Timeless Tulips Stamp Set from Stampin Up with Masking & Paper Ribbon Techniques -Artisan Design Tip


Today I would like to share with you a couple fun techniques I used to create this beautiful Handmade Card. The first technique is masking. You can use this technique with many different stamp sets to create a layering look to your images. The second technique is how to create a Paper Ribbon using Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up. Paper Ribbons give you so many new options for adding texture and color to your projects. I hope you enjoy this handmade card tutorial and come back for more. I would love to see your finished creations that are inspired by this tutorial!

1- Create the Masks for the Tulips.

Stamp your Small & Medium Tulip images over the sticky area on a Sticky Post It Note in any color. Fussy cut right along the edge of the image. Create enough masks to cover all the small & medium tulips you want to stamp on your card. I needed 3 small and 3 medium.


2- When stamping with masks you work from the front to the back. So we will stamp the small tulips first. I stamped these in Polished Pink ink. Start about middle of the Basic White Cardstock and stamp two near each other and one on the other side a little higher. Then cover each stamped tulip with a matching mask.


3- Stamp the medium size tulip in Calypso Coral in a grouping of three in the center of the card. You do want to stamp over the masks a little to create depth. Add the matching masks over the medium tulips.


4- Stamp the large tulip in Pale Papaya near the top of the cardstock. Again make sure to stamp over the other flowers for depth and layering.


5- With one of the stem images stamp a stem for each flower in Old Olive ink.


6- Next stamp some leaves along each stem in Old Olive ink.


7- Remove the masks to see the magic!


8- Stamp your choice of greeting on one of the Basic White Cardstock in Polished Pink ink. Then cut out with one of the Tasteful Label Dies.


9- Paper Ribbon: Begin with 2 strips of Designer Series Paper that are slightly larger (3/4”) in width than your final size (1/2”). Glue them together with liquid glue so the same pattern is showing on the front and back. Trim each side at 1/8” so you don’t see any of the inside pattern showing. Final size ½” strip.


10- Depending on your size of label you may need to trim the length of the strip. I trimmed it to 11”. Then flag each end. You can use the Banners Pick A Punch or a pair of Paper Snips.


11- On the back of the greeting add adhesive and attach the middle of the strip to the back. Then wrap back and forth to create a “Z” shape.


12- Attach a fun pattern to the left edge of the stamped tulips with about ¼” showing. Add to the front of the cardbase with dimensionals.


13- Then place the greeting with dimensionals in the bottom right corner. Then add three Matte Black Dots to finish the card.

All Done!

Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine 149653 $120.00


1- Stamp the large flower on the stem in Evening Evergreen on Basic White Cardstock.

2- Technique #1: VersaMark Ink

Stamp the fill in images that coordinate with the large flower & small flower with VersaMark ink.


Choose two Soft Pastels colors for your flowers, I did Mango Melody & Poppy Parade. On scratch paper rub the pastels to create a chalky dust. With a Sponge Dauber pick up the dust and pat it over the VersaMark images. Avoid rubbing as it will tint the cardstock as well. Remove the excess dust by blowing it off or lightly wiping it using a soft tissue.

Repeat for the leaves of the stem with the Mossy Meadow Soft Pastel. Make sure to use a different Sponge Dauber.


3- Technique #2: Blender Pen

With a Blender Pen pick up color directly from the Mossy Meadow Pastel and add it to more delicate areas like the stem. Continue to go back and pick up color as the pen loses color. To clean the tip rub on some scratch paper until it runs clear.


4- Cut out with the coordinating die.


5- Technique #3: Create a Gradient

Choose one or multiple colors for a background gradient or ombre look. On the Basic White 3 ¾” Cardstock piece place a lot of color, I used Mango Melody, in the center.


Then take a soft tissue and blend the color out to create a nice gradient.


6- Cut out  the Scallop edge die in Mango Melody. Then add it to the Basic White Cardstock that has the gradient about 1/3 way from the bottom. Trim the sides.

7- Add the large stamped flower coming off the right side and above the scallop edge.


8- Add some Adhesive Sheet to the back of Poppy Parade & Mossy Meadow, then cut out some flowers and leaves. Then tuck the large flower and leaf behind the stamped flower and the smaller ones at the bottom over the scallop edge.


9- From the Tailor Made Tags Die cut out the 1” wide tag and stamp the “Thanks” greeting in Evening Evergreen. Then cut 4” of Mossy Meadow Braided Linen Trim. String through the tag. Then wrap around the Mossy Meadow Trim with 8” of White Bakers Twine and tie a bow. Unravel the ends of the Mossy Meadow Trim. Trim the ends. Adhere this to the card with dimensionals.


10- Add everything on the Mossy Meadow Cardstock so about 1/16 border is showing. Then add this to the center of the So Saffron Cardbase. Last add 5 Elegant Faceted Gems in White around the images.

All Done!

