Weekly Card Class - Story Book Moments & More Messages

Hey Friend! Today I’m sharing a project from our weekly live card class. Every Thursday at 3 PM Central, I go live on Facebook and YouTube to walk you through two fun projects featuring a Stampin’ Up!® product of the week. 

This card was one of the designs we created together using the Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper and the Storybook Garden Patch Bundle. 

If you missed the live, no worries—you’ll find the replay link at the end of this post so you can catch all the details.

Here’s a look at the whole card. I started with an Early Espresso card base. And added a piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock. I used the largest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a window right in the center. After that, I ran it through the Damask Embossing Folder to give it some beautiful texture. On the back side, I glued a piece of Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper so that the patterned design peeked through the window. To finish off this layer, I wrapped some Linen Thread around the bottom and tied a bow off to the left side before adhering it to the card front.

For the details, I stamped the watering can, shovel, and clay pot images onto Very Vanilla cardstock using Memento Black Ink. I colored them in with Stampin’ Blends: Pecan Pie for the clay pots, Cloud Cover, and Gray Granite for the watering can and shovel. I tucked the stamped shovel image behind the watering can and then added a die-cut strawberries from the Storybook Moments Specialty Designer Series Paper. Everything came together for such a sweet little cluster of gardening goodness!

The sentiment came from the More Messages Stamp Set and was cut out using the coordinating die. I popped the watering can and clay pots onto the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals to add depth and dimension. For a finishing touch, I scattered a few Antique Pearls across the front for a little shimmer and added a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Very Vanilla cardstock inside to finish off the card.

This project turned out to be so much fun and full of texture—it really feels like a little garden scene! I hope it inspires you to play with embossing, layering, and coloring on your own cards. 

Don’t forget, you can join me every Thursday at 3 PM Central for our live card class. If you’d like to recreate this card, you can shop all the supplies in my online store. Until next time, happy stamping!

Coffee & Cards Storybook Moments Card No. 2

Hey Friend! Today, I’m sharing another fun card we created during Coffee & Cards, and this one was a lot of fun to put together. I pulled out my blends, did a little masking, and ended up with this sweet garden-inspired design. 

If you’ve never joined me for Coffee & Cards, I’d love for you to stop by! I go live every Tuesday at 10 AM Central on Facebook and YouTube—it’s the perfect mid-morning creative break. 

You’ll find the replay for this card linked at the end of this post.

Here’s a look at the finished card. I started with a Mossy Meadow card base and layered on a piece of Early Espresso cardstock for a nice, rich frame. Next, I added a layer of Perfectly Plaid Designer Series Paper, which gave the card a subtle touch of pattern and texture without taking away from the stamped images.

On top, I added a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped the carrots, cabbage, and clay pots using Memento Black Ink. To get the overlapping look, I used the masking technique; such a fun and easy way to build a scene! Then I pulled out my Stampin’ Blends and added color: Pecan Pie for the clay pots, Blackberry Bliss for the cabbage, Timid Tiger for the carrots, and Old Olive for the leafy greens. The finishing touch was a hand-drawn border using the Stampin’ Journaling Pen.

For the sentiment, I turned to the Mixed Labels Bundle. I stamped “Your Kindness Made My Day!” in Early Espresso Ink and die-cut it with the banner shape from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Behind the sentiment, I tucked in a little Linen Thread for texture and popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish off the design, I added a few Antique Pearls—because what’s a handmade card without a little shine?

This one makes me smile every time I look at it—it feels like a little peek into a garden on a sunny day. I hope this card inspires you to try some masking and coloring in your own projects. If you’d like to create it yourself, you can find all the supplies in my online store, and don’t forget to catch the video replay for step-by-step instructions. Until next time, happy stamping!

Coffee & Cards - Storybook Moments Card No. 1

Hey friend! Today I'm sharing one of the cards we created during yesterday's Coffee & Cards Class using the Storybook Moments Specialty Designer Series Paper.

If you've never joined me for Coffee & Cards, I'd love for you to pop in for some creative fun! I go live every Tuesday at 10:00 AM Central on both Facebook and YouTube, and it's always a great time to connect and create together.

