Stampin’ Up! Cottage Bouquet Thinking of You

Stampin’ Up! Cottage Bouquet Thinking of You

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Cottage Bouquet stamp set, Stampin’ Up! Potted Geraniums stamp set for one of the sentiments, Stampin’ Up! This Birthday Piggy for the greeting, Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets for one of the sentiments, and Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch for the last sentiment.  Usually, if I find a card I like on Pinterest or other places, I will save the card, but the one I saw that had this Designer Series Paper, I forgot to save and have been unable to find it to give the person credit for using the same Designer Series Paper and hearts.  I am sure I will come across it some time, things have a way of showing up on the internet long after you have seen them.

I am barely making this challenge, but happy I made it. It is the Sunday Stamps Challenge and their theme for this challenge is Let’s Celebrate.  I always like challenge that include hearts, as I used to have quite a collection of hearts collected over the years. 

I started with a Blushing Bride card stock card base. I know Petal Pink is the color listed on the pack of Designer Series Paper, but I think the Blushing Bride card stock goes best with this panel of the Texture Chic Designer Series Paper.  I cut a panel of the Texture Chic Designer Series Paper and matted it on strips of Gold Fold as I only had a small piece of the Gold Foil, but it worked and the mat looks great.

I added the Texture Chic Designer Series Paper to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I then added a strip of the same Designer Series Paper but in a different pattern on the card front.  I stamped hearts on Blushing Bride card stock and a different pattern of the Designer Series Paper.   I sprinkled Gold Embossing Powder over the Versa Mark ink and heat embossed using my heat tool. I fussy cut the hearts even though I have the punch using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Cottage Bouquet stamp set and Versa Mark ink. These hearts are popped over the Texture Chic Designer Series Paper strip using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue. 

I popped three Fine Sparkle Adhesive Backed Gems on the card front.  I stamped a greeting from Stampin’ Up! This Birthday Piggy on a label that comes in the Season of Chic Memories & More Card Pack. I wrapped two loops of Linen Thread around and placed the greeting label over it using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A panel of Texture Chic Designer Series Paper is applied to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  A panel of Basic White card stock gets sentiments from Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets stamp set, Stampin’ Up! Potted Geranium stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch stamp set stamped in Pool Party and Blushing Bride inks. The Basic White panel gets applied over the Texture Chic Designer Series Paper using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Everyone have a great weekend.  I think the sun may shine here.  It has been a beautiful day here today and though I live in Georgia, the sky is Carolina blue as my FIL always said.  Maybe all the sunshine will help this horrible Bronchitis with this lovely cough.  I am never sick, only life-threatening things happen to me, but recently Shingles and now Bronchitis.  I must not be drinking my daily ritual of vinegar & pineapple juice is all I can think.

Stampin’ Up! Queen Bee Blessings of Home

Stampin’ Up! Queen Bee Blessings of Home

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Blessings of Home Stamp Set, Memories & More Card Pack, Stampin’ Up! Queen Bee stamp set and dies, along with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder

I am entering Seize The Birthday Challenge with the option of Winged Things.  I believe my Queen Bee is a great winged thing.  Wait till you see her she is beautiful.

I am also joining Creative Creases Challenge as my card is a fun fold..

This is the diagram for cutting and scoring the card base.

The picture above also shows how the card base looks once it is scored and cut.  The card base is Basic White card stock with panels of Blackberry Bliss for the mats.  This card is all one piece, you use a full sheet of card stock. Score on the long at short side both down the middle — long side 5-1/2″ — short side 4-1/4″. Cut on the 5-1/2″ scoreline cutting 1/2″ beyond the center scoreline.  Turn card stock around and cut 1/2″ off the other side. 

