Stampin’ Up! Hand Penned Sending Hugs

Stampin’ Up! Hand Penned Sending Hugs

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Handed Penned Stamp Set, the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Stamp Set for the inside sentiment, the Stampin’ Up! Positive Thoughts Stamp Set for the greeting and the Stampin’ Up! Brilliant Wings Dies for the butterflies.

 I am playing along with Pammie’s Inky Pinkies Challenge.  Anything Goes is the theme.

I started with a Highland Heather card stock card base.  A panel of Basic White card stock is stamped in Versa Mark ink and Gold Embossing powder is sprinkled over the ink.  It is then heat embossed to set the Gold Embossing Powder.

The flowers and leaves are watercolored using Polished Pink and Evening Evergreen inks with a Water Painter.  After coloring, an oval is cropped from the art piece then place back into the negative space using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Two butterflies are cropped using dies from the Brilliant Wings Dies.  They are popped on the card front using Glue Dots.  Three jewels from the 2021-2022 Incolor Jewels are popped around the card front.  The greeting is stamped in Evening Evergreen ink using stamps from the Positive Thoughts Stamp Set.  I fussy cut around each word and popped on the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A sentiment from the Pansy Patch Stamp Set is stamped in Evening Evergreen ink on the Basic White panel.  Flowers from the Hand Penned Stamp Set are stamped using Tuxedo Memento Black in and then colored.

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

Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts

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! Quiet Meadow

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Stamp Set and the Meadow Dies.  

The inspiration for today’s card comes from the Sunday Stamps Challenge.  My colors are Blackberry Bliss, Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Soft Succulent, and Shaded Spruce.  I guess I used them all.

Emboss two panels of Basic White card stock, one using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. Before embossing the other, crop flowers from the panel using dies from the Meadow Dies.  Adhere the Tasteful Textile panel to the Basic White card base.  Cut a portion of the Timber Embossed panel giving it the shape it has in the photo. .  Pop this panel over the Tasteful Textile panel using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Create ink splatter over the panel using Blackberry Bliss ink.

On a panel of Basic White card stock stamp the large bouquet of flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Quite Meadow Stamp Set using Tuxedo Memento Black ink.  Color the flowers using a Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Marker.  Fussy cut the flowers for later use.  Bows are made from Blackberry Bliss Stripe Ribbon and Linen Thread and popped on the bottom of the flowers using a glue dot.

The flowers that were cropped from the Basic White panel before the panel was embossed using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder, color using Pumpkin Pie, Blackberry Bliss, Shaded Spruce, Soft Succulent and the Color Lifter Stampin’ Blends Marker.  After coloring pop the flowers back into the negative space.  Pop Mat Black Dots in the center of the Pumpkin Pie and Blackberry Bliss flowers.  Stamp the greeting in Blackberry Bliss ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock and crop using a die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  Pop in the upper corner using a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.

The sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration’s Host Set In Your Words is stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink on a panel of Basic White card stock.  I really like the sentiments in this stamp set, I am sure I will be using it often.  You can have it free by placing any party or personal order over $300.   Flowers are stamped and colored using a Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blends Marker.  Ink splatters are put around the flowers.

Strips of Regal and Brights 2021-2023 6″ x 6″ DSP are added to the envelope flap in the colors of the flowers on the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer Hello There

Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer Hello There

Good Thursday morning stampers and non-stampers.  If you aren’t a stamper and happen upon my blog, I hope you enjoy and find the inspiration to create your own card.  Card-making is a calming and inspiring time.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer Stamp Set and the Sale-A-Bration Summer Shadow Dies (available August 3). I like the dies so much, hopefully, they will carry over to the next catalog, but probably not.

My design inspiration for today is from the TGIF challenge.  The color scheme is a CASE of Amy Koenders’ card.  You can see her card here.

I started with a Highland Heather card base, adding a panel of Hand Penned DSP over the card base.  Another panel of the DSP is cut in a triangle, a mat of Basic White is adhered to the panel then adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue over the lower portion of the card front.

Using a flower die from the Summer Shadows Dies three flowers are cropped from Highland Heather card stock.  Using the outline die for the flowers crop three of the outlines.  Crop the main part of the leaves from Mint Macaron card stock.  The out portion of the leaves is cropped using So Succulent card stock.  The flowers parts and the leaf parts are adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

After the flowers and leaves are adhered together, they are dry fit on the card front to see how to arrange them.  Once that is done,  a picture is taken so I can remember the arrangement.  The leaves are adhered using the Multipurpose Liquid Glue as are two of the flowers.  The flower in the middle is popped up using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Pastel Pearls are popped in the center of each flower. A label is cropped from a scrap of Basic White card stock using an Ornate Frame Dies.  A greeting from the Shaded Summer Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink.  The label is popped on the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A panel of Basic White card stock gets one of the flower outlines adhered to the corner of the panel.  The panel is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

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

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Thinking of You

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Thinking of You

Happy day after the July 4th Independence Day Celebration.  I hope everyone had fun–and food–fun with family and friends.  As for me, my heart and BP kept me great company.  I had to call my doctor and he was getting ready to run the Peachtree Road Race.  I’m surprised he heard the phone with all the noise I could hear in the background.  Happy I have a doctor, I can call any time, anywhere on his cell phone and he answers.  Called him once and he was in Peru.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Stamp Bundle along with a die from the Ornate Layers Dies.

My challenge for today is with The Sisterhood of Crafter — their theme for this challenge is Anything Goes.

I started with a Basic White card stock base.  A panel of black and white strips is matted on a panel of Crushed Curry card stock and adhered to one side of the card front.  A panel of Basic White card stock is cropped using one of the Ornate Layers Dies, then adhered over the black and white panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A flower is cropped from Basic White card stock using the Meadow Dies. The top part of the die is used to crop the flowers from a piece of the Ombre Specialty paper, it is adhered over the Basic White flowers.  The stem and leaves are colored using a Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Marker.

Black Mat Dots are popped on the center of the flowers and around the Basic White ornate panel after the flowers are adhered to the panel.  The greeting is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a small rectangle of Basic White card stock and tucked under the Ornate panel.

A panel of Basic White card stock gets flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow stamp set.  They are colored using So Saffron and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the DSP applied to the envelope flap.
