Stampin’ Up! Botanical Bliss

Stampin’ Up! Botanical Bliss

Welcome!

At first I thought this stamp set would be a bust, but I am finding  that it is really great and I am really liking the cards made using it.

Since this is a thank you card, I decided to play along with the fun at the CAS ON FRIDAY Challenge.

This is really an easy and simple card.   The base is Whisper White cut 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5-1/2″.   The Tranquil Tide mat is 4″ x 5-1/4″.  The Whisper White art piece is 3-3/4″ x 5″.  This is the piece that has the die cut from the Botanical Bliss Bundle.  The art piece is adhered to the Tranquil Tide mat with Liquid Glue.   There was 4 Thanks greetings die cut and adhered together to give some dimension. It is adhered with Liquid Glue to the art piece.  My thanks is different than the one listed in the list of products.  It is an old, old die from years past, but wanted you to know that Stampin’ Up! has one that you can purchase.  I could not find my Thank You, so I had to settle for this one as I wanted to use a die cut for the Thanks.

The inside sentiment panel is die cut like the front art piece.  The sentiment is from the stamp set Bella and Friends. The die cut was extended to make a mat for the art piece.  The sentiment piece looks almost as good as the front panel of the card.

Thank you for stopping by today.  My hope is that you found something to encourage or inspire you in your creative endeavors.

Stampin’ Up! Products Used In Creating This Card


Red Tide At Sunset

Red Tide At Sunset

This is a cute little card, I think.  I like the way this little watercolor piece turned out.  I started out watercoloring a piece of watercolor paper with Merry Merlot, Flirty Flamingo, Coastal Cabana and Pool Party.  I had no idea out it would turn out.  The first piece was not quite what I was wanting, so I tried again.  This time I cut a smaller piece and watercolored it.  After watercoloring about 3/4th of the piece, I thought “Oh that looks like a sunset at the beach with the Red Tide coming into shore.

I used the 2 inch layering square framelits to cut the piece from the Iarger piece I had watercolored.  I used a black Stampin Write Marker to draw the two birds. 

I cut a panel 4 x 5-1/4 from Whisper White cardstock and embossed using the Seaside TIEF.  I popped this on the Whisper White card base using Stampin Dimensionals.  I then popped the watercolored pieced onto the embossed panel.  The thanks greeting on the from is from the Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set.  I stamped it using Merry Merlot Stampin Pad on a scrap of the piece I had watercolored.  I drew around the stamp that the word Thanks was on and fussy cut it.  I popped it below the watercolor square.

The inside sentiment is also from the Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set. I probably should have watercolored then stamped, so since I didn’t I used my heat tool to dry the sentiment I had stamped in Black Memento Ink. I sponged the colors around the sentiment and then used an Aqua Painter to spread the ink around very carefully, so I would not mess up the sentiment.  I discovered that was a great way to watercolor, sponge the color on dry and then use water.

These are the Challenges I am playing with today:  Inkspire_me CHALLENGE #358 and CAS ON FRIDAY

Coastal Cabana, Lime, Purple

Coastal Cabana, Lime, Purple

My card will be entered in the following challenges Watercooler Wednesday Challenge 172


Paper Players Sketch PP395 is another of the challenges I am entering

 

I think it is amazing that you can take two pictures of the same card and the colors turn out so different looking.  My Coastal Cabana and Lime Green do not look like the colors they are supposed to be.  The color of the cup with the plant is supposed to be Coastal Cabana but it doesn’t look even close to the stitched circle behind the Lime Stitched circle.

The base is Whisper White cardstock with a Basic Black mat embossed with the Layering Leaves TEFI. This popped on the Whisper White card base.  The Coastal Cabana and Lime Stitched circle are popped on the Layering Leaving panel.  The twine wrapped around the art panel is from the Nature’s Twine collection of twine.  I think it is a beautiful shade of purple.

I cut the art piece from the Color Me DSP and copied it to the Lime Stitched Circle.  I colored the art piece using the Coastal Cabana and Lemon Lime Stampin Pads.   The Coastal Cabana does not look like it is that color.

I did not put an inside sentiment as I have many thank you sentiments to choose from and will choose when I send it.

Hello and Thanks

Hello and Thanks

I have multiple cards for today’s post.  Well to be exact just 2. The  first is CAS(E) this Sketch #269

I started with a card base of Marina Mist. Cut 4-1/4 x 11, scored at 5-1/2.

A panel of Whisper White cardstock was cut 5 x 3-3/4 for the art piece.

I used the Pretty Kitty and Bella and Friends Stamp Set to stamp the art work in the corners using Memento Black Ink.

I colored the art piece using the Stampin Up Watercolor Pencils.  I cut the two balloons from the Birthday Memories DSP. This was adhered to the card base using Liquid clue.

The inside sentiment is from the Pretty Kitty Stamp Set.  

That’s all for this card.

The next card is for the  INKSPIRE_me CHALLENGE #348

 

I started with a card base of Daffodil Delight. Cut 4-1/4 by 11, scored at 5-1/2.

A one inch strip of Basic Black card stock and adhered it to the card base on the left side. I trimmed a stripe of the Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut Speciality Papers and adhered it to the Basic Black strip.  I cut a half circle and adhered another piece of the Delightfully Detailed Laser Paper to it and popped it in the right corner.  The greeting was stamped on a scrap of card stock and popped on a piece of Basic Black.  Both were punched out using retired punches from a few years ago. 

The Inside sentiment is from the Dragonfly Dreams Stamp Set. It was stamped on a panel of Whisper White card stock which was adhered, using Liquid Glue, to a panel of Basic Black card stock. This was adhered to the Daffodil Delight card base using Liquid Glue.

Kindness Makes A Difference

Kindness Makes A Difference

I didn’t realize when I made this card for a kindness done for me that it can be for three different challenges.  After I got it made, I thought I need to make some cards for challenges.  When I went to look at what the challenges were for the week, was I  ever surprised!

Flowers, ribbon, and bird for this one.

Then there is the Viva La Verve Challenge for the week.

The Third One Tic, Tac Toe Challenge 045.  Flowers, Free, Thanks

I am truly amazed at being able to do three.  For me that is unbelievable.

I started with a card base of Tranquil Tide. Then I embossed a 5 x 3-3/4 panel of Whisper White with the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder.

The Tranquil Tide mat for the Share What You Love art piece is cut 3-3/4 x 3-3/4.  The art piece is cut 3-1/2 x 3-1/2. I adhered the art piece to the Tranquil Tide mat with Liquid Glue and popped it on the Whisper White embossed panel and wrapped a length of Tranquil Tide Finely Woven Ribbon around the panel and secured it on the back with tape.

I then adhered the Whisper White panel to the Tranquil Tide card base.  A greeting from the Blooming With Kindness stamp set was stamped on a Whisper White circle that had been cut using a circle die and a scalloped circle die.  The bird was stamped in Tranquil Tide ink on a scrap of Tranquil Tide cardstock and cut using the die from the Backyard Basic Thinlits Dies. The bird along with flowers that had been cut from the Share What You Love DSP was popped on the circle with the greeting.  Rhinestone embellishments were used on the flower centers, and my usual little heart was placed beside the greeting.

The inside sentiment was stamped using the Petal Palette Stamp Set on a Whisper White panel.  I off-stamped the birds once and then stamped on the panel.

That’s it for today. Visit again.  Have a blessed day!
