Stampin’ Up! Silhouette Scenes with Garden Lane DPS

Stampin’ Up! Silhouette Scenes with Garden Lane DPS

Happy, Sunny Sunday!  Have a fun day ’cause you know what tomorrow is–it is the today that was yesterday!

I card I am sharing is a combination of Stampin’ Up! Silhouette Scenes and Garden Lane DSP.  It is created with the challenge I am playing in today in mind.  

My challenge is with the Paper Craft Crew. The challenge is to CAS(E) a card that one of the Design Team Designed. 

I am CASing a card from Tina Riddle.  Here is her card or click her card to go to her site.

And here is my card– 

Quite a difference would you not say?  Tina is so colorful.  I used panels of DSP from Stampin’ Up! Garden Lane Designer Series Paper to make the focal and the background panels. To make the colors more muted and not a bright green, I used Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Pencils in Old Olive, Cajun Craze, and Daffodil Delight to color the panel and used an Aqua Painter to spread the color around.

The leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Silhouette Scenes Bundle are cropped from Stampin’ Up! Basic Black card stock using one of the dies and adhered to the card front using Liquid Glue.  The greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Gala Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on the lower right corner of the focal panel.

Two of the butterflies from the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Gala Stamp Set are stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a small panel cut from the Stampin’ Up! See A Silhouette Designer Series Paper.  I had to fussy cut them as I could not find my punch that coordinates with this stamp set.  The butterflies are popped on using Stampin’ Up! Glue Dots.

Two 3/4″ strips are cut from the DSP and adhered down each side of the sentiment panel. The sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Forever Lovely Stamp Set and is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Old Olive ink.  The branch is part of the branch from the front of the card.  The butterflies like the ones on the card front are stamped in Tuxedo Black ink on a small panel of the See A Silhouette DSP.  

In finishing my card I decorated a Whisper White Envelope so it will coordinate with the theme of the card.  I gave the envelope flap a panel of DSP from the See A Silhouette DSP.  You can see the difference in the color of the DSP on the flap and the one one the card front that was muted.

Thank you for stopping by today.  Have a blessed and rested day before your work week starts.

Stampin’ Up! Let It Ride with Waterfront

Stampin’ Up! Let It Ride with Waterfront

The card I am sharing today, makes me think of Cumberland Island and the horses there. Since it is the weekend going to Cumberland would be a nice trip, but then you have to have a reservation for that expedition to Cumberland Island. If you have never visited Cumberland Island it is a great day trip, tho’ some people camp there.  My son stayed a week when he was in college, but day trips are enough for me even for the beauty of Cumberland.  The three horses in the photo look as if they are posing for the camera.  They may be you can walk pretty close to the horses with no problem.

My card is created using the Stampin’ Up! Let It Ride Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Waterfront Stamp Set.

    

Photos are courtesy of Trip Adviser

 

I watched two, three maybe more videos trying to get the mountains to look like mountains, but finally settled on these. They are created by using one of the stamps from the Stampin’ Up! Waterfront Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Garden Green ink.  I stamped the trees first using a stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Let It Ride Stamp Set and one from the Waterfront Stamp Set.  I then stamped the mountains.

My challenges for today are inspired by two challenges — As You See It Challenge and Cardz 4 Galz Challenge

Using  Stampin’ Up! Bermuda Bay and Early Espresso Watercolor Pencils I colored in the water and the sand. I used a Stampin’ Up! Blender Pen to smooth out the watercolors. All the card layers even the art panel are embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder.

The sun is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Crushed Curry ink using the sun stamp from the Waterfront Stamp Set.  The birds are from Stampin’ Up! High Tide Stamp Set and are stamped using Tuxedo Memento Black ink.

My horse is stamped using Stampin’ Up! Early Espresso ink and the horse stamp from the Let It Ride Stamp Set, as this stamp has two horses on it, I had to mask one horse so that it would not show.  I wrapped a length of Stampin’ Up! Linen Thread around the art panel and the Stampin’ Up! Shaded Spruce panel used for the mat. Wishing now I had not or put the thread lower below the horse.  The greeting from Stampin’ Up! Colorful Seasons is stamped in Shaded Spruce ink on a scrap of Whisper White card stock and one end is snipped into a flag.

The inside sentiment panel is left blank for a note.

In finishing my card creation, I decorated the flap of a Whisper White envelope so it would coordinate with the theme of the card front by stamping the trees from the Let It Ride Stamp Set in Garden Green ink.

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful fun weekend at whatever you chose to do.  My hope also is that you find encouragement or inspiration from my card.  Maybe it will inspire you to go check out Cumberland Island.  Do a search in Google for Cumberland Island Georgia.  Have a great day!

Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals

Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals

Here it is Thursday! One more day and it is the weekend again.  Time flies, that’s why it is so valuable.  Make each moment count.  You can’t get it back once it is gone.

The card I am sharing today is a square card.  The cut out from the Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals Designer Series Paper (DSP) looks best on a square card.

