Sweetest Christmas!

Posted on by

When I think of Christmas, I think of family, food, and fun! Our Annual Christmas Cookies in Carrollton is by far my favorite tradition. This sweetest Christmas card just reminds me of that fun tradition and the joys around the holiday!!!

Sweetest Christmas Stampin' Up, www.LaurasStampPad.com

MEASUREMENTS:
Basic White Cardstock base: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″
Basic White Cardstock for jars: 3-1/2″ x 2-1/2″
Real Red Cardstock for jar lids: 3″ x 3/4″

Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper: 4-1/4″ x 1/2″

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Score 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ Basic White Cardstock at 4-1/4″ and fold in half to create the card base!
  2. Stamp the jar images in Memento Black ink on 3-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ Basic White Cardstock; stamp the snowman in Memento Black ink in one of the jars; stamp the sentiment in Garden Green ink in the other jar. Stamp the jar lids in Memento Black ink on 3″ x 3/4″ Real Red Cardstock. Cut out the
    jars and lids using the Sweet Jar Punch.
  3. Color the snow with the blue watercolor pencil. Use the Blender Pen to soften the coloring!
  4. Cut left edge of 4-1/4″ x 3/4″ Secret Sea Two-Tone Cardstock (light side) at an angle.
  5. Assemble the card and add Linen Thread.

Do you love to color?!?!? Is it relaxing for you?!?! I like it in small increments! I also sometimes struggle with watercoloring because it comes out different each time. My advice to myself and you is to just have fun and remember it is made with love, not perfection!

Extraordinary Flora!

Posted on by

I have been having so much fun with the Extraordinary Flora Stamp Set, coordinating Dies and Washi Tape! Unfortunately the Washi Tape keeps going unavailable because you all are loving it so much too! Don’t worry though because I am sharing two fun projects using just the stamps and dies!

Extraordinary Flora Bundle, www.LaurasStampPad.com

For the Congratulations Card, check out the tutorial below!

MEASUREMENTS:
Lost Lagoon Cardstock scrap piece: 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″
Very Vanilla Cardstock base: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″
Very Vanilla Cardstock panel: 4″ x 5-1/4″
Very Vanilla Cardstock scrap piece: 3-1/2″ x 6″
Very Vanilla Cardstock strip: 3/8″ x 2-1/2″

INSTRUCTIONS:
~ Score 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ Very Vanilla Cardstock at 4-1/4″ and fold in half to create the card base!
~ Stamp floral images in Pecan Pie ink on the 3-1/2″ x 6″ Very Vanilla Cardstock scrap piece. Then die
cut the floral images and adhere a few of them to the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
~ Next, stamp the floral image from Extraordinary Flora twice in Lost Lagoon ink on the 4″ x 5-1/4″ Very Vanilla Cardstock panel. Color the floral images using a Blender Pen and Lost Lagoon ink. Adhere the panel to the card. TIP: Squeeze your closed ink pad to create a pool of color in the lid. If you prefer to keep your ink pad clean, press a Clear Block into your ink pad and use that as your color palette! Dip your Blender Pen in the ink and let the coloring begin!


~ Then die cut the largest square shape from the 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ Lost Lagoon Two-Tone Cardstock scrap piece using Stylish Shapes Dies. Next, cut down the top and bottom to 1-3/4″ so that the stitched edge shows only on the sides. Adhere it to the card using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals!
~ Stamp the sentiment in Pecan Pie ink on the 3/8″ x 2-1/2″ Very Vanilla Cardstock strip. Adhere it to the Lost Lagoon piece.
~ Stamp floral images in Pecan Pie ink on the 3-1/2″ x 6″ Very Vanilla Cardstock scrap piece. Die cut the floral images and adhere a few of them to the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals!

I just love flowers and these Extraordinary Flora cards make me happy! You could create this same card in a different color too! Which color would you use? Let me know in the comments below! I think Highland Heather would be stunning!

Flip Flap Card!

