Go to Greeting Birthday Banner Card

I had my eye of the #158763 Go to Greetings stamp set since the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog debuted. I ordered it during the 24-hour stamp sale, and it arrived quicker than I thought it would! I was so excited to get it in the mail that I sat down to create cards right away. Today's birthday card is one of the ideas I knew I wanted to make first!

 

The largest greeting stamp size makes a bold, slightly more formal look for this birthday card. The font style is thick enough to make a clear impression when heat embossed. I also used the embossing buddy to double ensure that no stray embossing powder heat set on the Polished Pink cardstock just in case. The lettering embossed neatly and each of the letters are crisp and legible.

I first arranged the banners along the bottom half of the card front. Once I was happy with the placement, I added Stampin' Seal to the bottom half of the back of the Polished Pink greeting piece. I carefully placed the Polished Pink greeting piece on top of the banners to adhere them in place all at the same time. I totally held my breath during that step! Lol! Next I added liquid glue to the back and adhered it to the card front.

 

Inside the card I added a piece of pink plaid paper from the Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack and a narrow piece of Polished Pink cardstock to cover the DSP seam and for an extra pop of pink.

You can also see in the photo above that only the tops of the banners are adhered to the card front. This adds a bit of whimsy and movement to the card.

 

Below are the measurements and supply list to recreate this Go to Greetings banner birthday card. If you need supplies to recreate this card, please, shop my online store HERE.

 

Measurements

• Card Base: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" (Thick Basic White Cardstock)
• Greeting: 1-3/8" x 5-1/2" (Polished Pink Cardstock)

• Inside DSP Strip: 1/2" x 5-1/2" (Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper (DSP))

Treelined Landscape Display Panel Fun Fold Thanksgiving Card

I was excited to try this new to me fun fold! It is called the Landscape Display Panel Card and was made by fellow Stampin' Up! demonstator Heidi Smith based on the portrait version made by fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator Susan Campfield. Susan called her card a freestanding floating panel card.

This fun fold card can stand up on its own, making it an idea display card! You can see from the overhead view photo below that there are three panel areas - a smaller panel in the front, a larger panel behind it, and a center panel across the back of the card base.

For my landscape display panel card, I envisioned a tree lined forest scene with leaves changing to reds, oranges, and yellows with just a touch of gold embossing powder. I used the tree stamps from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set to make the row of trees across each of the panels. The grass is made by lightly swirling Garden Green ink along the bottom of the panels. I wanted the emphasis to be on the tree leaves and the greeting.

The gold embossing powder adds a bright metallic shine that pairs well with the brilliant red, orange, and yellow of the trees' leaves. The embossing powder also embellishes the card without adding extra bulk to this already thick fun fold card.

This fun fold card does fit in a A2 envelope and does fold flat. However, this fun fold is bulky because of the scoring and the layers of panels. I don't recommend adding too many 3 dimensional embellishments to your card to avoid having to purchase a special gusseted envelope.

There is plenty of room on the back of the card to write a special message. I repeated the trees growing together from the center front of the card to the back of the card.

Below are the measurements and the supply list for my landscape display panel Thanksgiving card. If you need supplies to recreate this card, please, shop my online store HERE.

• Card Base: 4-1/8" x 9-1/2"; scored at 1", 2", 7-1/2", & 8-1/2" (Early Espresso Cardstock)

Floral Pumpkin Thanksgiving Card

For today's card I created an autumnal Thanksgiving card featuring the Hello Harvest stamp set (#159634) and Rustic Pumpkin Dies (#159643) as well as the Painted Pheasant stamp set (#159846). This card layout is also easy to replicate and make multiples for your family and friends.

I like the thanksgiving greeting stamp from Painted Pheasant for this card (and also in general) because the fonts are easy to read and it does not overshadow the pumpkin floral element in the center of the card.

I stamped the thanksgiving greeting on Daffodil Delight cardstock to tie the greeting to the sunflowers and to the squash on the designer series paper.

I was originally going to stamp the pumpkin in the center of the Basic White rectangle and adhere the floral spray with dimensionals on top of the pumpkin. However, the background looked too bare and the pumpkin receded into the background.

So, I die cut the pumpkin and added dimensionals to the back of both the pumpkin and the floral spray. Then I used the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder to add a delicate layer of interest behind the pumpkin and floral die cuts without overwhelming the rest of the card.

 

 

Inside of the card is plenty of room to write a thanksgiving message. At the bottom I added a 3/4" strip of the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper.

 

 

Pro Tip: You can cut each of the designer series paper panels separately or cut 1 piece that measures 3-5/8" x 5-1/4" and cut it into 3 panels as indicated in the measurements list below. You should be able to cut 6 panels of 3-5/8" x 5-1/4" and 6 pieces that measure 4" x 3/4" for the inside DSP strip using a 12" x 12" piece of designer series paper.

Below are the measurements and the supply list for my 3-panel designer series paper Thanksgiving card. If you need supplies to recreate this card, please, shop my online store HERE.

Measurements

• Card Base: 4-1/4" x 11"; scored at 5-1/2" (Merry Merlot Cardstock)

Using a Card Sketch to Make a Halloween Card

The Scary Cute stamp set (#159850) is my go to Halloween stamp set this season. The silhouettes of the trick-or-treaters are too adorable and fun! I made this card to send to my niece for Halloween using the fairy princess silhouette stamp.

