Stamped with Love, Crafting with You & Be Mine DSP for my April 2024 Creative Therapy Classes

Love how this turned out.  It was a hit at my class this past Tuesday. 

Recipe:

• The 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 base of Sweet Sorbet is scored at 4 1/4.  Set aside.
• The layer of Basic Black is 5 1/4 x 4.
• The two pieces of the Bee Mine DSP is are 5 x 2.
• The checked ribbon is wrapped around the Basic Black, and this combination is added to the base.
• The 4 1/4 x 2 3/4 piece of Sweet Sorbet is the base for the 4 x 2 1/2 piece of Basic White that is stamped with Sweet Sorbet ink and the little heart from the Stamped with Love set.
• The mailbox is stamped with black ink on Daffodil Delight cardstock and cut out with my amazing Paper Snips.
• I stamped the mailbox a second time on Basic White focusing on the little envelope.  I cut it out and added it to the mailbox front.
• I stamped the envelope/pen on Basic White, cut it out, colored the pen with a Daffodil Delight marker, and added it to the card front with dimensionals.
• All done and remember to decorate your envelope.

 Irresistible Blooms Bundle

My take on a card found on Page 6 of the 2023-24 catalog.

I enjoy the challenge of casing cards from the Stampin' Up! catalogs.   The designers who work for SU are so talented and creative, and it's fun figuring out how the card was made, and the products used.  

Recipe:

• The 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 base of Pool Party is scored at 4 1/4.  Set aside.
• The layer of Pretty Peacock is 5 1/4 x 4.
• I used Pretty Peacock and one of the Irresistible Blooms dies to cut out the "unusual" design and added it to the Pretty Peacock at an angle.  Trim the extra to be even with the 4" width of the card layer.
• The word, hello, is stamped on a 4 1/4 x 1 piece of Basic White with Pretty Peacock ink (stamp closer to the right so your flower will not cover your word).  Line this stamped Basic White piece under the angled Pretty Peacock "unusual" design and adhere.  Trim the edges to be even with the 4" width.
• The 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 Hello Irresistible DSP is adhered under the Basic White, and again, cut off the excess paper.
• Adhere to the Pool Party base.
• To make the flower & leaves:
• Leaves: use Soft Sea Foam ink on Basic White and cut out with dies.  Cut out three more leaves with Soft Sea Foam cardstock.
• Flower: stamp Moody Mauve ink on Basic White and cut out with dies.
• Cut out another flower with Petal Pink cardstock and add it behind the stamped flower.
• Assemble, add a Moody Mauve dot to the center of the flower, and add all to the card with dimensionals.
• All done and remember to decorate your envelope.
