Stampin’ Up! Hey Chick

Stampin’ Up! Hey Chick

Have a great Friday!  I think we are going to have sunshine.

My card today is with the fun Hey Chick Stamp Set.  I made my cute little chick into a leprechaun.  How do you like that little hat?  I think I may start a hat business — what do you think?    I also use the Subtle Embossing Folder, the Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder, and the Painted Labels.

My challenges are:

Addicted to Stamps and More — Any Occasion

And Watercooler Wednesday – Dawn’s Challenge:  Anything Goes With A Masculine Twist.

Start with a Garden Green card stock card base.  Emboss a panel of Night of Navy card stock using the Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder.  Adhere to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I did not have a panel of DSP the color I wanted so I created my own with a panel of the In Good Taste DSP.  Cut a panel of the In Good Taste DSP and color using Garden Green ink and a Water Painter.  I drug the ink pad over the DSP panel then dropped water from the Water Painter and spread it around with the brush.  I let it dry overnight so that it would be thoroughly dry.  

After the panel has dried overnight, adhere to the Night of Navy panel.  Crop the Basic White card stock circle using a die from the Painted Label Dies.  Adhere it to the Garden Green DSP.

Stamp the funky chicken from the Hey Chick Stamp Set on a small panel of Basic White card stock using Tuxedo Memento Black ink.  Color using a Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blends Marker to color the hair. Use Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends Marker to color the chicken, with accents of Pumpkin Pie on his tail and feet.  Pop the bowtie that has been cropped from a scrap of the made DSP at his neck.

The Happy Saint Paddy’s Day is fussy cut from an old magazine and popped over the Basic White card stock circle using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cropped hearts from the Stitched Be Mine Dies using Garden Green card stock and embossed each one with a different embossing folder, Hammered Metal, Scripty, Ornate Floral, and Seabed Folders to create shamrocks.  The big shamrock is cropped and adhered to the top of the card.  The smaller shamrock is cropped from the Basic White card stock and then the Garden Green pieces are adhered behind each heart to create the shamrock.

The medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the created Garden Green DSP applied to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! True Love

Stampin’ Up! True Love

Happy Cold Tuesday. Have a great day and be blessed you are inside in the warmth.  My nephew and his SIL are linemen, so you know what that means in this weather.  The SIL is a helicopter lineman, meaning he stands on the runner of the helicopter and works on the lines. They have to go everywhere there is a need.

My card today is created using the True Love DSP, Stitched Be Mine Dies, Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder, the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder, and a greeting from Beautiful Moments Stamp Set. Oh, and the negative space left from cropping a panel with the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  When I looked at that it, I thought that will make a great frame and it does.

Inspiration today comes from the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge  — this week it is a color challenge.

Start with a card base of Bermuda Bay card stock and emboss a panel of the same using the Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder.  This will be adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Glue. Adhere the Basic White card stock frame over the embossed panel. 

Fussy Cut the flowers from a panel of the True Love DSP. Color using Real Red and Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blends Markers.  Use a Blender Pen and Blushing Bride ink to color the rosebuds.   Pop the flowers in the left corner of the embossed panel using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Add pearls from the Pearl Basic Jewel around the card front.

Crop three hearts from Real Red card stock using a die from the Stitched Be Mine Dies.  Stack the hearts together to give some dimension.  Stamp a greeting from the Beautiful Moments Stamp Set on the heart using Tuxedo Memento Black ink.  Pop in the upper right corner over the frame a bit. 

Fussy cut and color more flowers for the Basic White card stock sentiment panel. Adhere to the card base after coloring.

Color more flowers and adhere the colored panel to the flap of a medium Basic White envelope.

Stampin’ Up! Playful Pets

Stampin’ Up! Playful Pets

Monday is here. Are you ready for another great week?  Have you been making one Christmas card a day to get ahead of the rush.  I think it is only 316 days until Christmas so you have 300 days.  If you make two-three a week, you will be finished early.  Use a simple stamp set that you know will be returning next Christmas season.

