Quick and Easy Handmade Card Featuring Many Messages Stamp Set

Hello my crafty friends! Today I want to show you this quick and easy card using sentiments from the Many Messages Stamp Set. My card design inspiration is from a Freshly Made Sketch from a couple of weeks ago. #FMS490

The card base is a side fold, portrait A2 (8 1/2" x 11" sheet, cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4") in Polished Pink cardstock. The DSP strip is the coordinating 2021-23 in color 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, cut 1 1/2" x 5 1/2". 

The embellishment build is a super cute stitched flower and several leaves from the Pierced Blooms dies (coordinates with the In Bloom Stamp Set) set on a 2 1/4" circle. This die set is so cool! I have made multiple runs of the dies in all the 2021-23 in colors so I can mix and match up the flowers.

I stamped a panel of the Many Messages stamp using Polished Pink and had my choice of sentiments for the front of my card.

Normally I don't include an inside sentiment until I am ready to give/send my cards, but since I am featuring the Many Messages Stamp Set this month, I thought I might show off how easy it is to use this set for both the front and inside sentiments.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today!  I hope my project has inspired your creativity. Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you so I can find your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it.

April Paper Crafting Blog Hop

Hello, my crafty friends. Welcome to the April Paper Crafting Blog Hop! I am participating in this blog hop with fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators from across the globe! You might be starting the blog hop right now, or you may be coming from Maureen Rauchfuss's blog. Great project, Maureen! Welcome one and all.

The theme for this month's blog hop is "thinking of you-girls" and if you have been following my blog the last few weeks, you know that I have been featuring some of my favorite retiring product that maybe I have not shown all the LOVE they have deserved over the past (catalog) year. Today I am using the retiring Pretty Perennials Stamp Set (retires June 30) and the 2020-22 In Color Designer Series Paper (retires May 3).

The card base is a side fold, portrait A2 (8 1/2" x 11" sheet, cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4") in Magenta Madness cardstock. (Personal note: This color is really growing on me!) The second layer is the 2020-22 In Color 6" X 6" DSP (dots side) cut 4" x 5 1/4". The reverse of the 3/4" wide scrap of the DSP provides some additional dimension behind the main image.

The super cute flowers are stamped in alternating Misty Moonlight and second generation Magenta Madness; the stems and leaves are stamped in Just Jade on Basic White cardstock and trimmed with the largest rectangle die from the Stitched So Sweetly dies.

The sentiment is stamped in Magenta Madness and the "happy" sentiment is stamped in Tuxedo Black, then fussy cut and raised up on mini dimensionals (it may be hard to see this dimension in the picture).

This is a fairly simple card highlighting second generation stamping technique, masking, and fussy cutting.

So, now it is time to check out the great project by our next blog hopper, Julia Mazur.

Accessories/Tools:

NOTE: I have been ultra-conservative in my projects during these extraordinary times as so many of my customers do not have a die cutting machine so I always offer an alternative idea for any die used in my projects. 

Although I did not use the coordinating Perennial Petals Dies • Item# 154321 on this card, I did use the largest rectangle die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies • Item# 151690 so alternatively you could use a piece of Basic White cardstock, cut 3" x 4".

Don't forget to add your favorite adhesive and a new pair of paper snips for super easy fussy cutting. I recommend the new Stampin' Seal • Item# 152813 and Paper Snips • Item# 103579.

Simple Stamping Challenge Featuring Pretty Perennials Stamp Set

Hello, my crafty friends. Many of my cards this month will feature retiring stamp sets that I have not shown all the love that they have deserved over the past year. The April Simple Stamping Challenge is to create a card with stamps, ink and paper using retiring product so today's super cute and super simple card is perfect.

#simplestamping

The card base is a side fold, portrait A2 (8 1/2" x 11" sheet, cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4") in Flirty Flamingo cardstock. The first layer is Pear Pizzazz cardstock cut 4" x 5 1/4". The second layer is Basic White cut 3 3/8" x 5" and I created my own pattern paper. I randomly stamped flowers and leaf images from the Pretty Perennials Stamp Set in Bumblebee, Flirty Flamingo, Petal Pink, and Pear Pizzazz. The sentiment is stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.

Give the #simplestamping challenge a try! And, give a go at creating your own pattern paper.  

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope my project has inspired your creativity. I would love to see what you have created. Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you so I can find your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it.

Handmade Spring Card Featuring Punch Art Techniques

Hello, my crafty friends. Since it is spring, and Easter is right around the corner, it is time for a break from the string of birthday cards. I will still use the Timeless Tulips Stamp Set for the sentiment. I am in love with the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder so I want to use that on my card. I am going to use the Well Written Dies for a super cute blue bird. Check this out.

The card base is a side fold, portrait A2 (8 1/2" x 11" sheet, cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4") in Pacific Point cardstock. The first layer is the Brights DSP in Pacific Point cut 4" x 5 1/4". The second layer build begins with a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock cut 3 3/4" x 5" and the bottom is covered with a 1 1/2" strip of Soft Suede cardstock embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D EF. The top ledge of the wall is a 3/4" strip of Basic White just a tad longer than 3 3/4" to extend over the edge on both sides. The sentiment is stamped in Pacific Point.

The bunny ears were created using the Daisy Punch and the Medium Daisy Punch - super cute. The tall, leafy plants are from the Well Written Dies in Just Jade and a Small Bloom Punch flower in Daffodil Delight tucked right behind the wall. (The flower stamp is from the Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set/Bundle in the Jan-June Mini). The sun is created using the 1 1/2" Circle Punch and the sun's rays are made from a tiny star in the Stitched Stars Dies.

This was a fun card to make. I hope my project has inspired your creativity. I would love to see what you have created. Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you so I can find your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it.