The layout comes from a card sketch by Teresa Kline. I was drawn to the three horizontal stripes and the ribbon at the top of her sketch.

I often use card sketches for inspiration, whether they are my own card sketches or another's. Card sketches provide a starting point for my creativity. I look at the scale of the elements on the card sketch to get an idea of which stamps and papers would fit.

There were no measurements included with Teresa's card sketch, so I used my grid paper to draw an approximation. Then I cut my paper and adjusted the measurements as I created.

I chose mostly neutral colors with the Basic Black, the Basic Gray, and the Basic White. I added a burst of Highland Heather to contrast with the neutral colors.

I chose the star patterned paper because it echoed the star on the fairy princess' wand and because the size of the stars well fit in a 3/4" strip of DSP. The stars did not lose their definition when cut to such a narrow piece of DSP. I kept the three strips of DSP the same to avoid the card becoming overly busy with too many patterns.

On the inside I stamped the moon and some bats at the top and the row of trick-or-treaters at the bottom to create a nighttime Halloween scene.

You can customize this card too. The silhouette stamps are mostly the same size, so the stamps with one trick-or-treater should fit in this circle die cut. You can also adjust the size of the circle die cuts. You can change the color palette to your recipient's favorite colors or to suit the occasion.

Below are the measurements and the supply list that I used to make this Scary Cute Halloween card. You can find stamping supplies in my online store HERE.

Measurements

• Card Base: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2"; score at 4-1/4" (Basic Gray Cardstock)
• 1st Mat: 4" x 5-1/4" (Basic Black Cardstock)
• 2nd Mat: 3-1/2" x 4-3/4" (Highland Heather Cardstock)
• Stripes (cut 3): 3/4" x 3-1/2" (Black and White Designer Series Paper)
• Scalloped Circle: 2-3/4" x 2-3/4" (Basic Black Cardstock) - use the 2-1/2" scalloped circle die
• Circle: 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" (Basic White Cardstock) - use the 2-1/8" circle die
• Greeting Mat: 2-1/2" x 1" (Basic Black Cardstock)
• Greeting: 2" x 3-3/4" (Basic White Cardstock)
• Inside Mat: 4" x 5-1/4" (Basic White Cardstock)

Second Sunday Sketches #41 Starts Today

 

It is time for another Second Sunday Sketches challenge! If you are new to Second Sunday Sketches, please review the rules here or below. Each second Sunday of the month, I will post a card sketch. A sketch is graphic or drawing of how the elements of a card are arranged.

You will then use the sketch as a guide to create your own card. Your card must be a new creation and reflect the challenge guidelines. Your card must include the major elements of the card sketch, such as the number of layers and the general position of the embellishments and/or die cuts. You can rotate the sketch for a top-folding card or for a side-folding card.

You choose the occasion and the color palette as well as the stamp set(s) and the embellishments. I do ask that you use Stampin' Up! products (current or retired).

The measurements will also be included in the blog post for each Second Sunday Sketches sketch challenge. You can use the measurements as given or increase them or decrease them. For example, if a greeting is stamped on a 1" circle on the sketch, but the greeting you choose is 1-3/4", then increase the size of the circle to 1-3/4". You can also change the shape. Instead of a circle, you can use an oval, a square, a daisy punch, a monogram, etc.

The challenge will run from the second Sunday of the month until the last day of that month. 

 

Card Sketch

Below is September's card sketch.

Challenge Dates

September's challenge will run from September 11th, 2022 until September 30th, 2022 at 5pm EDT.

If you would like to participate in the Second Sunday Sketches sketch challenge, please create a card using the sketch above and email me a photo of your card by September 30th, 2022 at 5pm EDT with the subject line Second Sunday Sketches Entry.

Prize Drawing

The day after the last day of the month (October 1st), I will place all of the names of the participants in a proverbial hat and randomly draw a winner. The winner will receive a prize (US Residents only)! The prize each month will change and will be announced at the start of each challenge. September's Second Sunday Sketches sketch challenge prize is a surprise embellishment pack from my retired product cache and three hand-made cards from me.

 

Winner Announcement

If you are the winner, I will notify you by email. Please respond to my email with your complete mailing address, and I will mail you your prize! If the winner does not respond to my email within 7 days, I will draw another winner.

I will also post all of the entries on my blog (with your names attached to the photos) and the name of the winner.

Some Ideas on How to Make this Card Sketch Your Own

There are many ways to change this card to make it your own! You can move the main elements around the card front like change the position of the oval to the right side of the card front, change the oval to a star or a cluster of leaves, rotate the layout 90 degrees, add texture with an embossing folder or glitter, and more!

Share Second Sunday Sketches with a Friend

Be sure to join in on the fun and share with a friend! If you enter the Second Sunday Sketches challenge, you can get a bonus surprise prize by sharing this challenge with a friend (for US residents only)! Here's how to get a bonus surprise prize. Limit two bonus surprise prizes per person per month.

1. Enter into this month's Second Sunday Sketches challenge
2. Share this month's Second Sunday Sketches challenge with a friend (that hasn't participated before)
3. Have your friend submit their this month's challenge card entry
4. Email me that your friend has submitted their card entry. Submit your complete mailing address and the name of the friend that you shared with. I will confirm their entry and then send you a bonus surprise prize.

 

I am looking forward to seeing your personal take on the 41st Second Sunday Sketches sketch challenge! If you have any questions about this card sketch challenge, please let me know! I am happy to assist!

Happy Stamping!
