Stampin’ Up! True Love

Stampin’ Up! True Love

I hope everyone had a Happy Easter and you can you didn’t sneak any candy eggs or peeps out of someone’s basket.  Did you make a Peeps cake?  Haven’t seen one of those for many years.

My card today features the True Love DSP with a little help from the February Paper Pumpkin -Bouquet of Hope leftovers.

My design inspiration is from the Paper Players Challenge

Start with a Blackberry Bliss card stock base. Adhere a Basic White card stock panel over the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue Emboss a panel of Rococo Rose card stock using the Ornate Floral 3-D Embossing Folder.  Cut the panel diagonally after embossing.

Adhere the embossed panel over the Basic White card stock, then adhere the Paper Pumpkin panel over the embossed panel.  Stamp the greeting onto the Basic White card stock using Blackberry Bliss ink.  Color the True Love DSP flowers using Rococo Rose and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers.  Fussy cut the flowers and pop on the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Add three of the sequins from the Paper Pumpkin leftovers.

Stamp a sentiment from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set in Blackberry Bliss ink on a panel of Basic White card stock.  Add flowers to the corners of the panel and adhere to the inside card base.

The Basic White envelope flap gets a panel of the True Love DSP.

Stampin’ Up! Free As A Bird

Stampin’ Up! Free As A Bird

 Up! Free Happy Easter weekend!  I hope you have fun celebrating with family and friends.

My card today features the Free As A Bird Stamp Set and the Friends Like You Stamp Set.

My inspiration for the design is the Inspire Create Challenge.  It is a great challenge to make a fun fold card.  The design is great for a gate fold card.

Mint Macaron card stock

  • Card base — 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 2-1/8″ on both ends of card stock

First Layer :  Pretty Peacock card stock

  • Mats for art piece, cut the following — (4) 2″ x 5-3/8″– Cut (1) 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ — Cut (1) 2-3/8″ x 4-1/2″

Second Layer on card front — Butterfly Bijou DSP — Cut (2) 1-7/8″ x 5-1/8″

Second Layer inside — Basic White card stock — 1-7/8″ x 5-1/8″ Cut (2) — 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″ Cut (1)– Color using Blending Brushes, Pool Party and Seaside Spray ink.

  • Basic White card stock — art piece on card front — 2-1/4″ x 4-3/8″

Stamp in Tuxedo Memento Black in an image from the Free As A Bird Stamp Set onto the Basic White card stock panel that has been colored.  Color the birds using Stampin’ Blends in Seaside Spray, Poppy Parade, So Saffron, and Crumb Cake.  Color the tree branch using Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends. Color the leaves using Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends and the blossoms in Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blends, retiring soon.  It would be nice if they were not because Rococo Rose is a nice pink.

Before cutting the art piece for the inside into three pieces, stamp the birds from the Free As A Bird Stamp Set and color using the same colors as the front is colored.  After coloring cut into the three pieces of sizes given above.  I left the inside free of a sentiment because I want to add three and have not decided on them, it will be who I decide to send the card as to the sentiments used.

Give a medium Basic White envelope a panel of the Butterfly Bijou DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Tranquil Thoughts Are Quite Curvy

Stampin’ Up! Tranquil Thoughts Are Quite Curvy

Happy Friday everyone, do you have great plans for the weekend? Or is it just a time to rest and relax and preparing for the coming week?  For me rest, sitting with an ill person all week is so tiring especially when you are an old person, but I would have it no other way.  Have a fun weekend whatever you choose to do.

My card today features two of my favorite stamp sets, Quite Curvy and Tranquil Thoughts.  This was an easy card to create, but I changed the design for the art piece three times before I was satisfied with how it looked. Have you ever had that happen?

My inspiration for today’s card is the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #412.

Start with a Basic White card stock base. Layer a panel of Basic White card stock embossed using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder to the card base using Multipurpose Glue.

Colorwash a panel of Basic White card stock using Seaside Spray ink and a Blending Brush.  These brushes make color washing so easy.  The ink seems to glide onto the card stock.  After coloring, cut three strips and mat using Night of Navy card stock.  Adhere to the embossed panel.

Crop an oval using the largest one from the Stitched Shape Dies. Stamp the garland of flowers from the Quite Curvy Stamp Set in Tuxedo Memento Black ink onto the oval.  Color using Rococo Rose and Granny Apple Green Stampin Blends Markers. Stamp a greeting from the Quite Curvy Stamp Set in Tuxedo Memento Black ink between the garlands on the oval.

Crop a Basic White card stock butterfly using a Brilliant Wings Die and color wash with Highland Heather ink.  Pop onto the oval.

The first oval I cropped ended up being too small for the card front so I am using it on the sentiment panel for the greeting.  The greeting is from the Tranquil Thoughts Stamp Set and is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink. Adhere the oval to the panel, then stamp using black ink the garland from the Quite Curvy Stamp Set above and below the oval. Color using Stampin Blends in the same color as the front.

The medium Basic White envelope flap gets a panel of Oh So Ombre DSP.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful World

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful World

Happy  Day, have a lovely weekend.

My card today features the Beautiful World Stamp Set.

My challenge inspiration design is from the Tuesday Morning Sketches

Start with Mossy Meadow card stock as the card base.  Picking a Mossy Meadow card from the World of Good Memories & More Card Pack.  Trim to the desired size. Mat using Basic White card stock, then adhere to the card base.  Pick another card from the World of Good Memories & More Card Pack. Trim to the desired size and mat on Night of Navy card stock.

   Make a faux mat using a scrap of Basic White card stock.  Adhere this panel over the Mossy Meadow panel.  Cut a strip of Night of Navy card stock and antique the edges by tearing the edge of the paper toward you as you tear it.  Stamp the greeting on a small strip of Crumb Cake card stock and do the edges the same as the Night of Navy strip.  Pop three stars from the Star Designer Elements over the Night of Navy strip.  Fussy cut one of the golden worlds from one of the cards in the World of Goods Memories & More Card Pack and mat on a circle of Night of Navy.

Stamp the sentiment in Night of Navy ink on a panel of Basic White card stock.  Stamp the world in Night of Navy ink using one of the world stamps from the Beautiful World Stamp Set.

Stampin’ Up! Forever Fern

Stampin’ Up! Forever Fern

Happy Monday, it is going to be a beautiful day, even if the dreaded pollen is being to appear.  That pollen will be with us for a while and it interferes with being outside.

Yesterday’s card featured the Forever Greenery DSP that comes with the Forever Fern Suite.  Today the stamp set Forever Fern is featured.  The greeting and sentiment are from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set.  I am hoping this Happy Thoughts set carries over to the next catalog.

My design inspiration is from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.

Start with a Basic White card stock base with a panel of the same cropped using the largest Stitched Rectangle Die and embossed using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.

Crop three rectangles using one of the smaller Stitched Rectangle Dies, then stamp three different images from the Forever Fern Stamp Set in Garden Green, Rich Razzleberry, and Pear Pizzazz ink.

A greeting from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set is stamped in Rich Razzleberry ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock and then cropped using one of the smallest Stitched Rectangle Dies.

A sentiment from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set is stamped in Pretty Peacock ink on a Basic White card stock panel.  An image from the Forever Fern Stamp Set is stamped in the upper left corner in Rich Razzleberry ink.  Look at the difference between the two images, It must be something with the camera that causes the one at the top to look this way.  Anyone know the cause let me know, please.

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