Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Thank You!

Happy Monday all, I am hoping for a sunny day here today. I hope everyone had a nice weekend.

This is not the card intended for today, you were going to see a card created using Stampin’ Up!’s new Quite Curvy Stamp Set but since we all need a little sunshine, I decided to share Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set. It makes a cheery and bright card. At the time I made this I could not find my package of Stampin’ Up! Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper (DSP) so I made a strip to use. I think it turned out rather nice.

inspiration for today comes from Cute Card Thursday – Dies and Punches is the theme.And…

Watercooler Wednesday–WWC292- Dawn’s Challenge: Anything Goes With a Feminine Twist.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Ornate Layers Dies for the Stampin’ Up! Whisper White panel behind the sunflower. The sunflower is stamped using Stampin’ Up! Crushed Curry ink on a panel of Crushed Curry card stock. The veins of the sunflower are cropped from a panel of Stampin’ Up! So Saffron card stock using the vein sunflower die from Stampin’ Up! Sunflower Dies.

I used a strip of Whisper White card stock to create my DSP using the small sunflower in the Celebrate Sunshine Stamp Set. I used the pen tip of a Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy Stampin’ Write Marker to make the dots on the card stock and a white gel pen (non-Stampin’ Up!) to make the white dots. This DSP is what you can call paper piecing as I pieced many bits together to get the right look. The leaves of the large sunflower are stamped on Stampin’ Up! Shaded Spruce card stock using Shaded Spruce ink.

There is no inside sentiment as this is a thank you card and I want to write a note.

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!

Stampin’ Up! Prized Peony

Happy Sunday everyone. I hope you have a great Sunday. It is a good day to stay in and make cards with the weather so yukky!

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Prized Peony Stamp Set, along with Touched My Heart and Peaceful Moments Stamp Sets for the greeting and sentiment.

My inspiration for today’s challenge comes from the Cut It Up Challenge – Use A Die Cut.

And…

Seize The Birthday Anything Goes

This was an easy card to create. Start with a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock base. Emboss a Whisper White panel using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle 3D Embossing Folder, it will be added to the card base once all the card front elements are added.

The peonies are stamped on a panel of Whisper White card stock and colored using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blends in Flirty Flamingo, Mango Melody, and Shaded Spruce.

A length of Flirty Flamingo ribbon is wrapped around the embossed panel. I do not know the name of the ribbon. The Stampin’ Up! Stitched So Sweetly Die cut is popped over the ribbon and the peonies are popped on alternating corners of the panel. Three Stampin’ Up! Rhinestone Basic Jewels are scattered over the card front.

The sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a Whisper White panel. Small peonies have been stamped, colored with the same blends as the card front, cropped, and placed around the sentiment panel. Lastly, this panel is adhered to the inside of the card base and your card is finished.

Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers

Hello all, are you having a nice Saturday and have lots of plans, even with this awful thing that limits most of our activities. Have a fun weekend in spite of all the limitations.

The card I am sharing today is a Double Z Fold card. It features the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set. This card is a CAS(E) of a stampin’ friend and team member in New Jersey, no not Amy Koenders🙂, but Karen Ksenzakovic. You can see her card here.

My inspiration for this fun fold card comes from the Dream Valley Challenge – the theme is More Than One Fold

Karen has such great instructions, I believe I will direct you to her site if you are interested in the instructions. I suppose I could CAS(E) (we CAS(E) cards why not instructions) her instructions🙂 and put them here.

The tiny butterflies are cropped using the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Beauty Dies. The sentiments from Stampin’ Up! Grace’s Garden, Sending Sunshine, and Itty Bitty Birthdays Stamp Sets are stamped in Pretty Peacock ink on different size labels that have been cropped using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

A Stampin’ Up! Whisper White medium-sized envelope gets a panel of the Celebrate Sunflowers added to the envelope flap and your project is finished.

Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful

October 5, 2020 admin

Happy Monday everyone! Was your weekend everything you wanted it to be? Fun, tiring, exciting? May your Monday be Monday and your workweek starts the beginning of a fabulous week.

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful Stamp Set and Positive Thoughts Stamp Set, Whale of A Time Designer Series Paper (DSP), and the Subtle Embossing Folder. This is going to be a birthday card for my youngest sister, the happy birthday is missing inside. I want to handwrite it in huge letters when I send it to her.

My challenge for the day is with Watercooler Wednesday Anything Goes.

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock with a panel of Whisper White that has been watercolored with splashes of Stampin’ Up! Pool Party and Garden Green ink and a Stampin’ Up! Water Painter. After letting dry, the tree from Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful Stamp Set is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake ink. Then the panel is embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.

A panel of Stampin’ Up! Whale of A Time DSP is adhered to the middle of the embossed panel over the stamped tree, a tree is then stamped in Crumb Cake ink on the panel matching up the branches that can be seen on each side of the Whale Of A Time DSP panel. The birdhouse is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Real Red ink. The three leaves on the ground at the tree base are Stampin’ Up! Pumpkin Pie ink. A double piece of Stampin’ Up! Braided Trim is tied in a knot and popped on the tree.

The greeting from Stampin’ Up! Positive Thoughts Stamp Set is stamped in Crumb Cake ink on a scrap of Whisper White card stock and trimmed to be three pieces so they can be positioned on the tree the way you see.

The sentiment from Life Is Beautiful and Positive Thoughts Stamp Set is stamped on a panel of Whisper White card stock using Crumb Cake ink. The panel has been color washed using Pool Party and Garden Green inks. The trees are stamped in Crumb Cake ink.
