Stampin’ Up! Born To Shine

Stampin’ Up! Born To Shine

Good morning stampers and non-stamper, blog lovers and all.  We’re headed toward the weekend, just a day away, can you believe–seems it was just here.  Why is time flying so fast?

The card for today features the Stampin’ Up! Born To Shine Stamp Set for the artwork and Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat for the sentiment.

The inspiration for the design comes from the Stella Says Sketch SSS 805

And…

Addicted To Stamps — Photo Inspiration.  The ballerinas are like tulips swaying in the breeze.

Start with a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock base. Add a layer of Stampin’ Up! See A Silouhette Designer Series Paper for the background. To the left side crop a small panel of Whisper White card stock with a die from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Be Mine Dies, punch a strip of the See A Silhouette DSP using the Braided Border Punch.  Adhere this piece to the opposite side of the Whisper White panel that was cropped.  Adhere the Whisper White panel to the background panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue as you did the other pieces adhered.

Using Tuxedo Memento Black ink stamp the ballerinas from the Stampin’ Up! Born To Shine Stamp Set on a panel of Whisper White.  To get both of the end ballerinas pointing to the one in the middle, reverse (I guess that what it is called, I do anyway) stamping is used.  Stamp the spray of stars also.  Color the ballerinas using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blends Markers in  Light & Dark Rococo Rose, Call Me Glover, Balmy Blue, Calypso Coral, Mango Melody, and Crumb Cake. Cut out sections of the Whisper White panel for the background to show through.  

Pop the art piece onto the background panel using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The greeting is also from the Born To Shine Stamp Set and is stamped on a scrap of Whisper White card stock and fussy cut to the shape of the greeting.  It is then popped on the card front using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Scatter Stampin’ Up! Basic Rhinestone Jewels around the card front.

A panel of See A Silhouette DSP is adhered inside to the card base and an art piece and sentiment are adhered over the panel.  The sentiment panel is cropped using a die from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched So Sweetly Dies. The sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink.

A Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope gets a panel of the See A Silhouette DSP added to the panel.

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew March Blog Hop — Spring

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew March Blog Hop — Spring

Here we are again, the second Tuesday of the month and time for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop.  Our theme this month is ‘Spring” and we can interpret any way we choose. There’s a group of talented ladies in this hop so be prepared for awesome creations.

This card is a CAS of Bronwyn Eastley’s creation.  You can see hers by clicking on her name.  Since this is a CAS of her card, I will let you get instructions on making from her site.  I want to make another with this stamp set now that I have made the first one.  I have made Z-folds before but not one as detailed as this stamp set.

Another angle of the card.

My inspiration for today’s challenge comes from the Fusion Card Challenge — the photo colors inspired me.

A close-up of the card.

This is the card closed.  It fits in a regular envelope.

You’ve seen my card, I hope you’ll take a little time to hop on through all the other projects we have to share.  You will find much talent. You can click any name below, or you can use the Previous Blog button to jump back to Mary’s page or the Next Blog button to see what Jaimie has for you.  You can also click on each of the names and hop around that way. Have fun Hopping!!

Stampin’ Up! Meant To Be

Stampin’ Up! Meant To Be

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Meant To Be Stamp Set.  This set is one of hearts, so you are probably thinking Valentines Day has passed.  It makes for great shamrocks.  It also features the Stampin’ Up! Country Club Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder.

My challenge inspiration today is the {Mojo Monday} Challenge.

Start with a Stampin’ Up! Garden Green card stock base.  Add a layer of the same embossed in the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder.

Cut or crop the layers according to the size at the end of the post.  Emboss the Whisper White panel using the Stampin’ Up! Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder.  Layer them according to the photo.   Add Stampin’ Up! Nobel Rhinestone jewels and your card front is finished.

No sentiment for the inside yet as I haven’t decided.

Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lily

Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lily

Happy Weekend everyone, tho’ it is almost in the history books.  I hope it has been a fun and restful time.

