Stampin with Shirley G

Welcome!  Here it is the second Tuesday of October and you know what happens on the second Tuesday of each month.  Our team gets together, and we have a team blog hop.  We have some new members joining us this month and that is so great, makes for more beautiful cards to view created by the talented ladies on our team.

The card today is created using several stamp sets, Colorful Seasons stamp set and dies, Pleasant Pheasants, Happy Scenes a really retired Stampin Up set and the Woodlands Embossing Folder along with the Merry Christmas Dies.  The card base is Early Expresso with a Pumpkin Pie mat. The main Crumb Cake mat is embossed using the Woodlands Embossing Folder.  A pumpkin was stamped on the folder before embossing.

Though this is our monthly Team  Blog Hop, I am entering the card in the Paper Players PP413 Challenge for this week.

The leaves are cut using the Framelits Dies from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits and the Joyous Noel Glimmer Paper.  One leaf is stamped and then die cut.  The bow is a Mary Deatherage bow.  She is the one who showed us how to make it.  The bow is adhered to the bunch of leaves with a Glue Dot.

The Pumpkin is colored using Pumpkin Pie  and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.  The greeting  is stamped in Pumpkin Pie on a scrap of So Saffron and then cut using the Merry Christmas Thinlits Dies.  It is popped on the Woodlands panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals. A Faceted Dot is attached to the corner of the greeting label.

The inside sentiment is from Pleasant Pheasants stamp set. It is stamped in Pumpkin Pie on a panel of Whisper White and to give the inside panel art work, a scene from the stamp set Happy Scenes was stamped at the bottom of the sentiment panel. Watercolor pencils were used to color the scene.

Thanks for stopping by.  My wish is that you found encouragement and inspiration for your creations.  Return often.

I love how this card turned out.  My goal was to make a simple fall type card for the Freshly Made Sketch Challenge this week.  I used the Stampin Up! Colorful Seasons and Pleasant Pheasant stamp set.

Which looks the best with or without the jewel embellishments?

I started by cutting a panel of Thick Whisper White cardstock and coloring it with different watercolor pencils in fall colors–Daffodil Delight, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Early Expresso.  I then used an Aqua Painter to wet the paper well and using the brush tip I swirled the water all around to mix up the colors to make them more fall color looking.   I put this panel aside to dry  while completing other parts of the card.  Leaves will be cut from this panel when it is dry.

My card base is square 5-1/4 x 5-1/4 in Daffodil Delight.  I cut a mat from Early Expresso 5 x 5 and adhered to the card base.  A panel of Whisper White 4-3/4 x 4-3/4 was put through the Big Shot using the Subtle Embossing folder.  The leaves, once cut using the Seasonal Layer Thinlits that coordinates with the Colorful Season stamp set, will be adhered to this panel.

The inside sentiment panel is matted with and Early Expresso mat.  The sentiment is from the Thankful Thoughts stamp set.  I added the pumpkin and sunflower bucket from the Pleasant Pheasant to the sentiment panel.

Cuts for this card will be at the very end of this post.

Have A Blessed Day!  

 

These two colors makes a good combination for a simple easy card.   

Inspiration comes from the challenge this week by CAS(E) This Sketch

This is the paper used in creating my card.  Available for purchase today as this is the first day for ordering from the 2018 Holiday Catalog.

This card is so simple, I am giving the card cuts below and that is all you need for putting together. Pear Pizzazz is the card base. 11 x 4-1/4. Scored at 5-1/2.  Embossed with Subtle Embossing Folder.

• Rich Razzleberry cardstock — cut 1-3/4 x 4-1/4. It is the mat for the Frosted Floral piece.  2-3/4 x 1-1/2 piece cut for the mat of the tree from the Winter Woods Stamp Bundle–available September 5 in the 2018 Holiday catalog.  I used a white gel pen to write the greeting “Thanks”.
• Frosted Floral DSP — cut 1-1/2 x 4-1/4. Three strips cut for the inside sentiment panel.
• Whisper White cardstock — cut 4 x 5-1/4– Sentiment from the Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set.

I started this challenge with Freshly Made Sketches earlier in the week when the challenge was first posted but just could not come up with the right stamp to use for the circle in the challenge.   And then— a new shipment arrived from Stampin Up on Friday with the Frosted Floral DSP inside.  Looking through the sheets of DSP, there was one that caught my attention and I knew I had found my circle for the challenge.

You can see the DSP here that I used.  You are getting a Sneak Peak of the paper in the 2018 Holiday catalog.

My inspiration for this card as you read earlier is from Freshly Made Sketches.I used a card base of Rich Razzleberry, embossing the front using the Subtle embossing folder.  I think I have been using this embossing folder a lot lately.  

I then cut a 2-3/4-inch circle from Blackberry Bliss using the Layer Circle Framelits. I cut a 3 – inch circle using the silver side of the Frosted Floral DSP.  From the Frosted Floral DSP, a rose was fussy cut along with some leaves.  This was adhered to the center of the Blackberry Bliss circle and the circle was popped onto the Frosted Floral DSP circle using Stampin Dimensionals. This Frosted Floral circle was popped onto the Rich Razzleberry card base using Stamping Dimensionals again.

I then cut a strip of the Frosted Floral Silver side 1-1/2 x 4-1/4 and a strip 1-3/4 x 4-1/4 of the Blackberry Bliss for the mat.  I stamp “Thanks” on a small rectangle using Versa Mark and heat embossed with Stampin Silver Embossing Powder. I popped this onto the silver strip.  I added 3 pearls from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.

The inside sentiment panel of Whisper White has a tiny strip of the Frosted Floral DSP down the left side.  The sentiment “not only your thoughtful gift…” is from the Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set.

All products used in making this card are listed at the very end of this post along with card cuts.
