Stampin’ Up! Free As A Bird

June 17, 2019 admin Comments 8 comments

I am sharing a card made using the Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper and again, To A Wild Rose Stamp Set.

My card design and challenge for the day is inspired by The Sisterhood of Crafters Three B’s (birds, bees, butterflies) USE ANY OR ALL

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Pool Party card stock with a Stampin’ Up! Pool Party card stock background panel. The background panel is embossed using Stampin’ Up! Subtles Embossing Folder that has been sponged around the edges with Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake ink.

The flower lattice from the Stampin’ Up! To A Wild Rose Stamp Set is cut in Stampin’ Up! Flirty Flamingo card stock. It is placed vertically down the left side of the card front. The birds are fussy cut from Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper and popped on the card front us Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from Stampin’ Up! To A Wild Rose Stamp Set and is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Pool Party ink on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock that has been cut using Stampin’ Up! Stitched Rectangle Dies.

The sentiment is from To A Wild Rose stamp set and is stamped in Pool Party ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock. A butterfly from Stampin’ Up! Beauty Abounds Stamp Set is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Flirty Flamingo ink and fussy cut.

In finishing my card I decorated a Whisper White Envelope so it will coordinate with the birds on the card front. I gave the envelope flap a panel from the Stampin’ Up! Free AS A Bird Designer Series Paper (DSP).

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and my wish is that your day be blessed.

Stampin’ Up! Varied Vases

June 14, 2019 admin Comments 10 comments

Have you ever forgotten to post your blog? I am just a wee bit late with my posting today. Please smile here!

Today, I am sharing a clean and simple card of encouragement by using the Stampin’ Up! Varied Vases Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Forever Lovely Stamp Set. I think these colors do look so clean and cool and simple to create. Should I put #simple? If you can use a paper cutter you can make this.

My card design and challenge for the day is inspired by Tuesday Morning Sketches. The sketch for the challenge is by Melissa Craig.

A Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock base is always good. It goes with any color except may a dull yellow or gray.

Next a panel of Stampin’ Up! Bermuda Bay card stock is added as a mat for the Stampin’ Up! Whisper White panel that becomes the mat for the Stampin’ Up! 6″ x 6″ Brights Designer Series Paper panel that is the background panel for the art piece.

Three flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Varied Vases stamp set are stamped in Stampin’ Up! Rococo Rose ink, Melon Mambo ink and So Saffron ink on the panel of Whisper White card stock.

The vases are punch from various scraps of the Stampin’ Up 6″ x 6″ Brights DSP using the Stampin’ Up! Vase Builder Punch. These are adhered over the flowers using Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Up! Pearl Basic Jewels are added to the card front.

The sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Forever Lovely stamp set is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy ink on a Whisper White panel that is matted using Bermuda Bay card stock. A flower is stamped in the lower corner.

In finishing my card I decorated a Whisper White Envelope so it will coordinate with the theme of the card front. I gave the envelope flap a panel from the Stampin’ Up! 6″ x 6″ Bright Designer Series Paper (DSP).

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and my wish is that your day be blessed.

Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals

June 13, 2019 admin Comments 6 comments

This is a pretty card. I love this DSP. Stampin’ Up! certainly has beautiful Designer Series Paper for the 2019-2020 year. I whined because some of my favorite paper was retired, but this is for sure a great replacement. The flowers look so real. I used the Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals DSP to make this card and used Stampin’ Up! Well Said Stamp Set for the greeting on the card front. The inside sentiment is from one of my favorite stamp sets which I did not like and did not order, then it was gifted to me and when I used it, I was regretful that I wasted time not having Stampin’ Up!’s Beautiful Promenade Stamp Set. I have since used it so much. I’ve probably said all this before about this stamp set.

My challenge for the day is FabFri165

The base is from the new Stampin’ Up! In-Color card stock Rococo Rose. The background panel is from Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals DSP as is the art piece.

The art piece and the mat for it have been cut using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Nested Label Dies.

The trim at the bottom of the art piece is Stampin’ Up! Woven Threads Trim.

