Sue's Super Stampers

The theme for this months Blog Hop is anything spring! I love everything about spring, flowers, sunshine, warm weather, and birds. One of my very dear friends has been struggling with the stay at home orders in our state and I wanted to brighten her day with a special card. She loves birds and like myself has multiple bird feeders, baths, and houses. We both have nests of bluebirds in our yards. That is why I chose bluebirds for the card front, but that’s not all – when you open the card you are surprised with an accordion fold and multiple layers of birds attached. Here’s how I went about creating this card.

Start with a piece of card-stock, I used Seaside Spray. Cut the sheet to 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score and fold at 4 1/4″.

Choose a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) and cut to 10″ X 5 3/8″. Score at 2″, 3″, 4″, 5″, 6″, 7″ and 8″. Reinforce your score lines using a bone folder. Accordion fold on the score lines starting and ending with a Valley fold.

Attach the two end pieces to the card inside (front and back). I used Tear and Tape to secure this firmly since it will be a moving part.

Cut out 5 birds from the Bird Ballad DSP.

Using Whisper White card-stock . Stamp desired sentiment on one piece, the others will be used for the birds. Glue one bird on each piece. Glue the label to the inside folds of the accordion pleats. They will pop out as the card is opened.

For the card front I used a piece of Whisper White card-stock cut to 5 1/4″ X 4″ and then a floral piece of DSP cut to 5″ X 3 3/4″.

On another piece of WW card-stock cut 2 1/2″ X 4″ I stamped the stamp with multiple birds on a branch and colored it in using Stampin Blends. I torn the top and bottom and lightly sponged the edge.. For the sentiment at the top I cut a piece of Seaside Spray card-stock 3 3/4″ X 3″ and a piece of WW card-stock 1/2″ X 2 3/4″. On the WW I stamped a saying in Seaside Spray and adhered to the front of card near the top.

Thank you for joining our Blog Hop this month, we hope to see you every month. Please stop by our other talented N C Demo Blog Hoppers.

One sheet wallet or photo album

April 1, 2020 suestapp

Yes thats right, this adorable project takes only one sheet of our beautiful Designer Series Paper(DSP)

DSP is our double sided sheets with coordinating prints and colors. It is ideal for reversible type projects like this one.

WE’ll start with the 12″ X 12″ piece and cut off a four inch strip so we are left with t 8″ X 12″ piece of paper. Now, with the 8″ side along the top of your trimmer or score board score at 4″. Turn the paper so the 12″ edge is along the top and score at 3″, 6″, & 9″. Fold and burnish all your score lines then open up the sheet and cut along the middle score line up to the first 3″ line.

Next comes the folding but first you must choose which side you want for the inside and which for the outside. Once you have done that fold the scored line and the accordion fold the remaining strips.

Now you will glue along two edges to make pockets in your wallet. There will be three compartments. I used a 1″ circle punch placed half way into the pocket. This is where the photo, gift card or money can be placed and easily removed by the recipient.

Next take the 4″ X 8″ scrap that we cut off earlier. This will be wrapped around the wallet and you can choose how long you want it to me. My flap is less than half the front of the wallet

Decorate to whatever theme you would like. You can add stamped images, embellishments, bows, photos or any other desired pieces.

This will most likely take extra postage, depending on how much you add to the wallet.

I have made a quick You Tube video showing the simple steps:

March 2020 Monochromatic Card – Sepia Birthday

March 28, 2020March 30, 2020 suestapp

I love the look of monochromatic cards. I think they are very elegant looking and yet I don’t think to do them that often.

I was inspired by a video I viewed of Alisa Tilsner. I asked if she would mind if I cased it because I loved the look so much. Here is my version:

The sepia look is a water-colored cake using Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, and Early Espresso.

I stamped it with the crumb cake and then started layering on the colors using my aqua painter. I let it dry completely then cut fussy cut it out.

I sponged a base that measured 5″ X 3 3/4″ using the crumb cake ink. Next I took a scrap piece of whisper white and stamped it with the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Sale A Bration stamp set, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. I tore the edges; hint – to get a better effect tear the paper towards you and more of the rough edge will show. I then sponged those edges.

Last but not least is the assembly and embellishments. I used a base of Early Espresso card stock 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ and scored at 4 1/4″. Next is a piece of Whisper White card stock cut at 5 1/4 X 4″. The sponged piece with the cake is then layered on.

I used plenty of dimensional s behind the cake so it would stand up through the mail. I then added a touch of wink of Stella to the flowers for a little extra sumtin’ sumtin’, the final topping was five of the Champagne Jewels. I just love these beauties!

Time just goes too fast. Hard to beleive August is almost over and September is just around the corner. I am joining my fellow N C Stampin Up Demonstrators on this months Blog Hop. We were asked to use a floral piece as our inspiration. I did’nt have to go far. My front porch has two beauetful pots. I chose the colors in these pots based on colors I am attracted to and I like to go with something new each year. This spring I saw a basket that had two shades of purple and a coral color combination. It really caught my eye. It has been a very hot month here and they are not looking as good as earlier but I still love them.

You can barely see the coral color peeking out from behind, but it’s there. There is also a silver colored foliage.

I started with the Bloom and Grow Stamp Set. I stamped the longer floral piece with momento ink on Whisper White Cardstock. I then colored using my Stampin Blends Aldhol Markers so I could shade the various flowers and leaves. I used the coordinating die set, Budding Blooms to cut out the floral spray.

I applied Basic Black cardstock on the front of a standard A2 size card. I then used a scrap piece of Whisper White to stamp the sentiment in Highland Heather. I placed this in the center of the card and arranges the two floraal sprays at the top and bottom using Dimensionals. I added silver glimmer paper using the twig punch, just to add some bling and to represent the silver foliage in the flower pot.

I enjoy the seasons and as much as I hate to see summer go, I am super excited with the new Holiday Catalog that will be going live Sept. 4th. As a demonstrator i have the ability to preorder from our catalogs and I have already begun playing with the new products.
