Irresistible Fold

Irresistible Fold

Welcome back to Stamping with Buffy! I had such a fun day yesterday! It was our monthly “Craft Day,” when crafters can bring crafts and work together at my office. Sandy was the only one who actually crafted. Christy and I got some cards together for one of our group’s “Cards for Soldiers” project. Both of us had a lot of cards to give away. Christy’s were very neat and organized by theme. Mine were dumped in a box with no organization at all, but it was fun looking through them. I picked up Amelia after school so we could buy some ice cream for our “end of school” party Friday. Sadly, I accidentally shoplifted some yogurt (is it shoplifting when it was an accident?), so I’ll be heading back today to pay for the one that didn’t get rung up.

One of my latest swaps from Sandy had such a fun fold, I had to share.

Irresistible Blooms, Stampn' Up!, Fun Fold

Isn’t that lovely? Sandy always does such beautiful work. She used the Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set and Dies and Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper (DSP) for this card. The flowers and leaves on the front are die-cut from the DSP. How fun!

Here’s what it looks like open.

Irresistible Blooms, Stampin' Up!, Fun Fold

And here’s the card totally open.

Irresistible Blooms, Stampin' Up!, Fun Fold

You have probably already figured this out, but I’ll give you dimensions anyway. First, take a Flirty Flamingo card base (5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″) and score to create a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ portrait card. Open the card and cut diagonally from the center fold to the bottom left of the card. Add Hello, Irresistible DSP to the front triangle and inside back of the card. Cut a 3″ x 8-1/2″ piece of Flirty Flamingo Cardstock. Score at 4-1/4″, then adhere to the inside back of the card  about 1/2″ from the top. (Check before you glue to be sure your front will close the way you want. The front triangle folds over the 3″ x 8-1/2″ open card, then the top of the inside card folds over the triangle. Easy. Decorate the inside “mini card” as you want.

If you like this fold and want to make more using DSP from the 2023-24 Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalog, you’re in luck! Beginning tomorrow (June 1, 2023) select DSP will be on sale. Stampin’ Up!® is offering a 15% discount on these papers: (tip: click on the photo of the DSP information, then hold the ctrl key and press the + key to make this bigger and easier to read! Click ctrl and 0 to go back to your original size.)

The Hello, Irresistible DSP that Sandy used can be found in the Online Store. It’s an Online Exclusive product and isn’t in any publication, but it is on sale in June! While you’re in the store though, take a peek at some of the other online only products. Lots of products are available including some fabulous kits! More online exclusive products will be released in July!

A Ladybug Note

A Ladybug Note

Welcome back to Stamping with Buffy. If you’re in the US, Happy Memorial Day. I know the reason for this holiday is to remember the members of our military who never made it back home, and I’m sure we all take a moment to reflect and remember them with such gratitude for their service and sacrifice. It has a very personal meaning for our family. You can read the story of my cousin who died on D-Day here.

Because of the sacrifice and service of our military, we can enjoy this “summer kick-off” holiday. Of course, what is summer without ladybugs? My friend Christy made this darling “envelope fold” card for a swap, and she made an extra for me. Christy is so thoughtful and so supportive and kind. And I’d say that even if she didn’t make me a swap every time she sent one even if I wasn’t part of the swap.

Stampin' Up!, Ladybug Punch

Card created by Christy Tobin

Isn’t that just so cute? She used the Painted Texture Embossing Folder on the bottom half of a 5-1/4″ x 8 Sweet Sorbet Cardstock layer. The envelope flap is created from Designer Series Paper (DSP) also in Sweet Sorbet. It’s a little longer than it looks, because it’s tucked and glued behind the fold on a Basic Black base. I would give dimensions, but I’m triangle challenged when it comes to cutting. Basically, when I recreate this, I’ll use Christy’s triangle as a template, then add 1/4″ or so to tuck behind the card stock. Yes, I am lazy. And, yes, I am one of those students who said, “When am I ever going to need this?” in Math class. But honestly, tracing the flap (or even an plain envelope flap) is easier than Math. By the time I figure out how to figure out the dimensions, I’ll have at least three to five traced. Or I could run to Pinterest, YouTube, or Google and type “Envelope fold” into a search and get the dimensions. Or you can watch this video.

Here’s Christy’s card open.

See how when the card is closed, the envelope point tucks behind the ladybug? So fun!! It is super easy to cut a piece of Basic White Cardstock to cover the top (non-embossed) part of the card to write a note or stemp a sentiment. And wasn’t she clever not to emboss the whole Sweet Sorbet layer so you can still write on the card?

