Time 4 Stamping

Tutorial: Shades of Purple Bouquet

Gold accents and flowers with shades of purple make this card extra special!

Cut Cardstock:

Card Base: Highland Heather – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
First Layer: Ornate Garden Designer Paper (gold flowered) – 5 1/4″ x 4″
Gold Layer: Gold Foil Paper – 4 3/4″ x 3 1/2″
Stamped Layer: Shimmery White Cardstock – 4 1/2″ x 3 1/4″
Inside Layer: Whisper White – 5 1/4″ x 4″
Decorative Strip Matt: Highland Heather -4″ x 5/8″
Decorative Strip: Ornate Garden DSP (gold flowered) – 4″ x 1/2″

Assembly:

Using Versamark ink, stamp the large flower bouquet from the Ornate Style stamp set to the 4 1/2″ x 3 1/4″ piece of Shimmery White Cardstock. Sprinkle with Gold Emboss Powder and set with heat tool.

Color the flowers as desired. I used an Aqua Painter with Highland Heather ink to color the small flowers and Gorgeous Grape ink to color the two larger flowers. Vary the intensity of the ink to give the flowers slightly different shades of purple. I used a Highland Heather Stampin’ Write marker to color the daisies to add yet another shade of purple. I colored all of the flower centers with the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend marker and used the Mint Macaron Combo Stampin’ Blends to color the leaves.

Use the corner rounder punch to trim the corners of the stamped piece and the gold foil piece.

Layer the stamped piece onto the gold foil piece with dimensionals. Adhere this piece to the Ornate Garden gold flowered designer paper, slightly to the upper right edge.

Tie a piece of Gold Metallic Edge ribbon around this piece and tie into a bow toward the left side. See photo for placement. Use snail to adhere the completed piece to the card front.

Inside:

Use snail to adhere the gold flowered strip of Designer Paper to the Highland Heather strip of cardstock. Adhere this to the remaining piece of Whisper White cardstock. Use Gorgeous Grape ink to stamp the sentiment from the Abstract Impressions stamp set onto this piece.

Use Versamark ink to stamp the small flower from the Ornate Style stamp set to the lower left side of the inside piece. Sprinkle with Gold Emboss powder and set with heat tool.

Color the leaves with the Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends markers. Color the flower center with Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends marker. Color the flower with Highland Heather ink using the Aqua Painter.

Use snail to adhere the completed piece to the inside of the card.

Envelope:

Use Versamark ink to stamp the small flower from the Ornate Style stamp set to the lower left corner of the envelope. Sprinkle with Gold Emboss powder and set with heat tool. Color as you did for the flower on the inside of the card.

Tutorial: Trio of Daisies

Use the daisy image from the Ornate Style stamp set to create a lovely trio of daisies on this card.

Cut Cardstock:

Card Base: Whisper White – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
First Layer: Old Olive – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″, cut two
Second Layer (OUTSIDE): Gold Foil Flower Ornate Garden Designer Paper – 5 3/8″ x 1 3/4″
Second Layer (INSIDE): Whisper White – 5 1/4″ x 4″
Background Matts: Basic Black – 2 3/4″ x 1 1/2″, cut three; 3 5/8″ x 3/4″ cut one
Stamped Images: Whisper White – 2 5/8″ x 1 3/8″, cut three; 3 1/2″ x 5/8″ cut one

Assembly:

Emboss one piece of the Old Olive cardstock with the Ornate Flower 3D embossing folder, then adhere to the card front with snail.

Use snail to adhere the gold foil flowered Designer Paper piece to the card front slightly above center.

Using Mossy Meadow ink, stamp the daisy image from the Ornate Style stamp set onto each of the 2 5/8″ x 1 3/8″ pieces of Whisper White cardstock. Color the flower images with Stampin’ Blends markers, using Daffodil Delight combo for the flowers, Dark Soft Suede for the flower centers and Old Olive combo for the leaves. Adhere these to the corresponding Basic Black pieces with snail.

Use dimensionals to attach these to the card front slightly above center – see the photo for placement. Make sure to evenly space these pieces on the card front! I find it easier to do this by placing the end pieces on first, then centering the middle image between them.

Use Memento ink to stamp the greeting from the Peaceful Moments stamp set onto the 3 1/2″ x 5/8″ strip of Whisper White cardstock, then adhere to the Basic Black strip of cardstock. Use dimensionals to attach this piece to the card front underneath the daisies.

Inside:

Use snail to adhere the remaining piece of Old Olive cardstock to the inside of the card.

Use Mossy Meadow ink to stamp a single daisy from the Ornate Style stamp set onto the lower left corner of the remaining piece of Whisper White cardstock. Color with the Daffodil Delight combo, Old Olive combo and Dark Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends as you did for the card front.

Use Memento ink to stamp the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set to this piece, then snail the completed piece to the inside of the card.

