Animal Outing with Part of My Story

Animal Outing with Part of My Story

I received the Animal Outing stamp set at OnStage Atlanta in April 2018.  I have used it very little but think it is time to use it more as we now have a stamp set that has the perfect greeting for this (Part of My Story) free with $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration.

The card starts with a Lovely Lipstick card base.  There are two large layer panels for mats, one is Basic Black, the other is cut from a panel of the All My Love DSP.  They are adhered together using Liquid Glue then adhered to the card base using the same Liquid Glue.  

My inspiration comes from Tuesday Morning Sketches.  

Two smaller panels are cut one from Basic Black, the other from Lovely Lipstick.  The Lovely Lipstick one is embossed using the Subtle’s TIEF.  They are layered together and adhered to the large heart panel using Liquid Glue.  A strip of the heart paper from the All My Love DSP is cut along with a strip of Basic Black card stock to make a banner across the card.

The kangaroo is stamped in Soft Suede on a panel of Crumb Cake and cut using the kangaroo die that comes in the bundle saving 10% if that is the way you purchased it. The kangaroo was masked so the little bear in the pouch would not show.  A Lovely Lipstick heart cut from the All My Love DSP is adhered using a glue dot on the hand as if the kangaroo is holding the heart. The cute little hippo is stamped in Soft Suede on Gray Granite card stock and cut using his die.  This little hippo wants to be different so he has a Coastal Cabana heart balancing on his nose.The greeting is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a stitched circle and has a Basic Black mat.  Several Epoxy hearts are scattered around the card front. The front is finished.  Let’s try for the inside sentiment.

The part of the sentiment is from the bundle called Well Said.  It has been cut using Lovely Lipstick card stock.  The “I Just” is printed by me.  I didn’t have a stamp that says I Just Miss You so I used the two words from the Well Said bundle.  The heart flourish is from the Forever Lovely stamp set and is stamped in Lovely Lipstick ink.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you like my card and that you have found encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.

Colorful Seasons

Colorful Seasons

Have you ever seen a frog with spots? He had water dropped on him.

I used the Colorful Seasons and So Hoppy Together stamp sets to create my card for today.

It is Thursday and the weekend’s almost upon us, can you believe? I think the sun is out a good bit of that time–so YAH! for the sun.

My design and inspiration come from two challenges this week. What Will You Stamp and Casology.

 

The card base is Shaded Spruce 4-1/4
x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ and then folded on score line.
                                                                            
The Animal Expedition DSP focal mat is cut 3-3/4″ x 5″ and adhered with Liquid Glue to the Lemon Lime Twist mat.
After the Animal Expedition Focal mat is adhered to the Lemon Lime Twist mat a length of ribbon is wrapped around the two panels and a bow is tied.  They are then adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue.

A frog from the stamp set So Hoppy Together is stamped  in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink and colored using a Blender Pen and Lemon Lime Twist stamp pad.  I masked off the cycle part of the stamp as I only wanted the frog.   The art piece was then adhered to a Lemon Lime Twist mat. Three hearts have been fussy cut from a panel of All My Love DSP and adhered using a tiny drop of Liquid Glue behind each.  That finishes the front.
The inside sentiment from the Colorful Seasons stamp set is stamped in Shaded Spruce Ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock.  A frog from the So Hoppy Together stamp set is stamped in Lemon Lime Twist in the corner of the card.
I hope you like my cute card and find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.

Forever Lovely – Love You!

Can you believe it is already January 17th?  Where has the time gone?  I suppose we all need to make the most of it because time is precious and something we can never get back.

My inspiration for the day comes from the TGIF Challenge #194.  Looks like a great challenge.

The card starts with a Blushing Bride base with a Blushing Bride mat that has been embossed with the Subtle TIEF.  After finishing the card, I think maybe it might have been good with the new Lace Dynamic Embossing Folder from the Occasions catalog.  What do you think?  I used a Lovely Lipstick  Foil sheet from the Sal-A-Bration catalog to cut the mat for the focal panel which is cut from a piece in the All My Love DSP. The red heart is cut from the Lovely Lipstick Foil sheet also.  I first cut out one of the hearts in the All My Love DSP pack but found it just did not suit me so I used it as a template to draw the heart on the foil sheet and then fussy cut it out.  The greeting is from the Forever Lovely stamp set, stamped on a scrap of Whisper White.  Linen Thread is wrapped around the focal panel three times and tied in a bow.  The heart is then popped on the panel.  The focal panel is then popped onto the Blushing Bride embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Lovely Lipstick ink on a panel of Whisper White.  The sentiments are from the Part of My Story stamp set and the Forever Lovely stamp set.

