March 2021 – Stampin with Shirley G

Stampin’ Up! Floral Essence

My card today features the soon-to-be retired Floral Essence Stamp Set along with the Stitched Lace Dies and the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder.

Inspiration for colors comes from the Hand Stamped Sentiment Color Challenge

MoJo Monday is the inspiration for the design.

Start with a Highland Heather card stock card base and layer a panel of the same that has been embossed using the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder. Cut a panel of the 2021-2022 Incolor DSP in Highland Heather, mat on a panel of Basic White card stock. Adhere over the embossed panel of Ornate Floral Highland Heather card stock. Crop a panel of Basic White card stock using the Stitched Lace Die. Cut a strip of the finished crop for the band across the Ornate Floral embossed panel.

A small strip of the 2021-2022 Incolor DSP in So Saffron is cut, embossed using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder and matted on a panel of Basic White card stock. This is adhered over the embossed panel with the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder under the edge of the band of lace.

Circles are cut from Basic White card stock and Pear Pizzazz card stock using the Layering Circle Dies. Stamp a greeting from the Tasteful Touches Stamp Set in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on the Basic White circle.

Stamp flowers in Highland Heather ink and leaves in Pear Pizzazz ink using the Floral Essence Stamp Set. Color the center of the flowers using a Dark So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Marker. Pop these around the Basic White circle using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Trim the sentiment panel with a strip of the 2021-2022 Incolor DSP in Highland Heather, adhere a sprig of Pear Pizzazz greenery using the Birds & More Dies.

The Basic White envelope flap gets embossed using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder.

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Bijou

Happy Saturday, I think I said this last week, why is it even though I am retired that I always look forward to the weekend. I retired at 48 from the DeKalb School System so I have been retired for many, many years and I still feel the same as when I was I worked. I know every day can be a weekend for us but there just seems to be things you do through the week that you do not once do the weekend rolls around just like when you worked. Hope you are having a great one.

My card today features the Butterfly Bijou DSP and a greeting from the Gift of Hope Stamp Set along with the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder and the Stitched Lace Die.

Inspiration for the design comes from the Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge — sketch by Melissa Craig.

Start with a Just Jade card stock card base and layer a panel of the same that has been embossed using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder. Crop a panel of Basic White card stock using the Stitched Lace Die. Cut a strip of the finished crop for the band across the Meadow Moments embossed panel.

A panel of the Butterfly Bijou DSP is cut from a panel of the DSP and matted on a panel of Gorgeous Grape card stock. This is adhered over the embossed panel with the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder and the band of lace.

The greeting is from the Gift of Hope Stamp Set and is stamped in Shaded Spruce ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock. The greeting is matted on a square of Gorgeous Grape card stock that has been cropped using a die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies. Fussy cut a butterfly from a panel of the Butterfly Brilliance DSP and pop on the card front. Pop five Rhinestone Basic Jewels, colored with the Dark Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blends Marker onto the butterfly body.

The inside sentiment panel is without a sentiment so a note can be written. A strip of the Butterfly Bijou DSP and a fussy cut butterfly from another panel of the DSP is adhered over the strip.

The medium Basic White envelope flap gets a panel of Butterfly Bijou DSP.

Stampin’ Up! Tranquil Thoughts Are Quite Curvy

Happy Friday everyone, do you have great plans for the weekend? Or is it just a time to rest and relax and preparing for the coming week? For me rest, sitting with an ill person all week is so tiring especially when you are an old person, but I would have it no other way. Have a fun weekend whatever you choose to do.

My card today features two of my favorite stamp sets, Quite Curvy and Tranquil Thoughts. This was an easy card to create, but I changed the design for the art piece three times before I was satisfied with how it looked. Have you ever had that happen?

My inspiration for today’s card is the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #412.

Start with a Basic White card stock base. Layer a panel of Basic White card stock embossed using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder to the card base using Multipurpose Glue.

