Come Stamp With Me "Happy Spring" Cards

Today, I am starting to post cards from the Come Stamp With Me classes in March, April, May, and June.  I will continue to do this over time until they have all been posted.  The card for today's post is Spring Birds on a Branch.  I really love this card and believe it can be used for many occasions; Happy Birthday, Thinking of You, Thank You, Congratulations, Retirement, etc.

I created this card using products from the SU 2018 Occasions Catalog and the SU 2017-18 Annual Catalog.  Many of the products I used are now available in the SU 2018-19 Annual Catalog.  See the Supply List below.

 For the front of the card there are many pieces to

create this beautiful scene.  The card base is made

using SU Whisper White Thick.  The Whisper

White Embossed piece is 5 1/2 x 1 3/4 and embossed

using the Petal Pair Embossing Folder.  The blue

panel for this card was made using SU Soft Sky cardstock

which is now retired.  I would use SU Balmy Blue instead.

The panel is embossed using SU Falling Softly Embossing

Folder. 

Adhere the white embossed panel on top of the blue 

panel, there will be a small overlap.  The two panels

together should measure 5 1/2 x 4 1/4.  Take the 7" piece 

of white organza ribbon (retired), you can substitute

SU Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon or Lace Trim, adhere it

to the white and blue embossed front panel using 

mini glue dots or tape.  Adhere the panel to the front of the card.

Using SU Whisper White cardstock stamp 3 birds from the 

Petal Palette stamp set in Memento Black.  Using SU Light

Cherry Cobbler Blends and the SU Lift Off Blend, color 

the breast of the 3 birds.  Die cut them using SU

Petals and More Thinlits Dies.

The branches and flowers are die cut using SU Seasonal 

Layers Thinlits Dies.  The branches are done in 

SU Soft Suede cardstock.  The flowers are done using 

SU Shimmery White cardstock and highlighted using

SU Powder Pink and a sponge dauber.  Adhere the 

branches first, add the flowers, and then, using mini 

dimensionals adhere the 2 birds to the branches.  The 

third bird will be placed on the inside of the card,

see photo below.  

The sentiment is also done on SU Shimmery White 

cardstock about 2 1/2 x 3/4, use the 

sentiment of your choice.

This photo shows the inside of the card.  Adhere

the bird using Tombow glue.  You can make a 

fourth bird for the envelope.

I didn't use any sentiment, leaving it up 

to the participants choice.  Many people don't like 

to use sentiments on the inside of the card.  

They prefer to write their own

note to the person receiving the card.

Supplies:

Come Stamp With Me Stylish Christmas Poinsettia Card

This is the last post for the August Come Stamp With Me "Fun Techniques" class and the first Christmas card post.  I have always liked the three layer technique for cards and I hadn't seen one that was offset before.  I decided to try this style of the three layer technique and really do like it.

Normally, the three layer technique takes up the 

whole front of the card with the front of the card

acting as the last border.  Then each preceding 

layer is 1/4" smaller than the one below it.

With this offset technique, each layer is a different

size and there are three distinct borders separate

from the front of the card.  

The front of the card is embossed using 

SU Subtle Embossing Folder.  I really like

the look this gives to the card.  It adds some

subtle texture and a pop to the front of the card.

This card is made using two of the new Stampin' Up

colors; Merry Merlot and Shaded Spruce.  

To stamp the Poinsettias, I stamped off on grid paper

and then stamped on the Whisper White cardstock. I

liked the effect better than a full on stamp of the poinsettia.

Then I filled in stamping the leaves.  For the leaves,

I did stamp them using the full ink.  You can leave 

some white spaces or very lightly shade in using 

a sponge dauber and the Merry Merlot ink to fill in the blank space.

For the class, I decided to use a Shimmery White label 

for the front sentiment.  The participants liked 

that option better.  You can play with different 

color and see what happens.  I really like this

Stylish Christmas stamp set which can be found

in the Annual Catalog and is available until

at least next May.  

