Artisan Extra! Charming Day Card Set!

You are going to ☆ ☆ ☆ FOR SURE ☆ ☆ ☆ want to check out this fun project that I am sharing with you today!  It is an ARTISAN EXTRA project that I made using the Charming Day Bundle and Fancy Borders Dies from Stampin' Up! & was posted on their social media pages a few weeks ago.  💕  I am so excited to share this project with you!  Spoiler alert ... at the bottom of this post I have a template to share so you can easily make your own!  

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors:  Coastal Cabana, Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist, Basic White, Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Gold

Inks: Coastal Cabana, Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist, Pecan Pie, Tuxedo Black Memento, VersaMark 

Cardstock/Papers: Coastal Cabana, Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist, Thick Basic White, Basic White, Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Gold Foil Sheets, Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, Basic White Medium Envelopes

Stamps: Charming Day

Tools:  Charming Day Dies, Fancy Borders Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Damask Designs Embossing Folder, Mini Corrugated Embossing Folder, Glass & Gardens Embossing Folders, Water Painters, Heat Tool

Accessories: Basics WOW! Embossing Powder, Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder, Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, Holographic Resin Dots

Isn't she stunning!  There are so many fun details I want to share, so let's get started! 

This card holder is so easy and fun to make.  You just need ONE 8 1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock for the folder!  (Obviously more to make the cards inside!  Hee.)  And it is so easy!  Remember:  The template is posted at the end of this post that you can save so you can make your own! 

For the closure, I used a 2" x 11" cardstock strip to make a belly band.  I lay the belly band down on my surface (stamped side face down) and place the card holder on top in the middle.  Then I just fold the belly band around the folder, so the cardstock meets at the top of the folder.  I do this because once I add my focal point, you don't see the "seam" of the cardstock and it looks seamless around the whole band! 

So pretty, huh?! These gorgeous die-cuts are so easy to make also! 

A few more fun tips and explanation:

    ❀ Die-cut the floral images from Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.  Then add your color with a Water Painter or paint brush and ink.  Use more water when you want a softer color.  

    ❀ After images have dried, splatter them with an ink color that is somewhat similar to gold.  I used Pecan Pie here.  Then quickly add Gold Embossing Powder and heat set for a fun gold splatter! 

    ❀ Two-Tone Cardstock is a dream!!!  Not only do you now have two shades of each Stampin' Up! color, but I love the white core!  Run it through an embossing folder and then lightly sand to add some fun texture! 

    ❀ The gold details adds so much fancy fun!  Simply use as a mat and add some die-cuts from Gold Foil Sheet to fancy it up! 

The the fun to the cards!  I LOVE LOVE the gold detail added to this card set!  It really makes it feel so fancy!  And with the Fancy Borders Dies, it was EXTRA fun and EASY to add some detail! 

How easy and fancy, right?!  But so special!  I really love the look this gives!  Let me show you a close up shot of all the cards: 

And of COURSE ... I had to stamp the envelopes too for this project! 

Well, what do you think?  Do you want to make your own?!  I love the black & white look here with pops of color.  But obviously, you could do this HOWEVER you wanted!  And I would love to see!  😍

Now as promised ... here is the template!  And for those of you that use Metric Measurements ... I have a template with cm listed! 🤟

Sunshine Vibes Meets Textured Notes!

Have a bit of a mashup today for this card.  And spoiler ... it was a super fun card to make! 

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors:  Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam, Coastal Cabana, Basic White, Basic Beige

Inks: Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam, Coastal Cabana, VersaMark

Cardstock/Papers: Coastal Cabana, Basic White, Country Lace Designer Series Paper

Stamps: Textured Notes, Wonderful Thoughts

Tools:  Sunshine Vibes Dies, Party Banner Dies, Heat Tool

Accessories: Basics WOW! Embossing Powder, Baker's Twine Essentials Pack

A stencil made with Sunshine Vibes Dies & a stamp from Textured Notes are the main bits.  Then the sentiment is from Wonderful Thoughts. And all on a base made with the Party Banner Dies.

The stencil was made by just cutting the rainbow die from a piece of Window Sheet.  Then laying it on the cardstock you want to add ink to and use a Blending Brush to add your ink.  I just used one color here - Petal Pink - cause I wanted a subtle vibe.  

And that's about it on this card.  A really fun and easy card to make! 

This card was made for a very special person.  And I wanted to make sure she knew she truly is wonderful, loved, & matters.  I love this sentiment.  

