Stampin’ Up! Brew Some Fun CAS for Fun Fold Friday with Video Tutorial

Good Friday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I’m actually off on Saturday, but will be at work all day Sunday.

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! Brew Some Fun Cling Stamp Set along with the Neutrals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my simple fun fold card today.

I started by embossing a panel of Merry Merlot using the Hello & Thanks Embossing Folder. I then cut a panel of Neutrals DSP from the center of the 5 1/4″ side I cut in 2″. I scored from the center cut line to the 2 corners and folded them out. I adhered the DSP to the Merry Merlot card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhered it to a Crumb Cake card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut the 3rd largest circle from the Layering Circles Dies from a panel of Basic White cardstock. On the circle I stamped the trio of flowers image from the Brew Some Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them in using my Night of Navy and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the sentiment from the Brew Some Fun stamp set using my Merry Merlot and Night of Navy Stampin’ Write Markers and stamped it on the circle die. On the panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the coffee cup and the small bow from the Brew Some Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Crumb Cake and Night of Navy Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the cup using my Paper Snips and cut the bow out using my Warm Wraps Dies. I adhered the bow to the cup using a Glue Dot and the cup to the bottom of the circle using a Stampin’ Dimensional.

I adhered the circle die to a scalloped circle which I cut from a panel of Night of Navy cardstock using the Layering Circle Dies. I adhered the layered dies to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Night of Navy Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Ornate Thanks Photopolymer Stamp Set in Merry Merlot Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Neutrals DSP to the bottom of the panel. I stamped the coffee cup on the bottom of the panel and colored it in using my Crumb Cake and Night of Navy Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat and then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the coffee cup and trio of flowers images from the Brew Some Fun stamp set on the envelope front and colored them in the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Neutrals 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. I hope you will CASE this card and please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under the post. I’d love to see your take on the card.

Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish CAS Card

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the weekend, hope you have something fun planned.

Today’s card is a CAS card we made at our class Tuesday night. I like to start my classes with an easy one and work out way up. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Pattern Party Host Designer Series Paper. This paper is available to anyone placing an order over $150 where you can earn Stampin’ Rewards from Stampin’ Up! You can see this paper and other stamp sets that are Host Exclusive on page 170 & 171 of the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. If you’d like to see if you can get some friends together to place an order to earn this paper, I’d be happy to help you out and put together a Host Code for you. Send me a note to creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com and we can talk about it.

I started by adhering a panel of the Pattern Party Host DSP to a Real Red mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I embossed a panel of Real Red cardstock using the Thanks & Hello Embossing Folder. I adhered the panel of the layered panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue on an angle. I trimmed the excess using my Paper Snips. I wrapped a piece of White Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack around the card front twice and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Basic Black card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a scrap of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I fussy cut the sentiment using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sunny Sentiments Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Pattern Party Host DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Real Red mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Basic Black card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a couple more Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the inside of the card.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Pattern Party Host DSP to the envelope front 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! Ornate Thanks

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I hope you were able to do some fun activities. This was not the weekend I planned at all. Saturday night we spent at the animal hospital with my 13 yr old puppy Jasmine. They had to admit her for the night so they could monitor her. By the time I got home and to sleep it was time to get up for work on Sunday, so I only got maybe 3 hours of sleep. Sunday afternoon Jasmine was able to come home and we just have to watch her for the next couple days, but she seems to be doing much better and is more like herself. She’s just a little more tired than normal, which is to be expected after what she went through.

Today’s card has very little stamping. I let the DSP and Embossing Folder do all the work for me. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Ornate Thanks Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Sweet Symmetry Designer Series Paper and the Thanks & Hello Embossing Folder.

My colors were inspired by TGIF Challenge #319.

I started by adhering a panel of the Sweet Symmetry DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I embossed a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Thanks & Hello Embossing Folder. I adhered the panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue on an angle. I trimmed the excess off using my Paper Snips. I adhered the card front to a Basic Gray card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic Gray cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Ornate Thanks stamp set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with my White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut each end on an angle using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Ornate Thanks stamp set in Night of Navy Ink towards the top of a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Sweet Symmetry DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Basic Gray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Sweet Symmetry DSP to the envelope front 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!!
