SATURDAY IS DESIGNATED AS #SIMPLESTAMPING DAY

Each Saturday, during 2022, my posts will introduce the Stampin’ Up!© product suite or bundle that I will feature for the rest of the week. This week is all about the RAINBOW OF HAPPINESS BUNDLE and the FREE coordinating SUNSHINE & RAINBOWS 6″x 6″ DESIGNER SERIES PAPER that you can select after placing a minimum $90 order.

In Australia, the Rainbow of Happiness Bundle is $77.25 and a set of Notecards & Envelopes (159232) is $12.25. This order would not, quite, qualify for the FREE DSP.

With some experience in ordering Stampin’ Up! supplies, you can develop some very strategic approaches to maximising your orders.

Let me share today’s projects before I share some ordering tips.

Today is #simplestamping day and I have two cards to share with you.

I do not usually use so many colours in my #simplestamping cards but a rainbow needs more than one or two colours.

For this rainbow I used Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, Magenta Madness and Mango Madness.

The sentiment was stamped using Bermuda Bay.

The rainbow and sentiment were stamped directly onto the notecard.

My second card has just a few extra features.

I stamped the rainbow, using the same colours, in approximately the same place.

Then I stamped the same sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock. I took a slightly larger piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock and punched a banner end in the right handside. The sentiment was then adhered to banner piece using Stampin’ Dimensionals. This layered piece was then placed over the bottom of the rainbow using some more Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The inside of the card and envelope were stamped using the small triple heart image.

I must admit that I still find creating #simplestamping cards challenging. When I first started my cardmaking journey these were the only type of cards I could make – I had so few tools and products and even less knowledge of techniques.

Almost a decade on and I have been making so many more projects with more products, tools and techniques. Tomorrow I will show you some cards that suit crafters wanting to make more ‘complex’ cards. These crafters have access to more products and tools. These craftes also have more experience with a wider range of techniques. I will share some stepped up cards tomorrow.

Until then, happy stamping.

FUN FOLD FRIDAY IS HERE AGAIN!

Today’s fun fold card is a CENTRE STEP CARD. I have adapted the measurements I found on the internet to use a piece of cardstock measuring 11-1/2″x 4-1/8″ (29.3cm x 10.5cm).

I am also continuing to use some of the product Artfully Composed Suite.

Here is a diagram of my template.

I started with an Evening Evergreen cardbase and prepared it using the instructions above. Then I cut the two vertical lines that are 3/4″ in from the left and right hand sides. The cut started 1″ above the bottom of the cardbase and stopped 5″ from the top.

The three shorter horizontal lines were scored so that they can bend to create the steps.

Another horizontal was scored in the centre panel at the halfway point – 5-3/4″.

Then I cut the Designer Series Paper panels to adhere tp the front of the card. The paper for the centre panel measures 5-3/8″x 2-1/2″. The two narrow side pieces each measure 4-5/8″x 5/8″. The two small rectangles in the bottom corners measure 7/8″x 5/8″.

For the leaf embellishments I started by stamping a piece of Basic White cardstock with Calypso Coral, Just Jade and Pear Pizzazz. Then I cut out the solid leaf using one of the Tropical Layers Dies. I also cut one of the leaf shapes from a piece of Calypso Coral cardstock. Both of these shapes were then given added texture using the stripes folder from the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folders.

Then I cut a third leaf using a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock. The leaves were overlapped and glued together before adding it to the front of the card.

I added a Basic White insert inside the card. It measures 4-7/8″x 4″ and it has a 1/2″ strip of the Calypso Coral DSP attached. A second strip was added to the front of the envelope.

The birthday greeting, from the Artfully Layered Stamp Set, was stamped and trimmed down to add to the card front.

To finish off the card I added some Matte Black Dots across the front of the card.

I wonder if you have noticed that I have some new background sheets that I am using in my photos. What do you think of them?

This week I featured the Artfully Composed Suite and from tomorrow, I will showcase another suite.

Until tomorrow, happy stamping.

3D THURSDAY – TIME TO MAKE A GIFT BOX

I really enjoy making 3D projects, especially gift boxes.

Today’s gift box is designed to hold 6 notecards and envelopes. It is also a’flat fold’ gift box. Let me show you what I mean.

This gift box holds the 6 notecards and envelopes that I shared last Saturday and Sunday.

The box has been made using the same Designer Series Paper and coordinating cardstock. It is a ‘flat fold’ box because no adhesive has been used to create a permanent 3D box structure. Once the Evening Evergreen OPen Weave Ribbon bow is untied, the box opens out completely.

There is enough space to position the notecards and envelopes, as you can see. The ‘side flaps’ of the front panel tuck in behind the cards. You could adhere these into position to make a more premanent construction.

For this project, I only added DSP panels to the central panels of the box. As you can see, I have ensured that the continuity of the design wraps continuously through the box panels.

Before I adhered the front DSP piece, I secured a length of Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon so that it could be tied in a bow the hold the front flap down.

3D projects don’t always need ahuge number of products to createthe finished result.

Tomorrow is Fun Fold Friday and I’m not sure what I will create yet. Thank goodness for 24 hours!

UNtil tomorrow, happy stamping.
