Stampin’ Up! Colorful Seasons with Dinoroar and Nature’s Roots

Stampin’ Up! Colorful Seasons with Dinoroar and Nature’s Roots

Happy Saturday!  Hope you are having a great day and staying cool.  The temps are still terrible here in Georgia.

The card I am sharing today is a combination of the Stampin’ Up! Colorful Seasons Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Roots Dies and Stampin’ Up! Dinoroar Designer Series Paper.  What an odd combination! A panel the same size as the card base has been cut and embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Embossing Folder.  It is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

My challenge for the day is with Freshly Made Sketches.   This is week 2 of celebrating their 400th challenge.  This sketch design was originally used for the #200 challenge.

My card base is Stampin’ Up! Pool Party card stock.  There are two Stampin’ Up! Mango Medley card stock mats for the focal panels which are from the Stampin’ Up! Dinoroar Designer Series Paper.  The mat and the focal panel have been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtles Embossing Folder.

The leaves are cut using a die from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Roots Dies from Stampin’ Up! Old Olive card stock, Mango Medley card stock and Pool Party card stock.  Two leaves are fussy cut from a scrap left over from the focal panel.  All are sponged using Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake ink and a sponge.

I used a Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Lane Cork Embellishment to adhere the greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Colorful Seasons Stamp Set.  The bow is made from Stampin’ Up! Linen Thread and has a trinket from the Stampin’ Up! Designer Elements adhered in the center.

The inside sentiment panel is decorated using a leaf stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Rooted in Nature Stamp Set and using Stampin’ Up! Old Olive ink.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

In finishing, I stamped leaves on the envelope front and on the flap to coordinate with the card front.Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you like my card and that it inspires or encourages you in some way.

Stampin’ Up! Come Sail Away

Stampin’ Up! Come Sail Away

Can you believe the week has gone so quickly?  Here it is time for the weekend again and I have so much I have not gotten accomplished this week, but on to card making that is the important part of each day–right.

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Come Sail Away DSP,  Stampin’ Up! Regal 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, and a greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat Stamp Set.

My challenge for the day is with Try Stampin’ – or Not – on Tuesday.  It has an optional twist this week as it does on occasion.  They have teamed up with Double Trouble and here is the optional twist.

THING 1:  Trouble Maker
says, “Help us stir up some trouble with a 3-2-1 Recipe that can be used for any occasion.” 
     From: Our Kitchen at Double Trouble   
     Servings: Unlimited portions of Fun
     Ingredients:  3 – Colors       My three colors are Stampin’ Up! Balmy Blue Cherry Cobbler,  Night of Navy,  Soft Suede  — Oh but I used 4!
                           2 – Design Papers  — Stampin’ Up! Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper and Regal 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (that’s the red one) and Whisper White card stock
                           1 – Sentiment or image (stamped or digital OK)  — Sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat Stamp Set and birds stamped on the sentiment circle from the Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home Stamp Set
Directions: You may use more than the recipe ingredients stipulated, but you need to include at least the required minimum of each ingredient for
successful results. 
I believe I have included all the ingredients for a good recipe to be created.
 
The card base is Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock with a Stampin’ Up! Cherry Cobbler card stock mat for the Stampin’ Up! Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper focal panel.
 
Using a Stampin’ Up! Stitched Rectangle Die I cut a small rectangle from a panel of the Come Sail Away DSP .  I cut a larger Stitched Rectangle Die out of Cherry Cobbler cardstock and adhered the Come Sail Away rectangle to it using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the rectangles to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
 I made a banner out of a strip of the Stampin’ Up! 6″ x 6″ Regal  Designer Series Paper then made another banner out of a strip of Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy card stock.  These were adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then added to the card front.
Two circles were cut from Night of Navy card stock and Come Sail Away DSP. Seagulls from the Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home Stamp Set are stamped on the Come Sail Away circle along with the greeting from Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat Stamp Set which is stamped on a small strip of Whisper White card stock and then adhered to the circle using a Stampin’ Up! Glue Dot.
The inside sentiment panel is stamped with birds from the Sailing Home stamp set and the panel left blank for note writing since this is a thank you card.
In finishing, I stamped seagulls on the front of the envelope and gave the flap a panel of DSP that coordinates with the card front.
 
Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you like my card and return often.

Stampin’ Up! Silhouette Scenes

Stampin’ Up! Silhouette Scenes

Hope your day is going wonderfully cool as the temps here yesterday were horrible.  We had to run an errand and the temp in the Suburban read 107.  After cooling a bit it went down to 98.  Not much improvement — so stay cool today I am sure it will be another hot one.  Too hot for humans or animals!

