BIRD’S EYE VIEW PLAY DAY PROJECT!

 Hi, Friends,

Today I have another July Play Day project for you.  This one uses the Bird’s Eye View stamp set and Radiating Stitches Dies.  The Radiating Stitches Dies are another Online Exclusive that you won’t find in the catalog.  Go to stampinup.com and search for Online Exclusives.  Here is my card:

It is a bit different fold, the card base is 4-1/4 x 9-3/4, scored at 5-1/2, which means you can see a tiny bit of the inside when it is shut.  

MY RECIPE:

     STAMPS:  Bird’s Eye View, Best Family Ever

     CARDSTOCK:

          Crumb Cake:  4-1/4 x 9-3/4, scored at 5-1/2

     BLENDS:  Granny Apple Green, Lost Lagoon, Pebbled Path (L), Daffodil Delight (D)

     DIES:  Radiating Stitches Dies

     MISCELLANEOUS:  SU Die Cut Machine, Rhinestones, Dimensionals

And a look at the inside of the card:

I stamped the leaves in two corners of the inside panel and colored them with the Granny Apple Green Blends markers (my favorite markers).

HOW I MADE IT:

1.  Use Early Espresso ink to stamp signature stamp on back of card base.

2.  Adhere patterned paper to right side of Basic White Cardstock; adhere to Lost Lagoon Cardstock; adhere panel to inside of card base.

3.  Adhere patterned paper to Lost Lagoon Cardstock.  Adhere panel to front of card base.

4.  Stamp tree limb using Early Espresso ink; stamp leaves at end of branch using Early Espresso ink, and stamp bird on branch using Early Espresso ink on scrap of Basic White Cardstock.

5.  Cut out stamped images using die and SU Die Cut Machine.

6.  Use Early Espresso ink to stamp sentiment on upper right corner of die cut image.  Color images using markers.

7.  Adhere stamped image to Lost Lagoon Cardstock.

8.  Attach stamped panel to front of card base using dimensionals.

9.  Add rhinestones (see sample for placement).

I hope your day is filled with sunshine and a bit of time for stamping!

Happy stamping,

YOU ARE AMAZING THANK YOU CARD!

 Hi, Friends,

I have another card to share with you today!  When I received the January - June 2021 Mini Catalog, I loved the You Are Amazing Project Kit and the You are Amazing Stamp Set on p. 7!  Recently, I was in a real slump with creating anything resembling a card, and I remembered that I had this set.  I decided that I would just make up the card kit and hope that the process of assembling those cards would get me creating again.  So I pulled out the kit and started to put a card together.  I decided I really didn't like the way that the card looked the way that Stampin' Up! designed it, so remade the card.  Then, I took it a step further, and decided to make a second card with different Designer Series Paper and cardstock.  The card I am sharing today is one of those "second" cards, where I came up with a different color pallette and DSP.  If you are looking at the mini-catalog, the top left "thanks" card is the one I started with.  Anyway, here is my project:

MY RECIPE:

     STAMPS:  You Are Amazing

     CARDSTOCK:  

          Terracotta Tile:  5-1/2 x 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4

          Bumblebee:  4 x 5-1/4

          Ice Cream Corner DSP:  2-3/4 x 5-1/8

          Ice Cream Corner DSP:  1-1/4 x 5-1/8

               SCRAPS:  Whisper White, Bumblebee

               INSIDE:

                    Bumblebee:  3-3/4 x 5

                    Whisper White:  3-5/8 x 4-7/8

     INK:  Terracotta Tile

     ACCESSORIES:  Stitched Rectangles Dies, Magnetic Platform, SU Die Cut Machine, Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack, Rhinestones, Dimensionals

The inside of the card looks like this:

One of my favorite stamps in the You Are Amazing stamp set is the stars that I used on the inside of the card!  It is such a great, simple stamp to use on the inside of the card!

HOW I MADE THE CARD:

1.  Use Terracotta Tile ink to stamp signature stamp on back of card base.

2.  Stamp "stars" on the lower right corner of the inside panel, using Terracotta ink.  

3.  Adhere inside panels together; adhere to inside of card base.

4.  Adhere Designer Series Paper to Bumblebee cardstock panel.  Tie Terracotta Tile ribbon from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack at the "seam" of the DSP.  Adhere panel to front of card base.

