Paper Ribbon Cards

Good morning.

Today I have 2 cards for you featuring the “Paper Ribbon” technique, which I’ve seen recently on YouTube.

Keys to the card:

  • Basic White card stock strip (I used 2″ and 2¼” widths) and 5 ½” length
  • Make tick marks using a pencil every ½” along the long sides of the Basic White strip
  • Strips of designer series paper ½” wide and slightly longer than the width of the Basic White
  • Adhere one layer matching tick marks at the diagonal
  • For second layer, opposite direction over the first layer, easier to start 1 or 2 strips down from the top

To finish, cut to desired length for your card. Hint: dry fit without adhesive

My first card uses a combination of the Rings of Love 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (Sale-A-Bration level 1 selection) and the Ringed with Nature Bundle.

Finally, the second card I made using the He’s the Man 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper along with the Brewed for You stamp set to help create the background.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by today, hope these projects have inspired you to try paper crafting. When you decide to place an order for Stampin’ Up! products, I would appreciate your business.

Merry Christmas in July!

Merry Christmas in July!

Today I thought I would share four cards and a bonus project with you to get you started on your holiday cards and projects. All the projects use the Rings of Love 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper, a level 1 Sale-A-Bration selection.

The paper includes images of cottages, mushrooms, acorns, birds, tree rings, and flowers. You can cut out some of the images with the dies included in the coordinating Tree Rings Hybrid Embossing Folder. The paper also includes basic patterns that you can use with any project.

RINGS OF LOVE 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

The first card features strips of the designer series paper. Unfortunately, the ribbon used on the card is retired, I had it in the wrong batch – but any ribbon that coordinates would work nicely.

Next, my second card I’ve embossed the designer series paper and used Mint Macaron and Night of Navy for the colors.

This card features Poppy Parade and Mint Macaron.

Finally, my last card I’ve used the Alphabest Bundle and polls from the Tree Lot Dies to create a Merry Christmas banner. Poles and letters adhered with combination of glue dots and dimensionals.

Online Only Bonus project: Need a quick gift, keep a variety of notebooks on hand and cover them with designer paper, who would not like a special notebook!  Now is the perfect time as school supplies are out to stock up!

Merry Christmas Eve in July!

Merry Christmas Eve in July!

Yesterday I participated in an Online Retreat and one of the cards made was called a Bay Fun Fold Card.  The card looks like your basic gate fold card, but when you open it up there is a bay fold on the side. Thought this would make a great card for today!

The main products used for the card include:

  • Polished Pink and Pacific Point Card stock
  • Celebrate Everything 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (Host reward designer paper, $18 USD value)
  • Tree Lot Dies (Level 2 Sale-A-Bration item – $100 USD)
  • Trees for Sale Photopolymer Stamp Set

Thought I would start by sharing the card and belly band, used to keep the card closed.

Close up look at the front of the card.

Here is a close up of the inside, where I have both stamped and die cut the trees.  The banner is only adhered to the 1″ section in the middle.  The greeting will pop-up!

Season of Chic Bundle

Good morning and happy Saturday!

Today I’m sharing the cards made for Challenge 4 of the Online Retreat I’m participating in. Today we have 8 presentations and prizes awarded – let’s hope I win something!

For challenge 4, we were given dimensions to use with card stock or designer paper to create our cards

  • 3 pieces – 1½” x 2 ¾”
  • 3 pieces for mats – 1 5/8″ x 2 7/8″

For my cards I’m using the Season of Chic Bundle along with the coordinating Texture Chic 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper and Distressed Gold 12″ x 12″ Specialty Paper. I even added designer paper to the envelope flaps for interest.

My first card uses a horizontal layout for the rectangles, with the Distressed Gold Paper behind each of the die cuts which represent a different season.

For the card below I decided on a vertical layout using the same dimensions for the rectangles. The Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder provided the perfect background cut just slightly smaller than the card front.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by today, hope these projects have inspired you to try paper crafting. When you decide to place an order for Stampin’ Up! products, I would appreciate your business.

6″ x 6″ One Sheet Wonder

The cards started with a 6″ x 6″ piece of designer paper you measure 2″ in from each corner, place a tick mark and cut connecting opposite tick marks. All card bases are Thick Basic White card stock and the mats are Polished Pink card stock.

For my cards I used the Celebrate Everything 12″ x 12 Designer Series Paper, a $18 Host Reward item. You’ll be prepared for any card-giving occasion when you have this paper. Need cute pumpkins and ghosts for Halloween? You got it! Need colorful fall leaves for an autumn-themed card? It’s in there! How about some gorgeous fireworks, perfect for all sorts of celebrations? This paper has it—and a whole lot more. Get this paper now and you’ll thank yourself later!

Tree Lot Dies

When I first saw the Tree Lots Dies in the Sale-A-Bration catalog I did not think much about them even though they coordinate with the Trees for Sale Photopolymer Stamp Set in the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog.

Boy was I wrong – they are now a favorite of mine!

The dies are a Level 2 Sale-A-Bration product, which means here in the United States they can be yours with a $100 (before tax & shipping) product order.

TREE LOT DIES

Today I’m showing you they can be used for both Christmas or any time of the year.

First is a Christmas card with a “tree lot” and camper, not to mention sparkling lights. Card reminds me of one of the Hallmark Christmas Movies.

Here is what the stamp set looks like.

TREES FOR SALE PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET (ENGLISH)

 

Here is the inside of the card:

Finally, here the dies where teamed with the Party Puffins stamp set for a birthday card. The Basic Border Dies provided the outline for the clouds using Blending Brushed and shades of blue. Grass is shaded of green, all on a Pear Pizzazz card base to match the trees.

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July!

Here is a little background on the Fourth of July—also known as Independence Day in the United States. On July 2nd, 1776, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence, and two days later delegates from the 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence, a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson. From 1776 to the present day, July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of American independence, with festivities ranging from fireworks, parades and concerts to more casual family gatherings and barbecues.

I’ve used the Alphabest Bundle, along with Sweet Sorbet, Basic White and Starry Sky to represent the red, white and blue for today’s card.

The “Best Label Punch” is the cutest little punch. Spell out your best sentiments and titles with the Alphabest Stamp Set. This stamp set includes letters, numbers, symbols, and accents in a classic serif font that will match a variety of designs and styles. For a clean look, stamp your words in a single ink color. To make something a little more fun, switch up your coloring techniques with different colors, embossing powders, and more!

Paradise Palm

Don’t know about where you are, but here in Pittsburgh it’s a perfect sunny day for the pool.

Today I’m sharing a card with you I created for an Online Retreat I’m participating in. For this challenge you needed to create a background for your card with Blending Brushes, Sponge Daubers or even just sponges.  My card uses Blending Brushes and a bunch of colors.

Main items in my card:

  • Paradis Palm Stamp Set
  • Palm Dies
  • Tree Lot Dies (camper) – Sale-A-Bration level 2 item
  • 2022-2024 In-Color Designer Series Paper (window shade, bow & banner)
  • Champagne Rhinestone Jewels (coconuts)
  • Blending Brushes
  • Camper was adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • Palm Trees adhered with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional under the branches for depth
