Cutest Crew Clean & Simple Card

I just love the color coordination of this card! I saw this and knew it would be perfect for my Senior stampers! And, I always try to create one card using some of my retired products, so this fits the bill there, too, as it uses the retired Painted Illusions POTM paper!

Measurements:

Pretty Peacock: 1/2 sheet, 3" square (circle), 3 pcs @ 2 1/4" x 3 1/4"
Painted Illusions DSP (ret): 3 pcs @ 2" x 3", 1/2" x 4" (inside)
Basic White: 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4", 2 1/2" square (circle punch)

To Make this Card:

Run one White piece through Soft Waves Embossing Folder. Adhere to folded Pretty Peacock card base.
Next, adhere 3 DSP pcs to the 3 Pretty Peacock pcs. Arrange onto card front as desired.
Now, die cut circle from Spotlight on Nature Dies and Pretty Peacock cardstock.
Punch circle from White with 2 3/8" Circle Punch.
Then, stamp "birds" and sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink. Color with Granny Apple Green and Lost Lagoon Blends, and adhere to Pretty Peacock circle.
Add to front of card with Dimensionals.
Finish inside with White layer and strip of DSP.
Finish outside with scattered Wave gems (ret). Or, the Array Dots!

Boutique Blossoms Layered Card

I've probably had this bundle since the current catalog came out. The flower is just stunning as is the coordinating DSP! However, i just hadn't gotten around to using it! This is a version of a card I found from demonstrator Cindy Elam (of course, with my own twist). We will be doing it in my Senior Center Class...and maybe my monthly class as well!

Measurements:

Crisp Cantaloupe (N): 1/2 sheet
Bloom Boutique DSP (N): 2 7/8" x 4 3/4", 1/2" x 5 1/4"
Basic White: 2 1/2" square (flower); 3 1/8" square (smooth circle); 3 3/4" square (embossed circle); 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), scrap (label)
Lost Lagoon: scraps

To Make this Card:

Adhere DSP piece to folded Crisp Cantaloupe card base. Attach it clear over to the left of card.
Next, take Scalloped Blooms Dies and die cut one, larger White one with no stitching, and the next smaller size with stitching.
Emboss the larger, scalloped circle with the retiring Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder. Set aside.
Stamp outline of "rose" onto piece of White, in Calypso Coral. Color in with Crisp Cantaloupe and Calypso Coral Blends. Die cut with corresponding die. Add a little Wink of Stella to the flower.
Die cut 2 "leaves" with Boutique Blossoms dies and Lost Lagoon Cardstock.
Adhere largest, scalloped circle to front of card, to the left, as shown. I used squares of the Adhesive Foam Sheets.
Next, add the smooth, scalloped circle with square of the Adhesive Foam Sheet.
And, lastly, I added the flower.
Then, tuck the leaves under the flower.
Add a Crisp Cantaloupe bow, as shown.
For the label, stamp sentiment in Lost Lagoon ink. Die cut with die from the Sweet Words and Labels Dies. Add to card front with Dimensionals.
Finish front with new Glossy Garden Dots.
Finish inside with stamped rose buds in the in corner, colored with Blends, and a strip of the gorgeous DSP.

Pretty Poinsettia Pop Out Slider Card

I made this sample in Stamp Club, Saturday, so I had another sample of this awesome fold, and gorgeous bundle! The inspiration comes from Karina Stamps. The poinsettia details and card color bases are hers, how I decorated is my creation! This is the first time I've used Barely Blush, it is really so soft and beautiful.

Measurements:

Basic White: 1/2 sheet (front), 5 1/2" x 6 1/2" (inside), 3 1/4" x 5 1/2" (back), 2 pcs @ 2" x 3", 2 pcs @ 1 1/2" x 2 1/2". 1/4 sheet (poinsettia)
Gingham Gallery DSP (N)(OE): 4" x 5 1/4", 3 1/2" x 5 1/4" (Barely Blush)
Barely Blush 2-Tone cardstock: 2 1/2" x 5 1/4", 2 pcs @ 1 3/4" x 2 3/4", scraps
Pearlized Specialty Paper (N): 3 1/2" square (Barely Blush)
Soft Sea Foam: 1/4 sheet
White Willow cardstock: 3/4" x 12"

