Stampin’ Up! Back On Your Feet

Happy Memorial Day everyone. First I would like to say, I hope you take time at 3 p.m. for a moment of silence to remember the ones who gave their all for us to have the freedom we still have today.

Stampin’ Up!’s Back On Your Feet is the feature today for my creation. This is a cute stamp set.

My inspiration comes Just Use Girls Challenge — Wild Card Week — Spots & Dots. I have the spots on my turtle and giraffe.

I started with a Garden Green card stock base adding a panel of Basic White as a mat for the Bloom Where You’re Planted DSP.

Two Basic White card stock rectangles are cut and stamped with Tuxedo Memento Black ink using images from the Back On Your Feet Stamp Set. The turtle and giraffe are colored using Garden Green, Crumb Cake, So Saffron, and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Once the coloring is finished the two art pieces are matted on Garden Green card stock and adhered to the Bloom Where You’re Planted DSP panel. Linen thread is loosely placed behind the giraffe. Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels are popped on both pieces. One greeting is stamped on the art piece, the other is stamped, fussy cut, and popped on with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment panel resembles the card front with the turtle and giraffe stamped on either side and a sentiment stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink semi between the two images.

Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home with Friends Are Like Seashells

Sunday everyone, are you watching the Indy 500, which seems to be a Memorial Day tradition. I have a race fan so of course, he’s watching waiting for the NASCAR one after this one is over.

The card I am sharing today is a combination of Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home and Friends Are Like Seashells Stamp Sets along with the Smooth Sailing Dies and the Seabed Embossing Folder.

My inspiration for today’s card is the Card Concept Challenge. I love the overall theme, but did not make it red, white, and blue.

The card base is Basic White card stock with a panel of the Whale of A Time DSP embossed using the Seabed Embossing Folder, then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A panel of Basic White card stock is embossed using the Seabed Embossing Folder and adhered over the Whale Of A Time DSP panel.

The ship’s wheel and a portion of the seagrass are cropped from the same panel of DSP as the background panel. The seashells and starfish are stamped in Just Jade ink on Pearlescent Specialty Paper, fussy cut, and popped over the Seabed embossed panel. The lighthouse and sailboat are from the Sailing Home Stamp Set and are stamped in Just Jade ink, cropped, and popped on the Basic White panel. The ship’s wheel gets a Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewel popped in the middle of the wheel. The ship’s wheel is popped against the lighthouse.

The inside panel of Basic White card stock has three sailboats from the Sailing Home Stamp Set stamped in Just Jade ink, then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Whale Of A Time DSP applied to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms with Grace’s Garden

Happy sunny Saturday or I hope it is sunny where you are!

The card I am sharing today is another made using Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms. I have also used the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder and the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

Inspiration for my challenge today is from Addicted to Stamps and More — theme this week is Make Your Mark.

And Little Red Wagon Challenge — their theme is flowers

I started with a Basic White card stock base with a panel of the same embossed using the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder, then adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the card base.

A panel of the Hand Penned DSP is cropped using an Ornate Frames Die and adhered over the embossed panel. Blossoms from the Forever Blossom Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a Basic White card stock panel then cropped using a Stitched So Sweetly Die. The blossoms are colored using Melon Mambo ink and alcohol. I mixed the two together and then used extra alcohol to get the right color of pink. I used a Stampin’ Blends Color Blender marker that no longer worked to add the ink to the blossoms. The leaves are colored using a Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Marker.

The blossoms are also stamped on the top of the inside panel leaving ample space for a note of birthday wishes, thinking of you, sympathy, or any type of note.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful World

I forgot to give credit yesterday for CAS(E)ing Nikki Spencer from Australia.

Happy Memorial Day weekend. I hope everyone has a great weekend and that you will share with your children, if you have children, what this day is all about, honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful World Stamp Set and Whale of A Time DSP. This is not my usual card type, but I thought I would make one with no flowers. This is for my grandson’s graduation from college with a Master’s in some sort of Biomedical Research.

Try Stampin’ On Tuesday is my design inspiration for today. I liked creating the window card, kind of neat.

And Watercooler Wednesday Challenge — Cathy’s Challenge All About Occasions. My occasion is my grandson’s graduation from college.

I started with a Basic White card stock base. I cut the front panel at 1-1/8″ in order to add the window cut from a panel of window sheet. The window piece is cut 1-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ and adhered to the top portion of the card front using Mini Glue Dots. The bottom portion below the window is 3″ x 4-1/4″. The flag piece is 1-1/8″ x 1-1/8″ and adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The Whale of A Time DSP is cut to the same measurements as the card front and adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. A greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful World Stamp Set is stamped in Pacific Point ink on the top portion of the card. Two turtles are fussy cut and popped on the Pacific Point flag.

The sentiment panel which shows through the window is a panel of the same DSP and has the sentiment stamped in Pacific Point ink in the upper corner. The panel has been matted on another panel of the Whale of A Time DSP.

Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies

Happy Day everyone. You are one day closer to a three-day weekend, are you excited. Once upon a time we would be camping in the mountains between North Carolina and Tennessee. You had to have a jeep to get to the camp or walk. My friend and I usually would walk because it was so rugged and scary in places that we chose to walk. We could walk faster than the jeeps could go.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin” Up! Painted Poppies Stamp Set, the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set, the Poppy Moment and Painted Label Dies.

My inspiration for today comes from the Double D Challenge. I chose the poppies as it is May and soon Memorial Day.

I started with a Basic White card stock base with a panel of the same cropped using a die from the Poppy Moment Dies. This panel is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue in several spots.

The poppies from the Painted Poppies Stamp Set are stamped on Basic White card stock using Tuxedo Memento Black Ink. Let the ink dry well or use your heat tool to dry before you color. I learned the hard way. The ink will run and I have never had that before with Memento ink when using alcohol markers. The poppies are colored using Poppy Parade, Petal Pink, Real Red, Flirty Flamingo, Calypso Coral, and the Color Blender Stampin’ Blends Markers. I had a hard time getting the color of pink I wanted, I can not tell you how many combinations I tried in order to get that pink. Petal Pink is just not that color and there is no Blushing Bride marker. Granny Apple Green is used for the leaves.

The poppies are arranged and popped on the card front over the cropping using Mini Glue Dot. Several Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels are scattered around the card front. I only used a portion of the greeting from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set.

A poppy from the Painted Poppies Stamp Set is stamped in the corner of a Basic White panel and colored using the Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green markers, then popped on the card base.
