Stampin’ Up! Come Sail Away

Stampin’ Up! Come Sail Away

My card today is created using the Stampin’ Up Come Sail Away Memories and More card pack.  This is a simple card to make #simplestamping.  Really there is no stamping to it.  We learned it all in kindergarten, cut and paste!

The challenge I am playing along with today is Sketch Saturday

The card is put together using either Liquid Glue, Glue Dots or Stampin’ Up! Stampin Dimensionals.  The greeting panel is popped on using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The inside sentiment is created using the stickers in the  Come Sail Away Memories and More card pack.

The card from the card pack is adhered using Liquid Glue and the stickers one in the middle of the compass and the other just a bit below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

To finish my card I decorated a  Very Vanilla Envelope so it will coordinate with the background panel on the card front.  I popped the sticker images from the Stampin’ Up! Come Sail Away Memories and More 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.

Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Lane

Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Lane

My card today is created using the new Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper and the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set (available June 4)

Here are the challenges I think my card will fit today.  Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

And…   Craftyhazelnut’s Patterned Paper Challenge.  

And…  Watercooler Wednesday  Anything Goes Challenge

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow card stock.  Then there is a Stampin’ Up! Petal Pink card stock mat for the Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper (available June 4).  These are adhered together using Liquid Multipurpose Glue. What do you think of the Mossy Meadow strip that is vertical down the panel of Magnolia Lane DSP?  It looks like a ribbon doesn’t it, but it is the strip that I cut off the Magnolia Lane DSP when I was cutting it for the correct size.  It even looks as if it has a Whisper White mat but that is just the strip on each side of the Mossy Meadow strip.  This is the reverse side of the Magnolia Lane panel. The greeting is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow ink on a Stampin’ Up! Petal Pink card stock label that has been punched using the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Label Punch (from the Mosiac Mood Suite available June 4).  It is matted on a Mossy Meadow card stock mat that is cut with the same punch.  Two small Magnolias have been fussy cut and popped on the label and in the lower right corner along with a Stampin’ Up! Pearl Basic Jewel.  Two other pearls are popped in the upper right corner.

The envelope flap has been covered to coordinate with the Magnolia Lane panel on the card front.

Here is the first card I made for this challenge, but after making it I did not like it so I made the card you see above.  Quite a contrast right?

 

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope your day is blessed.

Stampin’ Up! Beauty Abounds with Butterfly Gala

Stampin’ Up! Beauty Abounds with Butterfly Gala

I hope you had a nice Memorial Day and that the remainder of the week will be just as wonderful!   My card is created using the Stampin’ Up! Beauty Abounds and Butterfly Gala stamp set.  Both are being carried over to the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalog.

I am playing along in challenges from TGIF.  Their challenge is to use Gingham Gala it has become so popular.

And… The Paper Players.   They have a sketch challenge.

Stampin’ Up! Basic Black card stock is the base, then a layer of Stampin’ Up Whisper White card stock that has been stamped using the Stampin’ Up! Beauty Abounds! stamp set.  It is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink.  The other half of the Whisper White panel has a Stampin’ Up! Balmy Blue Gingham Gala panel that has been trimmed using one of the dies from the Stampin’ Up! Delicate Lace Dies to cut the lacy trim from Basic Black card stock. These also are carrying over to the new catalog that will launch on June 4.  The butterflies from the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Gala stamp set is stamped using Tuxedo Memento Black ink on scraps of Whisper White card stock, they are then colored using the Stampin’ Up! Light Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends and punched out using the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Duet Punch.  The greeting from the Beauty Abounds stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a scrap of Whisper White card stock and popped on the card front.

The inside sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beauty Abounds stamp set is stamped on a panel of Whisper White card stock in Tuxedo Memento Black ink.  Two butterflies from the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Gala stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink in the lower right corner of the panel.  The panel is adhered using Liquid Glue.

An envelope flap is covered using the Gingham Gala 6′ x 6″ DSP.

Thank you for stopping by today.  May your day be blessed!

Happy Memorial Day with Stampin’ Up! Love What You Do!

