Saying Goodbye with Beside Me – GDP490 Challenge

As we flip through the final pages of this Stampin’ Up! catalog, it’s always bittersweet to say goodbye to some of our favorite products. I’ve challenged my self to create a project featuring each of the sets I currently own.

To start off, I wanted to create something meaningful using one of the retiring stamp sets — Beside Me. It’s a set that’s brought so much heart to my projects, and I wanted to give it a proper send-off.

For this card, I followed the sketch from this week’s Global Design Project Challenge #GDP490 I love how their layouts push me creatively while giving just enough structure to get started. The image I chose from Beside Me captures a beautiful father-child moment, and I paired it with soft colors and layered elements to give it a warm, heartfelt feel.

If you’ve been holding off on this stamp set, now’s your chance before it’s gone for good! It’s perfect for Father’s Day, birthdays, or any time you want to create a card with a personal, emotional touch.

Let me know what you think of this week’s project — and if you’re playing along with #GDP490, I’d love to see your take too!

Stamp with Me Monday: Craft a Simple, Versatile Card Layout

I have been sharing a lot lately on my Facebook page; however, I feel that it’s easier to share more details with you on my blog. My goal it to go live every Monday (currently on Facebook) with the first Monday featuring a project you can stamp along with me. I have lots of videos and samples on my Facebook page if you want to check them out.

For these projects there is no need to have the exact product I’m using. Instead I give you basic information to grab from your supplies and how to turn it into a stunning project. Below you will find everything you need to follow along. Then watch the video to learn how to create your own projects.

In this video, I created a simple yet versatile card design that allows you to craft multiple unique cards, each with its own flair!

Here’s what you’ll need to follow along:

  • Designer paper: 3″ x 4-1/2″ (a bold design works best!)
  • Two coordinating cardstock pieces: 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ & 3-3/4″ x 5″
  • Card base: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ (scored at 4-1/4″)
  • Scrap pieces for a stamped image or sentiment (I’m keeping mine simple with just a greeting!)
  • Optional: Ribbon & coordinating embellishments

You may have heard me mention creating your own designer series paper during the video, so I decided to give it a try and loved it so much I had to share. I created a quick video if you want to learn more.

Fun Fold Graduation Card

If you are like me you’ll notice that it’s that time of year again and while I don’t have one of my own children graduating this year I have plenty of family and friends celebrating this awesome achievement. I wanted to create a unique card for them and loved how it turned out so much that I wanted to share it with you. I had actually seen this technique before and went searching for it. However; what I found wasn’t quite what I was looking for so I took what I found and tweaked it a bit to make it work for me.

You’ll notice that I have two different styles for you. The first set are the second ones that I made when I wanted to make ones that were more generic and to create a video for you. The first ones I made for my nephew and good friend who were graduating from Utah State University who just happen to have the colors of blue. I will say that the tassel was easier to make out of bakers twine than it was out of the gold cord. As I mention in the video the adhesive strips make this project a lot easier to apply the double layers of letters.

These are the measurements that I used when creating this card. I will mention that when I put the card in a regular size envelope it did end up just a tiny bit larger that the 5 1/2″ of a standard card, so you may want to trim it down to 9″ with the card section that opens to 5″. It did fit fine in a clear envelope though.

One of the cards I was giving away was for one of my employees and I wanted to have more room for people to sign the card for her. This was easily solved by attaching it to a regular card front. I stamped the front of the card before attaching the graduation card since you would be able to see the top corners. You could also use this technique and instead of having the section on the card open you can design something flat and then attach to a standard size card.

I hope you enjoy the video and please share it with your friends. If you have any questions or need additional information please feel free to contact me. Remember you can purchase any of the items you’ve seen by going to my website at www.candiceanderson.stampinup.net.