Envelope:

Using Mossy Meadow ink, stamp a single daisy image onto the lower left corner of the envelope and color with the Daffodil Delight combo, Old Olive combo and Dark Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends as you did for the inside.

Tutorial: Ornate Bouquet

Here is a lovely bouquet inspired by the colors of the coordinating Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper. The Stampin’ Blends markers make it so easy to color!

Cut Cardstock:

Card Base: Old Olive – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
First Layer: Terra Cotta Tile – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″, cut two
Second Layer (CARD FRONT): – Coordinating Designer Series Paper – 5 1/4″ x 4″
Second Layer (INSIDE): Whisper White – 5 1/4″ x 4″
Ornate Layer: Whisper White – 5″ x 3 1/2″
Stamped Layer: Whisper White – 4 1/2″ x 3 1/2″

Assembly:

Use snail to adhere one piece of the Terra Cotta Tile cardstock to the card front. Layer the coordinating Designer Series Paper to this piece using snail.

Using the larger die from the Ornate Layers dies, crop the 5 1/4″ x 3 1/2″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Adhere this to the cardfront. I like to use multipurpose glue for this to make sure the intricate design on the edges is adhered.

Using Memento ink, stamp the flower bouquet from the Ornate Style stamp set onto the 4 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Use Stampin’ Blends markers to color the image. The colors I used for the flowers are Daffodil Delight Combo, Calypso Coral Combo, Light Pumpkin Pie, Mango Melody Combo and Dark Soft Suede for some of the flower centers. I used Old Olive Combo for the leaves. Fussy cut the flower bouquet and use dimensionals to attach to the card front.

Inside:

Adhere the remaining piece of Terra Cotta Tile cardstock to the inside of the card using snail.

Use Memento ink to stamp the small flower from the Ornate Style stamp set to the lower left corner of the remaining piece of Whisper White cardstock. Color the flower with Calypso Coral and Old Olive Combo Stampin’ Blends markers. Stamp the sentiment of your choice to this piece using Memento ink. I used one of the sayings from the Peaceful Moments stamp set for the sentiment. Snail the completed piece to the inside of the card.

Envelope:

Using Memento ink, stamp the small flower image from the Ornate Style stamp set onto the lower left corner of the envelope. Color the flower with Stampin’ Blends markers as you did for the inside of the card.

Tutorial: Fancy Fold Magnolia Card

This fancy fold card is a “card within a card” and features the Magnolia Blooms stamp set, which is not in the annual catalog but is an offering in the Beginner Brochure available through Stampin’Up. The Magnolia Lane Designer Paper and gold embossing lend to the elegance of this card.

Cut Cardstock:

Card Base:
- Petal Pink – 10” x 5 ⅕”, score long side at 4 ¼” and 8 ½”
- Magnolia Lane Designer Paper: 5 ¼” x 4”, 5 ¼” x 1 ¼”, 3 ¼” x 2 ¾”

Use snail or Tear & Tape to attach a piece of Gold Metallic Edge ribbon about 22” long to the front of the mini card base, then wrap around and attach to the back of the larger card base with snail or Tear & Tape. There should be two ribbon tails about 7” long at the left edge of the card which will get tied together later. (Note – I didn’t have any gold metallic edge ribbon in my stash so this card is showing the silver edged ribbon.)

Use Versamark to stamp the large flower from the Magnolia Blooms stamp set to one of the 3 ¼” x 2 ¾” pieces of Whisper White cardstock. Sprinkle with Gold Emboss Powder and set with heat tool.

Use Versamark to stamp the ‘Birthday Wishes’ greeting from the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set to the upper left of the flower. Sprinkle with Gold Emboss Powder and set with heat tool.

Use an aqua painter to color the flower with Petal Pink and Pear Pizzazz ink. Snail to the front of the mini card base, covering the ribbon.

Use Versamark to stamp the small flower from the Magnolia Blooms stamp set to the lower left of the sentiment. Sprinkle with Gold Emboss Powder and set with heat tool.

Tutorial: Magnolia Treat Box

It’s Magnolia Week! Here’s the first in a series of projects made with the Magnolia Blooms stamp set and Magnolia Lane Designer Paper. The Magnolia Blooms stamp set is not in the annual catalog, but is available through the Beginner Brochure. It is a lovely compliment to the larger Good Morning Magnolia stamp set which is in the annual catalog.

This quick-to-make treat box is perfect for holding tea bags, chocolates, or even an individually wrapped little cake. The design was inspired by my friend Julie Gilson of Stampin’ Gala.

Cut Cardstock:

Box Bottom: Petal Pink 8 ½” x 6”, score on the 6” side at 1 ½” and 4 ½, score on the 8 ½” side at 3 ½” and 5”
Box Lid: Magnolia Lane Designer Paper ( green leaf design) – 5 ⅝” x 4 ⅛”, score all sides at 1 1/4″
Flowers and White Background: Whisper White – scraps
Leaves: Mossy Meadow – scrap piece

Assembly:

Box Bottom: Cut on score lines as shown, cutting a slight wedge for easier folding. Apply Tear & Tape as shown.

