Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts

The card I am sharing today is created using the Peaceful Place DSP and the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set.

The sketch challenge with Tuesday Morning Sketches is my inspiration for this card.

This is a simple card to make, also easy, and took only a short while to put the pieces together. It was all cutting and embossing except for the greeting from the Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set.

The card base is Smoky Slate card stock with a panel of Basic Black card stock embossed using a Stitched With Whimsy Die and popped on the card base after the other layers are added. A panel of Peaceful Place DSP is adhered over the Basic Black panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

From a different panel of the Peaceful Place DSP a square of the DSP is cut and then embossed using a small die from the Stitched With Whimsy Dies. This small square is matted on a square of Basic Black and popped on the plaid panel using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. A length of Real Red Sheer Ribbon is placed behind the panel before it is popped on the plaid panel. Cute Star Sequins are popped around the trees.

Another panel of the Peaceful Place DSP is cut and a little of it is fussy cut before being matted onto a Basic Black mat. It is then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. A sentiment will be added later.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the plaid DSP from the Peaceful Place DSP adhered to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Poinsetta Petals Merry Christmas

This is my first Christmas card of the season. Maybe if I make one a day, I won’t have to rush when October rolls around.

The card I am creating today uses the Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals Stamp Set and the Poinsettia Dies. A very simple card to create, but sometimes the most simple take the most time for me.

Inspiration for this challenge comes from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.

Cherry Cobbler card stock is the card base as well as the mat for the DSP. I cut all the paper and card stock then started adhering together. A gold panel from the Gold & Rose Gold 6″ x 6″ Metallic Specialty Paper is applied over the Cherry Cobbler card stock base. The greeting label is cropped using a die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies. The greeting is one of the many Merry Christmas stamps I have saved over the years, so you can use any Merry Christmas stamp of your choice if you so desire to create this card and I’m hoping you will.

A panel of Tidings of Christmas DSP is matted on Cherry Cobbler card stock using Multipurpose Liquid Glue then adhered over the gold panel.

The small poinsettia die from the Poinsettia Dies is used to crop the three poinsettias, another die is used to crop the berries also. Two are cropped from Cherry Cobbler card stock, one from Very Vanilla card stock. The Very Vanilla one is brushed with Cherry Cobbler ink using a Blending Brush. They are arranged on the DSP panel using Mini Glue Dots and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Elegant Faceted Gems are popped in the middle of each poinsettia. Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels are also popped around the card front.

The retired sentiment is stamped in Soft Succulent on a panel of Very Vanilla that has been cropped using a die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies. A strip of the DSP used on the card front is adhered to the bottom of the panel.

A medium Very Vanilla envelope gets a panel of the same DSP used on the card front applied to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Dove of Hope

Good Day everyone. Have a great one!

The stamp set I am sharing today is Stampin’ Up! Dove of Hope Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Detailed Dove Dies.

Dream Valley Challenge is one of the challenges I am playing today. The theme is Christmas.

And Make My Monday Challenge. Their theme is also Christmas.

This was a simple and easy card to do. All that was required was to cut the layers which is an easy task and crop the dove from the Stampin’ Up! Detailed Dove Dies and pop it on the card front. I used glue dots, Stampin’ Dimensionals, and Multipurpose Liquid Glue in popping it on. The background panel is from a Stampin’ Up! Paper Pumpkin.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Bough Dies to crop the greenery and the twig in the dove’s beak. It does show very well but I placed one of the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels behind the eye. The greenery has a tiny linen bow created using Stampin’ Up! Linen Twine.

The greeting is from the Stampin’ Up! Dove of Hope Stamp Set and is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink. I have no inside sentiment for now until I can decide which one and the person receiving the card.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day. My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself. Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me. Have a blessed day!

Stampin’ Up! Dove of Hope

Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend and are not too, too tired from all the cyber-shopping🤣

The card featured today highlights Stampin’ Up! Dove of Hope and For Unto Us Stamp Sets along with the Stampin’ Up! Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder.

The inspiration for today’s card comes from the Freshly Made Sketches 463 – a sketch by Amy.

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock with a layer of the same that has been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder. It barely shows up behind the art piece.

The three strips are cut from Stampin’ Up! Classic Christmas 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and positioned behind the art piece. They are adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The art piece is from the Stampin’ Up! Dove of Hope stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on the Whisper White panel that has been cropped using Stampin’ Up! Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I believe this is the next to largest die.

The twig in the dove’s mouth and the branch it is on is colored using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blends in Light Cherry Cobbler and Light and Dark Shaded Spruce markers.

The greeting from Stampin’ Up! For Unto Us stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink. Three Stampin’ Up! Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels are placed randomly around the card front.

The sentiment from Stampin’ Up! For Unto Us Stamp Set and Dove of Hope Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a Whisper White panel. Three small strips are adhered to the left side to resemble the strips on the card front.

The Stampin’ Up! Medium Whisper White envelope get a panel of the Classic Christmas 6″ x 6″ DSP and your project is finished.

Stampin’ Up! Winter Woods

Up! WFriday is here and the weekend looms ahead. Any fabulous plans for the weekend?

The card today is a Z – fold card. This type card is fun to create.

The inspiration for today comes from the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge – Karen’s Challenge All About Occasions

Usually, the card cuts to create a card is at the end of the post but I think cuts may be needed in giving instructions creating this card.

To create a double z fold card, start with a piece of Stampin’ Up! Cherry Cobbler cardstock that measures 8-1/2″ x 11″ inches. From this piece of cardstock, you will cut one piece of card stock 4-1/4″ x 11″ score this piece at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″. Cut a 1″ x 11″ piece of Stampin’ Up! Cherry Cobbler card stock and score it at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″. This will form your z fold section that is the base for your trees to be attached.

Double Z Fold Measurements:

A – Cherry Cobbler card stock 4-1/4″ x 11″ card base, scored at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″
B – Cherry Cobbler card stock 1-1/4″ x 11″ cardstock (front piece), scored at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″
C – Tis’ The Season Designer Series Paper – larger panel – 4″ x 5-1/4″
Whisper White (sentiment) 3 ” x 4″ Cropped using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched So Sweetly Dies
Tis’ The Season Designer Paper – the two panels behind the 3 trees

Before you adhered the 1″ strip to the card base you need to adhere the Stampin’ Up! Tis The Season Designer Series Paper that goes on the card base. The measurement for each panel is above. Once you have done that adhere the 1″ strip. The Z fold goes opposite the way the card base folds. You can see from above that the smaller folded section goes to the right side. The larger section goes to the left where the three trees are attached.

The trees from the Stampin’ Up! Winter Woods stamp set are stamped in Stampin’ Up! Shaded Spruce ink and cropped using the In the Woods Dies. Two trees are cropped from Shaded Spruce card stock using one of the In the Woods Dies. The trees are then adhered to the 1″ strip that has been adhered to the card base. The sentiment and greeting are stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink on Whisper White card stock and cropped using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched So Sweetly Dies. Stampin’ Up! Rhinestone Basic Jewels are colored using a Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blends Cherry Cobbler Marker. A Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Medium Envelope gets a panel of the Tis’ The Season DSP added to the envelope flap.