The ladybug was punched from Sweet Sorbet and Basic Black Cardstock with the Ladybug Builder punch. The dots were added by hand with the Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker. (Actually, I have no idea what Christy used to add the dots so I’m just guessing. But the Basic Black SW Marker would work perfectly!)

Sending Love

Sending Love

Welcome back to Stamping with Buffy. Tonight was our monthly technique night, and I love the technique we did. I’ve been playing with this technique for a few weeks, and it’s so much fun. Even better, it’s really easy and hard to mess up. I need that kind of technique!

Today I found out I’m really old. Here’s how.

When Jon was little, my mom and Mike’s mom used to spend time with him. My mom was a champ. She could keep up with that busy little boy and think nothing of it. Mike’s mom –  and another friend who was a little older than I – needed a couple days to recuperate after they spent a day with him. I think my mom was just a little more used to keeping up with little kids – and Jonny was a busy little kid!

I had no problem keeping up with Miss Amelia. From the day she was born, I thought up ways to visit her parents daily so I could spend time with her – holding her or playing with her so they could catch a nap or two, bringing food to the new parents –anything to have some time with that precious girl. As she grew and became more active, I adapted with her. So hanging out with a preschooler several days a week before she went to school was not a big deal.

And then there was today. Stephanie and I had lunch with my mom. Stephanie babysits a preschooler every day so she was there as well, but Quincy didn’t want to eat. Quincy was bored with adult talk, so she whispered in my ear, “Can we play when you’re finished eating?” Of course! We made a fort. We played hide and seek. We planted and watered imaginary flowers. We took care of an imaginary cat. (She kept whispering, “We’re just pretending,” in case I forgot and actually tried to feed the imaginary cat real food. Quincy has an amazing imagination!) We took a walk and picked asparagus for Mimi. I don’t know what Quincy did after she left, but I came home and took a nap. I didn’t need naps six years ago when Amelia was little. I am old.

Quincy had such a good time, that she has decided we’re all coming back Monday to play some more. Fortunately Monday is a holiday and her older sister and Amelia will also be with us so they can help with the entertainment. (Although, the first time they all played hide and seek, Miss Q was the first to hide. After she hid, her older sister told Amelia, “You know, we don’t have to find her.” Is this why I had to sit so long in my hiding place when I was a kid?? Older siblings are the worst! But we still love them.)

I did wake up from my nap in time for my technique class. You may remember the technique from this post. Here’s one of the other cards I made.

Stampin' Up!, Sending Smiles, Artistically Inked

This card is darker than some I’ve made, but it all depends on the colors you use. Here’s how you do it.

First, use Blending Brushes to blend ink onto Basic White Cardstock. The colors I used here are Petal Pink, Calypso Coral, and Pretty Peacock.

Once you’re happy with how it looks (and it’s totally your decision. The colors can be light or darker, however you like them), set this aside. Take an embossing folder (I used the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder) and ink the debossed side (typically the side without the Stampin’ Up!® logo) with a Basic Gray or black ink pad. I like to use an ink spot or other linen pad. You can also use a Stampin’ Write Marker, but be sure to use the side of the marker, not the tip. And make sure your stamp pad (or marker) is water based so it doesn’t stain your embossing folder.

When you’re sure all the “details” are inked. place your inked card stock in the folder with the inked side of the card stock over the inked side of the embossing folder. Run it through your Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine hinge first, then look at the gorgeous background you’ve created.

I added a few dots from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Tuxedo Black Mememto Ink over the background. Then I die-cut sending using the Sending Dies in Black and Petal Pink Cardstock. I also stamped love & big hugs in Pretty Peacock Ink on Petal Pink Cardstock from the Sending Smiles Stamp Set and die-cut with the coordinating die in the Sending Dies.

I stamped some images  from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set on Petal Pink Cardstock with Calypso Coral Ink (flowers) and Pretty Peacock Ink on Lost Lagoon Cardstock (leaves) and added them to the card.

I am in love with this technique. It’s so simple and is such a WOW! I’d love to see your take on it! (And thanks again, Jackie, for sharing!)

Fresh as a Daisy

Fresh as a Daisy

If you need a handmade card in a snap, the Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper (DSP) from Stampin’ Up!® is there for you. Each sheet is beautiful, and it’s full of new colors! All five of the new In Colors for 2023-2025 are in the DSP – Copper Clay, Wild Wheat, Boho Blue, Pebbled Path, and Moody Mauve. And the final color is Pretty Peacock, a retired In Color that came back as a blue/green in the Regals Collection.

