Beautiful Promenade

March 15, 2019 admin

My card today is created using the Beautiful Promenade stamp set and the coordinating DSP. It makes for a lovely card. It is for a strong young woman who had an accident when she was 19 and became paralyzed from the waist down. She is a very productive, active life and is an encouragement to all who meet her. She certainly an inspiration when we complain about little day to day ache and pains and say oh I feel too bad to do that today. She carrys on and works long, long hours each day to see her dream fulfilled.

My sketch inspirations comes from the Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge for this week.

The card recipe:

Start with a panel of Petal Pink card stock for the card base.
Cut a 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ panel and emboss using the Subtle Textured Impression Embossing Folder.
Cut a 2-1/2″ x 3-3/4″ panel of Blackberry Bliss card stock and a panel 1-1/8″ x 3-1/8″. These are mats for the Petal Promenade DSP.
Cut a 2-3/8″ x 3-5/8″ panel of Petal Promenade DSP and a 1″ x 3″ panel of the same DSP.
Adhered the Petal Promenade DSP to the Blackberry Bliss card stock using Liquid Glue.
Cut a 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ square from the reverse side of the Petal Promenade DSP that you cut previously.
Stamp in the upper corner using Mossy Meadow ink one of the flowers from the Beautiful Promenade stamp set.
then stamp in Fresh Fig ink on a scrap of Whisper White card stock the same flower.
Stamp the greeting in the lower left corner using Blackberry Bliss Ink.
Fussy cut just the Fresh Fig flower.
Pop the flower using Mini Stamping Dimensionals that have been cut in half over the Mossy Green flower in the upper corner of the 2-12″ x 2-1/2″ square.
Cut a 2-5/8″ square from the Blackberry Bliss card stock. This is the mat for the art piece with the flower and the greeting.
Pop 2 pearls from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls onto the art piece.
Adhere all the panels the way they show in the picture onto the Subtle embossed panel.
Adhere the Petal Pink panel to the card base.
Scatter three more pearls over the Petal Pink embossed panel after all the other smaller panels have been adhered.
The bow is made using Fresh Fig Mini Ruffle ribbon and adhered with a Glue Dot.
The inside sentiment is stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink on a panel of Whisper White that is matted on a panel of Blackberry Bliss card stock.
A different flower from the Beautiful Promenade stamp set is stamped in Mossy Meadow in the right corner of the sentiment panel.

Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you like the card!

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop “Celebrate Spring”

March 12, 2019 admin

Welcome everyone—it’s that time — the second Tuesday of the month—that means it is time for our Inkin’ Krew monthly blog hop. It is going to be exciting to see what all the other team members have created. I know you are going to see lots of ideas and inspiration for your own creations. Our theme for March is “Celebrate Spring”! Now on to the hop! Enjoy!!

My card is created with the You’re Inspiring Stamp Set. Since our theme is “Celebrate Spring” this stamp set is so appropriate being it has daffodils.

The design comes from Inspire Create Challenge #038 for this week.

The card base is Lemon Lime Twist card stock. Lemon Lime Twist will probably be retired this year so I am trying to use it up before that time. A panel of Bermuda Bay card stock has been embossed with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder and adhered to the card base with Liquid Glue.

The inspirations and design comes from Inspire Create Challenge

Two mats have been cut for the focal panel which is cut from a panel of the Botanical Butterfly DSP, one is Lemon Lime Twist, the other Basic Black card stock. They are all adhered together using Liquid Glue.

A Whisper White circle is cut using a Layering Circle Die and adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The daffodils are stamped on thick Whisper White card stock and colored using Pineapple Punch Light and Old Olive Light Stampin’ Blends. They are then popped onto the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Three pearls from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls set are scattered over the card front. The greeting is stamped in Bermuda Bay on a scrap of Whisper White and matted with a scrap of Lemon Lime Twist card stock.

Tea Together

March 8, 2019 admin

I love the looks of this card. It is created using the Tea Together stamp set and the greeting is from the Rooted In Nature stamp set. An easy card, I think, for a beginner, but advanced enough that the most seasoned card maker will like.

My sketch design and inspiration comes from the Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge 189 for the week.

Cut your Basic Black card base, along with the Whisper White mat for the front and for the inside sentiment. Then cut the black/white panel that is from the Botanical Butterfly DSP. This DSP is free with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration, which ends on March 31. I find it easier if you do all your cutting at once instead of just cutting a piece as you need it.

Adhere the Whisper White panel which has been embossed using the Subtle Textured Impression Embossing Folder (TIEF) to the card base after you have popped the black/white panel from the Botanical Butterfly on it.

