June In Person Class

My June in person class was so fun! We made cards all featuring new products some with fun folds! I'm excited to share the cards from my class with you.  Supply lists and measurements are reserved for the attendees of my class. If you're in the Albuquerque area I'd love to see you at a class.  Contact me at stamperrdn@myctl.com for details on my next in person class I'd love to welcome you to a class in 2026.

First up we used the Thoughtful Octopus Set.  This card is soooo cute!  I paired it with the Scenic Coast DSP.  This fun fold is really simple to do.  Take a regular card base, 8 1/2" x 4 1/4" and cut the front in half and then along the score line.  Take that piece and adhere it horizontally onto your card base.  Really easy and fun!  

We used the coordinating stamps in the set to decorate the inside piece too. 

Next, we used the All Aflutter Bundle and the Beautiful Ordinary DSP for another fun fold.  This time the DSP opens to reveal the inside of the card.  The circles are done with punches.  This is another quick and fun card!  And the colors, sooo pretty!

The Balloon Festoon Bundle is soooo cute!  Check out my Class To Go featuring this bundle starting tomorrow!  I die cut two of the second largest balloon and added a 1/2" score line to the top of one of them to create the card.  The balloon card is mounted on some Bubble Bath cardstock for stability.  What a fun celebratory card! 

I'm loving the Velvet Meadow DSP!  This fun flip card is easier than it looks and the DSP does all the hard work!  We added a simple greeting with the Scalloped Blooms Bundle. 

Finally, the last card isn't a fun fold,but is sure is gorgeous and features amazing papers!  I used the dies from the Sunset Coast Dies for the rays, it's die cut from the Sunset Shimmer Vellum so it's stunning!  The white piece has so much amazing detail, it's the new Luxe White paper.  Finally, the leaves, die cut with the Sweet Words and Labels Dies, are die cut in In Color Pearlized Paper.  Everything has some shine or sparkle and it's stunning!  The greeting is from the Thoughtful Octopus Set.

Thoughtful Octopus Stamp Set Cookie Box-VIDEO

If you've followed me for any amount of time you know that I love critter sets and I love when there's puns to go with them.  The Thoughtful Octopus Set checks both of those boxes.  The only think that would make this set better is dies.  Yes unfortunately, there are no dies for this stamp set, but that's not going to stop us from making adorable projects right?!  We have plenty of shape dies we can use, or if you're feeling up to it, you can fussy cut it. 

I kept my box super simple, the octopus is stamped on a die cut square from the Stylish Shapes Dies and the cardstock layers are stamped with some of the coordinating images from the stamp set.  I added a Balmy Blue bow with the Balmy Blue Gingham Ribbon and finished the box with some Sunset Sparkle Sequins.

I made my box in three different colors but used the same color scheme for all three boxes. I love them all!  My octopus is stamped in Barely Blush and Highland Heather.  Inside my box are some cookies.  I found these summer/ocean themed ones at Target.  They're perfect to coordinate with this stamp set.

Sunset Coast Cardstock Background Two Ways

I have two gorgeous cards to share today.  Both feature the Sunset Coast Bundle and the same layout but I've changed up the colors and embellishments on them.  I can't decide which I like better.  I saw a card similar to this on Pintrest, it wasn't a card that featured Stampin' Up! products it was a printed card but I still loved it and knew I could do that! 

The first one features a Basic Beige front and bold colors to make up the stripes.  It makes the lighthouse really pop! The cardstock colors I used, in order, are Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake, Coastal Cabana, and Azure Afternoon. I added some shading on the Basic Beige piece around the edges for some texture and finished the card with a simple greeting and some Moody Palette Glossy Dots.  The stripes are adhered onto a Basic White piece that is 3 1/2" x 3 1/2".  I left a sliver of white between each color to help them stand out.

Measurements

Azure Afternoon

8 1/2" x 5 1/2" score long side at 4 1/4"

The next card is a more subtle, softer toned card.  I used the same layout and idea but added an embossed greeting and some shell die cuts.  I used Bubble Bath for my base and Barely Blush for my top layer.  

 

The colors I used on this one are Fresh Freesia, Bubble Bath, Crisp Cantaloupe, Hydrangea Hue, Misty Moonlight and Night of Navy.

I used the Everyday Arches Dies for the window.  The DSP cut out from the front is used on the back of the card too.  I added another arch over the DSP in the back, this time in Vellum to 'tone down' the DSP pattern so the floating butterflies stand out.  The front and the back of the card are two pieces, cut and scored the same way.  Fold the ends in a z and adhere the ends together.  It's such a fun and simple card.  Check out the video to see more of this card.

Today's card is soooo pretty! I am always a fan of any card that features Pool Party and Pretty Peacock.  I'm using a couple of new DSP's on this card.  The fun polka dot pattern is from the Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP and WOW is this DSP amazing!  One side has gorgous patterns you can use for any occasion, the other has black and white patterns.  The black and white piece I used however, is from the Artisan Sketched DSP.  Overall this card is pretty simple but oh so pretty!  I did some ink blending and ink splattering on the Basic White piece to make the butterflies pop.

The butterflies are stamped in Pool Party for the solid part and Pretty Peacock for the detail image. I love the dotted flying lines. I've been watching butterflies in my backyard while I'm out with my puppy, I watch the butterflies, she loves the shadows from the butterflies. They really don't fly straight so I love the curvy, loopy lines. Inside the card I lined it with a piece of Basic White and added another strip of the striped DSP

The featured embellishment this week are the Array Of Dots.  Receive an entire package FREE when your order is over $150.  

Today we are pulling out all the techniques for this gorgeous card.  I white heat embossed the butterflies on three different colors.  I used Poppy Parade, Fresh Freesia and the new Hydrangea Hue. After they were cooled I used the coordinating inks to add some shading to the center of them with my Water Painter.  It's super simple water coloring but adds lots of depth and texture to each butterfly.  I punched them all out and set them aside.  The greeting is also white heat embossed.

For the background I used a Blending Brush and Hydrangea Hue Ink and made a 'spray' of color from the top left to the bottom right of my Basic White Cardstock. Make sure to go lighter, you can always add ink but you can't take it away. To add even more texture to the background, I added splattering with my Hydrangea Hue Stampin' Blends. Finally, I wanted some black embellishments so I used a Sharpie to color some of the Array Of Dots to get some deep black ones. You can also use your Basic Black Stampin' Blends but I found the Sharpie to cover better and quicker.

I particularly love these too, the floral and the gingham so cute!  I used strips that are 1" x 3" and varied their lengths.  This is a fun way to add lots of depth.  The butterflies are on Dimensionals to give them some height.
