SPLIT PANEL LAYOUT FOR CARDS IN A HURRY

Hi Stampers!

Today I am sharing a very basic card layout. It is perfect for double sided patterned paper, or for larger scraps of patterned paper. It is the perfect layout for when you need a card in a hurry!  All it takes is an A-2 card base, a 5 1/4”x 4” piece of double sided patterned paper, or one piece of patterned paper that is 4” wide  x 3 1/4” tall and one that is 4” wide x 2”tall, an inside panel, and a greeting. Of course you can add other elements to the card, keep it simple or jazz it up! You can change it up by switching the position of the two pieces of patterned paper. The layout can be oriented as portrait or landscape. This  is why I like basic layouts -use the layout, then make it uniquely yours! Let’s take a peek at the sample cards:

SENTIMENTAL VALUE - CREATING CARDS THAT FOCUS ON SENTIMENTS FEATURING SWEETLY SCRIPTED

Hi Stampers,

If you are new to stamping and have few supplies, or if you are on a budget (aren’t we all) and looking for ways to get more out of your crafting dollars; do I have a tip for you! Get sentimental! That’s right! Go on the search for a great sentiment stamp set or two. Sets can be geared toward one occasion such as birthdays or designed to be used for many different occasions. Some sets contain sentiments designed  to be used on the outside of a card that have a coordinating sentiment for the inside of the card. Sentiments can be paired with most any stamped image or stand alone on a card! Some of my favorite stamps sets are sentiment sets!

So, what are some ways to show off my sentiment stamps? I thought we would explore that today! Let’s take a look at the cards I created for today’s post. I used the Sweetly Scripted stamp set to create my sample cards:

A GO TO CARD LAYOUT FOR GREAT CARDS IN A SNAP!

Hi Stampers!

 When I need cards in a hurry, or when my creativity meter is low, I pull out my card layout notebook. It contains several card layouts that can be used with most stamp sets. Today I am sharing one of those card layouts.

Let’s take a look at the cards I made using the layout:

SUPPLIES & CUTTING DIMENSIONS FOR THE CARD

* Card base - 11” x 4 1/4” scored and folded at 5 1/2” or 8 1/2” x 5 1/2” scored and folded at 4 1/4”, and a piece of cardstock the same color as the base cut at 3 7/8” x 2 5/8”to mat focal panel.

* Basic White cardstock (or cardstock that contrasts with card base color) cut at  5 1/2” x 2 1/4” for mat, and a piece of. ASIC White cut at 3 3/4” x 2 1/2” to stamp focal image.

* Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut at 5 1/2” x 2”.

* Optional - Basic White cut at 5” x 3 3/4” for inside card.

*Now that you have the pieces for the card layout, choose an image to stamp and a greeting. 

* Select your ink colors.

* Decide on embellishment - yes or no, what ones? Ribbon? Gems? 

ASSEMBLY

* Stamp the image and sentiment on the focal panel. Adhere this to its mat. If you want to use ribbon on this panel add it now. 

* Adhere the DSP to its mat.  Place this piece on the card base about 1/4” from the left hand side of the card front. 

* Ahere the matted focal panel somewhere near the center about 1” from the left edge of the card. I used dimensionals to adhere the focal panel.

As I mentioned, use any images, greetings, inks, and paper you desire to create a terrific card using this layout. I have listed the supplies I used for my cards just in case you are wondering what I used.

SQUIRREL POOL PARTY

* Nuts About Squirrels stamp set (current mini catalog)

* Pool Party card base and mat for focal panel. 

* Basic White for focal panel and DSP mat.

* DSP - Pattern Party.

* Linen thread, 

* Dimensionals.

* Basic White for focal panel and to mat DSP.

* DSP from Pattern Party.

* Inks - Basic Gray, Crumb Cake, Old Olive. 

* Blushing Bride Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon.

* Dimensionals.

    

For the next two cards, the layout is the same, I just stamped the image on a separate piece of Basic White cardstock, die cut it with the Layering Circles Dies, matted that on another die cut from coordinating cardstock. I adhered this piece to the focal panel.

 GREEN TURTLE CARD

* Back On Your Feet stamp set (current annual catalog).

