Kylie’s International Blog Highlights Gallery- May 2022- Stampin’ Up!® Natures Prints

Today I am excited to be participating in Kylie Bertucci’s International Blog Highlight Gallery with Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world! The theme for the Gallery is “Thank You”.

The stamp set I am using today is a new one in the 2022-23 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog which you can now order from! Nature’s Prints stamp set comes with a coordinating Natural Prints Dies. When you order the two together as the Nature’s Prints Bundle you save 10%!

I used the Masking Technique combined with the Blending Brushes Technique in making this fun card!

Supplies and Measurements

  • Very Vanilla Card Stock (CS) card base: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 with a score line at 4 1/4 inches.
  • Very Vanilla CS: 4 x 5 1/4 inches
  • Ink: Tahitian Tide, Parakeet Party, Daffodil Delight, Mossy Meadow and Orchid Oasis.
  • Linen Thread

  • Stampin’ Up! Masking Paper #155480 found on page 149 in the 2022-23 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog
  • Blending Brushes #153611 page 129

Instructions

  1. Apply the Masking Paper to the 4 x 5 1/4 inch Very Vanilla Card Stock (CS) so that you have a strip that is uncovered measuring 2 inches wide.
  2. Secure the card piece to your work space using Painters Tape over the Masking Paper.
  3. Use a Blending Brush with the Daffodil Delight Ink to make a subtle circle of color.
  4. Blend in the Tahitian Tide Ink to cover the top 3/4 of the card piece, and the Parakeet Party Ink to cover the bottom 1/4.
  5. Use the Orchid Oasis Ink to stamp the flowers. Use a Blender Pen to add color to the petals on the flowers.
  6. Stamp the smaller sprig in Parakeet Party Ink for the background.
  7. Use the Mossy Meadow Ink with the fern stamp to stamp along the bottom. Some of the fern are Stamped Off.
  8. Let dry then carefully remove the Masking Paper.
  9. Use the Mossy Meadow Ink to stamp the sentiment on the top left.
  10. Wrap the Linen Thread around the bottom of the card piece three times and then tie in a bow.
  11. Adhere the card piece to the front of the Very Vanilla CS card base.
  12. Add the Brushed Brass Butterflies as desired.
  13. Add the Pale Papaya Opal Rounds to the center of the flowers.

Across the Waves Blog Hop Stampin’ Up!® He’s All That sneak peek

Welcome to the monthly Across the Waves Blog Hop. This month’s theme is all about Masculine projects. Thanks for joining us. I have the He’s All That Sneak Peek card for you!

I hope you enjoy my project.


The He’s All That Sneak Peek card was inspired by a card I saw from Melva Peters. I changed some of the measurements so I could use fewer different pieces of the He’s The Man Designer Series Paper (DSP).

Measurements

  • Very Vanilla Card Stock (CS) card base: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches with a score line at 4 1/4 inches.
  • Very Vanilla CS: 2 1/2 x 4 inches for sentiment
  • Early Espresso CS: 4 x 5 1/4 inches
  • Cajun Craze CS: 3 7/8 x 5 1/8
  • He’s The Man DSP (available May 3, 2022): Early Espresso design for ribbon: 2 x 3 inches; a variety of pieces- 2 at 2 x 5 inches, 2 at 3 x 5 inches and 2 at 4 x 5 inches.

Assembling the Card

The trick is to cut several different widths of the DSP and then cut each piece on the diagonal. I used 2 inch, 3 inch and 4 inch wide by 5 inches long for the DSP.

Start to piece the card front together using a base for the DSP that measures 5 1/8 x 3 7/8 inches. I made a mark where I wanted to put the sentiment so that I could point the DSP triangles to that spot. Leave about a 1/8 inch space between the different DSP pieces.

The back side is pictured on the left. Use scissors to trim the excess DSP. When you are done the card front will look like the picture on the right.

Adhere the DSP piece to a 4 x 51/4 inch Early Espresso CS. Adhere this to the front of the Very Vanilla CS card base measuring 4 1/4 x 11 inches with a score line at 5 1/2 inches. Use the ribbon die in the All That Die set to cut 2 ribbons from the Early Espresso DSP pattern. Stamp the sentiment on a scrap of Very Vanilla CS in Early Espresso Ink. Use the rectangular die in the All That Dies to cut out the sentiment. Adhere the ribbons to the back of the sentiment piece. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment to the card front. Add a few of the Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots.

Viola! You have a really cool masculine card!
