Light The Year - Fall Card

The new Holiday (September through December) Mini catalog is launching next week for everyone, and I couldn’t be more excited to share a beautiful fall themed card project with you.  There wasn’t a ton of fall stamp and die sets this year in the catalog but I’m told there is more to come online with Stampin’ Up! Very soon.

Measurements:

·        Base of card in Basic Beige, folded 4 ¼ x 5 ½, unfolded 11 x 4 ¼ , scored in the middle at 5 ½

·        Layer 1 – early espresso, cut to 4 1/8 x 5 3/8

·        Layer 2 – gold foil specialty card stock, cut to 4 x 5 ¼

·        Layer 3 – Very Vanilla thick card stock, cut to 3 x 5, embossed using Changing Leaves folder

·        Layer 4 – Country Woods DSP, cut to 3 7/8 x 5 1/8

·        Inside layer is Very Vanilla thick card stock, cut to 4 x 5 ¼

Techniques:

·        Lanterns were made using window sheets and the brown saddle StazOn and then embellished with copper enamel effects drops.

·        Leaves were made by taking very vanilla card stock, and spraying one sheet with blackberry bliss, crushed curry, and cajun craze.  Take another sheet of very vanilla card stock, and spray crushed curry and mossy meadow.  Die cut the leaves using the Autumn Expressions and Encircled in Nature dies.

·        Sentiment on the front was stamped and die cut from the Wonderful Thoughts set, used early espresso.

·        Sentiment on the inside was stamped with the Autumn Expressions in Early Espresso and then the leaf was brushed with crushed curry and cajun craze.

Take to the Sky Suite - Sneak Peek

Hey there my crafty friends! I have a very exciting sneak peek for you here today, from Stampin’ Up’s new annual 2024-2025 Catalog! I think this one has to be my favorite from the new catalog actually - it’s called the Take to the Sky suite collection. As soon as I had seen it at on Onstage 2024 the other week I knew I had to have it, and already had the inspiration to make a birthday card for my husband. This stamp and die set, which is called Adventurous Sky, including the designer series paper which is called Take to the Sky, all works beautifully for a more masculine type card.

I will be publishing a YouTube video very soon, within the next day or two, to show you how I exactly made this very handsome card. You will be able to purchase this suite, bundle and/or DSP as a demonstrator on April 2nd or as customer you can purchase on May 1st. Because the catalog has not been officially published yet for customers, I am unable to give you links at this time to take a look at the products directly online. As soon as I can do so I will update this blog post with the links.

Items used:

  • Cardstock Colors: Night of Navy, Basic White and Basic Black

  • Ink Pad Colors: Night of Navy, Misty Moonlight, Boho Blue, Memento Tuxedo Black

  • Versamark Clear embossing ink

  • Silver embossing powder

  • Crumb cake thread or brown suede ribbon

  • In The Grove stamp set

  • Take to the Sky Suite:

    • Adventurous Sky Stamp Set

    • Adventurous Sky Dies

    • Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper

    • Industrial Trinkets embellishments

Quick Instructions:

  1. Take a piece of Night of navy cardstock, and make your slimline card base, cut on the long side down to 7 inches, so your piece now should be 8 1/2 x 7 inches. Score and fold your 7 inch side at 3 1/2 inches, using a bone folder burnish.

2. Cut a small piece of Night of Navy to 4 1/4 x 4 inches, this will be for your inside pocket. Score 3 sides at 1/2 inch. Using 1 inch circle punch, punch out a half circle on the one side that is not scored, see picture below.

3. Cut out the following sized pieces of basic white cardstock:

  • Slimline base layer - 8 1/4 x 3 1/4”

    • Inside card for pouch - 2 3/4 x 3 1/4 “

    • Inside card for sentiment layer -

4. Cut out the following sized pieces of Take to the Sky DSP:

  • Slimline layer - 8 1/8 x 3 1/8”

  • Inside card for pouch - 2 3/4 x 3 1/4, cut an 1/8 off on two sides

  • Inside card for sentiment layer -

  • The DSP has two sheets that have tags already set for you to cut out, cut out at least two of them, and punch out 1/8” circle for ribbon or thread

5. Using a large ink blending brush, starting from just above the middle top of the largest piece of DSP, brush on some Boho Blue ink, then blend in some Misty Moonlight and then at the very top some night of Navy, and then I also brushed a bit of night of navy on the sides.

6. Using the new In the Grove stamp set, stamp the mountain range in night of navy at the bottom of the DSP piece.

7. Using the Adventurous Sky stamp set, stamp the larger airplane stamp using Memento Tuxedo black in on small piece of basic white card stock. Color airplane with Dark Pink Flamingo, Light Real Red and Dark Real red, stampin blends markers. Then color the wheels with dark smokey slate and light basic black.

8. Die cut out the plane using the Adventurous Sky die set.

9. Stamp a sentiment on small piece basic black cardstock, using versamark embossing clear ink, silver embossing powder, and heat set. Cut down piece to 1 “ x 3”. Cut out fishtail.

10. On a white slimline envelope, you can get them on amazon or make one yourself. Stamp the medium sized plane and smaller clouds using Night of Navy ink on the envelope.

11. Glue on pieces of white cardstock, larger one on the front, and smaller two inside the card, one for the sentiment and the other for the pouch.