5.  Use Terracotta Tile ink to stamp sentiment on scrap of Whisper White cardstock.  Cut out using Stitched Rectangle dies and SU Die Cut Machine.  

6.  Cut Bumblebee rectangle using Stitched Rectangle dies (the one just larger than what you used for the sentiment) and SU Die Cut Machine.

7.  Adhere sentiment die cut to Bumblebee die cut.  Attach to front of card base using dimensionals.

8.  Add rhinestones to sentiment panel (see sample for placement.  

I hope you enjoyed the project I shared with you today!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy stamping,

BEAUTIFUL AUTUMN GRATITUDE CARD PART TWO!

 Hi, Friends,

It is another beautiful sunny day today!  I hope you had an awesome Thanksgiving yesterday with lots of yummy food.  We had a good day--we ordered takeout from Crackerbarrel, ate at home and then went to the Greenway for a walk.

We got the tree up (no decorations yet) and managed to get 12 Christmas cards ready to mail.  So it was a somewhat productive day (although when I got home from our walk, I landed on the couch with my book and read to the very end).  

Anyway, I have another autumn themed project for you today!  This card uses the Beautiful Autumn stamp set and the gorgeous Gilded Autumn DSP:

     ACCESSORIES:  Stitched So Sweetly Dies, Magnetic Platform, Die Cut Machine, Basketweave Ribbon, Linen Thread, Gilded Gems, Dimensionals

The inside of the card looks like this:

I used Early Espresso ink to stamp the five leaves at the bottom of the inside panel, then colored the leaves using my Mint Macaron and Cajun Craze blends.

HOW I MADE THE CARD:

1.  Use Early Espresso ink to stamp the signature stamp on the back of the card base.

2.  Stamp the small leaves across the bottom of the inside panel using Early Espresso ink.  Color using Mint Macaron and Cajun Craze blends markers.

3.  Adhere inside panels together; adhere to inside of card base.

4.  Adhere patterned Gilded Autumn DSP to top of Mint Macaron cardstock; adhere striped Gilded Autumn DSP to the bottom portion of the Mint Macaron cardstock.  

5.  Adhere Mint Macaron Basketweave ribbon to the "seam" of the cardstock.  Tie Linen Thread around the Mint Macaron Basketweave ribbon.  

6.  Adhere the Mint Macaron layer to the Early Espresso cardstock; adhere to front of card base.

7.  Use Early Espresso ink to stamp sentiment on Crumb Cake cardstock.  

8.  Cut scalloped rectangle from Early Espresso Cardstock using Stitched So Sweetly dies and a die cut machine.  

9.  Adhere sentiment rectangle to scalloped rectangle; attach to front of card base using dimensionals.

10.  Add Gilded Gems to sentiment panel (see sample for placement).

SO SENTIMENTAL/LOVE OF LEAVES FALL CARD!

Hi, Friends,

You have no idea how frustrating it gets for me to get these blog posts created!  I can create ten cards in the amount of time it takes me to get this done!  This morning, I had issues with getting my pictures to update on the Mac; got that fixed and tried to sign in to my blog and was told that my browser didn't support blogger (yeah, I know, I don't know what that means either--give me some ink and stamps, I understand them)!  But, because I love you guys and want to try to keep you in touch with some of my projects, I presevered, managed to download and install another browser and here I am--after eating three mini-snicker bars and shedding a few tears!  But enough of that--lets get on to the fun stuff!

Here is my project for today:

 It is a simple thank you card using the So Sentimental and Love of Leaves stamp sets.  Here is the inside of the card:

I used Cajun Craze ink to stamp a leaf in the lower right corner of the inside panel.  

RECIPE:

     STAMPS:  So Sentimental, Love of Leaves

     CARDSTOCK:

          Crumb Cake:  5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored at 4-1/4

          Early Espresso:  3-5/8 x 4-7/8

          Gilded Autumn DSP:  3-1/2 x 3-1/2

          Gilded Autumn DSP  1-1/2 x 3-1/2

     SCRAPS:  Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla

     INSIDE:  

          Early Espresso:  3-3/4 x 5

          Very Vanilla:  3-5/8 x 4-7/8

     INK:  Cajun Craze, Early Espresso

     ACCESSORIES:  Stitched Shapes Dies, Layering Circles Dies, Ornate Layers Dies, Magnetic             Platform, Die Cut Machine, Dimensionals, Gilded Gems

HOW I MADE IT:

1.  Use Early Espresso ink to stamp signature stamp on back of card base.

2.  Stamp leaf on lower right corner of inside panel using Cajun Craze ink.  Adhere inside panels together; adhere to inside of card base.

