Goodbye Designer Series Paper

We have so many great Designer Series Papers (DSP) and I wanted to feature a few projects using some of these papers that will be going away. While many of the stamp sets that I am featuring will be carrying over unfortunately the DSP will not be. Sometimes they carry over, but with a major color change like we are having we will be getting all new DSP.

I had a lot of fun with these cards. My husband and I actually met when I asked him for a ride on his motorcycle almost 30 years ago. His favorite colors are purple and green so when I finally had a chance to play with this set I had him help me with the coloring. You’ll notice that the motorcycles vary a bit from each other as I played with different combinations. I’m featuring the Ready to Ride DSP which is part of the Suite Collection along with the Silver Foil that has been embossed.

  • 160762 – Legendary Ride Dies (C) (M)
  • 160763 – Legendary Ride Bundle (R) (M)

  • 160766 – Metal Plate 3DEmbossing Folder (C) (M)

  • 156457 – Silver Foil 12 x 12 Specialty Paper (R)
  • 155766 – Simply Elegant Trim (C)
  • Colors – Gorgeous Grape (C), Parakeet Party (C), Basic White (C), Basic Black (C), Basic Gray (C)

(R) Retiring, (C) Carrying Over, (M) Found in the Mini Catalog

Here’s one more card using this suite. I will list the additional products used along with the colors. One of the things I love about his card is how well the large watercolor world stamp set works so well with the motorcycle.

  • 160708 – Watercolor World Stamp Set (C) (M)
  • Colors – Pumpkin Pie (C), Basic Grey (C), Sahara Sand (R), Basic Black (C)

I am in love with this quick and easy layout. I’ve actually made multiple cards using this layout. I was going off a similar layout and cut the paper the wrong size however once I did I decided I liked this size even better. This card works perfect with our DSP. Simply cut your DSP into 4 x 8. You can get four cards out of one piece of DSP and still have a 4×4 square left for other projects. To finish you will score it at 2″ and 4″. Attached the 4×4 section to a 4 1/4″ by 4 1/4″ background and decorate how you want. The main image is designed to be centered and only attach to half the card when folded back like a Z-Fold card. This hides the image below which is in a similar shape.

  • 155092 – Butterfly Brilliance Stamp Set (R)
  • 155766 – Simply Elegant Trim (C)
  • 159245 – Pretty Prints DSP (R)
  • 155523 – Brilliant Wings Dies (R)

  • 154289 – Opal Rounds (R)
  • Colors – Blackberry Bliss (C), Rich Razzleberry (R), Basic White (C), Shaded Spruce (C)

(R) Retiring, (C) Carrying Over

Here’s another sample using the same design. This one features the darling Rhino Ready online exclusive stamp set. This time I used circles rather than squares and the hostess designer series paper.

  • 160959 – Rhino Ready Stamp Set (O)
    • Rhino Ready Dies – Currently Unavailable -Online Exclusive

Happy Birthday

Did you know that today is my birthday!

Yep it is and to celebrate I wanted to share with you three different birthday card sets featuring retiring stamp sets. This first set is my favorite; however, one of the things I like about all these cards is that the layouts are mostly interchangeable. I’ve used the current In Colors on all these cards. While these colors will be around for another year, many of the accessories are not so I recommend grabbing them soon before they are gone (if they aren’t already.) There are three cards for each stamp set as there are three main images in each set. Also, each set uses the same layout but each card is twisted to show the versatility of the layouts.

Party Puffins

This set features a pocket to hold a gift card or cash for a quick and easy gift. I love how easy it is to create this pocket. I actually saw a tutorial for it on Facebook. I will work to get a video done to show you how easy it is to create this pocket. One of my favorite parts of this set of cards is the background. Even though the colors are all different the background is created the same way. I actually used a VersaMark pad and clear embossing powder rather than stamping it with the ink. This is what gives it the shine that you see. I also added shine to the penguin birthday hats using the Wink of Stella Brush.