My challenge for today is with Hand Stamped Sentiments  

My card base is Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow card stock.  It has been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Pinewoods Plank Embossing Folder with Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow ink dabbed on the embossing folder with a stamp pad before embossing.

The wreath is fussy cut from a panel of Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals DSP and popped on the card front using Stampin’ Up! Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The word “LOVE” has been cropped three times from Stampin’ Up! Rococo Rose card stock using the love die from the Stampin’ Up! Well Said Stamp Bundle. The three rhinestones are from the Stampin’ Up! Noble Peacock Rhinestones.  The bow is made using Stampin’ Up! Rococo Rose Scalloped Lace Ribbon and is popped on the wreath using a Stampin’ Up! Glue Dot.

The inside sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat Stamp Set and is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock that is adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue.  A strip of flowers cut from the Pressed Petal DSP is adhered down the left side of the sentiment panel.

In finishing my card I decorated a Whisper White Envelope so it will coordinate with the theme of the card.  I gave the envelope flap a panel of DSP from the Pressed Petals DSP.  I also stamped a twig on the envelope front using a stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat Stamp Set.

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you like my card and that you can find inspiration for your own creations from it.

Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat

Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat

Oh! Here it is Wednesday and we are downhill from here but what if you are a person that has Monday and Tuesday off and you work the other 5 days.  Is Friday then the Hump Day?  One of my grandsons works Tuesday through Saturday so I guess his over the hump day is Thursday.  Enough of my silliness so on to the card.

The card I am sharing today is from Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat.  This is a sweet little stamp set with some great sentiments.  Another Christmas card to add to my stash.  Maybe if I make one a day until it is time to mail, I may have enough.  I probably should address them as I go that way there will be less to address at the end.

My challenge for today is from the TGIF Challenge Christmas in July

This card has a few layers so here goes

  • First is the Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock base
  • Next is the Stampin’ Up! Cherry Cobbler card stock mat
  • The next layer is the Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake card stock embossed panel.  The Crumb Cake ink pad was rubbed across the Stampin’ Up! Pinewoods Plank Embossing Folder and then embossed.  This gives more texture to the embossing.
  • The Stampin’ Up! Shaded Spruce card stock panel is trimmed in a Cherry Cobbler border.  The Shaded Spruce panel is stamped with the twig stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat Stamp Set using Cherry Cobbler ink.
  • Last is the Whisper White card stock art panel that is cropped out using the.

All the layers are adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  The art panel has the greeting stamped in Stampin’ Up! Cherry Cobbler ink. The cabin is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink and colored using Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Pencils and a Stampin’ Up! Blender Pen.  The art panel is popped on the embossed panel using Stampin’ Up! Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  A length of Stampin’ Up! Linen Thread is wrapped around the embossed panel and the art panel before the embossed panel is adhered to the Cherry Cobbler mat.  

The inside sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! First Frost Stamp Set and is stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock that has been matted on a panel of Cherry Cobbler card stock.  A deer from the Rustic Retreat stamp set is stamped in Crumb Cake ink in the lower right corner.

In finishing my card I decorated a Whisper White Envelope so it will coordinate with the theme of the card.  I gave the envelope flap three stamps with the deer stamp from the Rustic Retreat stamp set.  I also stamped one deer on the envelope front.

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you like my card and that you can find inspiration for your own creations from it.

Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad

Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad

Good Day everyone!  I hope it is sunny and cool where you are today.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper.  The only stamping is the greeting on the card front.

My card challenge for the day is with Fusion Card Challenge.  I am doing the sketch portion of the challenge.

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Pool Party card stock.  This is a simple and easy card for the beginner or any crafter.

A feathery panel has been cut from the DSP for the background panel.  It is adhered using Liquid Glue.

A panel from Stampin’ Up! Cajun Craze card stock is cropped using the Stampin’ Up! Delicate Lace Dies.  This is adhered across the background panel using Liquid Glue.  Have you ever tried to take a piece off of your card once glued down.  I had to do that with the lacy piece.  I used the heat embossing tool and heated the lacy piece and it was a breeze to get off.  Did not even leave sticky glue where it had been adhered earlier.

An Oval was cut from Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock using the Stampin’ Up! Layering Oval Dies.  Two birds were fussy cut from a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad DSP and popped over the oval after the sentiment from a Stampin’ Up! July Paper Pumpkin was stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink. Three feathers were fussy cut and popped on the oval at the bottom of the oval to give the feeling the birds had dropped their feathers. This oval was popped on the card front using Stampin’ Up! Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment panel is left blank so a note can be written.  A spray of feathers are adhered down the left side of the panel.

In finishing my card I decorated a Whisper White Envelope so it will coordinate with the theme of the card.  I gave the envelope flap a panel of the feathery DSP from the Bird Ballad DSP.

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you like my card and that you can find inspiration for your own creations from it.
