Azure Afternoon CS: scrap for die
Peach Pie CS: scrap for die
Calypso Coral CS: scrap for die
DSP: scrap for die

I embossed the front side of the card base with the new Soft Waves 3D embossing folder,

With Azure Afternoon ink, I stamped the little stars images on the top half of the card front.

I stamped the reach for the stars sentiment and the birds directly onto the DSP die cut and adhered the concentric dies together!
I popped them onto the center of the card front.
I finished off the card with Basic Rhinestone Jewels embellishments for a little easy starry bling!

Try this if you have concentric dies or get this suite while it lasts!
Now go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

dutch barn door fun fold with regal winter paper

by nataliegramleystamps | Nov 6, 2024 | card samples, Christmas card ideas, Designer Series Paper, fun fold, stamps ink paper, techniques

Today I have another fun fold to teach you – this one is a Dutch Barn Door fun fold card featuring some beautiful floral Designer Series paper from the current mini catalog called Regal Winter.

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS: 8 1/2″ x 8 3/4″
score along the 8 1/2″ side at 2 1/8″ from both
sides.
Score along the 8 3/4″ side at 2 1/4″ and 5 1/2″
DSP: upper dutch door 3″ x 4″
lower dutch barn doors: (2) 1 7/8″ square
Night of Navy CS:
outside matte: 2 7/8″ square
inside matte: 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
Basic White CS:
outside sentiment piece: 2 3/4″ square
inside piece: 3 3/4″ x 5″

Cut across the 2 1/4″ score lines to the first intersecting score line at 2 1/8″. Then cut along the 2 1/8″ score line through the 5 1/2″ intersecting score line and cut to the top of the card stock. Do this on both sides of the card, see photo!

The small “doors” on the bottom of the card base will fold inward to meet each other in the middle of the card and the top piece will fold downward towards the barn doors and meet in the middle as well.

Cut the Basic White and Night of Navy cardstock as above in the Measurement section.
Cut the DSP if there is a pattern try to cut the pattern so it matches or at least is adhered in the same direction.

Adhere the 1 7/8″ square DSP pieces to the barn doors on the bottom.

Adhere the inside Night of Navy 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ matte to the 3 3/4″ x 5″ Basic White to each other and adhere to the inside of the card – hiding the 2 1/4″ score line.

Adhere the larger DSP to the top panel.

I stamped the “MAY YOUR HOLIDAY SEASON BE FILLED WITH WARMTH AND Cheerful Celebration” sentiment with Night of Navy ink onto the smaller Basic White piece. Brush with Night of Navy Blending Brush and adhere to the Night of Navy matte.

Place a strip of Tear & Tape to the top of the backside of the sentiment pieces and add to the top flap of the card when it is closed.

Add Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the sentiment piece and this fun fold card is complete! I really liked this paper but didn’t purchase the set that goes with it. This DSP is so pretty it can stand alone with just adding a sentiment from a set you already own! I love this non-traditional Holiday card!
Try one for yourself – take non traditional colors or paper and create a lovely and unexpected holiday card!
Now go and create some art work of your very own – one stamp, one sentiment, one sheet of DSP at a time!

Happy Stampin’

more color monday – night of navy, old olive, and basic beige

by nataliegramleystamps | Nov 4, 2024 | card samples, color challenge, die cutting, my favorites, stamps ink paper, techniques

When I saw the frame die from the Winterly Tree Tops I knew it would be one of my favorites! When I saw the negative space from the frame die I got the feeling of looking up into the night sky. So I decided on this card for this week’s More Color Monday challenge.
Today’s More Color Monday is all about Night of Navy, Old Olive and Basic Beige!

Measurements:
BASE: Basic Beige CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Old Olive CS: 3 3/4″ x 5 1/4″
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″ and 3/4″ x 4 1/4″

Take the negative space from the Winterly tree Tops frame die. Using a Blending Brush with Night of Navy ink.

Use a water painter and add a few drops of White Craft ink into the Craft White ink pad cover. Add a few drops of water and stir the ink and water with the Water Painter brush.
Using a bone folder tap the Water painter over the Night of Navy inked negative die.

Brush the edges of the Old Olive cardstock layer with Old Olive ink.

Adhere the Night of Navy layer onto the Old Olive cardstock.

