Forever Fern Sympathy Card

The new stamp set from Stampin'UP!, Forever Fern, is quickly becoming one of my new favorite from the new annual catalog! I used the Forever Greenery Collection Suite, which includes everything that was needed to make the basic card. The sentiment is from Kindness & Compassion, which has sadly retired. The die cut I used is also retired and is from the Sending Flowers die set. But most sentiment and die cuts you may have can certainly be used to create this card.

Outside Layers measurements:

5 1/2" x 8 1/2 " pear Pizzazz card stock, scored at 4 1/4"

4 1/8" x 5 3/8" Whisper White cardstock

4" x 5 1/4" Forever Greenery DSP

1 of the laser cut panels from the Forever Gold Laser Speciality Paper

4 1/4" x 2 3/4" Whisper White cardstock embossed with Greenery Emboss Folder

Inside Layer:

5 1/4" x 4" Whisper White Cardstock

2 die cuts from Forever Flourishing Dies in Pear Pizzazz and Shaded Spruce Cardstock

I hope you have enjoyed this card, I know I did!

Ornate Garden Birthday Card

Using the new DSP from Stampin' Up!, Ornate Garden and the coordinating embossing folder, available June 3, 2020, make for beautiful cards, like this one here I used for a birthday card.

Using the medium daisy punch and the leave punch, which unfornatately is no longer available, but any sort of leave punch or die would certainly work, make for quick flowers, by punching out two daisies and a center using the 1/2" circle punch, which is retiring and still available at the time of this blog post.

Here are some quick card details so you can make some for yourself.

Card Base-5.5" x 8.5" scored at 4.25"

Embossed layer- 5.25" x 4"

DSP- 2" x 5.25"

Stitched Circle to fit your sentiment of your choosing, I used one from Peaceful Moments stamp set.

Layered Circle Die to use as a border around stitched shape.

And dimensionals to pop up the sentiment

Here are a few more cards I did using different varieties of the Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper.

Use some of the DSP to make a matching enevolope!

On this one, I matted Terracotta cardstock behind the DSP.

Until next time,

Hey....So Hoppy Card

Hello everyone from the frozen tundra, Iowa!

The view from my craft room window, beautiful from the inside!

Ok, so today I made this card inspired by Linda Bedinger from YouTube. I thought it was so cute and I decided to case her card with my take on it.

Here are the general supplies and directions.

Supplies I used:

8.5" by 11" Whisper White Cardstock, cut to 5.5" and score at 4.25", folded

5.25" by 4" Piece of Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock

Rectangle Stitched Dies

5.25" by 1" of Gingham Gala DSP

Memento Ink, Black

Dimensionals

Blendable markers, Dark and Light Granny Apple, Dark Daffodil Delight, Light Balmy Blue, Dark Crumb Cake, Dark and Light Smokey Slate.

5mm. Wiggle Eyes from your local craft store.

Stamp Sets- So Hoppy Together and Amazing Life

Directions:

After you have folded your base, take your Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock and die cut with the rectangle dies, I used the largest one from the smaller collection of dies on whisper white and the one all by itself that measures 1.78" by 1.38" for the Lemon Lime Twist.

Next, stamp your frog images onto a piece of scrap Whisper White and on the Stitched Rectangle piece.

Color in with your blendable markers.

After you are finished with your coloring, fussy cut the two frogs out from the scrap piece.

Stamp "Hey" on a 1/2" strip of Whisper White 3 times and cut into little banners.

Before you adhere the cardstock to the front of the card, position the frogs to see how you want them to peek out the windows and add a dimensional to the back of one frog and adhere it to the base card for the bottom window, then adhere your cardstock piece and add the other frog into the top window with dimensionals.

Add the banners, I added a color one, your choice of preference. Now, add your wiggle eggs to the frogs, so cute!

I added an inside sentiment from the Amazing Life stamp set.

This card is for my granddaughter for her continued success in archery. I'm off to make another one for my grandson, he is doing well in archery as well!

I hope you enjoyed my card and I would love to see your cards that you create with this fun stamp set, So Hoppy Together.
