Friendly Foliage Fabulous Sayings Corners Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features the Friendly Foliage stamp and die bundle along with a message from the Fabulous Sayings stamp set.


This card includes multiple die cutting techniques.

Beverly's Tip of the Day

When I'm working with a design such as this, with multiple pieces comprising the decorative feature, I arrange the pieces to my liking, then take a picture of them.  This way, as I remove the pieces to glue them down, I can refer to the picture to get the placement where I want it.  For larger pieces, using a  repositionable adhesive (non-Stampin' Up! product) on the back makes it much easier to place pieces and have them stay put until you've decided on the final design.  Then permanent adhesive is applied to assemble the card.

    • card base 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored & folded at 4-1/4
  • Basic White cardstock
    • 4-3/4 x 3-1/2 
    • 2-3/4 x 1-5/8 for die cut label
    • scraps for die cuts
  • Calypso Coral cardstock
    • 2 x 3/4 w/adhesive sheet attached

  • Adhesive Sheets
  • Mini glue dots
  • Multipurpose liquid glue
  • Paper Trimmer
  • Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
=============================================================
Here's How It's Made:

Ink small leaf strip stamp with Crumb Cake, stamp along top, beginning close to left edge, of Basic White cardstock panel.  Re-ink and stamp along left edge beginning below left edge of previous stamped image.  Adhere a 2 x 2 square of adhesive sheet to lower right of panel, place open leaf die cut at angle in lower right corner, die cut.  Save die cut branch, as you will be re-inserting it into the opening.  Ink long leafy branch with Secret Sea, stamp off once, stamp along right edge with bottom of stem at bottom of die cut stem.


Ink long leafy branch with Calypso Coral, stamp onto Basic White cardstock scrap, die cut.  Ink short leafy branch with Calypso Coral, stamp off once, stamp onto Basic White cardstock scrap, die cut.  Ink short leafy branch with Secret Sea, stamp onto Basic White cardstock scrap, die cut.  With adhesive sheet attached, die cut open leaf die from Calypso Coral cardstock.


Cut DSP piece diagonally.  


Adhere a triangle of DSP at upper left of Basic White cardstock panel, leaving 1/4" exposed on top and left.  Adhere assembled layers to Crumb Cake folded card front.  Peel backing from Basic White open leaf die cut, insert into opening it was cut from.  Position tall Calypso Coral die cut between stamped image and die cut leaf piece.



Ink message with Calypso Coral, stamp onto Basic White cardstock piece, leaving approx 3/8" at left and top.  Position smallest Branching Out label die at left and above message, die cut.  NOTE: the die will extend beyond the piece of cardstock.


Position the die so right and bottom edges are at right and bottom of message, die cut.  This will  give you a label that has curved indentations at upper left and lower right, with right angles at upper right and lower left.


Adhere label at upper left of card, just inside stamped leaf strips.

Position the remainder of the die cuts at lower right of card as shown.  

NOTE: I use multiple adhesives when adhering pieces that are overlapping like this.  I used Multipurpose liquid glue for the tall Coral Calypso and short Secret Sea pieces.  The Calypso Coral open leaf die cut had the adhesive sheet on the back, and for the final short Calypso Coral piece, I used 3 mini glue dots.  By using the mini glue dots, it gives it a little height and it allows it to lay down evenly.  If I had used the adhesive sheet or liquid glue and pressed it down, it would have been rippled from going over the different thicknesses of the die cuts beneath it.


Tie bow from Crumb Cake Baker's Twine, adhere at bottom of stems with mini glue dot.  Embellish with Secret Sea small and medium Flat Pearls.

Hobby Haven Suite Double Tag Friendship Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features the Creative Haven stamp & die bundle, Hobby Haven Designer Series Papers (DSP) and Earthy Matte Dots, all of which are part of the Hobby Haven Suite Collection.  The Designer Series Paper prints have objects dedicated to various interests which include baking/cooking, sewing/crafting, plants/decor, reading/books and beauty/spa images. This pack of paper also includes two sheets of die cut punch outs which coordinate with all the prints, allowing you to have many choices to create cards and projects for all kinds of people.


This design was inspired by a team meeting Mystery Card Challenge, and I love the idea of having the tag for part of the message and another part stamped below it.  It's not something I would usually think to do, but I love the way it looks, and the wonderfully large sized messages in the Creative Haven stamp set are the perfect stamps to do this technique with.

You know, I always advise my friends and customers to buy the bundle.  Even if you don't think you'll use part of it, buy it anyhow.  Well, I didn't follow my own advice on this one, thinking I'd be just fine with the dies only.  Ha!  I bought the dies, used them, and then took another look at the stamp set, and decided I needed it for the wonderful messages and the fun decorative elements included in the messages, so I bought it later.  I'm thrilled that I did, and lesson learned, just buy the dang bundle to begin with! 

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

Beverly's Tip of the Day

I'll admit, I sometimes struggle with how to use DSP prints that have multiple images scattered all over.  My first impression is to always try and cut out an image or a grouping to create the general theme.  These DSP prints are wonderful prints, and this layout is a great way to use them.  A strip that covers part of the card front paired with a large-print message is a great way to use the print.  

I love that I am always learning new ways to create cards and in turn, share them with you.

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

Gather Your Supplies:

  • Creative Haven bundle (Save 10% when you purchase stamp set & die with bundle item#)
  • Pool Party cardstock 
    • card base 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored & folded at 4-1/4
  • Pecan Pie cardstock
    • 5-1/2 x 2-1/4
    • tag die cut (2-1/8 x 1-3/4)
  • Early Espresso cardstock
    • tag die cut 2-1/8 x 1-3/4)
  • Hobby Haven Designer Series Paper (DSP)
    • 5-1/2 x 2 
  • Early Espresso Classic Stampin' Pad
  • Early Espresso linen thread - 9"
  • Early Espresso Earthy Matte Dots
  • Stampin' Dimensionals
  • Paper Trimmer
  • Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
=============================================================
Here's How It's Made:

Adhere DSP to Pecan Pie cardstock, adhere to folded card front on left side, 1/4" from fold.  Ink "so happy..." with Early Espresso, stamp in lower right of card front.



Ink "You're the Best" with Early Espresso, stamp onto Pecan Pie tag.  Thread Early Espresso linen thread through both Pecan Pie and Early Espresso tag holes, tie into a bow.  Arrange the tags at opposite angles, adhere to upper center right part of card, partially over DSP strip, with Stampin' Dimensionals.


Embellish with Early Espresso Matte Dots.


Here's what the inside looks like:

With all the fun die cut punch outs, it seemed only right to add a couple more inside, along with another message.

Ink message with Early Espresso, stamp in upper part of card.  Choose a couple theme appropriate punch outs, and adhere near the bottom of the inside of the card.
