Stampin’ Up! Dandy Garden

My card today features the Dandy Garden DSP, soon to be retired. Bumblebee card stock is the base with a panel of the same embossed using the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder. Using a Blending Brush, Crumb Cake ink is brushed on random bricks.

My design inspiration comes from Try Stampin’ On Tuesday.

Fusion Card Challenge — Bee Kind This is my second entry.

A panel is cut from the Dandy Garden DSP and matted on a Basic White mat then pop on the card front over another panel of the DSP that is banded across the card front. A narrow Basic White strip is stamped with a greeting from the new Pansy Patch Stamp Set, available May 4 to customers. It is popped across the bottom of the Blackberry Bliss panel from the Dandy Garden DSP. Several bees are fussy cut and pop on the card front.

Several jewels are scattered randomly on the card front.

A sentiment from the Pansy Patch Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a Basic White card stock panel. Dragonflies from the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set are stamped in the same ink at the top and bottom of the panel.

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

Stampin’ Up! Here’s A Card

Do I say Happy Pollen Day or Happy Thursday, either way, we are covered up in pollen. I suppose that is the price of having beautiful flowers and trees that bloom in the spring.

My card today features my favorite DSP that will be retiring soon, so I want to use it while I can.

My inspirations are from two challenges today.

Just Us Girls. Their challenge this week is Stripes.

And..

Tuesday Morning Sketches with a great sketch challenge for the week. These two challenges combine very well for my creation today.

I started with a Basic Black card stock base adding a layer of True Love DSP matted with Basic White card stock.

I cut a panel of True Love DSP that has flowers, cropped a circle from the middle using Layering Circle Dies, and then colored using Rococo Rose, Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue, Soft Suede and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. Once colored, I popped it back over the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The cropped panel was matted on a Basic White card stock panel before popping the circle back in.

I adhered the colored panel to the card front, popped three pearls from Pastel Pearls to the lower left of the card front. I stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink a greeting from Here’s A Card Stamp Set on a scrap of Basic White card stock and flagged one end, then popped on the lower right corner.

The inside is left blank for a note as this is a thank you card. I did add a strip of the True Love DSP and curved it up the page a bit.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the True Love DSP added to the flap.

Stampin’ Up! Birds & Branches

I hope everyone is planning a great day. For those of you who have gardens it will be a great day for gardening.

My design inspiration is from the Fusion Card Challenge. I chose the design on the left. The birds probably ate all my bees!

Start with a Pretty Peacock card stock base. Emboss the top portion of the card after you have cropped it using the Birds & More Dies. Adhere a panel of Basic White on the inside of the front panel, so the greeting can be placed on it. Stamp in Tuxedo Memento Black ink a greeting from Sending Sunshine Stamp Set. Fussy cut the greeting and adhere to the Basic White panel.

A panel of In Good Taste DSP is cut and embossed using the Brick & Mortar Embossing Folder. This is adhered over the card front.

Stamp in Tuxedo Memento Black ink the birds from the Quite Curvy Stamp Set, color using So Saffron, Real Red, Pool Party, and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. Fussy cut butterflies from the Butterfly Bijou DSP. Crop from Pear Pizzazz card stock the leave branches from the Birds & More Dies. Arrange all of these on the card front over the Brick & Mortar embossed panel.

A sentiment from the Sending Sunshine Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a panel of Basic White card stock.

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

Stampin’ Up! True Love

I hope everyone had a Happy Easter and you can you didn’t sneak any candy eggs or peeps out of someone’s basket. Did you make a Peeps cake? Haven’t seen one of those for many years.

My card today features the True Love DSP with a little help from the February Paper Pumpkin -Bouquet of Hope leftovers.

My design inspiration is from the Paper Players Challenge

Start with a Blackberry Bliss card stock base. Adhere a Basic White card stock panel over the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue Emboss a panel of Rococo Rose card stock using the Ornate Floral 3-D Embossing Folder. Cut the panel diagonally after embossing.

Adhere the embossed panel over the Basic White card stock, then adhere the Paper Pumpkin panel over the embossed panel. Stamp the greeting onto the Basic White card stock using Blackberry Bliss ink. Color the True Love DSP flowers using Rococo Rose and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. Fussy cut the flowers and pop on the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add three of the sequins from the Paper Pumpkin leftovers.

Stamp a sentiment from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set in Blackberry Bliss ink on a panel of Basic White card stock. Add flowers to the corners of the panel and adhere to the inside card base.

The Basic White envelope flap gets a panel of the True Love DSP.

Stampin’ Up! Free As A Bird

Up! Free Happy Easter weekend! I hope you have fun celebrating with family and friends.

My card today features the Free As A Bird Stamp Set and the Friends Like You Stamp Set.

My inspiration for the design is the Inspire Create Challenge. It is a great challenge to make a fun fold card. The design is great for a gate fold card.

Mint Macaron card stock

Card base — 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 2-1/8″ on both ends of card stock

First Layer : Pretty Peacock card stock

Mats for art piece, cut the following — (4) 2″ x 5-3/8″– Cut (1) 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ — Cut (1) 2-3/8″ x 4-1/2″

Second Layer on card front — Butterfly Bijou DSP — Cut (2) 1-7/8″ x 5-1/8″

Second Layer inside — Basic White card stock — 1-7/8″ x 5-1/8″ Cut (2) — 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″ Cut (1)– Color using Blending Brushes, Pool Party and Seaside Spray ink.

Basic White card stock — art piece on card front — 2-1/4″ x 4-3/8″

Stamp in Tuxedo Memento Black in an image from the Free As A Bird Stamp Set onto the Basic White card stock panel that has been colored. Color the birds using Stampin’ Blends in Seaside Spray, Poppy Parade, So Saffron, and Crumb Cake. Color the tree branch using Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends. Color the leaves using Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends and the blossoms in Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blends, retiring soon. It would be nice if they were not because Rococo Rose is a nice pink.

Before cutting the art piece for the inside into three pieces, stamp the birds from the Free As A Bird Stamp Set and color using the same colors as the front is colored. After coloring cut into the three pieces of sizes given above. I left the inside free of a sentiment because I want to add three and have not decided on them, it will be who I decide to send the card as to the sentiments used.

Give a medium Basic White envelope a panel of the Butterfly Bijou DSP to the envelope flap.
