Big Shot - Embossing Folders

Blended Season flower card with Swirls & Curls embossing folder

 

Sneak Peek!!  Swirls & Curls embossing folder coming on Sept. 5, 2018 in the Stampin' UP! Holiday catalog!!  (don't miss it on pg 5, #147923!!).  I paired it up with the limited-time Blended Season bundle floral stamp, stitched die cut, and Watercolor pencil assortment #2 pack!

Did you see my recent post (here) about coloring with your watercolor pencils, then blending the color with the Wink of Stella pen?  It works great and gives you such beautiful shimmer while blending your coloring!!  I used that technique on the flower image above.

Below:  I colored on the Petal Pink rhinestones (#146914) with my Stampin' Blends markers to better coordinate the colors with my project.  Thanks to my team member Gloria for this great idea!

 

Tip! color the pink rhinestones with any Stampin' Up! Stampin' Blends marker to alter the color and match your card or craft project!!  tip from Patty Bennett, www.PattyStamps.com

I embossed the Swirls & Curls embossing folder image with Granny Apple Green cardstock, layered it onto Pineapple Punch cardstock and onto a Thick Whisper White folded card base. 

Add this Swirls & Curls Embossing folder to your HOLIDAY CATALOG WISH LIST!

The greeting is found in the Botanical Bliss stamp set, pg 20 in the Annual catalog, #146612.

Rooted in Nature Watercolor Technique

 

I am sharing 2 versions of this lovely card with you today, featuring the Rooted in Nature stamp set, Wood Textures designer paper, Woodland embossing folder, and a super easy watercolor technique!!

 

Stampin' UP! Rooted in Nature card idea, featuring Wood Textures designer paper and Woodland embossing folder background. By Patty Bennett, www.PattyStamps.com

 

To create this tree image, I colored with my Early Espresso and my Mossy Meadow Stampin' Write markers right onto the rubber, then spritzed the rubber with water before stamping onto the Wood Textures designer paper.

The beautiful tree on these cards is spritzed with water before stamping, and as you can see by the photo below, depending on how much water you spritz on the stamp, you can achieve different "watercolor" looks!

 

Watercolor spritzer technique: Stampin' UP! Rooted in Nature card idea, featuring Wood Textures designer paper and Woodland embossing folder background. By Patty Bennett, www.PattyStamps.com

I created 2 different styles of this card, and it just happened to work out that it creates 3 cards because of the way I cut the 6x6 Wood Textures paper.  I cut off a 2" wide strip first, then cut the 4" x 6" piece into two 3" x 4" pieces.  I was able to use all 3 pieces to make 3 cards!

Dimensions for cutting the 6x6 paper stack to create 3 Stampin' UP! Rooted in Nature cards, featuring Wood Textures designer paper and Woodland embossing folder background. By Patty Bennett, www.PattyStamps.com

 

The Wood Textures 6x6 designer paper stack includes several different wood grain patterns in different wood tones.  I used most of the lighter ones in the cards I created.   You can stamp right onto it like I did with the tree image.

I also stamped the leaf trio stamp from the Rooted in Nature set with Mossy Meadow ink onto Old Olive cardstock and die cut them for accents on these cards.  Rooted in Nature is from the 2018-2019 Annual Stampin' Up! catalog, pg 143 and may be purchased just as a stamp set, or in a 10% off money-saving bundle with the matching framelit dies.

The "wonderful" greeting is found in the Rooted in Nature set and stamped in Mossy Meadow ink, and the "grateful" greeting is found in a set called A Big Thank You from the 2018-2018 Annual catalog, pg 132 (#147377) and is stamped in Shaded Spruce ink.

 

Stampin' UP! Rooted in Nature card idea, featuring Wood Textures designer paper and Woodland embossing folder background. By Patty Bennett, www.PattyStamps.com

 

The Grateful greeting is stamped onto a die cut from the Stitched Label framelit dies (#146828).

The background of each card is a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Very Vanilla cardstock embossed with the Woodland embossing folder.

The card base is Mossy Meadow, cut to 5-1/2" x 11" and folded in half at the top.

Each card has some Linen Thread, either tied around it or in a bow.  I thought it added a nice "natural" touch.

