On The Horizon Anniversary

I have seen a variety of cards similar to this on Pinterest, but no links to the actual creators, but I love it so much.

I had to dig through a variety of designer papers and dies to come up with what I was happy with for my card.

I purchased a TON of the SPLENDID AUTUMN 6x6 DSP and this particular print was challenging me, until I revisited this layout.

#1. This is a 5-1/4" square card so the front panel is 5" square.

#2. I used the very retired HEARTS COLLECTION dies to cut the heart out

#3. I stamped the Happy Anniversary using Early Espresso Ink from the (retired) stamp set ELEGANTLY SAID before I embossed it with the SUBTLE (retired) embossing folder

#4. I cut a fence from a wood grain DSP from the On The Horizon Dies as well as the grassy die which was cut from the Splendid Autumn DSP, making sure that I cut it carefully so that I had enough to  go behind the heart. The yellow(ish) floral sprig was also strategically cut from that same DSP while another sprig was cut from Brushed With Beauty DSP. The little flowers are also cut from that same DSP using the THOUGHTFUL MOMENTS Dies. I very carefully added some pearlized dots (trying to use up my retired products).

#5 this top piece was added to the base using Stampin' Dimensionals.

I am betting this will be a sell out at my Tuesday Class

Beautiful Motifs

I have been focusing so much on Easter cards lately that I am running short on everyday cards for my Tuesday Stampers.

The BEAUTIFUL GALLERY 6x6 Designer Paper has served me very well. The prints in this collection are stunning. I will admit that this particular print was not my favorite, however I loved that back side (which you can see on my envelope flap).

All that being said...I have used a ton of this print lately, and I love this card that was inspired by Erica Cerwin 

One thing that I forgot to do was to emboss the Very Vanilla piece that was cut from the TEXTURED NOTES Die.

The "floral" pieces were cut from Calypso Coral & Pecan Pie card stock using the BEAUTIFUL MOTIFS Dies

I chose a different sentiment and chose to use the birthday greeting from FRAMED ALL AROUND.

The elements (bling) are the PRESSED FLOWER MOTIFS

My card base is 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" scored at 4-1/4" of Secret Sea

The Cloud Cover layer is 4" x 5-1/4"

The Designer Paper layer measures 4-7/8" x 5-1/8"

Mixed Florals Easter Card

By now I should have enough Easter cards planned for my Tuesday stampers, but I am loving all of the options this year.

I found this card layout from Pinterest by Kathi Ondus. 

I didn't have any of the Country Lace Designer Paper left so did a little digging and came up with LOVELY BLOSSOMS. I also pulled out a retired stamp set called CELEBRATING YOU for the "Happy Easter" greeting, and die cut out with am Mixed Labels Die.

The flowers from MIXED FLORALS were stamped with Black ink and colored in with Flirty Flamingo (combo), Mossy Meadow (dark), Granny Apple Green (Dark) and Daffodil Delight (dark).

This is considered a EASY CENTER STEP FUN FOLD CARD

Measurements:

Mossy Meadow

4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2" (large card base)

3 7/8" x 5 1/8" (large matte)

2 3/8" x 3 7/8' (small mattes) (2)

Basic Beige

4" x 10 1/4" scored at 2 1/2' and 5" (small card base)

Basic White

4" x 5 1/4" (inside layer)

4" x 5" (stamping/die cutting)

scrap (for sentiment)

Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper

Blessed Beginnings

A fun fold that lends itself to using two different prints on the front of your card. The sample that I cased added some Secret Sea Open Weave Ribbon, but I am not fond of cards that require me to untie something to open it up.

The Designer Paper used on this card is called LOVELY BLOSSOMS

Start by scoring a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ Cloud Cover card base at 2-3/4″ and again at 7″. 

Add a layer of Secret Sea 5-1/4" x 2-1/2" (left) and 5-1/4" x 1-1/2"

The designer Paper layers are: 5-1/8" x 2-3/8" and 5-1/8" x 1-3/8" 

The EVERYDAY ARCHES Dies used are the 3rd from largest in Secret Sea and 4th from largest in Basic White.

The White arch was sponged with Crumb Cake and Cloud Cover.

Stamp Set: Blessed Beginnings - The church, tree and 2 bushes were stamped with Black ink and colored in with Light and Dark Crumb Cake, Cloud Cover, Lemon Lolly and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I added two Cloud Cover dots from the 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls to finish the card.

This card was inspired by Amy Koenders

He Is Not Here; He Has Risen

As I was pulling out my Easter Cards that I had left over from last year I had one of these cross cards. I have shared with you 2 other varieties of cross cards but I think that this one is my favorite. I like that it is on a standard card base, yet lays flat to fit in your mailing envelope.

I needed some Easter cards with more of a masculine feel so wanted to revamp this card using products that I have on hand.

I'm not sure how many Easter cards that you send out, but I send out a bunch - especially to the widows/widowers, and shut-ins (anyone on the prayer list) at church. 

We attend a large church so I get to bless many with beautiful hand stamped cards.

I pulled out my Neutrals 6x6 Designer Paper Pack to see how many sheets that I had available in Crumb Cake color that would fit this card.

There are two patterns that I thought would fit it just fine. And instead of adding a daffodil flower like in the first photo, I chose the greenery image from HOLD ON TO HOPE. (retired). The words come from EASTER MESSAGE (also retired)

The wood grain designer paper is from COUNTRY WOODS.

MEASUREMENTS:

Crumb Cake 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" scored at 4-1/4"

Basic White 5” x 5-1/4”

Score on the 5” side at 1-3/8”, 1-7/8”, 3-1/8”, 3-5/8”, 

DSP: 5” x 1-1/4” (x2) sides

DSP for cross: 5” x 1-1/8” & 3” x 1-1/8”

White 3-1/8” x 1-1/4”

Basic White for the inside 5-1/4" x 5"

HAPPY Spring!

HAPPY Spring is right! I cannot wait for the official first day of Spring on March 21st

Back to a cute Easter Bunny card.

This card was inspired by Kelly Acheson

Dimensions:

• Basic White Thick – 11″ x 4 1/4″ scored at 5 1/2″
• Basic White – 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″, 1/2″ x 3 1/2″, scrap
• Easter Joy Specialty DSP – 2″ x 5 1/8″
• Pretty In Pink – 2 1/8″ x 5 1/2″, 4″ x 5 1/4″, 5/8″ x 3 5/8″

I colored in the bunny with light Crumb Cake Stampin' Blend, and the carrot with a dark Peach Pie

Super cute and super easy to make. I love the Balmy Blue gingham ribbon

To create the "Happy Spring" sentiment I inked up just the "Happy" from one stamp and just the "Spring" from another stamp.  This is so easy to do especially now that all our stamps are sold in Photopolymer.
