Fun, Easy Holiday card using Star-Crossed Embossing Folder and Little Delights Stamp Set

         

  • Stampin' Up! Little Delights Stamp Set
  • Seasonal Labels dies and Star-Crossed Embossing Folder
  • Just Days remain to pick up Select Designer Series Papers at 15% off
As soon as I saw the sample card for the Little Delights Stamp Set in the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog, I knew I had to order it and couldn't wait to make the sample card.  It uses a technique called Stamping off so you only use two ink pads--Real Red & Pear Pizzazz--by Stamping off, you end up with additional colors.  I also used one of the dies from the Seasonal Labels Dies to create the label for the sentiment and added a gold Gilded Gem to the corner of the label to add a little bling to the card.  You'll have fun with the Little Delights Stamp Set as an all-around set for Halloween, Christmas, Thank You cards and Birthday Celebration.  This is definitely one of the must-have sets you'll want to add to your Mini Catalog purchases, when it begins 3 August 2021.

The basecard for this card is Real Red Cardstock.  Then a layer of Smoky Slate.  And the image later is Basic White, dry embossed using new Star-Crossed Embossing Folder from the upcoming July-December 2021 Mini catalog.   It creates a diagonal pattern that is half stars and half squares.

I used the little Christmas Tree light bulb to create the pattern on the right side of the card.  I stamped the little light bulbs BEFORE I dry embossed the Basic White sheet.  To create the different colors, I used the Stamping Off technique.  That's where you ink your image and stamp once full strength, and without inking your stamp again, stamp a light shade of the same image  I used this technique with both the Real Red and Pear Pizzazz ink.

Then I selected one of the dies from the new Seasonal Labels Dies that fit my sentiment, and die cut the label using Pear Pizzazz Cardstock.  I used the Merry Christmas stamp from the Little Delights Stamp Set for my sentiment.  Then I added a gold medium sized Gilded Gem to the corner of the sentiment label.

Monochromatic Card using Stampin' Up! Hand-Penned Petals Bundle

        

  • Stampin' Up! Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set
  • Coordinating Penned Flowers Dies
  • Final week to pick up Select Designer Series Papers at 15% off
Sometimes you just need a fast, simple card, when life around you is moving at breakneck speed.  This is another swap card I received from the Annual Catalog swap I did with other Demonstrators.  This card was created by Sandy Haynes.  It features the Penned Flowers Dies and the Scalloped Contour Dies.  The Penned Flowers is part of the Hand-Penned Petals Bundle on page 105 of the Annual catalog.  It is unique in that it not only includes a die cut of one of the images from the Hand-Penned Petals Stamp set, but it includes a drop shadow created using the same die and Soft Succulent cardstock.  I love monochromatic cards using one ink color, and a coordinating cardstock color.  


Floral handmade get well card using Stampin' Up! Hand-Penned Petals Bundle

The basecard for this card is Soft Succulent Cardstock.  Then a layer of Basic White Cardstock die cut using one of the Scalloped Contours Dies.  





Then, an image from the Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set was stamped in Soft Succulent ink and die cut using the Penned Flowers Dies.  A drop shadow was created for the image by die cutting the stamped shape again out of Soft Succulent cardstock, which is offset slightly under the stamped floral image.  The sentiment is also from the Hand-penned Petals Stamp Set and stamped in Soft Succulent ink, and three Rhinestone Basic Jewels adorn the centers of three of the flowers. 
  

This is a well-designed card that anyone from a beginner to an avid stamper would be proud to send to someone they loved.  You can order current Annual Catalog items from my Stampin' Up! shopping site  24 X 7.
