 Hello and welcome back to my blog.  Today's project is a #CreativeChallengeSU card.  The challenge is to mash together products and/or suites that were not meant to go together and make something with them.  I decided to mash up Sunshine Vibes from the 2025-2027 Annual Catalog with Charming Day from the July 2025 Online Exclusives release.  I love how this card came together.  It also fits the challenge for the Global Design Project weekly challenge.  #GDP 505 challenge is a color challenge using Pretty Peacock, Old Olive and Strawberry Slush.  You can watch my video tutorial over on my YouTube channel to see how to make this one.  I hope you will give it a try.

Daffodil Daydream Medley of Cards

 During my FB Live Tuesday, I made several cards and showed how to use the Daffodil Daydream bundle of products by Stampin' Up! along with the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper (DSP) which you can earn for free with a qualifying purchase through the end of February 2022.  You can watch the live replay on my YouTube page here: https://youtu.be/5SRsVDEiEAY 

This is one of the cards we made.  It is a simple card with a big impact, I think.  

Measurements: A2 card base in Daffodil Delight, Daffodil Afternoon DSP 4 x 5 1/4", Flirty Flamingo focal layer 3 1/8 x 4 1/8" and Shimmery White cardstock for the focal image 3 x 4".  Stampin' Blends markers for coloring in Daffodil Delight and Evening Evergreen.  White baker's twine colored with the dark Flirty Flamingo blend.  

Inside layer is Basic White cardstock cut at 3 5/8 x 4 7/8".  This is the layer I use for the inside of my cards most often as I can get five of them from one sheet of cardstock.  The sentiment comes from A Wish for Everything.  It can be found in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog and has coordinating dies called Word Wishes dies which cover most holidays.  Be sure to check those out!  

Supplies and measurements:  A2 card base in Mint Macaron, Daffodil Afternoon DSP 4 x 5 1/4", Encircled in Beauty die cut in Flirty Flamingo, largest Layering Circle die in Basic White using a partial die cut technique. (see video for how to)  Stampin' Blends in Mossy Meadow, Flirty Flamingo and Daffodil Delight.  Wink of Stella pen on flower centers.  Bumble Trinkets and Crinkled Seam Binding ribbon.  The thanks is cut from Basic black using the Well Written dies (retired), but you could use the Amazing Thanks dies which are current and in my online store.  I cut three out and layered them on top of each other using our adhesive sheets on the back of the black cardstock prior to die cutting.

For my final card today, I started with an A2 card base in Mint Macaron, then added a Daffodil Afternoon base layer 4 x 5 1/4".   Using the Stitched Rectangles dies, I cut the rectangle which is approximately 2 1/4 x 3 1/2" in Basic White.  Sentiments are from Special Moments and stamped in Momento Tuxedo black ink.  I cut the largest oval from the Beautiful Shapes dies in Pale Papaya and layered on the rectangle.  The darling kangaroo is from Count on Me.  I colored her using the newly released Natural Tones Collection of Stampin' Blends Markers in SU 400 and SU 1000.  The flower she's holding is colored with Pale Papaya and Mossy Meadow. 

For the inside of the card I used the stitched rectangle die which is closest to 3 5/8 x 4 

7/8".  I stamped the bear from Count on Me and colored it with SU 300.  I just love the new options available in the Natural Tones collection of markers!  The heart is colored with Flirty Flamingo and her clothes were paper pieced using the Daffodil Afternoon DSP.  I show how I did this in the video.  

Well, that's all for me today.  Thanks for stopping by!  To place an order, click on the shopping cart in the upper right corner.  I'd love to earn your business!  Please leave a comment, I'd love to hear from you.

Warm winter wishes with Snowbody Better

 Here it is Saturday already!  I have another project for you today I made during my weekly Tuesday night live over on Facebook.  I would love it if you followed me there.  I usually make two projects every Tuesday evening live at 7:45 pm PDT.  You can always watch the replay over on my YouTube page at Teresa Harper kntdesignsbyTeresa.  

I started this project by stamping and coloring the snowman image in Momento Tuxedo black ink as I colored with Stampin’ Blends markers which are alcohol based.  I then fussy cut out the image with my paper snips.  I die cut a piece of basic white cardstock using the second largest Scalloped Contour die.  To this I stamped the snowflake image from Welcoming Woods stamp set in Versamark ink randomly on the top 2/3 of the die cut, added white embossing powder and heat set the powder.  Next, I used a blending brush and Misty Moonlight ink to add a little color to the “sky”.  I then began building my card layers.  To the Night of Navy cardbase, I added a piece of Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper, then added my scalloped die cut.  The snowmen were then added to the scalloped die cut using Stampin’ Dimensionals to give added depth.  The sentiment piece is stamped in Night of Navy ink on Misty Moonlight cardstock, then clear embossing powder was immediately added and heat set.  It must be done very fast as our classic ink dries quickly so you need to have all your supplies open and ready to go.). The sentiment was then cut out with a die from Beautiful Trees dies.  Finally, I added some white gems from Elegent Gems.   

