“To a Wild Rose” Peek Through Card

Hello everyone! I am happy to finally share my favorite card that features my favorite bundle: “To a Wild Rose”.  I copied this card from a demonstrator inspiration/training email.  There was only a picture in the email;  I had to figure out the supplies, peek through technique, and assembling on my own.  Took a little bit of work but I love the layout and colors so much it was worth it. Plus, now I can share it with all of you. 🙂

Scroll down past the pictures of the card to find a video walking you through how to create this card.

I love the white on white of the die cuts on the card base and how that contrasts with the pops of color from the leaves and flower. I adhered the three background die cuts with liquid glue. Then I die cut a circle off to the right hand side using the second largest regular (non-scalloped) circle die cut from the Layering Circle Die set. I cut the frame with the first and third largest circle dies from the same set and adhered the frame with glue dots. The basic black banner is 3/8″ x 3 1/2″. I flagged the right end, embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder, and adhered the banner with glue dots to the frame.

The peek through element even looks sharp from the inside. 🙂 I decided to include a frame on the inside to keep the clean, minimalist look. Remind me of a ship’s porthole. lol

The flower uses two of three flower stamps from the To a Wild Rose Set.  There is an base layer, an accent layer, and an outline layer. I used Grapefruit Grove for my base layer and Calypso Coral for the accent layer.  I skipped the outline on this flower.  I stamped the center of the flower in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I popped the flower up with Stampin’ Dimensionals and arranged the leaves and black accent pieces around the flower, adhering them with glue dots.

Here’s the video I filmed that walks you through how to create this card. Please leave me a comment letting me know what you think.  I welcome your feedback. If you like what you see please also “like” this video on YouTube. I appreciate your support!

Bird Ballad Cards with Stampin’ Blends

Hello! I’ve had a wonderful time coming up with these cards using product from the Bird Ballad Suite. It’s such a sweet, elegant group of products. I really love that Stampin’ Up! has created an ordering number for the entire suite (for those of you who are like me and want everything in the suites we like). They also still have ordering number for individual products in each suite.

Check the end of this post for a YouTube video showing how to color and assemble these three cards. Thanks for taking a look! I invite you to leave me a comment on this post letting me know what you think of my cards. I love your feedback!

These delicate laser-cut notecards come with beautiful envelopes with scalloped flaps. The notecards are sold in a pack of 12 and come in a gorgeous petal pink tin with copper decoration. Check that out in the product link at the end of this post.

I hold about three classes a month in my home in Racine, WI and I always make sure that one of them is a Stampin’ Blends class. I really love coloring with these alcohol-based blending markers. I am always on the lookout for stamp sets that work well with coloring and the Blends markers. The “Free as a Bird” stamp set from this suite is one of those great for coloring sets.

The Designer Series Paper is usually what grabs my eye first from each suite and this Bird Ballad DSP was no exception. These charming designs and soft colors really spoke to me. Check out the video for another version of this card featuring a different DSP design.

Stampin’ Up! added another die set with stitching to their die set line up with the Stitched Nested Labels dies from this suite. The Free as a Bird Stamp Set and the Stitched Nested Labels dies are available in a bundle for a 10% discount. I used the largest and third largest dies to make the frame for this second card. To do this you run them through a die cutting machine at the same time.

The above photo shows one of the four designs from the delightful Bird Ballad Trinkets.  Below you can see that I decided to change things up on the inside of my card and add what was left when I cut out my frame.

When I cut out white piece of cardstock for the sentiment in the card above I was left with a really cool negative image that cried out “sponge with me!” I was inspired to create this card below. You can see how I did that in the video.

I’m not sure how well you can see in the picture above but I did color the birds with my Seaside Spray Blends even with the Petal Pink sponging below the image, and it looks really neat. I also colored over the bird image with my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush. Really adds a WOW factor to the simpler design of this card. I must have added these later, but I did put a few Rhinestones on this card too. It seems I thought of that at the end of the video. lol

Here’s the video I made that shows how to color and assemble these three cards. You will also get a more complete look at the products in the Bird Ballad Suite. Check it out and leave me a comment. I love to hear your thoughts! Be sure to “like” the video if you enjoyed the cards. 🙂

Multi-Panel Pullout Card with Woven Threads & Mosaic Mood DSP

Hello everyone! I’m jumping back into blogging after quite a break.  I’m going to try to blog whenever the Brewers have day games and it lines up with my daughters’ naps. 🙂

I have lots of new ideas to share with you since the recent release of the new 2019-2020 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.  Check out these beautiful cards featuring the brand new Woven Threads Designer Series Paper (DSP) and Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP. I can’t get enough of this card design. I just saw it a few weeks ago on fellow SU! demo, LeeAnn Greff’s, blog.  Is it new to you as well? Leave me a comment on this post and let me know. I’m curious which of these 4 designs is your favorite as well.

You can find my YouTube video for this card at the end of this post.

   

The Woven Threads Designer Series Paper features all 5 of the new In Colors: Pretty Peacock, Terracotta Tile, Seaside Spray, Purple Posy, and Rococo Rose.  These In Colors will only be around for the next two years so you’ll want to snatch them up now to have the most time to create with them. I love that this catalog has a suite of products dedicated just to the new 2019-2021 In Colors. The Woven Threads DSP is part of that suite. Click here to check out that In Color Suite. 

   

It doesn’t show up very well in the pictures but several of the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP designs have clear embossing. The shine is so pretty! Like all of the 12 x 12 DSP packs, the Mosaic Mood Specialty pack comes with 12 sheets of paper, 2 each of 6 double-sided designs. One of each side has the shiny, clear embossing over the designs.

   

Measurements

-Back panel & 3rd from back layer= 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″ & 3 1/4″ X 4 1/2″ (also scrap for die cutting biggest scalloped square)

-2nd from back layer = 4″ X 5 1/4″ & 2 1/2″  (also scrap for die cutting second biggest scalloped square)

-Whisper White 4 1/4″ X 11″,  scored at 1 1/2″, 3″, 5 1/2″ & 8″,  2 1/4″ (also scrap for die cutting the sentiment square)

-DSP (from left to right) = 1 1/4″ X 4″,  2 1/4″ X 4″ & 2 3/4″ X 4″

*Note: All cards with the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP have the inside sentiment stamped in Early Espresso Ink. The card with the So Saffron layer has Garden Green Ink for the front sentiment.  The card with the Mint Macaron layer has Cajun Craze for the front sentiment. The card with the Calypso Coral layer has Mint Macaron for the front sentiment.

   

A few weeks ago I made a video showing how to make this card. I would be honored if you would “like” this video and leave me a comment letting me know what you think of it. I also invite you to subscribe to my channel to be notified of future videos. I am just starting out with making card videos and am having a lot of fun. Thanks for checking that out!

Thanks so much for checking out this post. I hope you are inspired to make a multi-panel pullout card like this with your favorite new Designer Series Paper from the new catalog. You can check out all of the new DSP packs here.
