Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden

Happy Friday everyone. I hope your day is going great and you are enjoying the chilly weather. Let it stay chilly, not cold or snow!

I am sharing another card made with the fabulous Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden stamp set (available January 2021). I am also using the Stampin’ Up! Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Dragonflies Punch.

My challenge is with Cute Card Thursday – Anything Goes.

And

Craftyhazelnut’s Patterned Paper Challenge – Use patterned paper.

I started with a card base of Stampin’ Up! Bumblebee card stock with a layer of Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow card stock for the mat for the Stampin’ Up! Dandy Garden DSP. The DSP is a piece that had a portion cropped out for another card. I decided to use the negative space so I stamped flowers and dragonflies from the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden stamp set onto a panel of Whisper White card stock and placed the negative portion over the flowers.

A length of Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow 3/16″ Braided Trim is wrapped around the DSP and tied in a bow. A little dragonfly from the DSP is fussy cut and popped on the flowers in the negative space. Three Stampin’ Up! Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels are added to the card front, one being the head of the large dragonfly that was punched using the Stampin’ Up! Dragonflies Punch. Now everything is ready to pop onto the card base. The greeting is from Stampin’ Up! Autumn Goodness stamp set which will be retiring soon.

The inside sentiment panel gets a panel of DSP from the Dandy Garden DSP with a dragonfly stamped in Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow ink and colored using Stampin’ Up! Light & Dark Pumpkin Pie Blends. The sentiment is also from the Autumn Goodness stamp set.

A Whisper White envelope gets a panel of the Dandy Garden DSP added to the envelope flap.

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! Flowers For Every Season

Aren’t we having a glorious Fall day?

There are three challenges that inspired me for today:

Freshly Made Sketches for a clean and simple design.

Watercooler Wednesday with Helen’s Challenge: All About Occasions. My occasion is Thanksgiving. Recently I have been making Thanksgiving cards for my sister and they all have the same greeting and sentiment.

The Sisterhood of Crafter – their challenge is embossing wet or dry. I have dry embossed my card.

Three days ago was the beginning of the card I am sharing today from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Goodness Stamp Set for the greeting, Stampin’ Up! Sunflower Dies, Stampin’ Up! Ornate Floral Embossing Folder, and Stampin’ Up! Flowers for Every Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. You can see it is bright and cheery, not your typical fall card colors.

I started with a Stampin’ Up! Just Jade card stock base added a Stampin’ Up! Just Jade card stock layer embossed with the Stampin’ Up! Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder.

A panel of Whisper White card stock was cut and adhered for the mat to the Stampin’ Up! Flowers For Every Season DSP panel. Two different pieces of the DSP is used. The leaves motif is cropped from a scrap when the Ornate Floral embossed panel was cut. A die from the Stampin’ Up! Sunflower Dies was used. It is adhered using Multipurpose Glue to several leaves. The “Thankful for You” greeting is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Just Jade ink on a scrap of Whisper White card stock and using the smallest die from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Rectangle Dies is cropped and popped on the card front using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The inside sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Goodness Stamp Set and is stamped in Just Jade ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock. A strip of the same DSP used on the card front is added to the side of the panel.

A Stampin’ Up! Medium Whisper White envelope gets a layer of DSP from the Stampin’ Up! Flowers For Every Season DSP.

Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy

The card starts out with a regular 4-14″ x 11″ card base in Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock scored at 5-1/2″. The way the card folds you will still have a panel for your inside sentiment and it forms the base to prop up the double easel.

I want to enter this Dream Valley challenge again as the theme is More than one fold

And 613 Avenue Create — Anything Goes — Optional Twist Winged Things– how nice that I get to do the optional also as birds have wings.

For the easel portion, I used a 4″ x 10 1/4″ piece of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock and scored it at 2-1/2” and at 5”. The first score line (2-1/2”) is folded as a valley and the second one (5”) as a mountain. Burnish both folds well so the card will be easier to lay flat. This is adhered to the standard card base.

Using a die from the Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy Bundle, I cropped the piece that looks like a slide. You will end up with two panels that look like small mountain slides. #1 goes on the inside fold of the card below the greeting. You can see where the two panels go in the photo below. Using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, have the bottom edges even so the mountain looking part will extend above the fold.

#2 get the panel that has been cropped using another of the dies from the Quite Curvy Bundle. Each leaf is colored using Stampin’ Blends — Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron, Poppy Parade, Crumb Cake. A pencil was used to draw the leaf veins.

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Goodness Stamp Set is used to stamp the shock of corn and pumpkins. I had to fussy cut because I made the mistake of just ordering the stamp set thinking I was ordering the bundle. The little birds are from the Quite Curvy Stamp Set.

The greeting is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Cajun Craze and is from the Quite Curvy Stamp Bundle. The garland of leaves is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends in Pumpkin Pie, Poppy Parade, Old Olive, Crumb Cake, and Mango Melody and cropped with a die from the bundle. It is adhered across the top of the card above the greeting. The panel and all the pieces that form the easel are embossed using Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder.

A Stampin’ Up! Medium size envelope is stamped on the envelope flap and on the lower front of the envelope with the garland of leaves and colored.

Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Thank You!

Happy Monday all, I am hoping for a sunny day here today. I hope everyone had a nice weekend.

This is not the card intended for today, you were going to see a card created using Stampin’ Up!’s new Quite Curvy Stamp Set but since we all need a little sunshine, I decided to share Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set. It makes a cheery and bright card. At the time I made this I could not find my package of Stampin’ Up! Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper (DSP) so I made a strip to use. I think it turned out rather nice.

inspiration for today comes from Cute Card Thursday – Dies and Punches is the theme.And…

Watercooler Wednesday–WWC292- Dawn’s Challenge: Anything Goes With a Feminine Twist.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Ornate Layers Dies for the Stampin’ Up! Whisper White panel behind the sunflower. The sunflower is stamped using Stampin’ Up! Crushed Curry ink on a panel of Crushed Curry card stock. The veins of the sunflower are cropped from a panel of Stampin’ Up! So Saffron card stock using the vein sunflower die from Stampin’ Up! Sunflower Dies.

I used a strip of Whisper White card stock to create my DSP using the small sunflower in the Celebrate Sunshine Stamp Set. I used the pen tip of a Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy Stampin’ Write Marker to make the dots on the card stock and a white gel pen (non-Stampin’ Up!) to make the white dots. This DSP is what you can call paper piecing as I pieced many bits together to get the right look. The leaves of the large sunflower are stamped on Stampin’ Up! Shaded Spruce card stock using Shaded Spruce ink.

There is no inside sentiment as this is a thank you card and I want to write a note.

Stampin’ Up! Tropical Oasis

April 26, 2020 admin

Happy Day everyone! I hope you are going to have a blessed Sunday.

The card today is created using Stampin’ Up! Tropical Oasis Memories and More Card Pack, Grace’s Garden Stamp Set, the Beautifully Braided Stamp Set, and Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper.

The inspiration for the card today comes from the Watercooler Wednesday – Dawn’s Challenge: All About Occasions Challenge.

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Cajun Craze card stock. Then a mat of Stampin’ Up! Pear Pizzazz card stock. Next comes a card from the Tropical Oasis Memories and More Card Pack that has been trimmed to fit the card. A flower is fussy cut from the Tropical Oasis DSP and popped across a piece of the Stampin’ Up! Braided Linen Trim.

The sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Beautifully Braided Stamp Set and is stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock with a flower stamped and colored in the right corner.

To finish the card project, the envelope is given a panel of the Tropical Oasis DSP.

All the card cuts are at the end of this post.
