Hey Stampin' Friends!!

Today I have the last two cards from my Painted Petals April Online Stamp Class to share with you.

Stamps: Painted Petals

Paper: Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White, Daffodil Delight

Ink: Wild Wasabi, Daffodil Delight, Wisteria Wonder

Accessories: On Film Framelits, Wisteria Chevron Ribbon, Wasabi Twine, Butterfly Punch, Rhinestone Jewels

Included in the kit:

1 - Wisteria Wonder card base

1 - Whisper White card front

1 - Daffodil Delight frame

1 - Whisper White large square

1 - Whisper White small square

1 - butterfly

3 - Rhinestone jewels

1 - Wisteria chevron ribbon

Stamp a row of Wisteria Wonder (or any light purple) dots on the bottom of the Whisper White card front. Attach the card front to the Wisteria Wonder card base.

Lay the Daffodil Delight frame on the large Whisper White square (DO NOT attach yet!). Stamp you sentiment onto the Whisper White card stock using Wisteria ink. Remove frame.

Stamp two sets of Wild Wasabi (or similar green) stems next to the sentiment.

Stamp flowers using Daffodil Delight (or any bright yellow).

Stamp an extra flower onto a scrap of Whisper White card stock and cut out. Attach with a Dimensional.

Using liquid glue, glue your frame onto your large square. You may need to trim the edges.

Using Dimensionals, attach the frame to the card front.

Place the rhinestones on the butterfly and add the butterfly with Dimensionals.

Tie the Wisteria ribbon and the twine.

And the final card in the kit:

Stamps: Painted Petals

Paper: Blackberry Bliss, Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Painted Blooms DSP

1 - Spring Flower embossed Whisper White card front

1 - Daffodil Delight label

3 - Daffodil Delight Candy Dots

1 - Blackberry Bliss ribbon

Using liquid glue (it works best on embossed paper), attach the Whisper White card front onto the Blackberry Bliss card base.

Again using liquid glue, attach the Painted Blooms DSP strip onto the embossed card front.

If you have the correct paper piercing template, pierce the Daffodil Delight label. If not, this step can be eliminated.

Stamp the gingham pattern onto the white label using Sahara Sand ink.

Stamp sentiment with Blackberry Bliss (or any dark purple) ink.

Stamp leaves using Wild Wasabi ink.

Stamp flowers with Blackberry Bliss.

Using Dimensionals, attach Whisper White label onto the Daffodil Delight label.

Again with Dimensionals, adhere Daffodil label onto card front. (You will have two layers of Dimensionals.)

Stampin' Up! Painted Petals Delightful Wild Rose

Hey Stampin' Friends!!

For today's post I have two cards from my April Painted Petals Online Class. I am loving my online classes!! I hope you will join sometime.

Stamps: Painted Petals

Paper: Whisper White, Rose Red, Painted Blooms DSP, Color Collections DSP

Ink: Rose Red, Wild Wasabi

Accessories: Circle Punches, Elegant Butterfly Punch, Itty Bitty Accents Punch, Painted Blooms Twine, Decorative Dots EF, Rhinestone Jewels, Rose Red Grosgrain Ribbon (retired)

These are the circle punches I used:

2 1/2" Wild Wasabi

2" Whisper White

1 3/4" Rose Red

Kit includes:

1 - Whisper White card base

1 - Rose Red card front

1 - Painted Blooms DSP card front

1 - Wild Wasabi circle

1 - Whisper White circle

1 - Rose Red circle

1 - Daffodil Delight butterfly

3 - Itty Bitty flowers

6 - Rhinestones

1 - Rose Red ribbon

Notice I did not include the Wasabi twine, since that was something you were supposed to purchase for the class.

This card is fairly simple to create. Attach your card fronts to the card base. 

Stamp your flower stems using Wild Wasabi ink or any green you have. 

Stamp the tulips and sentiment in Rose Red or any pink ink you have. 

Layer your circles on the card. The circle with the sentiment is attached with Dimensionals. 

