The leaves I die cut from Pretty Peacock and Cajun Craze and embossed with DISTRESSED TILE 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER . The veins were die cut from Oxidized Paper.

Winterly Tree Tops – Thinking of you Always

Posted on July 23, 2024 by Genevieve Valdes

Hey there! I can’t believe it’s July and soon it will be Christmas. So I decided to make a card with the Winterly Tree Tops bundle to give you a sneak peak of this beautiful bundle. Perfect for making Christmas cards or any other type of card. This bundle will be available in the September – December 2024 Mini catalog and available September 4.

My card is also inspired by the Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge, I used the Winterly Tree Tops bundle, Nests of Winter DSP, Designer Tags and Distressed Tile 3D to create this ‘Thinking of You’ card.

I used retired Winter Meadow DSP for the background and used Soft Sea Foam card stock to die cut the tag and embossed it with Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder then added the coordinating Natural Tones Linen Thread to the ends of the tags. The birds are die cut from the coordinating Nests of Winter DSP. The sentiment is from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set. The inside of the card I stamped the bird and colored it with watercolor pencils – Gray, Cherry Cobbler, Balmy Blue, Crushed Curry and Pecan Pie.

When I saw the Stampin’ Up! Round We Go stamp set in the catalog I had to have it! You can create a rosette big enough to put on the front of a card. So easy to make with the Round We Go dies. I cut two strips of Basic White, 1-3/4″ x 5-1/2″ for the rosette then stamped 4 lines with the diagonal lines to create my own DSP. I used the colors of Summer Splash, Petunia Pop and Daffodil Delight which are the challenge colors of Hand Stamped Sentiments this week.

Any ocean themed stamp set I have to have and Stampin’ Up! Beauty of the Deep was a must-have for me. The images are beautiful and so excited you can die cut the images with the coordinating dies. I started with a white card base. The Night of Navy layer I stamped the images in Craft Whisper White ink and Night of Navy. The white coral image is die cut from Vellum. The fish are stamped in Blueberry Bushel and the anchor is stamped in Wild Wheat. The sentiment I stamped from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set and die cut with retired Stitched Shapes Framelits.

Happy Birthday with Seaside Wishes

Posted on May 28, 2024 by Genevieve Valdes

I finally was able to to create with the new Stampin’ Up Seaside Wishes bundle. This bundle has a stamp set, hybrid embossing folder and dies. I love this stamp set because it has beautiful sand dollar and starfish images. The card I created I CASED from page 73 of the Stampin’ Up Annual Catalog 2024-2025. It is a mini slim card. This card measures 3.25″ x 6.25″. The card base: 6.25″ x 6.50″ – place the 6.50″ side at the top of your scoring tool, score at 3.25 and fold. I wanted for the die cut sand dollars and starfish to take up most of the card front and this slim card is the perfect size.

My card was inspired by the Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge of Lost Lagoon, Petal Pink and Soft Sea foam. I used the Basic Beige for the card base and Country Woods DSP, The sand dollars, star fish were die cut with the Hybrid Embossing folder from Lost Lagoon, Soft Sea foam, Petal Pink and Basic White. The sentiment from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set was heat embossed with gold embossing powder.

My spring card was inspired by Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration challenge. What image inspires you? The flowers inspired me to stamp with the Inspirational Sketches stamp set. I used the Darling Details Dies to create the frame for the flowers and used paper from the Sale-a-bration Flight and Airy DSP paper.

The flowers were stamped with Memento Black then water-colored with Bubble Bath ink, Soft Seafoam and Garden Green. I then fussy cut the flower twice and adhered them with dimensionals to create depth. I also embellished with Wink of Stella and basic rhinestones colored with Bubble Bath and Soft Seafoam Stampin’ Blends.

I framed the image with the die from Darling Details set. and adhered with dimensionals.