The silver swirls were die cut using 

SU Swirly Snowflake Dies.

This is the inside of the card.  I think it could be another

card in the making using this stamp set.  I also

did this same look for the front of the envelope.

Supplies:

Paper

Merry Merlot Cardstock – 5 ½ x 8 ½, scored @ 4 ¼ for the card base

Shaded Spruce Cardstock – 5 ¼ x 4 for the inside panel; 4 ¾ x 2 ¼, 3 ¾ x 2 ¾, & 2 3/8 x 2 3/8 for front layering panels

Shimmery White Cardstock – 4 ½ x 2, 3 ½ x 2 ½, & 2 1/8 x 2 1/8 for front layering panels; small scrap to punch scalloped oval for the front sentiment

Very Vanilla Cardstock – 5 x 3 ¾ for inside panel

Silver Foil Cardstock – 2 x 3 to die cut the 3 small scroll pieces for the front of the card

Very Vanilla Envelope

Ink

Merry Merlot

Shaded Spruce

Stamps

Stylish Christmas – to stamp Poinsettia and Leaves

Nature Sings – to stamp front sentiment

Other

Swirly Snowflake Dies to cut the small scrolls

Sponge Daubers to fill in and highlight the Shimmery White front layering panels

Rhinestones or Pearls

I hope you enjoyed seeing this card and thinking about what cards you can make to send out this Christmas or for another December holiday.   Please leave a comment if you have any questions about the card, Come Stamp With Me Classes, or how to purchase Stampin' Up products.  I hope you have a creative day.

Come Stamp With Me Dragonfly Fun Fold Card - August Fun Techniques Class

This is my third post for the CSWM August Fun Techniques Class.  I am designing a different fold technique card for each of my classes.  This card uses a pull-out fold technique that makes a fun card to open up.  This card was inspired by another demonstrator and I changed up the colors of the card.  I have lost her name and will post it if I find it as I believe it is important to credit other demonstrators and their creativity.  She also has a video showing how she created this card.

This is the front of the card.  The organza ribbon

is slid under the dragonfly and tied at the side

in a bow to hold the card closed.  You can 

eliminate the ribbon and the card will

not lay flat, it will slightly pop up, your choice.

This is how the card looks when you first

open it.  The dragonfly panel sits on top of the 

folded Whisper White inside panel.  To make the 

dragonfly panel, use a SU Whisper White 3 x 3 panel;

stamp it in SU Bermuda Bay ink using the SU Bokeh Dots

stamp set.  You will need to stamp more than once.

Then using the fern stamp from the retired SU

Butterfly Basics stamp set and SU Mint Macaron ink,

stamp randomly until you like the pattern you create. 

Remember to stamp off the edge in different spots.

Using a sponge dauber and SU Bermuda Bay ink,

edge the 3 x 3 panel.  Then adhere the 3 x 3 panel

to the 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 SU Basic Black panel, set aside.

This is the inside panel of the card when it is opened up.

To make this folded panel, cut a 6 x 5 SU Whisper White 

piece and score on the 6" side at 2 and 4; do not fold and burnish yet.

Find the mountain fold side of the piece and do the stamping.

The dragonfly is from the SU Dragonfly Dreams stamp set

 is stamped in the bottom left corner in 

SU Bermuda Bay ink.  You can also stamp the dragonfly

on the left bottom corner of your envelope.  The sentiment is

stamped in Memento Black using the SU Painted Harvest 

stamp set.  Also stamp the sentiment on the front of the card

using the sentiment from SU Dragonfly Dreams and Memento Black ink.

Now, fold and burnish the 6 x 5 panel; fold toward the left panel first, 

then fold the right panel towards the back of the middle panel.  See

the photo for how it should look.

Adhere only the left panel with the dragonfly to the inside of the card.  

The middle and right panels should be loose and unattached.  