Green Leaf Die Cut

Pink Leaf Die Cut

Thanks Vellum

Fresh Freesia Cardbase – solid ½” x 4 ½”

Extra Cardstock:

Basic White Cardstock for stamping & ½” strip



Here is a list of the supplies I used to make the cards:

Basic White Cardstock 159276 $9.75

Take Your Pick Tool 144107 $10.00


1- Add the 4” x 2 5/8” Vellum Pattern Paper to the bottom of the Bumblebee Cardbase. Add the Green Leaf Die Cut (removed one section for card #1) and the Pink Leaf Die Cut (removed one section for card #2) to the center with some of the leaves touching the top of the vellum piece. Make sure to add adhesive behind each leaf.


2- With a 3” Circle Die, cut a circle from the top half of the cardbase making sure it is centered. Add dimensionals to the back of the circle and adhere to the inside of the cardbase so it matches up with the front.


3- Stamp in Evening Evergreen on Basic White Cardstock three large flowers and five small flowers. Color in the flowers with coordinating colors. I used Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink, & Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blend Markers. Then fussy cut out just the large flowers from the images and all the small flowers.


4- Punch or cut a banner from each end of the ½” x 4 ½” strip of Fresh Freesia. Add the Thank You vellum piece in the center of the strip. Add over the circle with dimensionals only on the sides. So it is attached to the front of the card and not the circle.


5- Tie a bow with 10” of Evening Evergreen Twine. Place under the circle on the front of the card with glue dots. Add a large flower over the center of the bow with a dimensional. Place the other large and small flowers around the greeting. Make sure some are on the circle. Place three sequins.


6- Stamp “For Everything” on the ½” strip of Basic White Cardstock and trim the sides. Add to the circle with dimensionals under the Thanks so you only see it when you open the card.

All Done!

Card-in-Card Fun Fold Alternative Handmade Card Idea using June 2021 Paper Pumpkin Kit - Stampin Up

Welcome to Paper Pumpkin Week here at Creative Chelsey. For the next couple days, I will share a new alternative idea using the June 2021 Paper Pumpkin Kit – Expressions In Color. The card I am sharing with you today is another fun fold handmade card idea. This one is called a Card in a Card. This fun fold card idea is a great idea on how to turn the smaller cardbase from the kit into a full size 4 ¼” x 5 ½” handmade card. Plus it gives you another “card front” to decorate.

Here are the dimensions and pieces you will need to create these cards:

From the Kit:

Evening Evergreen Cardbase

Evening Evergreen Pattern Piece

Vellum Flower

Purple Leaf Die Cut

Pink Leaf Die Cut

Hexagon Label

Large Rectangle Label

Scrap Piece from the Corner of the Leaf Die Cuts

10” of Evening Evergreen Twine

Sequins

Extra Cardstock:

Pale Papaya Cardstock – Cardbase 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”

Basic White Cardstock – 4” x 5 ¼”



Here is a list of the supplies I used to make the cards:

Pale Papaya Cardstock 155668 $8.75

Basic White Cardstock 159276 $9.75

Paper Trimmer 152392 $25.00

Simply Shammy 147042 $8.00

Stampin’ Seal Adhesive 152813 $8.00

Multipurpose Liquid Glue 110755 $4.00

Bone Folder 102300 $7.00

Stampin' Pierce Mat 126199 $5.00

Take Your Pick Tool 144107 $10.00


1- On the front of the Pale Papaya Cardbase randomly stamp the “ink spot/wash” in Bumblebee ink. Use the stamp off – stamp on technique to get a lighter color. Then stamp the small flower and leaf image in Bumblebee ink in each “ink spot/wash”. I grouped them into groups of 3 flowers & 2 leaves.


2- Remove ½” from the right edge of the cardbase. Adhere this strip to the inside back piece of the cardbase so it lines up with the front when closed.


3- Fold the Evening Evergreen Cardbase from the kit inside out so the white is now on the outside and the green is on the inside. Slide it over the front of the Pale Papaya cardbase and center. Then open the Pale Papaya cardbase and add adhesive to the back of the smaller cardbase. Then close the back side of the Pale Papaya cardbase over the adhesive to adhere the smaller cardbase to the larger.


4- On the front of the cardbase add the Evening Evergreen Pattern Piece to the center of the white smaller cardbase. Cut the Flower Vellum piece in half and add to the right edge over the pattern. Remove one section from the Purple Leaf and add the now two section Purple Leaf to the center. Remove the single Pink Leaf section from the whole and add it near the bottom of the Purple Leaves (watch the video below if this is confusing).


5- Stamp the greeting “You Are Amazing” in Bumblebee ink on the Hexagon Label. Add to the center of the leaves with dimensionals. Tie a bow with 10” of twine and add under the greeting with a glue dot. Add three sequins.


6- On the back – now Evening Evergreen side add the other half of the Vellum Flower to the left side. Add the single purple leaf, then cut the smallest branch from the other Pink Leaf and add it as well.


7- Stamp “Thanks” in Bumblebee Ink on the Large Rectangle add it below the leaves. Stamp “For Everything” on some scrap paper and cut out each word. Then add below “thanks”.


8- Stamp the “ink spot/wash” with Stamp off – stamp on technique on the scrap piece of paper. Then stamp three small flowers inside and fussy cut out. Add these around the greeting. Add a sequin inside each flower.


9- Add the 4” x 5 ¼” Basic White Cardstock to the inside of the card for your message.

All Done!
