Stampin’ Up! Well Said with Feels Like Frost

November 18, 2019 admin

OnStage 2019 is but a memory and they are to be good memories, all of them! I had too much fun as you can see. Don’t I look cute in my designer gown? This is what happens when you eat chocolate and you are not supposed to eat it.🙂 Enough of what I should and should not do.

The card I am sharing is created using the Stampin’ Up! Well Written Dies and the Stampin’ Up! Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper.

The design inspiration is from Inspire. Create Challenge.

And … The Diva’s That Cut…paper — theme — Thanksgiving or thank you!

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Grape card stock and the focal panels are a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper. The word “Thanks” is cropped four times using the Stampin’ Up! Well Written Dies. The fourth one is Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock so as to make the word stand out more.

Stampin’ Up! Rhinestone Basic Jewels are randomly scattered over the card front.

The sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set and is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Grape ink as is the twig of berries from the Stampin’ Up! First Frost Stamp Set.

The Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope gets a panel of the Feels Like Frost for 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.

Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad

October 17, 2019 admin

Happy Thursday everyone! Hope your day is going to be fantastic and you accomplish much of whatever you want to do!

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Wells Said Bundle.

The design inspiration for the challenge I am entering today comes from Case This Sketch Challenge. I was skeptic at first when I saw this sketch, thinking what can I do, but once started my card has turned out rather well. I just may use this sketch for another card even if there is not a challenge.

This was an easy card again to make, just a few snips and cuts and a bit of fussy cutting and it was finished. The card base is Stampin’ Up! Basic Black card stock with a mat for the art pieces that has been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder.

The art pieces have a Basic Black mat and a Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake art piece that has been sprinkled with Tuxedo Memento Black ink using the sprinkle stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Waterfront Stamp Set.

The feathers are fussy cut from a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad DSP. The feathers make me think of Fall leaves that have changed colors, therefore, I am also playing at the Paper Players because my feathers are the colors in their challenge.

I cropped the word “thanks” 4 times using the die from the Stampin’ Up! Well Written Dies, three from Basic Black card stock and one from Stampin’ Up! Cajun Craze card stock.

The inside sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Well Said Stamp Set is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Cajun Craze ink on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock.

The Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope gets covered using a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad DSP.

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew October Blog Hop–“Giving Thanks”

October 8, 2019 admin

Welcome! It’s that time — what time is that you ask! Time for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. Our theme for October is “Giving Thanks”. It is on the second Tuesday of each month. You can always find a group of talented ladies that make up a part of Amy’s Inkin’ Krew. Be sure you check out each person’s blog, you will find much talent and inspiration. You may even find that you would like to CAS(E) one of the cards. Will let’s begin, I know you are wanting to see all the awesome cards.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Colorful Seasons Stamp Set. I have had this set for a good long time and have only used it once or twice. While making this card, I realize this is a set that can be used for a variety of cards. The card base is Stampin’ Up! Pretty Peacock card stock. The Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock panel is embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder. This being a blog hop I am listing my card challenges at the bottom of this section.

Before embossing the tree from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Beauty Stamp Set was stamped in the center of the panel along with the greeting. Here is where I made a goof. I should have done the color wash and then stamped, but I stamped and then did the wash, so the ink on the trees and the greeting smeared and I thought I had destroyed the entire card and would have to start over as all the leaves had been popped on.

I found a remedy, don’t we always come up with something to cover a boo-boo? I did my color wash on a thick piece of card stock, dried with the heat tool, then stamped my tree. I fussy cut the piece and adhered it over the goof-up. You can barely tell it is there as most of the edges fit under the leaves. If I had not told you would have probably thought I meant to do the tree that way.

I’m ahead of the process though—I colored a panel of Whisper White thick card stock using different ink colors. You can see from the picture, where I stamped each other on my glass mat and then spritzed each color as I put the card stock over it to absorb the color. You can also tell by the color of the leaves and the envelope flap that I did not have enough on the first coloring so the second coloring is a bit different in color, even with using the same ink colors.

The leaves are popped on the Whisper White embossed panel using Stampin’ Up! Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set.

