E is for Early Espresso

Stampin' Up! ABC Color Series - visit juststampin.com for color inspiration and color combinations from A to Z - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Welcome to my ABC Color Series! Stampin’ Up! offers so many great color choices!  I love to combine different colors and patterns and hope to inspire you with some fun color combinations throughout this series. Today’s project features a color I don’t use very often, Early Espresso. Early Espresso is part of Stampin’ Up!’s Neutrals Collection. Today’s card combines Early Espresso with Real Red and Granny Apple Green…colors we find in nature.

Stampin' Up! Apple Harvest Get well card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I used my Stampin’ Blends to color the apples from the Apple Harvest Stamp Set. I cut the image out with the Scalloped Contours Die then decided to trim off the scallop edges. (If you own the Stitched Rectangle Dies you could use those to achieve the same effect.) I love the texture you get with embossing folders. The Basics 3D Embossing Folders are not found in the catalog.  They are an online exclusive and I love all 3 of them! I used the dots for this card. This card has several layers.

Supplies/ Measurements:

Card Base (Real Red): 5 ½ x 8 ½ score @ 4 ¼
Layer 1 (Basic White cardstock): 4 x 5 ¼
Layer 2 (Real Red Cardstock): 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 embossed with Basic Dots Embossing Folder
Layer 3 (Early Espresso cardstock): 3 x 4 1/4
Layer 4 (Basic White): 3 1/2 x 5 cut with Scalloped Contours Die
Layer 5 (Basic White): scrap to stamp sentiment and cut with Stylish Shapes Die
Inside Layer (Basic White): 4 x 5 1/4

Directions:

  1. Fold and burnish card base along score line.
  2. Adhere red embossed layer to Basic White then to card base.
  3. Stamp sentiment on Basic white with Memento Black Ink and color with Stampin’ Blends. Cut with Scalloped Contours Die. Cut off scallops with Paper Trimmer.
  4. Adhere to Early Espresso as shown. Adhere Early Espresso to card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  5. Stamp sentiment in Early Espresso and cut with Stylish Shapes Die. Trim ends as shown. Adhere to card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  6. Make a double bow with twine and adhere with Mini Glue Dot.
  7. Adhere white layer inside card. Stamp sentiment or add handwritten note.
  8. Adhere 1/4 x 6 Early Espresso strip and 2 x 6 DSP strip to envelope flap and trim to fit.

    It’s almost apple season here in Maryland and my favorite kind of apple is Honeycrisp. What’s your favorite apple? I’d love to hear from you. Leave a comment below.

You Make My Heart Happy & February Just Stampin’ Card Kit and 3D Project Buffet To Go!

Today I’m sharing a fun pop up card and the Love You Always Treat Box. Both of these projects were included in my Just Stampin’ Card Kit in January.
Stampin' Up! Flower & Field Designer Series Paper card and treat box idea with Love You Always Treat Box and Heart Punch Pack - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Hearts are so versatile and can be used for all kinds of cards and projects throughout the year (thinking of you, get well, sending love, wedding, anniversary, etc.). I love the sentiment from the Punch Party Stamp Set (“You make my heart happy”) as it is so versatile. This stamp set is only available during Sale-A-Bration and it coordinates with 3 different punches (Double Oval Heart Punch Pack, Rectangle Postage Stamp). *See below how you can get the stamp set for FREE!

I like to show different ways to use product in my kits. I embossed the pop up heart on the inside of the card.
Stampin' Up! Heart Punch Pack and Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder for a fun pop up card - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Everything in my kits is cut, punched, embossed, and ready for you to stamp and adhere.  You use your own stamps, ink, and adhesive. When I’m creating the step by step photo tutorials to go with my kits, I show different sentiments that work well with the punched or die cut pieces. I include a list of stamp sets and showcase alternative sentiments.
Stampin' Up! Heart Punch Pack - for inspiration and information on kits to go visit juststampin.com - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
These sentiments could work with the card or treat box.
Stampin' Up! So Sentimental Love You Always Treat Box - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I was really surprised with how much you can fit in the new treat boxes featured in the Mini Catalog (found on page 11). My kits are a way for you to see and try out different products. I designed a get well box and fit a package of tissues, lip balm, cough drops, and a tea bag. These boxes are so much fun to decorate and fill!
Stampin' Up! So Sentimental Love You Always Get Well Treat Box idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I don’t showcase the contents of my kits in advance. My “Kit Buffet TO GO!” is intended to make it easy for you to be able to see and try out different products while being able to substitute different stamps you already have. You don’t need a specific stamp set. And you don’t have to worry about having coordinating designer series paper to go with the cardstock, the right color ribbon to match, or other embellishments…everything is in the kit and shipped to you!  You just need to stamp and adhere. If you like the style of cards and projects I showcase on my blog, you’ll be receiving the same style in my kits. (*One card is always a fun fold.) It is a fun crafting surprise delivered to your door.  I email the tutorial to put your kit together when I send out your kit. I can only make so many each month and I usually sell out before the end date. If you would like to receive my February kit you can sign up now.  Here’s the details:

My kit arrived today and I’m so excited!  What great cards and I love the flexibility.  They’re beautiful.   Thanks, Susan

I love your kits. Your attention to detail is amazing. Instructions are fantastic and precise so that each item is quick and easy to put together. The pictures are a big plus in following the instructions.. Thank you so much for making these kits available to us.   Bernice P

Your kit arrived yesterday and I’ve had great fun putting it together. You did a terrific job!  I love the way everything coordinates (which is my biggest challenge) and the kit was so well organized with the pieces for the box all together neatly in a glassine envelope.  Such attention to detail!  

Your instructions were impeccable.  Your pictures were beautiful and a big help in putting everything together. Obviously I am very pleased. And I will be ordering again if you have future kits.    Thank you so much,
Deborah M

Have a great day! Stay Safe! Stay well!
