Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lily Pad

Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lily Pad

Happy  Wednesday Morning! Or it may be afternoon in your part of the world so Good Day! In today’s post, I’ll be featuring the new Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lily Pad Stamp Set and Dies, available in the new Sale-A-Bration Catalog when you purchase the qualifying amounts.

I am choosing to play in several challenges today–

Always Fun Challenges — Something New– I am using new stamps and dies from the current Sale-A-Bration Catalog.

Dream Valley Challenges — Something New — New stamps and dies for me.

Make My Monday — Anything But Square–

Sweet Stampin’ Challenge — New Stash

Start with a Stampin’ Up! Bermuda Bay card stock card base, add a layer the same color that is embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Basket Weave 3-D Embossing Folder. I reversed the design on the panel to use what is considered the backside of the embossed panel.

A panel from Stampin’ Up! Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper is matted with a panel of Stampin’ Up! Melon Mambo card stock that has been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder.  It is then popped on the card front using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I will call them flourishes, three are cropped from Melon Mambo card stock and two are adhered to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  A flower is stamped on a portion of the Lily Impression DSP and then cropped using the die from the Lily Pad Dies. It is popped over the top flourish using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Leaves are added to the flower and are from my stash of cropped leftovers, I believe these leaves are from the Stampin’ Up! Poppy Moment Dies.  Sequins from the Stampin’ Up! Adhesive Backed Sequins are randomly placed around the card front.  The greeting is from Stampin’ Up! Sending You Thoughts Stamp Set (a Sale-A- Bration item free with qualifying purchase).  It is stamped on a scrap of Whisper White card stock and fussy cut the shape of the stamp.  It is popped over the flourish at the bottom using Stampin’ Up! Glue Dots.

The sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sending You Thoughts Stamp Set is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Melon Mambo ink on a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock panel.  The third flourish is adhered at the bottom of the panel.

In finishing, a panel from the Lily Impressions DSP is adhered to the envelope flap using Liquid Glue.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day.  My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself.  Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me.  Have a blessed day!

Stampin’ Up! Sneak Peak Peaceful Poppies

Stampin’ Up! Sneak Peak Peaceful Poppies

Just a few days and you will no longer be getting messages Sneak Peak (available January 3).  The time is soon here –4 days after today! Are you getting excited to finally being able to order from the new Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalog?  There are many beautiful products.  I am previewing one of them today.  The Peaceful Poppy Suite.

The inspiration for this challenge comes from the Fab Friday Challenge

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock with a background panel of the same that has been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder.  This panel is then adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue.

In creating the frame for the art piece 3 frames from  Whisper White card stock and one from the Peaceful Poppy DSP were cropped using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Rectangle Dies.  These were adhered together using Liquid Glue.  By using 4 frames to create this, it gives the frame dimension and looks better than just a flat frame adhered to the card front.

The art piece is stamped on a panel of Whisper White card stock that has been cropped using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Rectangle Dies. The poppies from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies Stamp Set (available January 3) is then stamped on the panel using Tuxedo Memento Black ink and then colored using Stampin’ Up! Light Poppy Parade and Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers.  The greeting is from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Moments Stamp Set (available January 3).  Three Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Poppies Sequins are randomly placed on the card front.

The sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Flourishing Phrases Stamp Set and is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink.  The poppy is from the Painted Poppies Stamp Set and is also stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink and colored using the same markers that were used in coloring the art piece.

A poppy from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies Stamp Set was stamped in the lower corner of my envelope using Tuxedo Memento Black ink and two Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blends Markers. I used Light Poppy Parade and Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blends to color.  

In finishing my card, I gave the Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Poppies DSP.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day.  My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself.  Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me.  Have a blessed day!

Stampin’ Up! Back On Your Feet

Stampin’ Up! Back On Your Feet

Welcome!  Here it is Monday and we have a whole new week ago, so make the most of it.  Time once gone can never be regained!

I found these two fun challenges so I am giving them a try.  

The first is Crafty Animals.

And …  2 Crafty Critter Crazies.    


Stampin’ Up! Back on  Your Feet is the stamp set used to create this card I am sharing with you today.  It is a cute stamp set with little critters and a pain in the neck giraffe.  My card base is Stampin’ Up! Granny Apple Green card stock with a Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Grape card stock mat for the art piece. 