The inside sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Country Home Stamp Set is stamped in ‘Stampin’ Up! Pretty Peacock ink. An image from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Beauty Stamp Set is stamped in the lower corner of the sentiment panel.

My Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope flap got a panel of the watercolor panel that I created. A tree image was stamped in the right lower corner of the envelope front

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you liked my card. You can now click on the Next button and it will take you to Akiko Sudano’s blog or the Previous button and it will take you to Jaimie Babarczy’s blog or you can click on each name listed below and you will be taken to that person’s blog. Enjoy the beautiful cards of these talented ladies. Have a blessed day.

My challenges for today are with the Inkspiration Photo Challenge. All the colors of the pebbles in the water reminds me of the many colors of leaves in the Fall.

The Library Craft Challenge. The book is The Secret Garden. The bare trees make me think of how dead everything in the garden was and how it flourished with love and care then the beauty returned, just as Autumn leaves are beautiful with their many colors in the Fall.

My challenge is with Creative with Stamps – Challenge #42 Autumn

Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake ink was used to stamp the images from the Stampin’ Up! Rooted in Nature Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Winter Woods Stamp Set on the Sahara Sand panel.

The leaves are stamped in Stampin’ Up! Grapefruit Grove and Pretty Peacock inks on Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock. Using Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Roots Dies they are cropped out. The shiny leaves were cropped using a scrap of a Stampin’ Up! Copper Foil Sheet. All these are adhered using Stampin’ Up! Glue Dots. I colored a length of Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Twine using my Stampin’ Up! Cajun Craze Stamp and Write Marker. It was wrapped around the art panel and tied in a bow.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Pretty Peacock ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock using a stamp from the Stampin Up! Rooted in Nature Stamp Set. The leaf is stamped in Grapefruit Grove in and fussy cut. I adhered it with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Come Sail Away

August 16, 2019 admin

Can you believe the week has gone so quickly? Here it is time for the weekend again and I have so much I have not gotten accomplished this week, but on to card making that is the important part of each day–right.

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Come Sail Away DSP, Stampin’ Up! Regal 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, and a greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat Stamp Set.

My challenge for the day is with Try Stampin’ – or Not – on Tuesday. It has an optional twist this week as it does on occasion. They have teamed up with Double Trouble and here is the optional twist.

THING 1: Trouble Maker

says, “Help us stir up some trouble with a 3-2-1 Recipe that can be used for any occasion.”

From: Our Kitchen at Double Trouble

Servings: Unlimited portions of Fun

Ingredients: 3 – Colors My three colors are Stampin’ Up! Balmy Blue Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy, Soft Suede — Oh but I used 4!

2 – Design Papers — Stampin’ Up! Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper and Regal 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (that’s the red one) and Whisper White card stock

1 – Sentiment or image (stamped or digital OK) — Sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat Stamp Set and birds stamped on the sentiment circle from the Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home Stamp Set

Directions: You may use more than the recipe ingredients stipulated, but you need to include at least the required minimum of each ingredient for
successful results.

I believe I have included all the ingredients for a good recipe to be created.

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock with a Stampin’ Up! Cherry Cobbler card stock mat for the Stampin’ Up! Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper focal panel.

Using a Stampin’ Up! Stitched Rectangle Die I cut a small rectangle from a panel of the Come Sail Away DSP . I cut a larger Stitched Rectangle Die out of Cherry Cobbler cardstock and adhered the Come Sail Away rectangle to it using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the rectangles to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I made a banner out of a strip of the Stampin’ Up! 6″ x 6″ Regal Designer Series Paper then made another banner out of a strip of Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy card stock. These were adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then added to the card front.

Two circles were cut from Night of Navy card stock and Come Sail Away DSP. Seagulls from the Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home Stamp Set are stamped on the Come Sail Away circle along with the greeting from Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat Stamp Set which is stamped on a small strip of Whisper White card stock and then adhered to the circle using a Stampin’ Up! Glue Dot.

The inside sentiment panel is stamped with birds from the Sailing Home stamp set and the panel left blank for note writing since this is a thank you card.

In finishing, I stamped seagulls on the front of the envelope and gave the flap a panel of DSP that coordinates with the card front.

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you like my card and return often.
