June Stamp and Chat Class Card + Favor Box

Do you ever have something catch your eye, then you have to go find out what it is, and then purchase it? That is what happened to me with the Split Card Textures Dies. I started noticing other demonstrators using using them in their card creations and I had to get my own set. They were hiding in the 2022-23 Annual Catalog and I'd never noticed them! 

This original card was a popular card this past weekend at my Stamp and Chat classes. 

It is very easy to make with only 5 cardstock pieces, plus ribbon and embellishments.

Start with Evening Evergreen cardstock base cut at 5.5" x 8.5", scored at 4.25". Add inside layer of Basic White cut 4" x 5.25" for handwritten message.

Retired – Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper (Sale-A- Bration freebie) but you can substitute whatever you think looks best from your stash of Designer Series Papers. Cut 4" x 5.25", then die cut with Split Card Texture die. Glue down to card front.

Pale Papaya cardstock cut at 3.25" x 4.25" and die cut with Scalloped Contours Die.

Stamp greeting from Happiness Abounds stamp set with Evening Evergreen ink near bottom of Pale Papaya piece.

Wrap a 5" piece of Evening Evergreen Organza ribbon around top of Pale Papaya layer. Secure with scotch tape on reverse side. Adhere Pale Papaya layer flat to card front as shown in photo.

Basic White cardstock cut 3" x 4", stamped in Memento Ink with Hand Penned Petals stamp set image. Die Cut out and affix with dimensionals to card front as shown in photo.

Add Evening Evergreen ribbon bow, glue dotted down as shown. Add bling of your choice.

Every time I hold card classes in my home I always give my stampers a little table favor. This month was a simple one created with items I already had on hand. 

The mini pizza boxes received a top layer of Strawberry Designer Series Paper then I added a Sweet Strawberry stamped in Poppy Parade and Real Red on a punched out Basic White circle. Little greeting was in Memento ink. Heart embellishment was very retired and needed to be used up. Finished circle was raised on dimensionals.

Inside the mini pizza box were two different cards that were created with extra pieces from the June 2022 Pick of the Crop Paper Pumpkin kit I had just received plus other items I had on hand.  My guests loved there treat!

Easter Card Idea with a Cute Chick

Do you have memories of watching your children or of yourself going on Easter Egg hunts as a child? I sure do of my children. They loved hunting for eggs out in our yard, but they weren't the best at sharing. We resorted to writing their names on the plastic eggs, so they could find only the ones with their name on them. That's how we could keep it fair. We often added some money in a few of the eggs and they really loved that!

 With those memories in mind, I designed this card after being inspired by Terri Gaines fun fold. It is hard to believe Easter will be here in just a few short weeks. It is April 17 this year. So at my Stamp and Chat Classes this past weekend, this is one of the Double Z with Pop Out Fun Fold cards we made.

Fun fold cased from Create with Terri Gaines - her Jan. 22, 2022 post. 

The Card base is 5.5" x 11". Score at 1.75", 3.5", 5.25" and 7".

The Designer Series Paper pieces are: 2 pieces at 1.5" x 5.25" and 1 piece 4" x 5.25"

The Pop Out is made from one piece of Basic Black cut 2.5" x 5", scored at 2.5". Two pieces of Basic White are cut 2.25" square.

I changed up her measurement just a bit. The back section of the card, I increased the Basic Black to be 2.5" square with the Basic White piece at 2.25" square, so all the squares are the same size.

Relax with In the Moment Stamp and Paper Quilt Blocks

The weekend is almost here. Will you be making room for some "Me" time in your weekend schedule? I hope so. Reading (or crafting) is such a good way to relax. We all need to relax every day to keep our sanity intact and to remain healthy and balanced. 

Today's card is my favorite of the three paper quilts I have shared with you this week. When I was playing with the Black and White (Pattern Party Designer Series Paper) 1" paper quilt squares on the 3" Basic White cardstock base, I said to myself, "What would it look like if I cut the 3" square into four 1-1/2" squares? So I did. I started to move them around trying different designs when all of a sudden this "window" arrangement came into view and I said, "That's it!" I immediately thought of the Reading Girl stamp from the In The Moment stamp set. So I set to making this card to share with you.