* Basic White for DSP mat, focal panel, and focal image.

SQUIRRELS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN: QUICK & EASY CARDS MADE WITH NUTS ABOUT SQUIRRELS STAMP SET

 Hi Stampers!

I have a fun stamp set to share today. It is called NUTS ABOUT SQUIRRELS! This stamp set is featured in the STAMPIN’ UP!®️ JULY-DECEMBER 2021 MINI CATALOG premiering 3 August 2021. Let’s take a look:

The stamp set is a Two-Step set, meaning there are outline images and what I call “filler” images. The filler images allow you to add color to images quickly and easily. Of course, if you decide to color the images with Stampin’ Blends, water coloring, etc., you can do that as well!  Although the stamp set hints of autumn, it can be used year round for many occasions!

Here are two cards I made using the stamp set:

These cards went together fairly quickly. I pulled the layering pieces from my bin of larger scraps of cardstock. I always look for opportunities to use scraps! I chose autumn colors for these cards.

HAND-PENNED PETALS - HOW DO I USE THIS DIE? (INTRICATE DETAIL DIES)

 Hi Stampers,

Today’s post will be dedicated to a type of die I don’t use often. I call them the INTRICATE DETAIL dies.  I have no clue what they are officially called, but to me intricate detail describes them perfectly. The type of die I am talking about is like this one from the PENNED FLOWERS DIES:

It is very pretty, and when I use it to die cut the image from cardstock, I like the result, but rarely do I actually do something with the die cut. They tend to be difficult to adhere (there are solutions for this problem), and I sometimes just am at a loss when it comes to incorporating them in a card design. So, today I decided it is time for me to overcome these challenges. I am sharing my results and a few tips.

First let’s take a look at the entire set of the PENNED FLOWERS DIES and the coordinating stamp set, HANDED- PENNED PETALS. These items are featured as a bundle and as part of a suite in the STAMPIN’ UP! 2021-2022 ANNUAL CATALOG which goes live one week from today (4 May 2021).

PENNED FLOWERS DIES & HAND-PENNED PETALS

(HAND-PENNED PETALS BUNDLE)

Here are the items I used from this bundle to create today’s cards. 

(The floral bouquet stamp image, the outline die, and the intricate detail die.)

Here are the cards.

For this card I used the outline die and the intricate detail die to create pieces for the card’s focal point.

SUPPLIES:

Card Base - Basic White cardstock 8 1/2” x 5 1/2” scored and folded at 4 1/4”

DSP - HAND-PENNED DSP (Blushing Bride)

Other Cardstock - Blushing Bride and Basic White

Ink - Versa Mark and White Embossing Powder

Other Dies - Layering Circle Dies and Stitched So Sweetly Dies

Adhesives - Dimensionals and Multi-purpose Glue

* The Happy Birthday greeting is from the PANSY PATCH stamp set.

Use the Versa Mark to stamp the greeting on Blushing Bride cardstock. Sprinkle the white 

I die cut the intricate detail image from Basic White cardstock, and used the multipurpose glue to adhere it to the Blushing Bride piece I cut with the outline die. When using multipurpose glue to adhere the intricate detail dies I look for the largest spaces on the die cut and apply the glue in those areas in a very thin line. To avoid too much using too much glue, I squeeze a bit of glue out on my silicone craft sheet or on a scrap of paper. Once the glue has started it is easier to control the amount that comes out as you apply it to the die cut. 

Die cut a Basic White circle using the largest of the Layering Circle Dies, and from a piece of Blushing Bride cardstock cut a scalloped circle using the largest scalloped die. Adhere the two circle die cuts together. Now adhere the floral piece to the circles. Adhere the DSP to the card base.Use dimensionals to attach the focal point and greeting to the card.

This card is similar to the card above, except it does not have the solid die cut image. The intricate detail die is adhered directly to the panel? I used the multipurpose glue for this die cut too. 

