Quick Framed Panel card; three ways!


For last week's Stamp with Me Facebook Live I chose to make framed panel cards.  There are likely many ways to frame a stamped panel but I chose to highlight three of them – Stamped, Textured and Designer Paper.  Look!

On these first two cards I stamped leaves on card stock using White Craft ink.  The colors above are the new 2020-22 In Colors in Just Jade and Misty Moonlight.  I used the Layered with Kindness (retiring!; see it here) and the brand new Forever Fern stamp sets.  The punch is Label Me Fancy seen here

Just look at the detail on the Distinktive images here on the Forever Fern stamp set.  I'm in the middle of creating a new Wonder template for 8 quick, beautiful cards using this stamp set.  I cannot wait to share it with you!  

I do not have the new Misty Moonlight ink yet so I used Night of Navy, stamped off once.  It's close!

Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  • long pieces are 1" X 4 1/4"
  • short pieces are 1" X 3"
  • stamped panel is 1 3/4" X 3"
  • Navy layer is 1 7/8" X 3 1/8" 

This next card is the new Cinnamon Cider with Bermuda Bay.  I also used the new Forever Fern stamp set here.  The butterflies are from Butterfly Wishes set.

The next card is Seaside Spray with Night of Navy and features the Layered with Kindness and Butterfly Wishes. which coordinated with our Butterfly Duet punch. The Ornate Floral embossing folder is new and in the upcoming Annual catalog but it's available now.  

Lastly is one made with Garden Lane designer series paper (on sale right now) in Garden Green & Mint Macaron. 

Each week I share the measurements for our Monday stamp sessions a day or two early. Everyone preps their card supplies and create right along with me on my Facebook Page.  They're loving my quick & simple cards; we make 3 each week on Monday nights at 7:30 pm CT. You can see the cards we're making tonight!  Join us here!

  • Rainbow of Happiness Easel card with video tutorial


    The other card we made at my February card clubs was this bright rainbow easel card. We have so many wonderful rainbow themed products right now. 

    Details:

    • The rainbows and small clouds are die-cut using the Rainbow dies (currently unavailable through March 28th). 
    • The rainbows are cut from the Ombre 12 X 12" Specialty paper in the annual catalog (seen here). 
    • The clouds are punched using the new Cloud punch from either the Simply Ombre DSP, the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP or the Supple Shimmer paper. *The cloud punch matched the Sunshine & Rainbow DSP perfectly! 
    • The stamped images are from the Rainbow of Happiness & the Celebrating You stamp set; both in the 2022 Jan-June catalog
    • The DSP inside the card is the Sunshine & Rainbow paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog; it's free with any $50 order. 
    • They could add either raindrops from the Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials or the Artistry Blooms sequins. 
    • The frame was made by cutting a rectangle from a 4" X 5 1/4" Basic White CS with the Stitched Rectangle dies.  

    Have you noticed this gorgeous glimmery specialty paper in the annual catalog?  It's perfect for rainbows & that touch of glitter.

    You can see the glimmer better in this close up. 

    Did you know the Sunshine & Rainbows 6 X 6" DSP coordinates with our new Cloud punch?  The cloud punch is currently unavailable but it will be back after March 28th. 

     See the DSP here; it's so happy & bright.  Remember it's retiring after Monday; the last day of Sale-a-Bration.  It's free with any $50 order. 

    They could add greetings inside the easel if they wanted to.  We used Night of Navy ink for all greetings.  

    Measurements: 

    • Pool Party easel card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 3 3/4" & 5 1/2"
      Pool Party 4" X 5 1/4"
      White 4" X 5 1/4" for rectangle frame
      DSP inside 2" X 4"

  • Driving By meets Simply Marbelous for a retro style Birthday card


    We made retro style birthday cards at my February card clubs.  Look at this:

    It's perfect for a guy or even a young adult.  The Simply Marbelous designer series paper from our Sale-a-Bration catalog is absolutely amazing!  It does look a little psychedelic doesn't it?! 

    I covered the entire card front with it; no border at all.  I rarely do this but I wanted this unique & special paper to shine!  It has 6 different color combinations in it; all monochromatic too!  Everyone had a choice of their favorite color.  

    The birthday greeting is from the Slim Sayings stamp set seen here.  We stamped it in Versamark ink and heat embossed with Black embossing powder. 

    *There's a video to see how this card was created.  You can watch it here. 

    The car images were stamped with Black Memento ink on a Basic White Stitched rectangle die-cut and then colored in with our Stampin' Up! Blends markers.  

    I trimmed the balloon image off of the convertible so it could be added to any of the vehicles.  See the Driving By stamp set here; it's free with any $50 order through February. 

    The cute stitched banner is cut from more Simply Marbelous DSP using the Triangle dies.  

    After the card was assembled we added a finishing tough to the windows – a bit of Shimmery Crystal Effects for some shine.

    I polled my Flowerbug's Team to ask them why they joined when they did. 

    Top 5 reasons my gals chose the Stampin' Up! Starter Kit:

    1. A good deal
    2. Continuous discount
    3. Love of Stampin’ Up! products
    4. See new products & catalogs early (cannot wait!)
    5. Ordering regularly anyway

    You may think you have to 'sell' or hold events.  Or order a bunch of items to have on hand.  Nope!  Here are some myths you might have about being a Stampin' UP! Demonstrator: 

    Myths:

    1. You have to sell.  Or hold classes.  Nope! I call my gals who simply enjoy the discount ‘Happy Shoppers’.  
    2. It’s a commitment.  Wrong. You can quit ordering at any time. Enjoy it while you can and end when you want. There's no pressure from me or Stampin’ Up! to do more than you want to.
    3. You have to join in swaps or group activities. It's your choice.   
    4. I don’t have time.  You're in charge! Spend as much time as you want on this hobby; nothing has to change.
    5. I’m not creative enough.  Case & copy anything you see online or use any of my free tutorials.      

    Here are some Facts:  

    1. To stay active, you need $300 in orders/sales each quarter.  But with the 20% discount you’re really paying just $240 out of pocket!  But you get the benefits of the full $300. WOW! And you're taxed on the lower amount; not the full $300. 
    2. Your first quarter is waived so you do not need the $300 in orders until the end of June. That means you can pre-order from the new 2021 Annual catalog that starts in April.  New In Colors!
    3. You get all of the benefits a customer does; including free host rewards and we get our discount on top of special promotions.
    4. Plus we get extra $$ income if our orders/sales are over a certain amount each month. That includes our own orders!
