more color mondays – old olive, pool party and daffodil delight

by nataliegramleystamps | Mar 17, 2025 | card samples, color challenge, Designer Series Paper, more color mondays, specialty papers, stamps ink paper, techniques

I do love flowers as some of you already know! So it is a dilemma when you are attracted to all of the pretty floral stamp sets – so what is a girl to do? Well I cannot buy it all SO I bought just the pretty papers from this beautiful Floral Delight Suite Collection and paired it with a sentiment I already owned from then Mixed Labels bundle.

This gorgeous suite comes with two packages of beautiful paper: a vellum specialty pack with three designs of blue gingham, and blue, yellow and white flowers with old olive leaf accents, and a 12 sheet pack of lovely 12″ x 12″ DSP full of floral and patterned papers.

This is a very simple card using the paper to make this card pop! I choose the colors from the suite as the inspiration for today’s color challenge!

Measurements:
BASE: Daffodil Delight CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Timeless Plaid DSP: 4″ x 5 1/4″
Floral Delight DSP: scrap for flower cut out
3″ x 5 1/4″
Pool Party CS: scrap for die cut
Basic White CS: scraps for 2 die cuts
Floral and Gingham Vellum: scraps for 2 dies

I choose coordinating patterns and cut different circle dies from the Spotlight on Nature dies and die cut different sized circles from two different patterns of the Floral and Gingham vellum pack. I cut the same circle die from the gingham patterned die cut in Basic White so I could layer them together to make that die more vibrant with the white paper backing.
I cut Pool Party CS with a Stylish Shapes circle die and I fussy cut a flower from the Floral Delight DSP pack.

I layered the 3″ DSP vellum over the Timeless Plaid 4″ layer and added adhesive only in the middle where I knew the circle dies would cover the adhesive.

After all of the pieces are cut play around with the arrangement of the circles and the fussy cut flower until the arrangement is pleasing to the eye. Then adhere the pieces over the Timeless plaid and vellum layer. I trimmed off the vellum circle that went over the side of that layer but allowed the white circle die to hang over the edge to give the layer some depth and dimension and interest!
I then adhered the layer to the card base.
I stamped the sentiment from the Mixed labels stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.
I popped up the sentiment piece with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added Rhinestone Basic Jewels around the sentiment and fussy cut flower and the card was complete!

Try using some of the random pretty Designer Series Paper that you have lying around to create some artwork of your very own. Die cut or chop it and use it on your next card creation!
Now go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

spring corners card

by nataliegramleystamps | Mar 12, 2025 | card samples, die cutting, online exclusives, stamps ink paper, techniques

This simply stamped card uses the new Online Exclusives set Spring Corners.

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS: 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 5 1/2″
3 3/4″ x 5″
Daffodil Delight CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″

Die cut the daisy corner die from the Spring Corners bundle in the left-hand corner.

Stamp the corner sentiment in the opposite corner.

Adhere the Daffodil Delight layer to the card base.
Adhere the die cut layer over the Daffodil Delight CS layer.

Blend Daffodil Delight ink on the smaller die cut layer.
Tap water droplets from a Water Painter against a bone folder creating water splatters.
The water smeared the word day so I stamped that word again and I popped up the word over the original to emphasize it and add some additional depth and dimension to the card.

Adhere Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems around the sentiment and this simple corner card is finished.
Such a fun stamping around the corners of the card piece of art!

more color mondays – flirty flamingo, daffodil delight and balmy blue swap card

by nataliegramleystamps | Mar 10, 2025 | card samples, card swap, color challenge, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, embossing folders, fun fold, my favorites, online exclusives, techniques

Today’s More Color Monday Color Challenge was all about my Fun Fold Swap for the SOLD OUT OnStage 2025 Stampin’ Up! Event starting this coming week in Raleigh, North Carolina. On March 13th lucky demonstrators that registered in the first 6 hours that the event registration was open will be gathering in Raleigh, Strasbourg, France and Brisbane, Australia. I sadly will not be among them this year as I got shut out but a friend and fellow demonstrator that is hosting a large scale swap allowed me to remain on the list so I will have some fun elite OnStage Swaps to share as soon as they return home and he mails them out – stay tuned!

This is the card I submitted to the Fun Fold card swap!

Measurements:
BASE #1: Basic Black CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 2 1/8″ and 4 1/4″
BASE #2: Basic Black CS: 3 1/2″ x 7″
scored at 3 1/2″ and 5 5/8″
scrap for die
Mixed Media DSP: (2) 1 7/8″ x 5 1/4″
Beautiful Bokeh DSP: 4″ x 5 1/4″
Basic White CS: 3 3/8″ x 3 3/8″
2″ x 3 3/8″
1″ x 3 3/8″
scrap for the sentiment die
4″ x 5 1/4″ for the Mixed Florals stamp/die cut
4″ x 5 1/4″ for the back-side of the card

Score the larger Basic Black BASE #1 at 2 1/2″ and 4 1/4″.
Adhere the 1 7/8″ strips of Mixed Media DSP to the first and second panels of BASE #1.
Adhere the 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Beautiful Bokeh DSP to the third panel of BASE #1.

Stamp the tulip image from the Mixed Florals stamp set on one of the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layers.
Color the smaller flower petals in Light Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends markers.

