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

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

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.

Stampin’ Up! Pansy Dies Hello You Card

Happy 4th of July weekend. Do you have fun plans — picnic with lemonade, potato salad, fried chicken, strawberry cake, and watermelon. Growing up this was our typical 4th menu. The watermelon went in the creek to get cold while we ate lunch, later in the afternoon you got the watermelon which was always such a treat as a kid. Of course no ice for the lemonade, so when I order lemonade at Chick-Fil-A — no ice–now days, Chick-Fil-A can provide the chicken and lemonade, Publix the potato salad, and watermelon.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Pansy Dies and a greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer Stamp Set.

My inspiration is the sketch from the Fusion Card Challenge.

My card base is Soft Succulent card stock with a panel of the Evening Evergreen adhered to the base to become the mat for the Soft Succulent check panel. Also, cut another panel from a different DSP to create the banner across the top of the check pieces.

Crop pansy petals and leaves from a panel of Thick Basic White card stock. Color using a blending brush and Pale Papya ink and Evening Evergreen ink. Use Calypso Coral to outline the edges of the petals. Color the center of the pansy using a Black Stampin’ Blends Marker.

Another pansy is cropped and colored for the inside panel on which the note will be written. It can be a birthday note for happy birthday, thinking of you, anniversary, sympathy, or whatever kind of note you want.

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

Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Friendship

Happy Friday, I think I just realized that I was a day ahead when I posted Thursday’s post. I was thinking today was Friday and it seemed that way all day. Do you have fun plans to celebrate July 4th? Do you and your family always go watch the fireworks? Fireworks are ok, but terrify babies, small children and dogs.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Friends of Friendship Stamp Set along with the Beauty of Friendship for the greeting and one of the sentiments. The other sentiment comes from the Stampin’ Up! Better Places Stamp Set. My card is a CAS(E) of one Amy Koender created.

My design for this challenge comes from the Paper Players Challenge.

The card base is Basic White card stock with a panel of Hand Penned DSP as the background for another panel of the same DSP.

Flowers from the Flowers of Friendship Stamp Set are stamped using Tuxedo Memento Black ink on Basic White card stock. The flowers and leaves are colored using Highland Heather, Polished Pink, and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. After I had fussy cut the flowers and leaves, I remembered there is a punch that goes with the stamp set. Guess I needed to practice my kindergarten skills. The greeting is from the Beauty of Friendship Stamp Set and is stamped on a cropped circle using Soft Succulent ink. The flowers are then arranged around the greeting using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Mini Glue Dots. Elegant Faceted Gems are popped in the center of each flower and two others popped around the flowers.

The sentiments from Flowers of Friendship and Better Places Stamp Sets are stamped in Soft Succulent ink on the Basic White panel. A different flower from the Flowers of Friendship Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink and colored using Highland Heather and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers.

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