Strawberry Lolly for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

Posted on by

Welcome to the Stampers Showcase blog hop, our last one of 2020 and this month’s theme is ‘Sale-A-Bration’.  I really, really wanted to use the gorgeous Berry Delightful dsp – can’t believe it is a free sale-a-Bration choice along with the co-ordinating stamp set Berry Blessings.

If you have hopped over from Wendy Lee Or you are starting with me, Mo Rootes I hope you will find lots of inspiration on this hop.

To recreate my strawberry lolly card, you will need:

Poppy Parade – 9½” by 4” scored at 4” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5¼” by 3¾” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 3⅞ by 3⅞” – Rounded upper right corner
Berry Delightful dsp – 3¾” by 3¾” – Rounded upper right corner
Granny Apple Green – 3” by 3”
Whisper White 3” by 3”
Whisper White 5½” by 1” – scored at 1”
Oh So Ombre dsp – 4¼” by ¾”
Scrap Whisper White

The piece of Berry Delightful dsp reminded me of a picnic blanket my parents had when I was a child, summer days and strawberries…… I can’t wait….

I adhered the dsp to the square panel of Whisper White card using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used the same glue to add the panel to the card front.

I took the long thin strip of Whisper White, folded on the 1” score line and glued the 1” square tab to the inside of the card base.  I stamped the strawberry in Poppy Parade ink and the top in Granny Apple Green ink onto the largest panel of Whisper White card and adhered it to the inside of the card to hide the stuck down tab.

I glued down the Oh So Ombre dsp- another free choice in the Sale-A-Bration brochure – to the front of the Whisper White strip using the liquid glue.

Using my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the layering Circle Dies I die cut a plain circle from the smallest piece of Whisper White and a scalloped circle from the Granny Apple Green square.  I adhered the Granny Apple Green scalloped circle behind the 1” wide strip using the liquid glue.

I stamped the lolly tick in Crumb Cake ink onto the White Circle and added the lolly in Poppy Parade, love the textured look of these stamps. The stamped circle was then added to the front of the Granny Apple Green scalloped circle using Dimensionals.

I stamped the flower and leaves from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set and added then to the card front on Dimensionals. They were positioned so that they held the circle panel in position.

The sentiment from the Many Messages stamp set was cut with the Messages dies and was added to the card front with glue. I added a trio of Red Rhinestones to complete the card.

I love it and I hope you do too.

Double Z Fold card

A Special Double Z Fold Card

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a card I made for the 60th birthday of one of my oldest and dearest friends. 4 of us started our nurse training over 40 years ago and have remained firm friends ever since. I seem to gravitate to these double z fold cards for all my special birthdays at the moment but I do love them.

Making a Double Z Fold card

I started with a panel of Thick Whisper White 11” by 5½” and scored it at 2¾” and 5½” on the long side. I then cut another piece of Thick Whisper White 9¼” by 4¼” and scored it at 2¾” and 5½” on the long side.

I chose a pattern from the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper stack (dsp) and cut a piece at 5¼” by 5¼” and a piece at 5¼” by 2½”. I adhered the dsp to the 11” by 5½” scored panel of Thick Whisper White, the larger panel on what will become the back of the card and the smaller panel to the front of the card using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. On this occasion I left the middle panel undecorated.

I cut 3 panels of Old Olive cardstock; 1 panel at 4” by 4” and 2 panels at 4” by 2½” and adhered them to the smaller scored Thick Whisper White panel. I then cut 3 panels of Whisper White; 1 panel at 3¾” by 3¾” and 2 panels at 3¾” by 2¼”.  I stamped the gorgeous roses from the Petal Palette stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink along the bottom of the larger Whisper White panel and in the upper right corner of the same panel. I then stamped the roses on either the upper right or lower left of the other two panels and coloured them in using the following Stampin’ Blends – Dark Pink Pirouette (retired), Light Lovely Lipstick, Light & Dark Old Olive. I rounded the corners of the layers using the Detailed Trio Punch.

I stamped the ‘Happy’, ‘Birthday’ and ‘th’ in Momento Tuxedo Black ink on the front and second panels. These words came from the, sadly now retired, Number of Years stamp set.  I die cut the 2 number using the also retired Large Number Framelits from Old Olive cardstock. I cut 3 of each and layered them one on top of the other to give added dimension. The numbers were then added to the front panel with Tombow.

The 2 Thick Whisper White pieces were then carefully glued together. To finish the card I made an envelope using my Envelope Punch Board.

Love the colours of this card and I really hope my friend loves it and forgives me for the large ‘60’ on the front!!

Special Birthday card using Birthday Blooms and Number of Years by Stampin' Up!

Number of Years and Birthday Blooms for a Special Birthday

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a card I made using the Birthday Blooms stamp set, the Number of Years Stamp set and the Large Numbers dies. These are all retiring from the Annual Catalogue on the 31st of May and I will really miss them. I made this card for my Mum who is celebrating her special birthday in a couple of days.

Making the card

I began with a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock 11” by 5½” which I scored on the long side at 2¾” by 5½” using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool. I took a 2nd piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock 9¼” by 4¼” and scored it at 2¾” and 5½” on the long side. I then folded and burnished all of the score lines.

I chose 2 patterns from the Tutti-Frutti dsp stack and cut 2 panels at 5⅜” by 2⅝” and one panel at 5⅝” by 5⅝”. I then adhered these to the larger Thick Whisper White panel leaving a tiny border round each panel.

I then cut panels in Lemon Lime Twist cardstock – one at 4” by 3½” and two at 4” by 2⅝” and Whisper White panels – one at 3⅞” by 3⅜” and two at 3⅞” by 2⅜”.

On the larger Whisper White panel I stamped the large rose image from the Birthday Blooms stamp set in the lower left hand corner using Momento Tuxedo Black ink. I stamped the smaller rose image in the bottom left or top right on the remaining Whisper White panels. I coloured the flowers in with the Light & Dark Daffodil Delight and the Light and Dark Old Olive Blends Pens.

I stamped the word ‘birthday’ using Momento Tuxedo Black ink on the on the panel with the small bloom in the lower left hand corner. I took some scrap Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and die cut each of the numbers 3 times using my Big Shot and glued them together to give added dimension. I then glued them to the largest stamped Whisper White panel. The word ‘happy’ and ‘th’ were then stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black ink either side of the die cut numbers. I rounded one corner of each of the Whisper White panels and the same corners on the Lemon Lime Twist panels using the new Detailed Trio Punch. These panels were then adhered together with Tombow liquid Adhesive and added to the small Thick Whisper White panel. I then glued the 2 main panels together.

To finish off I made an envelope using my Envelope Punch Board and the gorgeous Delightful Daisy dsp which will also retire on the 31st May.

I love the bright, sunny colours used on this card. I really hope my Mum likes it.
