March 2019 – Stampin with Shirley G

Happy Spring Birthday with Lovely Lattice

March 29, 2019 admin

My card today is created using the Lovely Lattice stamp set. Since it is a Sale-A-Bration item it will only be available for two more days or you can say three counting today. I think this is such a beautiful card. It is CAS(E)d from Tami Hewlett. Mine is pretty but hers is just so beautiful, I wanted to make one. Click on her name and it will take you there. She also has some great tips on this post.

My inspiration comes from the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge for this week and the Sketch Saturday Challenge.

My card starts with a Coastal Cabana card stock base, then a Coastal Cabana mat that has been cut with the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies. As my friend, Karen always says, why give instructions when you can get them better from the original source. Tami gives great instructions on how to do the next layer which is embossed with the Crackle stamp and then watercolored.

The Lovely Lattice image is stamped on Glossy card stock using Crumb Cake in and then Versa Mark ink and heat embossing using Clear Embossing Powder. The image is colored using Stampin’ Blends Pens in Flirty Flamingo, Mango Melody, Call Me Clover and the Color Lifter. After all the coloring is finished, the image is fussy cut and popped onto the Crackled mat using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting is stamped on a scrap of Whisper White card stock in Coastal Cabana ink and then trimmed out to have one end as a banner. This is popped onto the Whisper White and Coastal Cabana ribbons that have been applied with Glue Dots. A bow is made using the Whisper White Twine. The bow is popped on using a Glue Dot and an embellishment from the Share What You Love Embellishment Kit is popped in the middle of the bow. Several pearls from the Share What You Love Pearls is scattered over the card front.

The inside sentiment from the Detailed With Love stamp set is stamped in Coastal Cabana ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock and adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you like my card.

Beautiful Promenade

March 27, 2019 admin

Today’s card is very simple and easy to make and is created using the Beautiful Promenade and Picture Perfect stamp sets. Thank you Amy Koenders for the gift of the Beautiful Promenade stamp set.

My card design is coming from the Fab Friday Challenge for this week.

My card starts with a Smokey Slate card base. As you can see it is so simple, just the card base with two mats and then the greeting and art panel.

A panel of Blackberry Bliss is cut for the mat for the panel of Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper (DSP). These are adhered to each other and then to the card base.

I turned the panel of Petal Promenade DSP to the reverse side and cut a panel for the greeting. The greeting is stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink using a stamp from the Picture Perfect stamp set. Blackberry Bliss card stock is used for the mat for this panel also.

The big flower stamp from the Beautiful Promenade stamp set is used to stamp the flowers in Blackberry Bliss and Flirty Flamingo. They are cut out using the Beautiful Layers Thinlits Dies. The leaves are stamped in Mossy Meadow and cut using the leave die from this set. Three pearls from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls are scattered on the front of this panel. The flowers are popped onto the panel using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The leaves are stuck on the back of the flowers using Glue Dots. The finished panel is then popped on the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card front is finished.

The inside sentiment panel is equally as beautiful and as simple as the front of the card. Stamp the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink on the Whisper White card stock panel, then select a section of the Beautiful Promenade DSP that has pretty flowers close together so you are able to cut a 2″ panel to adhere opposite the sentiment. Adhere this finished panel to a Blackberry Bliss mat and then adhere to the card base.

Thanks for stopping by today. My hope is that you find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations. Have a blessed day!

Climbing Roses

March 25, 2019 admin

I loved making this card. I think it is so pretty. It is made using the Climbing Roses stamp set.

The inspiration for making it and the challenge for this card is the TGIF Challenge for the week. Stampin’ Blends are the highlight.

The Soft Sea Foam card base doesn’t show up as the color it is, but the card is still beautiful I think. A Highland Heather mat is added next. It is a good mix for the Soft Sea Foam and Whisper White card stock. The Whisper White card stock has been embossed using the Pinewood Planks Dynamic Textured Impression Embossing Folder (DTIEF)

A lattice is cut from a panel of Balmy Blue card stock using the lattice die from the Rose Trellis Thinlits Dies that is part of the Climbing Roses bundle. The Fine Tip Glue Pen was used to put the glue on such an intricate piece, it was then adhered to the Whisper White Pinewood Planks embossed panel.Tuxedo Memento Black Ink is used to stamp the Climbing Rose image on a square of Whisper White Thick card stock. The roses are colored using the Light Highland Heather and Light Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Pens. The Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter Pen was used to create the shading on the roses.

