Stampin’ Up Floral Essence

Stampin’ Up Floral Essence

Here’s hoping everyone is having a great Sunday and those of you in the Stampin’ Up! World  Wide family going on the cruise in Greece, I know you are excited and already packing your bags to leave.  Post lot of pictures for those of us who did not qualify this year, so we too can enjoy the scenery.  Enjoy each moment and let the memories of Old World history linger in your mind for a while.

The card I am sharing today is from Stampin’ Up! Floral Essence Stamp Set.      

I am playing in the challenge  As You See It.  The challenge is to use your favorite color.  The color I am using is the color of most of my clothes.  My husband has a lot of shirts this color also and people are always saying “You are dressed  in the same color and it will be the first time we notice we have on the same color.”  That color is Stampin’ Up! Coastal Cabana, my clothes are teal.

 

And….

Cardz 4 Galz Challenge #99 Your Favourite Colour Combo.  What a blessing to find two challenges both being your favorite colors.

 

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock.

The Stampin’ Up! Coastal Cabana  6″ x 6″ Brights DSP panel and the Stampin’ Up! Coastal Cabana card stock panel that has been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Corrugated  3D Embossing Folder is used for the background panel.  They are taped together on the back side to enable the popping on the card front going smoother.  

A strip of Stampin’ Up! Bermuda Bay card stock has been cut using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Lace Die.  This strip is adhered to the background panel using Glue Dots.   I didn’t have a piece of Stampin’ Up! lace so I rummaged through my quilting scraps where I had made Crazy Quilt items and found a piece of lace, sometimes that is necessary when you do not have it, sewing scraps are always available at my house.

The flowers are from Stampin’ Up! Floral Essence Stamp Set and are stamped in Stampin’ Up! Coastal Cabana ink on Stampin’ Up! Thick Whisper White card stock.  They were punched out using the coordinating punch and popped over the lace piece after all the greenery had been attached to the back of the flowers.  The Stampin’ Up! Granny Apple Green and Whisper White flowers and leaves are from Stampin’ Up! Flourishing Dies.  The greeting from Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthday Stamp Set is stamped in Granny Apple Green on a scrap of Whisper White card stock and flagged on one end.  it is popped on using Glue Dots.

 

The inside sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Stamp Set is stamped on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock using Stampin’ Up! Granny Apple Green ink.  It is matted on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Granny Apple Green card stock.

In finishing my card I decorated a Whisper White Envelope so it will coordinate with the theme of the card front.   I   gave the envelope flap a panel from the same Stampin’ Up! 6″ x 6″ Brights  DSP  that is on the card front.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and my wish is that your day be blessed and that you find inspiration and encouragement for your own creations.

Stampin’ Up! It Starts With Art!

The card I am sharing today comes from the Stampin’ Up! It Starts With Art Stamp Bundle and the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set.

My design for this challenge comes from Hand Stamped Sentiments.  This week’s is a sketch challenge.

Stampin’ Up! Coastal Cabana card stock is used for the base.  It is cut 4-1/4″ 11″ and scored and folded at the 5-1/2″ score line.  The sentiment on the card from is one I typed on the computer and cut out using Stampin’ Up!

The first art panel is matted using Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Bushel card stock and is cut 3-1/8″ x 5-1/4″.  It has the spattered art panel from Stampin’ Up! so if Follow Your Art  Designer Series Paper (DSP).  This is cut 3″x 5-1/8″ and adhered with Liquid Glue.

The Stampin’ Up! Terracotta Tile card stock used for the next mat is cut 2-5/8″ x 4-3/8″.  The art panel for it is cut 2-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ from the same DSP.

I fussy cut two spools of thread from the DSP wrapped Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Baker’s Twine around one leaving a long tail curled around the side of the sentiment.  The other I made a tiny bow and adhered it with a Glue Dot.  I also wrapped several lengths of the twine at an angle around this piece and tied in a bow.  

The inside sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set is stamped on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock using Stampin’ Up! Coastal Cabana ink.

In finishing my card I decorated a Whisper White Envelope so it will coordinate with the theme of the card front.  I used fussy cut DSP from the Follow Your Art DSP to decorate the envelope front. I   gave the envelope flap a panel from the same Stampin’ Up! Follow Your DSP.

