Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells

Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells

Hope everyone has a great weekend.  Any exciting plan?

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Stamp Set along with the Tasteful Textile and Seabed 3D Embossing Folders.  I also used Crumb Cake, Misty Moonlight, and Seaside Spray Classic Stamp Pads and Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blends Combo Marker.

Inspiration for my challenge comes from these two challenges, the first is Fusion Card Challenge. It has a sketch and a photo challenge, which happens to be seashells.

Another–  Seize the Birthday – Theme Nautical.

I started with a Night of Navy card stock with a panel of Seaside Spray card stock embossed using the Seabed 3D Embossing Folder. The embossed panel is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A panel of Night of Navy card stock is cropped using a die from the Scallop Contour Dies and adhered over the embossed panel to become the mat for the Basic White card stock panel art panel that gets embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder after a greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Elegantly Said Cling Stamp Set is stamped on the panel in Misty Moonlight ink.  The scallops on the Night of Navy panel resembles waves on the ocean.

The starfish and sand dollars are stamped on a scrap of paper, do not know which DSP it is from as it was in the scrap bin. Even though there are dies to crop them, I fussy cut them out.  They were then popped on the Basic White card stock panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Three Opal Rounds are popped around the card front.

A panel of Basic White card stock is stamped with sand dollars and a starfish from the Friends Are Like Seashells Stamp Set. I used a post-it note to mask each sand dollar as I stamped them in Seaside Spray ink.

A medium Basic White envelope has the envelope flap stamped using Seaside Spray ink with the sand dollars and starfish images from the Friends Are Like Seashells Stamp Set.

Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflower

Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflower

Good Day, it is Wednesday and you are on the downhill side toward the weekend.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflower Stamp Set.  I believe this is the first card in a while that I do not have an embossed panel.  The giant sunflower and DSP make up the card.

My design today is inspired by the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge.

I started with Flirty Flamingo card stock as the base, adding layers of DSP matted on Basic White card stock.  The Calyspo Coral polka dot panel from You’re A Peach DSP is used as the background panel.  A panel of Sweet Symmetry DSP is added down the middle, with the final layer being from Hand Penned DSP.

The giant sunflower from Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflower is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink on a panel of Basic White card stock and cropped using a die from the Sunflower Dies.  it is then popped on using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Leaves are stamped in Pear Pizzazz, fussy cut, and popped around the sunflower.

The greeting is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink on a scrap left from the Hand Penned DSP, fussy cut and popped on the card front

Stampin’ Up! Color & Contour

Stampin’ Up! Color & Contour

Hope your day is going well and that you are having a sunny but cool day, here it is hot and humid–that’s Georgia weather.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Color & Contour Stamp Set, along with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder.

Inspiration for my card today comes from the Fusion Challenge. I chose the sketch challenge along with the pink flowers.

Start with a Basic White card stock base with a panel of the same embossed using the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder.  The panel is then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Cut a strip of Hand Penned DSP and adhered down the right side of the card front.  Stamp flowers and leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Color & Contour Stamp Set in Tuxedo Memento Black ink.  Let the ink dry well or use your heat tool before you start coloring.  Use Stampin’ Blends Markers in Polished Pink, Soft Succulent, and the Color Lifer to color the leaves and flowers.  You will use the Color Lifer a lot to get the color of pink needed.

  Fussy cut the flowers & leaves. Pop the flowers and leaves on using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots. Stamp a greeting from the Color & Contour Stamp Set in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock and fussy cut, then pop on the card with a glue dot.

I used another flower from the Color & Contour Stamp Set for the inside panel. They are colored using the same color of Stampin’ Blends Markers.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Hand Penned DSP applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Mountain Air

Stampin’ Up! Mountain Air

Happy Sunday everyone, I hope your day has been restful and fantastic.  I had a busy day.  A baby shower for my grandson and his wife. Baby showers are so different today than when I was young.  Back then it was 10-12 ladies only and you had cookies, little sandwiches, and punch. Today’s was a spread with 100+ in attendance.  That many people are usually for weddings. 

The card I am sharing today is created using images from many stamp sets.  I suppose you could say Stampin’ Up! Mountain Air is the primary set used.  I used Mountain Air, and Sailing Home current stamp sets.  Birthday Delivery is retired as is In The Meadow and Fable Friends, and High Tide but these stamp sets had the animals I need for my card so I am happy I still have them. 

My inspiration for today’s card comes from the Crafty Animals Challenge.

I started with a panel of Basic White thick card stock stamping the mountains and trees from the Stampin’ Up! Mountain Air Stamp Set.  The mountains are stamped in Smoky Slate ink and the tree are stamped in Garden Green ink. One of the sentiments is from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful World Stamp Set, the other is from the Fabled Friends Stamp Set.

The fox and banner from the Birthday Delivery Stamp Set are stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink and colored using Real Red, Dark Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green, Misty Moonlight, and the Color Lifter  Stampin’ Blends Marker.  The bunny from Fabled Friends is colored in Smoky Slate and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. The birds from Stampin’ Up! High Tide Stamp Set are stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink.

The fawn that the banner is hiding its face and I did not notice until now and the card is gone so I can’t take another picture is from the Stampin’ Up! In The Meadow Stamp Set.  The squirrel is from the Fabled Friends Stamp Set. The portion that forms the double Z and has the fox and bunny popped on it, has been colored with the Blending Brushes using Shaded Spruce ink.  The clumps of grass are from the High Tide Stamp Set and are stamped in Old Olive ink.

Stampin’ Up! Expressions In Ink with Brilliant Wings

Stampin’ Up! Expressions In Ink with Brilliant Wings

Happy Friday, can’t believe it is already here.  Where did the week go?

The card I am sharing today is created using Expressions in Ink DSP, the Ornate Layers Dies, and the Brilliant Wings Dies.  The greeting and sentiment are from the Stampin’ Up! Ornate Thanks Stamp Set.

My inspiration is the challenge from the Tic, Tac Toe Challenge.  I went across the top row Friendship/Sentiment, Die Cut, and Green.

My card base is Basic White card stock with a panel of Basic White card stock layered over it.  The Basic White panel is cropped using the largest die from the Scalloped Contour Dies, it is then embossed using the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder. 

A panel of DSP from the Expressions in Ink DSP is cropped using one of the dies from Ornate Layers Dies, another panel is cropped using a smaller die from Basic White card stock.  A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Ornate Thanks Stamp Set is stamped in Polished Pink ink on the Basic White panel before it is popped on the Expressions in Ink panel.  A Pearl Basic Jewel is popped by the greeting.

The butterfly is cropped from a piece of the Expressions in Ink DSP and popped on the Basic White panel using Mini Glue Dots.

A panel of the Expressions in Ink DSP is cropped using one of the Ornate Layers Dies.  A sentiment from the Ornate Thanks Stamp Set is stamped in Polished Pink ink in the middle of the panel.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Expressions in Ink DSP applied to the envelope flap.
