Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Bouquet

July 4, 2019 admin Comments 6 comments

Happy Independence Day everyone! I hope you have a fantastic celebration today!

The card I am sharing today is made using the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set.

My challenge for the day is with The Sisterhood of Crafters Any Occasions.

And… Paper Craft Crew Challenge. I used the middle row Die Cut Element, Favorite Color, and Floral.

The base is Stampin’ Up! Basic Black card stock with a Stampin’ Up! Blushing Bride card stock mat. The focal panel is a combination of stamping and fussy cutting and dies cutting. The pink wash behind the hearts is created using Stampin’ Up! Melon Mambo Watercolor Pencil and an Aqua Painter.

The hearts were die cut from Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lipstick and Whisper White card stock using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Be Mine Dies. The little cluster of hearts stamped between each of the red hearts is from the Stampin’ Up! Love You To Pieces Stamp Set and Melon Mambo ink stamped off once is used for the stamping.

The leaves were die cut from Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock and colored using Stampin’ Up! Garden Green ink. The flowers are stamped in Stampin’ Up! Melon Mambo and Pool Party inks using a stamp from the Stampin’ up! Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set. The little bird is fussy cut from a piece of Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad DSP.

The greeting is stamped on a scrap of Whisper White card stock using Lovely Lipstick ink using a stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Greeting Stamp Set and popped on the card front using Stampin’ Up! Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The bow is made using Stampin’ Up! Linen Thread and popped on the card front using a Stampin’ Up! Glue Dot.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lipstick ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock using stamps from the Stampin’ Up! Flourishing Phrases Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Well Said Stamp Set. The greeting doesn’t seem to be clear here, but in real time it is. It must be the light color.

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! Dandelion Wishes

July 2, 2019 admin Comments 8 comments

What big plans do you have for July 4th other than watching the fireworks? I know many of you must work–nurses, police, fire. Thank you for working and protecting us on this day as we celebrate America’s birthday. And thank you to all the restaurant workers who are working this day and not getting to celebrate with their families because they along with the nurses, police and fire are out there serving us to make our day better– So thank you!

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Dandelion Wishes Stamp Set. It was simple and easy. One layer with a mat and that’s it.

Thanks to my stampin’ friend Karen Finkle, I’ve found a new challenge to try little Red Wagon

The base is Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy card stock with a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock mat for the focal panel. The focal panel is from Stampin’ Up! See A Silhouette Designer Series Paper.

Using Versa Mark ink I stamped the images from Stampin’ Up! Dandelion Wishes Stamp Set on the focal panel and then heat embossed using Stampin’ Up! White Embossing Powder. The greeting is from Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set and is also heat embossed.

The inside greeting is left without a sentiment so a note can be written.

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 few stamps from the dandelion stamp so it matches 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 Floral Essence

June 30, 2019 admin Comments 11 comments

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!

June 28, 2019 admin Comments 9 comments

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! Stitched Nested Label Dies. I have no idea who to give credit for the saying so if you know please let me know so I can give them credit.

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.

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.
