Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Let’s Celebrate You Card Video Tutorial

Good Morning! Today I’m sharing a Celebrate You card made with the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers bundle that I made during my Facebook Live video tutorial Saturday afternoon. I made a sweet country style card with the fabulous sunflower and dies and I used many of the new In Colors. You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Here is the Facebook Live video showing how I made the card:

I also posted the video to my YouTube Channel and you can view it here if you prefer.

I started by cutting out the outline large sunflower and the flower center from the Sunflower Dies with Cinnamon Cider card stock. I stamped the large sunflower from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers with Bumblebee ink on Bumblebee card stock and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered the Cinnamon Cider outline flower die cut to the stamped flower with dimensionals along the center rim. I adhered the center on top with dimensionals.

I cut three of the outline leaf die cuts from Shaded Spruce card stock and stamped three large leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers cling stamp set in Just Jade ink on Just Jade card stock. I cut the leaves out with the coordinating die and adhered the Shaded Spruce outline die cuts on top with liquid glue. I cut the two leaf sprig accents from the Sunflowers Dies from Whisper White card stock and began to assemble the card front. I adhered the panel of Flowers for Every Season designer series paper to a Bumblebee mat and then to the center of a Misty Moonlight 2020-2022 In Color designer series paper panel. I adhered the layered DSP to a Cinnamon Cider card base.

I adhered the layered leaves and Whisper white sprigs to the card front with liquid glue and adhered the sunflower with multipurpose liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in VersaMark Ink on a strip of Misty Moonlight. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and heat set until shiny. I fussy cut the sentiment and adhered it over the flower with glue dots and the DSP panel with dimensionals. I made a bow with the Bumblebee gingham ribbon and attached it with a glue dot and finished the flower center with Cinnamon Cider enamel dots.

I stamped the large sunflower from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Bumblebee ink on Whisper White after stamping off twice. I adhered a strip of Flowers for Every Season DSP to the bottom of the panel and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with multipurpose liquid glue.

The Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers bundle is the best sunflower stamp and die set that I have seen. The stamped images are gorgeous with realistic detail and the outline die cut overlay both takes it to the next level by providing dimension and fun.

Stampin’ Up! Kerchief Card Kit

Good Morning! Today I have a set of cards that I made with the FREE Sale-A-Bration Stampin’ Up! Kerchief Card Kit and they are so adorable! I made most of the cards using the examples in the kit, but did made some modifications to two of them to give you a small taste of the possibilities. You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

The Stampin’ Up! Kerchief Card Kit is a Sale-A-Bration item that is FREE with a $50 purchase. It has all the supplies needed to make 8 4 1/4″ x 5″ cards in two designs. It is inspired by pretty bandana prints and reminds me of my free-spirited youth – tying a bandana around my head to keep my hair out of my face.

The Stampin’ Up! Kerchief Card Kit comes with:

  • 8 printed card bases and envelopes, 4 in blue and 4 in red
  • Printed die-cut accents including printed labels
  • Gold foil accents
  • Vellum accents
  • Twine
  • Adhesive (glue dots and dimensionals)
  • Instruction sheet

The labels have the sentiments printed on them, so there is no need for stamp and ink, and there are sentiments in English, French and German included (I only used the English sentiments).

The colors are Balmy Blue, Coastal Cabana, Early Espresso, gold, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy, Petal Pink, Pear Pizzazz, Poppy Parade, and white.

I started each card by adhering the vellum to the centers. On the blue cards, I adhered a few glue dots behind the gold dots. On the red cards, I just ran snail down the middle since it will be covered by the label. I punched out all the die cuts and trimmed the excess, including the gold foil accents. On the blue cards, I adhered the labels and then adhered the die cuts and foil accents on the Night of Navy disks. I adhered the flowers with dimensionals and the rest with glue dots. I adhered the disks on the card front with dimensionals and then made the bows and adhered them with glue dots.

On the red cards, I adhered the gold foil accents with glue dots and then adhered the labels with dimensionals. I finally made the bows and adhered them with glue dots.

On these cards, I just changed up the labels so that I had thank you cards. On the blue card, I die cut the thanks sentiment from the Well Written dies in Night of Navy card stock and adhered it to the card in place of the label. On the red card I needed to use a label to cover the center, so I stamped thank you sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set in Poppy Parade ink on a small Whisper White panel and cut it out with the Small Label die from the Painted Labels dies. I applied it in place of the provided label with dimensionals.

The Stampin’ Up! Kerchief Card kit is a pretty and sweet Sale-A-Bration (free with $50 purchase) set that makes pretty and quick any occasion cards. And since it’s Stampin’ Up!, you can also mix the up with other items in your stash to make perfectly matched alternative designs if you want.
