sale-a-bration is in full swing with simple stamping card

by nataliegramleystamps | Jan 8, 2025 | card samples, Designer Series Paper, Sale-a-bration, stamps ink paper, techniques

Here is a simple stamping project with some adorably whimsical FREE DSP from the new Sale-a-bration catalog available yesterday. This 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper coordinates with a new bundle in the January to April 2025 Mini catalog called Terrific Toadstools Bundle.
I am using another set from the mini catalog called With you in Mind instead of the coordinating stamp set to show you can use the paper without having to purchase the coordinating set if you do not want and still use it with other sets!

Measurments:
BASE: Granny Apple Green CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Basic White layer: 3 1/4″ square
scraps for the flower and leaf images
DSP: 3″ Square cut in half diagonally and then
cut one of the triangles in half to create two smaller triangles. use stack, cut and shuffle technique.

Stamp the large sentiment on the bottom 1/3 of the card front in Granny Apple Green ink.
Stamp the leaf image around the outside of the card edges.

Cut the DSP squares in half and then cut just one of those triangles in half so you have one large and two smaller triangles.
I cut multiple designs of this paper and then shuffled the papers so the designs would be different in each of the triangular spaces.
Adhere to the 3 1/4″ Basic White square layer.

Adhere the Basic White square above the sentiment on the card front.

I added some Sale-a-bration embellishments to finish off the card!

Try this easy stack, cut and shuffle technique with coordinating paper that you have lying around and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

simple stamping with designer series paper

by nataliegramleystamps | Jun 19, 2024 | card samples, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, In Colors, stamps ink paper

Need a super simple card that still looks beautiful? Let our Designer Series Paper do ALL the work for you! Using just 1/16th of a sheet of 12″ x 12″ DSP you can make this simple and elegant card.

Measurements:
BASE: Summer Splash 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 5 1/2″
Basic White CS: 3 1/4″ x 3 1/2″
scrap for sentiment die piece
DSP: (3) 1″ x 3″ pieces

Adhere the 3 pieces of DSP to the Basic White cardstock layer. Position the layer so that the 3″ sides of the DSP are adhered to the 3 1/4″ side leaving an 1/8″ on all sides. I find that it is best to adhere the outside pieces first and then place the middle piece evenly in between the outside pieces.

I stamped a sentiment on the inside of the card base.

Tie the Summer Splash Bordered coordinating ribbon into a knot around the DSP/Basic White layer.
Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of this piece and adhere to the upper center of the card front.

I die cut a scrap of Basic White cardstock with the large banner die from the Stylish Shapes die set and stamped the Happy Birthday in Summer Splash ink from the Unbounded Love bundle. This is a fabulous sentiment set with both inside and outside coordinating sentiments!
I popped up the die onto Stampin’ Dimensionals and placed it on the card front directly below the DSP piece.
I added In Color Shimmer Gems to finish the cards with coordinating sparkle!

Try this super easy card and send out some love to those you care about! Pick out your favorite DSP and go create some fun card – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
Natalie

thoughtful journey suite front flap double card fun fold

by nataliegramleystamps | Jun 12, 2024 | card samples, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, fun fold, new catalog, stamps ink paper, techniques

I am constantly searching for new card and fun fold ideas to teach and show you! When I came across this one it did not have a name – I am sure someone else probably has a name or two for this design but I could not find one so for my record keeping I named it LOL This fun fold is like two cards in one so I named it the Front Flap Double card fun fold! It’s a mouthful but I did another front flap card this past Friday and I wanted you all to be able to identify them by name.
This card uses the absolutely gorgeous Thoughtful Designs Specialty paper highlighted with shimmer and shine and silver foil it is stunning in person.

Measurements:
BASE: Smoky Slate 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
Back card: Petunia pop 5 1/4″ x 8″
scored at 4″
Front Flap: Petunia Pop 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″
Hinge piece: Petunia Pop 1″ x 5″
scored at 1 1/2″
Thoughtful Designs Specialty DSP 3 3/4″ x 5″
scrap for front decoration 1″ x 3″
Basic White (2) 3″ x 4 1/4″ for both sides of front
flap and scraps for leaf dies
(1) 3 3/4″ x 5″ for inside of back card

Take the hinge piece and adhere the long side to the right-hand center edge of the 1/4 sheet of Smoky Slate BASE.

Score the 5 1/4″ x 8″ Petunia Pop cardstock in half on the long side at 4″. With the opening on the right adhere the back of the card to the center of the Smoky Slate base.

