Supplies and Simple Directions for this Card:

Real Red cardstock cut 4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2" plus a small scrap for the tag backing.

Basic White cardstock cut 4" x 5 1/4"

Basic Black cut 3 3/4" x 5", then embossed with the Metal Plate 3D Embossing Folder 

Adhere the Basic White and Embossed Basic Black layers together.

Additional piece of Basic White cardstock to stamp the mugs of 

root beer, the foam topper, and the sentiment tag - size 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"

Stamp the mugs in Pebbled Path ink

Use Pecan Pie ink for the root beer in the mugs and the bubbly foam toppers. Die cut those out and scotch tape the foam behind the mug. Start at the top and proceed downward by using Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue to glue the mug/foam combo to the embossed layer.

When all the mugs have dried well to the embossed layer, then use a narrow ribbon of your choice and wrap around the white/black layers. (I used a retired copper ribbon from the Basket Weave & Metallic Ribbon Pack from several years ago.)

 Cut 9/16" x 2 3/8" Basic White cardstock for tag, then stamp sentiment in Real Red ink.

Adhere tag to scrap of Real Red cardstock and fussy cut a narrow margin around the edges. Use 2 or 3 large dimensionals to place the tag at an angle. 

Using more large dimensionals, adhere the white/black/mug layers to the Real Red card base. 

Add two copper Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins in the upper right corner.

For the Inner Card Layers:

Basic Black cardstock 4" x 5 1/4"

Basic White cardstock 3 3/4" x 5"

Stamp in Real Red ink the "Oh, Ale Yea!"

Use the tiny bubbles stamp with Pebbled Path ink to decorate the corners.

Then adhere these two layers together and place inside the card. 

Finish by decorating your Basic White Medium Envelope flap with a 2 3/8" x 6" Real Red piece of

the 6"x6" Designer Series Paper in Brights. Adhere then trim off excess.

This photo demonstrates how the card stands.

 

Here's the look of the inner layer and the decorated envelope flap.

I encourage you to give this layout a try. I enjoyed creating it for you.

You Will be able to Make this Holiday Side Step Fun Fold Card with the Trucking Along Bundle and the Soon To Be Available Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper Real Soon!

My preorder for the Sept.- Dec. 2023 Mini Catalog arrived a couple days ago. (This is one of the perks of being a demonstrator, you can get products a month ahead of the catalog release.) 

My focus this week has been the Trucking Along Bundle and when I saw up close the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP) in my order, I knew I had to make a Christmas Card to share with all of you!

I present to you this Side Step Fun Fold Card using the color combination of Real Red and Shaded Spruce with the Joy of Christmas DSP, the Trucking Along Bundle, and another new stamp set called Sending Cheer (that's where the greeting came from on the card front. )

In addition I used the Nested Essential Dies and Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels, too.

I just LOVE the combination of the two patterns from the Joy of Christmas DSP.

My hubby drives a red Ford pickup, so it was natural to make this card with a Real Red truck.

The Side Step Fun Fold is actually two pieces of cardstock that makes the card base.

For the Base - Shaded Spruce cut 5 1/2" x 8", scored at 3", 6", 7"

Joy of Christmas DSP - Green Plaid - 2 7/8" x 5 3/8" and 7/8" x 5 3/8"

Adhere these pieces to base.

For the additional Front Piece - Shaded Spruce cut 3" x 6", score at 4 1/4"

Joy of Christmas DSP - Leaves and Berries cut 2 7/8" x 4 1/8"

Adhere DSP to Front piece.

To attach both pieces together, put adhesive on the inside bottom of the front piece only 1/2" wide. Then place bottom of adhesive to line up with bottom of base about 1/2" in from the left edge.

Close the card completely flat then adhere the other end of the front piece with only 1/4" wide amount of adhesive and press to back of card. The Basic White greeting section will be added later.

What is hard to see is I stamped two red trucks. One on the Tag itself, so I could get the tree positioned in the bed of the truck. Then I wanted some dimension, so I stamped another red truck and used the Truck Builder punch to punch it out and raised that truck up on dimensionals. I love the result!