Colorwash a panel of Basic White card stock using Seaside Spray ink and a Blending Brush. These brushes make color washing so easy. The ink seems to glide onto the card stock. After coloring, cut three strips and mat using Night of Navy card stock. Adhere to the embossed panel.

Crop an oval using the largest one from the Stitched Shape Dies. Stamp the garland of flowers from the Quite Curvy Stamp Set in Tuxedo Memento Black ink onto the oval. Color using Rococo Rose and Granny Apple Green Stampin Blends Markers. Stamp a greeting from the Quite Curvy Stamp Set in Tuxedo Memento Black ink between the garlands on the oval.

Crop a Basic White card stock butterfly using a Brilliant Wings Die and color wash with Highland Heather ink. Pop onto the oval.

The first oval I cropped ended up being too small for the card front so I am using it on the sentiment panel for the greeting. The greeting is from the Tranquil Thoughts Stamp Set and is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink. Adhere the oval to the panel, then stamp using black ink the garland from the Quite Curvy Stamp Set above and below the oval. Color using Stampin Blends in the same color as the front.

The medium Basic White envelope flap gets a panel of Oh So Ombre DSP.

Stampin’ Up!

I hope everyone is having a good day with the clouds & chilliness today. I have a great idea, make cards.

My card today features the Gift of Hope Stamp Set, along with the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder. This folder was a gift, I do not know how I have overlooked it in the catalog for so long, so happy it was given to me.

The design inspiration is from the Try Stampin On Tuesday Challenge.

And… The Sisterhood of Crafters–their challenge is Easter/Spring.

Start with a card base of Pool Party card stock, emboss a panel of the same using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder, apply to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Using Tuxedo Memento Black ink and the Gift of Hope Stamp Set, stamp the image on a panel of Basic White card stock. Color the image using Rococo Rose, Granny Apple Green, and Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends Markers. Crop using the largest dies from the Layering Circle Dies. Adhere to the embossed panel.

Crop the Rococo Rose card stock band using a die from the Stitched Be Mine Dies. Layer a piece of Vellum card stock over the top using Glue Dots, adhere to the embossed panel with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Wrap a length of Playing with Patterns Ribbon around the middle of the band adhering in the back with tape. Make a bow and pop on using a glue dot. Adhere the embossed panel to the card base.

Stamp the same image from the Gift of Hope Stamp Set as the one on the card front on a panel of Basic White card stock and color using the same markers.

Emboss the flap of a medium Basic White envelope using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder.

Stampin’ Up! Birds & More

Happy sunny Sunday. It is a beautiful day for a walk or just sitting on a bench in the park with the pollen swirling around you.

My card today features the Birds & More Dies. Pictures are the dies I used.

Inspiration for the design is from the Fab Friday 209 Challenge.

Start your creation by using the Blending Brushes, don’t you just love using these, to color a panel of Basic White card stock using Flirty Flamingo, Calypso Coral, Smoky Slate, Seaside Slate, and Gorgeous Grape Classic Stamp Pads. The ink goes on so smooth using these brushes. After coloring, cut to the size needed for the focal background panel. Mat the panel in Basic Black card stock then adhere to the Basic White card stock base.

My little Pool Party cardstock bird found an old piece of fence that had fallen down or so he thought, it only turned out to be a square of In Good Taste DSP instead. He decided to perch on the two little branches that were cropped using a die from the Birds & More Dies.

He thought the Shaded Spruce card stock branch also cropped from the Birds & More Dies may give him shade from the hot Georgia sun so he left a Thank you note in Flirty Flamingo ink on a little scrap of Basic White card stock.

The sentiment panel is left blank so a more detailed thank you can be written. A few clouds have been added in Seaside Spray ink so the panel will be a bit more interesting looking when the receiver gets the card.

The medium Basic White envelope gets clouds stenciled on the envelope flap using one of the stencils from the March Paper Pumpkin.