The art piece is stamped on Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock using Tuxedo Memento Black ink to stamp the images.  The images are from the Stampin’ Up! Back on Your Feet Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Verdant Garden

The images are colored using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blends  Light and Dark Granny Apple Green, Light Daffodil Delight, and Light and Dark Crumb Cake.  The greetings are stamped in Stampin’ Up! Highland Heather ink and Granny Apple Green ink.

The sentiment is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Highland Heather ink on a panel of Whisper White.  The critters are stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink and colored the same as the ones on the card front.

The Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope gets a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Garden Lane Designer Series Paper added to the envelope flap for the final finishing touches. 

Thank you for stopping by today.   I hope you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day.  My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself.

Stampin’ Up! Back on Your Feet

Stampin’ Up! Back on Your Feet

Happy Monday!  

The card I am sharing today is from the Stampin’ Up! Back on Your Feet Stamp Set.  I thought it was time to create get well cards as my stash of them is very low.

My challenges are with Sunday Stamps-AutumnWhisper.  I used 5 of the 6 colors.

And…

Sketch Saturday— I like this sketch and will save for the next time the challenge is used a previous sketch. 

My card base is Stampin’ Up! Garden Green card stock with a mat of Stampin’ Up! Terracotta Tile card stock.  The next mat is for the background panel and is Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake card stock that has been stamped in Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake ink using the Stampin’ Up! Crackle Paint Stamp.

The mat for the art panel is also Terracotta Tile card stock. The art image from the Stampin’ Up! Back on Your Feet Stamp Set is stamped in Crumb Cake ink on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Sahara Sand card stock. I colored the image using Stampin’ Up! Stampin Blends Markers in Light Old Olive, Light  Daffodil Delight, and Light Crumb Cake.

The leaves are stamped in Stampin’ Up! Old Olive and Garden Green ink on Stampin’ Up! Whisper White and Crumb Cake card stock using a stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Rooted in Nature Stamp Set.  They are cropped out using the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Roots Dies. Several leaves are also cropped from Stampin Up! Perennial Essence Vellum card stock in Old Olive and So Saffron using the leaf dies from the Stampin’ Up! In The Woods Dies.  These are used to make a collage of leaves behind the art panel.

The greeting is stamped in Crumb Cake ink on a scrap of Stampin’ Up! So Saffron card stock flagged on the end and adhered to the side of the art panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The inside sentiment is stamped on a Crumb Cake panel using Garden Green ink and is matted on a Terracotta Tide card stock mat then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Glue.

To finish, I stamped a Stampin’ Up! Very Vanilla envelope using the Stampin’ Up! Crackle Paint Stamp and Crumb Cake ink.  I masked off a portion for the address to be written but forgot to do one for the return address, but I use return address labels so that will be no problem.

Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals with Noble Peacock DSP

Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals with Noble Peacock DSP

Have you ever seen a blue poppy?  I haven’t.  I understand they are a rare breed,  they are not the everyday flower that you can pick up in a bouquet at the grocery store.  I believe the flowers on the card I am sharing today are blue poppies.  My card today is created using Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals  Specialty Designer Series Paper and Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Series Paper.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Well Said Stamp Set for the greeting on the front of the card and for the inside sentiment.

I hope your Thursday is starting off to be a terrific and awesome day for you.  At the end of your day, think to yourself this is what I am most thankful for that happened today.  You can always find something to be thankful for  — Just Breathing is one– so many — too many people have to have a machine breath for them or carry oxygen around so they will be able to breathe.  How blessed are you?

 

Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy card stock is the base with several layers of mats all from the Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ up! Nobel Peacock Specialty Designers Series Paper.

My challenge today is with Sunday Stamps Triple the Fun Challenge.

The colors of this card are similar to one made earlier just different paper but in same color families.  I thought the sparkly paper would look beautiul mixed together and it is.

The inside sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Well Said Stamp Set stamped in Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy ink on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock.

n finishing my card project, I decorated the flat of a medium-size  Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Envelope with the DSP that coordinates with the focal panel on the card front.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you like my card and that you can find encouragement or inspiration for your own creations.
