Stampin’ Up! Pretty Birds

September 29, 2022 custom

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Pretty Birds Stamp Set and Birdhouse Dies. This is a beautiful card. My card is a CAS of one of my team members Karen Hickam Ilsley

It took me all day to figure out how to create it but I finally was happy on the fourth try of what I created. There are a few things Karen has that I did not even notice until I looked at her card again when I started to post this.

My card base is Basic White card stock and Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper as the background. The bird cages are Coastal Cabana card stock. I used Silver Foil to crop the bird swings, also I used the negative portion of the bird swing as the mirror. I used a piece of window sheet to adhere the bird cages too. Flowers from Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper are fussy cut and adhered to the card front. One of the birds is popped over one bunch of flowers.

The birds are colored using Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide,Crumb Cake, Pale Papaya,and Fresh Freesa Stampin’ Blends Markers. The birds are then cropped and popped on the card front.

I am entering the Tic, Tac Toe Challenge. I choose Leaves, Fun Fold, and Ink Blending.

This is how the card looks when folded. This is one of those cards you make for your own pleasure, not give to someone. I am sure any person receiving it would consider it a real treasure. I, also, did not put a greeting or sentiment on the card as it isn’t going to anyone.

I prepared no envelope with Designer Series Paper as this card will not be given to anyone.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you took the time to linger and look at my other blog post and cards and that 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. Feel free to CAS(E) any card. Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me. Have a blessed day!

Stampin’ Up! Cup of Tea

The card shared today is created using Stampin’ Up! Tea Boutique DSP, Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts stamp set, Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds stamp set and 2022-2023 In Color Designer Series Paper.

I am entering the challenge at the Creative Creases Challenge. It is always a fun fold.

This is how the card looks closed. The card base is Parakeet Party card stock. You can see the diagram of how the card base is cut at this link.

This is the belly band for the card. This was a request from a friend who requested a card for her friend’s 80’s birthday. She requested teacups and ballons be the theme. Dots from Glossy Dots Assortment are popped around the belly band.

Open the card and you find 2022-2023 In Color DSP and ballons. A birthday greeting created on the computer and cropped using a die from Stylish Shapes Dies is adhered to the middle panel. Another greeting is stamped and cropped using another die from the Stylish Shapes Dies, my friend brought this stamp set and I forgot to write the set down the name. Dots from Glossy Dots Assortment are popped around the greeting.

This is a combination of a Happy Birthday and Appreciation Card. The sentiments are from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds stamp set. Balloons are punched using a ballon punch from card stock and DSP.

A medium Basic White envelope gets DSP from Tea Boutique DSP applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Wonderful World Hello There

The card I share today is created using a flower fussy cut from the Wonderful World DSP. This is a free item with a qualifying purchase during Sale-A-Bration. Look at all the beautiful flowers and imagine all the beautiful cards you can create using these flowers. I also used a greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose stamp set.

The design for my card today is inspired by the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge for today.

I have a Basic White card stock base with a panel of the same embossed using the Stripes 3D Embossing Folder from the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folders. I adhered this panel to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut a panel of Awash in Beauty DSP. Don’t you think this panel looks embossed that is just the design to give it that textured look? I stamped a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose stamp set in Tuxedo Memento Black ink and adhered this panel across the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The flower is fussy cut from a panel of Wonderful World DSP. You can see a panel at the top of this post. I popped it over the pink panel and beside the greeting using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using Crumb Cake twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack and popped it on the stem of the flower. Iridescent Rhinestone Jewels are popped around the card front.

A rose from the same panel as the flower on the card front is fussy cut and adhered to a Basic White card stock panel. The panel is then adhered to the card base.

A medium Basic White envelope gets DSP from Awash in Beauty DSP applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose Thank You Card

The card I am creating today is created using Abigail Rose DSP, the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder, two strips of different patterns of Subtle 6″ x 6″ DSP, and a greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Wildlife Wonder Stamp Set.

My design is inspired by the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge for the week.

I started with a Basic White card stock base with a panel of the same embossed using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. The panel is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Two different patterns of Subtle 6″ x 6″ DSP are cut and one flagged. They are adhered to the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The rose is fussy cut from a panel of Abigail Rose DSP and colored using a watercolor pencil. The leaves and yellow flowers are colored using Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. The greeting is from Stampin’ Up! Wildlife Wonder Stamp Set.

A panel of Basic White card stock has three strips of the Subtle 6′ x 6″ DSP adhered to the bottom of the panel.

A Basic White medium envelope gets a panel of the Subtle 6″ x 6″ DSP adhered to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves Thank You

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Intricate Leaves Dies, along with using the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Stamp Set for the greeting and sentiment. This is a CAS(E) Patricia Dominicci’s card.

613 Avenue Create is the challenge I am joining today. Their theme is anything goes with an optional twist of thanks/thankfulness.

CAS on Friday has a challenge theme of leaves, so my card is right for it.

Cut It Up Challenge has a theme of thanks or thankfulness and the project must have a die-cut. My leaf is right for this challenge.

Start with a card base of Soft Succulent card stock. Next, add a panel of Basic White that has been embossed using the Timber 3-D Embossing Folder, then mat on a panel of Evening Evergreen card stock and adhere to the card front.

Mat a panel of the Harvest Meadow DSP on a panel of Evening Evergreen and adhered to the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Crop a panel of Evening Evergreen card stock using a die from the Intricate Leaves Dies. Pop on the Harvest Meadow panel and adhere the bow colored using a Soft Succulent Blending Marker.

A greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Stamp Set is stamped on a scrap of Basic White card stock, one end flagged, then popped on the card front. Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels are popped around the card front.
