Stampin' Up Stamp Set Avant Garden

Hello
Welcome to another day of sharing the stamp set Avant Garden.  Today I challenged myself to make a card for you, only using the stamp set and of course card stock.  Instead of using ink pads, I used the In Color Stampin' Write Markers to color the image.  A card can have a different look by adding an accessory or by changing the card stock color, I made some samples. Hope you enjoy the samples.

 This first card I only used Whisper Card Stock.  If you look close, I stamped on  a mat which is then  mounted on the base of the card.

By adding the ribbon, the color of the flowers are accented.

Changing the base to a colored card stock

Notice the big change by adding the ribbon.

Basic Black is the base of this card.                                                                                       

The ribbon was added to dress up the card.

In this last sample there is a layer effect by building up the color by using three colors.

There are so many possibilities one can do to change the effect by adding more embellishments.
Paper crafting is a fun relaxing experience to use your creative mind.  It is also a good way to add to someone's happiness when they receive your card.

I hope you will try using this stamp set to make your cards.  By placing an order of  $50 (before shipping and tax) you can earn this stamp set,, Avant Garden "Free".  To help you order your supplies, you will need the following items besides your adhesive and paper trimmer.
Card Stock:  Whisper White #100730,  Basic Black #121045,  Cucumber Crush #138335

Avant Garden

Stampin' Up  Avant Garden
Hello and Good Day to You!

We finally got our Snow last night!!  I live in Auburn, WA and it has snowed in
many areas around my town these past few months.  My husband and I woke up
this morning to a beautiful picture of snow everywhere!!  I am grateful for the gift.

We are half way through Sale-A-Bration.  To help you use your new stamp sets from the SAB catalog, for the next few weeks I will feature a stamp set from the Sale-A-Bration Mini Catalog.
Today I want to share the stamp set, Avant-Garden.  The flower is easy to work with for many different occasions.  The feature card is a Thank You card I am sending to my customers.

 The stamp set #143272 Avant Garden is found on page 5 in the Sale-A-Bration mini Catalog.  You can not buy this Stampin Up stamp set.  It is Free with a purchase of $50. before shipping and tax.  With all the beautiful new products in the Stampin Up Occasions Catalog, you will have no trouble finding items to purchase and earn this free stamp set.

These are the images used to make the card.

 To add to the appeal of the card, the Layering Squares Framelits Dies (#141708) was used to make the flower pop out to the eye.

,

Besides the Square Framelits Dies, Falling In Love Designer Series Paper was used, along with the Metallic Ribbon (#143601) which is another SAB Free item you can earn.                                                            

  

 To die cut the Square, the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine is needed.  This machine is my favorite buddy product, which I use daily to aid in my paper crafting.  It is well worth the $110 (#143263).
A great way to obtain this wonderful machine is to Join Stampin' Up and be a part of my team.

 The Falling in Love Designer Series Paper (#142788) is in the Stampin' Up Occasions Catalog. There are 12 sheets: 2 each of 6 double-sided designs 12"x12".

To begin the card you need a Sweet Sugarplum Cardstock  (5 1/2" x 8 1/2") for the base of the card.

This layer (mat) is Pink Pirouette (5 1/4" x 4".

The Sweet Sugarplum square is a 3 1/4" square and theVery Vanilla square is a 3" x 3" square.  The designer Series paper is 3"x 1 1/2".  The ribbon is 5 1/2" long.  The ink is from the New In Color Collection, Sweet Sugarplum and Emerald Envy.

To order your supplies for the card please click HERE  to go to my store to shop online.

To Join Stampin' Up, at this time, you pay  $99 for your kit, which is a $125 value of products, business supplies, free shipping on the kit and an additional 2 stamp sets at any price (which could give you a value up to $200) during this Sale-A-Bration time.  There are many more reasons to join, a 20% discount on orders (placed after you join), a quarterly Stampin' Success magazine, a variety of videos including videos from other demonstrators, eligibility to attend events and more!  You could even buy your own Big Shot machine.

Oh So Succulent Bundle and Birthday Blast

Good Day to you.  I am having a class using the Oh So Succulent Bundle (145184).

 The stamp set has 30 photopolymer stamps!  The Framelits Dies has 17 dies.  You need a Big Shot  for these dies to cut out the shapes.

This is one project we will be making February 25th!  I had fun making this project.  I love using the different colors together .

This next few pictures shows a card using the Birthday Blast Bundle (#144715 - wood & #144716 clear mount).  The stamp set has 7 rubber stamps.  The Star Blast Edgelits Dies has 3 dies.

       

The next few pictures have comments on how I made this card for our class meeting last week.

 I cut a card stock at 5.5" for the outside of the card.  Two pieces are for the front and back.The inside has one piece, which is scored  at 4", 4.5", 5', 5.5" & 6".  Next fold on the scored lines.  The inside is an upside down W and the outside has a W shape.  The first picture below is the inside and

                                        
                                                              the picture below is the outside.

                                                  I used the Big Shot to die cut the stars.

 

Remove the pieces from around the die cut shape.

I actually die cut two stars blast.  One on Designer Series Paper and the other on the Gold Foil Paper.

I placed the DSP in the center of the W and closed it together with Tear and Tape .

I then used glue on the back of the foil stars and placed it in the front of the fold.  

Once the inside panel is taped together, I added the front and back panels.  I then added Whisper White Card Stock on to the Bermuda Bay and stamped my words. I did the same for the inside of the card but added Tasty Treat Designer Washi Tape.  

The best thing about this card, after opening, it will remain standing to display the stars.

                                    You will enjoy making this card, as well as sharing it.
