I Love You – Stampin with Shirley G

Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine

February 14, 2024 admin

The card I am sharing is created using Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Hooray For Surprises stamp set, Deckled Circle Dies, and Most Adored Designer Series Paper (a Sale-a-Bration item free with a qualified purchase).

This is a Fun Fold card called a Twisted Step Card. It may look complicated but it is an easy one to create. This is a CAS of one of Lisa Curcio’s cards. The middle piece that is usually straight on a regular step card is twisted a bit to give it a slant. The bee is from Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine stamp set and is stamped in Crushed Curry ink and Memento Black ink on a piece of Basic White card stock. The wings are stamped in Bubble Bath ink and brushed with Balmy Blue ink using a Blending Brush. The

The sentiment is also from the same stamp set and is stamped in Memento Black ink on a scrap of Basic White cardstock. The greeting is cut into pieces using paper snips. The one piece is colored using a Real Red Stampin’ Blends Marker. A jar of honey is fussy cut from a piece of the Bee Mine Designer Series Paper and popped on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

This is how the card looks from a side view.

The inside panel of the card gets a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Hooray For Surprises stamp set stamped in Memento Black ink on a Basic White panel. It is matted on a panel of Real Red card stock. Bees are fussy cut from a panel of Bee Mine Designer Series Paper and adhered to the sentiment panel.

A medium Basic White envelope get a piece of Bee Mine Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet

February 3, 2024 admin

This card was created using Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set from the Annual Catalog. There are still many great stamps in there that we need to use because April is fast approaching and many will be gone. I used the Softly Sophisticated 3D Embossing Folder and Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper.

I am entering Try A Sketch On Tuesday Challenge for this card.

My card base is Gorgeous Grape cardstock with a panel of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper matted on a panel of Crumb Cake. A different pattern of the Designer Series Paper is cut in three strips and matted first on a Basic White cardstock mat, then a Gorgeous Grape cardstock mat. They are arranged across the card front.

A strip of Real Red cardstock is stamped with a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage stamp set, the piece is flagged and adhered across the card front. Hearts are stamped in Real Red and Gorgeous Grape inks on Basic White cardstock. They are punched using the Country Bouquet Punch. A Basic White circle is die cut from Basic White cardstock using a die from Stylish Shape Dies. The hearts are arranged on the circle. The circle is popped over the Real Red strip using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Three 2023-2024 In Color Dots were colored using a Real Red Stampin’ Blends. They look more Cherry Cobbler, guess that’s from coloring over the already colored dot.

A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage stamp set in Gorgeous Grape and Real Red inks. Two hearts are adhered on the bottom of the panel that are stamped in the same colored.

Three hearts are stamped on the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Lifetime of Love

February 2, 2024 admin

I used Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Lifetime Of Love stamp set. I had used two dies from the Lifetime Of Love Dies before but these dies in the picture I have not used before. Also, the stamp for the sentiment has never been used before.

I am joining the NBUS Challenge as I have never used some of the dies and stamps that I used in creating this card.

I am not giving directions for this card at the moment as I seem to have been having problems with my eyes for days and it is hard to see the screen very well. If anyone would like to have the directions let me know and I will get them to you when I can see better. This is a CAS of Sandy Hancock’s card. You can get instructions from her YouTube.

Stampin’ Up! Pretty Birds Love & Big Hugs

February 17, 2023 custom

The card I am sharing today is a Fun Fold, I call it a double z-Fold, it may have another name but since I do not know so, I will just call it a double Z-Fold. I created this card using Stampin’ Up! Pretty Birds stamp set and the new Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper, available to customers March 1.

I am entering the Creative Creases Challenge. I am thrilled to be playing along for their second anniversary. Thank you for creating Creative Creases, I love Fun Folds.

Start by cutting all the card stock and designer series paper, fussy cutting the flowers from a piece of Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper. Crop the bird cages and bird perches from Basic White card stock using a die from the Pretty Bird Dies.

The card base is Basic White card stock cut 4-1/4″ x 11″. Score a 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4″. The first fold is a mountain fold, the second is a valley fold the same way you would fold a regular card. Cut two strips 1″ x 11″ and score at 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4″. Cut Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper for the background and strips on the two Z-Fold strips. Stamp in Memento Black ink birds from Stampin’ Up! Pretty Birds stamp set. Color the birds using Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide, Pale Papaya, Daffodil Delight, and Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends Markers. Arrange the pieces of the card according to the photo above. The bird on the perch in the middle is attached to the perch using a piece of tape and a Glue Dot. The chain of the perch is adhered to the top Z-fold using a piece of tape.

This how the card looks folded. The card will fit a regular envelope.

A Basic White envelope gets a panel of Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet Just Want To Say!

February 13, 2023 custom

The card I am sharing today is a CAS of one Mary Deatherage created. I went to Pinterest to get some ideas, they all seem to have left my brain these days. I was looking through and come upon this one, thinking “Oh this is beautiful it will make a beautiful card. I started looking at how to create it and realized I did not know how the top part was tilted forward, so I clicked on the picture and where I go but to Mary’s blog. No wonder I loved the card. I think I may just start CASing her cards so my brain can rest for a while, it is so overloaded these days

I am entering the Tic Tac Toe Challenge. I choose Heart, Free, Die Cut.

I started with a panel of Sweet Sorbet card stock cut at 4-1/4″ x 11 scored at 5-1/” and 6-3/4″. Fold the card in half as usual, then fold the other score line in the opposite direction. Apply Multipurpose Liquid Glue in the space between the score line and adhere it to the bottom portion of the card. This creates your card base. A 1″ x 4″ piece of Balmy Blue card stock is cut and a 7/8″ x 3-7/8″ piece of Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper is cut and adhered to it and then adhered to the top portion of the card.

I cut three pieces of Balmy Blue card stock, one is cut 1″ x 4″, and the other two pieces are cut 4″ x 4″. I cut two pieces of Basic White card stock 3-7/8″ x 3-7/8″. I embossed the two pieces of Basic White card stock using Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder after the sprigs are stamped in Mossy Meadow ink onto the Basic White panel. I also stamp extra sprigs that I fussy cut to add extra sprigs to the hearts on the card front.

Two hearts are fussy cut from Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper. On heart is stamped in Blushing Bride ink on a piece of Basic White card stock. I fussy cut this heart also as I could not find my punch. The hearts and sprigs are arranged on the embossed panel and adhered with either Stampin’ Dimensionals or Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Bling is added from Iridescent Pastel Gems, Fine Sparkle Adhesive Back Gems, and Iridescent Sequins from a Paper Pumpkin.

A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on a Basic White panel. A heart & sprigs from the same stamp set are stamped in Blushing Bride and Mossy Meadow ink. The Basic White panel is then adhered to a Balmy Blue card stock mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhered to the card base.

A Basic White medium envelope gets a heart stamped to the envelope flap in Blushing Bride ink, the leaves are Mossy Meadow ink.
