Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Book Fold

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend. For many this was a short week, I think we need more of these.

I have a CAS masculine card for you today and I played with some products from the annual catalog. Masculine cards are always a struggle for me, and I try to make them often, so I have them on hand when I need them. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' UP! Loveliest Tree CAS Book Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree Bundle along with the Country Woods Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Wild Fern Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

I played along with The Paper Players Clean-and-Simple Challenge #725.

My design is from TGIF Sketch Challenge #512.

Mask off a square on a panel of Country Woods DSP using sticky note tape. Using a Blending Brush, add Balmy Blue Ink and a little Granny Apple Green Ink on the bottom.

Stampin' UP! Loveliest Tree CAS Book Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the Basic Beige card base together between the 4 1/4″ & 5 1/2″ score lines to make a book fold card. Adhere the 2 panels of Country Woods DSP to the front of the card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' UP! Loveliest Tree CAS Book Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Ink up the tree image from the Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree Cling Stamp Set using Granny Apple Green and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Write Markers. Give the stamp a little huff to reactivate the ink and stamp the image on a panel of Basic White. Cut the image out using the Loveliest Tree Dies. Adhere the tree image to the colored area of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp the sentiment from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. Cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Adhere the sentiment below the tree using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' UP! Loveliest Tree CAS Book Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Beige, stamp the sentiment from the Wild Fern stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. Stamp the leaf image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the panel. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Stampin' UP! Loveliest Tree CAS Book Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Ink up the tree image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set using Granny Apple Green and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Write Markers. Stamp the image on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Country Woods DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any plans n the works. I’ll be working all day today and I’m guessing it’s going to be another slow day because of the weather. We had something different here in NJ happen yesterday. About 10 miles from my house, we had a 4.8 earthquake. It scared the living daylights out of me. There was a loud boom and my whole house shook. I didn’t know what was happening. I live in NJ to avoid those kinds of things. We didn’t have any damage. Later on around dinner time we had a 4.0 aftershock. Once again, my whole house shook. That’s enough now for a lifetime. I have to admit, that scared me almost as much as 911.

I have a sneak peek for you today using some new products from the upcoming 2024-2025 Annual Catalog along with some retiring product. We made this card at our Stamp Camp card class last week. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made today’s card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree Bundle (available May 1st) along with the Stampin’ Up! Hope You Know Cling Stamp Set, Timber 3D Embossing Folder, Online Exclusive Deckled Circles Dies and retiring Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP using the Timber 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Copper Clay mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a NEW Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the tree image from the Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree Cling Stamp Set in Copper Clay Ink. I cut the image out using the Loveliest Tree Dies. From a panel of Copper Clay, I cut the circle using the Deckled Circles Dies. I adhered the die cut tree to the Deckled Circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the sentiment from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Copper Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Deckled Circles Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment form the Hope You Know stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. I stamped the tree image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Basic Beige Ink over the tree. I adhered the Basic Beige panel to a Copper Clay mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP to the envelope flap.

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

*********************************************************************************************************

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

*********************************************************************************************************

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share!

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ x 6″ pieces (or 6″ x 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the NameItem # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!
