Tutorial: Party Til The Cows Come Home!

 

This easy to make fun-fold card is almost guaranteed to get this reaction: “Aww! That’s So Cute!” The crispness of Real Red and Whisper White combined with the cute little cow is a real people pleaser of a card.

 

Cut Cardstock:
  •    Card Base: Real Red – 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″
  •    First Layer: Whisper White – 5 1/4″ x 4″
  •    Second Layer: Real Red – 5″ x 3 3/4″
  •    Third Layer: Whisper White – 4 3/4″ x 3 1/2″
  •    Fun-Fold Layer: Real Red – 5 1/2″ x 3 1/4″, score the long side at 2 3/4″
  •    Stamped Layers: Whisper White – 3″ x 2 1/2″

 

Assembly:

Snail the 5 1/3″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock to the Real Red card base. Snail the 5″ x 3 3/4″ piece of Real Red cardstock to this piece. This is the card front.

Using Real Red ink, stamp the Buffalo Check background stamp on the 4  3/4″ x 3 1/2″ piece of Whisper White cardstock, then snail to the card front. Remember that because the Buffalo Check stamp is a large stamp, you need to hold the stamp to the cardstock a few seconds longer to give the ink time to transfer.

Fold the 5″ x 3 1/4″ piece of Real Red cardstock on the score line. Place two pieces of Tear & Tape on the back side of this piece, then attach to the card front.

Using Memento ink, stamp the cow from the Over The Moon stamp set onto one 3″ x 2 1/2″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Using Memento ink, stamp the ‘Happy Birthday’ greeting from the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set above the cow.

Color the cow with Stampin’ Blends using Light Smoky Slate, Dark Petal Pink, and the Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker.  Snail to the front of the folded Real Red cardstock piece.

 

Inside:

Using Memento ink, stamp the ‘Party Till The Cows Come Home’ sentiment from the Over The Moon stamp set onto the remaining piece of Whisper White cardstock. Use Memento ink to stamp the moon shape onto the upper left corner, then color with the Light Daffodil Stampin’ Blends marker. Snail this piece to the inside of the card.

 

 

Envelope:

Use Memento ink to stamp the moon shape from the Over The Moon stamp set onto the lower left corner of the envelope and color with the Light Daffodil Stampin’ Blends marker.

Tutorial: Purple Posy

 

A background of fern leaves and a small layer of cardstock shows off one simple flower made with the Pressed Petal washi tape. A layer of Merry Merlot cardstock under the background balances the color of the flower.

 

 

Cut Cardstock:

 

Assembly:

Snail one piece of the Merry Merlot cardstock to the card base.

Use the fern leaf image from the Daisy Lane stamp set and Granny Apple ink to stamp a background on one of the 5″ x 3 3/4″ pieces of Whisper White cardstock. Stamp some of the leaves full strength ink, and stamp off with others so that you have different shades of green for the leaves. To stamp off, simply ink your stamp, then stamp on a piece of scrap paper before stamping on your cardstock. When you are satisfied with this background piece, snail it to the card front.

Snail the piece of Designer Series Paper to the 2 7/8″ x 1 7/8″ piece of Garden Green cardstock, then attach to the card front with dimensionals. See photo for placement.

With the remaining piece of Garden Green cardstock, crop two large leave and one small leaf from the Magnolia Memories dies and set aside.

Punch two 1/2″ circles from Daffodil Delight cardstock. Peel off 5-6 petals from the Pressed Petals washi tape and place on one of the 1/2″ circles, forming a flower. Snail or glue the other 1/2″ circle to the center of the flower. Crop the small flower center from the Magnolia Memories dies, and bend or curl the ‘spokes’ slightly upward and snail or glue to the flower center. To complete the flower, add a small gold faceted gem to the flower center. As an alternative, you could use one of the Perennial Essence Floral Centers for the center of the flower.

Use glue to attach the die cut leaves to the card front – see photo for placement. Use dimensionals or snail the flower to the card front covering the edges of the leaves.

Use Garden Green ink to stamp the ‘Smile’ greeting from the Daisy Lane stamp set onto the 3″ x 1 1/2″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Crop with the third smallest die from the Stitched Nested Labels framelits. Attach to the card front with snail.

 

Inside: 

Snail the remaining piece of Merry Merlot cardstock to the inside of the card.

Use Garden Green ink to stamp the greeting from the Stitched All Around stamp set to the remaining piece of Whisper White cardstock.  Add some fern leaves using Granny Apple Green ink and the image from the Daisy Lane stamp set. Vary the color of the leaves by using full strength ink for some leaves and stamping off for other leaves. Snail this piece to the inside of the card.