The card I am sharing today is a cute stamp set that covers most of the family members.  It is Stampin’ Up! Silhouette Scenes Stamp Set — too bad they did not make dies for the silhouettes.

 My card challenge for the day is with Fusion Card Challenge — you can see I did both sides of the challenge or at least I hope my boy and girl qualify as family.

My card starts with a Stampin’ Up! Seaside Spray card stock base.  A panel of Stampin’ Up! See A Silhouette Designer Series Paper is added as a focal panel.  A triangle is cut from another panel and adhered at the top of the focal panel.  This panel looks like the night sky, but then I suppose you can say that for both.   The scalloped edge on the triangle is from Stampin’ Up! Budding Blooms Dies.  The boy and girl are stamped with Versa Mark and sprinkled with Stampin’ Up! White Embossing Powder and heat set using the Stampin’ Up Heat Tool.  I made the boy appear as if he were lying on the ground and looking up at the night sky as his sister or friend points out a special star to him.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock panel that has been matted on a Stampin’ Up! Basic Black card stock panel and then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

In finishing my card project I decorated the envelope flap with a panel of the DSP that coordinates with the front of the card, I also stamped the boy and girl on the card front.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Have a blessed day.  I hope you like my card and find encouragement or inspiration for your own creations.

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop for August — Fall Frenzy

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop for August — Fall Frenzy

Welcome!  It’s that time — what time is that you ask!  Time for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. Our theme for August is “Fall Frenzy”  I am using fallish, (is that a word) colors as my contribution to Fall. It is the second Tuesday of each month.  You can always find a group of talented ladies that make up a part of Amy’s Inkin’ Krew.  Be sure you check out each person’s blog, you will find much talent and inspiration.  You may even find that you would like to CAS(E) one of the cards.  That’s an honor for the creator of the card to have someone want to CAS(E) their card.  Will let’s begin, I know you are wanting to see all the cards.

The  I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set.  I have had this set for a good long time and have only used it once or twice.  While making this card, I realize this is a set that can be used for a variety of cards.  The card base is Stampin’ Up! Old Olive card stock that has been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtles Embossing Folder. When you want to emboss the entire front of your card base, the easy way is to cut a panel the size of the card and embossed and adhere it to the card front.  Much easier than trying to keep the entire card straight and the fold on the edge of the folder.  This card has a few layers and each layer is matted on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Early Espresso card stock.

My challenges for the day are with Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.   I chose their sketch #165 for today, but want to come back with sketch #166.

And challenge…

Seize the Birthday + Toppings  which happens to be Flowers for the topping

The Stampin’ Up! Crushed Curry card stock panel is embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Tin Tile Embossing Folder.  After embossing I used a sponge and highlighted parts of the panel using Stampin’ Up! Early Espresso ink. This panel is then adhered to the Stampin’ Up! Early Express card stock mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  It is then adhered to the card front.

Next comes the Stampin’ Up 6″ x 6″ Subtle Designer Series Paper panel, also matted in Early Espresso.  It becomes the mat for the art panel.  The art panel is Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock and the flower images from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set in various colors that you can find at the bottom of this post along with the card cuts.  The bow is created from Stampin’ Up! Linen Thread.

The inside sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthday and is stamped in Early Espresso ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock.  The flowers are stamped in the right corner to give the panel a bit of decoration.

In finishing my card project, I stamped a flower on the lower corner of the envelope front and three flowers on the envelope flap.  The card is finished!

Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat

Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat

The art panel is stamped on a Stampin’Up!  Sahara Sand card stock square that has been cropped out using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched ShapesStampin’ Up! Shaded Spruce and Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake inks are using to stamp the line of trees and deer on the square of card stock. The Stampin’ Up! Sprig punch is used to punch out Sahara Sand and Shaded Spruce sprigs.  One of the sprigs is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Shaded Spruce ink and fussy cut.  The sprigs are bunched together with Stampin’ Up! Mini Glue Dots and popped on the corner of the art square.  A button from my button jar is adhered with a Mini Glue Dot after a length of Stampin’ Up! Linen Thread is threaded through the buttonholes and tied in a bow.

The inside has a mat of Shaded Spruce and a panel from the Follow Your Art DSP adhered using Multipurpose Glue and is stamped with a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthday Stamp Set in Shaded Spruce ink.
