Stampin’ Up! Bloom and Grow

Stampin’ Up! Bloom and Grow

It’s Friday and the weekend starts for many people.  I always have a weekend.  After a while, you forget it’s the middle of the week.  Have a great weekend everyone!

My card today is created using Stampin’ Up! Bloom and Grow Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper along the large heart die from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Be Mine Dies Set.

My challenge is with Fab Friday.  It is a sketch challenge.

Stampin’ Up! Highland Heather card stock is the card base as are the two mats that have been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtles Embossing Folder.

The focal panel is a panel cut from one of the gorgeous paper of the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper. It also is embossed using the Subtles Embossing Folder. It coordinates well with my heart and the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Bloom and Grow Stamp Set.

The flowers are stamped in Stampin’ Up! Smoky Slate ink on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Thick Whisper White card stock and then colored using Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Pencils and Stampin’ Up! Blender Pens.  The flower spray is adhered to the heart using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Up! Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  A small length of Stampin’ Up! 3/8″ Very Vanilla Scalloped Lace Trim is adhered below the heart and under the flowers using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Glue Dots hidden under the flowers. A tiny bow is made using a length of twine from the Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Baker’s Twine.

The inside is left blank so a note can be written, but flowers have been stamped and colored at the bottom of the panel.  The panel looks Very Vanilla but it is Whisper White, I suppose that is my lighting on this take.

 

In finishing the card project, I added a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Essence DSP to the envelope flap so it would coordinate with the card front.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I wish you a great weekend!  Return soon for another card.

Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals with Noble Peacock DSP

Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals with Noble Peacock DSP

Have you ever seen a blue poppy?  I haven’t.  I understand they are a rare breed,  they are not the everyday flower that you can pick up in a bouquet at the grocery store.  I believe the flowers on the card I am sharing today are blue poppies.  My card today is created using Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals  Specialty Designer Series Paper and Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Series Paper.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Well Said Stamp Set for the greeting on the front of the card and for the inside sentiment.

I hope your Thursday is starting off to be a terrific and awesome day for you.  At the end of your day, think to yourself this is what I am most thankful for that happened today.  You can always find something to be thankful for  — Just Breathing is one– so many — too many people have to have a machine breath for them or carry oxygen around so they will be able to breathe.  How blessed are you?

 

Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy card stock is the base with several layers of mats all from the Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ up! Nobel Peacock Specialty Designers Series Paper.

My challenge today is with Sunday Stamps Triple the Fun Challenge.

The colors of this card are similar to one made earlier just different paper but in same color families.  I thought the sparkly paper would look beautiul mixed together and it is.

The inside sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Well Said Stamp Set stamped in Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy ink on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock.

n finishing my card project, I decorated the flat of a medium-size  Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Envelope with the DSP that coordinates with the focal panel on the card front.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you like my card and that you can find encouragement or inspiration for your own creations.

Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad joins Rustic Retreat and Dandelion Wishes

Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad joins Rustic Retreat and Dandelion Wishes

Happy Wednesday!  Downhill to the weekend after you get over the hump!

The card I am sharing today is quite simple.  It is a combination of Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Dandelion Wishes Stamp Set.

My challenge for the day is with CAS(E) this Sketch.  

The base is one of the new in-colors for this year– Stampin’ Up! Terracotta Tile card stock.  The next layer is a half-panel of the Terracotta Tile embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder.  

There is a Stampin’ Up! Basic Black card stock mat for the focal panel which is a panel from Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper.  All these panels are adhered together using Liquid Glue.  A length of Stampin’ Up! Terracotta Tile 1/2″ Scalloped Linen Ribbon was cut and adhered to a scrap of Basic Black card stock and then adhered to the focal panel using Liquid Glue.  The birds are fussy cut from another panel of the Bird Ballad DSP and adhered to the focal panel using Liquid Glue.  The greeting is from the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat Stamp Set and is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake ink on a scrap of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock.

The inside sentiment is from Stampin’ Up! Dandelion Wishes Stamp Set stamped in Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock that has been decorated with strips from the same panel of DSP that the focal point is cut.  This panel is adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue.

