Still Stamping With Sue

Creative Inking Blog Hop - The "Dies" Have It

 

 

Welcome to the Creative Inking Blog Hop where Stampin' Up! demonstrators are sharing projects that were created with Dies. My projects include a favorite of mine, the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. They also use the Intricate Leaves Dies from the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog. Both projects use the same supplies, but have different layouts.

 

The Cork Specialty Designer Series Paper is a very thin sheet of cork, with tiny flecks of gold in it. 

 

 

I added a narrow strip of the Brushed Metallic Cardstock on the left side of the cork and also used it for the leaf die.

 

 

Here are both cards side-by-side. The focal point on both cards is the Intricate Leaves Die. I didn't use a stamp set on these cards because I like to have blank cards to add a sentiment later.

Creative Inking Blog Hop - Fun Folds

 

Welcome to the Creative Inking Blog Hop where Stampin' Up! demonstrators are sharing cards made with fun folds. Making handmade cards with a fun fold adds a unique element to your creation.  My project features these products from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog:

 

Color & Contour Stamp Set

 

Scalloped Contours Dies

 

Simply Elegant 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper (one side has copper, gold and silver foil accents)

 

Here is my fun fold card using the above supplies.

It doesn't look like a fun fold card right now.

 

But when you take it out of the envelope, it starts to unfold.

 

And, then it really opens and you can see the inside.

 

Directions:

Card Base:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Basic Black Cardstock, scored at 2 1/8" on both ends.

Inside:  4" x 5 1/4" Very Vanilla Cardstock

First Layer:  1 3/4" x 5 1/4" Simply Elegant Specialty Designer Series Paper. Adhere to the front folds of the Card Base.

Second Layer (top fold): 2 3/4" x 4 1/4" Basic Black Cardstock. Adhere 2 1/2" x 4" Simply Elegant Specialty Designer Series Paper. Use Black Dimensionals on the left edge to attach to the First Layer.

Second Layer (bottom fold): 2 3/4" x 4 1/4" Basic Black Cardstock. Adhere 2 1/2" x 4" Simply Elegant Specialty Designer Series Paper. Use Black Dimensionals on the right edge to attach to the First Layer.

 

 

Third Layer:  On a scrap of Basic Black Cardstock, stamp the sentiment in VersaMark Ink and put the Metallics (gold) Embossing Powder over it. Shake off the excess powder and heat with a Heat Tool. Then center the Scalloped Contours Die over the sentiment and put it through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Attached it to the Second Layer Top Fold with Black Dimensionals. The final touch is to use a Glue Dot to attach a bow made from the Glittered Organdy Ribbon.

 

Here is the completed card with an inside view.

 

 

Here is the completed card with an outside view.

 

The touches of silver and gold foil on the Designer Series Paper helped me decide to use Gold Embossing Powder on the sentiment and the ribbon with the silver glitter. This is the perfect fun fold card to show how you can blend both silver and gold accents together.

Part 1 of Creating with the Picture This Dies

 

I was  intrigued when I saw the Picture This Dies in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. They were unique and my creativity started kicking in. I decided to use the circle shapes first.

 

I love that these dies have double stitching; one on the outside of the shape and one on the die-cut shape. Stitching is the perfect accent on papercrafting projects.

I decided to pair the Picture This Dies with the Color & Contour Stamp Set. Silly me. I didn't think I "needed" this set. Wrong!

It is hard to resist any floral stamp set, but I when I also like all the sentiments in a floral set, it almost always ends up in my online shopping cart. 

 

Of course, I had to use the 2021-2023 In Colors for these cards. It is so easy to create when everything matches, including the ink pads, the 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, the Open Weave Ribbon and the Jewels. I tried to make each card unique.

 

Evening Evergreen

Polished Pink

 

Pale Papaya

Soft Succulent

Fresh Freesia

 

Directions:

Card Base:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Basic White Cardstock, scored at 4 1/4".

First Layer:  4 1/4" x 5 1/2" 2021-2023 In Color 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper. Place the circle Picture This Die on the DSP and put through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Save the circle cutouts. Lay the DSP on the Card Base. I use a pencil to make a dot in the middle of the circle before stamping the images. Ink up whatever images you want to use and stamp them. Let the ink dry and then erase the dot. Attach the First Layer to the Card Base with Stampin' Seal Adhesive. Use Glue Dots to attach the ribbon and then add the Jewels.

149653 Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine $120

May and June have been busy with birthdays, funerals, graduations, dentist and doctor appointments, plus a landscaping project. That sums up my family's life lately. And, then there is this heat wave. Ugh!  Stay cool and thanks for stopping by!!!
