Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden

Happy Monday.  Have a great week.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set, the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder, Stitched So Sweetly Dies, and Stampin’ Blends Markers.   I was looking on Pinterest for a Fun Fold card and I found this one created by Melissa’s Crafting Treehouse.

I chose the daisies and the bees from the Card Concept Challenge as my theme for my card today.

The card base is So Saffron card stock with a panel of the same embossed using the Tasteful Texture Embossing Folder.  The embossed panel is adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Cut the following.

  • So Saffron Card Base — 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
  • So Saffron card stock Embossed Panel — 4″ x 5-1/4″
  • Mossy Meadow card stock–Fun Fold — 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 3″, 5-1/2″, 8″ and 9-1/2″  Adhere a length of ribbon colored using a So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Marker.
  • Very Vanilla card stock — 3-1/8″ x 4-1/8″  Use Stitched So Sweetly Dies to crop this panel
  • Dandy Garden DSP — 3-1/2″ x 4-1/2″
  • Dandy Garden DSP – back of art panel — 2″ x 3″
  • Very Vanilla card stock for a single stamp of flowers — 1-1/4″ x 4-1/8″
  • Very Vanilla card stock sentiment panel — 2-1/4″ x 4-1/8″
  • Dandy Garden DSP — 2-1/4″ x 4-1/8″″
  • Very Vanilla Inside Panel — 2-1/4″ x 4-1/8″

Stamp the flowers from the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set in Smoky Slate ink.  Color the flowers in So Saffron, Granny Apple Green, Highland Heather, and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers.

The sentiment on the first panel with a sentiment comes from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set.  It was too long for the panel so I stamped it in Tuxedo Memento Black ink and cut the line apart and placed it on the panel in a zig-zag design, adding three bees.

A panel of Dandy Garden DSP is adhered to the first panel above.  A bee and dragonfly are fussy cut and popped on the panel.  The Very Vanilla card stock panel with the sentiment from the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink. The flowers are stamped from the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set also and colored using the same Stampin’ Blends Markers.

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

Stampin’ Up! Because I Care

Stampin’ Up! Because I Care

Happy Sunday, I hope you are having a blessed day.  We are blessed to get to attend a most important graduation — our great daughter’s pre-school graduation.  You know how important those are!    I didn’t get to share a card with you before I attended that all-important graduation.  I started before we left to try to get this finished, but one thing after another prevented it.  I am finally getting to share.

This is a vintage stamp set so if you desire to re-create this card, you can use the Hydrangea Haven Stamp Set.  You can see the Because I Care Stamp Set below in the product used to create this card.

My design inspiration is from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.  

My card base is Basic White card stock with a panel of the same embossed using the Subtle Embossing Folder.  The embossed panel is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A strip of Basic White card stock is cut and using paper snips flagged at one end.  It is then matted on a Highland Heather card stock using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Thinking of you is stamped in Highland Heather ink and the strip is embossed using the Subtle Embossing Folder and adhered to the card front.

An image from the Because I Care Stamp Set is stamped in Highland Heather ink on a panel of Basic White card stock. It is stamped in two parts, first the hydrangea in Highland Heather ink and the leaves in Soft Succulent ink.  I fussy cut the hydrangea and popped on the flagged strip.  Three 2021-2023 In Color Jewels are randomly placed around the flagged strip.

A hydrangea from the Hydrangea Hill DSP is fussy cut and adhered to the corner of a Basic White card stock panel.  it is then adhered inside the card.

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

Stampin’ Up! Art in Bloom

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

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

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.