Posted on by

I have really been loving this Flip Flap style of card and find myself creating it over and over in different designs. I’m not sure what to call it so I’m going with Flip Flap! LOL Here’s hoping you love it and try it out too!

Flip Flap Card, www.LaurasStampPad.com

The best part about this card is that you can use both the front and back of a sheet of Designer Paper!!! Eeee That is super fabulous especially when creating with the Florals In Bloom Designer Series Paper! I just love flowers!!!

Start with a piece of cardstock (Garden Green) measuring 8-3/4″ x 4-1/4″, scored at 5-1/2″. The flap will be on the right hand side folding in! Layer a piece of Designer Paper on this right side flap measuring 3″ x 4″. I love measurements like this because then there is no waste in a sheet of 12″ x 12″ Designer Paper.

Florals In Bloom Card, www.LaurasStampPad.com

Next, layer a piece of coordinating cardstock (Secret Sea) on the “inside” of the card in the center measuring 4-1/2″ x 3-1/4″. Then adhere a piece of cardstock (Garden Green) measuring 8-1/2″ x 3″ and scored at 4-1/4″ onto the inside layer. This creates a mini card in the center of the full size card! Layer a piece of Florals In Bloom Designer Paper to the front flap measuring 4″ x 2-3/4″.

Since I felt this paper was so beautiful and I didn’t want to cover it, I went with a very simple greeting for the front! Using the Sweet Blooms Stamp Set, I stamped Hello In Secret Sea Ink and then added a little leaf to the side. Since I didn’t want the leaf to over shadow the greeting, I stamped off once for a lighter look. The leaf was stamped in Garden Green. Using the To The Point Punch, I punched out the greeting but trimmed off the extra. Again, I didn’t want a huge greeting to hide the pretty flowers. The greeting was added with Stampin’ Dimensionals and then I embellished with a few Secret Sea In Color Flat Pearls!

Flip Flap Card Tutorial, www.LaurasStampPad.com

For the inside of the card, I added a piece of Basic White Cardstock measuring 4″ x 2-3/4″. You can always stamp a greeting of your choice on this piece. I added a little leaf from the Sweet Blooms Stamp Set in Garden Green Ink!

I hope you try out this fun Flip Flap Card yourself! Be sure to share it with me if you do! I have been using almost every Designer Paper Pack with this card design and loving them all!

Frosted Forest!!

Posted on by

I really struggle with masculine cards but found the Frosted Forest to be super fun and fabulous for making some! What do you think?!?!

The shades of green and plaid really add to the fabulousness in this card! The paper is from the Seasons of Green and Gold Designer Paper! Perfect for the holidays and then also all year long for cards like this!

SUPPLIES & MEASUREMENTS:
~Thick Basic White Cardstock – 8 ½” x 5 ½”
~Basic White Cardstock – scrap for die cutting rectangle and tree
~Pecan Pie Cardstock – scrap for punching greeting
~Season of Green & Gold Designer Paper – 4” x 5 ¼” (plaid) and 2” x 5 ¼” (green speckles) and scraps for inside the card if you wish

CARD INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Fold card base in half. Adhere plaid Designer Paper piece to the card front. Then add the green speckles Designer Paper down the center of the card front.
  2. Die cut a Deckled Rectangle or cut a rectangle (3” x 4 ¼”) and adhere to the card front.
  3. On another piece of scrap Basic White, create the large tree using the masks and Blending Brushes only (no stamping). I used Pecan Pie Ink for the base/#1 mask. Garden Green Ink was used for the leaves/#2 mask and Mossy Meadow Ink for the accent leaves/#3 mask. Then die cut the tree using the coordinating Frosted Forest Dies. Add the tree to the rectangle using Stampin’ Dimensionals only in the leaves (not on the trunk).  
  4. Punch out a greeting label of your choice from Pecan Pie Cardstock and stamp a greeting of your choice onto it in Pecan Pie Ink. I used the Labeled With Love Punch. Adhere to the card front over the trunk using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  5. Embellish with Faux Glass Dots as desired!
  6. Stamp or decorate the inside of the card as you wish!