Color the lower half of the smaller blooms in Dark Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends and then go over the entire petal to blend the colors with the Light Marker one last time.

Color the tulip petals with the Light Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends marker.

Color the lower half and the highlight marks of the tulip blooms with the Dark Flirty Flamingo marker and then color the entire tulip petal surface with the Light marker to blend the flower petal.

Color the leaves with Soft Sea Foam Light marker.

Highlight with the Dark marker and then blend with the Light marker to finish the leaves.

Die cut the floral image out with the corresponding die.

I cut the flower image in two pieces.

I initially took the first and third Basic White layers the 3 3/8″ square (1st panel) and the 1″ (for the third panel) and embossed them with the Beautiful Butterflies embossing folder I later decided to use the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder – because I liked the smaller pattern for this card!

I stamped the inside sentiment onto the 2″ layer and adhered all three layers to the smaller Z fold BASE #2.

I die cut the rectangular die shape from the Mixed labels die set in Basic Black cardstock and adhered it to the lower portion of the first panel.

I stamped the outside sentiment and die cut from the Mixed Labels bundle and burnished the edges with Flirty Flamingo ink and adhered it above the black die on the first panel.

I folded the smaller z fold closed and added Stampin’ Seal + to the exposed edge of the back of the first panel and adhered it to the middle of the larger BASE #1 first panel.

Then I closed the smaller Z fold and placed Stampin’ Seal + to the back of the third panel and closed the back side of the card over the tape securing the smaller Z fold to the larger z fold.

Adhere the smaller tulip stamped image to the third panel of the smaller z fold so that the leaf is sticking out at the top.

Place Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the large tulip piece and adhere to the left side of the first panels.

I decided I wanted one of the bloom to be Daffodil Delight as I did not have enough of this color on the card. So I redid the smaller bloom in Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends.

I added Adhesive-Backed Pearl trio embellishments to the card to finish off this fun swap card with some coordinating bling!

I love the way this turned out – how about you do you like the decisions I made during the creative process – changing the flower colors and the embossing folder? Let me know what you think and which way you preferred it!

Do not be shy to change your mind while creating – creative process is a fluid thing and be open to your creative instinct – try new things and do not be afraid to go in a different direction then you originally imagined – you might just like the outcome better than the original inspiration!

Now go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

combining multiple stamp sets for a unique look

by nataliegramleystamps | Feb 12, 2025 | card samples, die cutting, my favorites, online exclusives, techniques

Sometimes you just get an inspiration and need to use multiple stamp sets and this card uses three! All are Online Exclusive stamp sets from the most recent release – which means these stamp sets DO NOT APPEAR in any of our print publications but can ONLY be found ONLINE!

Elements of Text Stamp set #164774
Spring Corners Bundle #164743
Spring Corners Stamp set #164738
Mixed Florals Bundle #164642
Mixed Florals Stamp set #164639

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS: 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 5 1/2″ and a 4″ x 5 1/4″ for die cut
Basic Black CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″
DSP: 3 3/4″ x 5″

I used the Beautiful Bokeh 6″ x 6″ DSP for the Designer Series Layer.

I stamped the corner sentiment on a top and bottom diagonal corners of the DSP in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and the corner hatch marks in the opposite two corners in the same ink.

I added the circle Elements of Text image in the middle of the Spring Corners images on the DSP layer.

I stamped the daisy image from the Mixed Florals stamp set and colored the daisy petals with the Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends markers, the leaves in Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends markers and the smaller flower stems in Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blends markers.

I adhered the DSP layer to the Basic Black layer.

I die cut the daisy image and adhered the DSP layer to the Basic White card front.
I popped up the daisy image onto Stampin’ Dimensionals and placed it on the right-hand side of the card front.

I colored the white pearlescent Adhesive-Backed Sequins Trio with the Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends marker to coordinate with the card and adhered them around the card front to finish off the coordinated look with a little sparkle!

I love the way this “always in your corner” card turned out! Try combining some of your stamp sets and see what interesting combinations you can create – one stamp at a time!

Basic White CS: (2) 4″ x 5 1/4″ for flower stamps
and dies
Memories and More cards (2) 3″ x 4″ and (1)
4″ x 6″

I sorted through all the gorgeous offerings in the Mixed Media Florals Memories and More cards and chose three coordinating cards for my scrapbook page welcoming our newest family member our new niece!

I placed the three cards on an 8 1/2″ x 11″ piece of Calypso Coral card stock and started arranging the pictures and cards I wanted to put into this page. I liked the framing details in the 4″ x 6″ card and grabbed a Calypso Coral Stampin’ Write marker and a ruler and added a hand drawn border to mimic the one in the card. I added an offset Basic Black Marker border around the Calypso Coral border. When I liked the layout I cut the photos down to size and started adhering the largest 4″ x 6″ Memories and More card to the top left-hand corner.

I wanted to add a couple of stamped and colored images to the middle of the page so I stamped the Tulip and Daisy stamps on the Basic WHite layers and colored with assorted Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers then die cut the images.

I tucked the stamped and die cut images under the central photo of the new baby and added journaling in a Boho Blue marker.

Easy scrapbooking pages are not the only uses for these great little cards but fast and easy card making also!
Here are some examples from the catalog and one card I made using the various coordinating Memories and More cards!