Fold the panel down and lay the dragonfly panel on top of the right panel.  

Close the front of the card to see if your dragonfly panel 

is placed correctly and adjust before you adhere it to the folded panel.  

Once you have it where you want,

make very light pencil marks at top and bottom so you know 

where to adhere.  Only add glue to the left side of the dragonfly panel

as you don't want it stuck to the inside of the card or it won't 

pull-out, yikes.

Now, take the die cut silver foil dragonfly, place a SU dimensional on the 

back of the body and place the dragonfly on the panel with the 

front of the card closed.  That way you place the dragonfly so

it won't interfere with opening the card.  Take the 17" organza ribbon

and wrap it around the card, going under the dragonfly and tie 

a bow on the right side of the card.

Supplies:

Paper

Bermuda Bay Cardstock – 5 ½ x 8 ½, scored @ 4 ¼ for card base; the front of the card will have a 3 ¼ x 3 ¼ square cut out 

Whisper White Cardstock – 6 x 5 for inside fold, scored on the 6 side @ 2 and 4; 3 x 3 stamped with Bokeh Dots stamp in Bermuda Bay for dragonfly panel

Basic Black Cardstock – 3 ½ x 3 ½ for the dragonfly panel

Silver Foil Cardstock – 3 ½ x 3 ½ to die cut the dragonfly

Whisper White envelope

Ink

Bermuda Bay – to stamp the Bokeh Dots stamp on dragonfly panel; to stamp the dragonfly on the inside panel and envelope (optional)

Mint Macaron – to stamp the fern on the Bokeh dragonfly panel

Memento Black – to stamp the front and inside sentiments

Stamps   Other stamp options will be available

Dragonfly Dreams – to stamp the dragonfly and the front sentiment

Bokeh Dots – to stamp the dragonfly panel

Butterfly Basics (retired) – to stamp the fern on the dragonfly panel

Painted Harvest – to stamp the inside sentiment

Other

CSWM Girl on the Beach Card

Sorry, I missed last week.  Both my husband and I ended up having health issues that had to be dealt with immediately.  I was busy resting and helping my husband with his health issues.  We are back on track, through taking better care of ourselves.

This is my second post for the August Come Stamp With Me "Fun Techniques" Class.  This was a great class and we all had fun.  This card was a hit and a favorite among the participants.  A couple of them talked about framing their card and using it as a home décor item.  I love when we can find multi purposes for the cards or projects we make.   I love this card and have made it in different ways a couple of times.  I hope you enjoy it too.

This card takes me to the beach on the Oregon Coast.

I can hear the birds and smell the ocean breezes.  It

makes me happy....  This is a 5 x 7 card using SU

Whisper White ( 6 3/4 x 4 3/4) to create the beach scene.

This card is made using the SU High Tide and Beautiful You

stamp sets. The first thing I stamped was the dancing

girl from the SU Beautiful You stamp set 

in Black Memento towards the left of the card.  

I then put a paper mask over her so she stood 

on her own without taking on the background colors.

The sand dune is created using two

of the sand & grass stamps from the SU High Tide

stamp set and SU Crumb Cake.  I added more color

to create texture.  I then added the seagrass in 

SU Soft Suede, mostly stamped off for a lighter

color, although you can see where I forgot to stamp off.

Some people liked the darker seagrass and didn't stamp off.

It is so much fun when people do their own creative ideas

and share them with others.  This happens a lot in the 

Come Stamp With Me Classes.  We are all there to 

support each other, be creative, and have fun!

Next, I created the sky and sea.  First, I used a piece

of scrap paper to create a mask for the sand dunes.

Using a sponge dauber and SU Balmy Blue ink,

I lightly laid a base for the sky and sea.  Go in a

circular pattern, starting off the edge of the paper.  

Lift off the dauber in some areas, you can see

it looks like soft clouds are in the sky.

Then, I used the water stamp from the SU High Tide

stamp set and SU Coastal Cabana ink to create the sea.  

