Envelope Liner Framelit Dies Card

I hope you enjoyed the Stampin' Addicts Blog Hop this past weekend.  The links are available if you missed it or want to see it again.  The links are at the bottom of my August 9, 2013 post.

This is one of the cards I made for the Blog Hop.



Here is a stepped up version using leaves from the Autumn Accents Bigz die and a piece of lattice from the Lattice Bigz die.

It is really easy to create pockets from the Envelope Liner Framelit dies.  Here are the basics for this pocket.  Score on the solid line so that the pocket edge folds down nicely.  The dashed lines show where to place the tape.

There is no tape in the middle of the card or on the top edge.
I mention this because I have done it! 

 



Adding a pocket creates an interactive card.  On the tag you can put a greeting, a photo or any message you would like.  How about a decorated tag that can be used as a bookmark?

On my next post, I will show details on the silverware and treat holder assembly.



Stampin' Addicts Fall Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampin' Addicts Fall Blog Hop.  This blog hop features the Fall items from the new Stampin' Up Holiday catalog.  There will be another blog hop in October that features the Winter Holiday items.

If you are following the hop in order, you arrived from Adriana's blog where she features
the Oh, Goodie! stamp set.

Here we go with the brand new Envelope Liners Framelits Dies.

Easy to use and endless possibilities ...

They are designed to make beautiful liners for Stampin' Up! envelopes.  Take a minute to add
the finishing touch for your handmade cards.  The sizes of dies are listed in the Holiday Catalog. 
Here are three different looks for the envelope liners:

Large Die - Use Versa Mark to stamp the liner to create your own designer paper.
Medium Die - The liner is shown exactly as it is cut from the framelit.

Small Die - The liner is embossed with the Fancy Fan embossing folder.



 

These are great to have and not just for envelopes!
Check out the other ideas below.







Envelope Liner Pockets

  

 

Be ready for any event with these two quick and easy projects.

 

Silverware Holder -  The silverware holder uses 2 pieces from the medium die.  Seal the pieces together on three edges.  The front flap is taped down and the back flap is left up
for support.

 

Treat Holder - The treat holder uses 2 pieces from the small die. 
Use the larger dies if you want to add lots of treats!

Pockets for Cards

 

Use the liner to create a pocket for an interactive card with a tag ... or a pocket on the inside to hold a gift card.  How about an interactive scrapbook page with pockets?

 

The next stop on the Fall Blog Hop is Heidi's blog.  She is featuring the Magnificent Maple stamp.

If you get lost along the way, there is a list of all the participants at the bottom of this post.

O Holy Night

I couldn't wait to use the new Winter Frost Designer Series paper!  There are two sheets in the pack that have foil accents.  The other sheets have the regular Stampin' Up! finish.

The card shows off the paper and the new stamp set called "O Holy Night."  The stamp has such beautiful sentiments about Christmas.

Paper:  Smoky Slate, Pool Party, Whisper White, Winter Frost
Ink:  Smoky Slate
Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon
Silver 1/8" Ribbon
Rhinestone
Fancy Fan Embossing Folder

 

 

 

Notable Notions

This card went to convention as part of a vintage swap.  I really like the Notable Notions stamp set.  The different stamps work together so nicely.  The inside of the large tag pops out and I used it to create the small tag on the front of the pocket.  It is like a bonus stamp!

The card base is Smoky Slate.  The card base is covered using the Shop Around wheel in matching ink.  The faux pocket is created using Baked Brown Sugar ink and the Fancy Fan embossing folder.

To create the pink ribbon, I rubbed 3/8" Whisper White taffeta ribbon on the Blushing Bride ink pad.  The finishing touches were 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon in Baked Brown Sugar, Vintage Trinkets and a Tea Lace Paper Doily.

The large buttons have the cutest greetings, "You Make Me Smile",  "Always By Your Side" and "The Best of Friends Forever".

Polka Dot Pieces

This is a new stamp set called Polka Dot Pieces.  I am so happy it is summer!  This card is about bright summery colors.  Two new ink colors, Coastal Cabana and Strawberry Slush, are paired with So Saffron.  The flowers are punched using the 1 3/4" Scallop Punch.  The bird and vine are punched using the Bird Builder Punch.  The Whisper White background paper is embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots folder.  The Whisper White layer is placed on a Strawberry Slush card base.  The finishing touch was Rhinestone Jewels in the center of the flowers.

This card went to convention as part of the Stampin' Addicts Meet and Greet - New Catalog swap. 

Hope this card brings you smiles.

Happy Father's Day

These cards are for two Fathers that we love!  My Father-in-law loved the tractor card.  He is driving an antique tractor in a parade this weekend.  My Dad is going to love the lobster card.  The minute I saw the "By the Tide" stamp set, I knew it would be perfect for my dad. 

Spring Sampler

I have been working on things that make me feel like Spring is near!

First up are three cards made from the Tea Shoppe stamp set and the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper:

A Cup of Thanks

The tea cups are stamped on Very Vanilla and trimmed to fit on pinwheel shapes cut from the Designer Series Paper.  The edges of the squares are sponged with the same color the tea cups are stamped in.  Sponging the edges only takes a minute and it really finishes your project.  The sponging adds depth and texture.

Just For You

A tip for cutting out the tea cup.  Cut inside of the handle first.  This way the outside paper stabilizes the handle and you won't rip or bend the handle.  The tea cup is stamped in Wisteria Wonder and embossed with clear embossing powder.  The embossing gives the tea cup a little bit of thickness to help keep its shape.

"Stay" is a Charming Word

This is one of my favorite sayings from one of my favorite authors.  This card is all dressed up with embellishments from the Artisan Embellishment Kit.  The primary colors are Calypso Coral and Crumb Cake.  Adding things like Baker's Twine and a button will dress up your cards in minutes.

Next, is a scrapbook page:

This is an 8x8 page of Pink Pirouette.  It is easy to create your own background paper using the Flower Flourishes stamp set.  The "Laughter" quote is from the Feel Goods stamp set.  The girls are on their way to prom and their laughter comes from genuine friendship.  I knew this stamp was perfect for this photo.


The next two items show ways to use Stampin' Up! products to make 3-D items to decorate the walls of your home with your own art!

Nine Patch Sampler

 

This is approximately 7" x 7".  It features 9 - 2" squares.  These are really fun to make.  Don't be afraid to try it.  It is a great way to use your stamp sets.  Stampin' Up! does a great job of making stamps that coordinate with matching punches and papers that coordinate with ink colors.  Start by choosing a color theme.  In this piece it is blues and neutrals.  Then create your squares one at a time by just having fun with your stamps and embellishments.  When you have nine squares completed, start laying them out and moving them around until you like the layout.  You will love each little square because you created it.

A sample of a 2" square.

The First Edition paper is distressed with Crumb Cake ink and the Postage Due Stamp.

The bird is from the You Are Loved set in the heart.

Stamp the heart and punch out the bird with your 1" punch.

Two new ways to use your stamps:  distress backgrounds and cropping a focal image.

  Another 2" square.

Create freely, no boundaries and enjoy.

Spring Banner

A banner to welcome Spring.  I love making these for the seasons and special holidays.  Just have fun and create as you go.  It is great way to get extra use out of your stamps.  We keep my Grandma's apartment door decorated with these and everyone loves them.  Here are close ups of two letters.

Hope you have enjoyed the posts to welcome Spring.  I love creating with Stampin' Up!.  It is fun to give these projects as gifts.  People love it that you made it for them.  You are special and so are your creations.  Love them and share them.
