stippled roses double faux step card

by nataliegramleystamps | Dec 22, 2023 | card samples, Designer Series Paper, fun fold, Sale-a-bration, sneak peak, stamps ink paper, techniques

This double faux step card was inspired by fellow demonstrator Susan C. – and I thought I would make one of my own and share my version!

Measurements:
BASE: Calypso Coral CS: 5 1/2″ square
scored at 3/4″, 1 1/2″, and 3 1/2″
Layer: 3″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″ and 8″
2″ x 7″ scored at 3 1/2″ and 6 1/2″
Basic White layers: 2 3/4″ x 4″ and
1 3/4″ x 3 1/4″
scraps for die cuts
DSP layers: 2 1/2″ x 3 3/4″ and
1 1/2″ x 3″
Old Olive scraps for die cut leaves

Die cut a small square die from the Stylish Shapes die set.
Stamp in Smoky Slate ink the smaller rose from the Stippled Roses stamp set.
Using the Stampin’ Blends first color in the leaves with the Old Olive light marker.
Using the shading marks drawn on the stamped image highlight the darker areas with the dark Old Olive Stampin’ Blends marker.
Go over the entire leaf image with the light marker once more to blend the colors.

Using the Light Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends marker color the rose.

Highlight the dark shaded areas with the dark Calypso Coral marker.

Blend the rose with the light marker over the whole rose area and stamp the Hapy Mother’s Day sentiment from the Stippled Roses stamp set in Calypso Coral ink onto the square die.

Score the 5 1/2″ square piece of Calyspo Coral cardstock at 3/4″, 1 1/2″ and 3 1/2″ and bend into mountain fold at the 3/4″, valley fold at the 1 1/2″ fold and mountain fold again at the 3 1/2″ fold. Score the 3″ 8 1/2″ piece at 4 1/4″ and 8″ and fold 4 1/4″ into a mountain fold and the 8″ score line to a valley fold. Adhere the 2 1/2″ piece of DSP to the 2 3/4″ basic White piece and adhere to the larger panel of the 3″ x 8 1/2″ piece of cardstock.

Score the 2″ x 7″ piece at 3 1/2″ and 6 1/2″ and fold 3 1/2″ into a mountain fold and the 6 1/2″ score line to a valley fold. Adhere the 1 1/2″ piece of DSP to the 1 3/4″ basic White piece and adhere to the larger panel of the 2″ x 7″ piece of cardstock.

Place a strip of adhesive on the backside edges of both pieces of cardstock and adhere to the outside edges of the scored 5 1/2″ square.

Die cut the small rose and pop up on STampin’ Dimensionals and add to the lower portion of the smaller step.

Die cut two leaf sprigs from the Stippled Roses dies.

Pop up the sentiment onto Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhere the leaf dies to the upper and lower sides diagonally and adhere to the larger step panel.

I added both Brushed Brass butterflies and Iridescent Pearls to this Mother’s Day card to make it extra special for that extra Special person in everyone’s life!

Just a reminder that this is a sneak peak – this gorgeous DSP will be available as a FREE item in the upcoming Sale-a-bration catalogs which my customers are receiving if you are new to stamping and do not have a demonstrator and would like new catalogs message me and I will get you the Sale-a-bration 2024 and the 2024 January to April mini catalog in the mail!

OnStage@Home event

by nataliegramleystamps | Nov 29, 2023 | card samples, Designer Series Paper, new catalog, product reviews, sneak peak, stamps ink paper

On Saturday November 11th, I got to join demonstrators from around the world and craft together, here the state of the Stampin’ Up! company and get a sneak peak at some of the fun things we have in store for the beginning of the new year! We got a chance to preview the upcoming Stampin’ Up! January to April 2024 mini catalog and Sale-a-bration brochures. I pre-ordered lots of fun new products to share with you all. We got to craft together with the upcoming Bee Mine Suite of products.

We shared our photos and got a box of goodies to help celebrate the 35th anniversary of the company!
The event was presented on a worldwide platform in multiple languages and had multiple pages of resources and fun information!

We had multiple presenters and interesting presentations about the new products coming our way! We got to see the new catalogs filled with new products, stamps, papers, and supplies!