Think about creating a horizon between the sky and sea. 

Then go for it, I stamped off in some areas and stamped 

full on in order to create texture and movement of the sea.

Just play with this until you get the look you like.

Then the last thing to stamp are the birds and 

any other sentiment you want to add in SU Soft Suede.  

Then using the sponge daubers and SU Balmy Blue and Crumb Cake

inks, edge the border of the beach scene. 

Remove the mask from the dancing girl and color in her 

dress and hat using SU Stampin' Blends.  I used Flirty Flamingo

and Pineapple Punch on this card.  The class participants went

wild and there were different designs and colors on every card.  

People loved sharing their ideas and then using someone else's 

creative idea.  We had polka dots, mixed colors, one red dress and one

purple dress.  They were all awesome.  I learn so much at these classes.

Now, the fun part...using SU Alphabet Dies, create a word of 

your choice, that is 5 letters or less.  Some examples are:

Smile, Happy, Dance, Love, Hugs, Thank, and on...  

You lay out the letters across the beach scene and

cut the word out using a Big Shot machine.

Adhere the Beach Scene layer to the Balmy Blue layer.

Using SU Dimensionals place each letter back into the 

negative space on the front layer.  I love this technique

and it can be done for many different cards.  You just

create a background or scene, die cut the word, stamp 

additional words, like the "You Are Loved" on the card.

I'm thinking of creating a Christmas Card using this technique.

What ideas do you have?  I would love to hear about them.

I apologize for not having photos of the inside of the card and 

the envelope.  On the inside, I recreated the sand dunes, leaving

a spot to add a die cut Adirondack chair using SU Wood Textures DSP

 and SU Seasonal Layers Thinlits Die.  

On the envelope, I created the sand dunes again to give a 

hint of what is inside the envelope. 

Supplies:

Paper

Crumb Cake Cardstock – 7 x 10, score @ 5 for card base (5x7)

Balmy Blue Cardstock – 6 7/8 x 4 7/8; front border layer

Whisper White Cardstock – two 6 ¾ x 4 ¾; one for front layer and one for inside layer

Wood Textures DSP – 2 ¼ x 1 7/8 to die cut the Adirondack Chair for inside layer

Stamping Mask Paper – stamp and cut out the dancing woman to use as a mask for the front layer

Scrap Paper to use as a mask for the sky and sea

5 x 7 envelope

 Ink

Memento Black to stamp dancing woman

Crumb Cake to stamp the sand dune and edge the panel

Soft Suede to stamp grass on the sand dune (stamp off); full color for the birds and sentiments on the front and inside (optional)

Balmy Blue to add the sky and base of sea, using a sponge dauber and to edge the front panel

Coastal Cabana to stamp in the sea, some stamped off and some full

Stampin’ Blends – Pineapple Punch for the hat on the woman with the Calypso Coral dress; Mango Melody for the hat with the Flirty Flamingo dress

Stamps

Blossoming Basket – “You Are Loved” Sentiment and Make A Difference – “Birthday”; there will be other options for you to select

Other

Alphabet Dies – to die cut word options; Happy, Smile, Thank, Dance, Hello, Life, Love, Hugs, or other 3-5 letter words.

Please make a comment if you have any questions about the card, Come Stamp With Me Classes, or how to order Stampin' Up products.  Have a creative day!

Come Stamp With Me - Animal Outing Puzzle Piece Card

Sorry, I missed my Thursday post.  This was due to a power outage right in the middle of creating my post.  Then, life was already scheduled and I didn't have time to come back to finish the post until today.  I hope you see this post and enjoy.