Production Details:

Start with a Pale Papaya cardstock base cut at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4".

Add a 4" x 5-1/4" Pale Papaya layer from the 12" x12" Hand Penned Designer Series Paper.

To build your window/seat effect:

Adhere your four windows squares to a piece of Pale Papaya 3-3/8" square. Then adhere to a 3-5/8" square of Basic Black cardstock. The window seat is a 1" strip of Basic Black that I trimmed to those diagonals at each end before it or the window was affixed to the card front. Affix it all when you are happy with your diagonals for the window seat. That helps give the card some perspective and depth.

The reading girl was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a 3" square of Basic White. She was colored with assorted color pencils and I smoothed the color out with a Blender Pen. She looks so soft and cuddly. The friendly dog and her hair received some love from some of the new Natural Tones Stampin' Blends pens. I loved having so many brown-tone shades to work with. Then I fussy cut carefully around the image and raised her up with dimensionals on the card front.

As you look at the stamp set images below you will see that I masked off the rest of the stamp so I would only have the word "Relax" stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a scrap of Basic White. I punched Relax with the Double Oval Punch. and mounted with dimensionals. The final embellishment was two Matte Black Dots.

Don't forget to add your Basic White inner card layer of 4" x 5-1/4".

Have some fun with quilting your envelope flap too. My hint is to start on one side of the flap and top fold and work your way across. You will have less piecing to do. Trim any excess hanging over.

157987 In The Moment Stamp Set $24

160940 Natural Tones Stampin' Blends  Collection $45

Now that you have seen my three paper quilt cards I hope you will really give this technique a try. It is so fun to experiment with designs and colors. The sky is the limit with what you can create!

You can order all the items at my online store in the yellow box link below. I find the fastest way to find products in my online store is to use the search feature.

Some More OnStage at Home Card Ideas

Here are two more cards my dear demo friends, Anne and Lori, shared with me. We made these together while we were at OnStage at Home in San Diego last month. 

Delicate Dahlias stamp set, with Basic White card base, Crumb Cake and Pale Papaya cardstocks, and the 3/8" Pale Papaya organza ribbon. Unfortunately, I didn't note the name of the Designer Series Paper or the stamp set name, and I don't have those in my own collection. So sorry.

Double Gate Card Fun Fold using Designer Series Paper

Old Olive card base Basic White and Crushed Curry cardstock, Beauty of the Earth DSP, Layering Circle Dies, and Encircled in Warmth stamp set in Memento Basic Black ink. 

The secret to the Double Gate Fold in the corners you trim off of the top edge, get flipped over, and glued to the bottom corners. The corner trim piece is approximately 2" from each corner.

The Double Gate Fold card is a good one to use up some of your Designer Series Paper stash.

Have fun experimenting with a variety of Designer Series Papers and see what wonderful cards result.

Happy Creating!

Lets Have Tea Time Together

"Love is a warm cup of tea," says the sentiment in the retired Tea Together stamp set. When I saw this layout by Danielle Peck, I knew I had to case it. Especially since it was a Z Fold fun fold card and it used the You're a Peach Designer Series Paper that is currently in the Annual Catalog.

I love having a cup of mint or orange spice tea when I need a little pick me up. Since we are on the last day of summer, it seems like a great way to say so long to the season until next year. 

I don't know about you, but my retired stamp sets, go months without being used, but when I saw this idea, I knew I had to find my tea stuff and make this card. 

It's so CUTE!

Of course, I was also reminded of Mrs. Potts and Chip from the Beauty and the Beast Disney animated movie. Did you think of that too?

The color theme of Calypso Coral, Pale Papaya, and Basic White plus the Designer Series Paper, just work so nicely together.

Did you know you could stamp directly on the Designer Series Paper? Isn't that a cool technique? I think it works perfectly for this card design.

On the panel behind the teapot, there is a layer of Pale Papaya and Basic White to write your personal message.  The envelope also has a decorated flap with a piece of the striped Designer Series Paper to make a finished looking set.

