I am heading to Atlanta this afternoon to see my daughter, attend World Card Making Day with fellow demonstrators, and go to Stampin’ Up!’s On Stage Convention! I am so excited!!! I have been a busy beaver making cards to swap, a 3D project to share, as well as a shoebox swap! I will be sharing my projects as well as all the ones I make and receive at these events. Lots of inspiration ahead!

Today’s card is for my daughter’s birthday. I am thrilled to be able to deliver it in person to her when I get to Atlanta. We are going out to dinner to one of her favorite places, The Cheesecake Factory! YUM!! I made her a double Z fold card (for the last letter in this alphabet series). I CASEd the Z fold design from Susy Wood.

You can see the two Z’s when you look down on the card.

This card is not as hard as it looks to make. It is actually rather easy! I started with a piece of 4 1/4 x 11 Flirty Flamingo cardstock. I scored it at 2 3/4″ and 5 1/2″. I cut another strip of Flirty Flamingo at 1 1/2 x 11″ and scored it the same as the card base. (You just flip it so that it folds the opposite of the card base.) I attached a piece of 4 x 2 1/2″ DSP to the front. I stamped the Happy Birthday in Black Momento Ink on a piece of Whisper White that measures 3 x 2 3/4″ and adhered it to a layer of Flirty Flamingo 1/4″ larger (3 1/4 x 3). This is adhered to a layer of Basic Black that measures 3 1/2 x 3 1/4. Next I stamped the flowers from the Grateful Bunch stamp set using Black Momento ink and punched the flowers using the Blossom Punch. I added Rhinestones for some bling, attached the flowers with Glue Dots, and tied a piece of Organza ribbon in a knot. Here’a another view with the card open.

B is for Blooms & Bliss DSP

October 4, 2016 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 5 Comments

Welcome to my new alphabet series, The ABC’s with DSP. This month I am featuring projects showcasing Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper. Today’s cards showcase paper from the Blooms & Bliss Designer Series Paper.

I used a 6 x 6 piece of DSP for each of these cards. I love to challenge myself to use paper in different ways. I cut each piece the same, used every piece on my card, and just varied the layouts for each. Here is how I cut the 6 x 6 DSP for each. First, I cut the DSP at 3 3/4 which gave me 2 pieces: 1 measuring 2 1/4 x 6 (to be used for the envelope flap) and 1 piece measuring 3 3/4 x 6. I cut this piece at 5″. My 3 cuts measure: 2 1/4 x 6, 3 3/4 x 5, and 3 3/4 x 1.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month so I made this first card for the ladies at the shop where I sell my cards to raise money for our local chapter for Breast Cancer.

I adhered my DSP to a piece of Blushing Bride cardstock a smidge larger (3 7/8 x 5 1/8) and attached this to the Rich Razzleberry card base. I layered the 1 inch strip of DSP on a piece of 1 1/4 x 3 3/4 Blushing Bride and adhered this to the card. My sentiment is from the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits which I cut from Blushing Bride. The Sweet Sugarplum Glitter Ribbon is attached with a glue dot. Here’s my matching envelope.

For my other 2 cards I just adhered the 1″ strip of DSP on top of the larger piece and adhered these to a layer of cardstock just a smidge larger. I love the way the designs and patterns in this DSP compliment each other.

I stamped thanks from the Watercolor Wishes stamp set in Island Indigo and punched the end with the Triple Banner Punch. I used Stylized Birthday for the sentiment on the other card and cut it out with the Layering Ovals Framelits. I popped this up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the flowers from Petite Petals in mint macaron and island indigo ink. I punched these out with the matching Petite Petals Punch. The mint macaron ribbon used on both of these cards is from the trio pack in the Holiday catalog (page 47).

Stamp Sets: Watercolor Wishes, Stylized Birthday, Petite Petals Inks: Island Indigo, Mint Macaron Papers: Rich Razzleberry, Blushing Bride, Island Indigo, Mint Macaron, Whisper White, Blooms & Bliss Designer Series Paper Tools & Accessories: Sunshine Wishes Thinlits, Petite Petals Punch, Triple Banner Punch, Layering Ovals Framelits, Mint Macaron 3/8″ Ribbon, Sweet Sugarplum 3/8″ Glitter Ribbon, Glue Dots, Stampin’ Dimensionals

Look at all the coordinating colors that go with the Blooms & Bliss Designer Series Paper: Blushing Bride, Island Indigo, Mint Macaron, Rich Razzleberry, Sahara Sand, Sweet Sugarplum, Whisper White. There are so many possibilities you can do with these colors as you mix and match with the DSP.

Sunday Showcase…Card Swap Part 1

August 21, 2016August 21, 2016 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 3 Comments

I promised to share with you the cards I received from the card swap. I have received about half of them so far and the rest should be arriving this week. This card swap is showcasing new stamp sets from the annual catalog. Check these out…

I love the coral, white, and sand color combination Denise used along with a touch of yellow for the flowers. This card showcases the Swirly Bird stamp set and matching Swirly Scribbles Thinlits. So pretty!!!

This card is over the top! Susie used a bunch of different stamp sets to create this card: Gorgeous Grunge, Playful Backgrounds, Time of Year, Garden in Bloom, Stylized Birthday, Birthday Banners, and Balloon Celebration. I’m afraid the photo does not do it justice as you can’t see the way it sparkles on the front. Here’s another photo showing the inside…the sentiment appears like magic when you open it!

I need to give this inside fold a try. So cool!

Mary used the new exclusive hostess set, Baskets for You, with Stampin’ Up markers, Aqua painter, and colored pencils to color the flowers in the basket. The sentiment is from Best Birds stamp set. I like the way the basket looks like it is just sitting on the mantle. How clever!

Carolyn used one of my favorite new stamp sets and matching die cut, Flourishing Phrases. This would make a beautiful set of notecards to give as a gift someone.

The Hardwood stamp set used here is not new but the May Flowers Framelits are. These framelits are on my wish list. I love the way Beverly layered the flowers to add dimension.

I will be sharing more swap cards when they arrive. I hope you will check back again. Reminder…today is the last day to enter the Jar of Love contest. If you missed that post you can click HERE to enter.

You can purchase any of the stamp sets or products shown here in my online store. Click the SHOP STAMPIN’ UP button at the top and anything you order will be delivered directly to your door! I appreciate your support. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Have a wonderful day!
