Happy Day! Love What You Do

Happy Day! Love What You Do

Since the Share What You Love DSP is retiring, I am trying to get it used up so you may see it every day for a while.  My card is created with it and the coordinating stamp set, Love What You Do which is not retiring (I’m so happy).

My inspiration comes from the sketch challenge at Fab Friday Stampin Challenge.       

 

My card starts with a Rich Razzleberry card stock base.  This is a color I rarely use, but after creating this card, I have a feeling it will find more use.  You will probably see it more since I am trying to use up the Share What You Love DSP before time is gone to use it.  Maybe I will start posting two cards a day. A panel of the Share What You Love DSP is used as a background piece.  The art piece is from the Love What You Do stamp set and is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock that has been cut using the Rectangle Stitched Dies.   The leaves are stamped in Old Olive ink.  A Light Rich Razzleberry Blends was used in coloring the flowers along with the Color Lifter.   I discovered that my Color  Lifer was dry out and I had not even used it before, so I poured a bit of alcohol in a bottle cap and dipped the pen in it.  It worked great.  HomeThe butterflies were cut using the Butterfly Beauty Thinlits Dies.  I used scraps from the Share What You Love DSP for cutting.    I used a Fine Tip Glue Pen to dab just a drop of glue to the center of each butterfly.  Pearls from the Basic Jewels Pearls were added to the butterfly bodies and various other places on the art piece. Two different strips of card stock were cut to be placed behind the art piece.  The Share What You Love DSP strip is clipped on one end to make it a banner.  The other is a bit of Blackberry Bliss, I mistakenly put used it instead of Rich Razzleberry.  Guess I need to make sure each color is in the proper folder.  The art piece has a Rich Razzleberry mat, you would think I would have noticed that when I put the two short strips behind the art piece.  The art piece is popped on using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The inside sentiment is from the Incredible Like You stamp set (retiring June 3) and is stamped in Rich Razzleberry ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock.  I masked off some of the words to say what I wanted.

 Share What You Love DSP is used on the flap of the envelope so it will match the card front.

Thanks for stopping by today,  I hope you like and can find a bit of inspiration as I did in creating this card.  I saw a similar card on Pinterest and happy I remembered what I could.  It was a beautiful card, I should have saved it but must have gotten side-tracked and didn’t and when I try it again, I could not find, so if you know the person who has a similar card please let me know so I can give credit to that person.

Magnolia Lane

Magnolia Lane

My card today is made from the Magnolia Lane Memories and More card pack and the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper.  

My sketch design is from the Tuesday Morning Sketches.     

My card base is Basic Black with mats of Whisper White and a Mossy Meadow one cut from one of the cards in the  Magnolia Lane Memories and More card pack (available to customers June 4).  These are adhered together and then onto the card base using Liquid Glue. The vertical panel with the magnolias is from the Magnolia Lane DSP. This piece is matted using Whisper White card stock and popped over the Mossy Meadow panel. The two short pieces of ribbon are cut from the Scalloped Lace Ribbon (available June 4 to customers). These short pieces of lace are given a Mossy Meadow mat so the beauty of the lace can be seen so much better.  They are adhered to the Mossy Meadow mat using Glue Dots and then are popped on the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting is one of the stickers from the  Magnolia Lane  Memories and More card pack. It, too, is matted on a small piece of Mossy Meadow card stock. The large magnolia fussy cut from a panel of the Magnolia Lane DSP is popped on the Whisper White circle cut using the Layering Circle Dies.  The circle and the magnolia are both popped on using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The inside sentiment is a panel from the Magnolia  Lane Memories and More card pack as is the mat for it. 

 Magnolia Lane DSP is used on the envelope flap so it will match the card.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you like my card and find inspiration for your own creations.

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew May Blog Hop

Welcome to the May blog hop of Amy’s Inkin’ Krew.  We are so glad you are here because you are going to see some great project that have been created.   I hope you enjoy all the ideas and our blog hop.  Our theme for this month is “Masculine” and we are free to interpret that any way that we like.  You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Krew member’s blog.  You will find the full line-up below to help you hop along from Krew member to Krew member.   On we go…

My card is created from the Let it Ride stamp set.  I am so happy this stamp set is carrying over.  

My sketch design is from Fusion Card Challenge.

