Stampin’ Up! Good Morning Magnolia

Stampin’ Up! Good Morning Magnolia

Happy Saturday everyone! Welcome to my blog.  I hope you are having a glorious day, we plan on it being one.  We off soon to see our granddaughter before she leaves for college next week.  It will be one of those “Roll Tide” unless they are playing the “dawgs” and then it will be “Go Dawgs”.  Their school of dance was the best fit for her, but I think she will still be a “dawg” at heart.  Can’t believe its time for her to go to college.  Enjoy each moment folks.  The time of leaving home comes much too swift.

Now on to the card making!  The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Good Morning Magnolia and Magnolia Lane DSP.

My challenge is with Try Stamping on Tuesday.  It is a sketch challenge.

And…

Watercooler Wednesday – Karen’s Feminine “Anything Goes” Challenge

My card has a Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow card stock base with the focal panel, a panel from Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper.  There is also a square of the DSP used as a background piece for the art panel. Tuxedo Memento Black ink is used to stamp the art panel on a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock square using the Stampin’ Up! Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set.  It is colored using Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Pencils in Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive, and Early Espresso.  All these layers are adhered with either Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Stampin’ Up! Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The tiny bow is made using Stampin’ Up! Linen Thread and is adhered with a Stampin’ Up! Mini Glue Dot.  A single pearl from the Stampin’ Up! Pearl Basic Jewels is the finishing touch to the card front.

The inside sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthday Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a  panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock.  The sentiment panel is matted on a panel of DSP that matches the one on the card front.

In finishing my card project, I decorated the flap of a medium-size  Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Envelope with the DSP that coordinates with the focal panel on the card front.

Thank you for stopping by today.  Enjoy your Saturday!

Stampin’ Up! Bloom and Grow

Stampin’ Up! Bloom and Grow

It’s Friday and the weekend starts for many people.  I always have a weekend.  After a while, you forget it’s the middle of the week.  Have a great weekend everyone!

My card today is created using Stampin’ Up! Bloom and Grow Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper along the large heart die from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Be Mine Dies Set.

My challenge is with Fab Friday.  It is a sketch challenge.

Stampin’ Up! Highland Heather card stock is the card base as are the two mats that have been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtles Embossing Folder.

The focal panel is a panel cut from one of the gorgeous paper of the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper. It also is embossed using the Subtles Embossing Folder. It coordinates well with my heart and the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Bloom and Grow Stamp Set.

The flowers are stamped in Stampin’ Up! Smoky Slate ink on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Thick Whisper White card stock and then colored using Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Pencils and Stampin’ Up! Blender Pens.  The flower spray is adhered to the heart using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Up! Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  A small length of Stampin’ Up! 3/8″ Very Vanilla Scalloped Lace Trim is adhered below the heart and under the flowers using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Glue Dots hidden under the flowers. A tiny bow is made using a length of twine from the Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Baker’s Twine.

The inside is left blank so a note can be written, but flowers have been stamped and colored at the bottom of the panel.  The panel looks Very Vanilla but it is Whisper White, I suppose that is my lighting on this take.

 

In finishing the card project, I added a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Essence DSP to the envelope flap so it would coordinate with the card front.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I wish you a great weekend!  Return soon for another card.

Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals with Noble Peacock DSP

Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals with Noble Peacock DSP

Have you ever seen a blue poppy?  I haven’t.  I understand they are a rare breed,  they are not the everyday flower that you can pick up in a bouquet at the grocery store.  I believe the flowers on the card I am sharing today are blue poppies.  My card today is created using Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals  Specialty Designer Series Paper and Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Series Paper.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Well Said Stamp Set for the greeting on the front of the card and for the inside sentiment.

I hope your Thursday is starting off to be a terrific and awesome day for you.  At the end of your day, think to yourself this is what I am most thankful for that happened today.  You can always find something to be thankful for  — Just Breathing is one– so many — too many people have to have a machine breath for them or carry oxygen around so they will be able to breathe.  How blessed are you?

 

Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy card stock is the base with several layers of mats all from the Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ up! Nobel Peacock Specialty Designers Series Paper.

My challenge today is with Sunday Stamps Triple the Fun Challenge.

The colors of this card are similar to one made earlier just different paper but in same color families.  I thought the sparkly paper would look beautiul mixed together and it is.