We listened to our CEO Sara Douglas talk about the inspiration of hosting all the 35 in 35 events this year and the amazing things the demonstrators of this company continually do.
I loved the three uniques that she presented – things that make us different! And this company is special!

We foster relationships that grow into friendships.
We create meaningful experiences that strengthen community.
We provide coordinating products that engage customers!

And we stamped together! Isn’t that the name of the game!!!

Loved being at this event!

Cannot wait to share all of the great things I learned. I have ordered the new catalogs to be mailed out in late December for the January start of Sale-a-bration and the new mini catalog. If you would like a new catalog please let me know and I will make sure that you are on my mailing list!

three angle designer series cards

by nataliegramleystamps | Jan 9, 2023 | card samples, Designer Series Paper, Sale-a-bration, stamps ink paper, techniques

3 angled DSP cards are so easy and can vary with your imagination! Take a Basic White cardstock base and three sheets of cardstock and DSP and you have the makings of a quick and easy card that can vary as far as your willing to test it!
Measurements:
Thick White Cardstock (3) 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 5 1/2″
Basic White cardstock (1) 4″ x 5 1/4″
Dandy Designs (2) 4″ x 5 1/4″
scraps of White and a coordinating colored
cardstock
Take the 3 pieces of 4″ x 5 1/4″ pieces of paper
– make sure that the two pieces of DSP coordinate and different designs are facing upwards.
Make the first angled cut anywhere on the left side of the 5 1/4″ side and angle it into the bottom right hand corner.
Starting at the top right hand corner angle the paper to the desired angle and starting in the middle of the paper cut down to the edge of the paper and then reverse to the upper corner (do not start the cut at the point of the corner as you can crumple the corner edge)
You will now have three pieces of each type of paper.

Take the White cardstock and run it through a 3D Embossing Folder of your choice for a little depth and dimension. I used the Timeworn Type.

The angled cuts will match exactly because you cut them at the same time.

Alternate the three different pieces and get the base for three different cards!

Adhere the left corner piece to the matching corner of the card base.

Make sure to get the tape to the edges of each of the separate sections and adhere the top right hand corner piece to the card.

Adhere the bottom piece to the card base.

Die cut a matte out of coordinating colored cardstock (I choose Balmy Blue) and I die cut with the Layering Circles dies. Cut a smaller Basic White cardstock to fit inside the matte (I used the Stylish Shapes) Stamp an image and color with Stampin’ Blends. I used the Adorable Owls Sale-a-bration set and use the Bronze and Ivory blends and the Light Balmy Blue.

Adhere the stamped circle to the Balmy Blue matte and pop up the Owl on Stampin’ Dimensionals. Place White Glittered Organdy ribbon behind the popped up circle and adhere to the card where the three papers converge.

Add the new Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the card and a sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento ink to the lower right hand side and so cute you are done!
Try this with some of your own DSP or better yet put in an order and get some FREE Designer Series Paper out of the 2023 Sale-a-bration catalog.
The current hostess code is SWXBZUH9 and go out and create some art of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
Natalie

Basic Black strips 1/4″ x 4 1/4″
Crushed Curry CS 4 1/4″ x 11 scored at 5 1/2″

Stamp the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and fussy cut around the image.

Stamp the friend sentiment from the Covered in Sunshine stamp set and color with Stampin’ Blends, Daffodil Delight dark, Pumpkin Pie dark and Poppy Parade light.
Mount 3″ x 1″ DSP to the Basic Black matte pieces.
Adhere the 3″ x 5 1/2″ DSP piece to the center of the card front.
Mount the Black matted DSP to either side of the center DSP left one raised slightly higher than the right one.
Pop up the sentiment on Stampin’ Dimensionals and add to the card center.
Add Matte Black Dots to the card and you are done!

Measurements card #6

Adhere the 2″ strip down the center of the card front and adhere the punched 1″ strips overlapping on either side.

Wrap White Glittered Organdy ribbon around the card center and tie in an off center knot.

With a Blending Brush and Crushed Curry ink color the edges of the sentiment piece after it is stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and die cut with the Deckled Rectangle die.
Pop up on Stampin’ Dimensionals and layer in the center over the ribbon.
