Whiskey Business 10 Minute Card

 Hello and thanks for visiting!

Today's card is a quick 10 minute birthday card.  Sometimes, I just don't have the perfect card for an occasion, or the person.  This is how the Whiskey Business card came to be.  We were invited to join a birthday celebration and I had just returned home from VA, so I sat down and quickly created this card.  I hope it inspires you to try and create a simple card quickly.  Give it a try, just pull out a stamp set, minimal colours and create - you may be very pleasantly surprised with the results.  Stampin'' Up!® artwork is fabulous, make it the star.

  

And here's the card details:

4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Cinnamon Cider card base   (4 1/4 x 11 folded in half landscape orientation)

4 x 5 1/4 Cinnamon Cider cardstock (CS) layer

2 x 5 1/4 Basic White CS layer

You're A Peach DSP for Sketch #500 at FMS

 Hello and thanks for visiting!

Today's card was inspired by a couple of things.  First the beautifully simply sketch from Linda Callahan at Freshly Made Sketches.  This sketch is super special because its # 500 - yes you read that correct - the Freshly Made Sketches design team has been providing inspiration for Ten Years!  Congratulations!   

Second, it's peach season here in Niagara Ontario Canada.  This easy layered card is terrific to make in multiples - humm say when giving away jars of peach jam ;)      

Click on either my card or the FMS images to go directly to their blog and soak in the inspiration!

As you may already know I'm a paper gal, I love all Designer Series Paper!  I don't even  own the Sweet As A Peach stamp set, but I have the paper - ha.  This sketch lends itself very well to using a little bit of DSP and pulling the coordinating colours from the paper to create a card.   I hope my card inspires you to choose a favourite piece of DSP and create a super simple card with layers.

And here's the card measurements and Trix :)

4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Calypso Coral card base  (4 1/4 x 11 folded in half portrait orientation)

3 5/8 x 4 7/8 Basic White cardstock (CS) layer

4 13/16 x 3 9/16 Mango Melody layer  ***Trix, the 16th of an inch measurements are simply a smidge smaller than the 5/8 and 7/8 Basic White layer above.  I really like a tiny little border.  Measure to the 5/8 of an inch mark and then slide the paper back to the 16th inch mark just before it on the paper trimmer, repeat for the 7/8 inch mark.

2 x 11/16 piece of You're a Peach DSP

1/2 x 2 3/8 Basic White piece for sentiment

Lovely You stamp set

Calypso Coral ink

Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon

Artistry Blooms Adhesive Backed Sequins

Assembly & Trix:

*  Adhere the Mango Melody layer to the Basic White CS layer with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (glue)

*  Adhere the DSP to the Mango Melody layer with glue.

*  Tie a ribbon around the card and make a bow just above where the sentiment layer will be.

*  Adhere the layer to the card base with glue.

*  Stamp the sentiment with Calypso Coral ink and adhere below the ribbon with Stampin' Dimensionals.

*  Adhere the Artistry Blooms Sequins, they're adhesive backed, easy peasy :)

******A super clean and simple card, change the DSP, cardstock colour, sentiment and embellishments and you'll have am entirely different card!  Thx again Linda for the terrific sketch and congrats to the design team on this milestone achievement!

The thank you card for my customers this month features the new Thinking Thanks & Peace stamp set.  This versatile stamp set is terrific for #simplestamping cards.  I added Black Baker's Twine because I love it!  but you could add a strip of cardstock as well to keep it simple, or layer it up with more ribbon or DSP strips etc.

The little hidden gem on this card is the brush stroke border, created using the Textures & Frames free stamp set.  It's free during Sale a-bration (SAB) on now til September 30, 2021 with a $60 purchase. 

I love black with bright colours, but you could use any colour combo you wish!  I wanted to create a card without flowers and I realize every card does not need a bow - I know - gasp - right!

*  Cut this stamped 2 inch strip in half lengthwise and keep one strip for another card.  

*  Stamp the "sending thanks" sentiment at the bottom of the larger Basic white layer using the colour of your choice.

Delicate Dahlias for FMS #497

 Hello and thanks for visiting today!

Today's card was inspired by Jacquie's Sketch Challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.  And of course the Delicate Dahlia stamp that is oh so beautiful and *Free* during Sale a-bration (SAB)  Click here, to see the free Delicate Dahlias stamp set available 'til September 30, 2021 with a $120 purchase.

Click on either my card or the FMS image to visit their blog directly and soak in the inspiration!  

My interpretation of the sketch was to add twine to create the neat pattern on top of the stamped images.  This stamp set is so fun to create with because you can create different colour combinations just as you'd find in a gorgeous bunch of Dahlia's.  I love the combo of white and gold twine together.  Can you find the little bee?  