Adhere the Thoughtful Designs Specialty paper to the front side of the “back card” you just adhered to the Smoky Slate.

Bend the hinge piece over the DSP and place the 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″ Petunia Pop layer on top, center ot in the middle of the back card and mentally not where the layer hits the hinge. you only want to add adhesive to the left side of the hinge making sure to not pass where the layer will be.
Adhere the left-hand part of the hinge piece and adhere the Petunia Pop layer to the hinge.

Adhere one of the Basic White CS layers to the inside of the front flap Petunia Pop layer.

Stamp on the other Basic White layer the small flower stems image across the bottom of that layer in Smoky Slate ink.

Using the Light Petunia Pop Stampin’ Blends marker color in the petals of the flowers.

Color in the leaves in Smoky Slate using both the Light and Dark Blends markers.

Shade the flowers with the Dark Petunia pop Blends marker and then go over it once more with the Light marker to blend.

Adhere the stamped Basic White layer to the outside of the Front Flap.
Stamp in Smoky Slate ink a sentiment over the flower images.

Add a 1″ strip of Thoughtful Designs Specialty paper over the sentiment on the Basic White layer.

I added a Basic White layer to the inside of the Back Card and stamped in Smoky Slate the leaves image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set. I also stamped Missing You sentiment on that layer.

I added a small strip of Petunia Pop CS to add color and continuity to this layer.

I added 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems (I had to order more because I have used all of the Petunia Pop gems LOL) to the card’s Front Flap to add a little shimmer!

I had some extra die cuts from last week’s class so I added those for some texture and dimension!

This is a fun card with lots of places to write and decorate! Try it soon! Now go and find some time to create some art of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

channel sliding lock fun fold

by nataliegramleystamps | Jun 7, 2024 | card samples, embossing folders, fun fold, In Colors, my favorites, new catalog, techniques

Today’s card is a very fun Sliding Lock fun fold card or a Channel Lock Fun Fold. I saw this card on a fellow demonstrator’s website – thanks for the inspiration Jacque W!

Measurements:
BASE: Shy Shamrock 5 1/2″ x 8 1/4″
scored on the 8 1/4″ side at 2″ and 6 1/4″
top inside panels embossed: (2) 1 3/4″ x 5 1/4″
Basic White inside layer: 4″ x 5 1/4
top matte panels (2) 1 7/8″ x 5 3/8″
scrap pieces for 2 die cut circles

Emboss the Shy Shamrock panels in the Dotted Circle 3D embossing folder, and mount onto the Basic White matte pieces.

Score the base card at 2″ and 6 1/4″ and fold inward towards the middle of the card.
Adhere the panels to each side panel matching the embossing pattern if there is one – since I chose the concentric circles of the Dotted Circles embossing folder I matched up the pattern and adhered the panels appropriately.

Stamp the inside Basic White layer making sure that the design is kept hidden from view in the channel while the card is closed.
I stamped leaves on the bottom of the layer in Shy Shamrock and a butterfly from the Spotlight on Nature set in Petunia Pop ink in the top right-hand corner above the channel opening.

Adhere the Basic White inside layer to the inside base of the card.

Choose a Spotlight on Nature circle large enough for the Flower image and stamp the flowers in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

Using the Light Petunia Pop Stampin’ Blends marker, I colored in the flower petals.

Using the Dark Petunia Pop Stampin’ Blends marker I highlighted the flower petals at the base and drew over the shading lines. Then reapplied Light ink from the Stampin’ Blends Light Petunia Pop marker to blend.

I colored the leaves with Light and Dark Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends markers.

I die cut a smaller circle from the Stylish Shapes die set and leaving a portion outside the card to make sure the circle was even from top to bottom in the channel I placed it inside the card and drew a line in pencil in the middle of the backside of the circle.

I added a Foam Adhesive Strip on the pencil mark on the backside of the Stylish Shapes circle die.

I removed the paper release paper from the Foam Adhesive strip and while in the channel attached the larger colored circle die on top of the one in the channel.

I added a sentiment piece onto the colored circle die after stamping the sentiment, cutting a banner edge and burnishing the edges with Shy Shamrock ink with a Blending brush. I popped it up onto Stampin’ Dimensionals over the flower image. I added three 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems in Shy Shamrock color to finish off the card with a little sparkle!
This now can slide through the channel to keep the card closed and provide a locking mechanism! So much FUN!

This is the finished card with the Channel Locking mechanism in the center!
You can use any punch or die or shape for the locking mechanism – be creative and see what you can design! Now go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
