Paper Lattice embellishments with Stampin' Up! Blessings of Home Stamp Set

                                         

  • Stampin' Up! Blessings of Home Stamp Set
  • New Beginning April 2022 Paper Pumpkin available to order by 10 April
  • 20% savings on Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine end March 31
Today I challenged myself to use one of the embellishments that I've had in my stash for several months, and finally decided to give it a try.  Its the Paper Lattice, Item # 155697 | $6.00 for a pack with 10 pieces, from the Stampin' Up Annual Catalog.  Its a beautiful detailed accent that adds a unique look to your cards.  I paired it with images and a sentiment from the Blessings of Home Stamp Set and its coordinating Flowers of Home Dies.  I created a window opening in my basecard using one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies and used the Paper Lattice behind the opening.  I stamped the largest flower from the Blessings of Home Stamp Set in Garden Green, and created a circle of Soft Sea Foarm Cardstock for the sentiment.  The basecard is Pale Papaya Cardstock and I added a 1/2" Pale Papaya and White Ribbon, Garden Green foliage die cuts and three Shaded Spruce Rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels package.

To create today's card, I used a base card of  Pale Papaya Cardstock.  Then I used a Stitched Rectangle Die, and used it to cut out an angled opening in my card front.  II inserted the Paper Lattice behind the opening and backed it with Pumkin Pie Cardstock.

Then I stamped the largest floral image from the Stampin' Up! Blessings of Home Stamp Set in Garden Green and Die cut it with the coordinating Dies from Flowers of Home dies.  I also die cut a couple of floral branches out of Garden Green using the same Dies.  I also used the Layering Circle Dies to Die cut a Soft Sea Foam circle for my sentiment, and sampled the sentiment in Garden Green ink.

I added a Pale Papaya & White 1/2" Ribbon to the card front before I added the sentiment and die cut florals.  I used three Shaded Spruce Rhones stones from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to give the card a little bling.

Need Baby Cards or Easter Cards? Stampin' Up! Easter Friends Stamp Set to the Rescue

                                        

  • Stampin' Up! Easter Friends Stamp Set
  • New Beginning April 2022 Paper Pumpkin available to order by 10 April
  • 20% savings on Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine end March 31
Bunnies will always have a special place in my heart. They are those adorable little furry creatures that manage to make anyone smile with their cute tail, and twitchy nose.  That what makes the Stampin' Up! Easter Friends Stamp Set Special.  It's a fun set for Easter, but it can also be used for cute baby card.  Today, I used three stamp sets to create these cute cards.  I used the bunny image from Easter Friends Stamp Set.  I used one of the flower bouquet images from the Stampin' Up! Jar of Flowers Stamp Set to create my background, and I used sentiments from the Celebrating You Stamp Sets.  I used Petal Pink as my Cardstock and ink colors and stamped the rabbit image and sentiments in Crumb Cake ink.  I added a cheery Petal Pink Bow of Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon.  Its a fast, easy card that will give someone you love a smile.

To create today's card, I used a base card of  Petal Pink Cardstock.  Then a layr of Basic White, and then another layer of Petal Pink Cardstock. I selected on of the flower bouquet images from the Stampin' Up! Jar of Flowers Stamp Set, and stamped the image in Petal Pink ink all over this layer of Petal Pink Cardstock.

For the main image circle, I die cut a Basic White Circle and a Petal Pink Scalloped Circle using the Layering Circles Dies.  Then I stamped the bunny image in Crumb Cake onto the Basic White circle and adhered it to the Scalloped Petal Pink circle.  Before adding the stamped bunny image, I created a bow using Petal Pink Striped Organdy RIbbon and secured it to the card.  Then, I added Dimensionals to the back of the bunny image before mounting it to the card front.

I selected sentiments from the Celebrating You Stamp Set and stamped them in Crumb Cake ink onto Basic White Cardstock.  I used the plain oval from the Double Oval Punch to punch it out. I added Dimensionals before mounting to my card front.  Then I added a few elements from the Elegant Faceted Gems to finish my card.
