Supply List for Sunshine Card and Box
I am excited to be hopping with the Stampin' Friends again. This month, we are sharing projects to brighten someone's day or send them well wishes. If you've been hopping along, you've joined me from Kim Quade's blog. When you're done here, I hope you will continue on to Barbara Welch's. You'll find a complete list of the blog hop links below. 
​
For my projects, I created a card and a mini candy box featuring sun images made by piecing together basic die-cut shapes: triangles and circles. For both of these, I used the Stitched Shapes, Stitched Triangles, and Stitched Rectangle dies. I love the stitching on the edge of these dies as it helps give it a finished edge. To make the die-cut shapes pop even more, I sponged the edges. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Slim Line Mystery Sketch

8/19/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
I have decided it is slim line card week this week! Last night we made a slim line card for Mystery Stamping. Here is the sketch for that card. The finished size is 9 1/4" x 3 3/4" and it will fit in a standard #10 business envelope. While the shape is little different, slim line cards can be quick and easy! So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Cutting Dimensions:
Cardstock (card base): 7 ½ x 9 ¼”, scored at 3 ¾”
Light-colored coordinating cardstock: 3 ½” x 5 ¾”
White or Vanilla cardstock: 2 ¾” x 2 ¾”
Patterned Paper: 3 ½” x 3 ¼”

The cards have an image stamped on the lower left as well as a focal point image at the top of the card. The greeting is also stamped directly on the light colored cardstock on the bottom half of the card. 

My first card uses the Merry Moose stamp set and Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper. I stamped the outline of the moose with Soft Suede ink and then the inside with Crumb Cake ink. Then I punched it out using the moose punch and added it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

My second card uses the To a Wild Rose stamp set and the Magic in this Night Designer Series Paper. This DSP is designed primarily for Halloween, but I love some of the black prints. Here, it really makes the Magenta Madness pop. I stamped the "Blessed" with Magenta Madness ink on Whisper White cardstock and then fussy cut it and added it with Stampin' Dimensionals on an angle. Finally, because every card needs a little bling, I added some basic rhinestones.

My final card uses the Snowflake Wishes stamp set and the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper from the 2020 August-December Mini Catalog. I pulled the colors from the DSP: Highland Heather, Balmy Blue, and Pacific Point. For the bling, I added some of the Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems.

Slimline Cards: Triangle Sketch

8/17/2020

In the last few weeks, slim line cards have seen a huge growth in popularity. So, I decided to play along with the sketch challenge posted on SplitcoastStampers this week which is a slim line card. The sketch features three triangles pointing in from the edges. Let's see how I tackled the challenge. On y go! Let's get stamping.

For both of my cards today, I used the soft color combination of Pool Party, Soft Sea Foam, and a little Petal Pink for the second one. I also added strips of the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper. Just this week, I got the new Stitched Triangles dies and the Right Triangle stamp set, so this sketch seemed like the perfect way to break them in!

With sketch challenges, I always like to play around a bit with the basic sketch and take some liberties. This is especially true in my first card featuring the new Tree Angle stamp set and Stitched Triangles dies. I flipped the card on its side and created two Christmas trees with a suggestion of a patch of starlit sky between them. I added copper stars to the trees, a line of Copper Foil, and a copper greeting cut with the Joy die set. ​

Both of my cards measure 9 1/4" x 3 3/4" and fit nicely into a standard #10 business envelope. The strip of DSP on the left is approximately 1" x 9" for both cards as well and the thin strip of copper on one and Petal Pink on the other is 1/4" x 9". I left these two strips longer than 9" until I adhered them to the front layer. Then, I trimmed the ends. This way, I made sure that all of the layers were exactly the same length.

For my second card, I used the Right Triangle stamp set to stamp designs on the triangles before cutting them with the Stitched Triangle dies. I also stamped a random pattern on the piece of Pool Party cardstcock on the card front. 
I stamped the floral triangle on a piece of Petal Pink cardstock using Petal Pink ink and then cut the word "Hi" using the Playful Alphabet dies. I used the same triangle to stamp along the edges of the piece of Petal Pink cardstock that is the first layer of the card. For a little bling, I finished the card with some of the Artistry Blooms Sequins.