 

 

Envelope:

Stamp a couple fern leaves on the lower left corner of the envelope using Granny Apple ink and the fern image from the Daisy Lane stamp set.

 

 

I hope you enjoy making this card.  The Pressed Petal washi tape flower is easy to make and is stunning against the green fern leaves.  And the background of fern leaves is very forgiving, as it doesn’t matter if they overlap!

Time4Stamping Tip: Choosing Colors

 

It’s very easy to look on Pinterest or other crafting sites and ”copy” color combinations when making your cards or other paper crafting items.  But when designing your own project, are you ever at a loss for which colors to choose or which colors coordinate with the Designer Paper you are using?

Here’s a quick tip to help you with that – one that I’d assumed most everyone knows, but recently I’ve been asked multiple times about how to know which colors to use with Designer Paper.

When you order a package of Designer Series Paper, look closely on the back of the white cardboard piece that is in the package with the paper. It tells you the name of the Designer Series Paper, and right under that, in small print, is a list of colors that coordinate with that paper so you know which cardstock or ink colors will work well together. Of course you’re not limited to using only those colors, but it does give you some ideas of what colors are used in the Designer Series Paper. For example, here is the list that is for the Magnolia Lane Designer Paper and the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper.

 

 

Depending on your likes and style, these lists give you a great starting point to coordinate your cardstock or ink with the Designer Paper you are using.

Here are examples of cardstock that match well with the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper and the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper.

 

 

Whether you are new or experienced in papercrafting, I hope this quick tip helps you in your project designing!

From ‘How’ to ‘Wow’ #6: Mama & Baby Bluebirds

 

Here is another very simple card sketch with oh-so-elegant results! Notice that the “shapes” on the sketch don’t necessarily have to be “shapes” on the finished card. I replaced the orange “scalloped circle” with the larger bird image and the green “scalloped ovals” with the stamped leaves images.

 

Cut Cardstock:

 

Assembly:

Using Stazon ink, stamp the three leaf image from the Free As A Bird stamp set onto the lower left corner of a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Seaside Spray cardstock. Use an Aqua Painter to color the leaves with Old Olive ink. The easiest way to do this is to place some ink on an acrylic block or just squeeze the closed stamp pad until some ink transfers to the inside of the lid, then pick up the ink with your Aqua Painter.

When you have finished applying color to the leaves, use the Subtles embossing folder to emboss this piece then snail it to the card front.

Use Stazon ink to stamp the four birds on the branch image from the Free As A Bird stamp set onto the 5″ x 3″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Stamp the small ‘hello’ greeting on the lower right side under the branch. Crop this piece with the second largest Nesting Labels die.

Use Stazon ink to stamp the larger bird image onto the scrap of Whisper White cardstock.

Use an Aqua Painter to color the birds with Seaside Spray, So Saffron and Crumb Cake ink. After applying the Seaside Spray ink, I laid down the So Saffron ink first, then used the Crumb Cake to add a little shading to the birds. Use Blushing Bride ink for the flowers, Old Olive ink for the leaves, and Crumb Cake for the branch, again using an Aqua Painter to apply the color.

Use your Paper Snips to trim around the large bird.

Attach the bird images to the card front with dimensionals. See photo for placement. Tie a small bow with Whisper White Baker’s Twine and attach to the left side of the branch image.

Place one large pearl and two medium pearls on the upper right corner of the card front.

 

Inside:

Snail the remaining piece of Seaside Spray cardstock to the inside of the card.

Use Stazon ink to stamp the greeting from the Forever Lovely stamp set, and one leaf cluster from the Free As A Bird stamp set onto the remaining piece of Whisper White cardstock. Color the leaves with Old Olive ink using your AquaPainter.

Snail the strip of Seaside Spray cardstock on the left side of the stamped piece, leaving just a very thin white border. Tie a piece of Whisper Shite Baker’s Twine around the Seaside Spray strip. Snail the finished piece to the inside of the card.

 

 

Envelope:

Carry the card design to your envelope by using Stazon ink to stamp a leaf cluster on the lower left corner of the envelope. Color with Old Olive ink using your Aqua Painter.

 

 

Thanks for taking a look at this card sketch! You can always try it with your favorite colors. I think coordinating the background color with the color of the birds really adds to the elegance of the card, as well as adding the pearls in the corner for a little bling.

Cut Cardstock:

 

Assembly:

Snail one piece of Basic Black cardstock to the card front.

Using Memento ink, stamp the cow holding the flower from the Over The Moon stamp set onto the left side of a 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock.