Products Used to Create this Z Fold Card can be purchased at my online store (link below):

Retired Tea Together Stamp Set  (could purchase on Ebay or Etsy maybe)

Retired Tea Time Dies (same note above)

Calypso Coral, Pale Papaya, and Basic White cardstock

Special Blog Hop Highlighting a Fun Fold Card

Welcome! A group of Silver level Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from across the globe have combined their incredible talents to share some Fun Folds for today's blog hop! We also are working on building our businesses by making connections with each other. It's a great group of very creative ladies. You probably know that by now since you're about half-way through the hop when you've arrived here.

However you have arrived here, either from Tricia's Stamping Creations or from one of my social media links, I'm very glad you are here to enjoy my creation! Don't forget to leave a comment, I'd love to read your thoughts about today's fun fold card.

Vertical Center Step Card

Color Theme - Misty Moonlight, Pale Papaya, Pear Pizzazz and Basic White.

f

Start with the Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set and matching Penned Flower Dies plus the Hand Penned Designer Series Paper. I make my own storage for my dies in case you were wondering.

Sneak Peek of the card inside and how the center step fun fold works.

Let's Begin Creating this Card:

Step 1: Use the template above to cut and score your 4-1/4" x 11" piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock.

Step 2: Cut your Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper as follows:

Center Piece - 2-1/8" x 4-1/2" and glue that down first.

Bottom Horizontal Piece - 7/8" x 4-1/8" glue that down next.

Two Vertical Pieces both cut 7/8" x 4-1/4" and glue those down.

Basic White Cardstock for inside card - 4" x 4-1/4" and glue down.

Step 3: With a 3/4" x 4-1/2" piece of Misty Moonlight, die cut the scallop edge treatment. Hint! Line up the straight edge with the straight edge of the 4-1/2" side. Run through die cutting machine. Affix as shown in photo.

Step 4: Using either circle punches or circle dies, select 1-1/4" and 1-3/8" circles. Stamp the get well greeting on a scrap of Basic White Cardstock. Then cut your Basic White circle, followed by a scrap of Misty Moonlight and cut that circle. Affix those two circles together. Use mini-dimensionals to affix to card front as shown.

Step 5: Cut a 12" piece of Pale Papaya 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon and wrap around center section and tie a bow as shown near the greeting.

Step 6: Making the Focal Point Floral image (Don't give up - you're almost finished!)

• You will need small pieces of Pale Papaya, Pear Pizzazz and Basic White cardstock, plus Cardstock Vellum.  
• Using the outline largest floral die cut the Pale Papaya piece. 
• With scraps of Pear Pizzazz you will cut the leaf portions again with the same die. 
• Die cut the floral image in Basic White. 
• Using the Basic White die cut, you will fit and trim the Pear Pizzazz leaf pieces into position then glue them down.  Let dry. 
• Using a Fine Tip Glue Pen, glue your Basic White floral frame to a larger piece of Vellum Cardstock. Let glue dry. When dry, carefully fussy cut around the flower edges and expose the leaves so the Pear Pizzazz will show through when you glue the layers together next. 
• Using the Fine Tip Glue Pen again glue the white and vellum layer to the papaya and pear layer. Weight with a clear stamp block to dry.

Step 7: When flower focal point is all dry. Put several mini-dimensionals on the back and attach to the center of the card as shown in the photo. Embellish with Champagne Rhinestones to complete the card.

Step 8: Cut a 2-3/8" x 6" matching piece of the Hand Penned Designer Series Paper for your envelope flap. Glue down and trim with paper snips.

Peachy Thanks with Biggest Wish

Do you love Peaches as a summer fruit? I love cutting up chunks of a ripe peach and adding it to my morning yogurt! Yum! 

At my Stamp and Chat Classes earlier this month, this was one of the cards we made using the You're a Peach Designer Series Paper. The artwork is so realistic you just want to gobble it up! It is a nice and easy card that won't cost you anymore in postage, because the gold doily is the embellishment! 

I just love the touch of the Balmy Blue inked mini flower stamp in the two corners! It's another way to help a card have some pizzazz. Just use one of the other colors in the Designer Series Paper pack and you'll be guaranteed a good looking card!
