Stampin’ Up!

Stampin’ Up!

I hope everyone is having a good day with the clouds & chilliness today.  I have a great idea, make cards.

My card today features the Gift of Hope Stamp Set, along with the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder.  This folder was a gift, I do not know how I have overlooked it in the catalog for so long, so happy it was given to me.

The design inspiration is from the Try Stampin On Tuesday Challenge.

And… The Sisterhood of Crafters–their challenge is Easter/Spring.

Start with a card base of Pool Party card stock, emboss a panel of the same using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder, apply to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Using Tuxedo Memento Black ink and the Gift of Hope Stamp Set, stamp the image on a panel of Basic White card stock.  Color the image using Rococo Rose, Granny Apple Green, and Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends Markers.  Crop using the largest dies from the Layering Circle Dies.  Adhere to the embossed panel.

Crop the Rococo Rose card stock band using a die from the Stitched Be Mine Dies. Layer a piece of Vellum card stock over the top using Glue Dots, adhere to the embossed panel with Multipurpose  Liquid Glue.  Wrap a length of Playing with Patterns Ribbon around the middle of the band adhering in the back with tape.  Make a bow and pop on using a glue dot.  Adhere the embossed panel to the card base.

Stamp the same image from the Gift of Hope Stamp Set as the one on the card front on a panel of Basic White card stock and color using the same markers.

Emboss the flap of a medium Basic White envelope using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder.

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

Stampin’ Up! Band Together With Peaceful Poppies

Good morning stampers!  I hope your weekend was great fun-filled with family as we are still in the social distancing stage.  Those who had to work thank you for going to the war zones for us.

This card features the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper.

Band Together Stamp Set in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a small panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock, crop using a die from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched So Sweetly Die Set.  Add a single rhinestone, pop on the card front using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Crop a panel of Whisper White using a die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and stamp a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Stamp Set.  Stamp a cross from the Stampin’ Up! Hold On To Hope Stamp Set in Stampin’ Up! Highland Heather Classic Ink.  stamp Off once before stamping over the sentiment.  Adhere to the Stampin’ Up!

Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips

Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips

I hope your Saturday is going great and you have a great weekend planned.  Since gardening time is approaching, are your plans to work getting your garden ready for planting, going to buy plants or just planning the layout and what you want to plant this year?

The inspiration for my card is from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.

Start with a Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Delight card stock base and a background panel of the same that has been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder.  Even though this color is cheery and bright this is a color I rarely use, yellow is just not my color.

A panel of Stampin’ Up! Pleased As Punch Designer Series Paper is added across the bottom of the embossed panel.  Three tulips are stamped on Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock in different colors, Stampin’ Up! Highland Heather, Flirty Flamingo, and Rococo Rose inks using one of the smaller tulip stamps from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Stamp Set.  The leaves are stamped in Olive Olive ink.

A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Greetings is stamped in Highland Heather ink on the Pleased As Punch DSP.  A double bow is made using Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Baker’s Twine and then popped on the tulips.   Several Stampin’ Up! Pearl Basic Jewels are scattered around the card front, now it is on to the inside.

The sentiments from Stampin’ Up! Flourishing Phrases and Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Sets is stamped on the Whisper White panel using Tuxedo Memento Black Ink.  Two tulips are stamped on the lower right in Flirty Flamingo and Highland Heather inks.  A time bow is added to the tulips.

A Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope gets a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Pleased As Punch Designer Series Paper added to the panel.  All the card cuts for this card can be found at the end of the post.

Stampin’ Up! Lovely Is The Day Holding On To Hope

Stampin’ Up! Lovely Is The Day Holding On To Hope

 Good Friday morning all!  Three more Fridays and it will sure Nuff be Good Friday!  Hope your week has been as good as can be with all the new situations cast upon us.  I hope everyone is staying in, enjoying family time and creating beautiful cards.

If you listen to the media you will be scared out of your wits – I refuse to let them scare me—what will be, will be and we will be around the mountain to the other side before we know it.  Help others when you are able.  My neighbor and good friend around the corner keeps texting and calling wanting to know if we need anything (you know since we are too young to go out🙂) even though we live with our son.

