Stampin’ Up! Daisy Lane

Stampin’ Up! Daisy Lane

Time marches on!  Here it is Tuesday!

My card today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Daisy Lane Stamp Set.  I love daisies so I created a Fall daisy bouquet in my pitcher.  I made this a Thanksgiving card as I need about 50 for family.

My challenge for the day is with Global Design Project — Bloom and Grow.

My card base is Stampin’ Up! Merry Merlot card stock with a Stampin’ Up! Seaside Spray card stock mat which is embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder.

You can find the ink colors of the flowers and pitcher below in the list of products used.  The art piece is also embossed using the Subtle Embossing Folder.  I trimmed away a bit of white around a few petals so they would hang over to the Seaside Spray blue mat.  My greeting on the front corner is from the Country Home stamp set.

 

The inside sentiment panel gets a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Country Home Stamp Set and daisies from the Stampin’ Up! Daisy Lane and Stampin’ Up! Daisy Delight Stamp Sets

 

I finished my project by decorating the flap and front corner of a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope by stamping daisies from the Stampin’ Up! Daisy Lane Stamp Set.

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! Beauty Abounds

Stampin’ Up! Beauty Abounds

Is it Monday already?!

I am entering two challenges today.  The Card Concept — Beautiful Butterflies

And… 

 

The card I am sharing is created using the Stampin’ Up! Beauty Abounds Stamp Set.  The card base is Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock with a Whisper White card stock panel embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Pinewoods Plank  Embossing Folder.

Before embossing all the stamping of the artwork was stamped and colored.  All the images were stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink, then coloring was done using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blend Markers in Light Highland Heather and Light Old Olive. The butterflies were stamped in Stampin’ Up! Melon Mambo ink and Coastal Cabana ink.  The black butterfly was stamped using Tuxedo Memento Black ink. I stamped an extra black one, fussy cut it and then popped it on the black butterfly with a Glue Dot.  Using the Pinewoods Plank Embossing Folder gives the impression the flowers and butterflies are on a fence.

The inside sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Colorful Seasons Stamp Set.  The butterflies are from the Beauty Abounds Stamp Set.  Both are stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink.  The “Happy Birthday” is from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set.

I finished my project by decorating the flap and front corner of a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope by stamping butterflies from the Stampin’ Up! Beauty Abounds Stamp Set.

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! Around The Corner

Stampin’ Up! Around The Corner

Happy Sunday everyone!  Hope your day is blessed!

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Around the Corner Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Come To Gather Designer Series Paper.

 

I decided on two challenges for the day… CAS(E) This Sketch.   

And… Crafty Calendar Challenge.  Lots of Layers– I think I have 8 or 9 layers.

My card base is Stampin’ Up! Cajun Craze card stock.    As you can see there are several mats and you can see the measurement for all of them at the bottom of this post.  The greeting is from the Stampin’ Up! Around The Corner Stamp Set and is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Early Espresso ink.  The pumpkin is colored using a Stampin’ Up! Stampin Blends Marker in Light Pumpkin Pie.

 

The inside sentiment is from the August 2019 Paper Pumpkin.

I finished my project by decorating the flap of a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope with a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Come To Gather Designer Series Paper.

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! Let It Snow

Stampin’ Up! Let It Snow

Hello Everyone, we are looking at a great weekend right!  Sunshine, hot, clear, heading toward Fall but the hot summer days are still here.  We could probably use a little of the cool weather that comes with snow, but I think I had rather have it hot and no snow.  97 degrees at my house on Friday.

The challenges I am joining today are Tuesday Morning Sketches.   

And… Watercooler  Wednesday  – Tristan’s “All About Occasions” Challenge.  

 

The card I am sharing today is another simple one that requires mostly cutting.  It is created using Stampin’ Up! Let It Snow Designer Series Paper (DSP).  This DSP is so cute and sweet for creating a cheery Christmas card or a winter birthday card or a plain ole thinking of you card. You can see how it is created by looking at the card and the Tuesday Morning Sketch challenge. It is put together using either Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Up! Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

This is another card for my Christmas card making.  I have really got to get more serious about making because I make so many I do not want it to be November and I am behind big time.

Stampin’ Up! Tidings All Around Stamp Set is the current stamp set with the “Tidings of Comfort and Joy” sentiment.  Mine is from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Pines (retired).   

I finished my project by decorating the flap of a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope with a panel of the Let It Snow DSP.

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! Come To Gather

Stampin’ Up! Come To Gather

Can’t believe it is Friday already.  It has been a busy week.  My card today is created using Stampin’ Up! Come To Gather Designer Series Paper and stamps from the Stampin’ Up! August 2019 Paper Pumpkin.  I am making Thanksgiving cards and the stamps in the August Paper Pumpkin are perfect.

My challenge is with Freshly Made Sketches.   The designers have some beautiful cards you should see.

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Cajun Craze as is the background panel that has been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder.

The panel across the middle is from Stampin’ Up! Come To Gather Designer Series Paper as are the pumpkins that are fussy cut and colored using a Stampin’ Up! Light Mango Medley Stampin’ Marker.  They are popped on using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The Stampin’ Up! Old Olive green leaves on the pumpkin are cut using a die from the Stampin’ Up! Botanical Tags Dies.  The greeting is stamped on the Come To Gather DSP panel using Versa Mark and Stampin’ Up! Gold Embossing Powder and the heat tool.

The inside sentiment is also from the Paper Pumpkin Stamp Set.  I stamped the leaves three times in Stampin’ Up! Terracotta Tile ink using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Colorful Seasons Stamp Set. 

I stamped a leaf from the Colorful Seasons Stamp Set on the corner of the Very Vanilla envelope using Terracotta Tile ink.  I gave the envelope flap a panel of the same DSP that is on the card front so they would coordinate.

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.
