Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow — Congratulations

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow — Congratulations

I am sharing a beautiful card today created using more than one stamp set.  I used Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow stamp set for the main focus of the card.  Stampin’ Up! Scenic Wonders, So Sincere, and Something Fancy stamp sets are use for the greeting and sentiment.  Quiet Meadow will probably be retired when the new annual catalog comes out along with the other three sets.

I am entering the Sketch Saturday Challenge for this card. Their theme this challenge is to choose a design from past sketches so  I chose Sketch #649.  This is a sketch design that I am saving for future cards.   I looked through the designs three times, saving designs I liked to my challenge folder for future use.

The card base is Basic White card stock with a piece of the same embossed using the Splatters die from Stripes & Splatters 3 D Embossing Folders.  The piece behind the art piece is embossed with the same as is the corner of the art piece.  I believe the gold mats make the Basic White pieces popped out.

The three embossed pieces has Balmy Blue ink brushed on using a Blending Brush  The two smaller pieces of Basic White card stock are matted on pieces of Distressed Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper.  The background piece is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  The larger of the two small pieces is adhered over the background piece.  The art piece is popped on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals as you can see from the photo above.  A butterfly from my stash of butterflies is popped on the card front also.  A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy stamp set is stamped in Smoky Slate ink on a piece of Basic White card stock, matted on a piece of Distressed Gold Specialty Design Series Paper.  Tinsel Gems are popped around ‘the card front.  One of the Gems is also popped on the butterfly’s head.

A panel of Basic White card stock is stamped in Smoky Slate ink with a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! So Sincere stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Scenic Wonders stamp set.  Flowers from Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow stamp set are stamped in Smoky Slate ink, then colored using Balmy Blue, Granny Apple Green, and Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Markers.

A Basic White medium envelope gets a flower image from Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow stamp set stamped on the envelope flap in Smoky Slate then colored using Balmy Blue, Granny Apple Green, and Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin’ Up! Lets Set Sail with Rings of Love and Honeybee Home

Stampin’ Up! Lets Set Sail with Rings of Love and Honeybee Home

The card I am sharing today is a new fun fold for me.  It is called a Circle Fun Fold.

I am entering the PINspirational Challenge for today. Their challenges are Anything Goes.  The {pin}spiring photo brings memories of spreading a jean quilt my Granny had made on the grass to watch the clouds float by and the birds in the trees, taking to one another.

I am also entering the Sunday Stamps Challenge.   The colors are so inspiring.

I started with a Night of Navy card base. Scoring at 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4″.  I then cut mats from Balmy Blue card stock for the mats.  I cut pieces of Rings of Love DSP to create the background for my card. The Rings of Love DSP pieces are adhered to the Balmy Blue mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. They are then adhered to the card base using the same adhesive.

Using dies from a long-retired die set, I cropped two circles, one larger than the other. The smaller circle got embossed using Timetorn Type 3D Embossing Folder.  I adhered them together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Using my bone folder, I scored about 1-/2″  from the edge of the circles then I adhered the circle to the Night of Navy card base using Tear & Tape.

i fussy cut two houses for this card.  One on the card front and the other on the inside of the circle.  I popped the one on the front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the one inside the circle with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Iridescent Rhinestone Jewels are popped around the circle.  A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moment stamps set is stamped in Night of Navy ink on Basic White card stock and cropped using a die from Stitched Rectangle Dies.

The inside side gets sentiments from Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home stamp set.  You can see where the second house is now that the card is opened fully.  I colored a length of twine using a Night of Navy Stampin’ Blends to tire around the card to keep it from popping open.

A medium Basic White envelope gets DSP from Rings of Love DSP applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Calming Camellia With Much Love Card

Stampin’ Up! Calming Camellia With Much Love Card

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Calming Camellia Stamp Set.  I was just playing around with different colors of card stock to see how the flowers would look on each that’s how this became a card with a cropped heart in the middle.

The challenge for today is the Watercooler Wednesday  — Helen’s Challenge: All About Occasions.  This card can be for any occasion of your choice as the inside sentiment is blank and it can be added, be it birthday, celebration, congratulations, or thinking of you.  I am sure there could be many more occasions.

