Addicting Diagonal Cut – Penguin Place

Hey Stampin’ Friends:

I am so excited to share today’s project with you.  This is such a fun and in my opinion, quite addicting diagonal cut.  My super talented friend Kurstan Del Rosario showcased this in her live this past weekend and I absolutely fell in love with this.  You can check out her cute Halloween creations HERE.

Today’s project I created this week from my Crafting Wednesday’s Facebook Live.  I am using one of my favorite bundles out of the July-August Mini Catalog.  The Penguin Place.

I absolutely love the versatility of this set and this designer paper is one of my absolute favorites from the Sale – A -Bration catalog.  This paper can be used for Christmas, Winter, Birthday, Pick me up. And the best part I love about it is that it coordinates with the Penguin Place Bundle perfectly!!!  And it is FREE with a $50 online order.

I thought it would be fun to cut out the penguin bodies using my returning favorite the Black Glitter Paper.  I love how perfect this paper gives the penguin a little extra glam.

MEASUREMENTS:
  • Card Base: Basic White For the Birthday Card and Just Jade for the Christmas Card –4 1/4″ x 11″: scored at 5 1/2″ or folded in half
  • Layer: Misty Moonlight for the Birthday Card and Soft Sea Foam for the Christmas Card – 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″
  • Designer Series Paper: Penguin Playmates (SAB PAPER) – 4″ x 5 1/4″; cut on the diagonal TIP: cut 2 coordinating pieces together.

Welcome to the Luv 2 Stamp Group’s 2021 Blog Hop! We are excited to share projects with you this year, we hope to inspire you to create beautiful new projects. Each month we will have a different theme based on the next month’s celebrations using Stampin’ Up! products.

Today’s Card features the You’re a Peach Suite which happens to be one of my absolute favorite suites out of the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.  The Designer Paper is probably one of the prettiest most versatile papers they have made in a long time.

 

 

To create the scalloped edge on this card, I used one of my favorite dies as well.  The Scalloped Contour Die Set is one of the most versatile die bundles we have.  And to create the perfect color for the peach I stamped the image in Pale Papaya and then used a sponge dobber and tapped the edge of the stamp in Flirty Flamingo before stamping the image.  The leaves I stamped in Granny Apple Green and used the dies from the Sweet as a Peach Bundle.  To finish off the project, I took Basic Peals and colored them with my Dark Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends.  That is one of my favorite Tips!!

PROJECT MEASUREMENTS:
  • Cardbase: Balmy Blue 4 1/4″ x 11″  Scored at 5 1/2″ or folded in half
  • DSP: 2″ x 5 1/2″  – Use Scallop Die from the Contour Scalloped Edge Dies
  • Calypso Coral Panel 3″x3″
  • Basic White 2 3/4″ x 2 3/4″
  • If you choose to put Basic White Panel on inside you can cut a piece of Basic White at 4″x 5 1/4″.  This was a pretty light card base so I chose to leave it blank.

 

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  I hope you enjoyed today’s project.  Be sure to continue to hop along with my crafting friends for your Birthday Inspiration!!!

Painted Christmas Window Swing Card

I had so much fun creating this Painted Christmas Swing Card for you today using the Painted Christmas Suite from the Stampin’ Up! Jul-Dec 2021 Mini Catalog,  (All Products available in my online store Tuesday, August 3, 2021)

 

 

 

The Swing Card Design allows so many fun creative ways to have fun images “swing” through the window.  The pinecones used today are from the Christmas to Remember Bundle from the Painted Christmas Suite. 

PROJECT MEASUREMENTS:

Base: Soft Succulent: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ Scored at 4 1/4″ or folded in half

Insert : Basic White 5″x8″ Scored at 2″, 4″, 6″ Fold Accordion Style SEE PHOTO BELOW

Designer Paper Strip Pieces: Outside Strip 1 1/2″ x 5 1/2″  Inside Strip 1 3/4″ x 4 3/4″

Gold Foil Piece: 2 1/4″ x 2 1/2″ Embossed with Greenery Mini Embossing Folder

2″ Vellum Circle from the Layering Circle Dies

 

 

 

DETAILS: 
  • Using the 3rd Rectangle from Scalloped Contour Dies, place Die in the middle of the front card base to create the window.
  • Stamp Sentiment on the 4th panel of insert
  • Adhere Inside DSP Piece to the 3rd panel
  • Adhered 1st Panel to the inside flap of the card front and Adhere 4th to the inside back portion of the card.  (SEE PHOTO BELOW)
  • Using the Greenery Mini Embossing Folder, emboss the gold square piece.
  • Die-cut a 2″ Vellum Circle using the Laying Circle Dies.
  • Using the Solid Pinecone Dies, Die cut 1 larger and 2 smaller in Early Espresso
  • Using the Outline Pinecone Dies Die cut 1 larger and 2 smaller in Gold Foil  TIP: Before cutting the foil pinecones adhere a strip of the self-adhesive sheets to the back of the foil strip.
  •  With stampin’ dimensionals pop up your pinecones to circle and adhere to your gold foil square
  • Adhere Outside DSP Strip about 1/4″ Away from the fold of the card. (SEE PHOTO ABOVE) 
  • When adhering your gold square to the 2nd panel, be sure to only add adhesive to the right side of the square only otherwise your square won’t swing through the window.
  • The sentiment is the Merry Christmas from the new Christmas to Remember Set.  ANOTHER TIP: The Sentiment was a little long for me and I did some surgery on the stamp and cut it in half.  YES< It is perfectly fine to do this!!!

 

I really hope you enjoyed today’s project.  I would love to hear from you in the comment section below what you thought about today’s project.  Be sure to tag me on your social media I would love to see what you create.

I have a lovely non-traditional Christmas Poinsettia to share with you today. Although I really do the traditional red and green for Christmas, I have lately been doing non-traditional colors.  I love this because I can change the sentiment out and use it for a winter Birthday!!!  The dies I am using in today’s project are the Poinsettia Dies from our Annual Catalog along with Poinsettia Petals Stamp Set for the Sentiment.

  • Card Base: Blushing Bride 4 1/4″x 11″ Scored at 51/2″ or in half
  • Vellum 2 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ Embossed in Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing folder.
  • Die Cut Poinsettia Petals (See Die Cutting Tip in the image below)
  • Use Dauber and Blushing Bride ink to sponge edges to give your project a little pizazz
  • Sprigs Die cut in Pear Pizazz
  • Use Glue dots to layer petals and Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach sprigs and to give our petals dimension.
  • Stamp Merry Christmas Sentiment on Basic White Cardstock in Pear Pizazz ink.
  • Added 3 Basic Pearls to the center of Poinsettia Flower
  • Fussy Cut around sentiment

Stay tuned for another project in August to see a bonus project using the New Whimsy and Wonderful Designer Paper in the new August-December Mini Catalog.  In the meantime enjoy hopping along with my other talented crafting friends in this Christmas In July Blog Hop.

Do you want every single paper as I do?  Especially for the Holidays?

This way you can see, feel, touch, and use the paper and reorder your favorites in my ONLINE STORE