This is the first post for the August Come Stamp With Me Fun Techniques Class.  When I first saw the Animal Outing Stamp Set in April at the SU Regionals in Las Vegas, I fell in love with this stamp set.  This is the second card I have made using this stamp set for the Come Stamp With Me Classes.  I will post a photo below of the first Animal Outing card I made.  The first card "Wild About You" focused on the SU Animal Outing Stamp Set and the Animal Friends Thinlit Dies.  The Puzzle Piece  card took a different approach and focused on the Animal Expedition DSP.  There are so many different ways to use all the Animal Outing products.  They can be used for: birthdays, welcoming new baby's, friendship, congratulations, thank you, friendship, etc.  The ideas and possibilities are endless.

This is the card I designed for the June 2018 Come Stamp With Me class.  

Everyone fell in love with the stamp set.  There was a great

debate about which animal was the favorite.  Quite

frankly, I love them all.

 The sky was lightly colored in using a sponge dauber and 

SU Balmy Blue ink.  

The grass was a separate piece

randomly cut out and using a sponge dauber with

SU So Saffron, Lemon Lime Twist, and Old Olive inks

to create the grassy knoll.

The ground was a separate piece using

the SU Swirly Scribbles dies to cut the slope.

It was colored in using SU Crumb Cake and Soft Suede Inks

with a sponge dauber.

All the animals were stamped on Whisper White and 

then die cut, including the frog on the branch.

The Rhino was stamped in SU Basic Gray and colored

in using the SU Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends and 

Bermuda Bay and Daffodil Delight Blends for the bird.

The Giraffe was stamped in SU Crumb Cake ink

and colored in using the Stampin' Blends of Daffodil 

Delight, Pineapple Punch, and Soft Suede.

The Kangaroo and Koala were stamped in SU

Soft Suede and colored in using Crumb Cake 

for the Kangaroo and Smoky Slate for the Koala.

This is the inside of the card made in June.  I 

love this frog on the branch.  This was stamped

in Memento Black and die cut. The frog and leaves 

were colored in using SU Old Olive Stampin' Blends and 

the branch with Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends.  This 

is a fun card to make.  

And now, the card we made

in August.

This is a photo of both options for the card;

many people chose to make both.  The

design is the same, using different pieces

of the Animal Expedition DSP and different

color choices.  I love them both.

The card is a 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 using SU 

Whisper White Thick for the card base.

The front background is stamped in SU

Crumb Cake ink on both cards using

SU Touches of Textures Stamp Set.

The front panel is SU Shaded Spruce and Berry Burst.

The scalloped circle is Shaded Spruce with

a Whisper White Puzzle Heart for the sentiment.

The front panel on this card is SU Lemon Lime Twist 

and Poppy Parade.  The scalloped circle is Lemon Lime Twist.

To make the Puzzle piece front panel cut a 

3 1/2 x 3 1/2 piece of SU Whisper White Thick

cardstock and your choice of the 

Animal Expedition DSP.  Adhere the DSP

to the Whisper White Thick piece.  Using 

the Puzzle Pieces Dies cut this going only once through the 

Big Shot; don't come back, only one way!

This way the puzzle stays together.  If you want 

it to fall apart, then you will need to go through 

more than once.  I would only do this for 

someone who loves to put together puzzles.

Make the front layer panel and adhere to 

the front of the card.

For the Puzzle Heart, this will come apart and 

you will then adhere it to the front of 

the scalloped circle piece.  Then using SU

dimensionals adhere to the front panel of the card.

I don't have photos of the inside of the card or the envelope;

I did die cut some of the Animal Expedition DSP and 

adhered 3 cut pieces to the inside of the card

and the front of the envelope in a random 

pattern.  And since the DSP is double sided, I 

flipped some of the pieces to give a different look.

Supplies:

Paper

Whisper White Thick Cardstock – 4 ½ x 9, scored @ 4 ½ for the card base; 3 ½ x 3 ½ to place DSP on and die cut for the puzzle piece layer

Come Stamp With Me - Mini Silver Gable Gift Box Project

This is the last post for the July Come Stamp With Me Special Occasion Class.  I am a day late due to many conflicts and problems with saving the original post.  The Mini Gable Box used in this project comes in both Silver and Lustrous White.  The decorated Box can be used for a gift card, a small gift, special notes, or small treats.  It can be decorated however you like; let your creativity imagine what you can do using this as a sample.  This project is decorated to go along with the theme of Special Occasion Cards.  Below are photos of the two options offered in the class and the Supply List.