 I sure hope you enjoyed these cards today!!!  You can shop for all of the supplies at the bottom of this blog post. Click any product photo to go right to my online Stampin' Up! store.

Blended Season Stamp Set Thank You Card idea

 

I love this gorgeous new LIMITED TIME offer bundle from Stampin' Up!: Blended Season stamp set and coordinating Stitched Season framelit dies!   I also LOVE the amazing samples I've seen online, but I needed over 100 thank you cards, so I had to make something quick!!

Blended Season Limited Time offer bundle from Stampin' UP! August 2018.  Card with Tufted embossing folder background by Patty Bennett, www.PattyStamps.com

 

I knew I wanted to use the gorgeous Tufted embossing folder in the background, so I embossed a ton of those first with Rich Razzleberry cardstock and I die cut all of the Whisper White Stitched Season framelits and stamped them in Berry Burst.

The base cards are all Thick Whisper White cardstock. I adhered the Tufted embossed layer with Multipurpose liquid glue, then wrapped Ruffled Berry Burst Ribbon around each one.

 

Blended Season Limited Time offer bundle from Stampin' UP! August 2018.  Card with Tufted embossing folder background by Patty Bennett, www.PattyStamps.com

Since I really couldn't decide which design idea I liked best, I made a bunch!

Blended Season Limited Time offer bundle from Stampin' UP! August 2018.  Card with Tufted embossing folder background by Patty Bennett, www.PattyStamps.com

I tried out a vertical orientation...

I tried out Powder Pink instead of Rich Razzleberry...

And I also tried out a Berry Burst die cut layer behind the stamped flower die cut..

I liked them all, and especially love the Tufted embossing folder background and die cut layer of Petal Promenade designer paper!  I finished each one off with some Glitter Enamel dots.

The Tufted Embossing Folder is available in my online store HERE.

Graceful Glass Vellum coloring tutorial / video

 Today we are going to chat about coloring tips and other great tips for creating handmade cards featuring the Stampin' UP! Graceful Glass vellum, and Stampin' Blends markers!  The vellum has all the designs already printed on the sheets, and I've colored them with the Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. (watch the video below in this post for more info).

The card below also featured the Garden Trellis embossing folder background on Gorgeous Grape cardstock!

Please enjoy this VIDEO TUTORIAL with lots of vellum tips!

 

If you are unable to view the video, please click HERE to view it on my YouTube Channel

 

 As I mentioned in the video above.. did you see the amazing difference between placing a colored piece of cardstock or a white piece of cardstock behind the colored vellum!?  Wow!!

I know I've mentioned this before, but it's worth repeating... to adhere your vellum to the cardstock without any glue lines or spots showing, simply dab some Multipurpose glue with a Stampin' Sponge onto the cardstock piece, then lay the vellum down... press, and voila... perfect seal and no "glue lines" :)

Multipurpose glue tip for adhering vellum to cardstock without any glue lines showing!!!

 

There are 12 different patterns preprinted on the Graceful Glass vellum. I am showcasing one of them today!

Below: check out the very different looks you can achieve with the Graceful Glass vellum, depending on your color choices with the Stampin' Blends markers and also the color of cardstock you place behind the vellum!!

Graceful Glass Vellum Stained Glass card ideas

 Have you fallen in love with the Graceful Glass Suite of Stampin' UP! products on pages 164 / 165 in your new catalog!?  I have!  I really enjoyed coloring this Graceful Glass vellum with the Stampin' Blends markers!

Stampin' Up! Graceful Glass suite: Painted Glass stamp set, Graceful Glass Vellum and Stained Glass thinlits. Card ideas colored with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers by Patty Bennett, www.PattyStamps.com

 

You may remember I asked you to Vote on Facebook and Instagram for your favorite color combo (shown below).  I colored the back side of the Graceful Glass Vellum with Stampin' Blends markers.  After I posted the 4 colored options, I cut the 6x6 vellum piece into 1/4ths and made them into the 4 cards above!  I am pretty sure that #4 was the overall favorite, and I'm wondering now that you have seen the 4 cards I made with them, is that still the fave?

You'll find this amazing pre-printed vellum on page 165 and also on page 188.

Painted Glass - Stained Glass Window Cards

 

Sneak Peek!