One last look at the full card: 

Thank you so much for visiting! I hope you enjoyed this card!  Let me know if you have any questions on how I made this or how to get any of the products or anything!

How fun is this punch?!  Yeah ... I love it too!  Hee.  They were super fun to make too.  I simply watercolored a piece of Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper with Lemon Lime Twist.  Let it dry, added some splatter and punched away!

Sunrise Sailing Online Exclusive With Fancy Friday Design Team!

July was all about the Online Exclusives for us on the Fancy Friday Design Team!  Hope you followed along on Instagram! 💕 So much gorgeous inspiration!  Today I am sharing what I made ... I chose the ☆FABULOUS☆ Sunrise Sailing Bundle for this challenge! 

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors:  Pool Party, Lemon Lolly, Strawberry Splash, Peach Pie, Pecan Pie, Gray Granite, Basic White

Inks: Pool Party, Lemon Lolly, Strawberry Splash, Peach Pie, Pecan Pie, VersaMark, White Craft 

Cardstock/Papers: Pool Party, Gray Granite, Basic White, Subtles Designer Series Paper Pack (RETIRED), Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, Adhesive Sheets

Stamps: Sunrise Sailing, My Small Business

Tools:  Sunrise Sailing Hybrid Embossing Folder (this includes the dies), Perennial Postage Dies, Water Painters, Heat Tool

Accessories: Basics WOW! Embossing Powder, Baker's Twine Essentials Pack,  Iridescent Faceted Gems

This is a pretty fun challenge cause I love the Online Exclusive section of the Stampin' Up! website.  Hee.  The challenge part of it is knowing what to pick!  Haha.  

I had a lot of fun making this card.  This bundle is so much fun to work with because you have a stamp set, dies, AND a Hybrid Embossing Folder.  (The hybrid folders coordinate with the dies, so you can have your stamped images both die-cut AND embossed!)  I love love love the sailboat here! 

How pretty, right?!  Hee.  I did some watercoloring for the sailboat.  I was going for "sunset sail" when making it.  So ...

I first stamped and embossed the sailboat with white embossing powder.  Then I did some watercoloring with Peach Pie, Strawberry Slush, & Lemon Lolly for the sails.  I colored the boat with Pecan Pie.  Once it was dry, I embossed it with the hybrid folder!  I did some splatter with the White Craft Ink & then even embossed with white embossing powder over that.  I used some DSP from my stash in Pool Party for the card front & I love the detail and texture that adds.  

I am obsessed with this bird die that is in the die set as well.  HOW CUTE ARE THEY?!  😊  But I would insist that before you die-cut them, you add Adhesive Sheet behind the cardstock you are cutting from.  This makes them easy to apply stickers.  Using other adhesive for something this thin would be obvoxious.  Doing it this way was a breeze.  Maybe even an "ocean breeze."  Hee.  See what I did there?!  😉

All in all ... totally love this card & how happy it makes me when I look at it.  I have the full card posted below for one more look.  But I hope you enjoy this card and it brings a little sunshine to your day!  

Thank you so much for visiting!  Just make sure you head to the Stampin' Fancy Friday Instagram page to see what all the other designers have been sharing all month with Stampin' Up!'s Online Exclusives!  You will fall in love, I'm sure!

Nature Is My Hero ... TGIF Challenge #535!

We have a fun theme challenge going on for TGIF Challenge #535 this week! Time to honor our heros!  I took a little bit different approach for this theme challenge.  A theme challenge where I am kinda honoring another theme.  Haha.  I wanted to honor one of my biggest heros ... nature.  Nature is one of the biggest healers in my life ... whether scuba diving in the ocean or hiking a mountain, or a nature walk, to just being outside to soak up some sun and breathe fresh air, etc, etc ... she heals me.  So here's to NATURE!  You truly are the best! 😍

And the official challenge! 

This card was a lot of fun to make too.  BONUS!  Hee.  All the products I used are from Stampin' Up! I used the Spotlight on Nature Stamp Set with the Patterns of Friendship Stamp Set for the greeting.  And did some watercoloring with Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lime Twist, & Coastal Cabana.  I stamped the floral image in Secret Sea.  LOVE this color, for the record.  Hee.  

The fun little tag sticking out from the side is from the Storybook Friends Dies.  I love that little detail!  The background paper is from the Boho Vibes paper pack.  😍

Here is one last look at the full card: 

Thanks so much for visiting!  I hope you enjoy this card.  And now you can head on over to the TGIF Challenge Blog to see what the other designers made & to play along with us!  Can't wait to see what you make!