The word LOVE come from the Stampin’ Up! Well Said Stamp Set and is stamped in Merry Merlot ink on a scrap of Whisper White card stock. I then used my snips to trim each end to match the Stitched Nested Label Die.

The sentiment is from Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Promenade Stamp Set and is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Merry Merlot ink on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock. Flowers have been fussy cut from the Pressed Petals DSP and adhered in the left corner with Liquid Glue.

In finishing my card I decorated a Whisper White Envelope so it will coordinate with the floral theme of the card. I gave the envelope flap a panel from the Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petal DSP. Don’t you just love this DSP, it is so pretty!

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like my card and my wish is that your day be blessed.

Stampin’ Up! New Wonders

June 6, 2019 admin Comments 6 comments

There is nothing like getting your card for a certain challenge made at midnight and start to write the blog only to realize you have made the card entirely different from what the challenge is. So what do you do? You put it all away and go to bed, hoping for a better morning. Well, here I am again with a totally different card and praying it works this time.

I am playing along again today at another challenge at Try Stampin’ on Tuesday.

I used the Stampin’ Up! New Wonders stamp set to create this cute little card. I have been wanting to use this set and just kept waiting to do it. It is a cute stamp set and is actually a Hostess Set, meaning you can earn it by having a $150 party or purchasing $150 personally. Being a demonstrator means I had the opportunity to order it during pre-order (one of the perks of being a demonstrator) after OnStage in November 2018. Has it really been that long since OnStage? We have a new one coming in April and if you become a demonstrator, you have the privilege of going if you so choose. That’s enough, now on to the card for the day. Here are the basics of the card:

The base is Stampin’ Up! Coastal Cabana card stock.
Two panels from the Stampin’ Up! Follow Your Art Designer Series Paper, one is the mat and the other is the background panel.
A 2″ strip is cut fro the Poppy Parade, and adhered with Liquid Multipurpose Glue to the center portion of the background panel. Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Twine is wrapped around this panel three times before it is adhered. A bow is also made and popped on using Glue Dots.
Using a die from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Framelits Dies a border piece is cut for each side of the Poppy Parade panel.
Several Stampin’ Up! Pearl Basic Jewels are colored with the Stampin’ Up! Dark Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends and scattered about on the card front.
One of the images from the Stampin’ Up! New Wonders Hostess Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a 3″ square of Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Paper. After stamping, I cut it out using Stampin’ Up Layering Circle Dies. Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blends are used to color the image. The colors used were Light Poppy Parade, Light Bermuda Bay, Light Daffodil Delight, Light Petal Pink, Light Crumb Cake, Light Balmy Blue, and Light Smoky Slate.

That’s it for the card front. There is no inside sentiment only three hearts stamped in Stampin’ Up! Poppy Parade Ink using the small heart stamp from Stampin’ Up! Meant to Be stamp set.

In finishing my card I decorated a Whisper White Envelope so it will coordinate with the background panel on the card front. I stamped the images from the Stampin’ Up! New Wonders stamp set on the front of the envelope and gave the envelope flap a panel from the Stampin’ Up! Follow Your Art DSP.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and my wish is that your day be blessed.

Stampin’ Up! Come Sail Away

June 4, 2019 admin Comments 4 comments

My card today is created using the Stampin’ Up Come Sail Away Memories and More card pack. This is a simple card to make #simplestamping. Really there is no stamping to it. We learned it all in kindergarten, cut and paste!

The challenge I am playing along with today is Sketch Saturday.

The card is put together using either Liquid Glue, Glue Dots or Stampin’ Up! Stampin Dimensionals. The greeting panel is popped on using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The inside sentiment is created using the stickers in the Come Sail Away Memories and More card pack.

The card from the card pack is adhered using Liquid Glue and the stickers one in the middle of the compass and the other just a bit below.

To finish my card I decorated a Very Vanilla Envelope so it will coordinate with the background panel on the card front. I popped the sticker images from the Stampin’ Up! Come Sail Away Memories and More card set on the front of the envelope.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and my wish is that your day be blessed.