I have mailed out the new 2018-2019 Stampin' UP! catalogs to all of my regular customers, and I'm THRILLED at your responses so far!  You are loving this new catalog!!  One suite you'll find in the new catalog is called Graceful Glass, on pages 164 and 165.  I created these lovely "stained glass" cards using that suite!

Don't have a new catalog yet? Let me know! leave me a comment or email me: [email protected]

Painted Glass / Stained Glass cards featuring Stampin' UP! vellum and Stampin' Blends markers.  Cards by Patty Bennett, www.PattyStamps.com

The star of the show in this suite is the Graceful Glass Vellum.. OH My Goodness, it's gorgeous!  I used my Stampin' Blends markers to color the back of the vellum, then layered it onto Whisper White cardstock to really make the colors pop!

To accent the cards, I stamped the rose and butterfly images from the Painted Glass set with Memento Black ink onto Whisper White cardstock, and colored those with Stampin' Blends and highlighted them with Wink of Stella so they sparkle and shine!

Above: I used the new amazing Lovely Lipstick cardstock for this card base, and stamped the greeting from the Painted Glass stamp set in Memento black ink.  I also layered a strip of the Graceful Glass vellum down the left side of the card.  The dainty white diamond shaped trim is from the Delightfully Detailed designer paper pack, pg 189 in the new 2018-2019 catalog.

Above: I embossed the new Pineapple Punch cardstock with the Layered Leaved embossing folder and layered that onto a piece of Grapefruit Grove cardstock, then onto a Thick Whisper White top fold card.  The greeting from the Painted Glass stamp set in Memento black ink.  The rose and butterfly images from the Painted Glass set are stamped with Memento Black ink onto Whisper White cardstock, and colored with Stampin' Blends and highlighted them with Wink of Stella so they sparkle and shine!

I have been meaning to share these cards with you for months!!  I am excited to share these 2 amazing cards created by my Stampin' Up! upline, Sandy Hancock.  She sent them to me several months ago, celebrating my Stampin' UP! sales, and yearly achievements!  I was ranked #3 in the U.S. and #3 in the world for overall stats!! I was amazed and feel so blessed that I am able to work from home as a Stampin' UP! demonstrator, sharing my love of color, crafting and design with you through my blog and other social media outlets!!  It's an AMAZING job!!

 

Make a statement with the Stampin' UP! Large Letter Alphabet framelits for your personalized cards!  BRAVO die cut with Silver Glimmer paper, and handmade envelope created with Silver Foil paper embossed with the Layered Leaves embossing folder.

 

The BRAVO card above was created using Silver Glimmer paper, Silver Foil Sheets, and the beautiful Fabulous Foils Designer Acetate sheets.  The letters are die cut out of the Silver Glimmer paper using the Large Letter Alphabet framelits and added to the card with Adhesive Strips.  You could also use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. 

AND what's double cool about this card is the handmade envelope... check it out... Silver Foil paper embossed with the Layered Leaves embossing folder!!! OH MY!!

Make a statement with the Stampin' UP! Large Letter Alphabet framelits for your personalized cards!  Painted Harvest sunflowers stamped with Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight ink.

Above: This card was stamped first with the Painted Harvest stamp set, then she die cut my name out of the card and raised the letters with Adhesive Strips.  You could also use Mini Stampin' dimesionals, before layering it onto Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight cardstock!

Both of the card measure 3-3/4" x 7-1/4".

Lovely Floral Embossing Folder Card Idea

New Catalog Sneak Peeks!

One of the wonderful new products in the Stampin' Up! Share What You Love suite bundles is the Lovely Floral Embossing folder!! Even "white on white" this embossed image is gorgeous!!!

Lovely Floral embossing folder flower card featuring Stampin' UP! Share What You Love suite supplies and 2018-2020 In Colors, by Patty Bennett

I used my new 2018-2020 In Color Markers to color the floral image for this card.  The image is part of the Petal Passion Memories & More card pack which is now sold out.  It was on the retiring list and it's gone, but you can easily stamp and color any floral image to recreate the look on this card.

