This Greenery Lane Bundle and coordinating Washi Tape has limitless possibilities and this week I had a play with all of the supplies from these products. I came up with a couple cards and this one I sent away as this month’s swap card for my demonstrator monthly swap – hope they like it!

This peek through masculine card features not only the Greenery Lane stamp set and matching dies but the coordinating wide Washi Tape and the dies work with the tape just like the Extraordinary Flora set!

Measurements:
BASE: Lost Lagoon CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Pretty Peacock CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″
Basic White CS: 3 3/4″ x 5″

Lay the tape on the Basic White CS layer and smooth out with your bone folder so there are no wrinkles.
Run the Basic White Washi Tape layer through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine with the Lovely Stripes 3D embossing folder using the Base #1 plate and the embossing #4 plate.
Run Stampin’ Seal on the top and left hand edge only to secure the embossed layer to the Pretty Peacock matte layer. I want to use both dies separately that is why I will adhere the other side after running it through the machine!
Place the smallest Branching out concentric dies on the layer and decide where to make the cut.
Run through the machine using the set up for a thin die: Base plate #1, thin die adaptor #2. and sandwich the paper and die in between two #3 cutting plates. Run through cutting both embossed and matte layers and separate the layers.
I used the embossed layer to cut out a smaller foliage sprig to use later as decoration.
Adhere the other side of the embossed layer to the Pretty Peacock matte layer and then adhere both to the card front.

Nestle the die into the open space and through through the machine again to cut out the same die through the card front layer.

I stamped the love and hugs sentiment in full strength Lost Lagoon ink and then the larger leaf sprig in first generation stamping (that is stamping off one time on my grid paper to get a lighter background color and effect.)

Then I added Stampin’ Seal to the back of the Pretty Peacock die cut and with the card front closed I added it through the die hole to adhere to the inside back of the card.

Open the card front and the die will be placed in the correct position to see through the front die cut opening! Burnish the layer to make sure it is adhered properly!
I adhered the smaller sprig die cut and three Holographic Resin Dots to finish off this sweet masculine Greenery Lane peek through card!
I love interactive cards and this peek through window is a fun treat for anyone that receives it!

Try this peek through technique today! Now go and create a fun interactive card of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

more color mondays – daffodil delight, coastal cabana and melon mambo

by | Jun 23, 2025 | card samples, color challenge, color theory, die cutting, embossing folders, more color mondays, new catalog, online exclusives, stamps ink paper, techniques

Welcome to More Color Mondays – today’s color challenge uses a triadic color combination from our Color Coach tool. This color wheel is actually two interconnected spinning circles that contain all of Stampin’ Up!’s basic colors on the outer wheel and an inner white circle with cut out sections that reveal different color theory color combinations!
We have four different color theory combinations available on this Color Coach Wheel:
Monochromatic, Analogous, Complementary and Triadic.
Today’s combination of Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana and Melon mambo is a triadic color combination forming a triangular position on the wheel.

Measurements:
Basic White CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″, 4″ x 5 1/4″ layer
Daffodil Delight CS: strip scrap
Coastal Cabana CS: strip scrap
Melon Mambo CS: strip scrap

Place the large butterfly die from the Beautiful Butterflies bundle and die cut in the center of the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layer – saving both the negative and positive images.
Place the negative die cut layer and emboss it in the Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder.
On the front of the Basic White card base, brush with Blending Brushes a layer of Daffodil Delight ink on the top about an inch in from the top, then a layer of Coastal Cabana then a layer of Melon Mambo about an inch from the bottom. Place the negative space layer on top of the card base before you start to gauge the area that you will want to color and the areas you want to leave white. We only want to color the area that will be seen through the butterfly opening.
Adhere the embossed negative die layer on the card base leaving an even border around the edges of the card front.
Adhere the butterfly detail die that came from the center of the original layer and adhere with in the borders of the negative die space.
I used strip scraps of Melon mambo and Daffodil delight and adhered these strips below the die.
Stamp a sentiment onto a Coastal Cabana strip and pop up the strip on the card over the bottom of the dies and above the other colored strips.
Adhere some embellishments around the sentiment and this lovely triadic color card is complete!

Our Color Wheel is a MUST HAVE – making color combinations a snap! Try some color combinations from the color wheel on page 136 in the new catalog or better yet order your own color wheel today!