I hope my card inspires you to create a beautiful background with one of your favourite stamp sets.  Remember keep it Summertime Easy and create a SIP card, but if the embellishments call out to you- put them on the card :)    

And here's the card details.

4 1/ x 5 1/2 Thick Basic White card base ( 4 1/4 x 11 folded in half)

4 x 5 1/4 Basic White cardstock (CS) layer

3/8 piece of Basic White CS for sentiment

Delicate Dahlia's stamp set. 

Inks:  Highland Heather; Cajun Craze; Gorgeous Grape

Embellishments: White Baker's Twine; Gold Simply Elegant Trim; Bumblebee Trinket

Assembly & Trix:

*  Stamp the Dahlia stamp using Highland Heather & Cajun Craze.  ***Trix, I practice with colour combos on scrap paper first.  Change the intensity of the colour with generational stamping and find the combo that you like best.

*  Stamp the sentiment using Gorgeous Grape.  ***Trix, The sentiment is small amidst a big overall background pattern, stamping it with a darker image helps it to stand out. 

*  Wrap twine around the card as shown.  ***Trix, I adhere the twine to the back of the card using Stampin' Seal and some glue dots to hold the gold twine in place,

*  Adhere the sentiment using Stampin Dimensionals.

*  Adhere the stamped layer to the card base with dimensionals.

Enjoy and have a super day!

Sale a-brate with Delicate Dahlias

 Hello and thanks for visiting!

Today's SIP card (Stamps Ink & Paper) is created with the free Sale a-bration stamp set called Delicate Dahlias.  I have a hard time growing Dahlias in my garden, so I'm making a card instead! And, my dad used to always say "Thank you Kindly", so when I saw this stamp set it really spoke to me.

I absolutely love the variety of colours of Dahlias, but I think the pink and terra cotta shades are my favourite, so I chose Cajun Craze and Flirty Flamingo but I think I'm going to make a few more and mix 'em up a bit and see what I can create.  

And here's the card details:

4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Basic White card base  ( 4 1/4 x 11 folded in half landscape orientation)

1 1/8 x 5 1/2 Basic White strip

Assembly & Trix

*  I chose Basic White cardstock (CS) for this card because it is a single layer card for the most part.  Even tho' I used a band, it isn't adding much weight, there are no embellishments on the card to add weight either.  I recommend Thick Basic white for most card bases.  

*  SIP card are super simple because literally all you do is stamp!  I chose to vary the intensity of colour using generational stamping - what does that mean you ask?....

*  Ink up the Delicate Dahlia with Flirty Flamingo and stamp on the card, then stamp again without reinking.  The 1st stamped image is Generation 1, the 2nd image is generation 2.   You choice of colour will change the look of the card.  Darker colours can often be stamped three times.  

*  Stamp using Cajun Craze ink.  ***Trix, I chose to use the Cajun Craze last because it is the darkest, this adds visual dimension to the card.

*  Using the Paper Trimmer, score 1/8 of and inch in from either side on the strip of Basic White.  Then stamp the sentiment using Cajun Craze.  

*  Adhere the sentiment band using Multipurpose Liquid Glue!

**Simple & Done!  Love SIP cards!**

*Please use the Host Code found on the right side bar of this blog when your order total is greater than $60, and I will send you a thank you in the mail the following month with your thank you card.  

Assembly & Trix:

*  Stamp the sentiment and die cut using the Tasteful Label from the scrap piece of Basic White cardstock.

*  Using the Stamparatus™ stamp the Delicate Dahlia three times using the above colours, and add more ink with the sponge daubers.  ***Trix, move the CS around on the Stamparatus™ to align the flowers in a grouping of three while keeping the dahlia in place, end with the Fresh Freesia flower on the bottom and keep the card in place.

*  Lay the label on top of the dahlias, and stamp again using Fresh Freesia.  ***Trix, now the label is perfectly aligned with the dahlia and when raised on Stampin' Dimensionals will add depth to the card.  

*  Emboss the stamped layer with the Tasteful Texture embossing folder.

*  Adhere the twine to the back of the label using Stampin' Seal then adhere to the stamped layer using dimensionals.

*  Adhere the two strips of Be Dazzling paper to the stamped layer with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (glue)  ***Trix, I used glue and set it aside to dry for a minute, the glimmer accent on this paper requires a strong adhesive.  Stampin' Seal Plus and Tear & Tape Adhesive will also probably work but I didn't have them with me at the time.

*  Adhere the Kraft paper layer to the stamped layer with glue and then adhere the entire layer to the card base with glue.  

I hope this card has inspired you to shop and earn free Sale a-bration products to add to your collection!

Enjoy and have a super day!