Party Hat birthday card ideas

Hip Hip Hooray, it's a birthday celebration, with these festive Berry Burst party hat birthday cards! I took my color combo idea from the Tutti Frutti self adhesive sequins for these cards and created a pretty, and bright rainbow of birthday cards!  Each card features a piece of Springtime Foils Sale-a-Bration paper in the background on a card base of folded Thick Whisper White cardstock.

 

Birthday Card Ideas featuring Stampin' UP! Celebrate You stamp set and Tutti Frutti sequins, by Patty Bennett

You might remember my Chocolate, Vanilla & Strawberry birthday cake cards featuring the Celebrate You stamp set from Stampin' UP! (in this blog post)... those cards were created with the same stamp set.  You'll find Celebrate You in the current 2017-2018 Annual Stampin' Up! catalog on pg 72.

 Looking for those fun Tutti Frutti sequins?  Find them on pg 29 in the 2018 Occasions catalog, or #145609 here online.

Birthday Card Idea featuring Stampin' UP! Celebrate You stamp set and Springtime Foil background paper, by Patty Bennett

 

Above: I sponged Bermuda Bay ink on the Springtime Foils paper in the background.. love this fun color combo!

Each card features bright, fun Stampin' Up! colors, and the party hats were each stamped in 2 colors, and I cut out the "pom pom" topper to add to the hat with Stampin' Dimensionals.

 

Birthday Card Ideas featuring Stampin' UP! Celebrate You stamp set and Tutti Frutti sequins, by Patty Bennett

 

I also used a Stitched Shape Whisper White oval and scalloped oval die cut on each card, either behind the hat, or for the stamped greeting.

The card above has a piece of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock embossed with the Polka Dots basic embossing folder for a pop of fun!

Some of the cards feature the Berry Burst metallic edge ribbon and Tutti Frutti sequins. 

The card below was sponged with ink on the Springtime Foils paper.. see more info HERE for that technique.

Peter and Patty I hope you are inspired to create a handstamped birthday card for someone you love!! 

Last week was my little brother's birthday, so Happy Birthday, Peter!!  I can only call him "little" because he's 3 years younger... he's a LOT taller than I am.

He's also really awesome :)

Embossing folder backgrounds - Sweet Soiree card ideas

Sometimes I forget to use my embossing folders, but I should use them more often! They add great texture and interest to handmade cards and crafts!  I decided to get out 3 of them, Garden Trellis, Simple Stripes, and Polka Dot Basics, and I embossed a piece of Berry Burst Cardstock with each of them.   Then, I added a cut out piece from the Sweet Soiree Memories & More card pack (a free Sale-a-Bration 2018 item!) and created cards with them!

  

Sweet Soiree Memories & More card idea featuring Stampin' UP! embossing folders, by Patty Bennett

 

Each of these card bases is created with a piece of the Sweet Soiree Designer paper, cut to 4-1/4" x 11" and folded in half (side fold card).  Since this designer paper is pretty thick, it stands up to being a card base all by itself!  Then I added the floral pieces I cut out from the Sweet Soiree Memories & More pack, and a couple elements from the Sweet Soiree embellishment kit... done!

 

Sweet Soiree Memories & More birthday card idea featuring Stampin' UP! Polka Dot Basic embossing folder and Perennial Birthday stamp set, by Patty Bennett

 

I added a stamped birthday greeting from the Perennial Birthday stamp set on the card above.  I know the polka dot background is hard to see in the photo, but it's cute in person!

 

Sweet Soiree Embellishment kit Washi Tape from  Stampin' UP!. Card by Patty Bennett

 

Since I was using the Sweet Soiree Embellishment kit for these cards, I decided to use the washi tape from that kit inside the cards, as well as the 1" strip I cut off from the 12x12 to make the card bases!!  I added a piece of Whisper White cardstock to the inside as well, since the paper has patterns on both sides and it would be hard to write on the inside!

 

REMINDER!

There are only 3 weeks left to get this 72 piece Memories and More card pack FREE!  See page 11 of the Sale-a-Bration brochure for more details and ideas!  Select it as your free item when you place a $50 or more order in my online store here.

After I stamped the hello greeting from the Hello Friend stamp set, I used my Basic Black Stampin' Write marker to "shadow" the left and bottom side of each letter... that takes me back about 45 years to doing that same thing in Jr. High.. anyone else remember doing that?
