Introducing the Wisteria Wishes Stamp Set

 Have you ever grown Wisteria? I haven't, but I have always admired those that can. So when Stampin' Up! placed the Wisteria Wishes stamp set in the new Annual Catalog, I had to get it. That way I can "grow' some beautiful Wisteria cards instead! You can "grow" some too!

Cutting and Assembly Directions:

1. Basic White cardbase 5.5" x 8.5" scored at 4.25"

2. 4" x 5.25" Gorgeous Grape cardstock embossed with the Pretty Flowers folder. Adhere to cardbase.

3. Die Cut Basic White cardstock 3.5" x 4.25" with Scalloped Contour Die as shown. 

4. With Pear Pizzazz ink stamp branch.

4. With Highland Heather ink stamp triple flower stamp.

5. With Gorgeous Grape ink stamp triple flower stamp over just a smidge.

6. With Memento ink stamp greeting.

7. With Dimensionals raise Scalloped stamped layer on Gorgeous Grape layer.

8. Add gold bow and butterfly

9. Decorate envelope flap with 2-3/8" x 6" piece of matching Designer Series Paper.

One thing I learned is you have to pay attention to stamp the leaf branch so the wisteria stems hang vertically. Stamp  the triple floral image first in Highland Heather, then again moved just a bit to the right in Gorgeous Grape ink.

Bring on Winter with this Snowflake Ornament Card

Christmas card sending season is coming quickly. Here’s another easy idea to make with similar supplies you may have in your collection, if you don’t already have the Textures and Frames Sale-A-Bration stamp set or Peaceful Prints Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper.  You may find people selling these items on Etsy or Ebay as two places to check.

Ornament portion of card cased from Kathryn Brown. Rest is my design.

Products Used in creating this Card:

Basic Black cardstock cardbase

Bsaic White cardstock layer

Recently Retired - Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper layer 

Black and White 1/4" Gingham Ribbon

Basic Black cardstock layer

Bsaic White cardstock layer

Recently Retired - Textures and Frames Sale-a-Bration stamp set - 

Circle image stamped in Real Red ink

Gold heat embossed Ornament Hanger comes from Retired Embellished Ornaments stamp set

White heat embossed Snowflake comes from  Retired Stitched with Cheer stamp set

Christmas Wishes greeting comes from Banner Year stamp set

Gold Embossing Powder

White Embossing Powder

Versamark ink

Heat Tool

Memento Tuxedo Black ink

Retired Fine Gold Braid Thread

Here’s a close up of the fun stamped and embossed "Ornament.". If you don’t have the stamp set, but have similar materials, one trick you could try is take some scrap cardstock, then punch or die cut a similar size circle in it and use it as a stencil to sponge dauber your ink through to create a round ornament. Any snowflake stamp you own that would fit inside your circle would be just fine to heat emboss with the white embossing powder. Try some different combinations for yourself! That’s the fun of being creative. Seeing what results from the ideas you have in your head!

Pick a Punch Holiday Banner Card

Here's an incredibly easy holiday card you can make using any holiday paper you have on hand. This card was cased from www.happystampin.nl.  I used the Pick A Banner Punch from Stampin' Up! All I had to do was slice 1/2" strips of the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper, then punch the banner end and then snip to the length. I wanted on the raised layer of Whisper White cardstock. You can't see it here in the photo, but I used mini-dimensionals to raise the banner ends up a bit to give a "flying in the wind" effect. Then I wrapped the gold cord around the layer twice, tied a knot, then tied a bow. I recommend that you tie a knot at the end of the cord when you cut it to keep it from fraying. Any holiday greeting stamp can be used, but I used the Wrapped in Christmas stamp set and Mossy Meadow ink.

Original Valentine

This elegant Valentine's card was an experiment with an assortment of products I had on hand. Some are retired and some came from the January 2017 Paper Pumpkin subscription kit leftovers I still had. The color scheme was Powder Pink and Rose Red cardstocks, paired with Gold Foil and Gold metallic thread.  Thanks for taking a look. Hope the layout inspires you!

July Club Card #1 - an Original

This was a fun card to design. I used two new stamp sets - Remarkable You (Calla) and Watercolor Words. The new Brick Embossing Folder was fun to work with too on the Big Shot with the lighter weight Whisper White. I used the Oval Framelits to cut out the lightweight Whisper White cardstock, which were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink for the images. I used Crushed Curry and Pear Pizazz to color the stem and stamens. Then I traced the outer edge of the same framelits and cut out the English Garden Designer Series Paper by hand to mount the stamped images on.

I used the new heavier weight Whisper White to make the card base. Cut the sheet lengthwise at 4.25". I scored the paper at 1", 2", and 6.5". Then I glued on the two pieces of embossed bricks on. Then I used Dimensionals to raise the ovals off of the bricks. The only tricky part is to have an envelope near by so you can place the calla oval exactly where it needs to go, so it will fit in the envelope all folded up!  The bee was fussy cut out of the English Garden DSP and then the new Gold Metallic Thread was looped around the bee back multiple times with the help of a glue dot or two to hold it in place. Then the bee and thread were mounted on the card with another Dimensional.

Classy and simple, I just love it! Thanks for taking a look!