Adhere the Old Olive cardstock onto the Basic Beige cardstock base.

Stamp the “thinking of you” sentiment onto a 3/4″ strip with Night of Navy ink and die cut with the banner die from the Greetings of the Seasons dies.

Brush the edges with a Blending Brush and Night of Navy ink.

Pop up the banner onto the card base. Hang over the edge with the hole end of the banner die.

Cut the edge off the banner.

Adhere the Basic Rhinestones Gems around the sentiment.

I love the look of this card as if it is a beautiful evening and the stars are out and one is looking up through an opening in a copse of trees.

Now go and create some art work of your very own – one stamp at a time.

Happy Stampin’,
Natalie

decorative trees simple christmas card in blueberry bushel and white

by nataliegramleystamps | Oct 25, 2024 | card samples, Christmas card ideas, masculine cards

Sometimes all you are looking for is a simple card – especially when it comes to Christmas cards if you send out quite a few like I do!

This card fits the bill lovely and simple – requiring just a few steps and minimal layers!

Measurements:
BASE: Blueberry Bushel CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
1″ x 4″ strip
scrap for the die cut tree
Basic White layer: (2) 4″ x 5 1/4″

Use the embossing buddy – rub over the 1″ strip of Blueberry Bushel cardstock and stamp the “O Christmas Tree” sentiment in Versamark ink in the center. Sprinkle the White embossing powder from the Embossing Basics pack and heat set with the Heat Tool.
Emboss one of the Basic White CS layers with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder and adhere the strip to the lower 1/3 of the layer.

Adhere the Basic White embossed layer to the card front.

Die cut the snowflake tree die in Blueberry Bushel and adhere to the card center with glue.

Adhere Basic Rhinestone jewels to the card front to complete this simple Christmas card!
I love the winter-y vibe this blue and white card gives off. So elegant and simple!

Try making a few Christmas cards in plenty of time now so you will not feel rushed as the season approaches.

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

Happy Stampin’

off to “onstage” houston

by nataliegramleystamps | Mar 15, 2024 | card samples, card swap, online exclusives, stamps ink paper, techniques

I left yesterday and my husband is cooking which means that he and my children will be eating out until I get home on Sunday LOL! They are excited and so am I – I rarely go away by myself in fact the last time I went to a Stampin’ Up! event it was convention 20 years ago I had only been a demonstrator for two years! I celebrated my 40th birthday in Las Vegas with my Stampin’ Up! family and it was a blast. We have not had large gatherings during Covid so I am so happy that the world is returning to normal and we can go back to doing large events like this one.
OnStage is in Houston in the United States as well as Rotterdam, Netherlands and Melbourne Australia! I am going to be with a good friend of mine and hopefully meet lots of fun people and learn a bunch of new things!
One of the many fun things we get to do besides meet people from all over the United States that love this hobby and business as much as I do is get to swap cards and ideas!
This is the swap card I made for OnStage.

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
second layer 3 3/4″ x 5″
scrap for the Magnolia die
Granny Apple Green: 4″ x 5 1/4″

Adhere the Granny Apple Green layer to the card base.

Stamp the sentiment in Granny Apple Green ink in the upper right hand corner of the second Basic White layer and then stamp the Magnolia pods in the upper left corner and the lower right corner. Then adhere the Basic White layer to the Granny Apple Green layer.

I flipped the Silicone matte that comes with the Glass Matte Studio over to the smooth side and placed a drop of Granny Apple Green ink refill on the upper right side and added water from a Water Painter. I used the medium Water Painter and painted the leaves of the Magnolia die cut.

I used the Light Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends marker and colored the folds of the Magnolia petals.

Using the Dark Mambo Melon I created highlight lines over the Light Bubble Bath.

I then blended the Light and Dark with the Dark Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends marker.

I adhered the Magnolia die to the card and realized that I forgot to color in the flower center with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends marker, so I added that in the second photo! OOPS!

I added five 2022-2024 In Color Pearls in the green Parakeet Party these will be retiring and I am so sad about these embellishments especially because of the iridescence they match so many of our colors not just the In Colors themselves. The Parakeet Party pearls look great on this card and match the Granny Apple Green very well.

I ended up making a lot of these to swap and i added our Basic Rhinestone Jewels to most as I did not have enough of the In Color Pearls so this is the actual swap card!
