Spring Fever

in Cardmaking, Creativity on 01/22/18

Do you have the January Blues? Take out my amazing colour combo (Sahara Sand, Powder Pink, Old Olive)  paired with Stampin’Up!’s Southern Serenade Stamp Set and this will surely cheer you up! I love everything about this stamp set, from the lace, to the flowers and especially the beautiful greetings.  This set is so versatile and useful for any occasion.  It’s actually one of my favourite from the occasion catalogue!

Continuing the flower theme! I had to post a picture of my lovely flowers.  My husband Chris and I are celebrating our 3rd month Wedding Anniversary! Yes, we are never too old to get married… He’s my Rock, my Soulmate! He came home with beautiful blooms, while I was hosting my team meeting!  Some of the girls got a glimpse of him in his Uniform!  The colourful language that came out of their mouths….. The best part, is that after all this time, he still gives me the butterflies, especially in Uniform (wink)!

Back to card making,  check out the instructions below to make this beautiful card:

Make this card:

  • Cut a piece 4 1/4 x 11 inches of Powder Pink cardstock, score at 5 1/2.
  • Stamp the lace image in Powder Pink on the cut Powder Pink background cardstock.
  • Cut a piece 3 3/4 x 5 of Old Olive cardstock and adhere to the Powder Pink cardstock.
  • Cut a piece of  3 3/4 x 5 of Very Vanilla cardstock, stamp in Powder Pink the lace image in the middle of your cardstock and adhere to your card on a slant angle.
  • Stamp the flower image with Memento ink in Tuxedo black on a Very Vanilla cardstock. Color the image with Pink Pirouette and Old Olive Stampin’blends both in light and dark colours. Fussy cut the image with your paper snips.
  • Stamp the lace border in Sahara Sand on Very Vanilla cardstock and cut out the image.
  • Embellish with 3/8″Powder Pink Shimmer Ribbon, Very Vanilla 1/2″ Lace Trim, Linen Thread and Pearl Basic Jewels.
  • Use the Lovely Words Thinlits and run the word “Lovely” through the big shot in Old Olive cardstock.

Tips:

  • Stamp your greeting “Happy Birthday”  with Memento ink on a piece of 1 x 3 3/4 inches of Vellum and adhere to the card.
  • Ink up in Sahara Sand an aqua painter and tap on your Very Vanilla cardstock some ink specks.

    WOW!!! This card is gorgeous. I have been able to recreate the last 3 “GORGEOUS” posts because I have all of the supplies required. Your cards are absolutely stunning and I look forward to every post. I think I will recreate this card to reflect an invitation of some sort as well as a card that I will have on display at the vendor event I am participating in this weekend here in Long Island, NY. Thank you for sharing all of your beautiful projects, Kim.

Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I want Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I wanted to make my own DIY frame for a memory keeping of our trip to Banff Alberta! I designed my frame using the Country Woods Designer Series Paper and used @stampinupofficial ‘s Scenic Adventure Bundle and Weekend Adventures collection to embellish. I also made coordinating Polaroid note cards. 

I’m obsessed at making these little Polaroid note cards and will add a couple more to my collection.

A huge thank you to the Stampin’ Through the Cat A huge thank you to the Stampin’ Through the Catalog design team for inviting me to be one of this month’s guest designers! I was truly honored! 

I made a card using Stampin’ Up!’s Good Times Mix & Match Ephemera Pack and paired it with the Extraordinary Flora Bundle and its coordinating Washi Tape.

I went with a fresh, summery palette of Darling Duckling, Flirty Flamingo, Strawberry Slush, and Old Olive. 

Did you know @stampinupofficial is having a  Creative Challenge this month with fresh In Colors to mix with your go-to classics?  Well my card meets the challenge… 💛

What did I use to make this card?

Full details are provided on @stampinthroughthecatalog as well as how Melody, Cindy & Kaitlyn cased some elements and made their own card designs. I love how they explained in details what element inspired them from my card. Go check it out!
