Beautiful Friendship--Split Front Card

 Beautiful Friendship--Split Front Card


It's a beautiful, sunny day in San Diego today (as are most of them) with the highs in the mid-70s so it's basically a perfect Spring day, which is why I thought to play with the Beautiful Friendship stamp set! I've made so many cards with this stamp set, and no matter what color combination you use, it's always a gorgeous card. But the sad thing about this stamp set is that it is retiring on May 3rd, so if you like it you'd better snap it up now. So grab 3 colors that go together and any of our Stampin' Up greens for the leaves and have a go at these easy cards--this will be a 2 for 1 card class. Here are the 2 cards separately.


Supplies you will need for these cards:
      1. Whisper or Basic White cardstock cut 8 1/2 by 5 1/2"
      2. Rich Razzleberry cardstock cut 4 1/8" by 5 3/8" X2
      3. Daffodil Delight cardstock cut 8 1/2 by 5 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4"  and folded in half, X2
      4.Whisper White/Basic White cut 5 by 3 3/4" for the inside X2
      5. Stamp set--Beautiful Friendship (#149252)
      6. Ink--Rich Razzleberry, Highland Heather, Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green
      7.Basic supplies-- bone folder, Dimensionals, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Piercing Mat

Directions for the card:

Start by aligning your 1/2 sheet of Whisper White cardstock on your grid paper in a landscape mode, so that you can tell where center is, or make some light pencil marks top and bottom to help you stamp. Then stamp the large 2 flower bunch multiple times using Highland Heather ink facing outward from the center trying to off-set these a bit.



Next grab the 2 smaller flowers and your Rich Razzleberry ink and stamp one at the top and one (or more) on either side of the center group of flowers, filling in between them. Stamp this on the inside piece and your envelopes also. Using the same ink and the big, single flower fill in the center and at least one across the bottom. Also use the Rich Razzleberry ink for the centers of the flowers (notice there are 2 clumps of centers--I used the bigger one on the bigger roses and the smaller bunch on the smaller ones).

Now take your Daffodil Delight and the long sprig of flowers and fill in between the flowers and a couple across the bottom, and then fill in the leaves with Granny Apple Green and the 2 leaf stamps. Notice I stamped some leaves twice without re-inking (second generation stamping or "stamping off").


Once you are satisfied, cut the paper in half and then cut it down to 4 by 5 1/4", add a sentiment and attach the 2 stamped pieces to the Rich Razzleberry piece of cardstock and then to the Daffodil Delight card bases. Attach the smaller piece of Whisper White to the inside of the card.

Here's how they would look side by side as if they were just cut in half.


And here's the inside.

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w...

  Pick of the Patch Joy Fold Card This fun joy fold card just makes me smile. I'm loving the Pick of the Patch bundle lately for its versatility--it can make beautiful fall cards, great Thanksgiving cards, and today a Halloween card. And all from a relatively inexpensive punch bundle. Now are you wondering where the Pumpkin Pie Designer Series Paper in the background is from? It's not DSP--I made it with the Sketched Plaid background stamp. Another versatile stamp set that I'm sure will be making an appearance on some holiday cards later this year. For some hints and tips on using this large sized stamp, and making this card, please watch my Facebook Live down below. Better yet, join me every Monday at 1 pm PST on my Stamp with Dr Robin Facebook group to make another fun card.  Time to make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Basic Black cardstock --Card base 4 1/4" by 8 1/2"" scored on the long side at  3" and folded along the score line. Second piece 3...

Playing with Thoughtful Journey DSP Hopefully you have received your new 2024-25 Annual Catalog by now--if not please email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com and let me send you one if you don't have a demonstrator. I am making a card today using the gorgeous 6" by 6" Thoughtful Journey DSP as each page is more beautiful than the last. These pages are stand alone amazing--all they really need is a sentiment added to make a card, but I thought I'd fancy them up today with some other new products. I am loving the In Color Glimmer Paper as well as the Unbounded Love bundle that I used for the sentiment. If you have trouble following along with these directions, please watch my Facebook live below.   Let's make this card. Gather your supplies:  1. Mossy Meadow cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at  4 1/4" and folded along the score line. A second piece 3 3/4" by 2 3/8" 2. Basic White cardstock-- 3 3/4" by 5...
