Blessings of Home Stamps (-15% also have Dies -20%) one of my favorites. The large flower bouquet can take center stage on your card and stand alone. And the similar small bouquet is perfect for a subtle greeting. Plus 5  inspiring sentiments. $25, now $21.25

 

Use tone on tone - same color ink as cardstock - Night of Navy. Use a chalk marker or white pigment craft ink with a Blending brush to color the flower white, a stunning look.  

We used this stamp set to add color with water color markers or Stampin' Write water based markers.

Celebrate Sunflowers stamps $24, now $20.40 and Dies, 20% off.

    

This card design is using one 8 1/2" x 11" piece of white cardstock, then stamping through the middle and out to the edges, then random areas and colors to make four card fronts when cut into 4 x 5 1/4" pieces.   Several sunflower stamps and leaves were used on this print.

Grassy Grove stamps & dies.   The Dies were $39 and now $31 with the SALE. I did not get the stamps, so all my examples are with the dies.   This is a favorite.   

The project for NOV 2022 Card Connoisseurs card class will use this die set, so stay tuned for two 3D projects post coming soon.  3D projects are home decor or anything that's nse the die cuts piece as a stencil or mask.

                                            

      Use this Grove Die cut with your own photos.

 

Use the die cut with a variety of background papers. It works well for your favorite hunter or use the Grove Dies for a Floating Card design so the deer appear to be in the forest.

                                        

In the Moment came out early in 2022 which I found perfect to remind my friend to relax after a heart attack. I designed these projects by using my idea of a "One Sheet Wonder for Cardstock". My class made a magnet bookmark, and Mini Slimline card. In the Moment, $24, now $20.40.

                    

     Here is my pattern for the One Sheet Wonder for Cardstock.

            

         With this pattern, we made a Mini Slimline by folding the 6x6 in half, plus a magnetic bookmark, and a slightly smaller A2 card.

 

  

To add a printed paper design to your stamped image, which is called Masking, stamp it on Designer papers in black or same color as paper background. Then cut it out and glue it directly on top of the stamped image.  See it below.

Harvest dies are another favorite of mine. $38, now $34.40. I don't always get the coordinating stamps because I like to use water color and other artsy techniques to create my own unique images. If you aren't feeling creative in that way, the stamp sets are perfect for you.

 Here's a few prints I did with this set, including using these dies to cut and create a stencil.

I got the Layering Hollyhocks Dies to make cards to send my hollyhocks seeds. Every year people request the seeds so this set of dies is perfect for that. $37, now $29.60.

  

Here are the dies, and then I used it as a stencil/mask below.

                                 

I have found that I really love the texture of embossing folder on a front layer.  Besides texture, it also adds a quilting look. I've been paper quilting with Julie Heitz over at Quilt Cards and More on Face Book. Three of my favorite Embossing Folders are now on sale. Here are some of my designs using the Gingham, Time Worn Type  and 3D Fern, all on sale for 20% off. I've always been drawn to old world script or old typing like this, and I've been amazed at how our asparagus plant, gone to seed is so close to the texture of this 3D Fern, and how the Fern resembles pine branches. Try inking your folder and see how unique the embossed side vs the debossed side looks.

                                                                               

The Gingham Embossing Folder gives a quilted look to the white layer on this card.

This Time Worn Type Embossing Folder is shown as the background here. The flowers are from the Celebrating Sunflowers Dies which are on sale too.

Here are six samples of the 3D Fern, some are inked to show the debossing and embossing.

HERE'S the cards with DSP

This floating tea cup designed card, shows the Cup of Tea Dies along with the Tea Boutique DSP which are both on SALE.  The stamp set is also onsale. 

The card below is from my Stamping 101 Class and shows how simple it is to put together a card with a 4x 5 1/4 layer. One piece of DSP cut in half, and using both sides of the print.  This is Lovely in Linen which is ON SALE.

  

Here are some Stack & Whack card designs - I know I'm off on the name of the design. Its one of Karen Titus's ideas where you cut several 4x6" pieces together and interchange, so you can make multiples. Tea Boutique papers.

This is a Double Z design - made with the Abigail Rose DSP.  Like many of the Designer papers, there are large flowers to fussy cut (cut by hand) or cut with matching dies, to use as accent pieces. This paper does remind me of days gone by when life was much simpler.  I am attracted to this as well. 

Here are some sympathy cards with the Sun Prints papers.  I'd always wanted to have the sun make prints on dark fabric or paper, and here it is, already done for me. 

There are many other stamps, dies, punches, embossing folders on this 3-DAY sale that are not shown in my samples.

Bouquet of Remembrance & Friendship Cards

I found this card design on Pinterest - perfect for a stack of white cardstock pieces I had from a previous project.   I chose these colors for my flowers - Sweet Sorbet (red) and Parakeet Parade, both In-Colors for 2022-2023, to honor those that have given their lives in military service to our country, the USA.  We acknowledge them on Memorial Day, the last Monday in May.

So here's my BOUQUET OF REMEMBRANCE card!

Basic white layer is 2" x  11".   Score at 5 1/2".   Score again for the top fold at 2 3/4".   

Before you start assembling  your die cuts and images on any card, make sure that they will fit within the 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" size - this is an A2 card.  If the flowers go beyond the edge of that width or height, then I'll have to use a larger envelope.   This is always the first thing I do when I make a stand up card - check for the envelope size.

For the layer, I used Tea Boutique Designer Papers cut at 1 3/4" x 5 1/4".  The top layer is cut at 1 3/4" wide, but then trimmed approximately in half and shaped to that of a vase top.  To clarify, leave about 1 2/" of the top layer extending beyond the fold line so that there's something to glue the flowers on to.

Choose flowers that will appear to be sticking out of vase.  I used Summer Shadows Dies.  

Wrap the Faux Linen Ribbon around the vase piece.

                                                         

I used "Friend" for the sentiment but "thank you" to go with the theme of the card.  Pop it up with dimensionals so the top fold would sit behind it. 

CARD #2 STEEPED IN FRIENDSHIP POP-UP: 

The second card, "Warmed in love steeped in Friendship" is the same technique.  Use a 2" x 11" card base, scored in half at 5 1/2".  Score the top half at 2 3/4" to make the top fold.  Trim the end if needed to accommodate your design so it will fit behind the pop-up.

The difference with this card is that I created a mechanism that makes the tea cup a pop-up.  To make any pop-up, use a mechanism. It is a cube of paper that is even on all 4 sides - here I used 3/4" based on the height of the tea cup; then added an extra 1/2" tab to glue the cube together.  See photo.

Glue the mechanism to the back of the tea cup and then to the bottom the card base.   The mechanism allows 3 things: the image to be a pop-up; the image to fold flat when the card closes; and the image and mechanism together provides an anchor for the top image.  

When cutting the top layer, as in the first card, make sure it sticks up enough to glue your die cut on, Attach your die cut, making sure first that it isn't too wide for the envelope.

A sentiment and signature can be written on the back of the card.  

Its not difficult to put these together with a little thinking of your images and how you're going to attach them.
