Hi Stampers. Yesterday I featured a card made with the Delicate Dahlias stamp set. CLICK HERE to see that card. The Delicate Dahlias stamp set is a level two Sale-a-bration freebie, great for two step stamping. While yesterday’s card was made with standard CS and ink, today’s card is stepped up a bit, using silver foil and heat embossing.
My card starts with a Gorgeous Grape card base 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″. This is followed by a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of the Mercury Glass Acetate adhered with glue dots, hidden under the silver parts. Next up is a 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ layer of Silver Foil adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The stamping was done on a 3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″ layer of Basic White CS. The large Dahlia from the Delicate Dahlias stamp set was stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink. The leaves were stamped in Smokey Slate ink. Next, I added the detailed stamps, stamped in Versamark ink over the top. Silver embossing powder was added to the top, tapped off and heat set with the Heat Tool. The sentiment, also from the Delicate Dahlias stamp set, is stamped in the lower left corner in Gorgeous Grape ink. A few Basic Rhinestone Jewels scattered about finish it off.
Inside the card is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Basic White CS. The sentiment, from Delicate Dahlias, is stamped in the center in Gorgeous Grape ink. The small flowers (also in the Delicate Dahlias stamp set) were stamped in the corners in Gorgeous Grape ink.

Hi Stampers. As we close in on the end of our mid year Sale-a-bration, I would like to showcase the Delicate Dahlias stamp set. The Delicate Dahlias stamp set is a level two Sale-a-bration freebie, great for two step stamping.
My card starts with a Coastal Cabana card base 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″. This is followed by a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of the Mercury Glass Acetate adhered with glue dots, hidden under the silver parts. Next up is a 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ layer of Basic Gray CS adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The stamping was done on a 3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″ layer of Basic White CS. The large Dahlia from the Delicate Dahlias stamp set was stamped in Coastal Cabana ink. While this did look gorgeous all by itself, I added the detailed Dahlia stamp, stamped in Basic Gray ink over the top. The leaves were stamped in Smokey Slate ink and the detail to the leaves was stamped in Basic Gray ink. The sentiment, also from the Delicate Dahlias stamp set, is stamped in the lower left corner in Coastal Cabana ink. A few Basic Rhinestone Jewels in the center finish it off.
Inside the card is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Basic White CS. The sentiment, from Delicate Dahlias, is stamped in the center in Coastal Cabana ink. The small flowers (also in the Delicate Dahlias stamp set) were stamped in the corners in Coastal Cabana and Basic Gray ink. We made this card during a class last week and the ladies loved it. Come back tomorrow for a stepped up version of this card.

Hi Stampers. For last months Pals Blog Hop, I featured a landscaped book binding card made with the Birds & Branches stamp set. I had paired it with the Hand Penned Designer Series Paper to make a cheery spring card. CLICK HERE to see that post.
Today, I am pairing the same Birds & Branches stamp set with the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series paper to make a peaceful autumn card. This card is also a book binding card, but this one is portrait orientation, rather than the previous landscape.
The Mossy Meadow card base is 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″ and 5-1/4″ and folded in half at the 4-1/4″ score line (the additional score line is on the front of the card. On that 1″ section on the left side, I added a 3/4″ x 5-1/4″ strip of the Beauty of the Earth DSP. For the right side of the card front, I cut a 3″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Very Vanilla CS. Using the Birds & More Dies, I die cut the circle (with foliage) out of the top part of this layer and backed it with a 3″ x 3″ layer of the Beauty of the Earth DSP. This is then attached to the card front.
The next step on my book binding card was to wrap linen thread around the 1″ section on the left and then use glue to adhere this section to the inside of the card. This creates my book binding. Some additional foliage was die cut from Garden Green CS, using the same Birds & More Dies. The bird is stamped in Pale Papaya and Soft Suede inks and then die cut out. These two pieces are adhered to the bottom part of the circle opening (as shown in photo – the foliage adhered with liquid glue and the bird with a Stampin’ Dimensional).
Finally, I stamped the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink onto a scrap of Very Vanilla CS and punched it out using the Double Oval Punch. Also using the Double Oval Punch, I punched a scalloped circle of Mossy Meadow CS. These two are adhered together with liquid glue and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Inside my book binding card is a 3″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Very Vanilla CS with a 1/4″ strip of the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper.

