(New Post) Easy Belly Band Card

 Belly Band Card with Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper

I made this very simple card fold with a belly band using the gorgeous Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper. This paper is one of the free offering from Stampin' Up! during Sale-a-bration 2023! Our Sale-A-Bration promotion is over on February 28, 2023. You don't want to miss out on earning FREE products!! 

Shop here with me. I appreciate all orders. 

Directions for todays card:

I started with a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of Starry Sky Card Stock for the card base. Score at 1 1/2" and 5 3/4". This makes a bit of a different fold for the base. 

Cut some Pool Party Card Stock to 1 1/4" x 5 1/4" and another piece at 2 1/2" x 5 1/4". Attach these layers to the card base.

Cut the Dainty Flowers DSP to 1" x 5" and 2 1/4" x 5". Attach to the Pool Party layers. *Tip: when cutting the DSP make sure your pattern is running in the correct position. We don't want sideways flowers! Been there and done that! lol

Cut a piece of Pool Party C/S to 1" x 9 1/4". Wrap around the card base, not too tight, starting and ending in the front. I do this so that the seam will be covered. Once you have wrapped the belly band around the card, remove it and burnish the score lines well. Wrap around again and glue the end of the band to form the belly band. Make sure not to get glue on the card base. You want the belly band to be easily slipped off and on.

Cut a piece of the Textured Shimmer Paper to 4 1/4" x 7/8" and attach to the front of the belly band. This paper adds such a nice sparkle and texture!!

Die cut a tag from the Sentimental Park Dies in Basic White C/S. These tags are so intricate and dainty!

Stamp the flowers onto the tag using the floral image from the Sentimental Park Stamp Set. I used 2nd generation Pool Party Ink to stamp the flowers. What does second generation mean? It means I inked up the stamp with the Pool Party Ink, then I stamp off one time onto scrap paper, then stamp onto the label. This creates a lighter ink tone. 

Stamp the sentiment in Memento Black Ink using the Dainty Delight Stamp Set over top of the flowers.

Attach the label to the belly band using Dimensionals.

Die cut some tiny flowers from the Sentimental Dies using Starry Sky C/S. I used 1 big flower and 2 small flowers. Attach them to the label on the bottom left using tiny dots of Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue. 

Add some Rhinestones to the flowers.

For the inside I cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 4" x 5 1/4" and I stamped a floral image from the Dainty Delight Stamp Set using Starry Sky Ink. 

Give this card style a try for yourself!                                      Happy Stamping and Creating!

(New Post) Scenic Garden Card

 Scenic Garden Let's Celebrate Card

I just had to use this beautiful stamp set, Scenic Garden again. In an earlier post I made these cards here. I wanted to show you how versatile this set is. This set can be earned for free during Sale-A-Bration 2023 with a qualifying order! Contact me for more details.

Directions:

Cut a card base of Pear Pizzazz Card Stock to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 4 1/4".

Cut an art layer of Basic White C/S to 4 3/4" x 3 1/2". 

Using the Stampin' Up! Blending Brushes add some Pear Pizzazz Ink to the lower left corner of art panel. I wanted a very soft look so I made sure to remove lots of the ink onto scrap paper before adding the ink to the panel. Do the same with Balmy Blue Ink, adding it to the top left of the panel. 

Splatter some Wink Of Stella onto this panel.

Stamp the bench and the sentiment using Memento Black Ink.

Cut a 5" x 3 3/4" piece of Basic Black C/S and attach the art panel to this layer. 

Cut some 1/2" strips of Basic Black C/S and attach to 2 opposite corners of the panel. See photos for placement. Snip off excess so it is even with the Basic Black panel.

Attach this panel to the card base.

Take a 5" piece of the Metallic Mesh Ribbon and cut it into 3 lengthwise strips. (I wanted a daintier piece of this ribbon), tie it into a knot and attach to the card using a Glue Dot.

Tie a bow using the Black And White Gingham Ribbon and attach with a Glue Dot just above the Metallic Mesh Ribbon. 

If you don't enjoy colouring in an image then this is a great card technique for you. 

With a different sentiment I think this would make a beautiful sympathy card. 

I hope you have liked todays card! 

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Adorable Owl Baby Cards!

Adorable Owl Baby Cards!

I have just recently realized that many of you have not been receiving my Blog Post updates. I apologize for this technical glitch and I hope I have corrected it! Some of you might need to re-subscribe. Please do let me know if you are receiving my posts and if you have any questions or feedback I would love to hear from you! 

Now, onto the cards!

I had so much fun designing these baby cards using the Adorable Owls Stamp Set. It is one of the free offerings from Sale-a-bration 2023.

I made one for a baby girl and one for a baby boy. The Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper did all the work! The Dandy Designs DSP is also a free offering during Sale-a-bration 2023! I have used this DSP so many times! A favourite for sure!

Directions:

Cut a card base using Balmy Blue or Petal Pink Card Stock. One of my bases was 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and the other was 4 1/4" x 11", scored in half.

Cut a Basic White C/S layer to 4" x 5 1/4".

Cut 3 pieces of Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper to 3 3/4" x 1 5/8" and attach to the Basic White layer. 

Die cut a Basic White C/S tag and sentiment tag using the Something Fancy Dies.

Stamp the sentiment from Sentimental Park onto the tag using Memento Black Ink. Also stamp the "your new baby" onto a thin strip of Basic White C/S.

Stamp the owl onto the tag using Memento Black Ink. Colour with Stampin' Blends.

Tie a ribbon around the panel or layer some ribbon back and forth.

Attach the tag with the owl over the ribbon using Dimensionals.

Attach the larger sentiment using Dimensionals and the smaller one using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

I also stamped the bow of the owl again onto scrap paper, coloured it with Blends and cut it out and attached it to each owl using Mini Dimensionals. I love the hair bow on the pink owl card!

I also stamped a flower from Sentimental Park and coloured it using Blends for the pink card.

I added a Opal Rounds to each card to finish them off. 

I hope you like todays cards! I would love to hear from you, leave me a comment!

Happy Stamping and Creating!
