Lasting Joy card swaps

Sharing a few more card swaps I received recently, this time using the Lasting Joy stamp set.  

This first card was made with the Countryside Inn designer paper and the Contour Scallops dies.  

Save

The card measures 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4". Colors include Night of Navy & Boho Blue.  I do not have the name of the creator of this card; sometimes the name gets lost if they add a business card instead of a sticky note in the back. 

Here's a photo of the Lasting Joy stamp set.  Gorgeous greetings and a few extra images for embellishing.

This next card uses the same Lasting Joy stamp set but in Fresh Freesia and bubble Bath colors.

Evie DiPiazza made this card; she used the Bright & Beautiful Designer Paper and the Elegant Borders dies for that pretty die-cut edge.  Here's a link to these dies.

• Fabulous card made with the Slim Card dies; they’re 50% off!

  June 7, 2022

  ---

  This is one of the cards we made at my May card clubs. It features the Slim Sayings bundle in the retiring Jan-June catalog by Stampin' Up!  

  However, right now the dies are on sale at 50% off with the Last Chance list. See everything on sale here.  

  Save

  My card base is White and I added a piece of Sun Prints Designer Paper behind the chevron die-cut.  Scroll down for measurements and the video too. 

  Did you know we have Slimline Envelopes that perfectly match these dies and a typical slim line card?  They carried over into the new Annual Catalog too.  They come in 3 colors; White, Smoky Slate & Soft Succulent. See them here.  

  Save

  I used the Slim Saying stamp set along with the Nature's Prints bundle from the new 2022-23 Annual Catalog.  See the Slim Saying stamp set here and the Nature's Prints bundle here. 

  At club they chose either a birthday card or a graduation card; it works for both. And some made theirs into a wedding or anniversary card! 

  Save

  The Slim Saying stamp set & Slim Card dies are both retiring and are while supplies last.  I'll be sharing more cards with this bundle today on my FB Live here at 11 am CT and also this week right here on my blog.

• I’ve got more ideas yet! Botanical Layers bundle cards with video

  June 6, 2022

  ---

  I challenged myself to use each pattern of the vellum included in the Lovely Layers vellum.  You can see it here; you get 60 sheets in the pack!  It includes 4 different prints and many sheets of plain vellum too. 

  This first card has a printed circle on it.  The easy solution was to add a die-cut wreath.  I used three sets of dies here; the Natural Prints, Amazing Thanks & Hydrangea dies.

  Save

  My colors are Parakeet Party, Fresh Freesia, Black & White.  The vellum in the kit is 1/4" larger than the 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" white layer. 
  

  Save

  Remember that it helps to place a White layer under your vellum to see it's true color.  

  Save

  Here are two cards; both using the Lovely Layers Vellum.

  Save

  For this card I textured it with the new Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder.  Embossing vellum is a wonderful way to add it to your projects; it's texture and opaqueness is so beautiful. 

  Save

  The colors are Polished Pink & Parakeet Party.  I used the Poppy Moments and Natural Prints dies for the greenery and the Nature's Prints stamp set for the stamped leaves and greeting.

• 2 more Botanical Layers card ideas!

  June 4, 2022

  ---

  Once I started I couldn't seem to stop creating with the Botanical Layers stamp set.  I made this card for an online swap:

  Save

  It's a Dutch door monochromatic card in Orchid Oasis.  Do you like these type of cards as much as I do?  I find cards with one main color very soothing to the eye and just plain pretty!  

  I stamped the main image multiple times without reinking.  I love that about our inks; you can get multiple hues with one color. 

  Details:

  • The card front opens at the bottom only.  
  • I used the Stitched Greenery die for the inside White layer.  
  • There is a half circle of Orchid Oasis ombre glimmer paper at the top with the bow.  
  • The tag is from the Tea Cup dies; the greeting is from the Cup of Tea stamp set. 

  Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X8 1/2"; score at 4 1/4" then trim off at 2 3/4" up to the top of the card.  Save this piece for the front layer
  • Front layer (cut from the card base) is 2 3/4" X 4"
  • White front is 2 1/2" X 3 3/4"; inside is 4" X 5 1/4" 

  Save

  This next card was made with the Inked Block technique. 

  Here's how:

  • I colored an 'H' block with Stampin' Write markers in Starry Sky, Orchid Oasis & Tahitian Tide. 
  • Then I spritzed alcohol on it (you can use water; alcohol dries faster) and pressed it onto my White CS and let it dry. 
  • Lay a piece of copy paper over it and set something heavy on it so it dries flat. 

  Save

  After it's dry I stamped the botanical image in Starry Sky ink and used the Timeworn Type embossing folder.  

  The greeting is also from the Botanical Layers set; the die-cut is from the All That dies. 

  You can see a video on this technique here.
