A Touch of Ink Spotlight Technique

Posted on January 22, 2021January 22, 2021 by cccwebsite55123

This card uses A Touch of Ink stamp set and the Spotlight technique. A Touch of Ink is a Sale-A-Bration set you can get for free with a $50 purchase through February 2021. It is one of my favorite because of the two step stamping feature, dist-Ink-tive images, and the stamp set itself–butterflies and hummingbirds with flowers are high on my list in creating cards for others. Two-step stamping in this case is when you stamp the first image, which is an outline image, and then there is second stamp that will color in the outline image. Read on to see how easy it is to create this card!

Measurements:

Blackberry Bliss card stock: 4.25″ x 11″, scored on the 11″ side at 5.5″, 2.75″ x 3.75″ for scalloped oval
Very Vanilla card stock: (2) 4″ x 5.25″, (1) 2.5″ x 3.5″ for oval die cut

Directions for A Touch of Ink card:

The first step is to stamp the outline images on the 4″ x 5.25″ piece of Very Vanilla card stock. This card is oriented in portrait mode, where the 4″ side will be top and bottom and the sides will be the 5.25″ side. Stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black ink the flowers on the left hand side and primarily centered in the vertical middle. Add the hummingbird such that the tail is 1/4″ from the right edge and the beak is inside the flowers. Also stamp the sentiment.

Using Blackberry Bliss ink, ink the flower second stamp and stamp inside the outline image of the flowers to add the color. Note: The stamp to add color is not an exact match to the outline stamp and this helps to provide a soft water color look. The hummingbird is stamped in Old Olive ink. The Blackberry Bliss blend pen was used to add color to the hummingbird. Add speckles randomly with the speckle stamp in the set in Old Olive ink around the flowers.

Die cut an oval out of the Very Vanilla cardstock, to include the sentiment and a majority of the hummingbird.

Layer the Hummingbird oval onto the Blackberry Bliss scalloped oval. Adhere the blackberry bliss ribbon to the lower front of the Very Vanilla cardstock. Next, adhere the 4″ x 5.25″ Very Vanilla card stock onto the front of the Blackberry Bliss card front. Adhere the hummingbird oval onto the front of the card with dimensionals, lining up the images to the front of the Very Vanilla base. Add Wink of Stella to the hummingbird for an added sparkle!

This Nature’s Beauty Trifold Window card will surprise your recipient! When the card is laying flat, it appears to be a standard card fold, however, once opened, it reveals a window and more layers inside! Learn how to make this card using this timeless stamp set

Measurements:

Real Red cardstock: 5.5″ x 8.5″ scored at 4.25″ along the 8.5″ side

Directions for Nature’s Beauty Trifold Window Card:

Fold cardbase and adhere the 4″x5.25″ piece of DSP to the front of the card. Use the adhesive in the corners and primarily around the perimeter of the back of your designer paper, and not much in the center at all.
Use the Stitched Nested Label die that cuts a 2 3/8″ x 4.25″ opening, and center on front of card and die cut. Use the next size down Nested Label die and die cut from the 4″x4″ Very Vanilla cardstock. Layer this Very Vanilla stamped Nested label on top of the larger red Nested Label that was cut from the front of the card. (Note: The DSP that was cut from the front of the card will not be used on this card.)
Take your Very Vanilla Nested Label diecut and stamp a message in Real Red ink and the fox in Tuxedo black Memento ink.
On the large piece of Very Vanilla, stamp in the 4″x5.25″ section with the scored section to the right. Stamp the deer, rabbit, grass, shrubs in Tuxedo Black Memento and the sentiment in Real Red ink. To get the shrubs to appear as if they are behind the deer, mask the backend of the deer with a fussy cut piece of Post-It note paper.

Adhere this stamped section to the inside flap of card, with the scored portion of the Very Vanilla to the right. Fold the cardstock to the left of the first score line and then fold the remaining cardstock to the right of the next score line. Close the card.
Apply adhesive to the fold that is exposed through the Nested Label window and then apply the large shape cutout to the card.

Gather Together Buckle Fold Card

Posted on September 17, 2020September 17, 2020 by cccwebsite55123

I’m so glad the Gather Together bundle carried over to the 2020-2021 Mini Catalog because I have so many more cards I want to make with this set. Learn this Buckle Fold card technique in this post and let your imagination run wild on what other sets can be used with this technique!

Measurements for Gather Together Buckle Fold Card

Cajun Craze: Card Base 4.25″ x 8.5″, scored at 5.5″ on the 8.5″ side, Maple Leaf 3″ square, Belt 5.5″ x 1.5″ scored at 1/2″ on the 5.5″ side, piece for 2.5″ circle
Very Vanilla inside: 4″ x 5.25″
Brushed Metallic Copper Layer: 2.75″ x 4″ (cut out your leaves from this piece (see figure 1), pieces for 2 leaves, 2 branches
Designer Series Paper (DSP) on flap: 2.5″ x 3.75, on belt 1.25″ x 5″

Figure 1: Keep the die cuts towards inside so there is enough room on edges to use as border layering piece

Directions:

To make this card, start by getting all your pieces cut, scored, and die cut. Layer the Very Vanilla Cardstock on the inside. Layer the brushed metallic copper on the front of the card flap, followed by the DSP. Use the Classic Label Punch to punch a slot centered on the front of the card. Push the front flap into the punch (see Figure 2) as far as it will go.

Figure 2: Punch slot on front of card flap.

Place Cajun Craze circle centered over the slot, apply tear & tape to left side of circle (i.e. on the part that will be to the left side of the slot) and adhere.

