Saying goodbye to the 2020-2022 In-Colors... I cannot believe it has been two years already and we are saying goodbye to these five great colors; Misty Moonlight, Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Magenta Madness and Just Jade.  But as sad as we might be to see them go, only means five great new colors will be introduced. 

Using the Ranunculus Romance Bundle, I gave each color a showing in this card project. 

Card Details:

• Misty Moonlight Card Stock:      4-1/4 x 5-1/2 and 5-1/2 x 8-1/2
• Magenta Madness Card Stock:   3 x 3
• Just Jade Card Stock:                   2 x 4-1/2
• Basic White Card Stock:              (2) 4 x 5-1/4

Other supplies:  Scalloped Contour Dies, Crinkle Seam Binding Ribbon, Sponge Daubers

• Form Misty Moonlight card base by folding the 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 piece of CS in half. 
• With Cinnamon Cider Ink, stamping ink off twice, stamp the antique script words randomly on one of the 4 x 5-1/2 Basic White and adhere to card base
• With the 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 piece of Misty Moonlight, die cut the second largest Contour die and 4 decorative dies from Ranunculus dies, adhering those to the four corners of Contour die cut. 
• Add a piece of Crinkle ribbon to above and adhere to card front
• Die cut Ranunculus flower outline with the 3 x 3 Magenta Madness CS
• With the 4 x 5-1/4 Basic White CS:
  
  • die cut detailed ranunculus flower
  • die cut 2nd smallest Scalloped Contour die
  • stamp flower* and die cut
  • stamp "hello" in Bumblebee ink and die cut

*stamp flower:  I used Magenta Madness and Just Jade and a Stampin' Sponge to add color to the stamp

• Adhere white detail die cut flower to Magenta Madness and glue to card front. 
• Die cut two leaves from the Ranunculus dies and adhere to back corners of the Scalloped Contour die and add to card front with Dimensionals
• I added the Ranunculus stamped flowers with Dimensionals to the above
• The "Hello" is adhered with Dimensionals
• I tied a double bow with White Crinkle Seam Binding Ribbon

Welcome to February's Team blog hop.  As you can see from the title, our theme is Love is in the Air so I chose to go with a Valentine's Day card.  And I also went back to the annual catalog to pull out some favorite products such as the Word Wishes and Floral Hearts dies, the Parisian Flourish 3D embossing folder and the Gold and Rose Gold 6x6 Metallic Specialty Paper. 

Card Details:

• 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Basic Black card stock (CS), scored in half at 4-1/4
• 4-1/8 x 5-3/8 Basic Black CS, embossed with the Parisian Flourish 3D embossing folder
• 1 x 6 Basic Black CS scored at 3-5/8
• 1 sheet of the Rose Gold Metallic Specialty paper
• 4 x 5-1/4 Basic White CS

Putting it together:

• adhere the 4-1/8 x 5-3/8 embossed black cardstock to card base with Black Stampin' Dimensionals
• cover back of Rose Gold paper with Adhesive sheets then die cut words and heart
• adhere the heart first, then Happy and Day to the embossed card front
• adhere the word Valentine's to the end of the longer end of 1 x 6 strip of black CS 
• stamp words in Black Ink and little heart clusters in Blushing Bride on Basic White card stock for the inside
• the 1 x 6 strip, find alignment to Valentine's goes across the heart, the adhere the flap to the basic of the Basic White inside piece
• add the solid heart die cut piece left over from the floral heart to the inside of your card (see below picture)

Card Details:

            Paper

• Pool Party Card Stock (CS) 
  • card base 5-1/2 x 8-1/2
  • 1-3/4 x 3 piece for die cut label
• Petal Pink CS
  • layer cut 4-1/8 x 5-3/8
• Basic White CS
  • 4 x 5-1/4 to stamp all the flowers and leaves and label
• Friendly Hello DSP
  • 1-15/16 x 4... the 1-15/16 is the tiny line just before 2"
  • 2 pieces 1-15/16 x 2-9/16 (the 2-9/16 is the tiny line just after 2-1/2)

