September Card Class 2022 

We had another great card class. We were using the “Bewitching” bundle. We made goodie bags and cards. These ladies are becoming so confident of their abilities they just do their own thing. They are enjoying using the different products. This month I put the supplies out on another table and they went to get the supplies they needed. We used an embossing folder on the peek a boo treat bags. Then they used the bewitching stamps and punch to decorate. The new tool I introduced this month was the stamparatus. Because of the images being solid I wanted to show how it could improve their images. I love to hear the oooos and ahs when they see what the different tools can do. All in all we had another wonderful time together , as always We were down two people this month. We missed having them. See you next month ladies. What a wonderful group and I am so proud of them. God bless, until next month.

Now lets get to work:

With your paper trimmer cut your Pool party card stock at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, then score at 4 1/4. Fold this in half to make your card base. With the other half of the card stock cut it to 5 x 3 3/4. Emboss the piece of card stock with the cut& emboss machine and the timeworn type embossing folder. Set those pieces aside. Find the designer series paper that has the more solid side to it. Cut one at 5 x 1 1/2 and another piece that will fit two smaller flowers and two of the middle sized flowers and two leaves. Make sure part of it has some green on it. Now we are going to stamp using the versa mark ink and stamp the pieces mentioned above. Pour the embossing powder over the areas you just stamped, you should be able to see the powder stick to the ink. Take your heal tool and hover over the embossed images until the powder melts and become shiny. Cut out the flowers and leaves you just embossed. Find the circle shapes from the stylish shapes dies and and the smaller thinner banner die and cut them out of the basic white card stock. To make the circles take two of the circles and place one inside the other to cut out the centers. Take the piece of 5x3 3/4 piece of DSP and adhere it to the left side of your embossed card stock but not all the way to the edge. Using the glue adhere the circles in the middle of the card stock. Arrange your flowers and leaves as shown. Make a double ribbon and adhere under the flowers. Stamp best wishes with the starry night ink on your banner, pop up using dimensionals. Cut a piece of basic white 5 x 4 and stamp a flower in the corner. Adhere to the inside of your card. You can also stamp some flowers to the outside of your envelope. I hope you enjoyed making this card.

Season of Chic

Good evening everyone. So tonight I am posting a card I found on YouTube. Thank you Leena Girsa for letting me CASE your beautiful card. Mine is just a little different. Okay lets get busy, here are the things you will be needing to make this beautiful card. 

What you will need…

“Season of chic bundle” #158816

“Natural prints” dies #158800, for the sentiment label

Petal pink card stock #146985

Smoky slate card stock #131202

Petal pink ink #147108

Smoky slate ink #147113

Basic white card stock #159276

Foil sheets gold #132622

Texture chic DSP #15808

Linen thread #104199

Opal rounds #154289

Stampin seal #152813

Mini glue dots #103683

Dimensionals #104430

Mini stamp & emboss machine #150673

Paper trimmer #152392

Stamp block C #118486

Here we go, lets put it together. Cut the Petal pink card stock in half on the long side using your paper trimmer at 4 1/4x 11. Then score it at 5 1/2 fold in half. Cut your textured chic DSP to 4x6. Lets do some die cutting. First we need a scrap of smoky slate and petal pink card stock. Using the large solid shell shape and your mini cutting machine cut out one gray and one pink shell. Next the gold paper and one large detailed shell die, one small detailed shell die and the pointy shell shape and cut them out. Next get the label die from Natures Prints and cut it out of basic white. Next lets do our stamping. Stamp the gray and pink shells with corresponding inks. Stamp your sentiment with the smoky slate ink and the textured stamp with petal pink on your label. Now we get to put it all together.

Take your DSP and rip it in half about 1/3 of the way down. Flip one piece over. Put the bigger piece at the top, don’t glue it down yet. Lay it on top of your card base to measure where to adhere the two pieces together. Adhere the smoky slate shell on the upper left side of the piece you just adhered together. Next adhere the large gold shell near the bottom of the gray shell. Take your linen thread and measure enough so you can fold it in half and tape each end to the back of your DSP just a little bit under the ripped line. Place dimensionals on the back of the pink shell and place it at the bottom of the gold shell. Adhere the small gold shell under the thread, next to the pink shell. With some more thread make a double bow adhere it with glue dots next to the pink shell over the double thread going across.  Adhere the pointy shell to the back of the label. Place three dimensionals to the back of the label and adhere it just above the thread. Adhere the whole panel to the front of your card base. Place three opal rounds on your your card. 

