Stampin with Shirley G

Two days until Easter and here I am making Mother’s Day cards.  For other people of course, as I lost my Mother last year.  There are still a lot of other mothers that I can make cards for.

My design is from The Paper Player Sketch Challenge 386.

I used the colored Berry Burst and Pear Pizzazz.  They are bright cheery colors for Mothers.

My card is the standard 4-1/4 x 5-1/2.

The mat is 4 x 5 cut from Whisper White.  This is embossed with the Layered Leaves TEIF.

I cut a circle from Berry Burst cardstock using a circle die.  The art piece is from the Birthday Blooms stamp set.  I colored the art piece using Berry Burst and Pear Pizzazz Stampin Write Markers.   I fussy cut this and popped it on the circle.

The greeting on the front is from the March Paper Pumpkin as is the sentiment inside. I used the Berry Burst Stamp Pad to stamp the greeting and the inside sentiment.  I used one of the embellishment from the Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit on the inside sentiment.

That’s my card for today.  Come again another day!

HAPPY EASTER, HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY, HAPPY PASSOVER!

Sale-A-Bration ends tomorrow March 31.

Can you believe it is 3 days until Easter.  I remember Easter as a child.  It was always so much fun.  My Granny always made me a new dress.  You always got a new dress and shoes for Easter.  Usually, white patten leather, do they even make those any more?  Everyone dressed up in their finest clothes to go to church on Easter morning,  now people wear whatever.  Guess I am guilty of that also.

My design for today is from this week’s Just Us Girls challenge.  This is Photo Week #433 Challenge.

This is directions for you to make the card. Start with a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock. 

Add a mat cut from Tranquil Tide cardstock and emboss with the Basket Weaver TEIF.  Cut a 4×4 mat from Melon Mambo cardstock for the art piece.  Using the Flying Home Stamp set and Memento Basic Black Ink stamp the art piece on  Whisper White cardstock cut 3-3/4 x 3-3/4.

Color the art piece using Soft Sky, Melon Mambo, Old Olive, and Daffodil Delight Stampin Write Markers and a Blender Pen.  Wind three strands of Linen Thread around the art piece securing the thread with a glue dot on the back of the art piece. Make a tiny bow using the Linen Thread and adhere it to the art piece just under the birdhouse.  Adhere this to the Melon Mambo mat and pop it on the Tranquil Tide mat.

The happy birthday is from the Teeny Tiny Expression Stamp Set, stamped in Tranquil Tide on a scrap of paper and then punched out using a small paper punch for greetings.  Use the die from the Petal Palette Stamp Set Bundle to die cut the embellishment piece for the happy birthday.

The inside sentiment is from the Balloon Adventure Stamp Set.  The artwork is from the Flying Home Stamp Set. Cut a mat 4 x 5 using Tranquil Tide cardstock.  Adhere this to the card base using liquid glue.  Stamp the sentiment using a Tranquil Tide  Classic Stampin Pad for the ink.  Color the artwork using Soft Sky, Melon Mambo, and Old Olive  Stampin Write Markers and a Blender Pen.  Adhere this to the Tranquil Tide mat.

That’s it! Finished.

Hope you enjoy making it as much as I did!

I made this for one of my Stampin Up friends and hope that it has been received by now so she won’t see it for the first time on here.

 

My card today is made from products from the Occasions catalog and Sale-A-Brations catalog.

I started with one of the cards from the Tutti Frutti card pack, FREE with a $50 purchase from the Annual or Occasions catalog.  I then cut a piece of the Petal Passion DSP from the Occasions catalog. Cut 4 x 5-1/4.  I colored it using my Stampin Write Pens. I cut the piece at an angle and used both pieces on the card, leaving a  space between the two pieces.  I cut the word CELEBRATE using another Sale-A-Bration product, which is FREE with a $100 product purchase from either the Occasions or Annual catalog.

I cut the flower from a scrap of Daffodil Delight cardstock and the leaves were cut from Old Olive cardstock.  I adhered these to the front using Stampin dimensionals.  I used liquid glue to adhere the word CELEBRATE to the card.

The inside sentiment is stamped using Memento Black Ink on Whisper White cardstock cut at 4 x 5.  I matted it on another piece of the Petal Passion DSP, adhering it to the inside of the card using liquid glue.

I  visited Samford University today with my granddaughter.  They have a great school of dance and that is what she is thinking of choosing as a career.  She has danced since she was three.  She is a beautiful dancer, would you not agree with me.

Thank you for stopping by, please come again.

It is storming outside, so the weather channel advises.   They say we are going to have golf ball size hail.  Sure hope not.  Cars will be damaged.  A tornado watch is in effect until 4 a.m.  We have barely a dribble.

Can you believe Easter is two weeks away?  Maybe the weather will be nice and warm on that Sunday.  It seems it is winter one day, spring the next and summer the next.  It can be 30 degrees in the morning and 70 at 3 pm.  Not complaining just stating facts.

I am using one of the envelopes from the March Paper Pumpkin to make my card.  I told someone that the envelopes in the March Paper Pumpkin were too pretty to just use for an envelope, so I created a card from it.

I trimmed the back side of the envelope. 

The art piece of the envelope is 5-3/8. The cards I usually make are 5-1/2, so this card is larger 7-3/4 total.  I will use a business size envelope for mailing.

The piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock that I used for the card base is only 11 inches long.  It was not large enough to make the fold of the card the way it should be. I took the flap from the envelope and attached it to the short side.  You can see the flap of the envelope in the picture about. It gives a nice decorative touch to the card.

I cut a piece of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock 5-5/8 for the mat.  I adhered this to the Daffodil Delight base with liquid glue.  I then popped the art piece from the envelope. I popped the flower art piece from the March Paper Pumpkin onto the envelope art piece.  I stamped the sentiment on the from on a tag from the Paper Pumpkin.  I used the Happy Easter stamp from the Hold On to Hope stamp set from the 2018 Occasions catalog.

The inside sentiment and butterflies are from the Hold On to Hope stamp set also.  I stamped them in Pear Pizzazz. I adhered it to the card base using liquid glue.

That’s my card for today, creating an alternative using the Paper Pumpkin kit.  I really love this kit.  Was going to order refills, but there are no refills for this kit, it was so popular.