Truck Tag is die cut with Nested Essentials Dies

Shaded Spruce - 2 1/2" x 3 1/4"

Basic White - 2 1/2" x 3 1/4"

 Then on the Basic White tag stamp the first truck outline in Memento Ink, then use Real Red ink to stamp and fill in truck body color. 

Tree in bed of truck is 2 stamps- 1) Shaded Spruce ink is stamped off once for the lighter overall tree, then 2) Outline stamp is full strength Shaded Spruce. Finish with stamping the "Sending Cheer" in upper left corner of tag at an angle in Shaded Spruce ink.

Adhere the two layers together.

On another 1 1/2" x 3" piece of Basic White stamp just the truck again - Outline in Memento, Body with Real Red ink. Use a Stampin' Write Basic Black Marker to hand color in the tires and axle.

Then punch truck out with Truck Builder Punch. 

Affix this truck on dimensionals and place it on top of the previous truck image.

To affix tag to card front you will place several dimensionals along the bottom and left side of the tag and place it on the card base referring to photo placement.

For Back of Card - Basic White 2 7/8" x 5 3/8" 

Joy of Christmas DSP - Leaves and Berries 1/2" x 5 3/8"

The sentiment here is part of the Trucking Along stamp set. Stamp greeting in Real Red ink.

Adhere strip of DSP to Basic White before adhering and placing entire piece to card back.

Envelope Flap 2 3/8" x 6" from the Joy of Christmas DSP. Adhere to exterior envelope flap and trim off excess with paper snips.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope this card inspired you!

Close up of card front with the typewriter, letter, tag, and little envelope. These items were stamped and fussy cut from Thick Basic White cardstock.

In the photo above the envelope flap looks brownish to my eyes, but in real life it is Basic Black with gray polka dots. This Designer Series Paper is very retired, but you can use what you think looks good.

Stampin' Up!s Just My Type and Phrases for All Stamp Sets Combine to Make an Encouraging Card for a Dear Friend

If you are looking for an easy card to make using only 2 stamp sets, 2 inks and 4 papers card, then this layout is for you! The landscape, side fold card really packs a punch of popping color, flying envelopes, and a typewriter whose letter is already started. 

The longer saying on the card says, "sending hugs & love when words aren't enough." When I saw that saying I thought it could be used multiple ways. For example: Sympathy in the loss of a loved one, or a loved pet; receiving a shocking health diagnosis; home or car accident; a divorce; or a faraway move across the country. I am sure there are more possible reasons, but the best reason of all is to be kind to your friend who is going through a tough time in their life.

Can you imagine someone sitting down at an old fashioned typewriter and whipping out letter after letter to their friends and loved ones. I can, thus the flying envelopes all over the card front.

Color Palette:

Card base - Night of Navy

Layer 1 - Real Red

Layer 2 - Boho Blue

Layer 3 - Basic White pieces

Inner Card Layer - Basic White

Phrases for All Stamp Set

Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper

Paper Snips for fussy cutting the typewriter and envelopes out.

Close up look at the fussy cut typewriter and sheet of paper coming out of it. Here's a hint for you, leave 1/2" of extra room on the bottom of the Basic White piece you'll use for the sheet of paper. By doing so you will be able to attach the two pieces together with adhesive and scotch tape for insurance. The dimensionals that you'll need to raise the typewriter will be so easy to apply when both pieces are connected together. 

All the flying envelopes were also fussy cut out. It is so fun to arrange them how you'd like, but be sure a few edges hang off the designer paper so you can trim prior to mounting the DSP layer on the Real Red layer.

Inside Layer Peek - 6 Boho Blue stamped envelope images in a border effect. Lots of room left to write your personal message, which I'm sure your friend would appreciate.

It is a good idea to have a matching envelope, so another pattern from the Countryside Inn Designer Series paper works nicely on the exterior envelope flap.

Stamp Your Own One Sheet Wonder Paper Using Stampin' Up!s Share a Milkshake Stamp Set with Patriotic Colors

 I was showing my husband the two cards I’d made with the Share a Milkshake Stamp Set recently – the Pretty Peacock Book Fun Fold Card and the Berry Burst/Bubble Bath Gate Fun Fold Card with Mega Belly Band, and he said, “Those look great, but what about a 4^th of July card using this set?”

