Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies

Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies

Good Morning everyone! I hope your day is going great!

My card today is featuring Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies Stamp Set. Poppies are special to me.

The inspiration design comes from Try Stampin On Tuesday!

And…

The Time Out Challenge — Their theme is birthday– it’s their 6th birthday, Happy Birthday.

Start with a Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Grape card stock base and a background panel of the same that has been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder.

Cut a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper (DSP) and adhere to the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Wrap a length of Stampin’ Up! 3/8″ Tricolor Ribbon around the DSP and embossed panel adhering on the back using Stampin’ Up! Glue Dots.

Crop an oval frame from  Stampin’ Up! Blackberry Bliss card stock and a circle from Stampin Up! Whisper White card stock using Stampin’ Up! Layering Oval Dies and Layering Circle Dies. Stamp a greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Special Someone Stamp Set in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink onto the Whisper White circle. Adhere the oval and circle together using Glue Dots. Pop over the ribbon using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. 

Stamp one of the poppies from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies Stamp Set in Highland Heather and the other in Poppy Parade Inks.  Fussy cut them and pop onto the edge of the circle with two leaves.  These are left-over leaves from a previous card.  Add a few Stampin’ Up! Rhinestone Basic Jewels colored using a Stampin’ Up! Dark Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Marker. Adhere to the card base.

The sentiment stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a Whisper White panel is from Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Stamp Set.

The Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope flap gets a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper and the card project is finished.

Stampin’ Up! Thanks Tropical Oasis

Stampin’ Up! Thanks Tropical Oasis

Good Day stampin’ friends and non-stampers also!  I hope your day is going swimmingly, yes it’s raining here again.  We probably won’t have a drop of rain when it gets summertime and it’s needed for the gardens.

My card today is an easy easy one.  It is created using the Stampin’ Up! Tropical Oasis Memories and More Card Pack.

The inspiration for the card comes from the Make My Monday Challenge. Their theme is something tropical.

And…

Artsystamper Digitals Challenge & Inspiration Blog –  Their theme is lots of layers and that I certainly have as I have four layers but it looks like three as the bottom layer embossed with the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Embossing Folder is the same color as the card base.

 

Staring with a Stampin’ Up! Old Olive card stock base and a background panel of the same that has been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Embossing Folder.

Cut a panel of Stampin’ Up! So Saffron card stock and emboss using the Stampin’ Up! Coastal Weave Embossing Folder, add to the card base. Cut a panel of Stampin’ Up! Cajun Craze card stock and emboss using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder, add to the top of the So Saffron panel.

Add the cropped art panel from the Stampin’ Up! Tropical Oasis Memories & More Card Pack to the layers. Add a little bling from Stampin’ Up! Glitter Enamel Dots. The thanks is also from the Tropical Oasis Memories & More Card Pack.

There is no sentiment only a blank panel from the Tropical Oasis Memories & More Card Pack to write a note.

A Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope flap gets a panel of Stampin’ Up! Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper.

Stampin’ Up! Positive Thoughts

Stampin’ Up! Positive Thoughts

I hope everyone has had a fantastic weekend and you got to enjoy something other than staying inside?

It has taken me two days to get this card made, this was to be my card for Sunday but life kept getting in the way of getting it finished.  My grandson told me to just write up the blog and post.  I told him I had to have pictures to explain what I was writing.  Could you make a card with just instructions and no pictures?  In my quilting days, we would do mystery quilts, you didn’t know what it was going to look like until the quilt was finished.  Each week you made a block and once all the blocks needed were finished you put the quilt together.  Mary, Amy how about a mystery card?  You are always doing things to peak our interest!

My card for today is being entered into the Cardz For Galz Challenge.  Their theme is Spring flowers.

And…

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge — Their theme is flowers.

And…

The Time Out Challenges — The theme is Birthday.  Happy 6th Birthday Time Out!

The card I am featuring today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Positive Thoughts Stamp Set, the Very Versailles Stamp Set, and the Parisian Beauty Stamp Set.  My card is a CASE of Christine Versluis.  You can see her card here.

Start with a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock base and a background panel of the same that has been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Tin Tile Embossing Folder.

Crop a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock using a die from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Thoughts Dies. Stamp in Stampin’ Up! Smoky Slate ink the script stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles Stamp Set.  Over this script, stamp the postage stamp and postage markings from the Stampin’ Up! Parisian Beauty Stamp Set.  Adhere this panel to the embossed Tin Tile panel that has been adhered to the Whisper White card base.

Stamp the flowers and leaves from the Positive Thoughts Stamp Set using Stampin’ Up! Highland Heather, Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry Bermuda Bay, Pretty Peacock, and Old Olive Classic Ink. Crop using the matching die from Nature’s Thoughts Dies.  Arrange the flowers and leaves, taking pictures as you go so you can remember how you arranged it. Stamp the greeting words on Whisper White card stock scraps using Tuxedo Memento Black Ink, Fussy cut and place around card front.

The sentiment stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a Whisper White panel is from Positive Thoughts Stamp Set, and Special Someone Stamp Set, and Heart to Heart Stamp Set.  Butterflies from the Positive Thoughts Stamp Set are stamped in Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry and Bermuda Bay Classic Ink.

A Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope is stamped using the butterfly stamp from the Positive Thoughts Stamp Set.  The butterflies are stamped in the same colors as the ones on the card front and inside panel.

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.  Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me.  Have a blessed day!

