This is part 2 of a 4 part series featuring the Curvy Dies and Quite Curvy Stamp Set from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. They were part of the Quite Curvy Bundle. These 5 cards are a bit more complex than the ones I posted yesterday.  Each of these cards use 2 die cut pieces made with the Curvy Dies.  

-I used a Mint Macaron Card Base for this card.

-The bottom mat was cut from Pretty Peacock CS.

-The top mats (2 pieces) both cut from a single piece of Mint Macaron CS using the "Burst" Curvy Die.

I cut some off the top and bottom of the two pieces so I could insert a piece of Forever Greenery DSP in the center behind them. 

-The "leaf" pieces were cut from Pretty Peacock CS using one of the Forever Fern Dies.

-The 3 birds were stamped with Memento Ink on White CS. They were colored with Old Olive, Mint Macaron and Pretty Peacock Stampin' Blends, and popped up with Dimensionals.

-The sentiment is from the featured stamp set and was stamped with Pretty Peacock Ink.

-Lastly I added a few Gold Sequins.

-This card was CASED from one I saw on Pinterest by Lynda Emerson.

-The Bottom Mat on this card was cut from Pretty Peacock CS.

-The Top Mats (2 pieces) were both cut from a single piece of Lemon Lime Twist CS using the Dotted Curvy Die.

-Then I used the Leaf Pattern Die from the Curvy Dies to emboss and cut out leaves from the top piece. I also repeated the cut on a scrap piece of Pretty Peacock CS and inserted the individual Pretty Peacock leaves into the holes on the Lemon Lime Twist piece.  I used a small dab of Tombow Glue to hold them in place.

-I used the same DSP set for the center piece as above.

-These two birds were colored with the Pretty Peacock and Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends and then popped up.

-The sentiment is the same as on the card above.

-Lastly I added some coordinating Faceted Dots.

-For this third card the Bottom Mat was cut from White CS.

-The Top Mats (2 pieces) were both cut from a piece of Old Olive CS that I had embossed using the Tasteful Texture Embossing Folder. When you use the dotted die to cut both of the pieces they do not align the same as on the above two cards. Adjust the open space as desired.

-The sentiment is from the featured stamp set and was stamped with Mossy Meadow ink.

-The leaf branch pieces were cut from Mossy Meadow CS using a die from the featured bundle.

-The 3 birds were cut from Mango Melody CS, the leaf piece was cut from White CS, they were colored with Calypso Coral, Pumpkin Pie, and Old Olive Stampin' Blends and popped up with Dimensionals.

-Lastly I added a few Champagne Rhinestones.

-For this next card I used Pumpkin Pie and Mossy Meadow CS for the mats. I embossed the Pumpkin Pie CS using the Hammered Metal Embossing Folder.

-I used the Dotted Curvy dies for the cuts on the Pumpkin Pie Piece. And then I used the Leaf Pattern Die from the Curvy Dies to emboss and cut out leaves from the bottom piece, this time I just let the Mossy Meadow CS show thru the holes.

 -I used the same CS as on the card above to cut out the leaf piece, the leaf branches, and the birds as above, and the same Stampin' Blends to color them.

-Lastly I added some Gold Sequins as shown.

-I will add a sentiment at a later date.  I always like the flexibility of having a few cards without pre-stamped sentiments on them.

-For this last card I cut the bottom mat from Just Jade CS that I embossed using the Tasteful Texture Embossing Folder.

-The top mats were cut from a single sheet of Rich Razzleberry CS - using the Dotted Curvy Die for both pieces and attaching them to a piece of White CS - this time I left a bit more space between the two halves so I would have room for the Leaf cutout.

-The leaf cutout was colored with Just Jade, Rich Razzleberry, and Misty Moonlight Stampin' Blends.

-The birds were colored with Rich Razzleberry and Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends.

-The sentiment from the featured set was stamped with Versamark Ink.

-And lastly I added some Coastal Cabana Rhinestones.

 This is part 1 of a 4 part series featuring the Curvy Dies and Quite Curvy Stamp Set from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. They were part of the Quite Curvy Bundle. These 7 cards are pretty basic, feature various DSP, and are quick and easy to make.  Don't feel you have to use the same patterned DSP - pick from something you have on hand and coordinate it with matching CS.

Here are all of my cards made with the February 2021 Paper Pumpkin Kit - Bouquet of Hope.  All were inspired by the kit or cards I saw on Pinterest.

