Stampin Up! Rustic Retreat with Magnolia Lane
I hope everyone is having a nice restful Sunday, enjoying the cool Autumn air and that maybe you had time yesterday or will today visit some of the Fall Festivals that happen this time each year. I went to the park for my usual walk yesterday and was stopped at the gate, the lady said you are welcome to come in and walk but you will have to go find a parking space some other place, so that was it for a walk in the park along the river.
My card today is the other card of the challenge from yesterday. There are always two cards for this challenge. The challenge is with Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.
The Stampin’ Up! Petal Pink card base is square with a background panel from Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper.
The two panels with the Magnolia Lane DSP showing the magnolias are matted on panels of Petal Pink card stock. The greeting from Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat Stamp Set is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow ink on a panel of Petal Pink that I cut into an oval. It may not be a perfect oval but I did not have a skinny oval so I created one. It is matted on a panel of Mossy Meadow card stock as is the other magnolia panel.
Two of the magnolias on the panel on the left are part of the DSP, the middle magnolia has been fussy cut and popped between the two magnolias using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals and a small bow is adhered using a Glue Dot. The magnolia at the bottom of the greeting oval has been fussy cut, popped on and a bow adhered with a Stampin’ Up! Glue Dot. I trimmed around the edge of the magnolia at the top of the greeting oval so it would hang over the oval just a bit.
The inside sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Strong and Beautiful Stamp Set and is stamped in Mossy Meadow on a Whisper White label from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Label Dies that has been matted on a panel of the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper. A magnolia fussy cut from a panel of the DSP is adhered in the right corner and on the label.
In finishing, I gave a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Lane DSP and magnolias on the 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.

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Daisy Lane Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper. This is a lovely card and I am sure you can find many on Pinterest that are similar, if I have CAS(E)d anyone card, thank you for creating it so I could see it and maybe use parts of it in creating mine. I looked after I made mine and there are many, many cards using this DSP. They are all so beautiful.
After cutting the circle, I placed it aside for the moment and placed the negative portion left, over my panel of Whisper White card stock. Using a Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Sponge and Stampin’ Up! So Saffron ink I sponged inside the circle creating a large moon. Finishing with the moon, I pulled the moon mask from the card front and using the circle I had cut out, I placed the circle over the sponged moon.
Using the branch die from the Stampin’ Up! Silhouette Scenes Bundle, I cropped the tree, to make the tree trunk longer, I did not place my cutting plate over the entire tree branch die, so it would only cut a portion of the tree branch. After cutting the branch with the die, I drew a tree trunk on the Basic Black card stock and fussy cut it—thus extending the tree trunk.
I placed the tree branch on the art panel over the moon so I would know where to stamp my little girl, using the little girl stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Silhouette Scenes Bundle I stamped the image at the bottom of the panel as if she was standing on the ground. Now that the art panel is finished it can be adhered to the Stampin’ Up! Basic Black card stock base using Stampin’ Up! Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Now that the image is stamped, I can adhere the tree branch using Multipurpose Glue. I stamped the greeting in the lower corner of the art panel again using Tuxedo Memento Black ink.
Happy Friday everyone, many have a three day weekend and I am sure you are planning a fun time since there is an extra day. This weekend is like the official end of summer and everyone is thinking of the long usually school year ahead. I know many schools do not start until the day after Labor Day, as it should be. Children do not need to go to school in the hot of summer. I think the school system here started the last week of July. That is much too early. The school I worked at for 9 years starts the day after Labor Day. That’s enough lamenting about the school systems. Have a glorious weekend as you relax and have fun with family and friends.
The card I am sharing today is one I haven’t used before, I’ve picked it up, looked at it and put it back on the shelf, so I thought it was time to give it a try. It is the Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles Stamp Set. I have seen so many pretty cards made using it.
My card starts with a Stampin’ Up! Sahara Sand card stock base. Next up is a Stampin’ Up! Pretty Peacock card stock mat for the focal panel which is a panel of Stampin’ Up! Woven Threads Designer Series Paper cropped using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Rectangle Dies. These are adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
The Woven Threads DSP panel being the focal panel is stamped using Stampin’ Up! Pretty Peacock ink and the Stamping’ Up! Very Versailles Stamp Set. Once stamped, a circle die from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Shapes Dies is used to cut a circle from the panel. This circle will be added back to the opening using Stampin’ Up! Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals once the 1″ strip of the Woven Threads DSP is partially adhered over the opening of the circle.
A bow is made using Stampin’ Up! Linen Thread. It is adhered using a Stampin’ Up! Mini Glue Dot. A single butterfly to give just a pop of color to the card is punch from a scrap of the Woven Threads DSP and popped on the circle using a Glue Dot.
The greeting is added in the left corner of the panel using Stampin’ Up! Sahara Sand ink and a stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Around The Corner Stamp Set. I like this stamp set and have cut other stamps apart to achieve the same effect as this stamp set gives. I store these stamps along with this set so I will know where they are when needed for a card. Three Adhesive Backed Sequins are placed randomly around the card front.
The inside sentiment panel is Stampin’ Up! Very Vanilla card stock matted on a panel of the Pretty Peacock card stock and stamped with stamps from the Very Versaille Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock ink.
The envelope flap has been given a panel of the Woven Threads DSP. It coordinates with the strip on the card front.
I think the card I am sharing today turned out lovely. I thought it was going to be one of those blah! cards but no it isn’t.
The card base is Whisper White, the mat embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder is Whisper White, the lace panel cut using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Lace Dies is Whisper White. 
The rose is stamped on a 3″ square of Whisper White using Stampin’ Up! Cherry Cobbler ink and the rose stamp from the Stampin’ Up! To A Wild Rose Stamp Set. The first stamping is full strength, the second is stamped off once to get the lighter color. The berry branch is stamped using Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake ink and using a stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Toile Christmas Bundle. Stampin’ Up! Cherry Cobbler and Pear Pizzazz inks are used along with a Stampin’ Up! Blender Pen to color the berries and leaves.
