Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered Card

Good Morning! One of the prettiest sets in the retiring January-June 2022 Mini Catalog is the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered bundle. It coordinates with the Artfully Composed designer series paper to make fun cards with a tropical flair. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

My card was inspired by the pretty sketch challenge in Freshly Made Sketches #538:

I embossed a Basic White panel with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Basic White card base. I adhered two strips of Artfully Composed designer series paper vertically to the left side of the card with liquid glue and adhered another strip across the top.

I cut an Evening Evergreen panel with the leaf from the Tropical Layers dies and stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered cling stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink on a panel of Layering Designs vellum. I let the ink dry a bit and cut out the circle with the Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered the leaf die cut to the die cut vellum with glue dots.

I adhered the die cuts to the card front with glue dots and finished the card front with a Polished Dot.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered stamp set in Mint Macaron and Calypso coral on a Basic White panel. I adhered the panel to an Artfully Composed DSP mat and adhered the layered panel to the inside of the card.

One of the best things about the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered stamp set are the fun, casual sentiments. They go great with the relaxed tropical leaf designs. These products are on the retiring list and the best part is that the dies and the DSP are on sale!! Be sure to check them out before they’re gone!

Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered Hello Card

Good Morning! I used the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered bundle with the Artfully Composed designer series paper for a simple and colorful tropical hello card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I used the little geometric die cut from the Tropical Layers dies in the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered bundle to cut a little design in the corners of a panel of Artfully Composed designer series paper and adhered it to the front of a Calypso Coral card base with liquid glue. I cut another panel of the DSP with the second largest long stitched rectangle die and cut it in half. I adhered the pieces to the bottom of the card front with a gap in the middle.

I cut a panel of the DSP with the greenery with the Stitched Rectangle die and adhered it to the card front, covering the split DSP die cut. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered stamp set in Evening Evergreen on Pear Pizzazz and cut it out with the second smallest long stitched rectangle die. I used the spatter stamp from the Your Biggest Fan stamp set to apply some Pale Papaya ink over the label and adhered it to the card front with liquid glue.

I cut the tropical leaf with the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered bundle from Evening Evergreen and adhered it to the card front with liquid glue. I adhered a linen thread bow with a glue dot and finished the card with three Faux sea glass shapes.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the large leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered stamp set in Old Olive and Evening Evergreen in the corner of a Basic White panel. I used the Your Biggest Fan spatter stamp to stamp some Pale Papaya over the leaves and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered bundle along with the Artfully Composed DSP are some of the most unique and fun items in the Jan-Jun 2022 Mini Catalog. The bold tropical foliage is beautiful and go well with any other tropical stamp set. And the sentiments are casual and fun – just like a tropical vacation.

Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Today I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered bundle with the Artfully Composed designer series paper for a colorful, tropical Hello card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a Color Challenge this week and here is the pretty color palette we are using:

I adhered a panel of Layering Designs vellum on the front of a Just Jade card base with strips of Stampin’ Seal in the middle of the card front (it will be covered by the DSP layer. I adhered a panel of Pale Papaya Artfully Composed DSP to an Evening Evergreen mat and adhered a strip of colorful, leafy DSP on the side. I used the pinked edge die from the Tropical Leaves dies in the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered bundle to cut a strip of Evening Evergreen and adhered it across the bottom.

I cut the detailed long leaf die from the Tropical Layers dies from Calypso coral and adhered it to the panel with glue dots. I cut a leaf from the Artfully Composed DSP with the Tropical Layer die and cut a panel of Evening Evergreen with the detailed die. I adhered the detailed die cut to the DSP die cut with dots of liquid glue and adhered the layered leaf to the panel with glue dots. I adhered the panel to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered stamp set in Calypso Coral Basic White and cut it out with the plain oval part of the Double Oval Punch. I folded a short length of Just Jade ribbon and adhered it to the back of the label and adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals. I finished the card with Gilded Gems.

For the inside, I stamped the leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered stamp set in Just Jade in the top corner of a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of Artfully Composed DSP to the bottom and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered cling stamp set has pretty tropical leaf stamps and great sentiments, and the coordinating dies are just wonderful! The Artfully Composed designer series paper goes perfectly with these items and they are so much fun to use in making fun cards.

Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered Thank You Card

Good Morning! Two weeks ago I made a card with the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered bundle in my Sunday Afternoon Facebook Live and I have another one today. Today’s card is a much cleaner design but still colorful and with texture! You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I taped a panel of watercolor paper to my work mat with painters tape, securing it all around. I used my thick water painter to wet the paper and then add Pool Party ink to give it a watercolor wash. I’m not a watercolor painter, so I tried to start small by just doing a watercolor wash. After it dried I removed the tape and wanted more texture, so I embossed the panel with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Just Jade mat with liquid glue and then to a Crumb Cake card base with dimensionals.

I cut a Pale Papaya panel of the pretty 2021-2022 In Color Shimmer vellum with the palm die cut from the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered bundle. I cut the detailed leaf die from Just Jade and adhered them to the card front with glue dots.