I added the quote to this picture, I have had the quote forever it seems.  It is so true what it says.  Enjoy your family and friends during these trying times. Time will pass never to return and you do not want to have the “if only”, “why didn’t I” running through your thoughts for the rest of your life. 

Enjoy the moments, DO NOT let homeschooling get in the way.  Like I have said before my daughter-in-law turned Disney into a homeschool class, so use your imagination– baking teaches math, enjoying playing in the yard, collecting what you can find is science.  There are lots of creative ways, non-stressful to teach it doesn’t have to be with a book.  It is teaching they will always remember because you made it fun.  How many drops of water does it take before a penny is covered in water?  Who can blow the biggest bubble?    Watch a movie then discuss it?  Make a card–math and English covered there.



Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips

Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips

I hope your Saturday is going great and you have a great weekend planned.  Since gardening time is approaching, are your plans to work getting your garden ready for planting, going to buy plants or just planning the layout and what you want to plant this year?

The inspiration for my card is from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.

Start with a Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Delight card stock base and a background panel of the same that has been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder.  Even though this color is cheery and bright this is a color I rarely use, yellow is just not my color.

A panel of Stampin’ Up! Pleased As Punch Designer Series Paper is added across the bottom of the embossed panel.  Three tulips are stamped on Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock in different colors, Stampin’ Up! Highland Heather, Flirty Flamingo, and Rococo Rose inks using one of the smaller tulip stamps from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Stamp Set.  The leaves are stamped in Olive Olive ink.

A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Greetings is stamped in Highland Heather ink on the Pleased As Punch DSP.  A double bow is made using Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Baker’s Twine and then popped on the tulips.   Several Stampin’ Up! Pearl Basic Jewels are scattered around the card front, now it is on to the inside.

The sentiments from Stampin’ Up! Flourishing Phrases and Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Sets is stamped on the Whisper White panel using Tuxedo Memento Black Ink.  Two tulips are stamped on the lower right in Flirty Flamingo and Highland Heather inks.  A time bow is added to the tulips.

A Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope gets a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Pleased As Punch Designer Series Paper added to the panel.  All the card cuts for this card can be found at the end of the post.

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.  Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me.  Have a blessed day!

 Good Friday morning all!  Three more Fridays and it will sure Nuff be Good Friday!  Hope your week has been as good as can be with all the new situations cast upon us.  I hope everyone is staying in, enjoying family time and creating beautiful cards.

If you listen to the media you will be scared out of your wits – I refuse to let them scare me—what will be, will be and we will be around the mountain to the other side before we know it.  Help others when you are able.  My neighbor and good friend around the corner keeps texting and calling wanting to know if we need anything (you know since we are too young to go out🙂) even though we live with our son.

At the beginning of the month, we were self quarantined because we were indirectly exposed to the virus.  Can you believe the first case in our county happened to be a child at the school where I had worked and my friend works still?  Now here we are having to stay in again,  because we are too young to be out.  We did sneak out to the park for a walk though, not very many on the trail.  Just a few young ones like us!🙂

Anyway, I have enough distraction from my card crafting as it is and I do not need this added, how about you?

The card I am sharing for today features the Stampin’ Up! Lovely Is The Day and Hold On To Hope Stamp Sets.

Today’s challenge is with The Sisterhood of Crafters.  Their theme for this challenge is Easter.

Start with a Stampin’ Up! Balmy Blue card stock base and a background panel of the same that has been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder. Add a panel of Stampin’ Up! Basic Black card stock embossed with the same embossing folder.  Next comes a panel of Stampin’ Up! Old Olive card stock cropped using the rectangle die from Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Thoughts Dies.

The art piece is a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White cropped using a die from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched So Sweetly Dies, the cropping is done after the artwork has been stamped and colored.

The artwork is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Tuxedo Memento Black Ink, stamp off once, on the Whisper White panel.  I stamped the cross on masking paper and popped in the middle of the panel so the field of flowers could be stamped.  I also masked the flowers twice in order to get as many flowers as needed.

Using a Stampin’ Up! Balmy Blue Watercolor Pencil I colored the sky lightly and using an Aqua Painter spread the coloring around.  When dry I stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink, the hello in the corner.

Using a die from the Stampin’ Up! Cross of Hope Dies, I cropped the cross from a panel of Stampin’ Up! Copper Foil Sheets, I then cropped the vine using a die from Stampin’ Up! Botanical Tags Dies. The vine is woven around the cross then popped in the masked spot on the card front.  Stampin’ Up! Rhinestone Basic Jewels and Pearl Basic Jewels are added around the art piece.  All the layers are adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock.  A single flower from the Lovely Is The Day stamp set is stamped in the corner and colored using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blends Markers in Light Daffodil Delight and Old Olive.

A Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope gets a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Subtle 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper added to the panel.  All the card cuts for this card can be found at the end of the post.

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.  Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me.  Have a blessed day!

April Paper Pumpkin 

FOR THOSE YOU LOVE MOST: MY WONDERFUL FAMILY

 

At Paper Pumpkin, we believe in making a difference—especially when it comes to helping you build relationships through paper crafting. For April, we created a fun, family appreciation themed card kit that would make it easy for you to share your heart with those you love most: mom, dad, daughter, son, sister, and brother. April’s kit even includes Mother’s Day and Father’s Day sentiments, giving you the perfect way to show your appreciation for beloved parents on their special days with a beautiful, handmade card.

One more thing about this “fam-tastic” kit: The Paper Pumpkin team knows that everyone’s clan is unique. With that in mind, we provided sentiments that would include anyone in your life who feels like family; for instance, “brothers” and “sisters” who have helped you along the journey of life.