3.  Adhere "leaf" DSP to top of Early Espresso panel; adhere "striped" DSP to bottom of Early Espresso panel.

4.  Cut stitched rectangle from Cajun Craze cardstock using Die Cut machine and Ornate Layers Die.  Adhere rectangle to "seam" of DSP on Early Espresso panel.  The rectangle should overlap the panel on each side.

5.  Adhere the DSP panel to front of card base.

6.  Use Early Espresso ink to stamp sentiment on scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock.  Cut out using die from Stitched Shapes Dies and Die Cut machine.

7.  Cut out scallop circle from Early Espresso cardstock using Circles Layering Dies and Die Cut machine.

8.  Adhere sentiment circle to scallop circle.  Attach to front of card base using dimensionals.  See sample for placement.  

9.  Adhere Gilded Gems to Cajun Craze rectangle.  See sample for placement.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you enjoyed my project and that you can take time for some stamping or papercrafting today!

ORNATE LAYERS PRIZED PEONY THANKS!

Hi, Friends,

I still have a few cards to share with you that I have made with the Peony Garden Suite.  This bundle with all of the coordinating products is amazing, and one of my personal favorites!  Here is today's project:

This is another project where I have colored the DSP I used in the background.  I simply colored the blooms with the Light Petal Pink Blends.  The light on the picture below is not the best, but it gives you an idea of the way the DSP looks after it has been colored and before the rest of the layers are added!

MY RECIPE:

STAMPS:  Prized Peony, Garden Shed

CARDSTOCK:
     Petal Pink:  5-1/2 x 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4
     Gray Granite:  4 x 5-1/4
     Peony Garden DSP:  3-7/8 x 5-1/8
          SCRAPS:  Whisper White
               INSIDE: 
                    Gray Granite:  3-3/4 x 5
                    Whisper White:  3-5/8 x 4-7/8

INK:  Gray Granite

BLENDS:  Petal Pink, Old Olive (L), Daffodil Delight (D)

ACCESSORIES:  Peony Dies, Ornate Layers Dies, Magnetic Platform, Big Shot, Wink of Stella, Pearls, Dimensionals

The Ornate Layers Die makes the card look much harder than it is; with all of the decorative holes and swirls, it adds much to the card!  The inside of the card is simple:

HOW I MADE IT:

1.  Use scoreboard to score the card base at 4-1/4.  Fold the card; burnish the fold with a bone folder for an awesome crease.

2.  Use Gray Granite ink to stamp signature stamp on back of card base.

3.  Stamp small flower image on lower right corner of inside panel.  Color using markers.

4.  Adhere inside card panels together; adhere to inside of card base.

5.  Use markers to color Peony Garden DSP.  Adhere to Gray Granite cardstock.  Adhere to front of card base.

6.  Cut Ornate Layers Die Cut from scrap of Whisper White cardstock using die and Big Shot.

7.  Stamp sentiment on lower right corner of die cut using Gray Granite ink.

8.  Adhere die cut to front of card base.

9.  Use Gray Granite ink to stamp large flower image on scrap of Whisper White cardstock.  Color using markers.  Cut out using Peony Dies and Big Shot.  Attach to card front using dimensionals.

10.  Use Wink of Stella to add shimmer to die cut flower.

11.  Add small pearls to either side of sentiment.  See sample for placement.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!  I hope you are not getting tired of the Prized Peony projects, because I still have a couple to share with you.

Be sure to make a card and send it to someone special today!

Happy stamping,

Double Wonder Group Three!