The card base is Cherry Cobbler card stock and as I said earlier, I was playing around seeing what this flower would look like on different colors of card stock so this was the chosen one for today.

The flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Calming Camellia Stamp Set is stamped in Memento Black ink onto the panel of Cherry Cobbler card stock.  I then cropped a big heart from the middle of the heart intending to pop one of the images from the Stampin’ Up! In The Moment Stamp Set there.  It just did not have the right appeal to me when I place it there.

After cropping the heart from the panel, I colored the flowers using Basic White Pigment Ink and a Blender Pen.  Although the ink used was white, the flowers look pink, I suppose the red of the Cherry Cobbler created this color.

After coloring the panel is adhered to a Basic White card stock mat and popped on the card front. The cropped heart is then popped back into the spot cropped from using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  A smaller heart is then popped over the large one and a greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Through This Together Stamp Set is popped across the heart.

Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels are popped around the card front.

The flap of a medium Basic White envelope gets embossed using the Pretty Flowers embossing folder and several of the flowers are colored using Cherry Cobbler ink and a Blending Brush.

Stampin’ Up! All For Baby

Stampin’ Up! All For Baby

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! All For Baby Stamp Set along with the Timber 3-D Embossing Folder, Bloom Where You Are Planted SP, and In The Wild DSP.

The CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge is my inspiration for the design.  I rotated the design and created it as landscape instead of portrait.

The card base is Crumb Cake card stock.  A panel of Bloom Where You Are Planted DSP is embossed using the Timber 3-D Embossing Folder. Two lengths of Linen Thread are used to make the clothesline for the baby clothes.  It is adhered on each end using a Mini Glue Dot.  The panel is then adhered to the Crumb Cake base.  The greeting is stamped in Soft Succulent ink on a scrap of Crumb Cake card stock then cropped using one of the Tasteful Label Die.

Two of the onesies are cropped from two different panels of In The Wild DSP.  The third onesie is stamped in Soft Succulent ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock.  The bear is stamped in Crumb Cake ink on a scrap of  Basic White card stock.  After the cropping and stamping, the onesies and bear are popped on the card front so they will appear as if they are hanging on a clothesline..Four clothespins are cropped from Crumb Cake and popped above each item so it will appear as if they are being held with a clothespin.

The inside sentiment panel is a panel of the Bloom Where You Are Planted DSP.  A sentiment from the All For Baby Stamp Set is stamped in Soft Succulent ink onto the panel.  The panel is then popped on the card base.   Wonderful Gems are popped on the card front in various spots.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the plaid DSP from the In The Wild DSP adhered to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch

Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch

Can you believe it is already Wednesday and the middle of the week.  Seems only yesterday it was the weekend.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Pansy Dies that coordinate with the Pansy Patch Stamp Set.  I also used the Tasteful Texture Embossing Folder.

My inspiration for this card comes from the Sunday Stamp Challenge.  It is a color challenge and I chose the colors Calypso Coral, Cherry Cobbler, Evening Evergreen, and Soft Succulent Stamp Pads and Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I started with a Basic White card stock base with a panel of the same embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. Another panel was cropped using the Stitched With Whimsy Dies.  This panel has the pansies popped on it.

The pansies and leaves are cropped using the Pansy Dies.  I cropped enough for three pansies to be created.  The pansies are colored using a sponge for applying the ink.  The edges of the pansies and the light pink color that appears on the inside of the pansy petals is from Cherry Cobbler ink,  the center is Calypso Coral ink applied lightly.  The center part that resembles a butterfly is colored using Calypso Coral patted on the pieces several times to get it to the dark color.

The leaves are colored with Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen Stampin’ Blends Marker.  The Hello is stamped in Evening Evergreen ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock and popped on the card front.  Three Pearl Basic Jewels are colored using the Evening Evergreen Maker and popped around the card front.  The White Faux Linen ribbon from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack is colored by patting Calypso Coral ink on it using a sponge.  It is adhered under the pansy using a Mini Glue Dot.

A pansy and bud are colored and adhered to a Basic White panel for the sentiment panel.

A panel of Subtle 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper is cut and adhered to the Basic White envelope flap.  This panel of DSP is Calpyso Coral and matches the colors used for the flowers.

If you would like to create this card all the products used and the card cuts are at the end of this post.
