Stampin” Up! To A Wild Rose

Stampin” Up! To A Wild Rose

Happy Monday– hope you had a fantastic week-end and the temps were cool.  I love cool Autumn mornings but for now the temps gets up there about noon.

My card for today is CAS(E)d from Shannean Moncrieff — visit her blog here

Shannean’s instructions are much better than what I can give you, so if you are interested just click on over to her blog and you will find great instructions.  

One of my challenges is with The Library Craft Challenge — The Secret Garden is the book chosen for this challenge.  I have created flowers and birds to represent the garden.  I loved reading this book so much as a high schooler, then as an adult,  I just may have to make another card for it.

I am also entering the House that Stamps Built — anything goes.  There is no icon for the logo.

And the last one is  My Time To Craft Challenge Blog –  Theme this week is birds.

I must not have read her instructions too well, because when I just read them again, I realized she made a square card and mine is the regular size we always make.  She has one bird and I have two that are fussy cut from a panel of  Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper (DSP).  My To A Wild Rose is from a Stampin’ Up! Paper Pumpkin kit this year, hers is the To A Wild Rose stamp set that is in the current catalog.  I  first stamped my roses from the current stamp set but decided I liked the Paper Pumpkin one more, so I am using it.  I used the Brick and Mortar 3D Embossing Folder and she used embossing paste.

The inside sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Promenade stamp set is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lipstick ink on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock.

In finishing, I embossed a panel of White White card stock with the Stampin’  Up! Brick and Mortar 3D Embossing Folder. I rubbed Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake ink on the embossing folder using a Sponge Dauber before embossing. After embossing the panel was adhered to a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope. 

Thank you for stopping by today.   I hope you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day.  My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself.

Stampin Up! Rustic Retreat with Magnolia Lane

Stampin Up! Rustic Retreat with Magnolia Lane

I hope everyone is having a nice restful Sunday, enjoying the cool Autumn air and that maybe you had time yesterday or will today visit some of the Fall Festivals that happen this time each year.  I went to the park for my usual walk yesterday and was stopped at the gate, the lady said you are welcome to come in and walk but you will have to go find a parking space some other place, so that was it for a walk in the park along the river.

My card today is the other card of the challenge from yesterday. There are always two cards for this challenge. The challenge is with Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.

The  Stampin’ Up! Petal Pink card base is square with a background panel from Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper.

The two panels with the Magnolia Lane DSP showing the magnolias are matted on panels of Petal Pink card stock.  The greeting from Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat Stamp Set is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow ink on a panel of Petal Pink that I cut into an oval.  It may not be a perfect oval but I did not have a skinny oval so I created one.  It is matted on a panel of Mossy Meadow card stock as is the other magnolia panel.

Two of the magnolias on the panel on the left are part of the DSP, the middle magnolia has been fussy cut and popped between the two magnolias using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals and a  small bow is adhered using a Glue Dot.  The magnolia at the bottom of the greeting oval has been fussy cut, popped on and a bow adhered with a Stampin’ Up! Glue Dot.  I trimmed around the edge of the magnolia at the top of the greeting oval so it would hang over the oval just a bit.

The inside sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Strong and Beautiful Stamp Set and is stamped in Mossy Meadow on a Whisper White label from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Label Dies that has been matted on a panel of the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper. A magnolia fussy cut from a panel of the DSP is adhered in the right corner and on the label.

In finishing, I gave a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Lane DSP  and magnolias on the front.

Thank you for stopping by today.   I hope you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day.  My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself.

Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals with Daisy Lane

Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals with Daisy Lane

Here we are again sharing a card with you! Hope your Thursday is going terrific and it is a wonderful sunny day where you are with Fall in the air.

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Daisy Lane Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper.  This is a lovely card and I am sure you can find many on Pinterest that are similar, if I have CAS(E)d anyone card, thank you for creating it so I could see it and maybe use parts of it in creating mine.  I looked after I made mine and there are many, many cards using this DSP.  They are all so beautiful.

My challenges are with  Make My Monday Challenge

As you can see it is a color sketch and the flowers make me think of one of my favorite DSP’s of the Annual Catalog.  When I decided to use the Pressed Petal DSP, at first I was afraid that I could not come up with how to get the Stampin’ Up! Calypso Coral color to go with the others, but as you can see from my card, the Calypso Coral color blends right in with the flowers.  You would probably never believe that it is Calypso Coral just looking at it.

And…

The Sisterhood of Crafters–  have friend or friendship in your sentiment. 

Stampin’ Up! Rococo card stock is the card base with a mat of Stampin’ Up! Merry Merlot card stock for the background panel which is another panel from the Pressed Panel DSP.

The daisies, from the Stampin’ Up! Daisy Lane Stamp Set, are stamped in Stampin’ Up! Rococo Rose, Calypso Coral, and Blackberry Bliss ink.  The leaves stamped in Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow ink is from the Stampin’ Up! Floral Essence Stamp Set.  The Blackberry Bliss daisy is half stamped and half punching from Stampin’ Up! Blackberry Bliss card stock.  My dyed twine did not turn out the color of Mossy Meadow but I used it, wrapping  it around the card front twice and tying in a bow.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Merry Merlot on a Whisper White card stock panel and has a spray of leaves from Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles stamped in Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow ink that has been stamped off once.  

In finishing, I gave a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope the remaining panel of the Pressed Petal DSP and fussy cut some of the flowers for the envelope front.

Thank you for stopping by today.   I hope you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day.  My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself.

Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad with Flourishing Phrases

Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad with Flourishing Phrases

Happy Day everyone!  Hope your day is going great.

I am sharing a card today created from Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Flourishing Phrases Stamp Set.  I did use a little flower from the Stampin’ Up! Free As A Bird Stamp Set.

I have two challenges I am entering today– Crazy4Challenge.   

And… 

My Time to Craft–Theme is Birds.

Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock is the card base.  A panel of the Whisper White the same size as the card is embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder, then adhered to the card from with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I find it easier to emboss a separate panel and then adhere to the card front than trying to make sure the fold of the card is exactly on the edge of the embossing folder and then sometimes the card stock will slip and you have a crooked embossed panel.  Once it is adhered you will not notice it as a separate panel.

A 2″ wide strip is cut and matted on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Pretty Peacock card stock then adhered to the card front.  Four squares are also cut from the Pretty Peacock card stock for the mats for the birds from Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad DSP.  The squares are adhered with Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Up! Stampin Dimensionals.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Pretty Peacock on a Whisper White card stock panel and has birds that have been fussy cut adhered in the left corner.  The sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Flourishing Phrases is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Pretty Peacock ink on a Whisper White panel.

In finishing, I gave a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope the remaining panel of the Bird Ballad DSP and fussy cut some of the birds for the envelope front.

Thank you for stopping by today.   I hope you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day.  My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself.
