Everyone Needs A Friend Like You

February 23, 2017February 7, 2018 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 20 Comments

Today’s card is the result of several factors…I didn’t clean up my craft area after creating yesterday’s cards, mint macaron was everyone’s favorite choice from yesterday’s comments, I love this sentiment and font from Suite Sentiments, and I have some pretty amazing friends! I love this card inspired by Olga Cavanaugh.

Stampin Up Suite Sentiments Friend card idea- Jeanie Stark StampinUp

The glimmer paper, mint macaron cardstock, Succulent Garden DSP and framelits were just sitting on my desk. I cut the glimmer paper with the So Detailed Thinlits Dies using my Big Shot and the Precision Base Plate. I attached it to the mint macaron cardstock using Tear & Tape along the top of the die. Then I cut a piece of DSP 2 1/4 x 5 1/2 and adhered the ribbon with Tear & Tape before adhering the DSP to the card base.

I stamped the sentiment in Mint Macaron ink and cut it out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits. I used the Layering Ovals Framelits to cut a mat in Mint Macaron. I attached this layer to the base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I made a triple bow with mint macaron 3/8″ Sheer Linen Ribbon and attached it with a glue dot.

Yesterday I shared the 3 new Sale-A-Bration items. My favorite new item is the 6″ x 6″ Glimmer Paper Assortment Pack! I need a lot of thank you cards so I decided to play with the new glimmer paper to make some cards.

Stampin Up Clean & Simple Bold Butterfly Thank You card ideas - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

I have used this simple card design before. You can change the DSP and choose a variety of sentiments then cut them out using the Stitched Shapes Framelits and the Layering Ovals Framelits. I used DSP from Floral Boutique, Succulent Garden, and Blooms & Bliss. The DSP is cut at 3 1/4 x 3 1/2 and matted with a layer of cardstock that measures 3 3/8 x 3 5/8. I chose colors to coordinate with the new glimmer paper from Sale-A-Bration…Bermuda Bay with Night of Navy, Sweet Sugarplum with Old Olive, and Mint Macaron with Island Indigo.

The sentiments are from Suite Sayings, Suite Sentiments, and Dragonfly Dreams though many others would fit as well. I used the Bold Butterfly Framelits to cut the butterflies from each of the different colors of glimmer paper. The 6 x 6 Glimmer Paper Assortment Pack comes with 12 sheets; 4 each of 3 colors (Bermuda Bay, Mint Macaron, Sweet Sugarplum).

S is for Stylish Stems

January 28, 2017 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 8 Comments

Welcome to my alphabet series showcasing some of the new products in the 2017 Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catalogs. Today I am showcasing the Stylish Stems Framelits Dies and Special Reason Stamp Set featured on page 42 in the Occasions catalog.

I love fun fold cards! This pocket card is very simple to make. I started with a piece of 4 1/4 x 11 Sahara Sand as my card base. I scored it at 1 1/4 and 5 1/2. The fold is on the bottom and the 1 1/4 piece folds down on the front of the card. I didn’t adhere the sides as the ribbon holds it together. I just wrapped it around the card and tied a simple knot. I cut a 2 x 4 1/4 piece of Falling in Love Designer Series Paper and adhered it to a layer of Sweet Sugarplum that measures 2 1/4 x 4 1/4. The insert piece measures 3 1/2 x 5 (Very Vanilla) and 3 3/4 x 5 1/4 (Sweet Sugarplum). I stamped the sentiment in Sweet Sugarplum ink.

Next, I stamped and cut my floral pieces and layered them on my card.

The Stylish Stems Framelits are unique and very versatile. Let me forewarn you… these were not on my original wish list as I felt I already had enough florals but, once I saw this video and all the different possibilities, I knew I had to add them to my collection. I always say, it has to be versatile for me to invest and this one definitely fits that bill! It may just be my new favorite floral! Check out this video (if you dare)! LOL

I love the projects Holly created in the video and I especially like how you can use the negative image from the die to create different projects.

I had so much fun playing and creating with the Stylish Stem Framelits. Here’s another card I made. The card measurements are the same but this one is made with the Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper, Silver Metallic Ribbon (from Sale-A-Bration), Silver Foil, and Silver Embossing Powder.

Here’s how I layered the floral using the Stylish Stem Framelits and the Layering Circles Framelits.

Which one do you prefer?

I made coordinating envelopes but forgot to photograph the second one. Oops!

Here’s another look at the projects Holly created in the video.So pretty!!!

The Stylish Stems Dies coordinate beautifully with the Special Reason Stamp set which has great sentiments. You can never go wrong with a set of sentiment stamps!