Supplies used:

Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper 4 x 5 1/4”

Night of Navy cardstock 5 1/2 x 8 1/2”

Basic White Cardstock, half sheet for stamping and die cutting 

Misty Moonlight cardstock scrap for sentiment

Stampin’ Blends in Misty Moonlight light, Balmy Blue light, Flirty Flamingo, Fresh Freesia, Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent

Blending Brush

ink pads in Momento Tuxedo black, Versamark clear and Night of Navy

White and clear embossing powders

Scalloped Contour Dies

Unique Lovely Lily Pad card

Today’s project was inspired by a video I watched (sorry, I can’t remember who).  It features the Sale-a-Bration free stamp set called Lovely Lily Pad (152288).  It can’t be purchased, but can only be earned for free with a $50 purchase.  In any case, she took the medium lily and stamped it in multiple directions to make a new unique flower.  I loved how it turned out and immediately had to try it out.  This card is the result.  I first diecut a piece of whisper white card stock using the Stitched So Sweetly dies (151690).  I then stamped the medium lily using Memento Tuxedo Black ink (north), then flipped the stamp upside down (south) and lined it up so the bottom was touching the bottom of the previously stamped image.  Next, I stamped the image on a piece of sticky note paper with two thicknesses, then fussy cut it out just inside the outline to form a mask.  I used these masks to place over the two images I stamped on my cardstock.  I then stamped the lily two more times in the openings to the east and west of the masks.  You will have stamped the image four times (north, south, east and west) to form the new flower image.  Very clever right?  I then repeated this process randomly to fill my diecut.  Using my stamping blends, I then colored the images.  The ink pads in the second photo are the colors of blends I used.  I mounted my focal image on a piece of basic black cardstock.  I cut a layer of Follow your Art Designer Series Paper (149489) for the base layer and tied a piece of the Polka Dot Tulle ribbon (146912) around the piece before mounting it to an A2 size card base in basic black.  I left it without a sentiment so I can add it later and use for any occasion.  This card is perfect for a birthday, anniversary, wedding, just because and even sympathy.

Stampin’ blends Used:  Lovely Lipstick light 147026, Rococo Rose combo 149572, Pineapple Punch combo 147280 and Mango Melody dark 147944.

I hope I’ve inspired you today to create something of your own.  Thank you for taking time from your busy day to stop by my blog.  Should you wish to purchase any of the supplies I’ve used, please click on the shopping card to the right.  It will take you directly to my online store where you can shop 24/7 for all your supplies.  Remember, through March 31, 2020 it is Sale-a-Bration where you can earn a free item with every $50 increment you spend.  I would love to earn your business.

Until next time, make it a great day and happy stamping.

You're Inspiring Mother's Day card

I made two of these cards for my mom and mother-in-law for Mother's Day this year.   The card base is from the Tutti Frutti cards and envelopes which were part of the 2018 SAB promotion which has since ended.  This card features the hinge step stamping technique technique utilizing the Stamperatus  which can be seen here.  This awesome new tool will be available in the 2018-2019 annual catalog and is an amazing new stamp positioning tool.   The sentiment is from Blossoming Basket which is no longer available; however, you could use any sentiment you already have on hand.  The daffodils are from a stamp set called You're Inspiring 145808 and are colored using our new Stampin' Blends alcohol markers.  I used light and dark Daffodil Delight 144603 and light and dark Old Olive 144597 as well as a touch of light Pumpkin Pie 144599.   The sentiment is stamped in Pool Party ink 126982 on Whisper White cardstock 100730.

Isn't that ribbon lovely?  It's the 1/4" Whisper White organza ribbon 145590 colored with a light Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blend marker.  You can color any whisper white ribbon with Stampin' Blends markers quickly and easily.  I love having the versatility of that!

I hope you were inspired by my project today.  Please leave me a comment.  If you would like to purchase any of the items used today, please visit my online store by clicking on the shopping basket.  I would love to earn your business.  Thanks for stopping by. 

Blossoming Basket Bundle birthday card

Today is my mom's birthday.  Happy Birthday mom!  This card it for you.  It uses the Blossoming Basket bundle which was available for free during the 2018 Sale-A-Bration(SAB) promotion which has now ended.  Although the stamp set is no longer available, the Basket Weave Dynamic embossing folder will be available for sale when the 2018-2019 annual catalog begins in June.  The card base was another offering during SAB.  The roses are colored with our Stampin' Blends markets in light and dark Pink Piroutte 144604, along with light Rich Razzleberry 144584 and light and dark Daffodil Delight 144603.  Greenery is colored with light and dark Old Olive 144597 and light Daffodil Delight.  The butterflies are colored with Daffodil Delight and light Calypso Coral 144042.  I used light and dark Crumb Cake 144601 on the basket. 

did you notice the stitched rectangle?  I used the Stitched Shapes framelits 145372 to make the rectangle using a stitched square.  You can stretch the square to make a rectangle by placing the edge of your top acrylic plate before the end of the square so it won't cut the one edge.  Then rotate your paper and cut again doing the same thing.  This will avoid cutting one edge and allows you to cut a rectangle instead of a square.  I did the same thing with the scallop rectangle.  It comes from the Layer Squares framelits 141708 and is cut in Pink Piroutte cardstock 111351.  I fussy cut out the basket.  I then stamped and colored the roses a second time and fussy cut those out so I could pop them up with Stampin' Dimensionals 104430 for some dimension in my basket.  I know my mom will love this card.
