sweet old bear card

This suite for me is super sentimental and nostalgic. The Designer Series Paper is so awesome there are two pages that have little vignettes of scenes from the original Winnie the Pooh books and they make perfect easy cards.

Measurements:
BASE: Very Vanilla CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″, 4″ x 5 1/4″ scrap for
sentiment piece
Golden Glow CS: scraps for vignette matte and
sentiment matte

Emboss the Very Vanilla layer with the Hundred Acre Woods embossing folder.

Adhere to the Very Vanilla card base.

Die cut one of the vignettes and die cut the larger matte in Golden Glow CS and adhere the Pooh Vignette to the Golden Glow Matte and then adhere to the center of the embossed card front.

Die cut the smaller banner in Very Vanilla cardstock and the larger banner die in the Golden Glow CS. Stamp the sentiment in Golden Glow ink on the Very vanilla banner and adhere it to the Golden Glow banner. Pop the sentiment up on Stampin’ Dimensionals and mount on the card below the Pooh Vignette.

Adhere the In Color Butterflies around the card to finish it off.

Love the sentiment images and the sweet words and labels that coordinate with all of the old fashioned Pooh images.

Now it’s your turn to make some artwork of your very own one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
Natalie

memorable blooms naturally gilded floating element card

by nataliegramleystamps | Mar 7, 2025 | card samples, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, masculine cards, new catalog, techniques

Today’s card was a card I designed for last month’s library card class and haven’t posted.

This card uses the Memorable Blooms bundle and even though this stamp set has floral and foliage images and would normally lend itself to very feminine cards but this more masculine card uses the leaf sprig from the Memorable Blooms die set in neutral colors.

Measurements:
BASE: Very Vanilla CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
scrap for die
DSP: (2) 3/4″ x 3″ from Naturally Gilded
Specialty paper
(2) 3/4″ x 3″ from the Gold Foil Specialty
paper
Window Sheet: 3″ x 3″

Glue the 3/4″ x 3″ Naturally Gilded Specialty Paper to the top of the Window Sheet.

Glue the 3/4″ x 3″ Golf Foil Specialty Paper to the bottom of the Window Sheet.

Glue the last two Specialty Paper strips to the middle of the Window Sheet spacing evenly.

Place the Window Sheet square in the upper middle of the card and stamp the sentiment below the square in the lower 1/3 of the card in Wild Wheat ink.