At the beginning of the month, we were self quarantined because we were indirectly exposed to the virus.  Can you believe the first case in our county happened to be a child at the school where I had worked and my friend works still?  Now here we are having to stay in again,  because we are too young to be out.  We did sneak out to the park for a walk though, not very many on the trail.  Just a few young ones like us!🙂

Anyway, I have enough distraction from my card crafting as it is and I do not need this added, how about you?

The card I am sharing for today features the Stampin’ Up! Lovely Is The Day and Hold On To Hope Stamp Sets.

Today’s challenge is with The Sisterhood of Crafters.  Their theme for this challenge is Easter.

Start with a Stampin’ Up! Balmy Blue card stock base and a background panel of the same that has been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder. Add a panel of Stampin’ Up! Basic Black card stock embossed with the same embossing folder.  Next comes a panel of Stampin’ Up! Old Olive card stock cropped using the rectangle die from Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Thoughts Dies.

The art piece is a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White cropped using a die from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched So Sweetly Dies, the cropping is done after the artwork has been stamped and colored.

The artwork is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Tuxedo Memento Black Ink, stamp off once, on the Whisper White panel.  I stamped the cross on masking paper and popped in the middle of the panel so the field of flowers could be stamped.  I also masked the flowers twice in order to get as many flowers as needed.

Using a Stampin’ Up! Balmy Blue Watercolor Pencil I colored the sky lightly and using an Aqua Painter spread the coloring around.  When dry I stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink, the hello in the corner.

Using a die from the Stampin’ Up! Cross of Hope Dies, I cropped the cross from a panel of Stampin’ Up! Copper Foil Sheets, I then cropped the vine using a die from Stampin’ Up! Botanical Tags Dies. The vine is woven around the cross then popped in the masked spot on the card front.  Stampin’ Up! Rhinestone Basic Jewels and Pearl Basic Jewels are added around the art piece.  All the layers are adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock.  A single flower from the Lovely Is The Day stamp set is stamped in the corner and colored using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blends Markers in Light Daffodil Delight and Old Olive.

A Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope gets a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Subtle 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper added to the panel.  All the card cuts for this card can be found at the end of the post.

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!

His Grace

His Grace

My card today is created using the His Grace stamp set. It is a lovely stamp set and perfect for Easter.

My design today comes from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge for this week.

It starts with a Whisper White card base and then two layers of mats.  The Highland Heather mat shows through the cross.  The Mossy Meadow and Highland Heather card stock are adhered together using Liquid Glue.  Take a panel of Sahara Sand or Crumb Cake card stock and using one of the Cross of Hope Framelits Dies to cut the cross in the center of the panel.

I stamped the flower garland twice around the cross using Crumb Cake ink.  I then used the White Watercolor pencil from the Watercolor Pencil set to color all the flowers and leaves and then used a Granny Apple Green and Highland Heather Stampin’ Write Marker to color the flowers and leaves  Using the White Watercolor pencil first allows for a softer color.

The Crumb Cake panel is adhered to the Highland Heather panel using Liquid Glue, then the cross is glued into the spot where it had been cut.  A length of Linen Thread is wrapped around the three panels and attached on the back with  Glue Dots.  A bow is made and popped in the center of the three strands of thread with a Glue Dot.

The greeting is stamped in Highland Heather ink on a scrap of Whisper White card stock.  It was cut out the shape of the stamp using Paper Snips.  By accident, it became popped where it is.  I was interrupted and not thinking laid the greeting down to go take care of what interrupted me, when I returned it was stuck tight so I had to leave in this spot.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Crumb Cake on a panel of Crumb Cake card stock and matted on a Highland Heather panel which is then adhered to the Whisper White card base. Granny Apple Green and Highland Heather Stampin’ Write Markers were used coloring the flower flourish from the Hold on to Hope stamp set.  I colored each flower and leave individually and since I was using Stampin’ Write Markers to color.  I would color a flower or leave and then stamp.  Took a bit of time, but it turned out great.

Thank you for stopping by today.  My wish is for your encouragement and inspiration in your own creations from visiting here.  Hope your day has been blessed!