One sheet (actually two, since there are two of each design) is perfect for quick cards.

FRESH AS A DAISY 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

These 10 beautiful patterns are perfect for full sized cards, note cards, square cards, or a lovely layer.

I cut the bottom left image using my paper trimmer. A little more trimming, a bit of stamping, and some layering and I had a gorgeous card in no time.

Fresh as a Daisy, Stampin' Up!, Playing in the Rain, Waves of Inspiration

First, I trimmed the DSP image to 3-3/4″ x 5″. Then, before I adhered anything, I stamped the birds from the Waves of Inspiration Stamp Set in Basic Gray Ink. Then I stamped the sentiment from the Playing in the Rain Stamp Set in Basic Gray Ink in the center of a 4″- 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White Cardstock. Again using my Paper Trimmer I cut out the sentiment, leaving enough room around it to punch with the Cloud Punch.

I layered the Basic White piece to a Wild Wheat card base, then added the DSP and punched sentiment on top. So easy!

Yesterday we had family dinner to celebrate Wes’s birthday. When Stephanie and Garret got home, there was a cat in the gutter outside their home. It was very thin, but sweet and friendly. And apparently it was also very pathetic, because Garrett said they should bring it in to make sure it was ok. Long story short…Garrett and Steph have a cat! It seems to like their dogs and they’re ok with the cat. It’s a yellow tabby (that reminds me a little of our daily visitor “Bob”). For Amelia’s second birthday, my aunt gave her a stuffed cat that looks very like the little stray. She called it Meow Meow, because everything was called by the sound they made – Meow Meow, Woof Woof, Neigh Neigh (well, you get the idea. And, hey, she was two). Now, of course, she is a very grown up almost nine year old, so she has already named the new cat Autumn. Isn’t that a great name for a yellow orange cat? And apparently Amelia hasn’t heard that if you name a stray, you now own it. (Or maybe she has. She has wanted another cat.)

Lazy Days and Lemonade

Lazy Days and Lemonade

What a wonderful Thursday I had! My Wesley turned 31 (can that be possible??), so I took a fun dessert and card over to his house in the afternoon. I realized when I got there that it was almost the exact time he was born. What a wonderful day that was! On Thursday night, Adrianna (Jon’s wife) and I took a “Grazing Board” class. If you haven’t seen the photo on Facebook, here’s my “board.”

It was so fun! I was sad the other two girls couldn’t make it. But we found out they do private classes, so we’re thinking about doing one for all of us while the guys do some “guy things.” The class was so fun, but if we do a private one, maybe we can ask for a “low cheese” board since Steph is allergic to dairy. Or I can bring some dairy free options for her board.

Oh, by the way – see that piece of cheese on the top (at the bottom left) that isn’t “fanned” well? It’s gone. I couldn’t get it back into the mix so that it looked good, so I ate it.  Yum! It was fun getting some tips on putting the board together.

Right before I left for the class, I decided to play a little with the Lazy Days Bundle from the 2023-24 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. After I planned what I wanted to do, this was really quick to pull together.

Lazy Days, Stampin' Up!

I started with 4″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Smoky Slate Cardstock. Then I added a piece of Old Olive Cardstock the height of the porch rails, then a Boho Blue Cardstock piece at the top.

Next, I stamped the chair, table, hanging basket and basket of greenery on Basic White Cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored these with Stampin’ Blends – except I added some Metallic Enamel Effects in Gold around the basket with the greenery. I stamped the porch rug in Misty Moonlight Ink on Basic White Cardstock, then die-cut all the stamped pieces as well as the porch rails and trim with the coordinating dies. I die-cut the cushion for the chair from the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper.

Before I started adhering all the die-cuts willy-nilly, I laid them out where I wanted them first. And then I realized my Old Olive strip was too tall. The easiest fix was to add a little extra to the top of the porch rails. After I had everything placed where I wanted it, I glued them to the card and then to the Crumb Cake card base.

I need to use the “reverse stamping technique” to add another rocking chair to the card, because two glasses of lemonade with only one chair seems sad to me. It’s like you’re making someone sit on the floor. Or maybe the rocking chair sitter is really thirsty.

I love this set. It’s going to be perfect for Mike’s real estate clients (with the extra chair, of course!).

