Blessings and Prosperity

 

Hi Friends!

This week at the Stamp Simply blog, the Stamp Simply Design Team have been sharing their choice of a variety of card styles and images. 

If you have not had a chance to check out my Sister DT cards yet, I hope you will do so- gorgeous inspiration from all!

I love vintage style cards and especially Graphic 45 papers!  I am sharing a very easy  card using the Fruit of the Spirit stamp set  along with the Graphic 45 Fruit & Flora 8x8 paper pad along with other lace, ribbon and accessories.

This card was fairly quick to create:

Trim the Graphic 45 Fruit & Flora 8x8 paper for the background and adhere to purple cardstock.

Add the deep purple designer paper along with the flat peach lace and purple seam binding (wrapping the ends of the ribbon behind the panel).

Mount the entire background panel onto a white card base.

Adhere the cut-a-part with the peach image onto purple cardstock and adhere to the card front with dimensional foam.

De-static another piece of the Graphic 45 designer paper with an embossing powder tool, ink the verse sentiment from Fruit of the Spirit with Versafine Black Onyx ink, stamp onto the prepared paper, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.   

Mount the embossed sentiment onto a piece of purple cardstock and add the photo corners (I cut these by hand from small squares of purple cardstock).

Add the sentiment to the card front with dimensional foam and adhere a few pearls to finish off the card.

As many of you who follow my blog know, I enjoy playing along with online challenges and am linking my card to the A Place to Start July 2023 Anything Goes Challenge.

Hi Friends!

This week at the Stamp Simply blog, the Stamp Simply Design Team have been sharing floral cards.  If you have not had a chance to check out their cards, I hope you will do so- gorgeous inspiration from all!

I decided to create a floral fruit card using stamps, paper and supplies all from Stamp Simply!  Plus, both the stamp set and paper used on this card are currently on sale for 35% off!

This card was quick and easy- trim the piece of the Graphic 45 Fruit & Flora 8x8 paper to approx. 4” x 5 ¼”, distress the edges and adhere to a piece of eggplant cardstock.

Add the dark purple layer of the Fruit & Flora paper to the front, distressing the edges and adhere the lace.

Using one of the cut-a-parts from the Graphic 45 paper, de-static with an embossing powder tool, ink the sentiment from the Fruit of the Spirit stamp set using Versafine Onyx Black, stamp onto prepared panel, add clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Adhere to a piece of eggplant cardstock and mount onto the card front with dimensional foam.

Add a few pearls to finish off the card.

As many of you who follow my blog know, I enjoy playing along with online challenges and am linking my card to the Simon Wednesday “Anything Goes” Challenge  and the Double D Color Challenge (purple and yellow).

Easel Card Note Holder with Matching Journaling Tag

Hi Friends!

This week at Stamp Simply, we are celebrating a Week of Gifting with gift tags, packaging, gift ideas, etc.  

I decided to combine the gift packaging with part of the gift by designing an easel card note holder, homemade gift bag and a matching gift journal tag using stamps, dies, paper and other supplies from Stamp Simply!

Gift in Envelope with Journaling Tag

I absolutely love Graphic 45 papers and this beautiful collection, Fruit & Flora is perfect for cards, tags and projects all year round.

I saw this idea from the Graphic 45 Easel Note Card Holder video  and used the Splitcoaststamper easel card tutorial and modified it a bit for my project. 

I created the envelope from 8 ½” x 11” Kraft cardstock (60 lb weight) by measuring the finished folded easel card with the note pad included, added a gusset on each side and bottom, and finished off the front with a piece of the Graphic 45 Fruit & Flora paper.

The folded easel card fits into the handmade envelope (gently to not crease the lace).

The matching journal tag was created with the Tim Holtz Tag Collection dies , is blank on the back for journaling and helps to close the envelope with the purple seam binding.

I absolutely love the laces at Stamp Simply and used the gorgeous 1.75” Gabriella lace on the easel card along with the ¾” Lucia lace at the bottom of the journaling tag.

The sage green twill ribbon on the easel portion of the card was a perfect match to that beautiful Fruit & Flora Graphic 45 paper as well covering the edge of the lace.

Easel Note Card Holder- open

Both of the verse sentiments are from the new stamp set, Autumn Silhouettes and were heat embossed onto vanilla cardstock before die cutting with the Farmhouse Sentiment Banner Dies.

The easel card was finished off with a few pearls on the easel portion as well as the cover of the sticky note portion.

I enjoy participating with online challenges and will be linking this project to the Word Art Wednesday #567-#568 Anything Goes Challenge.
