Gears-and-Texture-masculine-birthday-Stampin-Up

Hello and welcome to my blog!  Today I'm sharing a masculine birthday card I made with the Gears and Textures Bundle. At the end of this post is a link for you to download a free tutorial with all the instructions and measurements and, also, a video showing the construction of this card. Check it out. Links to all the supplies I used are also at the bottom. Let's look at a few details of this card.

Here is the front of the card. The card base is a 4 1/4" x 11" piece of Early Espresso cardstock.

The front piece is a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Whispers of Texture Designer Series Paper. It has a subtle texture in it that you can see in the picture above.

First, I stamped all the images from the Gears and Texture stamp set in Pecan Pie. The splatter looking dots are a stamp from Elements of Text and they were stamped in VersaMark, sprinkled with bronze embossing powder, and heated up.  I also swiped the edges with the VersaMark and heat embossed the bronze embossing powder.

Crumb Cake ink was brushed all over this piece to break the white and turn it to more of a Very Vanilla color.

To darken the edges, I brushed Early Espresso ink around the edges.

Lastly, I brushed Pecan Pie in the center of the images and randomly around. This piece was then adhered to the card base.

I cut the cogs, gears, and chains out of Earthen Metallic Specialty Paper and copper paper. I adhered them randomly on the card front.

I lightly stamped the front images, again, on the inside Very Vanilla piece, then stamped the sentiment from All Zipped Up in Early Espresso ink. This piece was cut with the largest die from Textured Notes.

Gliding Garden Swing Birthday Card

Gliding-Garden-Swing-Stampi-Up

Hello and welcome to my blog!  Today I'm sharing a cute card I made with the Gliding Garden Swing Bundle. At the end of this post is a link for you to download a free tutorial with all the instructions and measurements and, also, a video showing the construction of this card. Check it out. Links to all the supplies I used are also at the bottom. Let's look at a few details of this card.

Here is the front of the card. The card base is a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of Balmy Blue cardstock. I used a brush to randomly smear White Craft Ink to mimic some clouds in the sky.

All the leaves in the tree were cut with the dies from Gliding Garden Swing out of paper from the Nature Walk Designer Series Paper. I loved this sheet because it looked so much like leaves.

The tree, which is also a die from Gliding Garden Swing, was cut out of a sheet from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper. The piece I picked I felt was too light of a wood grain, so I brushed Early Espresso ink on the tree to darken it. The grass you see across the bottom was cut out of Garden Green cardstock with dies from Scenic Adventure.

The swing was also cut from a sheet of Country Woods Designer Series Paper. The pillows were cut from Brushed with Beauty Designer Series Paper. Both dies are from Gliding Garden Swing dies.

The inside Basic White piece was cut with the largest die from Textured Notes Dies. The Simple Birthday stamp was stamped in Garden Green ink.

Dutch-door-fold-Fragrant-Layers-Dies-Beautifully-Celebrated-Dies-Stampin-Up


Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I'm hopping with a talented group of Stamping with Friends demonstrators. I'm going to show you how to make a gorgeous Dutch-door fold card using the Fragrant Layers dies and the Beautifully Celebrated dies. Several beautiful designer series papers are also used. At the end of this post is a link for you to download a free tutorial with all the instructions and measurements and, also, a video showing the construction of this card. Check it out. Links to all the supplies I used are also at the bottom.

Here is the front of the card. From this picture it is hard to see the Dutch-fold.

The next 2 pictures show the bottom section of the card opening up. To achieve this fold, start with 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of Pool Party cardstock. Score it down the middle at 4 1/4". Next, measure 2 3/4" down on the front left side and cut to the middle score line.

The paper on the bottom front of the card is a 4" x 2 1/2" piece from Mixed Up Patterns Designer Series Paper.

The top section was embossed with the All in a Row Embossing Folder and adhered down to the card base.

The silver scalloped oval was cut out of a piece of Cloud Cover foil from Flower Garden Foil Specialty Paper with a die from Beautifully Celebrated Dies. The flower was cut with a Fragrant Layers die out of Lemon Lolly Pastels Shimmer Specialty Designer Series Paper. The Pool Party Pastel Shimmer paper is used to cut the smaller flower. The leaves are Coastal Cabana card stock.