Stamp 4 roses from the Tea Together stamp set on thick Whisper White card stock using Versa Mark Ink. One of the roses is for the inside sentiment panel. Sprinkle White Embossing Powder over the Versa Mark Ink and using your heat tool, heat emboss. I like heat embossing when coloring because it prevents the colors from running. Cut the roses out using the Tea Time Framelits Dies (the easy way), I fussy cut because I picked up the wrong stamp set with roses and dies and thought oh, there is not a die for this rose, after fussy cutting, I realized my mistake.

Color the roses using Garden Green and Real Red Stampin’ Write Markers. The roses are popped across the bottom of the black/white checked panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp the greeting in Real Red ink on a scrap of paper. I traced the shape of the stamp for the greeting and fussy cut it also. The greeting was popped in the center of the black/white checked panel using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using Tuxedo Memento Black Ink stamp the sentiment from the stamp set Strong and Beautiful on a panel of Whisper White card stock. Pop the rose in the lower right corner using a Mini Stampin Dimensional. Adhere the sentiment panel to the card base using Liquid Glue. The card is finished.

That is it for today! Hope you like the card!! Have a blessed day.

A Little Hello with Lovely Lattice

March 6, 2019 admin

My card today is created using a Sale-A-Bration stamp set called Lovely Lattice. It is a beautiful stamp and can be yours for free with a $50 purchase.

My sketch design comes from the Tuesday Morning Sketches.

Start with a card base Whisper White card stock.

The next card stock cut is a panel of Basic Black for the mat of the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (DSP)
Cut a panel of the Botanical Butterfly DSP and adhere to the Basic Black mat.
Adhere the Basic Black mat to the Whisper White card base.
Cut a panel of Basic Black, Whisper White, and Blueberry Bushel card stock.
Adhere the Whisper White panel to the Basic Black panel using Liquid Multipurpose Glue.
Wrap a strip of Pick A Pattern Washi Tape down the left side of the Blueberry Bushel panel, then adhere the panel to the Whisper White panel.
Before you adhere the Blueberry Bushel panel to the Whisper White panel emboss it using the Subtle TIEF.
Once all three of the panels have been adhered together pop it over the Botanical Butterfly panel using Mini Stampin Dimensionals. Cut the Stamipn’ Dimensionals in half so that it only needs a little dimension off of the other panel.
Using the Lovely Lattice stamp set, stamp the image on a panel of Basic Black card stock using Versa Mark ink.
Embossing the image using White Embossing Powder and your heat tool. Embossing the white on black gives for a beautiful image without color, but I chose to color the flowers.
Color the flowers using Stampin’ Blends Markers in Balmy Blue, Pineapple Punch, Calypso Coral, Old Olive, and Lovely Lipstick. Coloring on the black sure gives each color a different color.
Pop the flowers on the Blueberry Bushel panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The flowers appear to be stamped on the Blueberry Bushel panel instead of being stamped on Basic Black and then colored.
Stamp on a scrap of paper the greeting from the Itty Bitty Greeting stamp set. Trim and add a bit of Washi Tape. Pop on the Blueberry Bushel panel.
Add three Basic Jewel Pearls in various spots on the card and the card front is finished.
The inside sentiment panel is left blank for a note. A strip of Pick A Pattern Washi Tape is adhered down the left side so it won’t look so plain.

That’s the card for today. I hope you like it. Visit again soon. Have a blessed day!

Heartfelt with Well Said

March 4, 2019 admin

Welcome, I get the honor of being a guest designer for WWYS2. Thank you for dropping by today. We are using the Well Said stamp bundle. I am in shock that I could actually come up with a card from a stamp set that is majority greeting and sentiments. I am thrilled for the challenge and I think the card turned out ok. Goes to show what you can create with a little imagination.

Of course, you always start with a card base, which I have chosen Pool Party that has been embossed using the Layered Leaves TIEF for mine. I then took a sponge with Pool Party ink and lightly sponged a few areas of the embossing. A 3-1/4″ x 4-1/8″ panel of Pear Pizzazz was cut and sponged with Pool Party also. A panel of Very Vanilla sponged with the Pool Party ink is cut and adhered at an angle over the Pear Pizzazz panel. Flower stems in Pear Pizzazz and flowers in Rich Razzleberry have been cut using the Well Said stamp set. These are adhered to the Very Vanilla panel using Liquid Glue in various spots. The flowers have a pearl from the Basic Pearl Jewels adhered to their center. The word “Heartfelt” is stamped in Rich Razzleberry ink in the upper left corner. The word “sympathy has been cut using the sympathy die in the Well Written Framelits Dies. I cut four so the word would have dimension. I also used an Adhesive Backed Sheet when cutting so that adhering them together would be easier.

Again, thank you for stopping by today.!