This photo shows the front of each Mini Gable

Gift Box.  The box on the left is for an engagement,

wedding shower, or wedding gift.  The box on the 

right is more general and can be used for most

special occasions.

This photo shows the back of each box using a 

different decoration.

This photo shows a closer view of the front of 

the gift box.  The flowers are stamped using 

SU Petal Palette and die cut using the Petals &

More Thinlits to die cut them.  The flowers are 

colored using SU Stampin' Blends - Petal Pink,

Light & Dark for the flowers and Old Olive,

Light & Dark for the leaves.

The Whisper White sentiment piece and the 

Grapefruit Grove & Powder Pink hearts 

are die cut using the Stitched Labels Framelits.

This is the back of the same box, again using the

large floral corner and 2 small floral sprigs.  The

silver ornamental piece used on the front and back

of the gift box is made with SU Silver Foil Paper

and die cut using the Petal & More Thinlits.

This is the front of the second option for the box.

The paper used to decorate both boxes is

SU Petal Promenade DSP.  One piece is cut at 

6 3/4 x 2, scored @ 1/4, 4 1/2, & 6 1/2.  The

1/4 tab on each end is meant to overlap the 

edge.  The second piece of DSP is cut at 6 x 2,

scored @ 4.  This piece is adhered starting at

the corner of the 1/4 overlap, then goes around

the side and to the second 1/4 overlap, which

gives the appearance of a seamless piece of paper.

This is the back of the second gift box, decorated 

using the silver ornamental piece and the two

small flower sprigs.  The flowers on this box are 

colored using SU Stampin' Blends Lovely Lipstick,

Light & Dark for the flowers and Old Olive,

Light & Dark for the leaves.

What ideas do you have for decorating the Mini Gable Box?

Think about special occasions and holidays; or just 

because you want someone to know you care.  Have Fun!!

Floral Sympathy or Wedding Special Occasion Card

This is the third card from the July Come Stamp With Me Special Occasions Card Class.  This card like all the other cards from this class can be used for a variety of special occasions; birthday, retirement, anniversary, wedding, sympathy, thinking of you, thank you, friend, etc.  Let your creative mind think of all the possibilities you can create.  I encourage people to use my card designs for inspiration and then make changes to make it your own design.  I was actually inspired by Mikela, another Demonstrator for this card.  I made only a few changes to her card.  Or you can use my samples and instructions to make the same card.  What is most important is to have fun and be creative.  Enjoy!

When Stampin' Up introduced their new color

revamp in June, I fell in love with Soft Sea Foam,

which is the card base for this card.  It is a very

soft green shade and hard to see in photos. The 

sentiment layer is die cut with the Petals & More Dies

using SU Shimmery White cardstock. 

The sentiment option, Congratulations, can be 

used for many different occasions; graduation,

promotion, new job, engagement, or any of the 

occasions mentioned above.

The right corner of both cards are made using 

SU Shimmery White cardstock and SU Springtime

Die Cuts.  It is adhered to the card using a 

Tombow Mini Dot runner.  The flowers are

die cut from the Springtime floral corner

using SU Flirty Flamingo and SU Powder Pink

cardstock.  The leaves are punched with the

Leaf Punch using SU Soft Sea Foam cardstock (2)

and SU Vellum paper (3).  The card is further

enhanced by using SU Artisan Pearls.

This is the inside of the card with 1 vellum leaf, 1 

flirty flamingo flower, and 1 powder pink flower.

There is no inside sentiment to leave the option open

for you to decide if you want a sentiment or want it

blank to write a special message.
