Time 4 Stamping

FB Live Recap: Halloween Night

The Scenic Pumpkin Patch stamp set has many pumpkin images to use on your cards and projects. I’ve made some cards using only this set, but I also wanted to show how to combine it with other sets to create great Halloween cards. I love how the card using the Potions and Spells bundle along with the Scenic Pumpkin Patch set turned out! It’s a little labor-intensive but well worth the effort.

For the other card that I made in this week’s video, I combined the Scenic Pumpkin Patch set with the large In The Grove die. The DSP from the Thoughtful Wishes suite makes a great backdrop for the trees and pumpkins.

If you missed the live video, you can watch the replay here. I will also be posting more cards using these sets on my blog, so be sure to check back!

Here’s the cardstock needed to make this card:

Card Base: Gorgeous Grape – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
First Layer: Pumpkin Pie – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″
Second Layer: Very Vanilla – 5 1/4″ x 4″
Pumpkins: Scrap of Very Vanilla
Inside First Layer: Pumpkin Pie – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″
Inside Second Layer: Very Vanilla – 5 1/4″ x 4″

For this card, you will need the following cardstock:

Card Base: Blackberry Bliss – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
First Layer: Misty Moonlight – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″
Second Layer: Basic Black – 5 1/4″ x 4″, cropped with the In The Grove Die
Pumpkins: Scraps of Very Vanilla
Inside First Layer: Misty Moonlight – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″
Inside Second Layer: Very Vanilla – 5 1/4″ x 4″

I’ve listed the products used for these cards below. Please note that for the first card’s inside sentiment that you see in the video, I used a retired stamp set called The Raven, and for the greeting and inside sentiment for the second card, I used a retired set called Hallow’s Night Magic. If you do not have these sets, you can simply use whichever Halloween sentiments stamps you have on hand.

I also used a 1 3/8″ circle punch to make a mask for the moon on the first card. I used retired glow-in-the-dark bats colored with the black Blends marker to make the little bats for the second card. Again, if you don’t have any of these retired items, just improvise with what you do have!

Changing Leaves – Use Hybrid Embossing Folder for This Card

While the Changing Leaves bundle has beautiful stamped leaf images, you can simply use the hybrid embossing folder to make lovely leaves for your projects. For this card, I used the leaves made with the embossing folder and cropped with the coordinating die.

Here are the steps to make this card:

Make a card base using Crumb Cake cardstock that is 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″.
Attach a 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Crushed Curry card stock to the card base.
Emboss a 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Pecan Pie cardstock with the Changing Leaves folder and attach it to the card front.
Cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock to 5 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ and emboss with the Changing Leaves folder.
Use Blending Brushes to add Mossy Meadow, Cajun Craze, and Crushed Curry inks to the leaves. (Refer to photo.) Crop the leaves with the coordinating die.
Crop the smaller leaves and branch out of Gold Foil Paper.
Arrange all of the leaves onto the card front and glue in place. Refer to photo for placement.
Use a glue dot to add a small bow made of linen thread or Baker’s twine to the base of the leaves.
For the inside, layer a 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Crushed Curry cardstock to the inside of the card.
Use Cajun Craze ink to stamp a sentiment of your choice to a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and attach to the inside of the card.

FB Live Recap: Changing Leaves Braided Card

As I mentioned last week, there are so many choices when designing with the Changing Leaves bundle. This week, I made a card with a braided edge and used two of the larger leaf images to decorate the front. I also added some gold foil sprigs to the card for extra bling.

If you missed the live presentation, you can watch the replay here. In the video, I show you how to make a template to use to make the braided edge for the card.

First Layer: Very Vanilla 5 3/8″ x 3 1/4″

Changing Leaves – Copper and Gold

Here are the directions to make a beautiful card using the Changing Leaves bundle including the hybrid embossing folder. The card is perfect for any autumn occasion! I chose to make it an all-occasion card and left it blank inside to write my own message, but you could easily change the greeting to make it a birthday card, a thank-you card, or even a sympathy card.

Start with a base of Copper Clay cardstock at 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″.
For the first layer, use the embossing folder to emboss a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Basic Beige and adhere it to the card base.
Stamp two leaves onto copper clay cardstock, then crop with the large die.
Crop one double leaf, one single leaf, and two sprigs from gold foil paper.
Crop two gold leaf branches from Distressed Gold paper.
Arrange the cropped leaves and sprigs onto the card front.
Glue all of the gold pieces in place, then glue the copper leaves in place.
Using Copper Clay ink, stamp the greeting onto a scrap of Basic Beige cardstock and crop with the larger label die. Attach with dimensionals.
Add a few of the copper colored adhesives sequins to the card front for a little bling.
For the inside, stamp a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Basic Beige cardstock with a sentiment of your choice or leave blank to write your own message. If desired, stamp a leaf in the corner using Copper Clay ink.

FB Live Recap: Changing Leaves

If you follow me at all, you know that I love autumn, and I just couldn’t wait to start using the Changing Leaves bundle. Besides the beautiful stamp set and dies, there is a coordinating hybrid embossing folder that, when used with the largest die, will cut out the three leaf images from the embossing folder or from the stamped images. So many choices when designing your projects! For my video this week, I chose to use two of the cards I’ve made that may not be the traditional colors of Fall, but I think they work well with the design.

FB Live Recap: Wildflower Design Fun-fold and A Paper Tole Zinnia

This was a bit of a crazy week for me, so I wasn’t able to do a series of cards using a single card sketch. However, I was able to show another easy fun-fold card in which I used the Wildflower Designs bundle and an old technique called Paper Tole, which I used with the Flowering Zinnia DSP. If you weren’t able to watch the presentation live, you can watch the replay here.