In finishing my card project, I decorated the flat of a medium-size  Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Envelope with the DSP that coordinates with the focal panel on the card front.  The lower right corner of the envelope front was decorated also.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you like my card and that you can find encouragement or inspiration for your own creations.

Stampin’ Up! Silhouette Scenes with Garden Lane DPS

Stampin’ Up! Silhouette Scenes with Garden Lane DPS

Happy, Sunny Sunday!  Have a fun day ’cause you know what tomorrow is–it is the today that was yesterday!

I card I am sharing is a combination of Stampin’ Up! Silhouette Scenes and Garden Lane DSP.  It is created with the challenge I am playing in today in mind.  

My challenge is with the Paper Craft Crew. The challenge is to CAS(E) a card that one of the Design Team Designed. 

I am CASing a card from Tina Riddle.  Here is her card or click her card to go to her site.

And here is my card– 

Quite a difference would you not say?  Tina is so colorful.  I used panels of DSP from Stampin’ Up! Garden Lane Designer Series Paper to make the focal and the background panels. To make the colors more muted and not a bright green, I used Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Pencils in Old Olive, Cajun Craze, and Daffodil Delight to color the panel and used an Aqua Painter to spread the color around.

The leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Silhouette Scenes Bundle are cropped from Stampin’ Up! Basic Black card stock using one of the dies and adhered to the card front using Liquid Glue.  The greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Gala Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on the lower right corner of the focal panel.

Two of the butterflies from the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Gala Stamp Set are stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a small panel cut from the Stampin’ Up! See A Silhouette Designer Series Paper.  I had to fussy cut them as I could not find my punch that coordinates with this stamp set.  The butterflies are popped on using Stampin’ Up! Glue Dots.

Two 3/4″ strips are cut from the DSP and adhered down each side of the sentiment panel. The sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Forever Lovely Stamp Set and is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Old Olive ink.  The branch is part of the branch from the front of the card.  The butterflies like the ones on the card front are stamped in Tuxedo Black ink on a small panel of the See A Silhouette DSP.  

In finishing my card I decorated a Whisper White Envelope so it will coordinate with the theme of the card.  I gave the envelope flap a panel of DSP from the See A Silhouette DSP.  You can see the difference in the color of the DSP on the flap and the one one the card front that was muted.

Thank you for stopping by today.  Have a blessed and rested day before your work week starts.

Stampin’ Up! Dino Days & Dinoroar

Stampin’ Up! Dino Days & Dinoroar

Happy Monday, I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend, in spite of the warm, did I say warm temps.  I put some Big Shot plate out in the sun to see if it would melt them and make them straighter.  I am going to have to check to see the results.  It was so hot the last few days I thought it might work.  I will let you know if it works.

My card today is from the Stampin’ Up! Dino Days Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Dinoroar DSP.

My challenge for today is from Global Design Project

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Basic Black card stock. A Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock mat has been cut for the Stampin’ Up! Dinoroar Designer Series Paper focal panel.  I think this panel is cute with the little dinosaur eggs.  A length of Stampin’ Up! Linen Thread is wrapped around the focal panel and tied in a bow.

A 1-1/2″ x 3″ strip is cut for the greeting panel.  On this panel a greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Dino Days Stamp Set is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lipstick ink.  The panel is popped over the Linen Thread on the card front using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Four little dinosaurs have been fussy cut from a panel of the Dinoroar DSP and popped on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Several Stampin’ Up! Dinoroar Enamel Shapes are popped on the corner of the greeting panel.

The inside sentiment is one typed on the computer and printed.  This card is for a little 3 year old red head that said GG made me a card.  How could I resist? I fussy cut two dinosaurs from the DSP and adhered to the sentiment panel.

In finishing my card I decorated a Whisper White Envelope so it will coordinate with the theme of the card.  I gave the envelope flap a panel of DSP from the Dinoroar DSP.

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you like my card and that you can find inspiration for your own creations from it.