If you'd like to watch the full tutorial for this project, you'll find the video replay link at the end of this post. 

Here’s the full view of the finished card. I started with a Crumb Cake card base, which always feels like the perfect neutral for layering. To add some beautiful texture to the background, I added another layer of Crumb Cake cardstock and ran it through the Damask Design embossing folder. It gave the card that extra bit of elegance without overpowering the rest of the design.

Next, I layered on a piece of the Storybook Moments Specialty Designer Series Paper. The soft patterns in this paper are gorgeous, and they complement the nature-inspired elements beautifully. I die-cut two circles using the Stylish Shapes Dies—one in a blue patterned paper and one showcasing that adorable little critter holding a flower. Aren’t those details just the cutest?

For the sentiment, I used the Mixed Labels Bundle. I cut out the label shape and stamped “You’re Pretty Wonderful” in Early Espresso Ink. Before adding it to the card front, I tucked some Linen Thread behind it for a touch of texture and then popped it up on Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish, I added a few Antique Pearls—because every card deserves just a little bit of bling!

I just love how this card turned out—the mix of texture, soft colors, and that sweet little woodland image makes it such a joy to give (or keep on your desk for inspiration!). I hope this project sparks an idea or two for your own crafting time. If you’d like to recreate it, all of the products I used are available in my online store. Don’t forget to catch the video replay for step-by-step instructions. Until next time, happy stamping!

Measurements:

Crumb Cake card base: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" scored at 4-1/4"

Embossed Crumb Cake layer: 4" x 5-1/4"

Designer Series Paper: 3" x 4 "

Die-cut circles and label: cut with Stylish Shapes Dies and Mixed Labels Bundle

Hey friend! I’m back with another card we created during this week’s Coffee & Cards Class. This one features the Scenic Adventures Bundle paired with the gorgeous Gallery Blooms Designer Series Paper—and I love how it turned out!

If you’re new here, Coffee & Cards is my weekly live class on Facebook and YouTube every Tuesday at 10 AM CT. It’s a fun time to hang out, stamp together, and get inspired. I’d love for you to join me!

You’ll find the video replay at the end of this post, along with details on how you can grab this week’s Class Kit to Go.

I started with a Mossy Meadow card base and layered it with a scenic piece of the Gallery Blooms DSP—the artwork in this paper does so much of the heavy lifting! To build the scene, I die-cut the grass from Mossy Meadow cardstock and adhered it at the bottom of the card.

Next, I added a little forest magic. Two large trees cut from Soft Sea Foam cardstock went down first. Then I layered in a smaller tree cut from Old Olive cardstock, popping it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals for depth. For a fun touch of color, I die-cut tiny flowers in Calypso Coral cardstock and tucked them in behind the grass—like a pop of wildflowers on a mountainside trail. Doesn’t it just make you want to take a deep breath and head outside?

The sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso and Mossy Meadow ink on Very Vanilla cardstock, then die-cut with the Mixed Label Dies. I added it with Stampin’ Dimensionals and finished off the card with a sprinkle of In Color Flat Pearls for just the right amount of shine.

Measurements:

Card base (Secret Sea cs): 4-1/4" x 11", scored at 5-1/2"

Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper (card base layer): 4-1/8" x 5-3/8"

This card came together so easily; don’t you love it when that happens? The DSP really set the scene with its gorgeous landscape artwork. I started with a Secret Sea card base, then die-cut the trees from the Scenic Adventure Dies in Mossy Meadow cardstock. A little lift from Stampin’ Dimensionals gave them that perfect pop of dimension against the background.

For the sentiment, I stamped the sentiment in Secret Sea ink onto a die-cut label made with the Mixed Label Dies and Cloud Cover cardstock. The soft blue really ties in with the background and gives that peaceful, calming feel. Doesn’t it feel like you’re standing at the edge of the mountains, just taking it all in? A little linen thread bow and a couple of In-Color Pearls were the perfect finishing touches without distracting from the gorgeous scene.

Measurements:

Card base (Secret Sea cs): 4-1/4" x 11", scored at 5-1/2"

Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper (card base layer): 4" x 5-1/4"
