Stampin’ Up! Daisy Lane

Stampin’ Up! Daisy Lane

Happy Sunny Sunday!  I hope your day goes fabulous and you get to do what your heart desires.

The card I am sharing is a combo of Stampin’ Up! Daisy Lane Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals Designer Series Paper (DSP).  I seem to be using these two more than I probably should, but daisies are my favorite and I love, love, love this Daisy DSP.

My inspiration for my card comes from two challenges today.  One is Just Us Girls  — Word Week #58  Designer  Paper

The other is Watercooler Wednesday   Dawn’s Feminine “Anything Goes” Challenge

I have used Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Bushel card stock as the card base.  I wanted to emboss the front of the card with the Stampin’ Up!  Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder so I cut a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Bushel card stock the size of the card front and embossed it.  This makes it so much easier and neater to emboss in this fashion.  This panel is not adhered to the card front until the entire card front is finished, again doing this way makes it easier for me.

I winged it and cut the panel of Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals DSP this design by cutting a portion of the panel out using the Stampin’ Up! Paper Trimmer and scissors.  This is no particular design for any reason other than I liked it cut that way to reveal the embossed panel underneath.  The scalloped trim is created from a one-inch strip from another panel of the Pressed Petals DSP and an old pair of scalloped edge craft scissors that are probably from the 80’s or maybe 1990.  They are clunky and have big blue and yellow plastic handles  — must have been for a child.

I stamped 4 daisies using the Stampin’ Up! Daisy Lane Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Delight ink.  I stacked these together to create my daisy.  I stamped the leaf 3 times on a scrap of Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow card stock using Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow ink, I then fussy cut and stack these together also adhering them using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  A small bow was created using Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Baker’s Twine.

The greeting is from the Stampin’ Up! A Little Lace. I stamped it in Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Bushel ink and then cut the greeting apart to use the portion I wanted.  The greeting is popped on the card front using Stampin’ Up! Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals that was cut in two pieces to fit the tiny words.  I left the inside panel blank so a note can be written. The jewels are from the Stampin’ Up! Nobel Peacock Rhinestones.

In finishing, I gave a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope flap a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals Designer Series Paper.

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.

Stampin’ Up! Let It Ride

Stampin’ Up! Let It Ride

Happy Friday, have a great weekend.

 

My challenge and inspiration for the day comes from Addicted to Stamps and More……   Anything Goes!

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake card stock with a Stampin’ Up! Shaded Spruce card stock mat as half of the focal panel, the other half is from Stampin’ Up! Wrapped in Plaid Specialty Designer Series Paper. 

I stamped the image of the horse from the Stampin’ Up! Let It Ride Stamp Set in Stampin’ Up! Early Espresso ink on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake card stock.  The trees are stamped on a square of Crumb Cake card stock using Stampin’ Up! Shaded Spruce ink.

The inside sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Let It Ride Stamp Set is stamped in Shaded Spruce on a panel of Crumb Cake card stock.  The three trees are stamped in Shaded Spruce also at the top and bottom of the Crumb Cake panel.

In finishing, I gave a Stampin’ Up! Very Vanilla envelope flap a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Wrapped in Plaid Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Stampin Up! Rustic Retreat with Magnolia Lane

Stampin Up! Rustic Retreat with Magnolia Lane

I hope everyone is having a nice restful Sunday, enjoying the cool Autumn air and that maybe you had time yesterday or will today visit some of the Fall Festivals that happen this time each year.  I went to the park for my usual walk yesterday and was stopped at the gate, the lady said you are welcome to come in and walk but you will have to go find a parking space some other place, so that was it for a walk in the park along the river.

My card today is the other card of the challenge from yesterday. There are always two cards for this challenge. The challenge is with Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.

The  Stampin’ Up! Petal Pink card base is square with a background panel from Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper.

