Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Thinking of You

Happy day after the July 4th Independence Day Celebration. I hope everyone had fun–and food–fun with family and friends. As for me, my heart and BP kept me great company. I had to call my doctor and he was getting ready to run the Peachtree Road Race. I’m surprised he heard the phone with all the noise I could hear in the background. Happy I have a doctor, I can call any time, anywhere on his cell phone and he answers. Called him once and he was in Peru.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Stamp Bundle along with a die from the Ornate Layers Dies.

My challenge for today is with The Sisterhood of Crafter — their theme for this challenge is Anything Goes.

I started with a Basic White card stock base. A panel of black and white strips is matted on a panel of Crushed Curry card stock and adhered to one side of the card front. A panel of Basic White card stock is cropped using one of the Ornate Layers Dies, then adhered over the black and white panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A flower is cropped from Basic White card stock using the Meadow Dies. The top part of the die is used to crop the flowers from a piece of the Ombre Specialty paper, it is adhered over the Basic White flowers. The stem and leaves are colored using a Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Marker.

Black Mat Dots are popped on the center of the flowers and around the Basic White ornate panel after the flowers are adhered to the panel. The greeting is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a small rectangle of Basic White card stock and tucked under the Ornate panel.

A panel of Basic White card stock gets flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow stamp set. They are colored using So Saffron and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers.

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

Stampin’ Up! Pansy Dies Hello You Card

Happy 4th of July weekend. Do you have fun plans — picnic with lemonade, potato salad, fried chicken, strawberry cake, and watermelon. Growing up this was our typical 4th menu. The watermelon went in the creek to get cold while we ate lunch, later in the afternoon you got the watermelon which was always such a treat as a kid. Of course no ice for the lemonade, so when I order lemonade at Chick-Fil-A — no ice–now days, Chick-Fil-A can provide the chicken and lemonade, Publix the potato salad, and watermelon.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Pansy Dies and a greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer Stamp Set.

My inspiration is the sketch from the Fusion Card Challenge.

My card base is Soft Succulent card stock with a panel of the Evening Evergreen adhered to the base to become the mat for the Soft Succulent check panel. Also, cut another panel from a different DSP to create the banner across the top of the check pieces.

Crop pansy petals and leaves from a panel of Thick Basic White card stock. Color using a blending brush and Pale Papya ink and Evening Evergreen ink. Use Calypso Coral to outline the edges of the petals. Color the center of the pansy using a Black Stampin’ Blends Marker.

Another pansy is cropped and colored for the inside panel on which the note will be written. It can be a birthday note for happy birthday, thinking of you, anniversary, sympathy, or whatever kind of note you want.

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

Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Friendship

Happy Friday, I think I just realized that I was a day ahead when I posted Thursday’s post. I was thinking today was Friday and it seemed that way all day. Do you have fun plans to celebrate July 4th? Do you and your family always go watch the fireworks? Fireworks are ok, but terrify babies, small children and dogs.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Friends of Friendship Stamp Set along with the Beauty of Friendship for the greeting and one of the sentiments. The other sentiment comes from the Stampin’ Up! Better Places Stamp Set. My card is a CAS(E) of one Amy Koender created.

My design for this challenge comes from the Paper Players Challenge.

The card base is Basic White card stock with a panel of Hand Penned DSP as the background for another panel of the same DSP.

Flowers from the Flowers of Friendship Stamp Set are stamped using Tuxedo Memento Black ink on Basic White card stock. The flowers and leaves are colored using Highland Heather, Polished Pink, and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. After I had fussy cut the flowers and leaves, I remembered there is a punch that goes with the stamp set. Guess I needed to practice my kindergarten skills. The greeting is from the Beauty of Friendship Stamp Set and is stamped on a cropped circle using Soft Succulent ink. The flowers are then arranged around the greeting using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Mini Glue Dots. Elegant Faceted Gems are popped in the center of each flower and two others popped around the flowers.

The sentiments from Flowers of Friendship and Better Places Stamp Sets are stamped in Soft Succulent ink on the Basic White panel. A different flower from the Flowers of Friendship Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink and colored using Highland Heather and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers.

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

Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms

Happy Friday, have a great weekend!

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms and Free As A Bird Stamp Sets.

My design inspiration is from the Sunday Stamps Challenge.

The card base is Basic White card stock with a panel of DSP from the Pattern Party DSP as the background. These two patterns go together rather well.

Stamp blossoms from the Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Free As A Bird Stamp Set using Tuxedo Memento Black ink and Basic White card stock. Color the flowers and leaves with Fresh Freesia and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Dimensionals. After coloring, apply a Wink of Stella to each blossom. Fussy cut all the blossoms and leaves. Butterflies are from my stash of cutouts, I believe these are from the Butterfly Bijou DSP, long retired.

Crop a panel of Basic White using a Stitched So Sweetly Die, stamp a greeting from Free As A Bird Stamp Set in Tuxedo Memento Black ink, pop this on the middle of the card front and arrange the blossoms and butterflies around the edge of the cropped piece.

The sentiment panel has two blossoms adhered to the corners.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Pattern Party 12″ x 12″ DSP applied to the envelope flap. This pattern goes with the card very well.
