Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflower You Inspire Me

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflower, Beauty of Friendship, and Free As A Bird Stamp Sets. The Meadow Moments Embossing Folder is used for the embossing.

My design is inspired by the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge. It is a sketch challenge. My occasion is the celebration of my sister being cancer-free for 12 years now.

I am also entering the challenge at The House That Stamps Built — their theme for this challenge is Think Pink in honor of breast cancer as October is Breast Cancer Month and I have a sister who is a survivor.

I started with a Basic White card stock base adding a panel of the same embossed using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder.

To create the Polished Pink sunflower, I dropped several drops of the Polished Pink ink from a refill bottle. I then added water using a Water Painter. I keep adding until I had the color of pink I wanted. I then place a panel of Watercolor paper over the watered-down ink, I then dried the ink using a heat tool, then dipped in the ink again. I kept doing this until I had the panel covered, dried it again with the heat tool and it was ready for stamping.

I first stamped the sunflower from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set using Polished Pink ink, then I stamped Versa Mark over it and sprinkled Clear Embossing Powder over it and heat embossed. Thankfully, I remembered there was a die for this, but on my first try of stamping, I fussy cut. The leaves and stems are cropped from Garden Green card stock. The greeting is stamped in Polished Pink ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock then fussy cut and popped on the card front. I colored a length of ribbon from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack using a Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends Marker and created the Breast Cancer Ribbon at the top of the card. Pearls Basic Jewels are added to the center of the sunflower.

A sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Free As A Bird Stamp Set is stamped in Polished Pink ink on the Basic White panel. A ribbon representing Breast Cancer is created using a scrap of the Whimsey & Wonder DSP. It has been embossed using the Timber 3-D embossing Folder, then popped on the panel using Glue Dots.

A Breast Cancer Ribbon is adhered to the medium white envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Forever Grapevine

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Forever Grapevine Stamp Set. I also used the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set for a greeting.

Design inspiration for today comes from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.

The card base is Basic White card stock with a panel of the same used to crop the two triangles using the Stitched Triangles Dies for each corner of the sketch design. The panel the triangles are cropped from is popped after having a greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set stamped in Highland Heather ink.

On the tringles, a grapevine from the Forever Grapevine Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink and colored using Granny Apple Green and Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends Markers. The triangles are popped back into the negative space left from the cropping using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Three pearls from the Pastels Pearls collection are popped around the greeting.

The Basic White sentiment panel has a sentiment from the Forever Grapevine Stamp Set stamped in Highland Heather ink. The grapevines in each corner are stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink and colored the same as the front panels. It is then adhered to the card base.

A medium Basic White envelope gets the envelope flap gets a grapevine stamped on the flap and colored.

Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer Love You Friend

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer Stamp Set along with the Scalloped Contour Dies, the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder, and the Timber Embossing Folder.

My inspiration for today’s card design is coming from the Just Us Girls Challenge. The theme is black and white. I believe everyone loves black and white cards, I know I do.

The card base is Basic White card stock embossed using the Timber 3-D Embossing Folder. Usually, I will emboss a separate panel instead of actually embossing the card base.

A panel of Basic Black card stock is cropped using the largest Scalloped Contour Dies. It is then embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3-D Embossing Folder. This panel is popped over the card base using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A flower from the Shaded Summer Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a panel of Basic White card stock. A greeting from the same stamp set is also stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink. Several Matt Black Dots are scattered randomly around the card front.

A sentiment from the Shaded Summer Stamp set along with the same flower from the card front is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink. The panel is then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of DSP adhered to the envelope flap. Did not realize it was not current until I got to this point in my blog.

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.

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!
