Reason To Celebrate Circles Special Day Z-fold Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features messages from the Reason to Celebrate stamp set scattered among the Stylish Shapes dies circles, giving this card a very fun, festive vibe.  Prints from the Mixed Up Patterns Designer Series Papers (DSP) lend themselves to this whimsical feel along with the Red & White Peppermint embellishments.  

Making it a simple z-fold card extends the party to the inside when open.

Techniques include die cutting, fussy cutting, and a fun fold.

==============================================================================

Beverly's Tip of the Day

Embellishments such as the adhesive-backed peppermints used on this card are so versatile, and work not only as little pinwheels of fun but work great as pom-poms on the party hats as well.  Though these little peppermints came out during this past Christmas season, their versatility continues on.  If you've been following me for awhile, I used them on a birthday card last fall for another festive look. Here's the link to check it out. https://inkinfunwithbeverly.blogspot.com/2025/09/sign-design-celebratory-sips-be-sweet.html

And where did the party hats come from, you ask?  The flip side of the background DSP is a black on gray chevron print, so cutting little triangles for hats was easy peasy.  

======================================================================

Gather Your Supplies:

• Reason To Celebrate stamp set
• Stylish Shapes dies
• Basic White Thick cardstock 
• card base 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored & folded at 2-1/8 & 4-1/4

To create z-fold, fold card base at 4-1/4, then fold it back on itself at the 2-1/8 score line.

Place the four smaller circle dies onto the tone on tone DSP, die cut.  Save the two larger cut-out circles for the inside.

Addressed To You Framed Floral Birthday Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features the versatile Addressed To You stamp set in a color combination of Daffodil Delight, Fresh Freesia and Highland Heather.  This was the color challenge combination for this month from my team leader.  The choice of what to use and how we combine them is completely up to us, and I love how this turned out!  It's the perfect combination for springtime.

Techniques include creating a frame by cutting out the center using the Paper Trimmer, and coloring with Stampin' Blends.

==============================================================================

Beverly's Tip of the Day

You can create a frame for your project easily with the help of the Paper Trimmer.  The blade holder on the Paper Trimmer has a line running perpendicular to the cutting line which allows for you to see exactly where the blade is.  This aids in you knowing where to start and stop the inside cuts. 

Begin by deciding the outer dimension for your frame, then choose how thick you want the frame to be.  This example is with a 1/4" thick frame.  Position cardstock at measurement for frame thickness and  line up the blade the same thickness from the adjacent end

cut along the inside, stopping inside opposite end, leaving the same thickness at the edge

Turn cardstock, cut from previous cut line to opposite end, leaving the same thickness at edge

turn and repeat twice more, until the entire inside has been cut.   

A little snip in the corners to clean up edges is achieved with a sharp tipped scissors if need be. 

======================================================================

Gather Your Supplies:

• Addressed To You stamp set
• Fresh Freesia cardstock 
• card base 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored & folded at 4-1/4
• Basic White cardstock
• 4-3/4 x 3  (will be trimmed down once frame is adhered)
• Daffodil Delight cardstock
• 4-1/8 x 2-1/2
• Highland Heather cardstock
• 4-3/4 x 2-1/2 
• Mixed Up Patterns Designer Series Paper (DSP)
• 5-1/2 x 3/4 yellow/white stripes print with stripes lengthwise
• Gorgeous Grape Classic Stampin' Pad
• Highland Heather Classic Stampin' Pad
• Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends Combo Pack
• Highland Heather Stampin' Blends Combo Pack 
• Rhinestones Basic Jewels
• Paper Trimmer

=============================================================

Here's How It's Made:

Cut a 1/4" frame from Daffodil Delight cardstock by inserting cardstock into Paper Trimmer and cutting out the inside. Detailed instructions are above in Beverly's tip of the day section. 

Ink rectangle frame with Gorgeous Grape, stamp onto Basic White cardstock, centering.  Ink flowers with Gorgeous Grape, stamp into open corner of rectangle.

Color flowers with Light & Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends, leaves and dots with Light & Dark Highland Heather Stampin' Blends.

Adhere frame around stamped area.  NOTE:  Basic White cardstock piece will extend unevenly around frame at this point.  Trim Basic White to an even distance around all four edges of Daffodil Delight frame.

Adhere yellow/white stripe DSP strip to folded card front, centering vertically.  Adhere Highland Heather cardstock over DSP strip, centering on card front.

Adhere Basic White stamped and framed layer to card front.

Stone & Vine Delicate Foliage Thank You Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features the Stone & Vine embossing folder which creates a stunning base for a small cluster of die cut foliage and a sweet thank you message on an elongated hexagon die cut.  The Nature Walk Designer Series Paper (DSP) print provides the perfect color variation for the embossed background.

Techniques include embossing and die cutting.

==============================================================================

Beverly's Tip of the Day

Using embossing folders with a DSP print brings out extra detail to the embossed image.  Because the center of the paper is white, some of the white inner layer is exposed at the edges of the raised image.  To highlight the edges even more, you can also use a fine grit sandpaper or a crafting sanding block to rub off a little more of the surface layer. 

When attaching an embossed DSP layer I recommend using liquid glue.  The paper is softened from the embossing and I've found that using the Stampin' Seal will often tear the top layer of paper.  This is also true with cardstock.  The other option is to use Tear & Tape adhesive.

======================================================================

Gather Your Supplies:

• Delicate Whispers bundle (Save 10% when you purchase stamp set & die with bundle item#)
• Stone & Vine 3D embossing folder
• Basic Beige cardstock 
• card base 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored & folded at 4-1/4
• 3-3/4 x 1-1/2 label die cut
• Very Vanilla cardstock
• 3 x 1-1/2 multi-stem plant die cut
• Old Olive cardstock
• 2-1/4 x 3/4 needle leaf plant die cut
• Pretty Peacock cardstock
• 3-1/2 x 1-1/2 tall curved top plant die cuts 
• Nature Walk Designer Series Paper (DSP)
• 5-1/4 x 4 Lost Lagoon/Old Olive ombre print
• Lost Lagoon Classic Stampin' Pad
• Nested Essentials dies
• Natural Matte Dots
• Very Vanilla Baker's Twine
• Stampin' Dimensionals
• Multipurpose Liquid Glue
• Paper Trimmer
• Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

=============================================================

Here's How It's Made:

Emboss DSP panel, attach to folded card front.  NOTE: Because of the embossing, which softens the paper, I recommend using the multipurpose liquid glue to adhere to your card front.  

Die cut multi-stemmed plant from Very Vanilla, needle-leaf plant from Old Olive, and 2 curved top plants from Pretty Peacock cardstocks.

Arrange on left side of card front, adhere using multipurpose liquid glue.

Ink sentiment with Lost Lagoon, stamp onto Basic Beige cardstock, die cut with 2nd smallest elongated hexagon die.

Adhere label to card front, at bottom of foliage, with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Tie two strands of Baker's Twine to create double bow.  Adhere to upper left of label at bottom of foliage.

Embellish with Natural Matte Dots.