Snowy Scenes

Posted on by

I have used the Snowy Scenes Suite soooo much this season! It has been my favorite by far and I wouldn’t have guessed that back in August! Check out this fun card!!!

Snowy Scenes Stampin' Up Suite, www.LaurasStampPad.com

Poppy Parade and Petal Pink might not be your typical holiday colors but it looks fabulous here!!! You could also use Pool Party and Basic White…..or another combination. Share in the comments what color combination you would use!!!

SUPPLIES & MEASUREMENTS:

  • Poppy Parade Cardstock – 8 ½” x 5 ½” and scrap for punching
  • Petal Pink Cardstock – (2) 4” x 5 ¼”
  • Garden Green Cardstock – scrap for die cutting
  • Snowy Scenes Designer Paper – 1” x 3”
  • Basic White Cardstock – 2 ¾” x ¾” and scrap for die cutting

CARD INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Fold Poppy Parade Cardstock in half for the card base. Emboss one piece of Petal Pink Cardstock (4” x 5 ¼”) with embossing folder of your choice and add it to card front! I used the Forever Plaid Folder. Also, I like to use Tear And Tape to adhere embossed images because I feel like it helps to keep the impression in tact and secures it well.
  2. Adhere strip of Designer Paper with Tear And Tape to the top 1/3” of the card front. Punch a scrap piece of Poppy Parade Cardstock with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch or use a punch/die cut of your choice!  Adhere to the card front over the Designer Paper.
  3. Die cut 2 trees from the scrap Garden Green Cardstock using the Snowy Wonder Dies. Stamp the Penguin in Memento Black Ink onto scrap Basic White and die cut as well. Add the trees flat to the hexagon and add the penguin with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Also, feel free to add some color to the feet and beak of the penguin with a Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends.
  4. Stamp greeting and candy canes in Poppy Parade Ink onto Basic White Cardstock (2 ¾” x ¾”) and add to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  5. Embellish with Snowflakes as desired. I used the Fine Tip Glue Pen to secure these on.
  6. Stamp greeting of your choice and/or candy canes in Poppy Parade Ink onto the Petal Pink Cardstock for the inside of the card.

Grateful for You!

Posted on by

My favorite holiday is actually Thanksgiving but oddly enough I don’t send out cards for that holiday specifically! I’m so grateful for you this Fall and Thanksgiving….and all year long! So much to be thankful for every day!

Grateful for you, www.LaurasStampPad.com

One of my favorite things about this card is how simple it is but also the amazing texture! I simply added 3 strips of 1″ x 4″ pieces of Iconic Imagery Designer Paper onto some Basic Beige Cardstock!! Then I ran all of that through an embossing folder! The texture this gives the cardstock and also the designer paper is fabulous!!!

For the greeting, I used 2 different labels from the Iconic Imagery Dies (Cajun Craze and Basic Beige Cardstock). For the Grateful greeting, I just used a scrap strip of Basic Beige Cardstock. This works perfectly for a greeting that is bigger than the little label but also layers onto the bigger label just right! I love it!!!

You can watch me make this card as well as 4 others using the Iconic Imagery Suite from the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusives here. You can also get an instant download PDF Tutorial on my Etsy Shop!

Enjoy this fabulous Grateful For You card this season! Change up the look for any season though!

Happy Stampin’

Z Fold Fun!!!

Posted on by

Stampin’ Up’s Designer Series Paper is just something else in my opinion. The prints, the colors, the designs are all just amazing. Most of the time I don’t want to cut them up or sometimes even use them because I question if the project is good enough for this piece. Surely I’m not alone here?!? I created this Z Fold fun card to really showcase lots of the stunning paper!

Z Fold Fun Card, www.LaurasStampPad.com

The Thoughtful Journey 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper is so fun to create with. It includes the following colors Blackberry Bliss, Boho Blue, Cajun Craze, Calypso Coral, Lost Lagoon, Misty Moonlight, Mossy Meadow, Peach Pie, Petunia Pop, Pool Party, Pretty Peacock, Wild Wheat.