So, I took that as a personal challenge and wanted to see what I could fairly create quickly. Then the 4 piece One Sheet Wonder technique popped in my head. You can make four cards quickly from one sheet of 8 ½” x 11” Basic White Cardstock. Then I wondered what the cards would look like if I used the Share a Milkshake stamp set and some Patriotic ink colors. So, I decided to give it a try!

The other cool thing about this One Sheet Wonder technique is it only uses stamps, ink and paper (cardstock) which we, Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators call SIP cards. Yes, I did add some embellishments at the end, but you don’t have too. The nice thing about SIP cards is they lie flat and are easy to send through the mail. No postage due with these cards.

After I finished stamping the radiating design, I have to say I am very happy with how the finished cards look. I hope you’ll agree that it is worth trying this technique with any stamp set you own. Until trying it myself, I hadn’t seen this technique done in anything other than floral and greenery stamps. 

Shake a Milkshake Stamp Set is so much fun!!!

It is very easy to do this technique. Gather your 8 ½” x 11” Basic White Cardstock, a pencil, ruler, the ink colors you want to use, the stamp set and clear stamp blocks.

On the sheet of cardstock, you will make 2 tick marks on each long side at 5 ½” and repeat with 2 more tick marks on each short side at 4 ¼”. Connect the long side tick marks, then the short side tick marks with a lightly drawn pencil line creating four quadrants on the paper.

The ink colors I used were Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, and Sweet Sorbet for the reds. For the blues I used Boho Blue, Azure Afternoon, and Blueberry Bushel.

Using my photos as reference you will start at the intersection of lines in the middle of the Basic White cardstock, and stamp your images, some on each side of the lines and other images straddling the lines. Then each stamped image that follows will be stamped radiating out from the middle. I found I stamped better if I rotated the cardstock around the 4 quadrants so I could keep my hand and stamp in a comfortable position. This technique reminds me of a kaleidoscope that you might have looked through as a child.

Following the stamping of the OSW, then you can prepare the rest of the cardstock needed. I needed four 5 ½” x 8 ½” Basic White card bases, scored at 4 ¼”. For the single colored layer, I used 4” x 5 ¼” pieces of Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Azure Afternoon, and Blueberry Bushel.

Next you must cut your stamped OSW apart. Cut on the 2 pencil lines to make four pieces. Then I decided to trim off the outer edges to make the stamped layer pieces end up at 3 ¾” x 5”. By doing that, I maximized my stamped images and the design.

The next big decision to make is deciding how you want the cards to look when finished. Will you have vertical cards or horizontal cards? Which way will the stamped greeting you want to use look best? I tried holding my greeting stamp as I rotated the quarter sheet around until I liked how it looked. Then I stamped the greeting stamp in the contrasting ink color of the colored cardstock layer that be paired with that stamped layer. Even though I had 4 different layer colors, I only went with two inks – Cherry Cobbler and Blueberry Bushel. I decided those would look best.

It's fun to lay out your four cards to see the whole design again!

Following the completion of the greeting stamping, it was time to assemble the layers. The stamped layer and colored cardstock layer are adhered together. Then they are raised up on Dimensionals before placing on the card base. Next, I decided to be brave and put a little Wink of Stella light glitter pen on my ice cream scoops. I found out quickly that the Wink of Stella did make the ice cream ink run just a little bit, but I liked how it could fill in the mini circles and if I had a gap of white showing at the top of the milkshake glass. I just love some bling on my cards, so I used retired Red Rhinestones to decorate the card fronts. On the inside of the cards, I stamped the little trio of hearts in Cherry Cobbler ink. They look so cute!

Below see the four resulting cards upclose.

Last but not least is decorating your exterior Basic White Medium Envelope flap. I used both the Brights and Regals 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper stacks to coordinate a matching paper to the colored cardstock layer on each card. I like to cut my flap paper 2 3/8” x 6” to give me some wiggle room in case something moves as I am applying to the exterior flap. I trim all the excess off the flap  with paper snips and TA-DA!

