December 2020 – Stampin with Shirley G

Stampin’ Up! So Many Stars

Three days and all your prepping for the big event will be over and you can let a sigh of relief come out. It is not the holiday but all the prepping you are relieved from. This year if Susan Stanley, a stampin’ teammate on Amy’s Inkin Krew had not sent me an ornament, I would not even had an ornament to display for Christmas. All of mine are still in storage. I feel my whole life is in storage at the moment.

My design inspiration comes from the Try Stampin’ On Tuesday Challenge.

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy card stock with a panel of the same embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder. A strip of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy ink using a stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Floating and Fluttering Stamp Set. I saw this on one of Amy Koender’s cards so I am CAS(E)ing.

The stars are from Stampin’ Up! Stitched Stars Dies and is cropped from Whisper White card stock. The jewels that are randomly placed are from the Stampin’ Up! Rhinestone Basic Jewels. It is hard to see the embossing on the embossed panel but visible in the lower corner. The tiny flag is a scrap left from another card made. I cut a small strip and flagged it and popper under the solid Night of Navy star. The greeting is from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Autumn Stamp Set.

The Whisper White card stock sentiment panel is left blank for a note to be written. It does have a single star from the Stitched Star Dies.

A Whisper White envelope gets art work stamped on the flap from the Floating & Fluttering 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. Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me. Have a blessed day!

Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy

Hard to believe it is Thursday already, seems it was here only yesterday!

My card today features the Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy Stamp Set (available to customers January 2021) along with Stampin’ Up! Plaid Tiding DSP (retiring), the Stampin’ Up! Ornate Borders Dies, and the Stampin’ Up! Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (available to customers January 2021).

My design inspiration is from the Try Stampin’ on Tuesday Challenge

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Pretty Peacock card stock with a panel of the same embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. The embossed panel is adhered to the card base after all the elements are popped on the embossed panel.

The Stampin’ Up! Plaid Tidings DSP strip down the middle has a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock border created using the Stampin’ Up! Ornate Borders Dies. This strip is adhered down the middle of the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The greeting is from Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthday Stamp Set and is stamped on Whisper White card stock and then flagized (is that a word?) on each end. The flowers are from Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy Stamp Set. They are colored using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blends Markers in Light Old Olive and Light and Dark Flirty Flamingo.

The inside panel is left blank except for the flower border from the Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy Stamp Set.

The envelope flap gets the flower border stamped on it also.

Stampin’ Up! Dove of Hope

Good Day everyone. Have a great one!

The stamp set I am sharing today is Stampin’ Up! Dove of Hope Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Detailed Dove Dies.

Dream Valley Challenge is one of the challenges I am playing today. The theme is Christmas.

And Make My Monday Challenge. Their theme is also Christmas.

This was a simple and easy card to do. All that was required was to cut the layers which is an easy task and crop the dove from the Stampin’ Up! Detailed Dove Dies and pop it on the card front. I used glue dots, Stampin’ Dimensionals, and Multipurpose Liquid Glue in popping it on. The background panel is from a Stampin’ Up! Paper Pumpkin.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Bough Dies to crop the greenery and the twig in the dove’s beak. It does show very well but I placed one of the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels behind the eye. The greenery has a tiny linen bow created using Stampin’ Up! Linen Twine.

The greeting is from the Stampin’ Up! Dove of Hope Stamp Set and is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink. I have no inside sentiment for now until I can decide which one and the person receiving the card.

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden

Happy Friday everyone. I hope your day is going great and you are enjoying the chilly weather. Let it stay chilly, not cold or snow!

I am sharing another card made with the fabulous Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden stamp set (available January 2021). I am also using the Stampin’ Up! Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Dragonflies Punch.

My challenge is with Cute Card Thursday – Anything Goes.

And

Craftyhazelnut’s Patterned Paper Challenge – Use patterned paper.

I started with a card base of Stampin’ Up! Bumblebee card stock with a layer of Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow card stock for the mat for the Stampin’ Up! Dandy Garden DSP. The DSP is a piece that had a portion cropped out for another card. I decided to use the negative space so I stamped flowers and dragonflies from the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden stamp set onto a panel of Whisper White card stock and placed the negative portion over the flowers.

A length of Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow 3/16″ Braided Trim is wrapped around the DSP and tied in a bow. A little dragonfly from the DSP is fussy cut and popped on the flowers in the negative space. Three Stampin’ Up! Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels are added to the card front, one being the head of the large dragonfly that was punched using the Stampin’ Up! Dragonflies Punch. Now everything is ready to pop onto the card base. The greeting is from Stampin’ Up! Autumn Goodness stamp set which will be retiring soon.

The inside sentiment panel gets a panel of DSP from the Dandy Garden DSP with a dragonfly stamped in Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow ink and colored using Stampin’ Up! Light & Dark Pumpkin Pie Blends. The sentiment is also from the Autumn Goodness stamp set.

A Whisper White envelope gets a panel of the Dandy Garden DSP added to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia

Welcome to the weekend. It’s here! Do you have great plans?

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Dies and Stampin’ Up! Sending Sunshine Stamp Set.

Design inspiration is from Freshly Made Sketches – A Sketch by Julie.

The card base is Whisper White card stock with a panel of the same embossed with the Stampin’ Up! Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.

A panel of the Stampin’ Up! Plaid Tidings 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper is adhered over the Whisper White embossed panel. A square of Stampin’ Up! Real Red card stock is embossed using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder and then popped over the plaid DSP using Stampin’ Up! Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

From Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock a poinsettia from the Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Dies is cropped, brushed with Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake ink. It is then popped over the Real Red square using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Leaves from the dies are cropped from a scrap of Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow card stock and the berries are cropped from scraps of Real Red card stock.

The sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Sending Sunshine stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on the Whisper White panel. The panel is trimmed with a strip of the Plaid Tidings DSP.

A Whisper White envelope gets a panel of the Plaid Tidings DSP added to the envelope flap.