Embossing Folder Technique

Embossing Folder Technique

Welcome back to Stamping with Buffy! I hope you’re having a productive week. Yesterday was “taxes and other bills day.” The happy part was that Amelia needed to be picked up from school. That’s not the happy part. That part is sad because she felt so bad and didn’t want to eat. But Steph had just put the preschooler she babysits down for a nap and asked if I could get her. Of course! Although my heart broke for her. It’s awful when she’s sick, because she usually is so happy and full of life. As it turns out, she has a sinus infection, so she should be much better soon!

Today’s “to do” list was much more fun. Max got his nails done (Max is our very old pug) and I got to see my aunt for a few minutes, one of my favorite stampers, and lots of family later for my uncle’s birthday. It was a good day! And then I got a text from my friend Jackie. Jackie sent Susan and me a link to this cool embossing folder technique. I don’t know what it’s called, but I love the look!

Charming Sentiments, Stampin' Up!

I didn’t even need to spend a lot of time on this. It’s going to be the technique I share at our next technique night. Sadly, I didn’t have a current embossing folder that would work well, so I pulled out this one that’s retired. The colors I used are Poppy Parade, Lemon Lime Twist, Basic Gray, and Lemon Lolly.  So fun!

After our class next week, I’ll explain the technique. Hopefully, I’ll have an appropriate and current folder by then! The sentiment is from the Charming Sentiments Stamp Set. I embossed it with White Powder on Basic Black Cardstock, then die-cut with the Sentiment Silhouettes Dies. I love the way it turned out.

Cheerful Daisies

Cheerful Daisies

Happy Monday! I hope all the moms out there – bio moms, step moms, foster moms, dog or cat (or bunny) moms, grandmoms, aunts and cousins who are like moms, and all other mom figures – had a wonderful and relaxing Mother’s Day. All the kids, Mom, and my niece were here for dinner. It was lovely, except that Amelia wasn’t feeling well and hung out on the couch all day. Allergies in our area are awful and they do take their toll on all of us!

I finally had a chance to play with one of the new stamp sets I ordered from Stampin’
Up!®. The Cheerful Daisies Bundle is so fun. There are, of course, dies to cut out the stamped images, but there are also other dies. One cuts out three daisies and leaves – all at once! I used that one for my mom’s Mother’s Day card. Today’s card, though, uses stamped images and coordinating dies.

Cheerful Daisies, Stampin' Up!

This is one of the cards we made for May classes. First, I stamped the flower outlines on Basic White Cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, the stamp the inside in Bubble Bath Ink. Bubble Bath is a brand new color for 2023, and I must say, it’s really pink. I like it, though. It doesn’t have yellow undertones like some pinks do, and it’s lovely. The flower centers are Wild Wheat (a 2023-25 In Color). I used a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Basic White Cardstock to stamp all the flowers and the leaves (in Granny Apple Green), then die-cut them with the coordinating dies.

On a 1-3/4″ by 5″ Basic White strip, I stamped the three flower cluster in Bubble Bath and Highland Heather Ink. Then I embossed with the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder and adhered it to a 2″ x 5″ piece of Basic Black Cardstock. I aligned the Basic White strip with the top and bottom of the Basic Black piece, leaving a border on the sides. when I added it to the 3-3/4″ x 5″ Basic White layer, the Basic Black met at the edge, but still looks like there’s a border at the top and bottom, yet it doesn’t add bulk.

Before I adhered the 4″ x 5-1/2″ Basic Black piece to the Bubble Bath card base, I die-cut two stems from the center of the Basic Black. I added the die-cut flowers, leaves, and stems to the Basic White layer, then adhered it to the Basic Black layer and Bubble Bath card base. (Doing this is much simpler than it sounds when you’re reading it!)

I colored some Pearl Basic Jewels with a Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blend and added them to the card. The Basic Pearls are retired, but there are so many other pearls available – Festive, Iridescent, Flat and In Color. You’ll notice that I did not add a sentiment. I usually do, and then when I look through my “card stash,” I find the perfect birthday card – but it has a “Thank You” sentiment. So frustrating. I decided to just wait and see what I need the card for and then stamp the sentiment. I also have a sectioned box that I may use to store various sentiment tags in. Then I can just grab what I need.

Wild & Sweet

Wild & Sweet

Hello, everyone! My great-nephew is graduating from high school in a few weeks. How can this be possible? He is such a wonderful guy. Very smart, respectful, and so handsome. I have a hard time believing he’s ready to graduate.