The small floral images from the Wildflower Designs work well with this fun-fold since you need small images for the 1 1/2″ squares. The opened card gives you a nice effect of the images as well.

Here are the measurements of the cardstock needed for the fun-fold card:

Card Base: Wild Wheat 7 3/4″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″ and 2 1/2″
Front Left Panel: Moody Mauve: 5 3/8″ x 2 3/8″
DSP Layer: Wildly Flowering DSP – 5 1/4″ x2 1/4″
Small Mats for Flowers: Moody Mauve – 1 5/8″ x 1 5/8″ and Basic White 1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ (embossed with Distressed Tile EF)
Flowers: Scraps of Basic White
Inside First Layer: Moody Mauve – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″
Inside Second Layer: Basic White – 5 1/4″ x 4″

This card borrows from an old craft called Paper Tole, where you cut the same image multiple times and create layers with the cut images. Sometimes the exact image would be cut several times; other times, people would make each successive layer a little smaller, which is what I did for this card. You can see how I cut the flower from the DSP four times, the bottom layer including the leaves, and the three remaining layers just slightly smaller:

Here are the cardstock requirements to make this card:

Card Base: Basic White – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
First Layer: Flowering Zinnias DSP – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″
Second Layer: Lemon Lime Twist – 4 3/8″ x 3 1/8″
Third Layer: Flowering Zinnias DSP – 4 1/4″ x 3″
Flower: Flowering Zinnias DSP
Greeting: Basic White – 5/8″ x 3″ strips, cut two

FB Live Recap: Three Cards with Simple Sketch #2 Plus a Bonus Fun-Fold!

Here is another set of cards I made using the same card sketch. They look so different because of the colors, DSP, and stamp sets used, but the simple sketch is the same. Use this sketch with your favorite stamp sets, colors, and DSP to make the cards your own, or feel free to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) them if you wish. One of the fun things I like about creating off of a card sketch is that once I make one card, I find myself looking at other stamp sets and wondering what it would look like using the sketch. If you missed the live presentation, you can watch the replay here.

The basic card sketch is below. It’s made on the average A-2 size card front (5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″). Use DSP or embossed cardstock for your first layer. Add your focal point of either a stamped image, die cut or greeting. Add any complimentary embellishments as desired.

I’ve included the complete supply list of all of the products I used to create these cards if you want to re-create them.

Here are the basic measurements for this sketch:

Card Base: 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
First Layer: DSP or Embossed Cardstock – 5 1/4″ x 4″
Vertical Strips: 3″ x 1″, cut two of coordinating DSP
Horizontal Strip: Coordinating DSP 4″ x 1/2″ OR 4″ x 3/4″
Focal Point: Stamped Images or Die Cuts as desired
Inside: Basic White 5 1/4″ x 4″
Optional Decorative Strips for Inside: Cardstock or DSP 4″ X 5/8″ AND 4″ X 1/2″

The front of this card opens in the center to reveal a great fun-fold card with lots of DSP to decorate it.

Here is the diagram of how to score and cut a 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ piece of cardstock to create the fun-fold base. If you have difficulty understanding this, I explained it on the video.

Besides the 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Old Olive cardstock for the base, here are the measurements for the other pieces of cardstock and DSP to complete this card:

Front Side Panels: Flowering Zinnia DSP – 5 3/8″ x 2″ (cut tw0)
Front Circles: Old Olive – 4″ x 4″; Basic White – 2 1/4″ x 2 1/4″
Flower Stem/Flower Bud on Front: Scraps of Mossy Meadow, Cherry Cobbler and Melon Mambo
Inside Side Panels: Flowering Zinnia DSP – 5 3/8″ x 2″ (cut tw0)
Top & Bottom Center Panels: Flowering Zinnia DSP – 4″ x 1″ (cut two)
Center Panel: Old Olive – 4″ x 3 1/4″ and Flowering Zinnia DSP – 3 7/8″ x 3 1/8″

FB Live Recap: Three Cards with Simple Card Sketch #1

I’m so happy to be able to do Facebook Live videos again! There have been so many new products being introduced through the new catalog as well as online exclusives. I wanted to try something a little different here and introduce a very simple card sketch, making several cards using some of the pretty new Designer Series Papers that are currently out. I hope to introduce a new sketch every week and show how to use it to create many cards. Hopefully, you will be able to see this as a tool to design your own cards with the supplies you have on hand. Of course, you’re always welcome to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) any of my designs. For that reason, I’ve included the product list of everything I’ve used to make these cards.

The basic card sketch is below. It is made on the average A-2 size card front (5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″). Once you have the basic layers, you can add any focal point you like or simply a label with a greeting. My focal points for these cards include either stamped images, a DSP image which was fussy cut, or greetings on various labels.

Here are the measurements for the base and layers of each card:

Card Base: 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
First Layer: 5 1/4″ x 4″
DSP Matt Layers: Cut two different patterns DSP at 4 ” x 3″
Focal Point/ Scraps of Basic White or whatever you’re using as your point of interest

Note that on my card with the little frog, I actually added one more layer of Basic White at 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ under the 5 1/4″ x 4″ layer. This is an option if you feel that your colors need that extra little pop of white between your colored layers.

Join me next Tuesday at for another card sketch and ways to use it.

Here’s the list of all the products I used to create my three cards. If you would like to purchase any of them, you can shop with me here. As always, thank you for your support!