Accessories:

• Blends Alcohol Markers (Pool Party, Petal Pink, Granny Apple Green)

            Ink:  Granny Apple Green, Petal Pink, and Memento Basic Black

How it all comes together:

1. Fold your Pool Party 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 in half to form the card base
2. Adhere Petal Pink layer piece then your 3 pieces of DSP
3. On Basic White, stamps 1 large flower cluster, 2 small flowers, 3 leaf cluster (around large flowers) and several of the other leaves in the stamp set.  I did 5 larger ones.  Then fussy cut all those out.  Make sure to leave room to stamp the "Hello" which I did my masking off the word "Friendly".  (Masking:  I laid a sticky note over the word I did not want, inked up the Hello, removed the sticky note)
4. Color all the flowers and leaves
5. Die cut the 2 labels with the Stitched Rectangle label dies
6. HELLO Label:  adhere the white to the Pool Party and add flower clusters in the corners.  Adhere label to card front with Dimensionals
7. Square Vellum Doily:  using your Dark Pool Party Blends Marker, color the doily and add to card front
8. Flower Cluster:  I start by adhering 3 of the leaf sprigs to back of flowers.  Next zig zag the Petal Pink ribbon back-n-forth adhering each layer as you go (glue dots work great).  Adhere the flower cluster with Dimensions
9. Tuck some extra leaves around the flower cluster
10. Add Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels for some sparkle!

Hello... and welcome to our monthly Blog Hop!  I have been so excited for this month as we are doing a 3-D project (anything other than a regular card).  Not only do I love making cards, but I enjoy general crafting too; and actually, that is how I stumbled into Stampin' Up!  Someone I craft with, invited me to a Stampin' Up! party.  

So I am very excited to share my Christmas Gift 3-D project with you.  And it does not hurt that I used my favorite product suite, Whimsy & Wonder!  I'm sad that it will be retiring soon. 

Be sure to check out the RETIRING LIST just released today!  Also, items have been added to the CLEARANCE RACK!

Any ways, without further delay, here is my project!  It's a 12 x 12 Shadow Box Frame. 

-  The background is a 12 x 12" piece of Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper (unfortunately, now sold out... sorry.  I know, I'm sad too).

-  There are 6 pieces of 3-1/4 x 3-1/4" pieces of Polished Pink Card stock and one (1) piece at 3-1/4 x 10-1/4.

-  There are 6 pieces of Whimsy & Wonder DSP 3-1/8 x 3-1/8" and one (1) at 3-1/8 x 10-1/8.  I used all different patterns.

• top row:     
  • 1st square:  tree & words stamps done in Mint Macaron on Basic White CS.  Silver Tree accent die cut from Silver Foil
  • 2nd square:  tree die cut Mint Macaron CS, Silver Foil for tree deco die and bulbs stamped in Memento Black ink on Basic white, die cut and colored with Blends.  Rhinestone for accent.
  • 3rd square:  Tree dies... I cut 3 of each size from DSP and Silver Foil.
• middle:
  • Blushing Bride ribbon (sold out).  Two 4" pieces.  Skinny tree stamped in Mint Macaron on Basic White CS and die cut, then adorned with rhinestones
  • MERRY CHRISTMAS die cut with Playful Alphabet Dies using Polished Pink CS
• bottom row:
  • 1st square:  Blushing Bride CS behind tree die cut with Scalloped Contour Dies.  Tree stamped in Mint Macaron on Basic White CS.  Tree detail die cut on Silver Foil
  • 2nd square:  adhered a Wonder Snowflake (so pretty with them being iridescent)
  • 3rd square:  used Stitched Rectangle dies to cut Blushing Bride and Basic White CS.  Stamped words in Mint Macaron

I adhered most of the decorative trees, labels, words with Dimensionals and also added Basic Rhinestones where I felt they would fit.  I hope you like this project as much as I do!  

Next let's buzzzz on over to see what Dana Davis has in store for everyone.  Don't forget you can buzzzz on back to see Linda Bauwin's design!