SUPPLIES:

Card Base - Garden Green 8 1/2” x 5 1/2” scored and folded at 4 1/4”

DSP - HAND-PENNED DSP (Garden Green)

Other Cardstock - Basic White 5 1/4” x 4”, Garden Green and Basic White for the focal point

Ink - Versa Mark and white embossing powder

Other Dies - Stitched So Sweetly

Adhesives - multipurpose glue, dimensionals

*The greeting is from the SWEET STRAWBERRY stamp set.

For the next card I stamped the floral image with Memento Tuxedo Black on Basic White cardstock, colored the image with Stampin’ Blends. I used the intricate detail die cut in Basic Black as an overlay for the floral image.

SUPPLIES:

Card Base - Basic White 8 1/2” x 5 1/2” scored and folded at 4 1/4”

DSP - Pattern Party - black& white check

Other Cardstock - Basic Black 5 1/2” x 3” plus  a piece for the die cut & Basic White for the floral image 

Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black, Stampin’ Blends of your choice for the flower image

Other - white crinkled seam binding ribbon -12-14 inches.

Adhesives - multipurpose glue and dimensionals

* The greeting is from HAND-PENNED PETALS

Stamp the greeting with the Tuxedo Black ink toward the lower right corner of the card base. Stamp the floral image on Basic White. Use Stampin’ Blends to color the image. Die cut the image and die cut the intricate detail image. Adhere the Basic Black overlay to the floral image. Adhere the checked DSP to the Basic Black mat. Tie the crinkled seam binding ribbon around the piece on the left side, and tie a bow. Trim the ends. Adhere the piece to the card base along the top of the card. Adhere the floral piece to the card with dimensionals.

This card was easy to make. It is just a Basic White intricate detail die cut colored with Stampin’ Blends.

SUPPLIES:

Card Base - Basic White (thick) 8 1/2” x 5 1/2” scored and folded at 4 1/4” and a piece for the die cut

Ink - Soft Succulent and Stampin’ Blends (or Stampin’ Write Markers).

Other: In Color Open Weave Ribbon in Soft Succulent - about 18” and Champagne Rhinestones

Adhesive: multipurpose glue

* The greeting is from the TIMELESS TULIPS stamp set

Stamp the greeting toward the bottom center of the card. Adhere the die cut to the card. Place the rhinestones in the centers of the flowers. Tie the ribbon around the card and make a bow. Trim the ends. The card is complete!

TIPS FOR ADHERING THE INTRICATE DETAIL DIES

1. Use the method I described above with the multipurpose glue.

2. Multipurpose glue and a sponge.

    Place the die cut face down on a silicone craft sheet (or a piece of wax paper or parchment paper). Put a 

    dab of the glue on the craft sheet. Dip a wedge of a craft sponge in the glue. Pounce the sponge gentle 

    over the back side of the die cut. * Stampin’ Up! discontinued the Stampin’ Sponges. A sponge

    dauber can be substituted. After use wash out as much of the glue as possible and let dry. I am not 

    sure how many uses you will get from the sponge dauber. I have used the same dauber twice, and it 

    appears I will get at least one more use from it.

3. Fine Tip Glue Pen - The tip on this glue is made for the intricate dies. The tip can become clogged if the 

    little pin inside the lid is not inserted into the tip of the bottle correctly when putting on the lid. I use it

    from time to time. 

4. Mini Glue Dots - Some of the intricate detail dies have areas where the mini glue dots will fit. 

    Sometimes I cut the glue dots in half, or use the paper piercing tip of the Take Your Pick Tool to

    roll the glue dot over on itself (sort of fold it in half), and place the glue dot on the die cut.

5. Adhesive Sheets - peel the backing off one side of a section of an adhesive sheet. Place a piece of 

    cardstock the same size as the adhesive sheet over the exposed adhesive. Place the die on top of

    the cardstock and run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (or other die cut machine).

    Peel the adhesive off the back dice of the die cut, and place it on the mat, card base, etc.

There are several other die sets in the new catalog that contain the intricate detail dies. One is the Sunflowers Dies which are found in the current Annual Catalog. The Brilliant Wings Dies, which are available now as a special promotion. 

Here is another look at the cards I created with the intricate detail die from the PENNED FLOWERS DIES:

That is it for today. Thank you for stopping by. Until next time...

Stamp Happy!
