April 2023 – Stampin with Shirley G

Stampin’ Up! Dainty Flowers — with faith…

April 28, 2023 admin

The card I am sharing today is an easy Faux Step Card. I used Stampin’ Up! Dainty Daisies Dies and Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper to create this card.

I am entering Tic, Tac, Toe Challenge. I am choosing the diagonally from left top to right bottom — flowers, yellow, gems.

I am also entering Creative Creases Challenge as my card is a fun fold and their theme is always a fun fold.

My card base is Garden Green card stock. You can see from the diagram above how each piece is cut, scored, and folded. #4 is after the card is put together and the Basic White piece is added for space to sign or write a short note.

This is the panels that are created to add to the step base. Cut two Basic White pieces 2-7/8″ x 4-1/8″, one will be used as a mat for the card front the other will be an art piece on the card back. Cut two Basic White pieces 1-7/8″ x 3-3/8″. These will be mats for the front and back of the short side of the step. Next cut pieces of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper in these sizes. 2-3/4″ x 4″ and 1-3/4″ x 3-1/4″ cut two. You can see from the picture above how they are adhered to each piece of Garden Green using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I die cut daisies from Basic White card stock using a die from Stampin’ Up! Dainty Flowers Dies. The vine is die cut from Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper. The daisy centers are die cut from a piece of Early Espresso card stock. After they are adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals the panels are adhered as you can see below.

This is the way the card looks after the two panel are adhered to the Garden Green step. There are many videos on YouTube for making a faux step card. You can put it in search and find lots of instructional videos.

This is how the back side of the card looks. The greeting and sentiment are from an old retired stamp set, but I thought so appropriate for this card. You can use any greeting and sentiment you choose.

You can see from this side view how each panel adheres to the step base.

A Basic White Medium Envelope gets a piece of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Seaside Bay –Thinking Happy Thoughts…

April 27, 2023 admin

I hope everyone is having a sunny day even if it is raining where you are, as it is here in Georgia today. You can always have a happy day and that will make sunshine in your heart and give you a happy spirit. Give someone your sunny friendly smile today, it maybe the only smile they see the entire day and it will help brighten their rather dreary day. Have a blessed day where ever you maybe and do.

The card I am sharing today is from the Jan – April 2023 Mini Catalog and it carries over to the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog coming May 2, 2023. I have not shared this stamp set very much, so it is good it is carrying over and I will be able to use it until April 30, 2024.

I am entering Tuesday Morning Sketches for this card. Come join the fun challenges are always fun to do.

I started with a Pool Party card stock card base. I added a panel of By The Bay Designer Series Paper matted to a panel of Night of Navy card stock. I adhered this to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut a strip of By The Bay Designer Series Paper 1-1/2″ x 5″ matting on Night of Navy card stock. I adhered this across the card front.

I cut a piece of By the Bay Designer Series for the art piece matting on Night of Navy card stock. I stamped birds from Stampin’ Up! Lets Set Sail stamp set in the upper right corner using Night of Navy ink. I adhered this piece to the card front positioning it over the banner. To this piece I added birds that were either fussy cut from By The Bay Designer Series Paper or stamped in Night of Navy ink using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Seaside Bay stamp set. These birds are popped on the bottom of the art panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Seashells are also fussy cut and popped on the card front. A greeting from Stampin’ Up! On The Farm stamp set is stamped in Night of Navy ink in the left corner. Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels are popped around the card front. This finishes the card front, now on to creating the inside panel to write a note or sentiment.

A panel of By The Bay Designer Series Paper is matted on Night of Navy card stock after having seashells and a bird stamp across the bottom of the panel. The shells are stamped in Crumb Cake ink and the bird is stamped in Night of Navy ink. Even with the design on the panel it is light enough to write a message. This finishes the inside of the card, now on to making sure there is no naked envelope.

A Basic White Medium Envelope gets a piece of By The Bay Designer Series Paper applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Freshly Cut Flowers — Thinking of You

April 26, 2023 admin

A few days ago a team member posted a beautiful card and it reminded me that I had bought this stamp set, never used it and now it is getting ready to retire. I decided I should make at least one card before it is retired. I used Stampin’ Up! Fresh Cut Flowers stamp set, and one of the embossing folders from Basic 3-D Embosssing Folders. Maybe I can get one more made before the retirement date.

I am entering Pammie’s Inky Pinkies Challenge for this card.

I started by embossing a panel of Basic White card stock using an embossing folder from Basic 3-D Stampin’ Folders. I adhered this panel to a Basic White card stock card base. I cut a strip of Poppy Parade card stock and a strip of Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper adhered down the left side of the embossed panel.

I stamped flowers from Stampin’ Up Fresh Cut Flowers stamp set on a piece of Basic White card stock, coloring using Poppy Parade, Bermuda Bay, and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. After coloring I embossed the piece using the same embossing folder as using on the card front. The piece is matted on a piece of Poppy Parade card stock and popped on the card front over the Poppy Parade and Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper strips. A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Thistle stamp set is stamped on a scrap of Basic White card stock in Tuxedo Memento Black ink. It is then die cut using a die from Stitched Rectangle Dies (soon to be retired). A few loops of Gray Linen Thread is added behind the greeting and it is popped on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I colored pearls from Pearl Basic Jewels using a Dark Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Marker. I popped these around the card front and on the inside as you can see in the next photo.

A panel of Basic White card stock get flowers from Stampin’ Up! Fresh Cut Flowers stamp set stamped in the upper right corner using Tuxedo Memento Black ink. The flowers are colored using Poppy Parade, Bermuda Bay, and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. A panel of Poppy Parade card stock is used as a mat for the Basic White panel. The panel is adhered to the Poppy Parade card stock mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Two Pearl Basic Jewels colored with a Dark Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Marker are popped on the panel around the flowers.

A Basic White Medium Envelope gets a piece of Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies — Thinking of You

April 24, 2023 admin

The card I am sharing today is created using a new Designer Series Paper that will be available to customer May 2. The Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper is doing all the work in creating this. It is a beautiful paper.

I am entering Try Stamping on Tuesday Challenge for today’s card.

My card base is Basic White card stock. I adhered a panel of Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper over the card front. I added two strips of Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper toward the bottom of the card front. To the blue one I added a scalloped strip using a die from Penned Flowers Dies. I adhered the panel and strips using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I die cut the big daisy from Cheerful Daisies Dies in Basic White card stock and the medium one from a piece of the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper.

I used a panel of Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper for the inside panel. There is ample room for a note even with the daisies at the bottom of the panel.