The inside sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Well Said Stamp Set stamped in Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy ink on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock.

n finishing my card project, I decorated the flat of a medium-size  Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Envelope with the DSP that coordinates with the focal panel on the card front.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you like my card and that you can find encouragement or inspiration for your own creations.

Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad joins Rustic Retreat and Dandelion Wishes

Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad joins Rustic Retreat and Dandelion Wishes

Happy Wednesday!  Downhill to the weekend after you get over the hump!

The card I am sharing today is quite simple.  It is a combination of Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Dandelion Wishes Stamp Set.

My challenge for the day is with CAS(E) this Sketch.  

The base is one of the new in-colors for this year– Stampin’ Up! Terracotta Tile card stock.  The next layer is a half-panel of the Terracotta Tile embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder.  

There is a Stampin’ Up! Basic Black card stock mat for the focal panel which is a panel from Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper.  All these panels are adhered together using Liquid Glue.  A length of Stampin’ Up! Terracotta Tile 1/2″ Scalloped Linen Ribbon was cut and adhered to a scrap of Basic Black card stock and then adhered to the focal panel using Liquid Glue.  The birds are fussy cut from another panel of the Bird Ballad DSP and adhered to the focal panel using Liquid Glue.  The greeting is from the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat Stamp Set and is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake ink on a scrap of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock.

The inside sentiment is from Stampin’ Up! Dandelion Wishes Stamp Set stamped in Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock that has been decorated with strips from the same panel of DSP that the focal point is cut.  This panel is adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue.

In finishing my card project, I decorated the flat of a medium-size  Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Envelope with the DSP that coordinates with the focal panel on the card front.  The lower right corner of the envelope front was decorated also.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you like my card and that you can find encouragement or inspiration for your own creations.

Stampin’ Up! Retired Ornament Keepsake

Stampin’ Up! Retired Ornament Keepsake

The card I am sharing today is a Stampin’ Up! Retired Set.  I am playing in the RetroRubber Challenge and the theme is Christmas.   The stamp set I am using is Stampin’ Up! Ornament Keepsake Stamp Set from 2012.    

Ornament Keepsakes Clear-Mount Stamp Set

Ornament Keepsakes Clear-Mount Stamp Set
 

Stampin’ Up! has a similar set that will be available September 4 when the Holiday Catalog ordering begins. 

This is a card Amy Koenders made with that set and I have CAS(E)d it using the Ornament Keepsake set.  The ornaments from the retired set are a bit larger, I believe than the set that will be in the Holiday catalog  Sept. 4.   If you click on Amy’s card, it will take you to her site with this card.  I am a subscriber to Brian King’s blog and wonder of wonders he had this stamp set featured today on his blog, so here is a picture of the stamp set.

My 3 elements for the Retro Rubber Challenge #116 is the top row across  — pattern paper, green, and heat embossing.

I started by embossing a panel of Stampin’ Up! Old Olive card stock with the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder. Next, I adhered the panel to the front of a Stampin’ Up!  Old Olive card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered a panel of Stampin’ Up! Noble Peacock Designer Series Paper (DSP) to a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock that was adhered to a panel of  Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy card stock and then to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  

The Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock panel and the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Peacock card stock panel is cut using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Rectangle Dies.  The same die was used for both, the Pretty Peacock panel was cut in two pieces and adhered at the top and bottom of the Whisper White panel. Merry Christmas is stamped in Versa Mark and sprinkled with Stampin’ Up! White Embossing Powder and heat set using the heat tool.  I used the dies that coordinate with the Ornament Keepsake set to cut out the three ornaments from the Stampin’ Up! Noble Peacock DSP.  After popping the ornaments onto the Whisper White panel, it is popped on the card front.  A Stampin’ Up! Designer Element is popped on the center ornament.  Using the leaf die from the Stampin” Up! Botanical Tags Dies, a leaf is cut from a scrap of Stampin’ Up! Gold Foil Sheets and then adhered to the tops of the ornaments.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock along with two ornaments from the Stampin’ Up! Ornament Keepsake Stamp Set.  It is adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue.

 

In finishing my card I decorated a Whisper White Envelope so it will coordinate with the theme of the card.  I stamped the envelope flap and the lower right corner of the envelope front with the ornament stamp using Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy ink and Stampin’ Up! Old Olive ink.  

Thank you for stopping by today.  Have a blessed day!
