Sweet Country Inspired Friendship Card

Rosanne April 2, 2021 April 1, 2021All Occasion, Birthday, Cards, Friendship, Friendship, Just Because

Happy Good Friday!

Today’s card is definitely “me”. I know this because while I usually (lovingly) labor over creating a card, this one came together quickly and seamlessly. I was truly in my element with the buffalo check, wreath and color.

While all the products I used are retiring on 5/3, I wanted to give them another go around. Here’s the details…

A2 thick Basic White card base is cut at 4 1/4″ x 11″ and scored at 5 1/2″ for a top fold card.
The next layer is regular Basic White card stock cut at 4″ x 5 1/4″.
On this layer, I stamped a 1 1/4″ border using the Buffalo Check stamp and Rococo Rose ink.
Next, I added a piece of Rococo Rose 1/2″ Scalloped Linen Ribbon around the top of the stamped check.
By gluing a few (3) pieces of inexpensive thick card stock to the back of this panel, it provided just a small and sturdy amount of dimension. This also cuts down on the bulk of the card for mailing purposes.

The wreath is created using the Wreath Builder dies.
A few added details on the wreath are: tiny pearls for the flower centers, bumblebee enamel dots and linen thread.
The sentiment is from the Arrange a Wreath stamp set and is stamped with black ink.

The inside sentiment is from the retiring Happy Thoughts stamp set. I really wish this great set of sentiments was carrying over into the new catalog. However, I know I’ll continue to use it anyway. Most of the retired sets I hold onto are for the sentiments.
Just like I did on the front of the card, I stamped the Buffalo Check directly onto the Basic White panel and layered it onto a piece of Rococo Rose card stock.

Here’s a look at what products are retiring along with some really deep discounts. However, once a product is sold out, it’s gone for good!

Thanks for stopping by today. I wish you & yours a wonderful & blessed Easter weekend.

Using Tulle for a Pretty Background

Today I have something a bit different (at least for me). I created my card with a subtle yet oh so pretty tulle background. You may have to look closer to see it but IRL, it’s very evident. I take no credit for this discovery and owe it to watching Jennifer McGuire using the technique. I did have the tulle on hand, though!

So what do you think? Is it something you would use on a card? Let me share the details…

The A2 Very Vanilla card base measures 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″.
A piece of Very Vanilla thick card stock is cut at 5″ x 3 3/4″.
The tulle is wrapped around to cover this panel and secured with regular tape.
The flowers, from the True Love Designer Series Paper, are colored using Rococo Rose and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends and cut out.
I positioned the flowers on the tulle cover panel starting from the middle to the edges and glued them with Tombow liquid glue.
After gluing, I trimmed any flowers that were hanging off the edge, being careful not to cut into the tulle.

The Basic Black frame is a non-SU die that fit perfectly around my images. I used this as opposed to the Stitched Rectangle dies because it was a little wider. The Stitched Rectangles would work also. I cut two frames and glued them together for a little more dimension.
The frame is glued to the tulle panel and then both are glued to the card base.
The sentiment, from the Butterfly Gala stamp set (and one of my most favorite sentiments) is heat embossed with white embossing powder and added to the card with dimensionals.
Lastly, I added a few sequins for a little sparkle.

The inside is embellished with a small strip of colored DSP and card stock.
The sentiment is from the Floral Essence stamp set and placed at the top to give room for a personal note.

I couldn’t complete a card without coordinating the envelope. Again, I used a strip of colored DSP. You may (or may not) have noticed that on the envelope and inside card, I colored the DSP background as well with a black Stampin’ Blend. Needless to say, I could color all day!

It’s time to start saying goodbye to some favorite products to make room for some new favorites. Initially, I’m always a bit overwhelmed by all that is going away but eventually I can reconcile it with returning favorites and embrace some of the new. Here’s a look at what’s leaving along with some really deep discounts. However, once a product is sold out, it’s gone for good!

A Little Something…for Easter

Rosanne March 17, 2021 March 18, 20213D, Cards, Easter

Comments: 8

Welcome to March’s installment of CASEing (Copy & Selectively Edit) Coast to Coast. Karen Hallam (in CA) and I (in PA) are welcoming Spring today. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t wish you a Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I usually don’t make cards for this particular holiday, so today’s project skips right to Easter.