12. Stamp Happy Birthday message using Misty Moonlight to inside DSP piece, then glue on pieces of cut DSP.

13. Adhere plane to front of the card just above the middle using mini dimensionals

14. Glue on black embossed sentiment to the front below the airplane a couple of inches down.

Easter Lilies Project

List of supplies used for yellow card: https://ldli.co/e/gqx4klj

List of supplies used for pink card: https://ldli.co/e/073xjy4

Photo Gallery:

Directions listed below gallery.

Directions:

  1. Take a piece of Lemon Lolly card stock, cut along long side at 5 ½ “, you will have two card bases measuring 5 ½” by 8 ½”.

  2. Score one piece in half on long side at 4 ½”

  3. Fold and burnish using your bone folder

  4. Repeat with one piece of thick basic white cardstock

  5. Take another piece of basic white cardstock and cut into four pieces to make your layers.  Cut along long side at 5 ¼” and then turn to cut two pieces at 4”.  Repeat.

  6. Stamp sentiment on one of your white layers in the lower left corner, using Versafine Onyx ink.  Side aside to dry.

  7. Using detailed flower building dies from your Easter Lilies bundle (the ones with the lines inside), cut out three sets of leaves and flowers out of your lemon lolly cardstock, and cut out two sets of leaves and flowers out of your thick basic white card stock.

  8. For your lemon lolly die cuts, using your small blending brushes, brush on Lemon Lime Twist ink on two thirds of the piece, pretty much almost all over, just leave a little of the lemon lolly color showing through.

  9. Then around the edges blend Granny Apple Green, about a third of the way in.

  10. Lastly take your shaded spruce and just ink blend the very edges for a nice bright contrast.

  11. On your white leaves repeat the above steps except go all over the leaves with the lemon lime twist first.

  12. For your lemon lolly flower pieces, on one set, ink the edges using Daffodil Delight, on the second set ink the edges using pumpkin pie and then lastly ink the edges on the last set using poppy parade.

  13. For your white flower pieces, ink just the center of the pieces using Melon Mambo.

  14. Set aside all of your pieces to dry for at least 30 minutes, or use your heat tool to speed up the process.

  15. Curl your flower and leaf pieces to give a more realistic look (optional)

  16. Glue your flower pieces together – highly recommend watching my video, set aside to dry for about 10 minutes.

  17. On your white layers that have the sentiments – on one stamp the pattern from the Easter Lilies stamp set in Daffodil delight randomly for a interesting background (optional)

  18. On the other white layer, brush lightly in the center using Bubble Bath ink, brush roughly a two inch circleish shape (optional).

  19. Adhere both white layers to your cardstock bases using foam tape or dimensionals (optional) or just use stamp and seal or mono glue.

  20. Glue your leaves down first, and then glue your flowers on top of the leaves (see pictures and/or video).

  21. Next, and I think this is fun but totally optional, take some early espresso ink and little bit of water, using a fan brush do a little splatter on the card to give it that lily realistic look.  On the pink card I used Blackberry bliss ink for my splatter.

  22. Finally stamp your inside sentiment on the other white layer cardstock pieces and glue those inside your cards.

  23. Optional, I also stamped the image of the lily on the corner of my basic white envelopes and on the corner in the inside the card piece.

Sending Love - 3D Mailbox Project

Make these adorable 3D Mailboxes which also server as special little candy holders for Valentine’s Day!

Sending Love - 3D Mailboxes

I have written the instructions down here as best I can, however this is more of an advanced 3D project, so it’s hard to convey some steps in words, so I highly recommend watching the YouTube video via the link below.  Even though this lady is not using Stampin’ Up! Products like I have in my example, she gives excellent very detailed instructions.

YouTube Video:  https://youtu.be/75SsPU5ryUM?si=h-6n_oKd5NlgHgKj

List of Products Used: https://ldli.co/e/zrlp2q1

Instructions:

To Make main body of the mailbox:

1.       Take a pink or red themed piece of 12 x 12 DSP paper from the Most Adorned pack, cut on one side to 4 ½ inches.  Now your piece should measure 12 x 4 ½ inches.

2.       On short side, or short side facing up, score at ½”  and at 4”

3.       Turn to long side, score at ½ “, and at 3”

4.       Then score, but only to the horizontal score line, not all the way through, at 5 ½ and 9 ½ , and then turn to the other long side and do the same but you will score at 2 ½ and 6 ½

5.       At the 3” score line and Score a 2” x 2” square, it will be in the middle of the ½ score lines on the side, approximately ½” in from those, best to see picture.

6.       Cut out the 2” square using a paper trimmer.

7.       Fold and burnish all of your score lines that go through the piece of paper

8.       Starting from the cut out square to the end of the long side, curl your paper with your fingers so that the arch is easier to form.

9.       Cut the mini score lines on the side, and then cut teeth marks on the longest tabs on the sides, see picture.  The teeth will allow the paper to curve much more easily.

To Make the base:

1.       Cut a piece of thick basic white card stock down to 4 ½ x 5 ½ inches

2.       Score on all four sides at 1”

3.       Score notches, these will be ½ “ in, and ½” from each of the four corners, see picture

.

4.       Fold and burnish all score lines

5.       Cut out notches and glue them down

6.       Fold and glue the corners together, note you will need to trim one side in because it will stick out to much.

To make Drawer box:

1.       Cut a piece of thick basic white card stock down to 8 ½ x 4 “

2.       Score on long side at 2” , 4”, 6” and 8”

3.       Turn to short side and score at 2”

4.       Fold and burnish all of your score lines

5.       With long side facing up, cut up to the horizontal score line, see picture of template.

6.       Cut also on the same side the bottom tab off, and notch the top tab, see picture.