Place a piece of tape over the words on the sitting pig stamp from the This Little Piggy stamp set. Ink up the stamp with Memento ink, then remove the tape before stamping the pig next to the cow.

Use Memento ink to stamp the greeting from the Fable Friends stamp set above the pig. Refer to the photo for placement of stamped images.

Color the cow using Dark Smokey Slate, Dark Daffodil Delight, Light Petal Pink, Light Calypso Coral, and Light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends markers. Color the pig with Light and Dark Petal Pink and Dark Smokey Slate Stampin’ Blends markers. Use Light Granny Apple Green and Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends markers to color the grass and dirt under the pig.

Snail the 3/4″ strip of Gingham Terracotta Designer Paper to the bottom of the stamped piece. Wind a piece of linen thread twice around the stamped piece just above the Designer Paper strip and tie it into a small bow.

 

Inside: 

Snail the remaining piece of Basic Black cardstock to the inside of the card.

Use Memento Ink to stamp the pig holding the flower from the This Little Piggy stamp set onto the remaining piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. Refer to the photo to color the pig using the Light and Dark Petal Pink, Dark Smokey Slate, Dark Daffodil Delight, Light Calypso Coral, Light Granny Apple Green and Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends markers.

Snail the 1/4″ strip of Gingham Terracotta Tile Designer Paper to the top of the stamped piece, then snail to the inside of the card.

 

 

Envelope: 

Use Memento ink or a Basic Black Stampin’ Write marker to carefully apply ink to the flower only of the pig with the flower stamp, then stamp to the lower left corner of the envelope. Color the flower with Dark Daffodil Delight, Light Granny Apple Green, and Light Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends markers.

Cut Cardstock:

 

Assembly:

Using the Basket Weave embossing folder, emboss one piece of the Soft Seafoam cardstock, then snail it onto the card front.

Use the Sprig Punch to punch out three sprigs each from the Gold Glimmer Paper and Pear Pizzazz scraps.

Using Blushing Bride ink, stamp one large solid flower and two smaller solid flowers from the Floral Essence stamp set. Use Pineapple Punch ink and the corresponding flower center stamp to add yellow flower centers to the flowers.

Use your paper snips to fussy cut the flowers. Add a bit of glimmer to the flowers using Wink of Stella.

Use the third largest scalloped oval from the Layering Ovals Framelits to crop the piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock.

Using Gray Granite ink, stamp ‘Happy Birthday’ from the Special Celebrations stamp set onto the 3 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Crop this piece with the second largest oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits, then snail onto the cropped Pear Pizzazz oval. Use dimensionals to attach this piece to the card front.

Arrange the Gold Glimmer and Pear Pizzazz sprigs in a pleasing pattern and use multipurpose glue to adhere the sprigs to the card front, tucking the ends under the oval.  See photo for placement.

Use dimensionals to attach the flowers to the card front, covering the ends of the sprigs and slightly overlapping the oval.

Tutorial: Faux Silk Technique

 

The Faux Silk technique lends itself very well to any ‘solid’ type stamps and the Beautiful Friendship stamp set is perfect for this. If you’ve never tried the Faux Silk technique, it is a very simple way to help create an elegant card. If you’ve done this before and you’re like me, you’ve probably put it aside as a technique and always forget to bring it out again! ‘Solid’ stamps, rather than outlines, are perfect for this technique and the Beautiful Friendship stamp set has several different stamps that are great for this purpose.

 

 

Cut Cardstock:

 

Assembly:

Snail one piece of the 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ Seaside Spray cardstock to the card front.

Emboss one piece of 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″ Whisper White cardstock with the Basket Weave embossing folder and snail to the card front. Emboss the 4″x3″ piece of Whisper White cardstock with the Country Floral embossing folder and snail to the card front, about 3/8″ from the top of the card.

 

 

Stamp the design onto the 3 3/4″ x 2 3/4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock, referring to the photo for placement of images. Use Seaside Spray ink to stamp the larger double flower image from the Beautiful Friendship stamp set. Use Highland Heather ink to stamp the long flower spray twice. Use Pear Pizzazz ink to stamp the double and triple leaf images coming off of the blue flowers.

 

 

For the Faux Silk technique, take the piece of tissue paper and crumple it up into a tight ball and set aside.

 

 

Spread a thin layer of multipurpose glue over the entire stamped piece, thinning the glue with a little water if necessary. Open the crumpled tissue paper and press it onto the glued stamped piece, being careful not to smooth out all of the wrinkles. The uneven wrinkles in the tissue paper are what makes it look like cloth. Fold the edges of the tissue to the back of the cardstock and glue or snail in place, or simply use your paper snips to trim off the excess tissue paper. Snail this piece onto the 4″ x 3″ piece of Seaside Spray cardstock.