That’s it for today.  Hope you like it and find it inspirational and encouraging for your own creations.

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew January Blog Hop– “LOVE”

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew January Blog Hop– “LOVE”

 

Welcome!  It’s that time again for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop.  You can catch us here on the second Tuesday of each month.  Be sure to check out all the blogs, this is a talented group and you will find lots of inspiration.  Our theme for the month is “Love”.

I love red, it is a power color.  It always makes me feel energized when I wear or use red.  I would probably use red for all my cards but know that I should not.  I chose to make a card that can be for anyone, friend, relative or your one true love.   I am using the same stamp set as I used in a previous post.  It is just a different stamp from that set.  This beautiful rose is from the Graceful Garden stamp set.

My card today starts with a Real Red card base.  It is relatively simple and easy to make, even with looking so elegant,  It is one layer, no mats, just the background panel for the Graceful Garden red rose.  I suppose it could be called the mat for the rose.  A panel of Whisper White card stock was cut using the Framelits Die from the Wonderful Floral Framelits Die set.  As you can see it makes a nice decorative piece for the card.  I then used a stamp from the Timeless Textures stamp set to give a little texture to the background the rose would be popped on.  The rose was stamped using Memento Black Ink on Whisper White Thick card stock.  I then colored the rose using Stampin’ Write Marker in Real Red and Pear Pizzazz. It was then fussy cut.  The rose was then popped onto the Whisper White panel using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The greeting is from the Petal Palette stamp set and is stamped at the bottom in Real Red ink below the Graceful Garden rose. Three Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels were popped on the card at the top and the bottom.

The inside sentiment is from the Flourishing Phrases stamp set and is stamped in Real Red ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock.  A small rose from the Graceful Garden stamp set is stamped in Memento Black ink in the lower right corner of the sentiment panel.  It is then colored using Daffodil Delight, Real Red, and Pear Pizzazz Stampin’ Write Markers.  It is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Thank you for visiting our Blog Hop today.  My wish, as usual, is for you to find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.

Petal Palette with All My Love DSP

Petal Palette with All My Love DSP

YAY!   Sale-A-Brations starts today!  Is everyone ready? I have my list ready.  My card today is a combination of the Petal Palette stamp set and the All Love DSP from the Occasions catalog.

The card is a simple and easy one to make and only takes minutes to make unless you are like me and get side-tracked doing something else and have to come back to it a dozen times.

The inspiration for my sketch layout comes from Global Design Project, this week’s challenge. 

The card base is Balmy Blue cut 5-1/2″  x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″.  The mat is a panel  4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″  cut from the  All My Love DSP.  It is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Another panel is cut measuring 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″ to use as the focal panel.  This also was adhered with Multipurpose Glue.

The mat for the art piece is a 1-7/8″ x 3-1/8″ panel cut using a Rectangle Framelits Die.  It is cut from a piece of the All My Love DSP.  The art piece measures 1-1/2″ x 2-7/8″ and is cut from a piece of Whisper White card stock. The greeting stamped in Lovely Lipstick ink is from the Petal Palette stamp set.  The greeting was masked so it could be stamped in two sections, instead of one long line.  The Balmy Blue hearts are embossed using the Subtle Dynamic TIEF. They are staggered down the art piece with the bottom three being attached to Silver Thread and then adhered to the panel.

Look at the difference in the two cards, one is photographed with a pink back ground, the other with a light wood background.  It makes all the difference in the background you use for the clarity of  a picture.

The inside sentiment panel is cut using the Stitched Label Framelits Dies.  The sentiment is from the Incredible Like You stamp set and is stamped in Lovely Lipstick ink.

Thank you for stopping by today!  Have a blessed day and my wish for you is to find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.