  • 155054 – Party Puffins Stamp Set (R)
  • 158925 – Rays of Light Stamp Set (C)
  • 151770 – Layering Circles Dies (R)
  • 159200 – Sweet Sorbet 1/8″ Metallic Woven Ribbon (C)
  • 159196 – Parakeet Party 1/8″ Metallic Woven Ribbon (C)
  • 159198 – Starry Sky 1/8″ Metallic Woven Ribbon (C)
  • 159186 – 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots (R)
  • 155554 – Basics Emboss Powders, Clear (C)
  • 102283 – VersaMark Pad (C)
  • 132708 – Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (C)
  • 159219 – 2022-2024 In Color Markers (C)

  • Colors – Sweet Sorbet (C), Parakeet Party (C), Tahitian Tide (C), Starry Sky (C), Orchid Oasis (C), Basic White (C), Basic Black (C)

(R) Retiring , (C) Carrying Over

This Birthday Piggy

I featured the In Color designer series paper for this set of cards and a design that uses a half cut front. The part that is cut off is actually scored and placed under the background paper to create the part that flips over the card you can see this in the open section. I made sure to include the greeting beneath the flipped section. I will admit that I used the dies that were available a while back to cut out the images rather than fussy cutting them. They were available on the clearance rack, but I’m not sure if they are still there.

  • 159107 – This Birthday Piggy Stamp Set (R)
  • 159253 – 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 Designer Series Paper (R)

(R) Retiring , (C) Carrying Over

Elephant Parade

I got this fun idea from one of my fellow demonstrator Michelle Pepper. Again I mixed up the layout to show the same concept different ways. This stamp set doesn’t have as many stamps that work for birthday sayings so I did bring in a different stamp set for one of the sayings, but it does have other saying that you can use to create a variety of cards. I used the Wink of Stella Brush again to add sparkle to the balloons and the background is created using the In Color Glimmer paper. Just a note be sure to stamp your creating before you emboss your background to make sure you get a clear stamped image.

  • 158695 – Elephant Parade Stamp Set (R)
  • 158696 – Elephant Dies (R)
  • 158697 – Elephant Parade Bundle (R)
  • 159985 – Charming Sentiments Stamp Set (C)

Butterfly Gala Sponged Butterfly Card

I wanted to share this quick and easy card with you today. It was created using Stampin’ Up!’s Butterfly Gala stamp set. In the second card and saying I used sponge daubers to apply the ink to give it a more blended look. The 1st card is just stamping directly on the card with the ink and the second card is using the the sponge technique.

I created a quick video to show you how simple it is to create this fun blended look. I really like the extra dimension it seems to give to the stamped image.

Here’s a close up of the difference between the two different butterfly looks.

Butterfly stamped with solid image

This is what it looks like when you stamp directly onto the images without using the sponge daubers.

This is the same image using the sponge daubers to ink up the background stamps for the butterfly rather than stamping directly into the ink. Using this technique I was able to add a little bit of each color to the stamp and kind of blend them. You’ll also notice that the colors aren’t quite as bold and defined using this technique giving it a more subtle feel.

Greeting Image inked with daubers

Here’s a close up of the greeting image using the sponge daubers to ink up the stamp.

Delightful Daisy Suite

I wanted to share one of my favorite new suites the Delightful Daisy Suite.  I love this new suite and the punch.  I’m looking forward to making my own vase of daisies.  You can find the suite on pages 126-127 of the annual catalog.

Delightful Daisy

 

I saw this design on Pinterest and thought it would be perfect for the Delightful Daisy Suite.  It’s a perfect way to show case all the fun designer series paper.  Colors used – Daffodil Delight, Blushing Bride, Old Olive & Whisper White.

I also saw this idea on Pinterest different words but I loved the idea of stamping in on the letters.  I created this around Mother’s day but I fell like there are many times that we can let our mothers know how grateful we are for them.  Colors used – Daffodil Delight, Fresh Fig & Whisper White.
