Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts with Hues of Happiness

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts stamp set, Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds stamp set along with the Fern & Timber 3D Embossing Folders.

The design for my card today is inspired by the Try Stamping On Tuesday Challenge.

I started with a Gorgeous Grape card stock card base .

A panel of Gorgeous Grape card stock is embossed using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. It is then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A panel of Night of Navy card stock is embossed using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. It is then adhered over the Timber embossed panel. A banner is cut from Hues of Happiness DSP and adhered across the Fern embossed panel. I created an oval by drawing and cutting off one end. A greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts stamp set is stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink on the oval and then popped on the card front.

Flowers and leaves are fussy cut from a panel of Hues of Happiness DSP. I know there are dies to crop, but I like the white around the flowers to be small than what cropping creates. They are popped around the oval and greeting using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals. A dot from the Glossy Dots Assortment is popped on the greeting and two more are popped on the upper left.

A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts stamp set is stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink on a Basic White panel. Flowers from the Hues of Happiness DSP are fussy cut and adhered to the lower right corner.

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

Stampin’ Up! Happy HedgeHog and Sweet Songbirds

The card I am sharing today is a combination of two stamp sets, Stampin’ Up! Happy Hedgehogs for the art piece and Stampin’ Up! Sweet Songbirds for the greeting and sentiment. I also used Basic Borders Dies to give a decorative edge to the art piece.

Today, I am entering the Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge — their theme for this challenge is Any Occasion.

My card has many layers today starting with a Bermuda Bay card stock card base, adding a layer of Basic White card stock, a layer of Early Espresso card stock as a mat for the art piece, and a strip of Bermuda Bay card stock cropped using a die from the Basic Borders Dies.

My art piece is watercolored so there are no dark borders showing, I used Sahara Sand ink, stamping off once leaving only a faint outline when stamped. Barely touching the end of a Water Painter to the ink pads I colored the flowers with Daffodil Delight ink, the tree trunk with Early Espresso ink, and the leaves with a mixture of Old Olive and Granny Apple Green ink. The center of the flowers I colored using a Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Marker. The bird is Melon Mambo and Balmy Blue ink.

I colored a length of Pool Party Sheer Ribbon using a Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blends Marker. The ribbon is wrapped around all layers and tied in a knot giving the appearance of a bow. Jewels are popped around the card front and then the layered pieces are adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Sweet Songbirds stamp set is stamped in Night of Navy ink in the upper corner of the art piece.

A panel of Basic White card stock gets a bird from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Hedgehogs stamp set stamped in Sahara Sand ink in the lower corner along with a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Sweet Songbirds Stamp Set also stamped in Sahara Sand ink.

A Basic White medium envelope gets a panel of the Brights 6″ x 6″ DSP adhered to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! He’s All That Anniversary Card

I hope that all the Mothers, Moms, Grandmothers, Nanas, GG’s, or whatever your child, grandchild, or foster child calls you, had a very Happy Mother’s Day.

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! He’s All That stamp set, He’s the Man DSP, and All That Dies.

I am entering my card in the Alphabet Challenge – the theme is C for Cars.

The card starts with a Soft Succulent card stock base with a panel of Evening Evergreen used as a mat for the DSP as the background. I used a white gel pen to mark my center line on the road.

The vehicle is one of the die cuts from the He’s The Man DSP. I popped it on the road using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped a greeting from the Stampin’ Up! He’s All That stamp set on a piece of Basic White card stock, fussy cut the wording so I could place on the card front the way I wanted it. I adhered part at the top on a Crushed Curry star and the remaining part below the car on a Crushed Curry and Evening Evergreen circles. Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots are popped around the card front.

I had a time finding a stamp with the Happy Anniversary sentiment. I stamped it in Evening Evergreen ink on a panel of Basic White card stock adding another die cut from the He’s the Man DSP. The two Crushed Curry flags are cropped with a die from All That Dies. The two dots on the flags are Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of He’s The Man DSP applied to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms Have A Beautiful Day Card

The card I am sharing today is created using two stamp sets that will soon retire, they are the Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms stamp set and the Very Versailles stamp set. The Brick & Mortar Embossing Folder does not show up well on the Bloom Where You Are Planted DSP.

One of my challenges is the Crafty Gals Corner Challenge — Add A Flower

And…

https://creativecrafterschallenge.blogspot.com/2022/03/challenge-50.html – Anything Goes

My card base is Gray Granite card stock. A panel of Basic Black card stock is used as the mat for the Bloom Where You Are Planted DSP. On the panel of DSP I stamped the vine image from the Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles stamp set in Old Olive ink.

I stamped the cherry blossoms from the Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms stamp set on a piece of Blushing Bride card stock using Memento Black ink. Using a Roccoco Rose Stampin’ Blends Marker, I colored the blossoms, next I used a Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Write Marker to color the leaves and stem. After coloring, I cropped using a die from the Cherry Blossom Dies, using the die did not crop the image as close as I would have liked so I fussy cut around it. It is adhered to another panel of the Bloom Where You Are Planted DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, then popped over the card front.

A black knot bow is tied and popped on the blossom stem. A Brushed Brass Butterfly is popped on the blossom petal, several Gray Granite Dots are popped around the card front. A greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles stamp set is stamped in Memento Black ink and cropped using a die from the Ornate Label Dies.

A panel of the Bloom Where You Are Planted DSP is stamped in Old Olive ink with the vine image from the Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles stamp set. Sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Love & Happiness stamp set is stamped in Memento Black ink.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel from the Bloom Where You Are Planted DSP applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Love & Happiness Anniversary Card

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Love & Happiness Stamp Set along with the Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder. Sweet Talk DSP was used for the fussy cut hearts. All of these are new items from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog.

My card design is inspired by the design from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.

My card starts with a Basic Black card stock base with a panel of the same embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder. This panel is matted to a Smoky Slate card stock panel then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Hearts were fussy cut from a panel of the Sweet Talk DSP and matted on Smoky Slate and then Basic Black card stock. Silver thread is wrapped around four fingers several times to create loops, then adhered to the embossed panel. The hearts were then adhered over the silver thread using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Love & Happiness Stamp Set is used to stamp the greeting in Memento Black ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock. It is popped over the bottom of the hearts using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment is another stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Love & Happiness Stamp Set and is stamped in Memento Black ink on a panel of Basic White card stock. Hearts are again fussy cut from a panel of the Sweet Talk DSP and adhered below the sentiment. I masked part of the Happy Anniversary stamp as I only wanted the Happy Anniversary part for my card.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the Sweet Talk DSP adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I can’t believe it has been 5 weeks since I got to create a card. It has taken me a while to get this one made, but I remarked to a friend when I could make a card again, I would know I am on the road to recovery. It may take me two-three days to get one made but it is surely an improvement. I have missed card-making so much. I am sure all will agree there is something about making a card that is soothing to the soul.
