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!

Stampin’ Up! Positive Thoughts with Parisian Blossoms

Stampin’ Up! Positive Thoughts with Parisian Blossoms

Good morning all on this chilly Friday in Georgia!  What are your plans for the weekend?  Fun and relaxation? Reading a good book and enjoying an extra cup of Earl Grey tea–or coffee?  I once was a big coffee drinker–but a health challenge stopped that enjoyment.  Funny I can drink tea but not coffee.  Well, that’s enough on the weather forecast for today and tea or coffee.

The card today features the Stampin’ Up! Positive Thoughts Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper.  Quite a combination, would you not say?

I believe I have two challenges today that I draw inspiration from — The Sisterhood of Crafters — with a theme of  Patterned Paper

And…

Tuesday Morning Sketches with this lovely sketch.

Start with a Stampin’ Up! Pool Party card stock base, add a layer of the same embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder.  Add a layer of the Stampin’ Up! Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper with the Pool Party portion cropped using a dies from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Be Mine Dies.

Fussy cut a cluster of blossoms from the Parisian Blossoms DSP and pop on the Pool Party portion of the card front.  Add a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Baker’s Twine bow popped on with a Stampin’ Up! Glue Dot.  Add three Stampin’ Up! Adhesive Backed Sequins and a greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Positive Thoughts Stamp Set and your card front is finished.

The sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Positive Thoughts Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on the Whisper White card stock panel.  A cluster of blossoms is adhered at the bottom of the panel.

Give the Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope flap a panel of the Parisian Blossoms DSP and your project is finished.

Stampin’ Up! Flowering Foils

Stampin’ Up! Flowering Foils

Hello everyone, it looks like it will be another soggy day in Georgia!  Don’t you just love me giving the weather forecast?

The card today is created using the Flowering Foils Designer Series Paper, a product of the 2nd release of Sale-A-Bration, Stampin’ Up! Well Said Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Forever Lovely Stamp Set.  This card is similar to one I have made recently, someone wanted to know what it would look like if it had a black card base and the colors I have used.  Now we know!

My inspiration for today comes from the Joy of Sets Challenge.  I chose watercolor, embossing, and floral.

Start with a Stampin’ Up! Basic Black card stock base, add a panel of the same card stock embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Stone 3D Embossing Folder matted on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock.   Adhere to the base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

One focal panel is cut from Stampin’ Up! 6″ x 6″ 2018-2020 Incolor Designer Series Paper and the other is cut from Stampin’ Up! Old Olive card stock that has been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Scripty 3D Embossing Folder.  A Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Craft Inkpad is lightly rubbed over the embossing so the scripty embossing will show up more. They are both matted on a Whisper White mat.  The Stampin’ Up! Stitched So Sweetly Die is used to crop the label panel for the greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Well Said Stamp Set and for the flower to be popped onto.  Stampin’ Up! Rhinestone Basic Jewels are colored using a Stampin’ Up! Dark Lovely Lipstick Stampin’ Blends Marker then popped on the label.

The blossom is watercolored using Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lipstick and Old Olive Classic Stamp Pads and an Aqua Painter. Drag your stamp pads over a piece of aluminum foil and add water from your Aqua Painter.  I have found this the easiest method when watercoloring.  I have also used a mirror to do the same.  I even colored a length of the Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Polka Tulle Ribbon, you can see it behind the Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Baker’s Twine wrapped around the card.  A triple loop bow is made and popped on the blossom using a Stampin’ Up! Glue Dot.

The sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Forever Lovely Stamp Set is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lipstick ink on a Whisper White panel.  Blossoms from the Stampin’ Up! Flowering  Foils Designer Series Paper are watercolored along with the blossom on the card front. 

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!

Happy, sunny Saturday everyone.  The sun is finally shining with no soggy day in sight! YaY!

The card I am featuring today is one of my favorite stamp sets of the Jan.-June 2020 Mini Catalog. It is the Beautiful Moments stamp set.  I’ve probably said it before that it is one of my favorites, but you can hear it again.

The design inspiration for today comes from the Fusion Card Challenge — Decor.  I am doing the sketch challenge.

And…

CraftyHazelnut’s Patterned Paper Challenge

Start with a card base of Stampin’ Up! Petal Pink card stock.

Add Stampin’ Up! Best Dressed 6′ x 6″ Designer Series Paper from two different designs.  I believe it is the same piece of DSP, just the reverse side.  Mat this on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Blackberry Bliss card stock, wrap a length of Stampin’ Up! Scalloped Lace Trim around the panel and tie in a bow and adhere to the Petal Pink card base.

Crop a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Rectangle Dies.  Stamp the lady from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Moments Stamp Set in Stampin’ Up! Smoky Slate ink onto the panel.  Color the artwork using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blends Markers in Light Old Olive, Light Granny Apple Green, Light Flirty Flamingo, Light Highland Heather, and Light Petal Pink.  Create the splash of blue using a Stampin’ Up! Balmy Blue Watercolor Pencil and an Aqua Painter.  Add three sequins from the Stampin’ Up! Adhesive Backed Sequins.  Stamp the greeting in Stampin’ Up! Old Olive ink on a Whisper White scrap and fussy cut, pop on the card front using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Your card front is finished.

Stamp the sentiment in Old Olive ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock matted on a panel of Blackberry Bliss card stock.  Add a panel of the Best Dressed DSP to the lower half of your sentiment panel.  Adhere to the card base.

A panel of Stampin’ Up! Best Dressed 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper is given to the Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope flap and your project for the day is complete.