The two panels with the Magnolia Lane DSP showing the magnolias are matted on panels of Petal Pink card stock.  The greeting from Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat Stamp Set is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow ink on a panel of Petal Pink that I cut into an oval.  It may not be a perfect oval but I did not have a skinny oval so I created one.  It is matted on a panel of Mossy Meadow card stock as is the other magnolia panel.

Two of the magnolias on the panel on the left are part of the DSP, the middle magnolia has been fussy cut and popped between the two magnolias using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals and a  small bow is adhered using a Glue Dot.  The magnolia at the bottom of the greeting oval has been fussy cut, popped on and a bow adhered with a Stampin’ Up! Glue Dot.  I trimmed around the edge of the magnolia at the top of the greeting oval so it would hang over the oval just a bit.

The inside sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Strong and Beautiful Stamp Set and is stamped in Mossy Meadow on a Whisper White label from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Label Dies that has been matted on a panel of the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper. A magnolia fussy cut from a panel of the DSP is adhered in the right corner and on the label.

In finishing, I gave a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Lane DSP  and magnolias on the front.

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.

Stampin’ Up! To A Wild Rose with Toile Christmas

Stampin’ Up! To A Wild Rose with Toile Christmas

I think the card I am sharing today turned out lovely.  I thought it was going to be one of those blah! cards but no it isn’t.

My challenge is with CAS(E) This Sketch.   

I suppose you can call this a white card since only white card stock was used in the creation.  The entire card is created using Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock. 

The card base is Whisper White, the mat embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder is Whisper White, the lace panel cut using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Lace Dies is Whisper White.  

The rose is stamped on a 3″ square of Whisper White using Stampin’ Up! Cherry Cobbler ink and the rose stamp from the Stampin’ Up! To A Wild Rose Stamp Set.  The first stamping is full strength, the second is stamped off once to get the lighter color.  The berry branch is stamped using Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake ink and using a stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Toile Christmas BundleStampin’ Up! Cherry Cobbler and Pear Pizzazz inks are used along with a Stampin’ Up! Blender Pen to color the berries and leaves.

The inside sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! To A Wild Rose Stamp Set and is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Cherry Cobbler  ink on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock.

In finishing, I adhered a panel of the lace cut using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Lace Dies.  It coordinates with the card front.

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

Stampin’ Up! Born To Shine

Stampin’ Up! Born To Shine

Have a happy, happy Sunday all! Make it a joyous day!

The card I am sharing today is from Stampin’ Up! Born to Shine Stamp Set.  This stamp is ballet and you can see why I need a card with a ballerina on it.  When we think of the University of Alabama we always think football, but they have a great school of dance that you never hear about unless you have a dancer.

My challenge today is with Just Us Girls  They are showing a photo that gives you ideas.

And…Sweet Stampin’  There challenge is Pretty in Pink!

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock with a mat of Stampin’ Up! Seaside Spray card stock for the Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper.

There is also a Stampin’ Up! Petal Pink card stock mat for the Petal Pink art piece.  The Petal Pink panels have been flicked with Aqua Painter that has been dipped in black watercolor.  The ballerina has been stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink onto the pink panel. A length of Stampin’ Up! 5/8″ Organdy Striped Petal Pink Ribbon is wrapped around the middle of the card at the location the two DSP’s meet.

The ballerina image from the Stampin’ Up! Born To Shine Stamp Set is stamped twice more onto a scrap of Petal Pink card stock and then fussy cut and adhered over the one stamped on the art panel.  A third one is stamped on a small scrap of the Bird Ballad DSP and the ballerina costume is fussy cut and then adhered over the others.

Several Stampin’ Up! Pearl Basic Jewels are randomly placed around the card front.  The entire card front is embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Petal Pink on a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock panel that has been matted on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Seaside Spray card stock.

In finishing, I adhered a panel of Bird Ballad DSP to the envelope flap and stamped dancing legs on the lower right corner of the envelope.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you find encouragement for your day, have a blessed Sunday!