The greeting from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set is stamped in Highland Heather ink on a Whisper White circle that has been matted on a Soft Sea Foam circle cut from one of the Layering Circle Dies. Leaves have also been cut from Soft Sea Foam card stock. The leaves are adhered to the back of the circle using Glue Dots. A single rose is popped on the Whisper White circle using a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional. The Balmy Blue Ribbon is a Sale-A-Bration item and I did not include it in the list of items used as it is no longer available.

The inside sentiment is from the Picture Perfect Birthdays stamp set and is stamped in Highland Heather ink on a panel of Whisper White that has been matted on a Highland Heather card stock panel. Another stamp from the Climbing Roses stamp set is used to decorate the sentiment page. The flowers are stamped using Tuxedo Memento Black Ink and then colored using the same Stampin’ Blends Pens as the other roses.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you like my card. Have a blessed day.

My card is a CAS of Debbie Mageed’s card. Her card is absolutely beautiful but I can’t find the link to post so you can see it!

Dragonfly Dreams

March 23, 2019 admin

Here it is a cold weekend and I thought Spring had sprung, but guess there must be more days of cold. Have a great weekend anyway! I really used a lot of stamp sets on the creation of this card. Hello Cupcake, Beautiful Bouquet, Itty Bitty Greetings stamp sets and the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies.

These are my challenges for the week:

As You See It Challenge #196

Tuesday Morning Sketches

I am excited that my card qualifies for three challenges that rarely happens.

And… Seize the Birthday

The card starts with a Whisper White card base and a mat of Basic Black card stock for all the different strip of 6″ x 6″ DSP. You can see the different stacks at the bottom of this post.

The strips are adhered to the Basic Black mat using Liquid Glue, leaving a small border between each strip so you have the effect of a mat around each strip. Once all the strips are adhered, the Basic Black mat is adhered to the Whisper White card base using Liquid Glue.

The dragonflies from the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies are cut from Basic Black card stock that has an Adhesive Multipurpose Sheet adhered to it for easier adhering. Four sets were cut twice and adhered together. Since there are only five I had to cut twice to have enough for the entire card front. By adhering the four set together it gives them dimension and depth. By using an Adhesive Multipurpose Sheet it makes it easier to adhere the dragonflies together. It is much less messy also as using Liquid Glue you get real gluey fingers.

Different jewels were adhered to each dragonfly to give them a bit of Bling! The Happy Birthday is stamped in Soft Suede on a small scrap and then cropped to a small size to fit the space it is adhered. The card front is finished.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Shaded Spruce on a panel of Whisper White that has been matted on a panel of Basic Black card stock. Two dragonflies are stamped to give the panel a bit of decoration.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you like my card. Visit again soon. Have a blessed day!

Humming Along with Climbing Roses and Botanical Butterfly

March 20, 2019 admin

My card today is a mix of two stamp sets and DSP, Humming Along and Climbing Roses stamp sets and Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (DSP). I sure wish that this DSP would carry over to the new Annual Catalog, but unfortunately, it probably will not happen. I can’t remember, but maybe it has, a DSP being carried over.

My design comes from the Sunday Stamps Challenge. for this week.

My card base is Pumpkin Pie card stock cut 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5-1/2″ and folded on the scoreline.

Next comes a 2-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ panel of Night of Navy that has been embossed with the Pinewood Plank Embossing Folder.
A 2-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ panel of Pumpkin Pie card stock is next. It is also embossed using the Pinewood Plank Embossing Folder.
The Night of Navy and Pumpkin Pie panels are adhered to the Pumpkin Pie card base using Liquid Glue.
A Whisper White label is cut using one of the dies from the Rose Trellis Thinlits Dies.
The greeting is stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink using a stamp from the Climbing Roses stamp set.
A large and small butterfly is cut from a panel of the Botanical Butterfly DSP.
The large butterfly is popped on the upper corner of the Night of Navy panel using a Stampin’ Dimensional.
The small butterfly is popped on the greeting label that has been popped into the center of the card front.
Three sequins from the Sequin Assortment are scattered over the card front.
A bow (I call it a Mary bow as she is the one who showed me how to make it) is adhered to the center of the greeting label with a Glue Dot.
The inside sentiment from the Humming Along stamp set is stamped in Blueberry Bushel on a panel of Whisper White that has been cropped using the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies. It is adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you like my card and find encouragement for inspiration from it. Visit again soon. Have a blessed day. Some days you just want to give up and say what the heck!
