Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Mosaic Birthday for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday.  How was everyone’s week?  Has anyone had time to go out shopping this week?  I still haven’t had time and with all the crazy drivers out, I’m not sure I want to even go out.  I’m hoping to get to the store today at one point in between watching my little nephews and going to work.

For today’s fun fold this one might be a little tough to explain.  I’m going to do my best and if anyone has any questions, please contact me and I will try to explain a little better.  My niece wanted me to make her father-in-law a birthday card using the Stampin’ Up! Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper.  I made this card, but told her it’s way to feminine to give to him.  Here’s my card.

I started with a panel of Garden Green cardstock and made the following scores on it.  I scored at 3 1/4″ down to 1″ from the bottom, 6″ down to 1″ from the bottom and 5 1/2″ up 1″ from the bottom.  I turned the cardstock in my Paper Trimmer and cut from 3 1/4″ to 8 1/4″, 1″ from the bottom.  I realized after I was finished with the card that I forgot to take a picture to show you how it should look.

I adhered a panel of the Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper to the front of the card using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the smaller of the 2 strips to the front card strip using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I fussy cut 2 of the humming birds out of the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP and adhered them to the card front.  I adhered the bottom one using Glue Dots and the top one using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthdays Cling Stamp Set in Garden Green Ink on a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock.  I cut the sentiment out using the smallest Rectangle Stitched Die and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I fussy cut some yellow roses from the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP and adhered it to the back panel of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and trimmed any extra that was hanging over.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Well Said Cling Stamp Set in the center of a Very Vanilla panel.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the Garden Green card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope.  I adhered a strip of the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP to the envelope front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and a panel to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you enjoyed my card and will give it a try.  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend  Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up Mosaic Mood Bloom and Grow Birthday

Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers.  We’re halfway through the week already.  Yesterday was a vey exciting day, we got to register for OnStatge in November.  I can’t wait to go and meet up with my team members and see what’s new..

For today’s card I didn’t do any stamping, except for the inside.  I really put my fussy cutting to the test with this one.  This was also one of the cards we made at my Stamp Camp last night.  I had the ladies doing a lot of fussy cutting too.  Here’s my card.

I joined in today with Seize The Birthday Challenge #172.  Their Theme is Butterflies.

I also played along with Cardz 4 Galz Challenge #103. Their Theme is ‘WINGS’.

I played along with The Flower Challenge #35.  Here is their theme. My favorite flower is a rose.

I started out by fussy cutting a butterfly, humming bird and rose from the Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper using my Paper Snips.   I cut the larges circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies in Terracotta Tile cardstock.  I adhered the fussy cut rose to the circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the stitched circle to a the panel of Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue hanging off the right edge a bit.  I cut the circle even with the DSP.  I adhered the DSP to a Terracotta Tile mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the humming bird and butterfly to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals having them both touch the rose.

I cut the ‘birthday wishes’ sentiment out of Shimmery White cardstock using the Well Written Dies.  I adhered the sentiment to the card front using my Fine Tip Glue Pen.  I adhered the card front to a Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Bloom & Grow Photopolymer Stamp Set in Terracotta Tile Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the rose image from the Bloom & Grow stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored only part of it in using my Mint Macaron and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the rose image from the Bloom & Grow stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink on the front corner of the envelope.  I adhered a piece of the Mosaic Mood 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 Woven Heirlooms Laser-Cut Thinking of You

Good Thursday morning my fellow stampers.  How is everyone’s week going?  We’re around the bend to the weekend now, hope you are starting to make some fun plans.  I’m on my way to the beach for the day.  It’s suppose to be beautiful today, hopefully the sand won’t be blistering hot that we can’t even walk on it.  The beach is my ‘Happy Place’ where I can sit back and relax.  It’s one of the few places that I can actually relax just listening to the waves and seagulls.  I also get inspiration there walking along the water and searching for shells and sea glass.