Because we don’t have many friends or relatives graduating from anywhere lately, I don’t have any graduation stamp sets. So I chose the Wild & Sweet Stamp Set. It really doesn’t have much to do with high school graduation, but it kind of looks like the bear is hugging the tree – and I want to give my nephew a big bear hug. Sadly, he lives out of state, so I can’t make it to his graduation, so this “bear hug” will have to do! We’ll pretend one of us is the tree and the other a bear.

Wild & Sweet, Stampin' Up!

I love that this card could be for any reason or any person. I stamped the bear on Basic White Cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Then I colored the tree with Pecan Pie and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ blends, and cut it out with the Deckled Rectangles Dies. I die-cut a piece of Mossy Meadow Cardstock with the next largest Deckled Rectangles Die and adhered the two die-cuts.

After embossing a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White Cardstock with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder, I used a Blending Brush to add a little Mossy Meadow to the embossed panel. I tried to use a very light touch, since I only wanted the raised areas to be inked. Remember to tap the brush onto scrap paper a time or two before you start blending.

I added the embossed piece to a Mossy Meadow card base, then added the Deckled Rectangles die-cuts to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment is from the Something Fancy Bundle. There’s a die that will cut it out perfectly, but I forgot about it. I should say, I used the Deckled Rectangle Dies to cut it out so I could keep the continuity. And that’s kind of true.

Thanks for stopping by Stamping with Buffy. Enjoy your weekend – and Happy Mother’s Day!

Grassy Grove Birthday

Grassy Grove Birthday

Welcome back to Stamping with Buffy! Today, I have a gorgeous “fun fold” birthday card using the Grassy Grove Stamp Set and Grove Dies. This card was inspired by Gillian Rouge (Gillian Stamps). Here’s the front. Grassy Grove, Stampin' Up!, Fun Fold

Pretty straight forward, right? I used Crumb Cake and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Write Markers to color the ground at the bottom as well as the two sets of trees. I die-cut the trees and adhered them to the card. And the sentiment from the Go To Greetings Stamp Set is stamped in Versamark and embossed with Copper Embossing Powder on Crumb Cake Cardstock. I die-cut with the retired Beautiful Shapes Dies, looped some Baker’s Twine behind it, and added it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

And now, here’s the fun inside.

Grassy Grove, Stampin' Up!, Fun Fold

Interestingly, this part was the easiest! I started with a 4-1/4″ x 11″ piece of Pretty Peacock Cardstock and scored it at 5-1/2″ for the card base. Then I cut a 4″ x 11″ piece of Basic White and scored at 5-1/2″, and then 2-3/4″ from each end. The two outer folds are valley folds and the center fold is a mountain fold. After I scored, I cut about 1/16″ – 1/8″ off each short end. It’s easier to score the entire 11″ piece and then cut a bit off than to try to figure out where to score a 10-3/4″ panel. If you love math, you are welcome to figure it out. I chose the easy route.

I used the Grove Dies to die-cut the center of the Basic white piece as well as the two deer from Pecan Pie Cardstock. A friend of mine gave me a stack of Post-It Notes that she needed to “re-home.” They were all different sizes, which has come in handy so many times. One pack was just long enough to line up on the two 2-3/4″ score lines to protect the end pieces while I brushed Crumb Cake and Lost Lagoon Ink over the die-cut area with Small Blending Brushes.

For a little extra depth, I stamped greenery around the edges as well. The backdrop for the die-cut area is a 4″ x 5-1/2″ piece of the recently retired Enjoy the Journey Designer Series Paper (DSP). I was late to the game when I ordered this paper so I still have a bit left over. It’s just too pretty not to use.

Score the DSP at 2-3/4″, then center it over the center of the Pretty Peacock card base, lining up the score lines. Stamp the sentiment on the left panel of the Basic White insert. Add the two deer, carefully adding glue to the two trees behind the doe and the feet of the fawn, being sure the glue is totally dry before adding the insert to the card base. Adhere the insert over the DSP, matching score lines. *Tip: I used liquid glue to add the DSP, insert, and deer. This gave me a little “wiggle room” in case I needed to realign anything. Also, be sure the deer – especially the fawn – are far enough away from the center score so they don’t peek out when the card is closed.

This card is for my Wesley who turns 31 next week. I cannot believe my “baby’ will be over 30.

Thanks for stopping by Stamping with Buffy. Have a lovely day!