Fold on score lines, remove paper from Tear & Tape and assemble box.

Box Lid: Cut on score lines as shown and apply Tear & Tape.

Fold on score lines, remove paper from Tear & Tape, and assemble lid.

Lid Embellishment: Out of a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock, crop the doily from the Stitched Labels dies.

Using Memento ink, stamp a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock with the large flower and the small flower from the Magnolia Blooms stamp set. Color with Light Petal Pink and Light Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends markers. Use your paper snips to fussy cut the flowers.

Out of Mossy Meadow cardstock, crop one large and two small leaves from the Magnolia Memory dies. Arrange the leaves and small flower on the doily shape and glue or snail in place. Use dimensionals to attach the large flower to the center of the doily shape. See photo for placement.

Use dimensionals on the upper part of the back of the embellishment to attach to the lid.

Make a small bow with the Gold Metallic Edge ribbon and attach to the top of the lid with Tear & Tape or a glue dot.

Product Spotlight: Take Your Pic Tool

When I teach my card classes, one of the biggest pet peeves I hear is that it is often difficult to pick up small embellishments such as pearls, rhinestones, and sequins, or even peel the paper backing off of dimensionals. Some people struggle with these tasks using their fingers while others have tried some creative approaches like using a toothpick, tweezers, the tip of their paper snips, or even a paperclip. While these things may help a bit, they are not a perfect solution. The Take Your Pic Tool is that solution! It’s a compact tool that has multiple tips and uses.

The tacky putty tip is perfect for picking up sequins and small paper pieces and placing them exactly where you want them on your project.

The other end of the tool has an interchangeable tip.

The mini spatula is great for taking the pearls and rhinestones off of their paper and easily transferring them to your card or project.

Flip the tip to the other side and you will have a pointy tip, which is a great help in getting the paper backing off of dimensionals and tear & tape. I like to use it especially with the mini-dimensionals. It can also be used as a paper piercer or those times when you need to poke a hole into cardstock to place a brad more easily.

The stylus tip has two different size stylus when you need to score your cardstock. If you are making a treat bag or box, sometimes you need something to help push the tight corners into place. Instead of using the point of your paper snips, which can tear the cardstock, or a pencil tip (which leaves marks), use the stylus tip!

The tips are very easy to change – just twist to unlock and gently pull. It comes with one extra tacky putty tip, and you can order extras as needed. This is one tool that is well worth it as all the handy little gadgets are in one place.

Put an end to your pet peeves and make your craft time just that much more enjoyable by treating yourself to the Take Your Pic Tool!

Emboss the 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″ piece of Whisper White cardstock with the Basket Weave embossing folder, then snail it to the 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. The white border around the embossed piece will make it look more finished off.

Crop the 3 1/2″ x 2 1/4″ piece of Purple Posy cardstock with the second smallest shape from the Stitched So Sweetly dies, then cut it in half.

Use Memento ink to stamp the greeting from the Fable Friends stamp set onto the 2 1/4″ x 2″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Crop with the second smallest die from the Stitched So Sweetly dies. Snail each half of the Purple Posy shape to the sides of the greeting, giving it a small border around the greeting.

Use dimensionals to attach this piece to the card front. Refer to photo for placement.

Crop the 3 1/2″ x 2 1/4″ piece of Purple Posy cardstock with the second largest scalloped rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly dies.

Use Stazon ink to stamp the bunny from the Fabled Friends stamp set onto the 3 1/4″ x 2″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Use a Blender Pen to color the bunny with Crumb Cake, Petal Pink and Highland Heather ink. Crop with the second smallest of the wider rectangles from the Rectangle Stitched Framelits. Use dimensionals to attach this to the Purple Posy scalloped rectangle.

Attach to the card front using dimensionals. Refer to photo for placement.

Add two of the smallest pearls to the bunny’s jacket for buttons.

Use Highland Heather ink to stamp one large and one medium tulip from the Timeless Tulips stamp set onto the 5 1/4″ x4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. (You may want to stamp off on a piece of scrap paper before stamping on the cardstock if you wish to have a lighter color of ink).

Use Granny Apple green ink to stamp two curved stems, two curved leaves and one straight leaf from the Timeless Tulips stamp set onto the same piece of Whisper White cardstock. Be careful how you position the images so that when you punch them out you don’t accidentally cut into the other images. The picture shows where you should stamp the images to avoid this.

Use the coordinating punch to punch out the large tulip and curved leaves. Fussy cut the medium tulip, stems and straight leaf. Arrange the tulips on the card front and snail or glue in place. Refer to photo for placement.

Using the Dark Purple Posy Stampin’Blend marker, color about a 12″ piece of the Silver Metallic Edge ribbon. Tie a small bow and attach to the card front with a glue dot.