The card for today features the Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lily Pad Stamp Set and the Lily Pad Dies.  I have several sets and even gave one to a friend.  I thought when choosing, why not it is something that can be sold later when Sale-A-Bration is over and stampers start looking for it.  The end of Sale-A-Bration for 2020 is only 23 days away, so place your orders to get these great free items in the two Sale-A-Bration brochures.  The Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper is used as the focal panel.

Challenge inspirations for today are from Dragonfly Dreams Challenge

And…

Wordart Wednesday — Anything Goes

The Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock art panel is cropped using a die from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  The flower is cropped from Whisper White card stock and Stampin’ Up! Lily Impressions DSP using the dies from Stampin’ Up! Lily Pad Dies.  The Whisper White is adhered to the Melon Mambo card stock using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  It is then popped on the leaves using Stampin’ Up! Glue Dots and onto the Whisper White panel using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The focal panel from the Lily Impressions DSP is cropped using the long die from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Be Mine Dies.  I turned it so it would be inverted scallops instead of the usual way it would be placed on the card stock. It had to be cropped on all 4 sides as the dies is just one long piece.  You can see it in the Products Used List at the end of this post.

A Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Baker’s Twine double loop bow is popped on the leaf with a Glue Dot.  Three Stampin’ Up! Noble Peacock Rhinestones are scattered randomly around the art panel.  The greeting is from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set.  The stamp says Easter Blessings, I masked the Easter so it would only say Blessings.

The sentiment is from  Power of Hope Stamp Set one of the Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration items.  It is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a Whisper White card stock panel that has been embellished with a flower from the Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lily Pad Stamp and Die Sets.

A Whisper White envelope receives a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper (free with $50 purchase) to the envelope flap and your project is finished.

Stampin’ Up! Free As A Bird

Stampin’ Up! Free As A Bird

Happy Saturday or you may hear many people say Happy Saur-de.  I can hear them saying it but I do not know how they spell it!  Have a great weekend!

The card I am featuring today is from the Stampin’ Up! Free As A Bird Stamp Set.  Surely this set will carry over into the next catalog.  I think it should be there forever like the Lovely As A Tree Stamp Set.  Yes! I am still whining that it is gone.

There are several challenges today that inspired me.  I will try to list alphabetically.  

Color Throwdown — color challenge

Creative Knockouts — Lots of Layers

Make My Monday Challenge — In The Pink

Watercooler Wednesday–WWC261 – Kath’s Challenge: Anything Goes With a Feminine Twist.


There are seven layers to this card starting with the Stampin’ Up! Pool Party card stock base with a panel of the same embossed with the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder.  Next comes a panel of Stampin’ Up! Perennial Essence Vellum Cardstock next is a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper.  That gives you three layers.  The art panel with the image from the Stampin’ Up! Free As A Bird Stamp Set is stamped on a circle cropped from the Stampin’ Up! Layering Circles Dies.  The birds are colored using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blends Markers in Light and Dark Seafoam Spray, Light and Dark Daffodil Delight, Light and Dark Flirty Flamingo, Light and Dark Balmy Blue, Light and Dark Crumb Cake, and Light and Dark Old Olive markers.

 The art piece is layered on a stack of layering circles that have been cropped from the Bird Ballad DSP, Pool Party card stock and Petal Pink card stock.  Three pearls are added to the art piece and a small Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Baker’s Twine bow is popped on the edge of the art piece.  The greeting is from the Stampin’ Up! Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set and is cropped using one of the Stampin’ Up! Ornate Frame Dies.

The sentiment is from  Tags in Bloom Stamp Set one of the Stampin’ Up! 2nd Release of Sale-A-Bration items.  It is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a Whisper White card stock panel that has been embellished with a panel of the Stampin Up! Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper (DSP).

A Whisper White envelope receives a panel of the Bird Ballad DSP to the envelope flap and your project is finished.

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!
