Good Vibes Easy No Stamping Card







Have you ever wondered where to begin with card making?  

Maybe you just don't have any ideas on what to make?

If you are new to stamping or looking for something new, Stampin' Up! Memories and More card kits are great items to have in your craft stash.  

This card came together in no time using the Memories and More elements from the Texture Chic Cards & Envelopes and Memories and More Pack. 

I was feeling a little stuck on what kind of card to make.

I pulled out my Texture Chic Memories and More cards and envelopes and Card Pack and threw together a quick and easy card cutting up different layers, adding stickers and then added some Rose Gold Specialty Paper as a mat layer to add a little pop.  

I replaced the Sending sentiment on the pre-printed card with a die cut from the Sending Dies layered in Petal Pink and Rose Gold Foil and popped that up using dimensionals.  

I think the resulting card came out gorgeous and I did no stamping!

September Roll The Die Challenge





It is the second Sunday of the month and that means it is time for the next edition of the Roll The Die Challenge over on Caron Bailey’s YouTube challenge. 





Join us live at 2pm ET on Sunday September 11th or watch the replay.

This month the dies fell on:

  • Brights

  • Sympathy

  • Over The Top

  • Die Cuts

  • Sponging

I decided to use Pacific Point from the Brights color collection.

I picked out designer series paper with that color from Sun Prints Designee Series Paper and Brushstroke Specialty Paper.

I looked through my stamp collection and found a stamp set that had a sympathy sentiment: Bamboo Beauty.

I stamped my sentiment in Pacific Point ink and sponged around the edge of the white panel with a sponge dauber.

I did the same on the inside panel by stamping bamboo shoots and leaves around the panel and sentiment in the center then sponging the edges. 

I used Silver Specialty Foil with my die cuts from the Fancy Frames Dies to add something over the top to the very front panel of the card.

I finished off my card with Silver Pearls from Red and Green Adhesive Pearls.

Dimensions:

4 1/4" x 8 1/4" scored at 5 1/2" Pacific Point Cardstock

3" x 5 1/2" scored at 1/2" Pacific Point Cardstock

4" x 5 1/4" Basic White Cardstock

3" x 4 3/4" Specialty Paper

2 1/2" x 4" Designer Series Paper 

3 1/2" x 5" Silver Foil

3 1/2" 5" adhesive sheet