I stamped a panel of Crumb Cake with the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered cling stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with gold embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heat set the powder until shiny and cut the label out with the Messages die. I adhered a folded length of Just Jade metallic ribbon and some gold trim to the card front and adhered the label over it with dimensionals. I finished with three brushed gold dots.

For the inside of the card, I inked up the large leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered stamp set with Just Jade and stamped off twice before stamping in the corner of a Basic White panel. I inked up the script stamp and stamped off before stamping over the leaf – I did this a couple of times. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

It’s fun to try out different coloring techniques such as water coloring. I’m inspired by all the pretty designer series papers, and starting easy with a color wash is perfect, especially when there are bold die cuts that you can use. And touches of gold are always a perfect way to step up a card!

Join me for a Facebook Live this Afternoon!

I’m planning to go live on my Facebook Page at 1:00 ET this afternoon to make a card with the Seascape bundle. Look forward to seeing you then!

Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered Hugs Card Video Tutorial

Good Morning! I have been having a lot of fun with the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered bundle, exploring new designs and techniques. I CASEd this card from the January – June Mini Catalog during my Facebook Live yesterday afternoon and really enjoyed all the different techniques that it used. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Here is the video of my Facebook Live from yesterday afternoon. I also posted a copy of the video in my YouTube channel and you can view it here if you prefer.

I stamped a panel of Artfully Composed designer series paper with the leaf stamps of the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered cling stamp set. I stamped the outline leaves in Evening Evergreen over the Old Olive leaves and in Old Olive ink over the Just Jade leaves. I stamped the long leaves in Mint Macaron ink in the Just Jade and Evening Evergreen leaves and then adhered the panel to the front of a Just Jade card base with liquid glue.

I cut adhered a strip of Layering Designs vellum to the front and cut a strip of Calypso Coral cut with the stitched pinked die and adhered it below the vellum. I die cut a strip of Evening Evergreen with the texture die three times and ran the strip through the die cutting machine without the die to flatten the last cut before adhering it to the card front. I stamped a bumblebee strip with the printed script stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered stamp set in Bumblebee ink and adhered it on top of the Evening Evergreen strip. Finally, I adhered a length of white frayed ribbon on top of the layered strips with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the outline leaf in twice stamped off Mint Macaron ink over the sentiment and stamped the script in Bumblebee. I cut it out with the outline leaf die. I cut a Mint Macaron panel with the detailed leaf die and adhered it to the back of the leaf label before adhering the layered label to the card front with dimensionals. I finished the card with a linen thread bow and Faux Sea Glass shapes.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the script stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered stamp set in Bumblebee and adhered another detailed leaf die cut over it. I stamped another strip of the Artfully Composed DSP to match the card front background and adhered it to the bottom. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered bundle is perfect for exploring different stamping techniques and artistic designs and styles. And I loved CASEing this card from the catalog. There is so much inspiration in the catalog and so many examples of the different things you can do with this bundle especially. So feel free to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. Enjoy!

Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered Hello Card

Good Morning! It’s another cold winter day so I made a card with the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered bundle to remind me of the warm tropics. I paired the fun sentiments and lush tropical foliage stamps with the die cut pineapple from the In The Tropics dies for a Hello card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a panel of the Artfully Composed designer series paper to an Evening evergreen mat and popped it all on an Old Olive card base. I used snail in the middle of a panel of the beautiful Layering Designs vellum to adhere it to the card front (it will be covered by the pineapple). I die cut a panel of Just Jade with the leaf sprig die from the Tropical Layers dies in the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered bundle and adhered it to the card front with glue dots. The vellum gives me just enough contrast to prevent the die cut from fading into the DSP, and the die cut helps to tie the pineapple to the DSP (plus I love how leaving a few of the center leaves in makes the die cut casual).

I die cut the pineapple from the In The Tropics dies from Bumblebee and sponged Cinnamon Cider ink around the edges and points. I fussy cut a Bumblebee backing using the die cut and adhered the die cut to the front. I cut a panel of Old Olive with the pineapple top and sponged the edges with Evening Evergreen and curled the leaves with my fingers. I adhered the pineapple top to the card front with glue dots and popped the pineapple on top with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered cling stamp set in Versamark ink on an Evening Evergreen panel and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heated the powder with my heat tool until it was shiny. I cut the sentiment out with the Messages die and adhered it to the card front with glue dots (where it overlapped the pineapple) and dimensionals. I finished it with an Evening Evergreen iridescent jewel.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaf sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered stamp set in twice stamped off Evening Evergreen ink in the corners of a Basic White panel and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Artfully Composed DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

A big pineapple against tropical foliage – this little hello is sure to warm you on the coldest winter day!

Join me for a Facebook Live this Afternoon!

I’m planning to go live on my Facebook Page at 1:00 ET this afternoon to make another touch of tropics card with the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered bundle. Look forward to seeing you then!