These first 3 cards feature the large die cut bouquet:

These next 3 cards feature the smaller flower cutouts:

 These next 5 cards feature the flower bouquet stamp from the kit colored with Stampin' Blends:

These last 3 cards feature the same stamp but this time heat embossed using Versamark and White Embossing Powder:

These cards feature the Peony Dies from the Prized Peony Bundle from Stampin' Up!  I did several posts last year (Sept. 15, 16, 17 & 19 of 2020) if you would like to see more cards made using the Peony featured in this Die Set. It is very unique, I just love the way the flower "pops" on the card.

I also posted 3 additional cards yesterday - so take a look at that post for basics on how the peony is made.

These first two cards were made similarly, the 3 peonies on each were made and then simply attached to a piece of Coordinating colored top mat of DSP,  that was layered on a bottom mat of Coordinating Cardstock.

-The peony on this first card was cut from Wisteria Wonder CS and the edges and center piece were colored with Wisteria Wonder Ink.

-The leaves were cut from Old Olive CS and the edges colored with Old Olive Ink.

-The bottom mat was cut from Wisteria Wonder CS.

-The next was "carefully" embossed on a piece of Vellum using the Dainty Diamond embossing folder.

-The feature mat on the top was cut from Mossy Meadow CS.

-Lastly I added a few Iridescent Pearls.

-The peony on this second card was cut from Vellum and then the petals were colored on the back of the pieces with the Real Red Stampin' Blends.

-The leaves were also cut from vellum and coloed with the Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blends.

-The top featured mat was cut from a piece of Peony Garden DSP and mounted as shown on a bottom mat cut from Real Red CS.

-I added two pieces of Basic Gray Shimmer Ribbon as shown.

-Lastly a few coordinating Enamel Shapes.

-The peonies of this third card were cut from White CS, and the edges were colored with Wisteria Wonder, Mint Macaron, and Balmy Blue Inks.

-The flower centers were cut from scraps of the same color CS.

-The top mat was cut from a piece of Perennial Essence DSP.

-The bottom Mat was cut from Wisteria Wonder CS.

-The top mat was cut from a piece of See a Silhouette DSP.

These cards feature the Peony Dies from the Prized Peony Bundle from Stampin' Up!  I did several posts last year (Sept. 15, 16, 17 & 19 of 2020) if you would like to see more cards made using the Peony featured in this Die Set. It is very unique, I just love the way the flower "pops" on the card.

The flower is made from four die cuts and then assembled.  After the individual pieces were die cut, I shaded each piece with a sponge dauber and matching ink around the outside edges.  You can see that I applied a wider strip of color to the bottom of each piece, and just a bit of color to the top edge. Then the pieces are assembled from smallest to largest, by inserting them inside the next larger piece. The pieces all align at the bottom edge which is easiest to see from the back of the flower.  I attached two glue dots to the bottom of the back of the piece to hold them in place. 

I had made seveal extra Peonies last year and had them in my stash.  These are some of the cards I made with them.  I will be posting a few more tomorrow.

I used Vellum for the the top mat that I colored using Stampin' Blends with Alcohol to color the vellum.  There are many good videos on You Tube that show the process - I suggest watching several  before trying it yourself. There is quite a learning curve.

For this first card I used:

-Bermuda Bay and Magenta Madness Blends,

-Magenta Madness CS for the bottom layer mat under the vellum,

-Magenta Madness and Coastal Cabana CS for the Peony and Leaves,

-the sentiment is from the featured set,

-and a few coordinating Enamel Shapes

For this second card I used:

-Merry Merlot and Old Olive Blends,

-Merry Merlot CS for the bottom layer mat under the vellum,

-Merry Merlot and Old Olive CS for the Peony and Leaves.

For this third card I used:

-Old Olive and Magenta Madness Blends,

-Magenta Madness CS for the bottom layer mat under the vellum,

-Magenta Madness and Old Olive CS for the Peony and Leaves,

-the sentiment is from the Floral Frames Stamp Set.

This piece of Vellum had tiny white dots on it before it was colored.

 Here are all of the cards I made using the July 2020 Paper Pumpkin Summer Nights.  All were inspired by either the kit or cards I saw on Pinterest.

These first 5 cards feature the Vellum Jar:

These three feature the Lanterns:

These 3 feature the Ferris Wheel Die Cut:

And this last one using the Dandelion Wishes Stamps:
