Incredible Like You

March 2, 2019 admin Comments 14 comments

Today I am using the Incredible Like You stamp set. It is a fun set to use. My card has a Pool Party card base and is embossed using the SubtleTextured Impression Embossing Folder (TIEF). It is a one layer other than the jar with the flowers from the Incredible Like You stamp set.

Today’ s Inspiration comes from The Sisterhood of Crafters. The challenge this week is called “In The Red” Use the color red on your project or card.

And since I am using the stamp set Incredible Like You, What Would You Stamp is having a challenge using that set so I thought why not join that one also.

The flowers are stamped in Lovely Lipstick on a panel of Whisper White card stock. This was done three times as I wanted three flowers. Each flower was fussy cut.

A jar was cut from Vellum card stock using the Everyday Jar Framelits. A length of Linen Thread was wrapped three times around the neck of the jar and tied in a bow. A doily from the Doily Builder Thinlits Dies was cut from a panel of Whisper White card stock. It was adhered to the Pool Party card base using Liquid Glue. I stamped the stems twice for each stem to make sure they were long enough for the jar and still be able to adhere the flower heads to them using Stampin’ Dimensionals cut in two pieces. The stems were adhered using Glue Dots and the flower heads were adhered using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Three pears from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls package are scattered to various spots on the card front.

The sentiment is stamped on a panel of Whisper White card stock using Lovely Lipstick ink. A flower and stem are also stamped using Lovely Lipstick and Pear Pizzazz ink.

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you are having a blessed day.

Beauty Abounds with Botanical Butterfly

February 26, 2019 admin Comments 12 comments

It seems I am making great use of the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper. It is just so versatile and can be used for any card you chose to make. Beauty Abounds is the stamp set the greeting and sentiment are from. The Stitched Label Framelits makes a pretty addition to the card with the greeting stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink.

My sketch and inspiration come from the TGIF Challenge 200. Such a lovely sketch for the challenge.

I also decided to play at As You See It because this is a very simple card in spite of my detailed instructions. I could have just said cut your paper the sizes I have listed and adhere them with Liquid Glue, cut you some butterflies out and stick them on. I wanted to make it detailed to show how easy it really is. It is all about wording. When I think SIMPLE I think of making it easy so the novice has a chance to make a beautiful card.

This is a really simple and easy card but it will look complicated when I number the steps to creating. Do not let that deter you from making it. You will see the majority of the card is cutting. If you can cut, you can make. Follow the card recipe below:

Cut a 4-1/4″ x 11″ card base using thick Whisper White card stock.
Score the card at 5-1/2″ and fold on the scoreline.
Cut a 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ mat using Basic Black card stock.
Cut a 4″ x 5-1/4″ panel using a sheet of the Botanical Butterfly DSP
Adhere the Botanical Butterfly DSP to the Basic Black mat using Liquid Glue.
Cut a 2-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ panel using the Basic Black card stock.
Cut a 2″ x 5-1/4″ panel from the Botanical Butterfly DSP using one of the sheets that have the above butterflies on it.
Adhere the 2″ panel to the Basic Black mat using Liquid Glue.
Adhere these two panels to the green Botanical Butterfly panel. I realized when taking pictures I could have used only half a panel of this DSP.
Fussy cut 2 small butterflies and 1 large butterfly from the Botanical Butterfly DSP.
Using thick Whisper White card stock cut a label using the large framelits from the Stitched Labels Framelits set.
Stamp in Gorgeous Grape the greeting from the Beauty Abounds stamp set.
Pop the Stitched Label over the focal panels of butterflies and greenery using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Adhere the large butterfly to the left corner of the Stitched Label using a Glue Dot.
Adhere the two small butterflies using Glue Dots, one to the lower right corner of the Stitched Label and the other on one of the stems of the green flowers at the top of the left panel.
The inside sentiment from the Beauty Abounds stamp set is stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink on a panel of Whisper White that has been matted on a panel of Basic Black card stock using Liquid Glue.
Fussy cut a large butterfly from the Botanical Butterfly DSP and adhered with Liquid Glue.
Using Liquid Glue adhere the finished panel to the card base.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you found enjoyment in seeing my card and that you like it. My wish is for you to find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations. Have a blessed day!

Happiness Blooms with Love What You Do

February 25, 2019 admin Comments 10 comments

Seems I used a lot of stamp sets; Love What You Do, Incredible Like You, Well Said in creating this card plus the Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper (DSP)

My design comes from Freshly Made Sketches. At first, I thought what can I do with this sketch and then it just all seemed to come together and the card turned out to be rather pretty.

My card starts with a Whisper White Thick card base.

The card base is embossed using the Subtles Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF).

Flowers are fussy cut from a panel of the Happiness Blooms DSP. They are adhered to the Subtles embossed card front using Liquid Glue and Mini Stampin Dimensionals.

A 2″ x 4-1/4″ panel of the Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper is cut and adhered across the bottom of the card base covering the tip ends of the flowers.

There are four cuts of the Happy from a panel of the DSP like the panel used at the bottom. A piece of Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet is adhered to the back of the panel so when the cuts were made it would be easier to adhere them together. By having four adhered together it gives a bit of dimension to the word. The same was done for the word Birthday only it was cut from a panel of Calypso Coral card stock.

Three sequins from the Basic Adhesive Backed Sequin package is scattered on the card front.

The inside sentiment from the Incredible Like You Stamp set is stamped in Calypso Coral ink on a panel of Whisper White that has been trimmed with a section of the same DSP used on the card front. Flowers are from the Love What You Do stamp set is stamped in Calypso Coral and Call Me Clover ink.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you like my card. Have a blessed day!

Needle and Thread and Ribbon of Courage

February 8, 2019 admin Comments 18 comments

Yesterday was a beautiful sunshiny and hot day–81 degrees here and it is only February. Does that mean we have a very hot sultry summer that will make us housebound for the coolness of the air conditioner?

My card is created using the Ribbon of Courage stamp set (annual catalog) and the Needlepoint Nook Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the 2019 Occasions catalog. The Poppy Parade flowers on the art piece are from the Wonderful Romance stamp set ( 2019 Occasions catalog.

My inspiration and design comes from the As You See It Challenge #193.

And…

Tuesday Morning Sketches

My card base is Night of Navy card stock with a Balmy Blue card stock mat. The three focal panels are from the Needlepoint Nook DSP.

The art piece with the greeting from the Ribbon of Courage stamp set is stamped in Poppy Parade ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock and then cut out using the Layering Circle Framelits Dies.

The art piece is adhered using Liquid Glue to a Balmy Blue mat that has also been cut using the Layering Circle Framelits Dies.

The mat is then popped in the center of the focal panel using Stampin Dimensionals. A few lengths of Whisper White Twine is wrapped around this panel and tied in a bow. A few sequins from the Gingham Gala sequins are scattered around the card front and added to the center of the two Poppy Parade flowers.

That’s it for the card front now on to the inside sentiment.

The sentiment from the 2019 Sale-A Bration catalog Home to Roost stamp set (FREE with $50 purchase) is stamped in Poppy Parade ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock that is matted on a panel of Balmy Blue card stock.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you like my card. My wish is that you find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations. from the