To Make this Card:

Score the "front" piece along the 11" side @ 4 1/4" - 5 1/2". Rotate to the shorter side and make the following cuts/slits, to the 5 1/2" score line: 1/2" - 2 1/2" - 3" - 5".
Next, remove the 1/2" pieces from top, bottom and center, leaving 2 extensions.
Now, take the inside piece and score along the 6 1/2" side @ 2 3/4". Crease well.
Adhere the smaller Gingham DSP piece to the left side, and the solid Barely Blush piece to the smaller, right side.
Next, adhere the left cut edge of the inside piece, to the inside cut edge of the front. I used Multipurpose Glue and only placed glue for about 1" wide. You want the area near the creases free.
Now, we need to create the "guide" for the moving "extensions".
Wrap the 12" piece around the inside, back of card, for fit. Adhere into a "belly band".
Remove this from its' current position, and slip it over the "extensions of the outside piece, and adhere to to just the back of the inside piece. Clear as mud, right. It DOES work!
The final step is to adhere this strip to the outside piece, placing Multipurpose Glue just on the 3/4" 2-tone strip. Lining up the cut edges.
As you flip over your base, you'll see the whole mechanism exposed. That's where to add the last piece of base color. Again, just add Multipurpose Glue to just the exposed 3/4" strip.
Try the mechanism, to see that it "works"! The more you move it, the easier it will move.
Let's finish decorating the front!
For this version, I die cut the 4 sections of the Poinsettia from White. This is an Impressions Die, so leave the pieces in the die, and run them through the Stampin' Cut & Die Machine with the Impressions Plate (Matt), to create a deeper detail!
Repeat for the "leaves" in Soft Sea Foam.
Before assembling the petals, add Barely Blush Shimmer Brush to the top, detail of the petals. Add Clear Wink of Stella to the "leaves".
Next,,die cut a circle from Pearlized Specialty Paper and the Spotlight on Nature Dies.
Adhere circle to the front of card.
Assemble the flower, adding a die cut center, and place on "leaves", which I cut in half.
I stamped the sentiment directly onto the front with Basic Gray ink, and added 2026 InColor Dots.
I finished the inside "extensions" with stamped "poinsettias" and sentiment on the top piece, leaving the bottom free. I added a few 2026 InColor Dots.

Butterfly Flight meets Fern & Flora

You don't have to use the masks to make neat foiled butterflies! This quick card by Pamela Blackwell, pairs the Hot Foiled Butterflies from the Butterfly Flight bundle with the DSP and dies from the Fern & Flora Bundle. Pretty Classy! I love how it turned out!

Measurements:

Secret Sea: 1/2 sheet
Berry Burst: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8", 1/4 sheet (foiled butterflies), scrap
Moonlit Flora (N): 4" x 5 1/4"
Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), scraps
Soft Sea Foam: 3" x 4" (ferns)

To Make this Card:

Layer Berry Burst and DSP onto folded Secret Sea card base.
Heat Foil the Butterfly Flight die in Gold Foil onto Berry Burst piece. Then, die cut with corresponding die. Set these aside.
Next, die cut 1 ea of the 2 "ferns" in the Fern & Flora dies in Soft Sea Foam
Also die cut the small flowers (they look like bows or bugs) in White, and the centers in Berry Burst (you'll need 2 of these).
To assemble the "flowers" you'll criss-cross the pieces, after first pairing them up. Add center of your choice. I did this with Multipurpose Glue.
Stamp and heat emboss "label" in Gold. Die cut with corresponding die.
Add sentiment in Berry Burst ink.
Shape the "butterflies" with bone folder.
Adhere the largest to the upper left of card front, as shown.
Then, determine where label will go, and adhere "ferns" so they will end up below and above the label, which is popped up with Dimensionals.
Next, add the 2 smaller "butterflies" to the front. I used Dimensionals, but Tear n Tape works well, too.
Finish front with small "flowers" and Berry Burst Garden Epoxy Dies.
Finish the inside with White insert, and one of the left over "butterflies" and Garden Dots.
