Love What You Do!

Love What You Do!

I used the Love What You Do stamp set in creating this card along with Dragonfly Dreams and Birthday Cheer.  I love the way this card turned out. 

The colors are from the FabFri 162 Challenge.

 


This turned out to be an easy card to create.  There is the Blushing Bride card base and the Follow Your Art DSP trimmed using Poppy Parade cut using the Delicate Lace Edgelits.

This Coastal Cabana panel of Follow Your Art DSP makes a great background piece.  It looks as if it has been watercolored.  The Poppy Parade poppies were stamped using Poppy Parade Ink and then colored using the Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends.  The Petal Pink poppies were stamped with Tuxedo Memento Black Ink that was stamped off once and then colored using the Light and Dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends.  The stems are Pool Party Stampin’ Write Marker.

The bow is created using Whisper White Baker’s Twine that has been colored by running the Twine through the Pool Party ink pad.  I spoke with DS at Stampin’ Up! because the Twine looks too dark and she said that each medium would have a different shade or hue to it, guess I will have to be satisfied with her answer and realize I won’t get the exact color.

The greeting from Dragonfly Dreams is stamped in Poppy Parade ink on a strip of Whisper White.  It is popped on the focal panel using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Pool Party on a panel of Whisper White that has the poppies from Love What You Do stamp set stamped in Pool Party ink also.

To match the card, the flap of an envelope is covered with a portion of the Coastal Cabana panel from the Follow Your Art DSP.

Thanks for stopping by today!  My wish is that you have a blessed day!

Magnolia Lane

Magnolia Lane

A busy time at our house right now.  It is the month of May and every weekend in May is full up with Graduation,  Graduation, Wedding Showers, Graduation!  Did I happen to say we are having Graduations?  What does all that equal?  Money!!!

My card is created using the Magnolia Lane DSP.  It made a beautiful card but lots, and lots of fussy cutting.  Wish there had been a die that fit the flowers I cut.

My sketch design is from the Paper Players

Soft Sea Foam card stock is used as the card base.  Next a panel of Mossy Meadow card stock is embossed using the Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder.  This panel has Whisper White latticework  from the Wonderful Romance stamp set in both directions — horizontal and vertical —

The flowers are fussy cut from a panel of Magnolia Lane DSP.  I have adhered them to a Whisper White circle to make all the small pieces more stable before popping on the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Three Basic Adhesive Back Sequins are popped in various spots on the card front.  The greeting stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on a scrap of Whisper White card stock and then cut out in the shape of the stamp.

The sentiment is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on a panel of Whisper White that has a strip of the Magnolia Lane DSP adhered to the left side that has been matted using Petal Pink card stock.  The Whisper White panel has a Mossy Meadow panel.

Thanks for stopping by today!  My hope is that you have a blessed day!

Sailing Home Come Sail Away

Sailing Home Come Sail Away

I am sharing a peek at another of the beautiful products that will be available June 4.  This stamp set is going to be one that will become a favorite of many.

I am playing along with Seize the Birthday for today!  The topping is Texture.

And…  Craftyhazelnut’s Patterned Paper Challenge.   

My card is simple but makes a great birthday card.  I started with a Night of Navy card base. I cut a panel of Soft Suede and adhered two different panels of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the Come Sail Away DSP that will be available June 4 when the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalog is released to customers. This stamp suite comes with a Come Sail Away Memories and More Card Pack. This card pack has several sheets of stickers, one of the sticker is a rope, I used it to make the division between the two Designer Series Paper panels.

I used another of the Come Sail Away Memories and More Card Pack for the focal panel on my card.  It is the lighthouse.  You will want to order this card pack when you are able to place your order.  It can be used for creating so many cards and adding to a card you have already stamped.  One of the Come Sail Away Trinkets is used and is adhered against the lighthouse using Glue Dots.  The two focal panels of DSP are adhered to the Soft Suede mat which is then popped onto the Night of Navy card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The lighthouse panel stamped with the Happy Birthday greeting is from the soon retiring Vertical Greeting stamp set and is also popped on using Stamping Dimensionals.  As I wanted Happy on one side of the card and Birthday on the other, I only stamped the portion that I was wanting to stamp at the time. That finishes the card front.

The inside sentiment stamped in Night of Navy ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock is from the Postcard Pals stamp set and it also will soon be retiring.  I have used the sentiments in this stamp set a lot the past year so I will miss this little stamp set.  The panel is adhered to a Soft Suede mat and then adhered to the Night of Navy card base.  Stickers from the Come Sail Away Memories and More Card Pack are adhered to the sentiment panel.

Thanks for taking a look today!  I hope you like what you saw and that you get encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.  Have a blessed day and evening!

Good Morning Magnolia

Good Morning Magnolia

This is the magnolias from a sheet of the Magnolia Lane Memories and More Card Pack. This is a sheet of vellum with magnolias on it.  I fussy cut them all to make the oval, I guess you would call it, although the label with the Thinking of You stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink is from the new Stitched Nested Label Dies (available June 4) and they are not oval.

My sketch inspiration and color come from the Double D Black and White Challenge

I enjoy doing black and white cards.  They are so cool and serene looking.

The card is very easy.  Make a Basic Black card base, then cut a panel of Whisper White card stock and using the Stitched Nested Label Die cut the center of the card out.  Adhere the Whisper White panel to the Basic Black base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stamp the greeting on the Stitched Nested Label using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink then place it back into the spot on the card from where it was cut.  Arrange the magnolias around the label.  Add 5 Basic Rhinestone Jewels on the card front and your card front is finished.

The inside sentiment is from the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set, Itty Bitty Birthday and Piece of Cake.  I masked part of the sentiment from the Good Morning Magnolia as I only wanted the first two line.  A magnolia is stamped in the corner of the sentiment panel so it will not look so plain and empty.

Thank you for stopping by today, I hope you like my card and find encouragement, inspiration or both for your own creations.  Have a blessed day.

It’s Your Day

It’s Your Day

I love this DSP and d that it is on the Retiring List.  It is the beautiful Petal Promenade DSP.  I can’t seem to stop making cards using it.

I have flowers so that makes it possible for me to play along with the challenge at Cute Card Thursday.  

And… the Seize the Birthday.

 

The card base is Blackberry Bliss card stock.  The mat and focal panel is half Whisper White card stock that has been embossed using the Pinewood Plank Embossing Folder and the other half is from the Petal Promenade DSP.  The greeting is from the Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set.

Two of the flowers are stamped on Whisper White Thick card stock using Flirty Flamingo and Melon Mambo ink. First I stamped Flirty Flamingo and then stamped Melon Mambo over it to get the color you see.  The other flower is stamped on a piece of photo paper.  There was a package of photo paper in my recent purchase of an ink cartridge for my printer and I wondered what to do with it.  When stamping these flowers, I thought wonder how it would look on the shiny photo paper.  It turned out great, so here is the flower stamped in Fresh Fig ink.

 The leaves are stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on Whisper White Thick card stock.  The flowers and leaves were cut using the coordinating dies for the stamp set.  After stamping and cutting out I popped them on the divider of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Three pearls from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls is scattered over the card front.

The sentiment is stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock using a stamp from the Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set.

Petal Promenade is added to an envelope flap to match the DSP on the card front.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you find encouragement and inspiration.  Have a blessed day.