Happy Memorial Day with Stampin’ Up! Love What You Do!

Today we celebrate Memorial Day although there have been festivities all weekend. When I was a kid, Memorial Day was always the 30thof May. It was called Decoration Day.  It was made a national holiday in 1971, at that time it was moved to the last Monday in May.

Memorial Day is the day we remember what it means to be a hero. A day to remember the heroes who gave their all for their buddy next to them and for our freedom. These are the real heroes.   It is also a day we can thank those who did not get recognized with the honor they deserved when they returned from the war.

I am using the Stampin’ Up! Love What You Do stamp set to create my card today  The flowers in this set look like Poppies so for that reason I am using it.  Poppies have become a symbol for Memorial Day.  You see veterans sitting outside stores selling their poppies to raise funds for our veterans.  I am sure many of you have stopped and bought one of these.  If you see them outside a store today, stop and chat and buy one.

My inspiration comes today from the CAS on Friday Challenge.  Their challenge is to use Polka Dots in your creation.

My card has a Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Bushel card stock base.  It has been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Embossing Folder Oh! My Stars!  How appropriate as our flag has stars on it.  Next comes a panel of red and white polka dot that is from a 6″ x 6″ pack of retired Stampin’ Up! DSP.  The cover was missing so I have no way of what 6″ x 6″ pack it is from, but it was the only red polka dot I have and as I wanted my card to be red, white, and blue I used it.  I tried to punch holes in a panel of Real Red card stock but my hole punch was not long throated enough.  This polka dot panel is matted on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock and adhered to the embossed card front using Liquid Glue.   The poppy image from Stampin’ Up! Love What You Do stamp set was used to stamp the image in Stampin’ Up! Real Red and Old Olive inks.  A Stampin’ Up! Light Real Red Blends Pen was then used to color the flowers. A Stampin’ Up! Real Red Stampin’ Write Marker was used to color the small bow  made from Stampin’ Up! Linen Thread as I do not have red linen thread.

Three stars from the Best Route Enamel Shapes were scattered over the card front.  The “thinking of you” greeting is from the Stampin’ Up! Sheltering Tree stamp set (retiring June 3).  It is stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink on a scrap of Whisper White card stock and popped on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The inside sentiment is stamped on a panel of Whisper White card stock in Blueberry Bushel ink.  The sentiments are from the new Stampin’ Up! To A Wild Rose Bundle and Believe You Can stamp set (available to customers June 4).

The envelope for the card has a matching polka dot flap.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you have a fantastic Memorial Day and if you are one of those that served to help keep our country free, I am forever indebted to you and appreciate you so much.  So thank you for your service to the people of the United States of America!  Have an extra special blessed day.  To all the Gold Star families out there my heart is with you, but no one can ever tell you how it feels to lose a loved one until it is experienced.  God Bless each one of you.

Stampin’ Up! Floral Essence

Stampin’ Up! Floral Essence

You get another sneak peek today of the Stampin’ Up! Floral Essence stamp bundle.  (It is available to customers June 4.)  I am using it today to create my card.

I am playing with Global Design Project today.

This is really a lovely card in real time but the coloring in a photo is not too great, I don’t think.  It is a lovely pink mostly.  The flower from the Stampin’ Up! Floral Essence stamp set (available to customers June 4) is stamped using Stampin’ Up! Flirty Flamingo ink and punched using the coordinating Stampin’ Up! Perennial Flower Punch.  The flower in the photo looks pale pink.

All layers are put together using Liquid Multipurpose Glue.  The base is  Stampin’ Up! Balmy Blue card stock.  Next, there is a panel of Stampin’ Up! Highland Heather and final the focal panel is Stampin’ Up! Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper (DSP).

The heart trim across the bottom portion of the card front is from Stampin’ Up! Delicate Lace Dies cut from a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock.  There are three Pearl Basic Jewels scattered over the card front.

The inside sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Floral Essence stamp bundle and is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Flirty Flamingo ink as is the flower in the corner.
The envelope gets a panel of the Perennial Essence DSP on the flap.

I am happy you stopped by today, thanks for doing so.  May your day be blessed!
