Joyful Flurry Gate Fold Card

 

This card is a gatefold and very easy to make.  I love making fun fold cards.  I used Evergreen Elegance for the base and Soft Succulent for the circle and for the insert inside.  I used the beautiful Texture Chic Designer Series Paper (DSP).  The Basic White Snowflakes are from the Chic Dies.  The sentiment is from the Joyful Flurry stamp set in the Mini Catalog.  My club members will be making this card at our November workshop.

Stamp Sets:  Joyful Flurry, Snowman Magic

Cardstock:  Evergreen Elegance, Soft Succulent, Basic White, and Texture Chic DSP

Ink:  Evergreen Elegance

Other:  Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Chic Dies, Deckled Rectangle Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Paper Trimmer, Simply Scored Scoring Tool, Bone Folder, Clear Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Rhinestones, Glue Dots

 

1.     The base of the card is Evergreen Elegance cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 2-1/8” and 6-3/8” with the Simply Scored Scoring Tool.  Use the Bone Folder to burnish the folds.

2.    Die-cut a Deckled Rectangle from the Evergreen Elegance using the 4^th from the smallest rectangle. 

3.    The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is cut at 1-7/8” x 5-1/4” and cut two for each side panel.  For the rectangle, die-cut the 3^rd from the smallest rectangle and attach it with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

4.    Glue only the left side of the rectangle layers (otherwise, you would glue your card shut so it wouldn’t open).

5.    Cut a Soft Succulent circle with the third largest Stylus Shapes Dies.  Ink up the “Joyful Wishes” sentiment with the Evergreen Elegance ink pad.  Sprinkle Clear Embossing Powder over it.  Shake off the excess and heat set with the Heat Tool.  Layer onto the second largest Evergreen Elegance circle with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhere to the middle of the rectangle with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

6.    Die-cut two Basic White snowflakes from the Chic Dies and attach them to the card with Glue Dots.  Add Rhinestones to the center of each snowflake.

7.    For the inside:  Cut Soft Succulent cardstock at 4” x 5-1/4” and ink up the sentiment "It’s the most magical time of the year” with Evergreen Elegance ink pad and sprinkle Clear Embossing Powder over it.  Shake off excess and heat with the Heat Tool.  Glue it to the inside with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Kindest Santa Gnome - Let It Snow

This is a card I cased from Michele Zindorf's video only I didn't have the snowflake from the Joyful Flurry's set and used the Season of Chic snowflake instead as well as a sentiment "Let it Snow" from a Paper Pumpkin I had called Winter Gifts from 2019.  I still like the way it turned out.

Stamp Sets:  Kindest Gnomes, Season of Chic, and (PP-Winter Gifts 2019 “Let It Snow”)

Cardstock:  Basic White, Cherry Cobbler

Ink:  Tuxedo Black Memento, Balmy Blue, Soft Succulent

Stampin’ Blends:  Pale Papaya, Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black, Light Smokey Slate

Other:  Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Blending Brushes, Wintry 3D Embossing Folder, Paper Snips, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Chic Dies, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, 3” x 5” Post-it Note

 

1.     The base of the card is Basic White cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.

2.    The second layer is Cherry Cobbler cardstock cut at 4” X 5-1/4” and adhered to the base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

3.    Cut Basic White cardstock at 2-3/4” x 4-1/2”.  Tear a 3” x 5” Post-it note across the top but leaving some of the sticky part to cover the bottom inch or so of the Basic White section.

4.    Use a Blending Brush and Balmy Blue ink pad to ink up the sky.  Use a Blending Brush and Soft Succulent ink pad to blend the very top of the sky.  Remove the post-it note and run the section through the 3-D Wintry Embossing Folder (snowflakes) in the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine.

5.    On a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock, ink up the Gnome with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  Color his nose and mouth with the Light Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blend. Color the Gnome’s hat and suit with Light Cherry Cobbler Blend and use the Dark Cherry Cobbler Blend for the shadows.  Color his mittens with the Dark Basic Black Blend and Boots. Use the Paper Snips to fussy cut him out if you don’t want white edges.  Otherwise, use the Gnome Die to die-cut him out.  Adhere him with Multipurpose Liquid Glue with his feet in the snow. 

6.    Use the brush side of the Smokey Slake Blending Brush to make footprints in the snow.

7.    Ink up the snowflake from the Season of Chic stamp with Soft Succulent.  Die-cut it out with the Chic Dies.  Use a Blending Brush to add Balmy Blue ink to the edges.  Adhere with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Add a Rhinestone to the center of the snowflake.

8.    Layer the stamped image section to the Basic White cardstock cut at 2-7/8” x 4-5/8” and adhere to the Cherry Cobbler layer on the front of the card.

9.    Ink up the sentiment “Let It Snow” from the 2019 Paper Pumpkin Winter Gifts on Basic White cardstock and cut it out with the Paper Snips.  (An alternative stamp would be Joyful Flurry stamp set in the 2022 Holiday Catalog on page 19 which has a snowflake and the sentiment “Let it Snow”.)

Stampin' Up! Onstage in Indianapolis at the Convention Center

 

This is a picture of me walking across the stage at the Onstage Convention in Indianapolis on November 12, 2022.  It's hard to believe it's been 20 years since I first became an Independent Demonstrator with Stampin' Up!  I love it even more today than when I first started.  I've met so many wonderful customers who have become my very closest friends.  I love what I do!  I teach my customers how to make cards and projects with various techniques and some of the beginners can't believe how creative they can be.

 

Sending Smiles and Framed Florets

 

  

This is the card I made to swap with other demonstrators at the 2022 Onstage in Indianapolis on November 12. I made about 40 of them and it's so nice to exchange cards with other demos to have samples to show my customers. #StampinUpOnStage
I used two stamp sets. Sending Smiles is from the annual catalog and Framed Florets is in the upcoming 2023 Mini Catalog. If you wanted you could also use the Sending Dies that go with the Sending Smiles but I didn't for this swap card.

Stamp Sets:  Sending Smiles, Framed Florets

Cardstock:  Mossy Meadow, Crushed Curry, and Basic White

Ink:  Tuxedo Black Memento, Crushed Curry, Mossy Meadow, Cajun Craze

Other:  Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Bone Folder, Multipurpose Liquid Glue

 

1.     The base of the card is Mossy Mellow cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 5-1/2” in the middle

2.    The second layer is Crushed Curry cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4”

3.    The third layer is Basic White cardstock cut at 3-3/4” x 5>

4.    Ink up the sentiment from the Framed Florets stamp set “For a Special Person on a Special Day” with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  Stamp it in the upper left-hand corner.

5.    Ink up the stems from the Sending Smiles stamp set with Mossy Meadow ink and stamp three on the front Two with smaller stems, and one with larger stems. Ink up the full-sized daisy with Crushed Curry ink and stamp on the two top flowers.  Ink up the half daisy with Crush Curry and stamp on the lower stem.

6.    For the inside, only stamp the stem on the right side of the Basic White cardstock.  Add the Crushed Curry daisies.  Add the centers of the flowers with Cajun Craze.
