Metallic Stitched ribbon - about 8"

Instructions: 
  1. Emboss the Bumblebee layer with the Parisian Flourish folder.  Adhere to center of card base.
  2. Counting from the smallest stitched rectangle die, use the 5th smallest one to cut a frame into one layer of designer paper.  Cut the other designer paper layer with the 6th smallest one.
  3. Adhere the frame with the smallest opening to the card front.
  4. Stamp the greeting onto the 2¼ x 3¾ Basic White layer with Highland Heather ink and cut with the Stitched So Sweetly dies.  Adhere to center of frame with Stampin' Dimensionals.
  5. Tie a bow in the ribbon and add to label with mini glue dots.
  6. Add 3 sequins from the Artistry Blooms Sequins to the top of the label.
  7. From the 4¼ x 3 piece of Basic White, punch one medium daisy, one daisy, 1 ½ circle and two ¾ circle.
  8. Cut both daisy punches in quarters, so that you have 4 pairs of 2 petals.  Adhere the larger ears to the back of the ¾ circles and the smaller ears to the back of the ½ circle.  Tuck one larger bunny and the small bunny under the label on the card front.
  9. For the inside, adhere the 3½ x 4¾ Basic White to the center.

Art Gallery with Rococo Rose


Hello Stamping Friends.  Welcome back to my blog.  My share for you today includes a color theme with Rococo Rose and Gorgeous Grape.  You may not know this, but on May 3rd Rococo Rose will be retired.  If there are any of those products that you wish to have, I would get them now, as they will sell out quick once they are retired. The stamp set I am using today is Art Gallery and I just love these flowers.  What's even better is that you can get the matching dies as well.  When you buy the stamp set along with the dies you save 10%.  If you are reading this on March 17, 2021 then any purchase of a minimum of $50 will get free shipping from Stampin' UP!  Hurry tho, as this is just a 24 hour sale.

Measurements: 

Rococo Rose- 4¼ x 11 scored at 5½ for the card base
Fine Art Floral Designer Paper - 2 pieces that are 4 x 5¼, 2¼ x 3-9/16 cut with the Rectangle Stitched dies
Gorgeous Grape - 2½ x 3-7/8
Basic White - 4 x 3 & 3½ x 4¾
Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate - 2¼ x 4¼

Instructions: 
  1. Adhere 1 piece of the 4 x 5¼ pieces of designer paper to the card base and the other to the inside of the card.
  2. Adhere the Gorgeous Grape layer to the center of the card front.
  3. On the 4 x 3 Basic White stamp the flower, stem and greeting.  The bold image of the flower is stamped with Rococo Rose, the line image is stamped with Gorgeous Grape.  The stem is stamped with Garden Green and the greeting is stamped with Rococo Rose.  Use the coordinating dies to cut out all of the stamped images.
  4. Remove the protective layer off of the silver side of the Acetate.  Adhere across the center of the card front putting adhesive only in the middle. 
  5. Adhere the Stitched Rectangle designer paper layer to center of card front.
  6. Adhere the flower and stem with stampin' dimensionals.
  7. Adhere the greeting across the stem.
  8. Randomly scatter the Metallic Pearls onto the card front.  I put 3 in the middle of the flower and then scattered a few more.
  9. On the inside layer (3½ x 4¾ Basic White) stamp the flower and stem the same as the card front.
  10. Stamp the same flower and stem onto the envelope.

A Little Lace


Hello stamping friends. Welcome to my blog.  My share today started with a color challenge of Poppy Parade, Pool Party and Crumb Cake.  These are not colors I normally use, but I am pleased with the outcome.  The stamp set I used is A Little Lace, which is an older set, that had never been inked up.

Measurements: 
Crumb Cake - 4¼ x 11 scored at 5½, 4 x 5¼ cut with the Stitched Lace die
Pool Party - 2 pieces that are 4 x 5¼ cut with 2 of the Stitched Rectangle dies to make a frame.  The outside finished size is 3-13/16 x 5-1/8 and the frame is about 7/16 wide.
Poppy Parade - 2½ x 4¾ cut with the Stitched Nested Labels die
Basic White - 2¼ x 4¼ for stamping and 3¼ x 4¾ for the inside
Playing With Patterns ribbon - 12"

Instructions: 
  1. Adhere the Crumb Cake layer to the card base.  I used a sponge and liquid glue along with my silicone mat to add the adhesive, but you could certainly use the adhesive sheets as well.
  2. Adhere the Pool Party frame to the card front with Stampin' Mini Dimensionals.
  3. Stamp the large floral image onto the 2¼ x 4¼ Basic White, before you die cut it, with Pool Party ink using the Stamparatus.  Clean the stamp but leave on the Stamparatus and stamp the image again with VersaMark ink.  Pour clear embossing powder over the stamped image and heat set.
  4. I added ink to a clear block and then used the Blender Pens to color the flowers.  When I was done coloring, I wiped off the stamped image to remove any excess ink from the stamped image.
  5. Using the Stitched Nested Labels die, cut out the stamped image.  Adhere to the Poppy Parade layer also cut with a size bigger of the Stitched Nested Labels.
  6. Wrap the ribbon around the stamped layers and tie a bow on the front.  Adhere to card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
  7. For the inside, I cut another frame from the Pool Party and adhered it to the inside.  The greeting is stamped with Crumb Cake ink and the small flower image is stamped with Poppy Parade onto the Basic White layer 3¼ x 4¾.
  8. Stamp the small floral image onto the envelope with Poppy Parade ink.

I have a complete supplies list HERE, or you can click on the picture below as well.

Circle Celebrations and Lovely You



Hello my stamping friends.  Welcome back to my blog.  Today I have a really quick, easy, fun card to share.  Also, I have my first video below showing you how I created this card.  My friend, Frenchie, used Circle Celebrations stamp set last week which inspired me to get ink on my set, as it had been sitting uninked for awhile.  My color combination includes Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple Green, Flirty Flamingo and Mango Melody.  I love these bright bold colors.

Measurements: 
Gorgeous Grape - 4¼ x 11 scored at 5½
Granny Apple Green - 4-1/8 x 5-3/8
Flirty Flamingo - 4 x 5¼
Basic White - 3-7/8 x 5-1/8 for card not using the Stitched Whimsey dies. 3½ x 4¾ for inside
Basic White - 3½ x 4¾ *2 for the stitched card
Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon - 20 - 22 inches

Instructions:
  1. Emboss the Flirty Flamingo layer with the Stitched Whimsey dies and adhere to Granny Apple Green layer.
  2. Using Gorgeous Grape, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green and Mango Melody inks randomly stamp several of the images from the Circle Celebration stamp set.
  3. Stamp the greeting (from Lovely You) in the bottom right corner with Gorgeous Grape ink.  Adhere to Flirty Flamingo layer.
  4. Wrap the ribbon around these layers and tie a bow on the left front side.  Adhere to card base.
  5. Randomly stamp a few of the images on one corner of the inside layer an on the bottom left corner of the envelope.


                             



















As stated above, I did my first video on this card, which I have inserted for you.  Towards the end I received a phone call, so the last couple of minutes have no sound but I decided to post in anyways.  I know for next time that I need to put my phone on do not disturb.  Hope you enjoy.  You can also click HERE for the video as well.


I also have a complete shopping list for you HERE.  Just remember to unclick the items you don't need and the rest will be put into your shopping cart.
