Polished Pink Quiet Meadow Card using Meadow Dies from Stampin' Up!

   

  • Quiet Meadow Stamp Set and coordinating Meadow Dies
  • Hope Box Paper Pumpkin Kit - created by Shelli
  • 15% off Select Designer Series Papers until 2 August 2021
  • Kit Collections for easy crafting while home or away
I still haven't shared with you all of the beautiful swap cards I received from the Annual Catalog swap for Demonstrator's only earlier this Spring.  This card was created by Demonstrator Tina Munzke, from Crafted with Class.  It uses the Brick and Mortar 3D Embossing folder, plus the Meadow Dies, part of the Quiet Meadow Bundle.  I love the Polished Pink, Basic Black and the Basic White color combination. She added 3/8" Open Weave Polished Pink Ribbon and Matte Black Dots as accents, completing the card beautifully.


Thinking of You Greeting Card idea using Quiet Meadow Bundle from Stampin' Up!

The basecard for this card is Polished Pink.  Then a layer of Basic Black.  Then a layer of Polished Pink print from the 2021-2023 In Color 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper.  The image layer is Basic White embossed with the Brick and Mortar 3D Embossing folder.

The Meadow Dies were used to cut florals and foliage from Basic Black and Polished Pink Cardstock.  The stitched scalloped edged sentiment label is also from the Meadow Die. and the sentiment is from the Quiet Meadow Stamp Set.  Accents include the 3/8" woven Polished Pink Ribbon and the Matte Black Dots.

I created a card a while back in one of my post using this same stamp and die bundle.  I love that you can create using almost any color, and add a bit of texture and accents and you're done.  

This was one of my must-have bundles from the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  And you can save 10% by ordering the Stamp Set and Dies as a bundle using item #155847, rather than ordering the items separately.

Sweet Stockings Sneak Peek from the Stampin' Up! July - December 2021 Mini Catalog

  

  • Puppy-themed Christmas Card using Sweet Stockings Designer Series Paper
  • 15% off Select Designer Series Paper Sale - 1 July- 2 August 2021
  • Travelling?  Take along one of the new Kit Collections for easy crafting while away
Oh my!  My July-December 2021 Mini Catalog arrived and I'm obsessed with this darling dog from the Sweet Stockings Designing Series Paper.  I just had to create a card featuring this happy face!  Yes, I know its a little early to start showing Christmas cards, but why wait until the last minute when all of these new fall and holiday products will be available for customers to purchase beginning 3 August.  Demonstrators are able to preorder Mini Catalog items early, and I love taking advantage of these early purchase options.  I'm also using the new Gold Shimmer ribbon which works well with the Crumb Cake basecard as well as the coloring of this happy pup.  Just try not to grin when you look at the smile on this dog's face.  
Handmade Christmas Card using Stampin' Up! Sweet Stockings Designer Series Paper



The basecard for this card is Crumb Cake.  Then a die cut layer of either Cherry Cobbler or Evening Evergreen die cut using the Scalloped Contours Dies.  I couldn't decide which of those two colors worked the best, so I created a card using each.  I liked them both!
 
Golden Retriever-themed handmade greeting card using Stampin' Up! Sweet Stockings Designer Series Paper


I used another die from the Scalloped Contours Dies to die cut the pup image from the Sweet Stocking 12 X 12" Designer Series Paper.  The background paper already included the gold stars and the stitched, scalloped boarder was created by the die.   
Two dog-themed Christmas Cards using Stampin' Up! Sweet Stockings Designer Series Paper



I added a Gold Shimmer Ribbon (Item 156470) bow, another new item from the July-December 2021 Mini catalog, and I stamped a sentiment in Cherry Cobbler from the Tidings & Trimmings Stamp Set form the Annual Catalog.  The sentiment label is die cut from Basic White using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.



Craft items used to create dog-themed Christmas Cards


You can see where I cut out the two pups from the 12 X 12 Sweet Stocking Designer Series Paper (item #1156281) , plus the beautiful Gold Shimmer Ribbon (item 156470), which will both be available 3 August for customers to order.  Customers who have ordered from me during the past 6 months will receive copies of the upcoming July- December 2021 Mini Catalog later this month so you can begin your Shopping List to be ready for 3 August ordering.  I know you're anxious to get started on your Fall and Holiday projects, and I hope today's card provides a bit of fun inspiration!