Stampin’ Up! New Wonders

Stampin’ Up! New Wonders

There is nothing like getting your card for a certain challenge made at midnight and start to write the blog only to realize you have made the card entirely different from what the challenge is.  So what do you do?  You put it all away and go to bed, hoping for a better morning.  Well, here I am again with a totally different card and praying it works this time.

I am playing along again today at another challenge at Try Stampin’ on Tuesday.

I used the Stampin’ Up! New Wonders stamp set to create this cute little card.  I have been wanting to use this set and just kept waiting to do it.  It is a cute stamp set and is actually a Hostess Set, meaning you can earn it by having a $150 party or purchasing $150 personally.  Being a demonstrator means I had the opportunity to order it during pre-order (one of the perks of being a demonstrator) after OnStage in November 2018.  Has it really been that long since OnStage?  We have a new one coming in April and if you become a demonstrator, you have the privilege of going if you so choose.  That’s enough, now on to the card for the day.  Here are the basics of the card:

  • The base is Stampin’ Up! Coastal Cabana card stock.
  • Two panels from the Stampin’ Up! Follow Your Art Designer Series Paper, one is the mat and the other is the background panel.
  • A 2″ strip is cut fro the Poppy Parade, and adhered with Liquid Multipurpose Glue to the center portion of the background panel.  Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Twine is wrapped around this panel three times before it is adhered.  A bow is also made and popped on using Glue Dots.
  • Using a die from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Framelits Dies a border piece is cut for each side of the Poppy Parade panel.
  • Several Stampin’ Up! Pearl Basic Jewels are colored with the Stampin’ Up! Dark Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends and scattered about on the card front.
  • One of the images from the Stampin’ Up! New Wonders Hostess Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a 3″ square of  Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Paper.  After stamping, I cut it out using Stampin’ Up Layering Circle Dies.  Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blends are used to color the image.  The colors used were Light Poppy Parade, Light Bermuda Bay, Light Daffodil Delight, Light Petal Pink, Light Crumb Cake, Light Balmy Blue, and Light Smoky Slate.

That’s it for the card front.  There is no inside sentiment only three hearts stamped in Stampin’ Up! Poppy Parade Ink using the small heart stamp from Stampin’ Up! Meant to Be stamp set.

In finishing my card I decorated a Whisper White Envelope so it will coordinate with the background panel on the card front.  I  stamped the images from the Stampin’ Up! New Wonders stamp set on the front of the envelope and gave the envelope flap a panel from the Stampin’ Up! Follow Your Art DSP.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and my wish is that your day be blessed.

Stampin’ Up! Daisy Lane

Stampin’ Up! Daisy Lane

No more “SNEAK PEEKS”, no more ” Available June 4″. June 4 is in the history books and everyone can order until their heart’s content or their credit card gets declined because you have reached your limit–Smile–real big here–.  My card today is from the Stampin’ Up! Daisy Lane Stamp Set.  Daisies are my favorite flower so it was a fun card to make.

My challenge for the day is with Try Stamping on Tuesday.  

 

Stampin’ Up! Highland Heather card stock is used as the card base as is the mat for the focal/background panel.  They have been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder.

The daisy has been stamped in Stampin’ Up! Blushing Bride ink using the Stampin’ Up! Daisy Lane stamp set.  It is punched out using the Stampin’ Up! Daisy Punch.  The Stampin’ Up! Pearl Basic Jewels in the center of the daisy have been colored with the Stampin’ Up! Merry Merlot stamp pad by rolling the pearls around on the stamp pad and then picking up with tweezers and placing on a piece of waxed paper to dry.

The band across the middle of the card is a strip of Stampin’ Up! Granny Apple Green card stock adhered with Liquid Multipurpose Glue.

 

The greeting is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Smoky Slate in on a scrap of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock and cut into a flag end and popped on with a Stampin’ Up! Glue Dot.

The sentiment is stamped in Smoky Slate ink on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock.  The daisy in the right corner is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Blushing Bride ink and one is stamped and fussy cut and popped on the stamped one with a Glue Dot.

To finish my card I decorated a Whisper White Envelope so it will coordinate with the background panel on the card front.  I  stamped the images from the Stampin’ Up! Floral Essence card set on the front of the envelope.  

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and my wish is that your day be blessed.