  As you can see from the sketch this is an easy card to create.  The card base is Cajun Craze card stock with a mat from the Wood Texture   6″ x 6″ DSP (retiring June 3)  here’s hoping that it will return in a later catalog because of so many people like using it. A panel of Crumb Cake is embossed using the Pinewood Plank Embossing. Folder and I am so happy it will be returning in the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalog.  It is adhered using Liquid Glue. A 1-1/2″ strip from the Wood Texture DSP is cut and the art image is stamped on it.  The image is from the Let It Ride stamp set.  The horses are stamped in Early Espresso ink and the trees in Mossy Meadow ink.  This strip is then matted on a dark panel from the Wood Texture DSP and Old Olive Linen Thread is wrapped around the panel.  This is popped onto the Pinewood Plank panel using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The greeting from Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on a Very Vanilla circle that has been cut using the Layering Stitched Circle Dies. The Very Vanilla Circle has been matted on a small scrap of Wood Texture DSP that the larger circle is cut.  

The inside sentiment from the Humming Along stamp set is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on a Very Vanilla panel of card stock.  The trees in the corner are from the Let It Ride stamp set and are stamped in Mossy Meadow ink that has been stamped off once.  The panel is adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you like my card and find encouragement from it.  Click on the Next icon below and it will take you to Sue Prather’s blog or if you would like to go back you can click on the Previous icon it will take you back to Akiko Sudano’s blog… as each Krew Member is listed individually below you can click on any one of them and go to that Krew member’s blog.  I know you will find much inspiration for your own creations from all these talented ladies.  Happy Stampin’ after seeing them all!

Free As A Bird

Free As A Bird

 I just love this Designer Series Paper and stamp set.  It will be available to customers June 4.  It is the magnificent Free As A Bird stamp set and Bird Ballad DSP.  Don’t you just love, love, love it?

The sketch for my card is from the   Case This Sketch Challenge 

And…  Watercooler Wednesday’s Kath’s “All About Occasions” Challenge.      

The birds on this turned out so good.  Don’t you think they look like they are chatting and the one looks like he is crowding in so he can say something?  The card base is Calypso Coral and the mat for the panel of feathers that became the focal panel is Basic Black.

A one-inch strip of Basic Black card stock is also adhered across the bottom of the feather panel.  This is used as a base for all the birds fussy cut from a panel of Bird Ballad DSP.  The birds were arranged in the order you see and then popped on with Glue Dots.  I found it easier to arrange first and then glue so I would not have to be trying to pull a Glue Dot loose. 

Two lengths of Linen Thread are wrapped around the feather panel and tied in a bow.  The greeting from the Free As A Bird stamp set is stamped in Calypso Coral in on a scrap of Whisper White card stock and then punched out using the Tailored Tag Punch (retiring June 3).  The greeting is popped over the Linen Thread using Stampin Dimensionals.  Three Basic Adhesive Backed Sequins are popped in several spots on the card front.

The sentiment is stamped in Calypso Coral ink on a panel of Whisper White that has a Basic Black mat.  A bird from the fussy cut batch I cut out is adhered in the right corner using Glue Dots.

An envelope flap is covered with the feather panel from the Bird Ballad DSP so you will have a matching envelope for your card.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you liked my card and that you can find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.  Have a blessed day!

A Little Lace 2

A Little Lace 2

This is so easy to create.  I CASEd this A Little Lace card from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, page 42.  After making this card I decided that it really isn’t me, but it was easy to create and is a cute card just a bit plain for me and would be great for a beginning stamper.

The sketch design is from Tuesday Morning Sketches.   

This is practically a one layer card.  There is only the card base and the one lacy panel from the Stitched Lace Dies.  The greeting from A Little Lace stamp set is stamped in Versa Mark and then heat embossed using White Stampin’ Embossing Powder.

The three red hearts are from the A Little Lace stamp set and is stamped in Real Red ink on scraps of Real Red card stock and then fussy cut.  I cut three hearts for each set to give them a bit of dimension.  A length of Linen Thread has been laced through the holes in the lace panel and then the red hearts are popped over each spot.  The thread is then wrapped around the panel twice and tied in a bow.  Three Rhinestone Basic Jewels are popped in three different spots on the panel.

A heart is stamped in Real Red ink on the envelope flap and on the card front.

The inside sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set is stamped in Tranquil Tide Ink on a panel of Whisper White.  Three Real Red hearts have been stamped on the panel also.  The panel is then adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue.

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you give this stamp set a try.  I really like the lace die, you will probably see it on other cards.  Have a blessed day!
