Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms with Grace’s Garden

Happy sunny Saturday or I hope it is sunny where you are!

The card I am sharing today is another made using Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms. I have also used the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder and the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

Inspiration for my challenge today is from Addicted to Stamps and More — theme this week is Make Your Mark.

And Little Red Wagon Challenge — their theme is flowers

I started with a Basic White card stock base with a panel of the same embossed using the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder, then adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the card base.

A panel of the Hand Penned DSP is cropped using an Ornate Frames Die and adhered over the embossed panel. Blossoms from the Forever Blossom Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a Basic White card stock panel then cropped using a Stitched So Sweetly Die. The blossoms are colored using Melon Mambo ink and alcohol. I mixed the two together and then used extra alcohol to get the right color of pink. I used a Stampin’ Blends Color Blender marker that no longer worked to add the ink to the blossoms. The leaves are colored using a Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Marker.

The blossoms are also stamped on the top of the inside panel leaving ample space for a note of birthday wishes, thinking of you, sympathy, or any type of note.

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

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow

Terrific Tuesday everyone, hope your day is going fantastic with no glitches.

The card I am sharing today is the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Stamp Set along with the Scalloped Contours Dies and the Stitched With Whimsy Dies.

The inspiration today is from Make My Monday – theme Floral Birthday. I made a bouquet of flowers with a ribbon around it. The happy birthday sentiment is inside. I always like to put something other than Happy Birthday on the card front so the person receiving is surprised as to what kind of card I am sending. I like to put “Thinking of You” or “Hello” on the front.

This was a quick and simple card to make as everything is created using Basic White card stock. The base has a panel of the card stock embossed using the Subtle Embossing Folder adhered to the front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. A panel of the Basic White card stock is cropped using the Scalloped Contour Dies, I believe this is the largest one, it is then embossed using the Stitched With Whimsy Dies. This panel is popped on with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Before the Scalloped Contour panel is popped on a greeting from the Shaded Summer Stamp Set is stamped in Balmy Blue ink. A bunch of flowers is stamped using Smoky Slate ink in the middle of the panel. Another bunch is stamped and fussy cut and then popped on each side of the bunch stamped on the Basic White panel. All the flowers are colored using Balmy Blue and Granny Apple Green ink. The Blushing Bride twine I used to make a bow is from a Paper Pumpkin Kit. It is popped on with a Glue Dot. Three Pearl Basic Jewels are placed around the card front.

A panel of Basic White card stock is cropped using the Scalloped Contour largest die and the sentiment from the Shaded Summer Stamp Set and the Tranquil Thoughts Stamp Set, soon to be retired, is stamped in Balmy Blue ink.

A medium Basic White envelope gets embossed on the envelope flap using the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder.

Stampin’ Up! You’re A Peach

Happy Thursday, I hope your day has been super. These days my blogs are later in the day, I have nurse duty during the day and once home I can create a card and blog.

The card I am sharing today, is made with the skills I learned in kindergarten, you know cut & paste. The only exception is the greeting from the Happy Birthday Chick Stamp Set. I’ve use You’re A Peach and Beauty of The Earth DSP to create this card.

My inspiration design comes from the Tuesday Morning Sketches.

The card base is Pear Pizzazz with a mat of Calypso Coral for the Beauty of the Earth DSP panel. A panel of the You’re A Peach DSP is matted on a panel of Calypso Coral card stock and popped over the Beauty of the Earth DSP panel. A length of Pale Papaya & White ribbon is wrapped all the panels once they were adhered to each other.

Peach blossoms are fussy cut and popped over several of the blossoms on the You’re a Peach DSP panel. Three were cropped using a small circle die, then fussy cut blossoms were popped over the ones on the circles. These were popped just under the edge of the ribbon using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Happy Birthday is stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink on a scrap of Pear Pizzazz card stock and flagged on one end and popped over the ribbon using Glue Dots.

A strip of the You’re A Peach DSP is fussy cut and adhered to the bottom of a Basic White card stock panel, then the panel is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Glue.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the You’re A Peach DSP applied to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Pampered Pets

Happy Day!

I get to spend the day with my son who has been in the hospital for two weeks. We were not allowed to visit during that time. It is terrible to have someone in the hospital and not get to visit. Happy he is home so that we can visit.

I am sharing the Pampered Pets Stamp Set with you today. I am happy it carried over to the new catalog because this is the first time I have used the stamp set. I’ve used the DSP to make cards before but not the stamp set.

A Printed Label Dies is used to crop a Real Red and Basic White circle. The red and white are adhered together and popped on the card front over the bands.

A dog is fussy cut from one of the panel of the Playful Pets DSP and then popped over the red circle.

My design inspiration comes compliments of the Fusion Card Challenge. I used the design on the left and a dog but no thank you as this is a birthday card for a special person.

I started with a Basic White card stock base adding a panel of Real Red card stock for the mat to the Playful Pets DSP. Two strips of DSP are matted onto Real Red card stock and Basic White card stock and adhered across the card front like a band. A greeting from the Pampered Pets Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock. It is then cropped using one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies. Using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue it is popped on the card front below the circle. A red Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewel is adhered to the greeting panel.

A panel of the Playful Pets DSP is cropped using one of the dies from the Curvy Dies, it is then adhered to a panel of Basic White card stock and a sentiment from the Quite Curvy Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink below the cropped panel.

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

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow

I hope your day is going well. It looks to be a great one.

The card I am sharing today is created using one of the new stamp sets Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow, available May 4 to customers. It is definitely going to be loved by all for all occasions. It reminds me of the Butterfly Basic set from a few years ago. I loved that set. This one does have the butterfly, but you can add a butterfly from one of the butterfly stamp sets Stampin’ Up! has. There are several to choose from.

This is one of my challenges for the day, Try Stampin’ On Tuesday. They always have such great sketches to help your card making along.

And Watercooler Wednesday – Dawn’s Challenge: All About Occasions. This is a birthday card and I like to put Thinking of You as the greeting so I can say Happy Birthday when I write a note inside.

I started with a card base of Highland Heather, adding a panel from the Hand Penned DSP (available May 4 to customers) that has been matted on a panel of Basic Black card stock.

Another piece of the Hand Penned DSP is used to cut the strip down the middle. This strip is also matted on a panel of Basic Black card stock.

An oval is cropped from a panel of Basic White card stock using the largest die from the Stitched Shape Dies, retiring May 4. The largest flower image from the Quiet Meadow Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on this oval. It is then colored using Dark & Light Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blends Markers, retiring May 4, so if you like this color the way I do you need to stock up before the supply is gone. and Dark & Light Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends Markers.

The art piece is matted using Basic Black card stock, then popped over the center of the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting from the stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock, fussy cut, then matted on a Basic Black scrap which is also fussy cut and popped on the bottom of the art piece. Three jewels from the 2021-2023 Incolor Jewels are popped around the card front. Looking at the card you will assume the jewels are Basic Pearls, but they are the jewels from the 2021-2023 Incolor Jewels.

A narrow strip of the Hand Penned DSP is adhered down the side of a Basic White card stock panel and adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the card inside for writing a birthday message.

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