Apply DSP to the card belt. Slip the belt into the slot, centering top to bottom in the slot, and align the other end with the score line at the edge of the card. Place tear & tape on the 1/2″ scored piece (on the side opposite the DSP) and adhere belt to the backside of the card.

Now you’re ready to decorate your card! Place the large stamped maple leaf on top of the circle with dimensionals. Add the 2 brushed metallic copper leaves and branches as shown. Stamp sentiments and images on Very Vanilla cardstock. Stamp pumpkins with flap closed in order to center properly.

Stampin Up Card Ideas: Beautiful World

Posted on June 10, 2020September 17, 2020 by cccwebsite55123

Do you need Stampin Up card ideas using the Beautiful World bundle? The new in-color Cinnamon Cider pairs so nicely with black–great for masculine cards! The Cinnamon Cider and Basic Black cardstock pair so well together. I love the new the Brass Foil–it’s so super shiny? I will be using this a lot! Tip for using foil paper: I like using the adhesive sheets to glue foil pieces on the card because there is less likelihood of getting glue on the front of the foil. If you do get glue on the front of the foil, rubbing it in one direction (and patience :-)) with your finger seems to work best for keeping it shiny!

Measurements:

Black Cardstock: (1) 4.25″ x 11″, scored at 5.5″ and 8.25″ along the 11″ side; (1) 3.25″ x 4.5″, 5/8″ small circle
Cinnamon Cider Cardstock: (1) 3.5″ x 4.75″; (1) 4″ x 2.75″; 2.25″x2.5″ for tag
World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper: (1) 4″ x 5.25″; .5″ x 4″
Brass Foil Sheets: For globe, globe stand and swirly, 3/4″ small circle
Adhesive Sheets: For globe, globe stand and swirly shape

Directions:

Prepare Brass Foil sheets with adhesive sheets on the back. Die cut globe, glove stand, and swirly from the brass sheet.
Fold the black cardstock on the score lines, making a mountain fold with the 2 smallest sections (See Fig 1.)

Place 4″ x 5.25″ piece of designer paper on the black cardstock in the largest section. Add the 3.5″ x 4.5″ Cinnamon Cider cardstock in the middle of the designer paper. This will be the inside sentiment.
Adhere the 3.25″ x 4.5″ piece of black cardstock on top of the Cinnamon Cider 3.5″ x 4.75″ cardstock. Fold card on score lines. Center and adhere the Cinnamon Cide cardstock to front of card; only putting adhesive on the lower 1/2 of the cardstock where it adheres to the black folded section.
Add .5″ x 4″ strip of designer paper to lower portion of card front.
Take adhesive backing off globe and place in upper left of black card front, ensuring there is enough room on left edge to fit globe stand on the black cardstock.
Take adhesive backing off globe and place over globe. Add 2 small gilded gems to globe stand ends.
Die cut label with Cinnamon Cider cardstock. Stamp sentiment in upper portion of label, so there is enough room to add swirly without interfering with sentiment. Take adhesive backing off swirly and add to tag. Add dimensionals to the back of the label and add to front of card.
Adhere the small black circle on top of the gold foil circle. Fold easel card, to determine the best placement for the gold circle to allow the card to stand. Place glue dot on upper portion of gold circle, leaving room at the bottom of the gold circle for the card to slip underneath. Add medium gilded gem to top of black circle.

Black Cardstock: (1) 5.5″ x 8.5″, scored at 2 1/8″ and 6 3/8″ along the 8.5″ side; (2) 4″ x 3.5″, scored at 1/2″ along 4″ side, white piece for the magnolia stamp image, 1.25″ x 11.25′ scored at 2 1/8″ and 6.5″ along the 11.5″ side for belly band
White cardstock: 3″ x 5.5″, 3.5″ x 2.25″ for inside sentiment
Designer Series Paper: Outside (2) 1 7/8″ x 5 1/4″; Inside (1) 2 3/4″ x 5 1/4″

Directions

Fold black base card stock on the scored lines inward so that it forms a 2 panel gate.
Adhere the 2 pieces of designer series paper to the card front on each gate panel.
Fold belly band on score lines. Overlap the ends so that the smaller piece is on top and adhere Stamp the magnolia image with black memento ink and color the image using the blends. Adhere the magnolia stamp image to the belly band, making sure that flower does not extend beyond the folded belly band (otherwise it won’t fit in the envelope)
To make shutter card pieces, score 1/2″ on 4″ side of black 3.5″x 4″ piece of black card stock. Place a piece of tear & tape on the 1/2″ scored edge. From opposite the scored end, cut 2″ down the center. If doing this 2″ cut on a paper trimmer, line up the paper edge at the 1 3/4″ mark and cut 2″ from non scored end. Using a pair of long blade scissors, cut from each corner to the end of the 2″ cut to form a banner. See Figure 1.

Take the inside designer series paper (2 3/4″ x 5 1/4″) and adhere to the 3″x5″ white piece of cardstock. Punch a 2.25″ circle in the center
Stamp the sentiment on the 3.5″ x 2.25″ white card stock. Adhere this to the inside of the card by centering it, using the white card stock with the 2.25″ circle punch out as a guide.
Line up the first shutter (with the tear & tape facing up) on the inside of one of the scored lines so it is centered over the circle. Take off the tear & tape and fold the side gate panel down, making sure the shutter is lined up against the score line. See Figure 2.

Repeat this step for the second shutter on the opposite side, making sure it’s also parallel to the first shutter. See Figure 3.

Place dimensionals (pop up dots) on the top and bottom of the back of the white card stock to be used for the inside. Adhere the top first so it’s centered left to right between score lines, then adhere the bottom.
