Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lily Pad

January 8, 2020 admin

Happy Wednesday Morning! Or it may be afternoon in your part of the world so Good Day! In today’s post, I’ll be featuring the new Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lily Pad Stamp Set and Dies, available in the new Sale-A-Bration Catalog when you purchase the qualifying amounts.

I am choosing to play in several challenges today–

Always Fun Challenges — Something New– I am using new stamps and dies from the current Sale-A-Bration Catalog.

Dream Valley Challenges — Something New — New stamps and dies for me.

Make My Monday — Anything But Square–

Sweet Stampin’ Challenge — New Stash

Start with a Stampin’ Up! Bermuda Bay card stock card base, add a layer the same color that is embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Basket Weave 3-D Embossing Folder. I reversed the design on the panel to use what is considered the backside of the embossed panel.

A panel from Stampin’ Up! Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper is matted with a panel of Stampin’ Up! Melon Mambo card stock that has been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder. It is then popped on the card front using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I will call them flourishes, three are cropped from Melon Mambo card stock and two are adhered to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. A flower is stamped on a portion of the Lily Impression DSP and then cropped using the die from the Lily Pad Dies. It is popped over the top flourish using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Leaves are added to the flower and are from my stash of cropped leftovers, I believe these leaves are from the Stampin’ Up! Poppy Moment Dies. Sequins from the Stampin’ Up! Adhesive Backed Sequins are randomly placed around the card front. The greeting is from Stampin’ Up! Sending You Thoughts Stamp Set (a Sale-A- Bration item free with qualifying purchase). It is stamped on a scrap of Whisper White card stock and fussy cut the shape of the stamp. It is popped over the flourish at the bottom using Stampin’ Up! Glue Dots.

The sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sending You Thoughts Stamp Set is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Melon Mambo ink on a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock panel. The third flourish is adhered at the bottom of the panel.

In finishing, a panel from the Lily Impressions DSP is adhered to the envelope flap using Liquid Glue.

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! Beautiful Moments

January 7, 2020 admin

Good Morning! Or it may be afternoon in your part of the world so Good Day! In today’s post, I’ll be featuring the new Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Moments Stamp Set, available in the new January-June2020 Mini Catalog. I have several of this type stamp from years past and really like to use them, tho’ they are long retired. I consider them collector items they are so old.

My inspiration comes from the Allsorts Challenge today. The theme is Soft Pastels.

Start with a Stampin’ Up! Seaside Spray card stock card base, add a layer the same color that is embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Pinewoods Plank Embossing Folder.

Crop a Whisper White panel using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Rectangle Dies. I believe I used the 2nd largest one. On this panel stamp the images from Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Moments Stamp Set in Stampin’ Up! Smoky Slate ink. To speed up the process dry using your heat tool. Color your images using Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen. The greeting is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink and is from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tropical Stamp Set. Pop on the card base using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals. Your card front is finished. Now on to the inside.

The sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Moments Stamp Set is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Old Olive ink as is the flowers at the bottom of the Stampin’ Up! Whisper White panel.

Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies

January 6, 2020 admin

Can you believe it is already January 6, 2020? Time flies when you are having fun or so the saying goes! Welcome to this chilly Monday morning, hope your day is already going super and that you have a fantastic day.

The card I am sharing today is from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Poppies Suite. I used the Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies for the stamping and both the Stampin’ Up! Poppy Moment Dies and the Stampin’ Up! Painted Label Dies in my creation. It is a CAS(E) on the one displayed on page 26 of the Stampin’ Up! January-June 2020 Mini Catalog.

My inspiration for challenges comes from the Seize the Birthday – Layer It Challenge.

And …

Die-Cut-Divas – Something New. I am using new dies never before used.

And…

Dragonfly Dreams – Anything Goes

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Grape card stock.

A panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock was cut. A label die from the Stampin’ Up! Poppy Moments Dies is used to crop the label. After cropping the label, the frame is embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. The greeting is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink and will be placed back in the spot it was cropped from as soon as the poppies and leaves are added to the panel.

The poppies and leaves that are colored are from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies Stamp Set and are stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Thick Whisper White card stock and then cropped using the dies from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Label Dies. The poppies are colored using Stampin’ Up! Highland Heather ink and Real Red ink and a Blender Pen for the red one.

The sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on the Stampin’ Up! Whisper White panel. A Happy Birthday is added from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthday Stamp Set. A poppy is added in the corner.

Stampin’ Up! Sneak Peak Peaceful Poppies

December 30, 2019 admin

Just a few days and you will no longer be getting messages Sneak Peak (available January 3). The time is soon here –4 days after today! Are you getting excited to finally being able to order from the new Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalog? There are many beautiful products. I am previewing one of them today. The Peaceful Poppy Suite.

The inspiration for this challenge comes from the Fab Friday Challenge —

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock with a background panel of the same that has been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder. This panel is then adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue.

In creating the frame for the art piece 3 frames from Whisper White card stock and one from the Peaceful Poppy DSP were cropped using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Rectangle Dies. These were adhered together using Liquid Glue. By using 4 frames to create this, it gives the frame dimension and looks better than just a flat frame adhered to the card front.

The art piece is stamped on a panel of Whisper White card stock that has been cropped using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Rectangle Dies. The poppies from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies Stamp Set (available January 3) is then stamped on the panel using Tuxedo Memento Black ink and then colored using Stampin’ Up! Light Poppy Parade and Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. The greeting is from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Moments Stamp Set (available January 3). Three Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Poppies Sequins are randomly placed on the card front.

The sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Flourishing Phrases Stamp Set and is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink. The poppy is from the Painted Poppies Stamp Set and is also stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink and colored using the same markers that were used in coloring the art piece.

A poppy from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies Stamp Set was stamped in the lower corner of my envelope using Tuxedo Memento Black ink and two Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blends Markers. I used Light Poppy Parade and Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blends to color.

In finishing my card, I gave the Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Poppies DSP.

Stampin’ Up! Tropical Oasis Sneak Peek

November 27, 2019 admin

Happy Wednesday folks is everyone ready for tomorrow’s feast. We will have two as we eat with both sons. As you and your family sit down to enjoy your Thanksgiving dinner remember all the men and women who will not be enjoying Thanksgiving with their families. The military, many of whom are far from home and may not receive a Thanksgiving mean. The police have to be on duty to try and keep us safe and order to the chaos that happens daily on our streets. The nurses who have hospital duty this year. They are there maybe even taking care of one of your loved ones while theirs are left at home to eat without them. Say a prayer of Thanksgiving for all of them.

The card I am sharing today is created from one of the new products that will be available on January 3, 2020. It is the Stampin’ Up! Tropical Oasis Memories and More Card Pack. This makes for a quick and easy card when you need one in a hurry.

The challenge I am playing today is called A Bit More Time To Craft Challenge that’s what we all want more and hope for time to make cards.

Pop a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper on a Stampin’ Up! Old Olive card stock base using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add the small card from the Stampin’ Up! Memories and More Card Pack and add a few sequins for a little bling and your card is finished. Simple and easy!