You too will be so proud of your One Sheet Wonder SIP cards and want to share them with your loved ones and dear friends.

Seven Cute Stampin' Up! Snowmen Form a Winter Sampler Home Decor Piece to Share with You

Last year, a small group of my customers agreed that they wanted to make several 12" x 12" Wall Samplers that would fit in a Shadow Box Frame to use as a Home Decor item. I had lots of fun designing them from retired and current products in my stamp room.

As we got further along in the year, the group asked if they could make a couple more in 2023. I said sure! So here is our Winter Sampler we made recently. I love how it turned out and the ladies were very pleased as well. 

We started with a 12" x 12" piece of Basic White cardstock.

The measurements for the six squares were Pool Party Cardstock at 3-1/4" square, and retired Let it Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) 3" square. The middle section was Pool Party at 3-1/4" x 10-1/4" and the Let It Snow DSP at 3" x 10". There is a 7/8" border all the way around and the squares/rectangle are spaced approximately 1/4" apart.

The Stamp Sets used were Spirited Snowmen (from 2018 Holiday catty), Snowman Season (2019 Holiday catty), and Snow Day (very old 2010 maybe?).

The bases for the stamped snowmen were made from Thick Basic White cardstock and Real Red cardstock. Retired Layering Circles Dies were used.

The assorted Snowmen were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers. The Blends colors used were Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie, Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Old Olive, and Soft Suede. The one snowman has a red felt hat and scarf that Stampin' Up! sold but I can't remember what the product name was.

The retired Large Letter Dies used more of the Let It Snow DSP to cut the word WINTER.

The Snow Day Snowman next to the WINTER word was stamped on a piece of Pool Party cardstock using White Craft Ink and a Heat Tool to speed drying. The rest of the snowman images were stamped in Real Red Ink, Pumpkin Pie ink, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and Early Espresso ink. Then the entire snowman was fussy cut out and mounted on a White Glimmer Paper Oval cut from the Layering Ovals dies and adhered directly on the base using Stampin' Seal adhesive.

All the snowmen circle pieces and letters were raised up from the square bases using Adhesive Foam Sheets (current product) cut to the needed size.

Once all the snowmen and WINTER are adhered to the base, then it is time to die cut some snowflakes from White Glimmer Paper using the retired Snowfall Dies (2018 Holiday catty). With Tombow Multipurpose Glue, adhere the snowflakes by sliding under the snowmen and WINTER as shown in the photo above. Finish your masterpiece with Red Rhinestones and Rhinestone Jewel embellishments.

Then put your Sampler in a Shadow Box Frame and you are all set for the rest of Winter!

Use Stampin' Up!s Sweetest Christmas Bundle to Create This Origami Fun Fold as One of Your Christmas Cards This Year!

Are you still needing some card ideas for Christmas to give to family and friends? Check out this darling Origami Fun Fold card that goes together very quickly using the folding diagram I've inserted below.

Ever since the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog came out, one of the first Bundles I purchased was the Sweetest Christmas Bundle. I was so wowed by the beautiful candy cane stamps that they could create two directional candy canes, that could be placed on as shown the card shown below or made into a heart. Or you could die cut or fussy cut out the candy canes that came printed on some of the Designer Series Paper pages.

The front motif is a die cut 3" Stylish Shapes Die in Real Red cardstock, the Wonderful Snowflakes and two candy canes from the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper. The ribbon I used is retired, but any white or Real Red ribbon would look just as fabulous!

Motif close-up.

Origami Fun Fold opened up. The inside of the card back has a 3" Real Red cardstock square and a 2-3/4" Basic White cardstock square adhered on top. The sentiment also came from the Sweet Candy Canes stamp set that is part of the bundle.

I hope this view also helps you to understand my folding diagram below.

Supplies Used and available at my online store link below:

Sweetest Christmas Bundle 161052 for $51.25 consisting of the Sweet Candy Canes stamp set and the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper

Stylish Shapes Dies 159183 for $30