Hi Stampers. Happy Monday and happy day before a new catalog! I don’t know about you, but the launch of a new catalog always gets me excited! So be sure to come back tomorrow. As for today, i have a Pansy Patch card similar to the one I showed you on Friday. While Friday’s card was portrait style, this is a similar card in landscape style. CLICK HERE to see Friday’s card.
Note: our new mini catalog goes live TOMORROW! Now is the time to purchase your product share. (see link below).
This card starts with a Fresh Freesia card base, 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″. Next up is a 4″ x 1-1/2″ and a 4″ x 4″ piece of Pansy Petals DSP. Covering the seam between the two pieces of DSP is a strip of Gorgeous Grape CS that has been die cut using the Basic Borders Dies.
The sentiment, from the Pansy Patch stamp set, is stamped in Fresh Freesia ink onto Basic Whie CS. Using the Double Oval punch, I punched out the sentiment and then a scalloped oval of Gorgeous Grape. The two are adhered to each other with Stampin’ Seal and adhered to card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A bumblebee trinket, adhered with a glue dot, adds a bit of whimsy.
On the inside layer, I stamped the sentiment, also from the Pansy Patch stamp set, in Highland Heather ink. The pansy is stamped in Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather, Bumblebee, Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen. The flower was stamped first and then “masked” by another flower (stamped on a posted it note and cut out) before stamping the leaves.

Hi Stampers. Last month showed you how to make this double gatefold card using the Hydrangea Hill DSP (CLICK HERE to see that card), this time I am using the Artistic Impressions DSP.
Note: our new mini catalog goes live August 3rd, next week! Now is the time to purchase your product share. (see link below).
This card started out with a piece of Basic White CS 5-1/2″ x 12″, scored at 2″, 4″, 8″ and 10″. It is decorated in Pale Papaya and Old Olive colors with the Expressions in Ink Suite.
The card has a 1″ x 10″ belly band in Basic White CS with a 3/4″ x 10″ of Expressions in Ink DSP. It wraps around the card and attaches to itself in the back so it can slide off and slide back on.
Here you an see the card and belly band separately.
The angle is created by making a mark on each side at 2-3/4″ and then using the Paper Trimmer to cut from that mark to the score line, as shown above.
Cutting the DSP for the angled sides was more tricky that it should have been for me. So, I used Window Sheets to create templates to make it super easy. All I had to do was cut the DSP into 2″ strips and then use these templates to cut the angle at the top in the right spot. I am keeping this for all future double gatefold cards like this I make in the future.
In the center of the card is a 3-3/4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Pale Papaya CS, followed by a 3-1/2″ x 5″ layer of Basic White CS with a 1/4″ strip of Expressions in Ink DSP.
The sentiment from the Artistically Inked stamp set is stamped in the center of the double gatefold card in Pale Papaya ink.
I’m just thrilled with how pretty it came out!

Hi Stampers. As you know, I’m currently on vacation. This is a box of San Francisco Giants (SF Giants) Thank You and Happy Birthday cards in a gift box that I made for the friend I am staying with.
This handmade box easily holds three Thank You and three Happy Birthday SF Giants cards with envelopes.
The SF Giants baseball themed gift box is made in two parts and one slides over the other.
The card starts with a Basic Black card base 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″, followed by a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Very Vanilla. Next up is a 1-1/4″ x 5-1/4″ strip of Pumpkin Pie CS and a 1″ x 5-1/4″ strip of Very Vanilla.
I stamped “thank you” in Memento Black ink onto that Very Vanilla strip, adhered it to the Pumpkin Pie strip and adhered the two the card front using Stampin’ Seal. Using the Hat Builder Dies, I die cut the hat from Basic Black CS and the stars from Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie CS (with Adhesive Sheet on the back). The S & F were die cut from Pumpkin Pie CS (with Adhesive Sheet on the back) using the Playful Alphabet Dies.
Inside this card I stamped the “You’re the Best” sentiment from the Hats Off stamp set in Pumpkin Pie ink.
This card is basically the same, only this time I stamped “Happy Birthday” (from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set) in Memento Black ink.
I placed three stars because I’ve been told (by those more artistic than me) to add those types of elements in odd numbers.
This time, I stamped this sentiment (from the Lighthearted Lines stamp set) in Pumpkin Pie ink on the inside layer.
The SF Giants box is decorated with the Hostess Only Pattern Party Designer Series Paper, followed by a 1″ strip of Pumpkin Pie CS. For the focal point I used the Layering Circle Dies to die cut a Basic Black scalloped circle and a Basic White straight circle. To this I added a small baseball cap (die cut with the Hat Builder Dies out of Pumpkin Pie CS) and some elements from the Batter Up! Paper Pumpkin kit. The baseball on top is added using Stampin’ Dimensionals to make it kind of appear as if it’s been it by the bat. (Note: to learn to make the box – watch my YouTube video below).
I think my friend is really going to like these cards. Might even need to make a set for my daughter, who is also a HUGE SF Giants fan!
