Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad joins Rustic Retreat and Dandelion Wishes

Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad joins Rustic Retreat and Dandelion Wishes

Happy Wednesday!  Downhill to the weekend after you get over the hump!

The card I am sharing today is quite simple.  It is a combination of Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Dandelion Wishes Stamp Set.

My challenge for the day is with CAS(E) this Sketch.  

The base is one of the new in-colors for this year– Stampin’ Up! Terracotta Tile card stock.  The next layer is a half-panel of the Terracotta Tile embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder.  

There is a Stampin’ Up! Basic Black card stock mat for the focal panel which is a panel from Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper.  All these panels are adhered together using Liquid Glue.  A length of Stampin’ Up! Terracotta Tile 1/2″ Scalloped Linen Ribbon was cut and adhered to a scrap of Basic Black card stock and then adhered to the focal panel using Liquid Glue.  The birds are fussy cut from another panel of the Bird Ballad DSP and adhered to the focal panel using Liquid Glue.  The greeting is from the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat Stamp Set and is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake ink on a scrap of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock.

The inside sentiment is from Stampin’ Up! Dandelion Wishes Stamp Set stamped in Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock that has been decorated with strips from the same panel of DSP that the focal point is cut.  This panel is adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue.

In 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.  The lower right corner of the envelope front was decorated also.

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

Stampin’ Up! Dandelion Wishes

Stampin’ Up! Dandelion Wishes

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.

Humming Along with Climbing Roses and Botanical Butterfly

Humming Along with Climbing Roses and Botanical Butterfly

My card today is a mix of two stamp sets and DSP, Humming Along and Climbing Roses stamp sets and Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (DSP).  I sure wish that this DSP would carry over to the new Annual Catalog, but unfortunately, it probably will not happen.  I can’t remember, but maybe it has, a DSP being carried over.

My design comes from the Sunday Stamps Challenge. for this week.

My card base is Pumpkin Pie card stock cut 4-1/4″ x  11″, scored at 5-1/2″ and folded on the scoreline.

  • Next comes a 2-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ panel of Night of Navy that has been embossed with the Pinewood Plank  Embossing Folder.
  • A 2-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ panel of Pumpkin Pie card stock is next.  It is also embossed using the Pinewood Plank Embossing Folder.
  • The Night of Navy and Pumpkin Pie panels are adhered to the Pumpkin Pie card base using Liquid Glue.
  • A Whisper White label is cut using one of the dies from the Rose Trellis Thinlits Dies.
  • The greeting is stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink using a stamp from the Climbing Roses stamp set.
  • A large and small butterfly is cut from a panel of the Botanical Butterfly DSP.
  • The large butterfly is popped on the upper corner of the Night of Navy panel using a Stampin’ Dimensional.
  • The small butterfly is popped on the greeting label that has been popped into the center of the card front.
  • Three sequins from the Sequin Assortment are scattered over the card front.
  • A bow (I call it a Mary bow as she is the one who showed me how to make it) is adhered to the center of the greeting label with a Glue Dot.
  • The inside sentiment from the Humming Along stamp set is stamped in Blueberry Bushel on a panel of Whisper White that has been cropped using the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies.  It is adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue.

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope  you like my card and find encouragement for inspiration from it.  Visit again soon.  Have a blessed day.  Some days you just want to give up and say what the heck!

Stampin’ Up! Animal Outing

Stampin’ Up! Animal Outing

Welcome, this cold day in Georgia!  I know our cold is nothing compared to the folks in the Midwest.  You are really having cold, freezing,  and potentially life-threatening weather.  I hope everyone has a warm spot.  I think of the homeless and know some are out in this freezing weather.  Everyone have a safe and warm day.  Stay inside and make cards.

My inspiration and design today comes from the Global Design Project.  Check it out!

The card base is Balmy Blue card stock embossed with the Subtle TIEF.

The Animal Expedition DSP which is matted using a panel of Shaded Spruce card stock is used for the wide banner across the card.  A length of Linen Thread is wrapped around the banner 3 times and two leaves from the Butterfly Elements (free during Sale-A-Bration with a $50 purchase).  One of the leaves is colored using a Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Write Marker.  The banner is adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue.

The focal piece is cut from a panel of the Animal Expedition DSP using the Layering Oval Framelits Dies and matted on Shaded Spruce card stock using a larger die to cut it.  Get Well from the Well Said stamp set is stamped so it looks as if the giraffe is saying it.  It is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink.  This is popped over the banner using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  A few sequins are scattered around the card front to give a little bling.  That does it for the card front.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a panel of Whisper White that has a border cut from the Animal Expedition DSP.  Shaded Spruce card stock is used as a mat.

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

Botanical Butterfly DSP and Humming Along

Botanical Butterfly DSP and Humming Along

Welcome!

Another easy card that beginning card makers will love. Making this card a beginner will know that they too can make beautiful cards as many say, “Oh I couldn’t ever make that”.  I am using parts of three different stamp sets; Postcard Pals from the Annual Catalog, Humming Along and Butterfly Gala from the upcoming 2019 Occasions Catalog available for ordering January 3, 2019. The Botanical Butterfly DSP  is  from the upcoming 2019  Sale-A-Brations catalog ( free with a $50 order) to create my card this week.

The sketch layout for this card is from Sunday Stamps.  It is a great layout.

The card base is Balmy Blue, cut 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″.  A panel of Pear Pizzazz ( 5″ x 3-3/4″ is adhered to a panel of Basic Black card stock with Liquid Glue.  A  small panel from the Botanical Butterfly DSP (Sale-a-bration item available Jan 3) pack  is adhered to a panel of Basic Black card stock with Liquid Glue.  A length of Whisper White Twine is wrapped it and tied in a bow.  This is then popped on the Pear Pizzazz panel using Stamping Dimensionals.  The layered panel was adhered to the Balmy Blue card base using Liquid Glue.

The decorative mat for the butterfly is cut using the Beautiful  Layers Thinlits Dies on a scrap of Whisper White card stock.  The butterfly is fussy cut from one of the panels in the Botanical Butterfly DSP pack.  They are adhered to the black and white check panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals, Liquid Glue and Glue Dots.  Two Sequins from the Iridescent  Sequin Assortment is adhered to the right corner using a drop of Liquid Glue.

The inside sentiment is stamped using Memento Black ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock that has a Basic Black mat.  The butterfly images were stamped using Lemon Lime Twist and Balmy Blue ink.

You can see the supplies used for creating this card at the bottom of the post along with the card cuts.

Thank you for stopping by today.  My wish as always is that you find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.
