Stampin’ Up! Simply Succulents Again!

Posted on February 10, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I said I would be playing with the Simply Succulents Bundle again, so the card I have for you today features that gorgeous all-over background die-cut again! I cut it from Basic White card stock, and it cut like butter and all of those little pieces fell out with hardly any poking at all! I used my newest machine, the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine!

I added a thin strip of Ornate Garden Designer Series paper, then cut out the greeting with another of the Potted Succulents dies. All it needed was one single rhinestone for a little sparkle.

The inside sentiment is also from Simply Succulents.

Simply Succulents Bundle	Simply Succulents Cling Stamp Set	Potted Succulents Dies
Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper	Rhinestone Basic Jewels	Whisper White 1/4" (6.4 Mm) Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon

Stampin’ Up! Touch of Ink Accordion Fun Fold!

Posted on January 12, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have an easy Accordion Fun Fold to share with you! I used the Sale-a-bration $100 spend stamp set, A Touch of Ink. You can't buy it, but you can choose it as your free gift when you spend $100 before tax & shipping.

For this first card I combined Touch of Ink with a Sale-a-bration $50 spend freebie, Paper Blooms Designer Paper:

I stamped the butterfly outline with Tuxedo Black ink, then added Seaside Spray with the coordinating image from the set. I added Highland Heather ink with a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to add sparkle and color all at once!

The accordion fold pulls out to reveal the inside sentiment:

I used the same Seaside Spray base with another Paper Blooms print, Rococo Rose and Seaside Spray here:

I created this for a swap:

I embossed this one's front panel with Meadow Moments "mini" embossing folder. "Mini" fits through the Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine.

After embossing I pressed my Versamark ink pad on the layer, sprinkled with Clear Embossing Powder and embossed with my Heat Tool to get the glossy look.

Here is a tutorial with dimensions to make these fun cards:
