Stampin’ Up! Meant To Be

January 10, 2020 admin Comments 22 comments

Happy Friday Morning stamper and non-stampers that wish to become stampers! 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! Meant To Be Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Be Mine Dies, available in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog . I love creating cards using hearts.

I am choosing to play in two challenges today–

Time Out Challenge –Photo Inspiration

The Sisterhood of Crafter — Thinking of You — I am entering this for a second time as my card is a Thinking of You.

Start with a Stampin’ Up! Cherry Cobbler card stock card base, add a layer Whisper White card stock that is embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle 3-D Embossing Folder.

A panel from Stampin’ Up! Christmas Rose Designer Series Paper is matted with a panel of Stampin’ Up! Cherry Cobbler card stock. It is then popped on the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. A length of the gold ribbon from the Christmas Rose Suite is wrapped around the panel and tied in a loose bow!

The two hearts are cropped from Stampin’ Up! Cherry Cobbler card stock using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Be Mine Dies. They are adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Basic Rhinestone Jewels are colored using a Stampin’ Up! Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends Marker . The greeting is from Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Stamp Set and is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Cherry Cobbler ink in the lower corner of the Whisper White panel.

The sentiment panel has no sentiment for now, but has a big heart cropped from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Be Mine Dies that will outline the sentiment once one is chosen. Two small hearts from the Stampin’ Up! Meant To Be Stamp Set are stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink below the big heart.

In finishing, a panel from the Christmas Rose 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! Lovely Lily Pad

January 8, 2020 admin Comments 8 comments

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.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Moments

January 7, 2020 admin Comments 8 comments

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 Comments 11 comments

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.