Hi, Friends,
I certainly had fun yesterday—I signed up for an online card class put on by two Stampin’ Up! Demos.  They had several different classes but my favorite was the Mystery Stamping.  They gave us a few directions, then said to make a card and post it.  It was fun to see how different people used the same directions to make such different cards!  I have posted a Mystery Stamping Challenge on my Facebook Business Page—Linda’s Paper Sunshine—so come join us.  The first time can be a bit intimidating, but just relax and enjoy.  It was hard for me the first time I tried it, too, but it is good to stretch yourself a bit.  If we have three or more people participate I will randomly draw a name to receive a special prize (I love to give prizes)!

Today, I want to share with you the last group of four cards from the Double Wonder card set.  Here is a picture of the group:

These cards are actually a fun fold; it is a regular 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 card scored at 4-1/4, then scored at 1-1/4 and folded back to the front.  You can either leave the little flap loose, or you can adhere it down; I chose to adhere it to the card front.  This group of cards uses the 1" x 5-1/4" strips from the middle section of the cutting guide.  The shorter strip at the bottom is used on Group Two of the cards.  

Decide how you want to use the strips on the cards; after you have divided them out, one strip is adhered to the inside of the card base, a second strip is adhered to the 1-1/4" panel that has been folded back onto the card front.  I have taken a couple of pictures of the card standing up so you can see what it looks like:

and a second picture of the card standing up:

I have pictures of each of the cards and will give you dimensions for each card.

Double Wonder—Second Group!

Hi, Crafty Friends,

Hope you guys are all doing well!  I miss all my crafting friends and can hardly wait until we can have in person events again!  But, until then, I am trying to work on ideas to share as much as possible with you online!  The Double Wonder is a fun way to make several cards.  I cut my Designer Series Paper (DSP) up according to the cutting guide (found in my May 12, 2020 post), then made a group of cards (the set of four that is the same design, like I am showing you today) each day.  But if you are a fast stamper, you could do the whole thing at one setting.  I probably tend to overthink everything!

Today, I am sharing with you the second group of cards from my Double Wonder.

This group uses the same basic items as the first group I shared.  The sentiments came from four stamp sets:  SO SENTIMENTAL, HEALING HUGS, ROOTED IN NATURE, and SERIOUSLY THE BEST (this one is retiring, so if you like it order it soon).  I also used the same basic colors of cardstock and ink:  Crumb Cake, Petal Pink, Mossy Meadow cardstock, and Mossy Meadow and Soft Suede ink.  

The DSP pieces I used on this group of cards is on the top left side of the cutting guide.  You should have four pieces that measure 2-1/4 x 3-1/2.  I turned them over so that I had one of each pattern to make these four cards, then determined my colors from there.

The instructions I was following called for this group to be TWO cards.  She used two pieces of the DSP, one at the top, one at the bottom, and had a short, thin piece of DSP separating the two (I used one of the short pieces on the card with the Petal Pink card base with the Hello Friend Sentiment).  The other thin strip was the only piece from the DSP that I did not use.  I revised the card a bit, and used only one of the 2-1/4 x 3-1/2 pieces of DSP on each card, meaning that I could make four cards instead of two!  So do it either way you like, making two cards or four cards!

My Basic Cutting Instructions for this group of cards:

CARD BASE:  5-1/2 X 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4

BACK PANEL:  3-5/8 x 4-7/8

TOP SOLID PANEL:  3-1/2 x 3-1/2

DSP PANEL:  2-1/4 x 3-1/2 (from pieces you have already cut with cutting guide)

SCRAPS:  to cut out sentiment, scalloped circle and leaves

INSIDE COLORED CARDSTOCK:  3-3/4 x 5

ACCESSORIES:  Stitched Shapes Dies, Layering Circles Dies, Birthday Dies (retired), Magnetic Platform, Big Shot, Burlap Ribbon, Dimensionals, Rhinestones, Glue Dots

I used Soft Suede ink to stamp the small flower on the inside lower right of the card, then colored it using the Petal Pink and Mossy Meadow markers.  The Soft Suede ink did not run, and it made the flower look softer, more like the flowers in the DSP.

I sure hope you enjoyed these projects!  I hope you will use the cutting guide, Julie's directions, and my directions to make a Double Wonder card set of your own!  Hopefully tomorrow I will post the third set of three cards, and Sunday or Monday I will post the bonus card!

Stay safe and sane (stamping and sending cards helps)!

Happy stamping,

Linda
