Father’s Day is next month, so I decided to make my dad a card. I created this card using the Stampin’ Up Encircled In Nature bundle (Online Exclusive). I paired the bundle with the Stampin’ Up Gone Fishing stamp set and Let’s Go Fishing Designer Series Paper.

Color Combination:

Card Measurements:

Cardbase: 5.5″ x 8.5″ (scored at 4.25″)

Pecan Pie layer: Stampin’ Up Deckled Rectangle Dies

Let’s Go Fishing Designer Series Paper: Stampin Up Deckled Rectangle Dies

Vellum: 4.25″ x 3.25″

A list of supplies I used to make this card is below. Please note the Let’s Go Fishing Designer Series Paper and vellum may not be no longer available… they both recently retired. Happy stamping! 🙂

I just love how elegant this Mother’s Day card turned out. I paired the Stampin’ Up Encircled In Nature bundle (Online Exclusive) with the Stippled Roses stamp set to create this fun fold card. The Crumb Cake card base is 5.5″ x 8.5″ (scored at 4.25″) and then I folded the front of the card in half (see picture below).

The front of the card is 5.25″ x 4″. I embossed the Basic White cardstock with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. Next, I layered the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper (5″ x 3.75″) off-centered. Then, I created the focal point of the card. I stamped the wooden wreath image onto a Basic White using the Pecan Pie Classic Stampin’ Pad and die cut it out using the coordinating die. Next, I die cut two flower wreaths using the Encircled In Nature Dies. I used a blending brush with the Lemon Lolly Classic Stampin’ Pad to add a hint of color on one of the flower wreaths. Then I used the wood wreath die from the Encircled In Nature dies to die cut a piece of vellum. For the Happy Mother’s Day sentiment which is a part of the Stippled Roses stamp set, I stamped it onto the piece of vellum using the Early Espresso Classic Stampin’ Pad and used my heat tool to dry it. After the inked dried, I then layered the wreath on top of the wreath, adhered it all together and added a line bow on top of it.

I wanted to add some pizzaz to the inside of the card (see picture above) so I added a strip of the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper (5.25″ x 2″) and layered Basic White cardstock (5″ x 3.75″) on top of a piece of Bubble Bath cardstock (5.25″ x 4″).

Below is a list of supplies that I used to create this card. NOTE: the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper and vellum may not be no longer available to purchase since they both just retired). Happy stamping! 🙂

I created this fabulous handbag using three Stampin’ Up retiring products: Delightfully Eclectic 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (DSP), Inked & Tiled Punch Pack, and Beautiful Balloons Dies. If you would like to create this handbag, it is not too late to get these retiring products that will not be available after April 30th or while supplies last (which ever is soonest).

Color Combination:

Handbag Measurements:

Cardstock: 5” x 8” (base of the handbag) 

2 pieces of Designer Series Paper: 12” x 6” and 7” x 6” (sides of handbag)

2 pieces of cardstock: 1” x 11” (handles for the handbag)

Cardstock: 1.5” x 8” (optional tassel)

Instructions:

To create the base of the handbag, take the 5″ x 8″ piece of cardstock and score it 1″ on every side. Next, cut a little slot out from each corner as shown in the picture above. After the little slots are cut out, fold the cardstock on each of the scored lines. Place adhesive on the four individual tabs to create the rectangle little box (see below).

Now that the base of the handbag is made, it is now time to add the sides to it. Adhere the two edges of the 6″ pieces of Designer Series Paper (DSP) together (this will make a 6″ x 19″ piece of paper. Adhere the DSP to the handbag base (for my bag I left a little bit of the red cardstock showing, but you can cover the whole base with the DSP if you would like to). You are literally just wrapping the DSP around the base of the handbag (no scoring is required). After the sides of the handbag is attached, it is time to make the handles. To make the handles, I used a corner rounder on all four corners of the 1″ x 11″ strips of cardstock. Then, I scored the 1″ x 11″ piece of cardstock at .5″ (I left two inches on each end of the pieces that I did not score because they will be attached to the sides of the handbag).

Now that the handbag is made, it is time to decorate it. I decided to add the Basic Black shapes to the bag that matched the Designer Series Paper (DSP). I used the Inked & Tiled Punch Pack to punch out the two shapes and I connected them together using the Simply Elegant Trim. I also wanted to add some more pizzaz to the handbag by adding a tassel to it. I used the Beautiful Balloons Dies to create the tassel.

Below is a list of the Stampin’ Up supplies I used to create this fancy handbag. Happy stamping! 🙂

This little cow is the cutest. 🙂 I made this card using the Stampin Up Cutest Cow bundle and paired it with the Sweet Thoughts Memories and More Card Pack. I stamped the sunflowers and milk jug images onto the Basic White Cardstock and colored them using the Stampin Blends and markers. Next, I stamped the cow images onto Basic White Cardstock and colored them using the Pecan Pie Stampin Blends. I adhered the cute cow to the card using Stampin Dimensionals. After creating the main scene, I stamped the sentiment onto the banner using the Blueberry Bushel Classic Stampin Pad. To add some pizzaz to the card, I placed two Rustic Metallic Adhesive-backed dots to the banner and tied some Black and White Gingham Ribbon onto the card.

Color Combination:

Card Measurements:

Card base: 5.5″ x 8.5″ (scored at 4.25″)

Sweet Thoughts Memories and More Card layer: 5.25″ x 4″

Blueberry Bushel layer: Stylish Shapes Dies (2.75″ square)

Basic White Square: Stylish Shapes Dies (2.5″ square)

Basic White Banner: Nestled Essential Dies

Crushed Curry layer: .75″ x 4″

I stamped the sunflowers inside of the card and colored them using the Stampin Blends and markers. The Garden Green layer is 5.25″ x 4″. The Basic White layer is 5″ x 3.75″.

I decided to be creative and pair the Stampin’ Up Poetic Expressions Designer Series Paper (DSP) with the cute Pets and More stamp set. To add some dimension to this card, I used the Foam Adhesive Sheets to raise up the Meadow Mossy layer and the Stampin’ dimensionals to raise up the Boho Blue Label.

Color Combination:

Card base: 5.5” x 8.5” (scored at 4.25”)

Bobo Blue layer: 5.25” x 4”

Poetic Expressions DSP: 5” x 3.75”

Mossy Meadow layer: 4.25” x 3”

For the inside of the card, I stamped some cute paw prints.

I used the following items to make this cute miss you card. Happy stamping! 🙂

There is something about this dainty and delicate Designer Series Paper (DSP) that is in the Stampin’ Up Poetic Expressions 12″ x 12″ DSP pack that makes my heart happy. The color combination of Wild Wheat and Bubble Bath is one of my favorites. This card is quick to make and will certainly brighten someone’s day. I used the Thoughtful Expressions bundle to create the card. The sentiment was stamped using the Wild Wheat Classic Stampin’ Pad. I also used the Wild Wheat Classic Stampin’ Pad to stamp the flower image. I colored the flowers with the light Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends.