Cut a piece of basic white to 4x3 stamp some shells on the bottom just off the end. Adhere it to the inside of your card. Stamp some shells on the bottom front of your envelope. Tada we are done. Now you just need to send it off.

I hope you enjoyed making todays card. You can go to ruthgonzales.stampinup.net to order any of the supplies you might need to make this beautiful card. Thank you for stopping by. Happy crafting everyone.

 

Perched in a Tree Bundle

Hello everyone, todays card is from the stampin’ up mini catalog. I was feeling like I needed a little coolness as right now it’s a warm 92 degrees. I made a small error on this card. I used DSP, designer series paper we no longer sell. But you could use paper from the “storybook gnomes” or “splendid day” paper pack. You could even make your own background paper using basic white, a blending brush and a dark blue, light blue ink. I’m so sorry for the mistake. But it gives you an idea of what you could do with this bundle. Okay lets get on to what you will need to make this simple card.
Here is what you will need…
Perched in a Tree bundle #159799 ,from the mini catalog
Deckled rectangles #159173, for label
Basic white cad stock #159276
Smoky slate ink #147113
Balmy Blue ink #147105
Stampin’ blends markers…
Balmy blue #154830
Crumb cake #154882
Wink of stella #141897
Paper trimmer #152392
Stamp blocks H #118490 and C #118486
Stampin’ cut & emboss machine #149653
Stampin’ dimensionals minis #144108
Any DSP (designer series paper) for background
Opal rounds #154289
Multipurpose liquid glue #110755
Let’s get to work. Take a piece of basic white card stock, 8 1/2 x 11, and cut it at 5 1/2 on the 11” side. Score it at 4 1/4. This will be your card base, set aside for now. Cut the other half of the white card stock to 4x 5 1/4. Then with the trees outline die from the bundle place the die in the middle of the white and run it through your die cutting machine. Cut you DSP just slightly smaller than the white piece you just cut out. Take your mini dimensionals and adhere them around the outside of the cut out tree piece and a few on some of the branches. Remove the backings from your dimensionals and very carefully lay it on the DSP paper. After you do that adhere it to the front of your card. Now with whats left over from the white card stock stamp the bird and branch with the smoky slate ink. Color the bird then cut both pieces out on the cutting machine using the coordinating dies. With the glue adhere the branch across the other branches about 2/3 of the way down. Now place a few dimensionals behind the bird trying to place them where the tree branches are, adhere the bird on the branch close to the left side. Now using the smallest deckled rectangle and hopefully you have a small piece of white left, cut out your banner. With the Balmy blue ink and a sponge dauber or what ever you’d like ink the edges of your banner. Then choose a sentiment to fit your banner and stamp it with smoky slate ink. Glue the banner to your card. Take your wink of stella and use some on the edges of the branches to make it look frosty. Then place you opal rounds on your card. All done! You might want do a little stamping on your envelope to give your recipient a sneak peek of whats inside. I hope you enjoy making this simple card.

Stampin’ seal #152814

Wink of Stella #141897

Now  lets put it together:

Fold your card base to make a gate fold card. Adhere the Petal Pink panels to each side of the card front, (it was supposed to be pale papaya #155668).  Emboss your two white panels using the Brinks & Mortar embossing folder and the embossing machine. Adhere the white panels on top of the petal pink panels. Now stamp and color your flowers using the blender pens. Take the coordinating die and cutting machine and cut out the flowers. Using the dimenionals pop up the left side of the flower cut out, make sure not to place any on the right side or your card will not open and adhere it in the middle of your card. On the scrap of smoky slate card stock, the sentiment from season of chic and the black ink, stamp your sentiment. Using the smallest tag die cut out your sentiment. Cut some of the linen twine and loop it through the hole in the tag. Adhere the tag to the front of the card above the flowers. Color three of the pearls with your papaya stampin’ blends and adhere to your card front. With the wink of Stella color the flowers. On the bottom of the inside white panel and pale papaya ink stamp the smaller flowers in the corner of panel and adhere to the inside of your card. If you would like you can also stamp the front of your envelope. And you are done with your card. I hope you enjoyed making the beautiful card.