 

Tie a piece of Whisper White Baker’s Twine around the stamped piece, then use dimensionals to attach it to the card front. Refer to the photo for placement.

 

Inside:

 

 

Snail the remaining piece of Seaside Spray cardstock to the inside of the card.

Use Seaside Spray ink to stamp the smaller single flower image from the Beautiful Friendship stamp set to the lower left corner of the remaining piece of Whisper White cardstock.

Use Highland Heather ink to stamp the long flower spray twice.

Use Pear Pizzazz ink and the double leaf stamp to stamp several leaves around the bottom part of the flower.

Use Seaside Spray ink to stamp the Birthday greeting from the Beautiful Friendship stamp set.

Snail the strip of Seaside Spray cardstock to the top of the stamped piece, Tie a piece of Whisper White Baker’s Twine around the strip, then snail the completed piece to the inside of the card.

 

Envelope: 

 

 

Use Seaside Spray ink to stamp the smaller single flower image to the lower left corner of the envelope. Use Pear Pizzazz ink to stamp the double leaf image around the flower.

If this is the first time you have tried the Faux Silk technique, I hope you enjoyed it!

From ‘How’ to ‘Wow’ #4: Hello Birdie

 

Here is another simple card sketch you can use to create an elegant card. Using Designer Paper for the triangle shapes on the bottom as well as embossing the background layer with the Subtle embossing folder are quick and easy ways to add interest to the design. For the three small circles on the sketch I substituted several small flowers. The light blue oval used as the focal point on the sketch can be any oblong shape – I chose to use the new Nested Label Framelits.

 

 

Cut Cardstock:
  • Card Base: Garden Green – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
  • Second Layer: Soft Seafoam – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″, cut two
  • Third Layer: Garden Lane Designer Series Paper: 4″ x 2 7/8″ (to cut triangles), plus 4″ x 1/2″ strip                          for inside
  • Focal Point: Shimmery White – 4″ x 2 1/4″
  • Inside Layer: Whisper White – 5 1/4″ x 4″, plus scraps for flowers

 

Assembly:

Emboss one piece of Soft Seafoam cardstock with the Subtle embossing folder and snail to card front.

Cut the Designer Series Paper on the diagonal to form two triangles. Take one of the triangles and trim the 2  7/8″ side down to 2 1/2″ so that the triangles differ slightly in height.

Snail the triangles to the card front, overlapping the left triangle over the right triangle.

 

 

Using Stazon ink, stamp one large and five small flowers from the Free As A Bird stamp set onto the scrap of Whisper White cardstock.

Use an Aqua Painter to color the flowers with Grapefruit Grove ink. The easiest way to do this is to apply a bit of ink to an acrylic block then pick up the color with the Aqua Painter – start light; you can always add more color.

Use your paper snips to fussy cut the flowers. Use a Dimensional to attach the larger flower to the card front where the two Designer Paper triangles meet.

Snail one small flower just to the left and slightly under the large flower. Use Dimensionals to attach the remaining small flowers to the card front along the top of the triangles. See photo for placement of flowers.

Place one large pearl on the large flower center and medium pearls on the small flower centers.

Use Stazon ink to stamp the large bird from the Free As A Bird stamp set onto the piece of Shimmery White cardstock. Crop the bird image with the 4th largest Nested Labels framelit.

Use an Aqua Painter to color the bird with Grapefruit Grove and Crumb Cake ink. Use Stazon ink to stamp the small ‘Hello’ greeting to the upper left of the bird. Adhere this piece to the card front using Dimensionals.

 

Inside:

 

Snail the remaining piece of Soft Seafoam cardstock to the inside of the card.

Snail the 1/2″ strip of Designer Paper to the top of the Whisper White cardstock, leaving a narrow border of white showing at the top.

Use Stazon ink to stamp one large and two small flowers to the lower left corner on the Whisper White cardstock. Color the flowers with Grapefruit Grove ink using an Aqua Painter.

Using Stazon ink, stamp the greeting on the Whisper White cardstock. I combined a greeting from the Free As A Bird and Beautiful Bouquet stamp sets. Snail the completed piece to the inside of the card.

 

Envelope:

 

Use Stazon ink to stamp one large flower to the lower left corner of the envelope. Color the flower with Grapefruit Grove ink using an Aqua Painter.

 

I hope you will give this card a try and also use the sketch to create other cards!