Thoughtful Journey Designer Paper, www.LaurasStampPad.com

I created this Z Fold card as you can see in the photo above. The card base is Pretty Peacock Cardstock measuring 4-1/4″ x 11″ and it is scored at 1-1/2″ and 5-1/2″. This creates the Z. Then using 1 piece of the 6″ x 6″ Designer Paper, cut the focal point measuring 4″ x 4″ and 2 additional strips measuring 2″ x 4″. These side strips could be thinner if you wish or if you would like a specific print.

The focal point designer paper was added to a piece of Mossy Meadow Cardstock measuring 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ and then added to the top Z fold, centered on the card front. Then simply add one strip of the Designer Paper to the left hand side on the Pretty Peacock Cardstock. The other strip of Designer Paper is added to the Basic White (4″ x 5-1/4″) Cardstock for the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! So Sincere Stamp Set, www.LaurasStampPad.com

Here is the inside of this Z Fold Fun card! I used the So Sincere Stamp Set for the greetings. This style of card and even this exact design could be used for so many different occasions. I think it’s a great masculine card too and we all know how I struggle with those!

Ephemera Packs!

Posted on by

I’m just going to say……a different word would be preferred! I think I know how to say Ephemera Packs now but bare with me. LOL I think it’s E-FEM-ER-A. No matter what you call them, these packs are amazing and make for quick and simple card creations!

Ephemera Packs, www.LaurasStampPad.com

Here I used a Note Card & Envelope, stamped a greeting from the Simply Said Stamp Set in Memento Black Ink and then decorated with a few flowers from the Fully Flowering Ephemera Pack. Next, I finished it off with some In Color Resin Dots!

Fully Flowering Ephemera Pack, www.LaurasStampPad.com

TIP: Don’t stamp the greeting first like I did. When I was creating these cards, I thought I would stamp one in the middle and one in the lower corner. Then as I was deciding on my flowers, I struggled with the placement. I recommend playing with the different flowers/images first and then when you get it figured out, stamp and adhere!

Girls Night Out Cards, www.LaurasStampPad.com

This was one of the cards I offered at my Girl’s Night Out Event and here are 2 more cards that guests made at the event. I wish I could have seen what everyone created because I love these!!! So beautiful and so easy!!!

Whether you are a beginner card maker or not, check out these Ephemera Packs for creating cards, scrapbooking, or even creating home decor or party decorations!

Filled With Fun!!!

Posted on by

I just have to share this fun Stair Step Card that I created using the Filled With Fun Bundle. This is still available as an Online Exclusive so be sure to grab it before it is gone!

Filled With Fun Stampin' Up! Bundle, www.LaurasStampPad.com

SUPPLIES & MEASUREMENTS:

  • Granny Apple Green Cardstock – 4 ¼” x 9 ½”, scored at 1”, 2”, 3” and 4”
  • Basic White Cardstock – 4” x 5 ¼” and 4 ½” x 3 ¼” and 3 ¾” x 2 ½” and scrap for die cutting
  • Daffodil Delight Cardstock – 4 ¾” x 3 ½”       
  • Azure Afternoon Cardstock – 4” x 2 ¾”
  • Basic Black, Poppy Parade and Smoky Slate Cardstock – scrap for die cutting

Card Instructions:

Using a ruler and a pencil, place a mark 1 ¾” down from the top on the 1” score line. Place a mark 1” down from the top on the 2” and 3” score line. Cut from the edge straight across to that 1 ¾” mark. Then cut diagonally up to the 1” mark. Next, cut straight across to the next 1” mark. Then cut diagonally up to the 4” score line/top of the card. Zig zag fold these score lines to create a tiered banner look on the left side of the card.

Stair Step Technique, www.LaurasStampPad.com

Stamp and decorate each panel as you wish. NOTE: Be sure to stamp your images for the center panel low enough that it won’t peek out from behind the front panel. It’s not a huge deal but you can see in my sample the greeting shows over the presents in the wagon. Adhere each layer to the stair step Granny Apple Green on the “straight across” fold.
