Craze card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Cling Stamp Set in Garden Green Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentiment out using the Sentiment Silhouettes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the maple leaf image form the Soft Seedlings stamp set in Real Red Ink. I stamped the willow leaf image from the Willow Tree stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink. Using the Full Basket Dies, I cut the maple leaf and willow leaves using the cat die. Using the Twigs & Sprigs Embossing Folder & Dies, I cut 2 panels of Garden Green cardstock. I adhered the ivy leaves to a panel of Garden Green cardstock using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut the Garden Green panel using the cat die from the Full Basket Dies. Using the Sentiments Silhouettes Dies, I cut out 4 details candles from a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut 4 solid candles from scraps of Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red cardstock using the Sentiment Silhouettes Dies. I cut 4 flames from a scrap of Daffodil Delight cardstock.

I adhered the solid candles to the back of the detailed candles and the flames to the top of the candles using small amounts of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the candles to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the cats to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Garden Green Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the willow leaf image from the Willow Tree stamp set on the top of the panel in Granny Apple Green Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Garden Green mat then to the inside of the Cajun Craze card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the maple leaf image from the Soft Seedlings stamp set in Real Red Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Metallic & Shimmer Paper to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Basket Thank You with Video Tutorial

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? I had a bit of an exciting week starting off Monday. You’ll see below. Has anyone made any plans for the weekend yet? I’ll be working all day tomorrow and Sunday again.

So, before I get started with my card, last week I missed my live because we went to meet a puppy. It’s been a really sad house here since my Jasmine puppy passed. Unfortunately, the puppy was listed as a female lab/border collie mix and that was wrong. I was going to just wait until spring and this little cutie came to me. Meet Coraline. She’s a 10-week-old mix breed. I just ordered a DNA kit to find out what she is. She was listed as a lab/border collie mix, I think there might be more. I’ll let you know once I find out. She is such a good girl already. I’ve got her house broken, sleeping through the night and walking on a leash. She knows the sit command and touch already. She knows where my card making table is and runs ahead of me down the stairs to curl up while I make my cards.

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 is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Basket Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Basket Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Apple Harvest Cling Stamp Set and the Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Basket Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by coloring a panel of Perfectly Penciled DSP using my Flirty Flamingo and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the panel to a Real Red mat and then to a Basic White Thick card base. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment, the apple, the cat and the butterfly images from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Basket Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Real Red and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut all the images out using my Full Basket Dies.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Basket Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the largest tag die from the Designer Tags Dies from a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut one end of the tag off using my Paper Snips and embossed the tag using the Gingham Embossing Folder. Using my Full Basket Dies, I cut the detailed basket from a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock, the basket bands from Soft Suede cardstock, the leaves from Granny Apple Green Cardstock, the handle from Smoky Slate cardstock and the solid basket, napkin and apples from Real Red cardstock. I adhered the solid red basket behind the detailed basket using Stampin’ Dimensionals and trimmed the excess using my Paper Snips. I adhered the colored apples to the basket using Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the back of the basket. I adhered the basket to the embossed tag. I threaded a piece of Real Red ribbon from the Real Red & Garden Green 3/8″ Ribbon Combo Pack through the tag and tied it off. I adhered the tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Basket Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the cat next to the basket using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the butterfly to the top of the tag and the extra apples to the bottom of the card front. I cut the sentiment using my Stylish Shapes Dies and adhered it to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Basket Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

This next part is much easier to understand if you watch the video or my Instagram Reel. On the I folded the 5 1/8″ x 5 1/4″ panel of Real Red cardstock on the 1″ & 2″ score lines. I folded the 5 3/8″ X 5 1/4″ panel of Real Red cardstock on the 3 1/8″ score line. I adhered the 1″fold to the back of the 3 1/8″ fold using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the folded panel to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Basket Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a colored panel of Perfectly Penciled DSP to the right inside of the card base. On a 2 3/8″ x 5 1/8″ panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the small apple branch from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Granny Apple Green, Real Red and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the panel to the center of the inner liner. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the large apple branch image from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Real Red and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the image using my Paper Snips (the dies for this stamp set will be available Sept 1st). I adhered the cut image to the center panel so that it would overhang. On the 3″ X 5 1/8″ panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment and the small flower image from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the flower using my Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the panel to the left side of the inner liner.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Basket Fun Fold 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the apple image from the Cheerful Basket stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using my Granny Apple Green and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a colored panel of Perfectly Penciled DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Basket

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any plans this weekend? I have the weekend off, YAY! Tonight, I will be attending virtually our Creativity Now Event. All the cards we will be making will be featuring the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Bundle. I’m looking forward to just having fun stamping online with other demonstrators. I’ll be showing the cards we will be making over the next week.

Today’s card is one that we made at our Mystery Stamping this past Tuesday at our Team Stamping Studio. Mystery stamping is always a lot of fun. Our Upline Jaimie give us cardstock and DSP measurements and talks us through putting it together. All of our cards are similar, but different. Here’s what I came up with for my card.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Basket Bundle along with the Tea Boutique 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card.

I started by embossing a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered it to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Tea Boutique DSP to a Sweet Sorbet mat. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment form the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Basket Photopolymer Stamp Set in Sweet Sorbet Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sweet Sorbet mat. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the basket, butterfly, cat and craft supply image from the Cheerful Basket stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Fresh Freesia, Orchid Oasis, Pale Papaya, Parakeet Party, Polished Pink, Smoky Slate, Soft Suede, Starry Sky, Sweet Sorbet and Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut all the images out using my Full Basket Dies. I adhered the images on the sentiment panel the way I wanted them using Glue dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2022-2024 In-Color Matte Decorative Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Cheerful Basket stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the cat image from the Cheerful Basket stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it using my Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sweet Sorbet mat and then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the butterfly and cat images from the Cheerful Basket stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images in using my Daffodil Delight and Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Tea Boutique 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!!