So onto today’s card.  For those of you that know me, you know that I do not like fussy cutting.  It’s just something I am not good at.  I am determined to conquer this fussy cutting problem.  I did a lot of fussy cutting for my card today, right down to the tiny bee on the sentiment strip.   Here’s my card.

I used the Bird Ballad Laser-Cut Cards & Tin for my card base today and the Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper for all my artwork.  These cards are so delicate and beautiful.  I adhered a panel of Garden Green cardstock behind the laser cut panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue to make the laser-cutting stand out more.

I cut the largest stitched circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies out of Terracotta Tile cardstock.  I adhered the flowers that I had fussy cut from the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP to the stitched circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the circle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I adhered the butterfly that I fussy cut from the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Woven Heirlooms Cling Stamp Set in Soft Suede In on a strip of Very Vanilla cardstock.  I sponged the edges of the strip with my Garden Green Ink to soften them a little.  I adhered the bee I fussy cut from the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP to the corner of the sentiment strip with a tiny piece of a
Stampin’ Dimensional.  I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals and a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Woven Heirlooms stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock.  I stamped the bottom with the grudge image from the Woven Heirloom stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Terracotta Tile mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Bird Ballad Laser-Cut card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the bottom front of the envelope that comes with the Bird Ballad Laser-Cut cards with the grudge image from the Woven Heirlooms stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink.  I adhered a panel of the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and will give it a try.

Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up Well Written Mosaic Mood Birthday Card

Good Monday morning my fellow stampers.  How was everyone’s weekend?  Did anyone do anything fun?  I spent both days at work, UGH!!  I don’t mind the end of the month work during the winter, but summertime is tough to be inside.

For today’s card I didn’t do any stamping at all on the card front.  My upline has been doing daily challenges with us and yesterday’s was to make a card using our least favorite color.  I am NOT a fan of yellows, most specifically Crushed Curry.  It’s fine for fall leaves, but that is all in my books.  I was actually surprised at how pleased I was with how my card came out using the Crushed Curry.  Here’s my card I came up with.

My design was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #394.  Here is their sketch.

I started with a panel of the Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper and adhered it to a Soft Suede card base using Multipurpose Glue.  I adhered a smaller panel of the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP to a Soft Suede Mat using Snail and adhered it to the card front using Stampn’ Dimensionals.

I cut the Happy Birthday out of a piece of Copper Foil paper using the Well Written Dies and adhered it to the matted strip on the card front using my Fine Tip Glue Pen.

From yet another piece of the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP I fussy cut one of the Crushed Curry humming birds using my Paper Snips.  I adhered the humming bird to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I did do a little stamping.  I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up Itty Bitty Birthdays Clings Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock.  I stamped the strip on the bottom of the Very Vanilla panel from the Stampin’ Up Woven Heirlooms Cling Stamp Set in Crushed Curry Ink stamping off once.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the Soft Suede card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card off I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope.  I adhered a thin strip of the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP to the front of the envelope and a panel 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 Woven Heirlooms Sympathy Card

Good Thursday morning my fellow stampers.  How is everyone doing today?

For today I have a really quick and easy card for you that showcases one of the new Designer Series Papers that just came out in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog.  Take a look.

I started with a panel of Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper and adhered it to a Terracotta Tile card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Woven Heirlooms Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink along the bottom section of the card base..

It always amazes me how one small panel of DSP can make such a beautiful card.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Woven Heirlooms stamp set in Early Espresso Ink in the center of a Very Vanilla panel.  I stamped the small filigree image from the Woven Heirlooms stamp set in the top two corners in Terracotta Tile Ink.  I stamped the border image from the Woven Heirlooms stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink along the bottom of the Very Vanilla panel.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the Terracotta Tile card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope.  I stamped the border image from the Woven Heirlooms stamp set along the bottom front of the envelope in Terracotta Tile Ink.  I adhered a panel of the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.  There you have it.  With a little DSP you can make the most beautiful cards ever.  You don’t need to add embellishments or anything.

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