Stampin’ Up! Pretty Peacock

October 9, 2019 admin Comments 4 comments

Happy Wednesday everyone, it is finally getting cooler here in Georgia. I know you have been anxiously waiting for me to tell you that info!!

The card I am sharing with you today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Royal Peacock Stamp Set from the Stampin’ Up! Nobel Peacock Suite Bundle.

My inspiration for a challenge comes from Inspire. Create but I have changed the orientation of the layout design. I have made it portrait instead of landscape

This turned out to be a beautiful card I think. At the beginning I thought Oh! No! not again, one of those that I consider pure awful, but it turned out great.

The inside sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Royal Peacock Stamp Set and the greeting on the card front is from the same.

My Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope got a panel of the Perennial Essence DSP adhered to the flap.

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.

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew October Blog Hop–“Giving Thanks”

October 8, 2019 admin Comments 16 comments

Welcome! It’s that time — what time is that you ask! Time for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. Our theme for October is “Giving Thanks”. It is on the second Tuesday of each month. You can always find a group of talented ladies that make up a part of Amy’s Inkin’ Krew. Be sure you check out each person’s blog, you will find much talent and inspiration. You may even find that you would like to CAS(E) one of the cards. Will let’s begin, I know you are wanting to see all the awesome cards.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Colorful Seasons Stamp Set. I have had this set for a good long time and have only used it once or twice. While making this card, I realize this is a set that can be used for a variety of cards. The card base is Stampin’ Up! Pretty Peacock card stock. The Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock panel is embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder. This being a blog hop I am listing my card challenges at the bottom of this section.

Before embossing the tree from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Beauty Stamp Set was stamped in the center of the panel along with the greeting. Here is where I made a goof. I should have done the color wash and then stamped, but I stamped and then did the wash, so the ink on the trees and the greeting smeared and I thought I had destroyed the entire card and would have to start over as all the leaves had been popped on.

I found a remedy, don’t we always come up with something to cover a boo-boo? I did my color wash on a thick piece of card stock, dried with the heat tool, then stamped my tree. I fussy cut the piece and adhered it over the goof-up. You can barely tell it is there as most of the edges fit under the leaves. If I had not told you would have probably thought I meant to do the tree that way.

I’m ahead of the process though—I colored a panel of Whisper White thick card stock using different ink colors. You can see from the picture, where I stamped each other on my glass mat and then spritzed each color as I put the card stock over it to absorb the color. You can also tell by the color of the leaves and the envelope flap that I did not have enough on the first coloring so the second coloring is a bit different in color, even with using the same ink colors.

The leaves are popped on the Whisper White embossed panel using Stampin’ Up! Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set.

The inside sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Country Home Stamp Set is stamped in ‘Stampin’ Up! Pretty Peacock ink. An image from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Beauty Stamp Set is stamped in the lower corner of the sentiment panel.

My Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope flap got a panel of the watercolor panel that I created. A tree image was stamped in the right lower corner of the envelope front

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you liked my card. You can now click on the Next button and it will take you to Akiko Sudano’s blog or the Previous button and it will take you to Jaimie Babarczy’s blog or you can click on each name listed below and you will be taken to that person’s blog. Enjoy the beautiful cards of these talented ladies. Have a blessed day.

My challenges for today are with the Inkspiration Photo Challenge. All the colors of the pebbles in the water reminds me of the many colors of leaves in the Fall.

The Library Craft Challenge. The book is The Secret Garden. The bare trees make me think of how dead everything in the garden was and how it flourished with love and care then the beauty returned, just as Autumn leaves are beautiful with their many colors in the Fall.

Stampin Up! Rustic Retreat with Magnolia Lane

September 29, 2019 admin Comments 8 comments

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.

Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals with Daisy Lane

September 26, 2019 admin Comments 13 comments

Here we are again sharing a card with you! Hope your Thursday is going terrific and it is a wonderful sunny day where you are with Fall in the air.

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.

My challenges are with Make My Monday Challenge.

As you can see it is a color sketch and the flowers make me think of one of my favorite DSP’s of the Annual Catalog. When I decided to use the Pressed Petal DSP, at first I was afraid that I could not come up with how to get the Stampin’ Up! Calypso Coral color to go with the others, but as you can see from my card, the Calypso Coral color blends right in with the flowers. You would probably never believe that it is Calypso Coral just looking at it.

And…

The Sisterhood of Crafters– have friend or friendship in your sentiment.

Stampin’ Up! Rococo card stock is the card base with a mat of Stampin’ Up! Merry Merlot card stock for the background panel which is another panel from the Pressed Panel DSP.

The daisies, from the Stampin’ Up! Daisy Lane Stamp Set, are stamped in Stampin’ Up! Rococo Rose, Calypso Coral, and Blackberry Bliss ink. The leaves stamped in Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow ink is from the Stampin’ Up! Floral Essence Stamp Set. The Blackberry Bliss daisy is half stamped and half punching from Stampin’ Up! Blackberry Bliss card stock. My dyed twine did not turn out the color of Mossy Meadow but I used it, wrapping it around the card front twice and tying in a bow.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Merry Merlot on a Whisper White card stock panel and has a spray of leaves from Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles stamped in Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow ink that has been stamped off once.

In finishing, I gave a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope the remaining panel of the Pressed Petal DSP and fussy cut some of the flowers for the envelope front.

Now on to my card for the day.

The card I am sharing today is from the Stampin’ Up! Silhouette Scenes stamp set. Did not think when making the card that I had used the See A Silhouette DSP yesterday, just realized it when I started typing this–O’ well we shall endure!

The challenge I am entering today is a new one for me that stampin’ friend Karen Finkle introduced it to me. The challenge is to choose a book you like and use as the reference for your card. The challenge is with The Library and as the Librarian is busy we are to choose our own book. My book and a favorite is Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird. I read this to my sons when they were young, then when they went to high school had to read it again on their own–smile. One of my sons has read it so many times, he can recite it.

This was a simple card to make a little masking on the Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock panel that is the art panel. The first thing I did was cut a Whisper White card stock panel for the art piece.

I cut a panel the size of my card front from masking paper. In the center of this panel—well it is not really the center—but I cut a large circle using the largest circle from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Shapes Dies. It really didn’t matter which set I used as I just needed a circle.

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 another piece of Stampin’ Sponge and Tuxedo Memento Black ink I sponged back ink over the panel of card stock creating a dark night with a large 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.

The inside sentiment is stamped on a panel of Whisper White card stock in Tuxedo Memento Black ink using stamps from the Stampin’ Up! Well Said Stamp Set
