Honey Bee Home miss you card!

Miss you!



 This Honey Bee Bundle is part of the Heart & Home Suite on pages 58 & 59 in our mini catalog and will be carried over to the new Annual catalog!! I love bees so this suite is one of my faves! Remember though the DSP will not carry over so if you love this as much as I do you will want to get it before it is gone!!



To make this card I started with a cinnamon Cider card base measuring 8-1/2" x 5-1/2", scored and folded at 4-1/4". The first layer on the front of the card is Very Vanilla cardstock measuring 5-3/8" x 4-1/8". The second layer is another layer of Cinnamon Cider measuring 5-1/4" x 4" and embossed with the Hive 3D EF which is also a part of this suite. 
The top part is a 3-1/2" square of Very Vanilla. I then cut 4 pieces of Cinnamon Cider @ 1-1/2" squares and topped with 4 pieces of the Heart & Home DSP cut @ 1-3/8" squares.  The greeting on the front is cut from Very Vanilla using the Ornate Frames Dies. I also used a Bumble Bee Trinket on the front of the card as well. 
The ribbon I used on the front of this card is currently unavailable but we have many other ribbons to choose from on pages 139 & 140 in our annual catalog. 
For the inside I have a piece of Very Vanilla cut at 5-1/4" x 4" and a small piece of DSP cut at 1" x 4". 



Thanks for looking!!

 Get them before they are gone!!!

This is a beautiful fun fold card but this paper, die and embossing folder are all on our Retirement List as we prepare for our new Annual catalog!!! Even though they are carrying over the Pansy Patch stamp set and dies, the paper will be leaving us!!  The Stitched So Sweetly dies have been my (favorite!) go to for awhile now and is going to be greatly missed!! I love this embossing folder, it gives just the right amount of texture!! Get them before they are gone!!!






Measurements for this card are: 

Card base: Thick Basic White  CS- 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" 
 
First layer: Magenta Madness CS - 4" x 5-1/4" embossed with the Ornate embossing folder

Next layer is Basic White CS - 3-1/8" x 8-1/2" scored and folded at 4-1/4"

Magenta Madness layer on top of this part is die cut with the largest rectangle in Stitched So Sweetly dies

The DSP that tops this is 2-5/8" x 3-3/4"

The Greeting layer and Greeting are both die cut using the smallest 2 rectangles in the Stitched So Sweetly dies. 

Other items I used to complete this card were the Brushed Brass Butterflies and the White crinkled seam binding ribbon! 
The greetings are from the Pansy Patch stamp set and are stamped in Magenta Madness

Adulting is Hard!! using Nothing Better Than stamp set and coordinating dies!

 Nothing Better Than stamp set and coordinating dies are in our 2021-2022 Annual Catalog! 


This is the cutest card for someone going through a rough moment and needing a little pick me up! 

The card base for this card is a piece of So Saffron card stock cut 5-1/2" x 4-1/4". 

We then cut a piece of Basic White CS to 8" x 5-1/4" and score on the long side at 4". When folded this then gives us a piece measuring 5-1/4" x 4". 

I also cut a circle using the largest of the layering circle dies to attach to the front of the card. 

The piece of DSP comes from the Pattern Party (hostess pack) and measures 4" x 5-1/4".

I die cut the word cocktail from a scrap of Bermuda Bay card stock.



After stamping my coctail glasses and sentiments I used Petal Pink and Crushed Curry to stamp the drink inside the glasses. I then used the blends in Bermuda Bay and So Saffron to color the umbrella and slice on the glasses. 

Once it was all completed I went back and added some Wink Of Stella to my glasses just to give them a little bling!!


Hope you enjoyed this card! 
Here is a youtube video with all the details too!!

It is a wondeful thing when Stampin'Up! coordinates the sale-a-brations with the catalog items.

I started this card with a Misty Moonlight card base measuring 4-1/4" x 11". I scored this on the long side at 2-3/4" and 5-1/2". 
There are 3 pieces of Basic White -- 1--( 4" x 5-1/4"), 1-- (3-1/2" x 2-1/2"), and 1--  (2-1/2" x 4")
There are 2 pieces of the DSP - 1--(3-3/4" x 2-1/4") and 1--(3-3/4" x 2-3/4")
You also need 1 piece of Magenta Madness measuring 3-3/4" x 2-3/4"




First thing to do is find the sheet of rainbows and cut one apart to use on your card front. 



Now you need to take the small rainbow die and die cut it out of the basic white piece measuring 2-1/2" x 3-1/2". then you can attach your rainbow dsp piece to the back of the die cut piece and stamp your greeting right below your rainbow. I also cut a second piece with the rainbow die out of my Misty Moonlight piece and added the piece for the second section covering the green. 


After you get this section assemble you can go ahead and complete the assembly of the card.



Make sure you only put adhesive on the left side of your Magenta Madness layer and center it with the card folded before attaching. 



Of course to complete the card I added some Wink Of Stella to the rainbow to give it that extra special touch. Sure hope you liked this card! It was fun to make and is going to make some people very happy!!!

I ENJOY EVERY CHAPTER OF OUR FRIENDSHIP

 This single stamp is perfect for your cardmaking. You can stamp the image and leave it plain or step it up by coloring and layering. And the sentiment and image are perfect for your friends that like to read or not!! 


For this card I used Granny Apple Green for the card base and cut a piece of DSP from the Pattern Party hostess DSP pack at 5-3/8" x 4-1/8". The top piece is the largest die from the Scalloped Contours dies. I also cut a second piece from the basic white for the inside of my card too.





 I used a stamparatus to stamp the image just so I could make sure I had the image to the darkness I wanted and didn't have to worry about lining it up to match!



 

I used the blends in Pool Party, Real Red, Granny Apple Green, Pale Papaya, and Pumpkin Pie to color my image. I also added some Wink of Stella to the white parts of my pair of glasses to make it sparkle a little. 




Thanks for looking!!!

Love is in the Air!!! Stampin Stray Ducklings Feb. 2022 Blog Waddle!


 Sweet Talk Suite Collection is amazing and I just can't get enough of it!!!



I got this card idea right out of the catalog!! (page 8) I love the detail!!


I started with a Blushing Bride card base. 

I cut a piece of the DSP at 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" and inked up the Gingham Embossing folder with the Blushing Bride ink pad and ran it through my Stmapin' Cut & Emboss Machine. 

I then cut a piece of Pool Party CS 4-1/8" x 3" and a piece of Shimmery White CS was cut using the Largest Die in the Stitched So Sweetly Die set. Using the Water Painters I did a watercolor wash on my Shimmery White piece using Pool Party ink. and then layered it onto the piece of Pool Party CS.

I then die cut out 2 mini envelopes from Blushing Bride CS and mini hearts fro Pool Party CS. The BFF heart was die cut out of the DSP. 

The sentiment for the front was stamped in Blushing Bride on a 1" square of the Shimmery White CS. For the inside of the card I cut a piece of Shimmery White CS and stamped the greeting in Blushing Bride.