To the front flap after all the elements are added, add a Blackberry Bliss mat embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Timeworn Type 3-D Embossing Folder then a card of your choosing from the Stampin’ Up! Heart & Home Memories & More Card Pack.  It will fit over the Blackberry Bliss mat perfectly. Stamp a greeting from the Stampin’ Up! By My Side Stamp Set in Blackberry Bliss ink on the woodgrain portion.  Emboss this piece using the Timber 3-D Embossing Folder. Add a length of Blackberry Bliss Ribbon between the greeting and the art piece.  Attach to the flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside of the card, the Basic White panels are matted in Blackberry Bliss and adhered to the card base after all the sentiments, flowers, and the Queen Bee are added.  The flowers on the right are stamped with a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Queen Bee stamp set and colored in Fresh Freesia and Granny Apple Stampin’ Blends Markers.  The Queen Bee is stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink and the flowers and leaves are colored using Fresh Freesia and Granny Apple Stampin’ Blends MarkersBrushed Metallic Butterflies are popped around the two panels.  The sentiments are from several Stampin’ Up! stamp sets.  You can use whatever sentiments you prefer.

A  Basic White medium envelopes get a panel of Heart & Home Designer Series Paper added to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets, Chic Dies with Summer Shadow

Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets, Chic Dies with Summer Shadow

I created a simple card that I am sharing today.  This card is created using a card from Stampin’ Up! Texture Chic Memories & More Card Pack.  It really does all the work.  I added a few leaf and flower outlines.  The die that cropped the leaf outlines is from Stampin’ Up! Chic Dies, while the flower outlines are from Stampin’ Up! Summer Shadow Dies.  I cropped them from Basic White card stock and Evening Evergreen card stock.  See how simple it is, I only needed one paragraph to give you instructions for making the card front.  The word love on the card is pre-printed so to give it a little more sparkle, I used a Wink of Stella pen.

I am entering the NBUS Challenge.  I think we all buy things for card making and put them on the shelf or drawer, intending to use. I happened up a Stampin’ Up! Memories & More card pack and decided to use one of them to create this card.

The leaf and flower outlines I cropped are adhered over the flowers and leaves on the card.   The outlines make the flowers and leaves pop more.  Several Brushed Metallic Butterflies are scattered around the card front.

I stamped a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink on the Basic White panel that has been matted on a panel of Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper. I also cropped flowers and leaves from Evening Evergreen card stock and adhered to the corners of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Three Brushed Metallic Butterflies are also popped on the panel of Basic White card stock.

 

Basic White medium envelopes get a panel of Texture Chic Designer Series Paper added to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer Hello There

Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer Hello There

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer stamp set and Texture Chic Designer Series Paper.  This is a really pretty card in person, the pictures do not show that to be the case.  A little disappointed how the pictures turned out, after giving three tries I gave up.

My card base is Pool Party card stock with a mat of Petal Pink for the Texture Chic Designer Series Paper.  The flowers from Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer stamp set are stamped in Versa Mark ink and embossed using Gold Stampin’ Embossing Powder.  Several of the pictures doesn’t show the gold very well, it looks like it has been stamped in black ink.  I colored the flowers using Petal Pink, Pool Party, and Old Olive Stamping’ Blends Markers.

There are two sentiments, one on the top panel of the card base and one on the bottom panel.  The flowers are stamped in Versa Mark ink and heat embossed using Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder.  The flowers are colored using Pool Party, Petal Pink, and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I have created a collage so you can see how difficult it is to phone gold embossing.

Basic White medium envelopes get a panel of Texture Chic Designer Series Paper added to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight – Celebrate You

My card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight stamp set, along with Dainty Delight Dies, Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper, and Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.

I am entering Pammie’s Inkie Pinkies Challenge. Their theme is Anything Goes except the 5th Monday.

I started with a card base of Basic White card stock, adding a panel of Starry Sky card stock which becomes the mat for the panel of Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper which is the background for the art piece.

The art piece is a different pattern from the Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper.  I fussy cut two daisies from a piece of the Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper and popped over the flowers on the art piece using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I cropped one daisy from a piece of Crushed Curry card stock and popped it on the card front also.  

A Linen Thread bow is made and popped on the flower stem.  A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight stamp set is stamped in Starry Sky ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock, matted on scraps of Crushed Curry and Starry Sky card stock, and popped on the card front using Stampin’ DimensionalsIridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels are scattered around the card front.

A  panel of Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper is matted on a panel of Starry Sky card stock, a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight stamp set is stamped in Starry Sky ink onto the panel and the panel is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