Add rhinestones to your butterfly and flowers. 

Attach all pieces using Dimensionals. 

Tie your ribbon and twine and you're done!!

I love how simple and colorful this card is. And it is easy to replicate with other colors and sentiments. It would be a great layout for a birthday card.

Here is the second card in the kit:

Stamps: Painted Petals

Paper: Rose Red, Wild Wasabi, Whisper White, Painted Blooms DSP

Ink: Rose Red, Wild Wasabi, Blushing Bride, Blackberry Bliss

Accessories: Paper Doily, Circle Framelits, Circle Punch, Artisan Embellishment (Rose Red Lace), Organza Ribbon, Painted Blooms Twine, Pearl Jewels

Kit includes:

1 - Rose Red card base

1 - Wild Wasabi card front

1 - Painted Blooms DSP car front

1 - Rose Red circle

1 - Paper Doily

1 - Whisper White circle

1 - Whisper White small circle

1 - Organza ribbon

1 - Rose Red lace

3 - Pearl jewels

Layer your card fronts onto your Rose Red card base. 

Attach the Rose Red circle BEHIND the Paper Doily. Stamp your flower wreath. 

Here is the steps I used while creating my wreath:

Stamp Rose Red flowers:

Stamp Blushing Bride flowers:

Stamp Blackberry Bliss flowers:

Stamp Wild Wasabi leaves:

Remember, if you do not have these exact inks, use something similar.

Next, you will stamp three more Rose Red flowers onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock and cut them out:

Attach cut-out flowers to your wreath using Dimensionals:

Trim excess card stock:

Using Dimensionals, attach flower wreath to the paper doily. 

Stamp sentiment using Blackberry Bliss ink onto the small circle. 

Attach sentiment to the center of the flower wreath using Dimensionals. 

Add Pearl jewels to Blushing Bride flowers.

Tie Organza ribbon. Attach Rose Red lace using Glue Dots. If you have the Painted Blooms twine, attach two loops under the flower wreath using Glue Dots.

This card did not turn out how I imagined. But I grew to like it. So I kept it. It showcases a different way to use your Painted Petals stamp set. And that's always a fun thing.

Tomorrow I will share the next two cards in the Painted Petals card kit.

Stampin' Up! Basic Butterfly Swap CASE

Hi Stamping Friends!!

Tomorrow I will be participating in my first ever card swap and I'm pretty excited!! I've never actually attended any type of crafting event where there was a swap. So even though I've been a Stampin' Up! demonstrator for almost 10 years, I'm still a newbie at some things. ;)

Stamps: Butterfly Basics

Paper: Pear Pizzazz, Wisteria Wonder, Naturals, Whisper White, Blushing Bride

Ink: Pear Pizzazz, Wisteria Wonder, Blushing Bride, Baked Brown Sugar, Blackberry Bliss marker

Accessories: Butterflies Thinlits, Wisteria Chevron Ribbon, Artisan Embellishment Kit (ribbon rose), Dotted Scallop Border punch, Linen Thread, Dimensionals

I CASEd this card from one I saw on the internet. And this was my prototype card. Which means I still made some changes before I made all 10 of my swaps. I eliminated most of the Blackberry Bliss and replaced it with Wisteria Wonder. I also did not include the smaller butterfly. Not major changes, but card making is always a process for me. I may look at a card for a week and still tweak it a bit before I am satisfied.

There is a lot of stamping on this card. I did it all in steps. Here are a couple of pictures:

In order to get the sentiment in the right location, I had to stamp my flower and fern image first.

On the flower, I inked the image up with Wisteria Wonder and then colored a few spots on the stamp with the Blackberry Bliss marker before I stamped it. Giving it a kind of two-tone effect.

Here is all the stamps and ink I used to create this card:

I designed this card before "The List" came out, but there are a few retirement items on it: Dotted Scallop Border Punch, Wisteria Wonder Chevron Ribbon, Blushing Bride card stock. Make sure you order everything you want from "The List" early as quantities are limited.

