February 2021 – Stampin with Shirley G

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden

Good Morning! Can you believe this is the last day of February and the last day of Sale-A-Bration. You need to get your last-minute order in before the time is gone. Have a great Sunday. Are you predicting March in come in like a lamb or a lion? Could be either according to your location.

My inspiration for the design is from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.

Today my card is created using the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set and the Positive Thoughts Stamp Set. The Butterfly Bijou DSP is also used.

Start with a Just Jade card stock card base. Crop a panel of Basic White card stock using the largest die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies. Stamp in greeting in Tuxedo Memento Black ink then adhere this panel to the card base. Cut the banner across the card from a panel of Butterfly Bijou DSP and for the mat cut a piece from the True Love DSP.

Stamp the flower image from the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set on the Basic White card stock square that has been cropped using a die from the Stitched Shapes Dies. Color the image using Rococo Rose and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. Mat on a square of Just Jade card stock. Pop one Elegant Faceted Gem on the card front.

Butterflies are fussy cut from a panel of the Butterfly Bijou DSP and adhered at the top and bottom of the Basic White sentiment panel.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the Butterfly Bijou DSP applied to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! A Touch of Ink

Good Morning! Are you happy it is Friday or does your weekend come in the middle of the week. That does happen to so many people they have two days off from work in the middle of the week and work weekends.

The card today is a Thinking of You card with the greeting being from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set. When you have a Thinking of You card it can be made into a birthday card, sympathy, encouragement, or any kind you chose by the sentiment you have on the inside of the card. That is what is so great about putting Thinking of You as the greeting. This card also features the A Touch of Ink Stamp Set, using the hummingbird and flower for the art piece.

Inspiration comes from the Fusion Challenge. I am playing with both sides, the sketch & the photo.

Start with a card base of Basic White card stock. Adhere a panel of Bermuda Bay card stock over the front of the card base. Next, adhere one of the green panels of DSP from the Oh So Ombre DSP. Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere these panels together.

On a panel of Basic White card stock stamp in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink the flower from the Touch of Ink Stamp Set. Stamp the Thinking of You greeting from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set.

Stamp the hummingbird on a separate panel of card stock from the A Touch of Ink Stamp Set so it can be fussy cut. Color the hummingbird and flower using Stampin’ Blends Markers in Shaded Spruce, Highland Heather, and Purple Posy.

Cut two strips of DSP, one from the Oh So Ombre DSP and one from the Butterfly Bijou DSP. Flag one end of the Oh So Ombre strip. Adhere the flagged strip over the longer strip then adhere both to the right edge of the card front. Pop three pearls from the Pastel Pearls to the card front.

On a pink panel of the Oh So Ombre DSP stamp a sentiment from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set. Stamp the flower and hummingbird from the A Touch of Ink Stamp Set and color with the same markers as the flower and hummingbird on the card front.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the Flower & Field DSP applied to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Prettiest Birthday with Flower & Field

Can you believe there are only a few days left in February? Christmas will be here before you know it.

The card today is another created using a Sale-A-Bration Free item. Sale-A-Bration will end on February 28, so only a few days left to get free items. The featured products used in this card are the Prettiest Birthday Stamp Set for the greeting and the Flower & Field DSP.

My inspiration for my card comes from As You See It Challenge — The Colour That Makes Me Feel the Most Cozy Is. The colors that make me feel the coziest are reds and black. Guess I am a Dawg fan at heart!

I started by adhering a panel of Flower & Field DSP to a Real Red card stock base.

Cut a panel of the Flower & Field DSP and crop a heart using a dies from the Stitched Be Mine Dies. Adhere to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Cut a panel of Vellum card stock and adhere on the left side using a Mini Glue Dot. Pop the Flower & Field heart over the Vellum using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp the Happy Birthday greeting from the Punch Party Stamp Set in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on the red heart.

Randomly place the red and white heart from the Resin Hearts around the card front.

On a panel of Basic White card stock, stamp a sentiment from the Prettiest Birthday Stamp Set in Tuxedo Memento Black ink. A border of the Flower & Field DSP.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the Flower & Field DSP applied to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brillance

I ordered Butterfly Brilliance set the day pre-order opened but for some reason, I am just now getting to play with this gorgeous butterfly DSP. The Butterfly Bijou 6″ x 6″ DSP (coming on March 2!) is my main feature. The greeting is from a Sale-A-Bration item — A Touch of Ink. Sale-A-Bration will end in four (4) days, 5 counting today. It will return later in the summer with all new Sale-A-Bration items.

My design inspiration comes from the Fab Friday Challenge.

The card base is Bermuda Bay card stock with a panel of the same embossed using the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder. It is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Cut a panel of the Butterfly Bijou 6″ x 6″ DSP and mat it to a panel of So Saffron card stock. After matting adhere to the panel over the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossed panel. Add three Elegant Faceted Gems to the top of the card.

Cut a strip of So Saffron card stock and a triangle of Bermuda Bay card stock. On the Bermuda Bay portion stamp the greeting from A Touch of Ink Stamp Set. This is a free Sale-A-Bration item. Sale-A-Bration ends in 4 days. Pop on the card front using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment panel is a panel of So Saffron card stock with a border of the Butterfly Bijou DSP.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the Butterfly Bijou DSP applied to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Hey Chick

This is a cute little card that I CASEd from Debbie O’Neil. Here is her video on creating this cute card.

This is the outside when the card is closed.

Her instructions are very detailed and easy to follow. Her instructions are much more than I could write on creating this card so for written instructions, go to her site.

This is the first view after you open the doors.