Playful Birthday Cards with lots of Variations

Today, I used the same basic supplies and colors to create four different cards. They all look very similar, but each one is a little different. This is a great way to make different cards quickly. Since you are using all the same materials, you only have to pull them out and clean them up once. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.
Get the Supply List
For these cards I used Pretty Peacock, Pumpkin Pie, and Bumblebee inks and cardstocks. I pulled the colors from a piece of the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper which is also used on each card. I chose the Well Said stamp set, but paired it with the Playful Alphabet dies instead of its coordinating dies. 
Picture

Cardstock Dimensions:
Pretty Peacock:
  • 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
  • 2 1/2" x 5 1/4"
  • 1" x 5 1/4"
Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper: 1 1/4" x 5 1/4"
Pumpkin Pie: 1" x 4 1/2" (or scraps)
Bumblebee: 1/2" x 1 1/2"

For my first card, I started by adhering the strip of Plaid Tidings towards the bottom of my card front leaving about a half inch or so of space towards the bottom. Then, I adhered the two pieces of Pretty Peacock cardstock that I had embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder to the card front using Black Stampin' Dimensionals and leaving a gap so that the Plaid Tidings DSP shows through. I carefully adhered the die-cut letters over the gap by adding a little multipurpose liquid glue to the top and bottom edges of the letters so that they are attached to the edges of the two pieces of Pretty Peacock cardstock but not the Plaid Tidings DSP. 

​Cutting Dimensions:

Pumpkin Pie:
  • 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
  • 1" x 4 1/2" (or scraps)
Pretty Peacock: 3 11/16" x 4 15/16"
Plaid Tidings DSP: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"
​Bumblebee: 1/2" x 4"

I still cut the "Birthday" greeting with the Playful Alphabet dies, but for this card, I created a longer flag for the "Happy" from the Well Written stamp set. I simply layered this greeting on a piece of the Plaid Tidings DSP and then mounted on Pretty Peacock. This layer is then mounted to the Pumpkin Pie card base using Stampin' Dimensionals. This is a pretty quick and easy card with minimal stamping. 
Picture
Cutting Dimensions:
Pretty Peacock:
  • 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
  • 4 13/16" x 4 1/16"
Pumpkin Pie:
  • 4 5/8" x 3 7/8"
  • 5/16" x 4 1/4"
​Plaid Tidings DSP: 1" x 4 1/2" (or scraps)
For my third card, I cut the "Birthday" greeting from the Plaid Tidings DSP. It is mounted on a foam adhesive sheet. Normally, when I mount the letters on the foam adhesive sheet, I adhere the foam to the paper before I cut the letters. This time, I didn't decide that I wanted them popped up until after I'd already cut the letters. But, I found a really good trick for getting the paper letters perfectly placed on the foam letters. The foam letters generally stay put when you take the metal die off. Leave them in the rest of the piece of foam and carefully peal off the sticker side on one of the letters. Apply the paper letter to the foam before punching out the foam. because the foam around the letter will still have the sticker backing, it sticks up a little higher and you can nestle the paper letter into place assuring proper placement on the foam letter. (I hope all that made sense!)

For this card, I also stamped "Happy" with Pumpkin Pie ink on the Pumpkin Pie cardstock. I stamped it 2-3 times before reinking the stamp and varied the placement. As I was putting the card together, it felt like it needed a little something, so I added the thin strip of Pumpkin Pie cardstock between the Pretty Peacock layer and card base.

Cutting Dimensions:
Pretty Peacock:
  • 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
  • (layer) 2 9/16" x 5 1/2"
  • (greeting) 1 3/16" x 4 15/16"
Pumpkin Pie:
  • (greeting) 2 3/8" x 5 5/16"
  • (layer) 3 3/8" x 4 1/4"
Plaid Tidings DSP: 1 1/2" 4 3/4"
Picture

For my last card, I used the piece of Plaid Tidings DSP from which I had cut the letters for the previous card. (Actually, I made this card first and then used the letters on the other card.) I started by adhere the piece of Plaid Tidings DSP to the Pretty Peacock mat. Then, I cut the greeting. I popped this up on Stampin' Dimensionals when I adhered it to the Pumpkin Pie background on which I had stamped "Happy" with Pumpkin Pie ink. I embossed the large piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock in the back with one of the Wrapped in Texture embossing folders. (These come as a 2-pack in the August-December Mini Catalog).

These cards were fun and quick to make. The color combination and basic designs make them a perfect gender neutral card perfect for anyone!