Here is all my parts and pieces ready for assembling:

You can see in this picture that I changes the butterfly from Blackberry to Wisteria. I wanted him to match the ribbon better. I could have chosen to change the ribbon color, but I just LOVE the chevron ribbon. I'm hoping to order some more. It's 50% off so I better hurry!

Here are all 10 cards all most finished. Just need ribbons and butterflies:

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's crafting event. It is a fundraiser for the Vista Pregnancy Resource Center. I just have NO idea what I am going to make for 12 whole hours!!

I made a little Stampin' Up! donation gift basket for a door prize. It had three stamps sets, a pack of 12x12 DSP, Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Ribbons, Buttons, cards made by me, and a few other odds and ends:

I hope the recipient enjoys it!!

Stampin' Up! Painted Petals 1 Card 4 DSPs

Hey Stampin' Friends!!

Every month I make and send out a large amount of thank you cards. This month it's even more than usual because I decided to send a little thank you gift to all of my Sale-A-Bration customers. Because I {heart} them!!

Anyway, this month I need 50 thank you cards. When making that large of an amount, I try and keep things as simple as possible, while still adding a little "wow" factor like ribbon and/or texture. Here is my design for this month:

Stamps: Painted Petals

Paper: Whisper White, Pistachio Pudding, Painted Blooms DSP

Ink: Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Pacific Point

Accessories" Spring Flowers EF, Ornate Tag Topper Punch, Crushed Curry Baker's Twine, Pacific Point Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon (retired)

When making this many cards, I usually have to use different DSPs because I don't have enough of just one. So here is the same card with four different Designer Series Paper patterns:

The other Designer Series Paper patterns come from the All Abloom paper stack. It's fun to see how each pattern changes the look of the card. I love this Painted Petals image and sentiment. And since they are photopolymer, it makes placement so easy. I stamped 50 of these tags in no time. The size of the tag before I punched the Ornate Topper was 4" x 2".

Here are the cards all lined up in a row:

Do More of What Makes You Happy!!!

Hey Stampin' Friends!!

What is your favorite thing to stamp? I'm definitely a card girl. I started off as a die-hard scrapbooker. I switched to cards because they are faster and easier. I'll scrapbook again someday when I have more time (and less kids in the house). ;) Right now I spend about half of my life in the car driving my kids from school to practice to games to friends. You know the drill.

I know some stampers who create amazing 3-D items and treat holders. I always think I'm going to, but then I forget. I've also made a few seasonal home decor items as well. I love to take them out at holidays. Today's creation is something I get to leave out year-round.

This is the "after" photo:

Stamps: Flower Patch

Paper: Blushing Bride, Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral, Garden Green

Accessories: Blossom Punch, Pansy Punch, Petite Petals Punch, Boho Blossoms Punch, Flower Fair Framelits (leaves), Calypso Baker's Twine, Buttons & Brads (retired)

Here is what the frame looked like "before":

I loved the saying for my craft loft, but wasn't in love with the cardboard flowers. So I decided to buy it and give it some Stampin' Up! style!

To make the large paper flowers, I punched out two of each flower: Blossom, Pansy, and Petite Petals. Then I squished them all up into little "balls". 

After flattening them out, I sponged the edges of each flower using the coordinating ink. Then I layered the flowers: 2 Blossom, 2 Pansy, 2 Petite Petals and attached all the layers with a brad. I used my paper piercer to poke one hole through all the layers. To make the smaller flowers, just eliminate the larger punches.

The leaves were created with the Flower Patch stamp set and matching Flower Fair Framelits. The Flower Fair Framelits are on sale this week for only $18.71. Check out the Weekly Deals promotion on my website to order.

The hardest part about this project was trying to cover up the cardboard thing underneath. I ended up sponging some Garden Green ink over the whole thing so it would sort of blend into the background. 

I love how it all turned out. I need to keep my eyes open for more home decor items I can give some Stampin' Up! style to. :)

Yesterday I announced my April Online Stamp Class featuring the Painted Petals stamp set.
