Forever Fern - 4 in 1 Cards

Hello my stamping friends.

Today I have a card that I crafted for a demo swap earlier this month.  The theme was springtime and green!  So I pulled my Forever Fern stamp set off the shelf, some green shades of ink and started stamping.

Now I actually started with an 8 ½” x 11” piece of Basic White cardstock and segmented it with score lines to create 4 boxed off panels.  Then stamped the panels along the center score lines.  Then cut them apart to create 4 similar but unique panels to make my cards. 

Check out the Stampin’ Show & Tell tutorial to watch as I take this from start to finish.  Then if you have more questions, check out the tips below, or post a comment here, on YT, or send me an email.

Tutorial Tips:

Here are the simple supplies I started with.

Here are the ink colors and stamped images from the Forever Fern stamp set.

Here is the panel after I have stamped all the images, but before I trimmed them apart.

Now you can see the 4 panels for 4 cards from the one sheet of cardstock.  Each similar but unique as well.

To add texture I used this die on the Shaded Spruce cardstock front.  Before I added it to the standard Basic White cardbase.

Here is a close up look at the sentiment tag.

Poppy Dreams for #GDP386

Hello my stamping friends.

Today I have a quick and simple card project to share with you.  I crafted this project  to play in the Global Design Project sketch challenge #GDP386.  And I was inspired by one of their team members' shared project.  So this is my take on the sketch and a CASE of Artisan Team Member, Madeleine Mrotzek.

 

Here is the base sketch from their blog, remember you can link back to the original post and see all the other wonderful creations paper crafters shared this week.

And here is the project that I CASE (Copy And Selectively Edited) for my project today.

So here is my project. I did it first in Black and White then added a pop of color to those poppies with my Sweet Sorbet Blend.

This was just the right project for my early Sunday morning! I just need a little bit of stamping time and this came together really quickly.  I hope you enjoyed my project.

Playing In The Rain | FMS 577

Hello my stamping friends.

Today I am playing with a sketch from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge Blog.  This is sketch 577 and you can link back to their blog with this link or click on the sketch here.

I wanted to craft a quick and easy card today.  So I decided to play with my Playing In The Rain DSP and use the images as my focal points and background!  So simple die-cutting with the circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies and I was ready to put it all together.  For the sentiment , I stamped and heat embossed my greeting directly to the raindrop DSP panel.

I had a lot of fun crafting this project and sharing this sketch. If you enjoyed it, please leave me a comment here on the blog.

 

Happy Stampin,

So Happy For You with Color & Contour

Hello my stamping friends.

Welcome to the Stamping with Friends Blog Hop today.  For today’s blog our theme was Anything Goes!  So I am really excited to see all the fun projects all the crafters are going to share today.

For my project, I pulled my Color & Contour stamp set out and decided to craft a card around GREEN!  Yeah, we are Irish here in the Webster house… so it seemed fitting for today.

I used Granny Apple Green for my ink and base cardstock color. Pulled a sample of the Hues of Happiness DSP into the background that has that splash of green in the striping along with the yellow and pinks.  I stamped the two-step flower image along the edges of my large circle die-cut from the Stylish Shapes Dies and added a smaller die-cut circle for my sentiment.  To add a little stamped texture I stamped the dotted image between the flowers and also along the edge of my DSP.  Then to dress it up a little I used a piece of the Glittery White ribbon behind the sentiment and two of the large Iridescent Rhinestones on the flower centers.

Here are the front and center images of my project today.

So quick and simple today, I hoped you enjoyed this one.  Leave me a quick comment and then hop on along to the next paper crafter in the blog hop today.  Here are the links!

 

Happy Stampin,

Poppy Moments Dies for Die Cutting Technique

Inkspirations Blog Hop March 2023

Hello my stamping friends.

This month our challenge for the Inkspirations Blog Hop was die-cutting! There are lots of ways to use die-cuts, whether they are tags for sentiments or used to create the focal image.  Sometimes we even use them to create the background on our projects.

Being near the end of the catalog, I decided I wanted to use a set of dies that I haven’t pulled out in a while, and that led me to my Poppy Moments Dies.  I also wanted to stamp a bright card so I immediately thought of the Hues of Happiness DSP with all its bright colors.

So, my poppy dies were created by die-cutting the DSP with the flower dies, and then layering them to create detailed die images for my focal point. The leaves were die-cut from Granny Apple Green cardstock.  

For a die-cut background I used the Stitched with Whimsy Dies, two nested images behind the floral focal point.

Finally the tag for the sentiment was die-cut from the Scalloped Contours Dies.  Stamped a sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set (which I then discovered is retired already), but I like the sentiment.  And I die-cut the flower centers out of Basic Black for a little more detail.

Okay, so there we have my project for today. I really should use my dies more often, they really can create great card fronts, or even just smaller focal points to use on projects.   Please leave me a comment down below and then use this link to hop along to the next crafter in our hop today.  

Happy Stamping,

Susan