Now go and create some great color combinations for your own artwork – one stamp at a time!

frosted forest peek-a-boo window card

frosted forest peek-a-boo window card

by | Oct 11, 2024 | card samples, Christmas card ideas, die cutting, masculine cards, techniques

I have done window cards before and I love the peek through aspect of creating a punch or a die cut geometric shape in a card and placing something through that space to look at. This card uses the Online Exclusive bundle called Frosted Forest – one of my favorites in the last Online Exclusives release! It comes with Masks that are so easy to use and enable ANYONE to be able to color in the tree images with expert precision and ease! Also the stamp set and dies are super versatile! This trio of tree silhouettes is lovely and totally different that the stamp images found in the set.

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS: 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 5 1/2″
3 3/4″ x 5″
scrap for trio tree silhouette die
Mossy Meadow 4″ x 5 1/4″

I die cut a large circle from the Spotlight on Nature die set in the smaller Basic White layer but you could use the circle punch as well.
I die cut the trio tree die in Basic White and adhered it to the back of the Basic White layer so that the tree images were almost centered.
I adhered the Basic White layer to the Mossy Meadow layer.
I adhered the Mossy Meadow layer to the Basic White card front.
I stamped the words Merry Christmas in Mossy Meadow ink to the bottom of the Basic White layer.
I have a pretty steady hand but should have put this step at the beginning after the circle die or punch step. (This way if you mess up the stamping you can turn over the layer and have a second try at it! Fortunately I did not screw up LOL!)
One of the reasons that Iridescent Pearls are my ALL TIME Favorite embellishment is not only are these exquisite as they are shiny and iridescent – which I love BUT you can color them for every Stampin’ Blends color that you have! I colored them with Mossy Meadow Dark Stampin’ Blends marker to exactly match the cardstock! LOVE THAT!
I decided I wanted a little more snowy sparkle so i whipped out my Wink of Stella glitter pen and brushed the trees and snowy hill and a little of the top Basic White layer with glitter – it’s hard to pick it up in the photos but trust me it is sparkly!!
Try a peek-a-boo window card with a set you have and let me know how it turns out!
Now go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

heartfelt hexagon window card

heartfelt hexagon window card

by | Jan 3, 2024 | card samples, color challenge, embossing folders, my favorites, new catalog, online exclusives, sneak peak, stamps ink paper, techniques

Today will be a very fun day and this is one of the fun projects you will be able to do if you are local and coming to visit me between 1-3pm at my New Catalog Open House. This bundle was made available early on-line because it was used in an on-line stamping day but it is one of the new bundles available in the January to April 2024 Mini Catalog! (and there is a FREE set you can earn during Sale-a-bration that coordinates with the punch HOW FUN IS THAT!!)
One of the best things I like about punches is that they can do so many fun things and cutting out a peek through window is one of those things and the one use I will be highlighting in this blog post!

Measurements:
Orchid Oasis: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
1/2″ strips of:
Bubble Bath
Flirty Flamingo
Lemon Lime Twist
Coastal Cabana
Orchid Oasis
Basic White layer: 4″ x 5 1/4″ embossed and
punched

Slide the Hexagon punch onto the Basic White layer from the top of the 4 1/4″ side and punch out the hexagon shape.
Place the punched layer into the Painted Posies 3D embossing folder and emboss the image around the punched window.
Cut at least one 1/2″ strip of each of the colored cardstock in Bubble Bath, Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lime Twist, Coastal Cabana, and Orchid Oasis.
Place adhesive closely around the punched out window on the back side.
Layer one strip butting up next to the next strip and lay down onto the adhesive above and below the punched out window opening.

Place the Basic White layer embossing side up on a Stampin’ Pierce mat and stamp in Tuxedo Black Memento ink, one of the sentiments from the Heartfelt Hexagon Bundle. Press firmly as you are stamping on multiple pieces of cardstock layered next to one another and not a single sheet of cardstock.

Tie a length of Orchid Oasis Metallic Woven ribbon in a knot around the Basic White embossed layer. Pop up this layer on Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhere to the Orchid Oasis cardstock base.

One of the coolest things about this Metallic Woven ribbon is you can pull it gently to create a pattern within the ribbon or pull it all the way to create loose singular threads at the end – I used both techniques on the edges of this ribbon. I placed a small patch of adhesive down under the ribbon to keep the pulled design intact!
I added five 2022-2024 In Color Pearls in coordinating Orchid Oasis to complete the card with a little coordinating bling – LOVE that about Stampin’ Up!

Hope to see you this afternoon and help you make this card! Come and create a little artwork of your very own – one new stamp at a time!!!

Happy Stampin’
Natalie
