Petal Burst with the Free as a Bird Bundle

Today I’m sharing a card I made using the Petal Burst embossing folder along with the new Free as a Bird Bundle. I tool the cardstock colors from the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper. See the frame behind the sentiment? The Stitched Nested Labels Dies cut out a stitched shape, and leave a stitched outline on the paper it’s cut from. I couldn’t let that go to waste, now could I? I used my trimmer to cut that out, and used it as a decorative piece on my card. What do you think?

Daisy Lane Moments Card

This is the third card I’ve made using the new Daisy Lane stamp set. You can see the first two here and here. Sometimes I pull out a stamp set and only make one project, and sometimes I make several. I’m excited about the new Medium Daisy Punch that coordinates with this new stamp set. The current Daisy Punch, which I used today, also coordinates with it.

Here’s what I made:

Bird Ballad Laser Cut Cards with a Perennial Flower

For today’s card I used the new Bird Ballad Laser-Cut Cards and Envelopes. You get 12 cards and 12 envelopes, all in Very Vanilla, in a beautiful Petal Pink and gold tin. I also used two new bundles: the Free as a Bird bundle (Free as a Bird stamp set and Stitched Nested Labels Dies) for the sentiment, and the Floral Essence bundle (Floral Essence stamp set and Perennial Flower Punch) for the flower. These laser cut cards are so exquisite, they really don’t need much on them. And the envelopes, which I forgot to photograph, have a pretty scalloped flap. Of course, I may have to get more just for the pretty tin box!

Daisy Lane Smile

Today you’re getting another sneak peek of some brand new products: the Daisy Lane stamp set, Garden Lane Designer Series Paper, and Mint Macaron 1/4″ Textile Ribbon. I wanted to use a piece of Mossy Meadow ribbon, so I used a Stampin’ Write Marker to color a white one – the technique is an oldie but a goodie.

This is the second card I’ve made using the Daisy Lane stamp set. You can see the first one here.

If you’re a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator like myself, today is a big day. We get to preorder from the new catalog! (If you’d like to order  earlier that everyone else, join my team.) I’ll also be ordering catalogs, so let me know if you want one mailed to you by completing the form here.

S

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:

  • Soft Sea Foam card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
  • Garden Lane Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″
  • Whisper White CS layer cut to 3-1/4″ x 2-3/4″
  • Whisper White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ for the inside of the card – This is optional, since the Soft Sea Foam CS is light enough to write on.

Stamped with the Daisy Lane stamp set:

  • fern in Garden Green ink onto the Whisper White CS layer
  • sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink onto the Whisper White CS layer

Colored using a Stampin’ Write Marker:

  • a piece of Whisper White 1/8″ ribbon in Mossy Meadow

Assembled the card:

  • burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
  • 3 pieces of ribbon (the one I colored, a piece of the same ribbon left white, and a piece of the new Mint Macaron 1/4″ Textile Ribbon) folded in half and stapled onto the DSP layer (or you can staple just the ribbons together, then adhere them to the DSP layer using Mini Glue Dots)
  • DSP layer glued onto the front of the card base
  • stamped layer adhered onto the DSP layer using Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • optional: Whisper White CS glued onto the inside of the card base

Daisy Lane Friend

I used some brand new products to make today’s card. Don’t you just love sneak peeks? The Daisy Lane stamp set coordinates with the returning Daisy Punch, and will be available in a bundle (to dave 10%) with the new Medium Daisy Punch. I opted to use a lovely fern from the set instead of a daisy. I’ve used it today with the new Stitched Nested Dies, the new Flower Faceted Gems embellishments, card stock and ink in the new In Color Rococo Rose, and the returning Everyday Label Punch. I used the stamping off technique to get the graduated color effect of the leaves.

Sneak Peek Stampin' Up! Daisy Lane from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog handmade friend card made by Candy Ford of Stamp Candy


Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:

  • Crumb Cake card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
  • Rococo Rose CS layer cut to 5-1/8″ x 3-7/8″
  • Whisper White CS layer cut to 5″ x 3-3/4″
  • Whisper White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ for the inside of the card

Stamped with the Daisy Lane stamp set:

  • sentiment in Rococo Rose ink onto a scrap of Whisper White CS
  • leaf in Old Olive ink onto the Whisper White CS layer images, in a fan design
  • NOTE: I stamped the one on the bottom left first, then without reinking, stamped the next one up and the one above that. I did the same thing on the right side, but stamped a fourth time at the very top. So the top center one is the lightest.

Cut using the Stitched Nested Labels Dies:

  • sentiment

Cut using the Everyday Label Punch:

  • a scrap of Crumb Cake CS

Assembled the card:

  • burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
  • Rococo Rose CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
  • Whisper White CS layer glued onto the Rococo Rose CS layer
  • sentiment glued onto the punched Crumb Cake CS piece
  • punched Crumb Cake CS piece adhere onto the Whisper White CS layer using Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • flower embellishment applied onto the Whisper White CS layer (this flower is actually Terracotta Tile, but is close enough to Rococo Rose for this project.)
  • Whisper White CS glued onto the inside of the card base

Lily Pad Lake with a Color Sneak Peek

I made today’s card using the Lilypad Lake stamp set and Lakeside dies. They will be carrying over to the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, but not as a bundle. So if you want them, I recommend getting them before June 3 so you can save some money.

I also used a couple the new 2019-2021 In Colors, Seaside Spray and Pretty Peacock (which will be available beginning June 4, 2019) along with Pool Party, Real Red, Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight, and Whisper White.
