My Hero, Stampin Up, masculine hand stamped card

My Hero Masculine Card

Posted on by Josee

Hello! 

color-21642_640It's Remembrance Day today, always a bit of a sombre day as we remember all those who have fought to keep our country free. So grateful to live in this country 🙂 

Today's card felt like an appropriate card for today- of course it could be for anyone who fits the bill, perhaps even a Father's Day card. This card features the My Hero stamp set– on page 209 of the Stampin' Up 2016-2017 Annual Catalogue. Not only is this stamp set full of versatile stamps for various occasions and coordinates with several framelits die sets, the purchase of this stamp set helps support Ronald McDonald House Charities! 

My Hero, Stampin Up, masculine hand stamped card

How To Make It: 

Using the Lucky Stars Textured Impressions Embossing folder and the Big Shot, emboss the Smoky Slate cardstock base.

Adhere the Night of Navy cardstock piece to the front of the card base. Adhere the striped Neutrals Designer Series Paper to the center of the Night of Navy piece.

Stamp the 'You are My #1 Hero' image from the My Hero stamp set on Whisper White cardstock in Night of Navy ink and punch out using the Best Badge punch.

From a scrap of Night of Navy cardstock, punch one banner from the Duet Banner punch (the punch has two banners; use the simple one). Then cut the banner in half and then flip one piece over so you have two little banners that will adhere to the bottom of the Hero image.

Adhere the two little banner pieces to the back of the Hero badge piece using Glue Dots. Put several Stampin' Dimensionals on the back (as well as on the little banners).

Using the Banner Triple punch, punch banner ends in a ¾” X 3 ½” strip of Night of Navy cardstock. Adhere to the front of the card. Then, adhere the badge piece to the front of the card.

Finally, adhere three Regals Enamel Shape stars randomly on the card front.

Merriest Wishes stamp set, Cupcake Cutouts Framelits, Stampin Up, by StampingJo

Merriest Wishes Christmas Card

Posted on by Josee

Good Morning!

Today's card is a Christmas card featuring the Merries Wishes stamp set combined with the Time of Year hostess stamp set and Cupcake Cutout Thinlits. 

Merriest Wishes stamp set, Cupcake Cutouts Framelits, Stampin Up, by StampingJo

How To Make It: 

This card starts with a Pool Party cardstock cardbase. Then a layer of Fancy Frost Designer Series Paper was added-I used the diagonal stripes but you could use any of the gorgeous embossed patterns available in the specialty pack.

Then, on Whisper White cardstock, the ornamental circles from the Merriest Wishes stamp set were stamped using various colors of ink: Pool Party, Sweet Sugarplum and Dapper Denim. 

Each of the stamped circle images was then punched out using coordinating sizes of circle punches:  ¾” Circle Punch, 1 ¼” Circle Punch and the 1 ¾” Circle Punch.

With Dapper Denim ink on Whisper White cardstock, stamp the 'Christmas' banner and use the Bunch of Banners Framelits to cut it out.

Use Sweet Sugarplum cardstock to die cut the 'wish' using the Cupcake Cutout Thinlits dies. It will help to have the Precision Plate and Die Brush for this die cut.

A strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive was placed on the bottom quarter of the card, the protective layer peeled off and then the Sweet Sugarplum Glitter Ribbon was added on, carefully pleating the end of the strip of ribbon (as shown).Merriest Wishes, Cupcake Cutout Thinlits, Christmas Card by StampingJo

Then, start adhering the stamped & punched circles to the cardfront, using SNAIL Adhesive and Stampin' Dimensionals to add some depth to some of the circles.

Adhere the die cut 'WISH' using the Fine Tip Glue Pen. Then add a Rhinestone Basic Jewel to dot the 'i'. Add a few more rhinestones to the cardfront. 

Finally, add the stamped/die cut Christmas Banner using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Detailed Floral Thinlits Golden Anniversary Card

Posted on by Josee

Hello! 

A friend of mine needed a card for a very special anniverary in her family- a 50th wedding anniversary! Can you believe it? 50 years together! How wonderful! So, today's card is a gorgeous card that we came up with that is a perfect golden anniversary card for a very special anniversary! We used the Detailed Floral Thinlits and the Floral Phrases stamp set to create this card.

Floral Phrases, Detailed Floral Thinlits, 50th Anniversary Card, Congratulations card, Stampin Up, StampingJo.com

How To Make It: 

This card starts with a cardbase of Whisper White Thick cardstock. Then the Detailed Floral Thinlits Dies were used to cut the Gold Foil Sheet for the bottom of the card- using the Precision Base Plate and Die Brush is super helpful for these precision die cuts! The Fine Tip Glue Pen was used to adhere the die cut to the cardbase.

The Rhinestones Basics Jewels were colored using the Gold Wink of Stella– then heat set with the Heat Tool. Once dry, they were placed along the top of the floral die cut.

Use the banner label from the Project Life Cards and Labels Framelits to die cut some Whisper White cardstock. Then, use Whisper White ink (or Versamark) to stamp the sentiment from the Floral Phrases stamp set and immediately sprinkle with some Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder, then set with the Heat Tool.

Use the 1/16" Handheld Circle Punch to punch a small hole in the top of the label die cut then thread some Whisper White Baker's Twine through the hole. 

Tip: Use a needle threader to get the baker's twine through the small hole!

Inside the card, on the back of the card front, place a strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive, peel off the protective strip and then place the middle of a strand of White Organza Ribbon on the sticky strip to hold it in place, and bring the rest of the ribbon back to the front of the card. Tie the strand of Organza Ribbon once, then add a strand of Gold Sequin Trim and the Whisper White Baker's Twine with the sentiment label attached. Tie a knot in the ribbon and then tie a lovely bow, trimming off the edges of the ribbon.

A lovely sentiment was added to the inside of the card- stamped with some Basic Black ink leaving room to sign the card.
