Create With Friends Celebrate Card

Here’s a fun, colorful card that I made just to use the Create With Friends Stamp Set that I’ve had but hadn’t used much. Unfortunately, after making this card, the stamp set is already sold out and retired. But you can still use this card design and just substitute the greeting with something else you have.

After making the multicolor front of the card, I used Basic Black for the card base. Black really makes those colors stand out but you can use whatever goes with the colors that you choose. I made this interesting background using the stamp in the Artistically Inked Stamp Set. This stamp set is the Distinktive design which adds texture right to the stamp. I just chose several colors to use on the front of the card and stamped on a slight diagonal. I used Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green, and Real Red. A group of Subtles would be good too!.

The greeting was stamped on Basic White and die cut with one of the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. This set of dies is retiring soon. I also used the same die to cut out a Real Red piece of cardstock and cut that in half horizontally to layer underneath the white greeting. I also punched a hole on each side of the die cut so I could tie on some Real Red Faux Linen Ribbon. Before tying on ribbon I decided to stamp the dots in the Artistically Inked Stamp Set in all the colors I used in the background. Plus I had to add a few little Artistry Blooms Self-Adhesive Sequins. The greeting is popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Even though you can no longer purchase the greeting stamp set, you can still get the Artistically Inked Stamp Set and will continue to be able to buy it in the next annual catalog! That is great news to still have that stamp set available to us! So many artistic things you can do with the “Artistically Inked” stamp set!

Create With Friends Card

This Create With Friends Card came about because as I looked through the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog, I saw that the Create With Friends is a stamp set on the retirement list and I have only used it once or twice! What a shame! It is really a fun stamp set but it kind of got lost in the shuffle I guess! It’s like when you buy new clothes but don’t wear them for a while and then decide to get rid of them and the tags are still on the clothes!

In this stamp set, you will find words in a larger size cursive font that you can use alone or pair with extra words in a small print font. It is a stamp set designed by one of the Million Sales Achiever Demonstrators.

I actually came up with the idea for this card myself! What better word for us stampers to have than “Create”! I’m not exactly sure who you would send this card to except another stamping friend, but it was fun to make anyway!

The card base is Real Red cardstock with a layer of Basic White cardstock. I simply stamped the word “Create” on a diagonal, staggering the word placement. You need to stamp off the edge of the cardstock on each side when you do this so have scrap paper underneath your card! I just used Memento Black Ink but you could also make each word a different color or at least just use a few colors.

The greeting is stamped in black ink on Real Red cardstock and die cut with this die in the Painted Label Dies. Before I adhered the die-cut, popped up on several Stampin’ Dimensionals®, I wrapped a piece of Real Red 3/8″ Faux Linen Ribbon around the stamped layer. After adhering the greeting over the ribbon, I also tied some red ribbon in a knot on each side.

I could have left well enough alone, but why not add a few Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels? The red color is actually Cherry Cobbler, but no one will complain it’s not Real Red! I just scattered them among the stamped words.