My design inspiration for today is the TGIF Sketch Challenge for the week.

Since all my little creatures are fussy cut from DSP I believe it would qualify for Crafty Hazelnuts Pattern Paper Challenge.

Since my card is lots of animals, I believe I am eligible for the Crafty Animals: Challenge #47.

And 2 Crafty Critter Crazies Challenge.

My cute critters are from the Playful Pets Designer Series Paper as is the background panel with all the writing.  My card is a CASE of Krista Cleary-Yagci’s card.  You can see her card here.

The card base for my critters is Real Red card stock.   The black and white stripe mat you see is from the True Love DSP.  The red stripe is from the Playful Pets DSP.

All the little critters are fussy cut from the Playful Pets DSP as are the hearts that surround them.  The Love is cropped from Real Red card stock using a dies from the Well Written Dies.

The sentiment panel has a strip of the Playful Pals DSP applied at the bottom of the Basic White card stock panel.  One of the little critters wants to play with us so she is hiding and only showing her tail.

The medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the Playful Pets DSP adhered to the envelope flap.  Multipurpose glue and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals are the two adhesives used for adhering the critters to their places on the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Tranquil Thoughts

Stampin’ Up! Tranquil Thoughts

Happy rainy Saturday! The rain has not let up all night.  I believe we have taken the rain from Seattle it has rained so much in the past month.  The sun is probably shining there.

Today’s card features the Tranquil Thoughts Stamp Set,  and the Many Hearts Dies.  You can find more information about these items at the post end along with the card cuts.

Design inspiration for today’s challenge is Tuesday Morning Sketches

Since the Time Out Challenges is featuring pink and red and green, I believe my card would qualify for the challenge, even with my green being a blue-green.

Start with a Blushing Bride card stock base. Take another panel of the same cut it the same size as the card base and emboss using the Hearts Embossing Folder.  Mat this panel on a Bermuda Bay card stock panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Crop a panel from a sheet of the Oh So Ombre DSP using a die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  I believe I used the next to the smallest die.

Crop a heart from Real Red card stock, along with a heart from Rococo Rose card stock and Oh So Ombre  DSP using a die from the Many Hearts Dies.  The greeting stamped on the Oh So Ombre DSP is from the Tranquil Thoughts Stamp Set.

After adhering all the elements to the Heart embossed panel adhere the embossed panel to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Three pearls from the Pastel Pearls are adhered above the Many Hearts. 

The sentiment panel is Basic White card stock and has hearts from the Many Hearts adhered across the panel using Multipurpose Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Stitched Be Mine

Stampin’ Up! Stitched Be Mine

Good  Thursday morning everyone.  Here’s hoping we have another nice day with no rain.  

Today’s card features the Stitched Be Mine Dies, the Flower & Field DSP, and the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set, along with the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder.  I believe I used it yesterday, but it just so fit the card for today.  You can find more information about these items at the post end along with the card cuts.

Design inspiration for today’s challenge is Try Stampin’ On Tuesday.    

Since the Double D Challenge is featuring pink and red and black and green, I believe my card would qualify for the challenge.  

Start with a Rococo Rose card stock base. Take a panel from the Sale-A-Bration Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper (free with a $50 order), cut it the same size as the card base and emboss using the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder.  The portion you cut from the panel emboss it using the Scripty Embossing Folder.  Adhere it vertically over the Ornate Floral Embossing.

Crop a panel from a sheet of the Flower & Field DSP using a die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  I believe I used the 4th largest. Crop the heart from Just Jade card stock, along the hearts used as trim at the bottom of the Flower & Field DSP using dies from the Stitched Be Mine Dies.  The greeting stamped on the Just Jade heart is from the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set.

After adhering all the elements to the Ornate Floral embossed panel adhere the embossed panel to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Three pearls from the Pastel Pearls are adhered to the left corner of the Flower & Field DSP panel.

The sentiment panel is from the Oh So Ombre DSP and has a cluster of flowers from the Flower & Field DSP fussy cut and adhered to the corner of the panel using Multipurpose Glue.

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