I created a card and matching treat box using the Arrange a Wreath bundle.

Card Details

The top foldingA2 card base is Gorgeous Grape card stock measuring 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″.
The next layer is Basic White card stock measuring 4″ x 5 1/4″
I cut a piece of patterned paper from the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper at 4″ x 1 3/4″ and glued it to the bottom of the Basic White layer.
I wrapped a piece of 3/8″ Gorgeous Grape Sheer ribbon around the Basic White panel and glued it to the card base.
The sentiment is from the Arrange a Wreath stamp set and is stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink.

If you’ve been following me lately, you already know how much I enjoy making wreaths with this bundle.

I didn’t have a current stamp set that had a significant sized sentiment for the inside, so I had to reach into my retired stamp sets for this lovely sentiment. It’s from the Suite Saying stamp set and one that I’ll hang onto just for the variety of sentiments it contains. This is also stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink.
I added a few more colored Easter eggs for a pretty embellishment.

Now here’s the real treat…I recently found these “fancy” chocolate eggs and wanted a pretty way to present them. The Love You Always treat boxes are one of the best products in the January-June mini catalog. They’re so easy to assemble, very sturdy and food safe.

I cut a matching piece of DSP at 10″ x 4″ then scored it at 2″, 3 1/2″, 6 1/4″ & 7 7/8″ to wrap around the box lid.
The label is a die from the Stitched So Sweetly dies. I glued it to a piece of Gorgeous Grape card stock.
The sentiment is from the Fancy Phrases stamp set.
I embellished it to match the wreath on the card.

That wraps up my project for this month’s cross country crafting adventure. If you haven’t already, please click HERE to visit Karen in CA to see her CASEing project.

As always, thanks very much for spending some time here with me today. I hope your Wednesday is wonderful!

Take care,

Rosanne

Kangaroo & Co. Mini Slimline Birthday Card & Tag

Rosanne March 10, 2021 March 10, 2021Birthday, Cards, Children

Comments: 15

Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team’s theme is “Cute Critters” – showcasing their card/project with adorable animals, birds, or insects for any occasion. We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments! We love hearing from you. At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Today’s card is a mini slimline which is quickly becoming my favorite size card to make. It measures 6″ x 3 1/2″.

Card Details

The Whisper White card base is cut at 6″ x 7″ and scored at 3 1/2″ on the 7″ side.
The next panel is a piece of Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper in Bermuda Bay. It’s cut 1/8″ smaller that the card base and is glued to the card base.
I cut another Bermuda Bay pattern from Oh So Ombre DSP 1/8″ smaller than the last panel. It measures 3 1/4″ x 5 3/4″.

In this panel, I cut three circles using a circle die from the Layering Circles dies.
Then I added glue around the outside edges and glued it to the card.
I trimmed the circles with two scalloped circles.
The cute little kangaroos were colored with Stampin’ Blend and tucked into each circle.
The colored packages were adhered with dimensionals.
Lastly, the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments, is stamped in black ink.

The inside sentiment, from the Best Year stamp set, is stamped in Bermuda Bay ink.

Since I didn’t have an envelope to fit this size card and I plan on creating more cards this size, I created one. Here’s the template…

Cut the corners as shown
Fold the long sides over and glue and then fold the small piece (which will be the bottom) up and glue.
Embellish the front to coordinate with the card.

The tag would work well on a small gift bag or as a package topper. I think one of the best things about creating our own cards is the ability to coordinate other things like tags or 3D items.

Tag Details

- Cut a piece of Bermuda Bay card stock at 2″ x 4 1/4″.
- Create the label by using the Scalloped Tag Punch.
- Trim a piece of Oh So Ombre DSP at 2″ x 3 1/2″.
- Die cut a small circle in the DSP.
- Glue DSP to the tag.
- Trim the circle with a scalloped circle die.
- I cut thin strips of Whisper White and Bermuda Bay card stock and glued to the top and bottom of the tag.
- The rest of the tag is embellished much like card.

More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Mark your calendars for our next blog hop on April 14th when our theme is “Great Family Occasions” when our Design Team creates a project for any special occasion. Don’t miss the fun! Until then, please stay safe and have fun in your craft space.

Thanks for hopping with me today!

Take care,

Rosanne
