Stampin’ Up! Art in Bloom

Happy Friday! The weekend is here. I know a bunch of people who are so thrilled that this weekend is finally here. It is those SU demonstrators that are blessed to be going to Hawaii compliments of SU. Have fun and don’t overeat.😊

The card I am sharing today is created with the new Stampin’ Up! Art in Bloom Stamp Set. This set is a gift from one of our great upline – Amy Koenders. She and Mary Deatherage are the best, we are always getting little gifts and cards from them. They are always available with their support and help.

My design inspiration is from the Tuesday Morning Sketches. This is a great sketch.

My card base is Evening Evergreen one of the new 2021-2023 Incolors with a panel of the same embossed using the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder. This is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies is used to crop two Basic White card stock mats from the Hand Penned DSP, then adhered to two corners of the card front.

A panel of Basic White card stock is cut and matted with a panel of the Evening Evergreen card stock. This is adhered to the center of the card front over the two corner pieces.

A panel of Basic White card stock is embossed using the Bloom Embossing Folder. Flirty Flamingo ink is rubbed over the flowers on the embossing folder before embossing. Once embossed they are fussy cut and the center are colored using a Dark So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Marker. Leaves are cropped from Evening Evergreen card stock and Hand Penned DSP using a leaf die from the Bloom Dies. The flowers and leaves are arranged and popped on the Basic White panel with Linen Thread wrapped around under the flowers a few times. A Ladybug trinket is popped on a flower using Glue Dots. A dragonfly from the Dragonfly Garden DSP is fussy cut and popped on the panel with the flowers.

A panel of Basic White card stock gets a flower and leaves from the Art in Bloom Stamp Set stamped in Flirty Flamingo and Soft Succulent ink stamped in the corner.

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

Stampin’ Up! Brilliant Wings

Happy middle of the week day! Can you believe it is already that time? Time flies when you are having fun. Making cards is always fun.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Brilliant Wings Dies and the True Love DSP. It makes for a beautiful card combining the two.

My color inspiration today is compliments of The Paper Players Challenge.

I used Smoky Slate card stock as the card base with a panel of the same embossed using the Brick & Mortar Embossing Folder. The embossed panel is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut a piece from the True Love DSP, matted it on Real Red card stock, and adhered over the embossed panel vertically. The oval that the Thinking of You is stamped on is from my stash so it may have been created using a retired product long ago. I have quite a stash so you will probably see more in other posts.

Roses from another panel of the True Love DSP are colored using Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers and the Basic Gray Watercolor pencil. The leaves look silver instead of gray, don’t you think, but it makes it very pretty. I may just have to make another card using these color combinations. After coloring, they are popped over the oval using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The Basic Black card stock butterfly is cropped using one of the dies from the Brilliant Wings Dies. It is popped over the edge of the oval using a Glue Dot.

The inside panel gets roses colored with the same markers and a butterfly using a Brilliant Wings Dies.

The medium Basic White envelopes get a panel of the same DSP as on the card front added to the flap.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Moments with True Love

It is a rainy day in Georgia! Hopefully, Sunday will be sunny and warm. Today is a chilly one. Any plans for the next two days. Thank you to the people who work weekends to make my life easier and safer.

Easy card today, but it sure is taking me a long time to get to my blog posting, I accidentally deleted my Stampin’ Up! folder with all my files of SU. Boy was I in a panic! I search on the internet and found how to recover it. I had it all saved on a Flash Drive. Do not ask how I did it all I know is I have my files again even if it did take me 5 hours to accomplish it. I even asked on our group page if anyone knew how to recover but no success, I guess all are like me and mostly know computer basics. What a relief.

My card features True Love DSP, Quite Curvy Stamp Set, and Beautiful Moments Stamp Set. I started with a Basic White card stock base with a panel of the same embossed using the Subtle Embossing Folder. After all the other element were popped on this embossed panel it was adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

My inspiration design comes from the My Favorite Things Challenge.

I cut a strip of the True Love DSP and adhered down the left side of the card front. A circle for the greeting was cropped using the Stitched Circle Dies. The greeting is from the Beautiful Moments Stamp Set. I colored flowers from the True Love DSP using Pineapple Punch, Pale Papya, and Mint Macaron. They were fussy cut as there are no dies for these beautiful flowers.

A bird from the Quite Curvy Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock and fussy cut, I know there are dies, but it was such a small piece. It is colored using the same markers as the flowers. A dragonfly is fussy cut from the Dragonfly Garden DSP and popped on the card front with two of the Holiday Rhinestones added to it. One of the rhinestones is also popped above the greeting.

More flowers from True Love DSP are colored and fussy cut and adhered to the sentiment panel.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the True Love DSP. The DSP matches the flowers on the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Ornate Style

Hello everyone, welcome to my blog today. I hope you enjoy my card today.

My design inspiration for today is the Sketch Saturday Challenge.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Ornate Style Stamp Set along with the Ornate Layers Dies.

I started with a Mint Macaron card stock base layering a panel of the new Fresh Freesia card stock (available May 4 to customers). It is cropped using the largest die from the Ornate Layers Dies. A panel of Ornate Garden DSP is layered over the Fresh Freesia card stock panel. A panel of Basic White is cropped using another Ornate Layers Dies and layered over the Ornate Garden DSP.

The large spray of flowers from the Ornate Style Stamp Set is stamped using Smoky Slate ink on a panel of Basic White Thick card stock, then colored using Stampin’ Blends Markers in Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather, Mint Macaron, and Blackberry Bliss. Linen Thread is looped around the card front a few times and the spray of flowers is popped over it using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Enjoy The Moment Stamp Set is stamped on a tag cropped using the Ornate Frame Dies. A bow from Linen Thread is tied onto the tag. Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels are placed around the card front and in the upper right corner of the Ornate Garden DSP.

The Basic White sentiment panel is left blank except for a strip of the Ornate Garden DSP.

A medium Basic White envelope gets poppies stamped on the flap and colored using the same Stampin’ Blends Markers as the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies are Flowers of Friendship

Happy Sunday everyone. I hope you are having a restful, peaceful day.

The Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies Stamp Set, and The Flowers of Friendship Stamp Set (available May 4 to customers) to create the card I am sharing with you today.

My design inspiration is from Addicted To Stamps – Birthdays is the theme.

The Fusion Card Challenge for the design. I reversed the card making it portrait instead of landscape. I used both the design and the theme of poppies. Poppies are special to me so I am happy to see a card using it and happy Stampin’ Up! gives us another stamp set with poppies.

And for color, Just Add Ink Challenge is perfect for my images.

I started with a Basic White card stock card base adding a panel of the same embossed using the Subtle Embossing Folder then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Glue. A greeting from the Here’s A Card Stamp Set (retiring) was stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink before embossing.

I stamped poppies using Tuxedo Memento Black ink on Basic White Thick card stock from two stamp sets, The Flowers of Friendship (available May 4 to customers) along with the current Painted Poppies. I am so happy it is carrying over to the next catalog.

I colored the poppies using Poppy Parade, Shaded Spruce and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. The 1-1/2″ Basic White squares with the poppies from Painted Poppies are matted on a strip of DSP adhering to the right side of the card front after coloring. The other poppies from both stamp sets are fussy cut after coloring and arrange in the Petal Pink pitcher. Some are popped on with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and some are adhered using Glue Dots.

A greeting from the Prettiest Birthday Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a panel of Basic White that has poppies stamped and colored across the bottom of the panel.

A medium Basic White envelope gets poppies stamped on the flap and colored using the same Stampin’ Blends Markers as the card front.
