Stampin’ Up! Beautifully Happy with Brilliant Wings

Stampin’ Up! Beautifully Happy with Brilliant Wings

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Beautifully Happy stamp set and Brilliant Wings Dies.

I am entering the Sunday Stamps Challenge for this card.

I am also entering the Tic Tac Toe Challenge.  I choose down the left side, Die Cuts, Layers, and Butterfly.

I started with a Blackberry Bliss card stock card base.  I cut a panel of Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper, then cut the panel into three 1-1/2″ strips.  The strips are cut into different lengths.  They are then adhered to a Calypso Coral mat.

The panel with the Designer Series Paper is adhered to the card base.  A Basic White card stock circle is cropped using a die from the Stylish Shapes Dies.  A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Beautifully Happy stamp set is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink onto the circle.  The circle is adhered to the Designer Series Panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A die from Brilliant Wings Dies is used to crop a butterfly from Basic White card stock.  The butterfly is colored using Blending Brushes, Blackberry Bliss, and Mossy Meadow ink.  Wink of Stella is applied heavily to the butterfly so it will have lots of sparkles.   An Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewel is applied to the butterfly’s head.  The butterfly is popped on the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Mossy Meadow Braided Twine is used to create a bow.  The bow is popped onto the circle using a Glue Dot. Two more Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels are plopped around the card front.

You can see the Wink of Stella on the butterfly wings. I did a close-up as a regular photo does not show it up very well.

 

A panel of Basic White card stock gets two fussy-cut flowers from Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper adhered to the lower right corner.  The panel is left blank except for these two flowers for a handwritten message.

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

Stampin’ Up! Cottage Bouquet Thinking of You

Stampin’ Up! Cottage Bouquet Thinking of You

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Cottage Bouquet stamp set, Stampin’ Up! Potted Geraniums stamp set for one of the sentiments, Stampin’ Up! This Birthday Piggy for the greeting, Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets for one of the sentiments, and Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch for the last sentiment.  Usually, if I find a card I like on Pinterest or other places, I will save the card, but the one I saw that had this Designer Series Paper, I forgot to save and have been unable to find it to give the person credit for using the same Designer Series Paper and hearts.  I am sure I will come across it some time, things have a way of showing up on the internet long after you have seen them.

I am barely making this challenge, but happy I made it. It is the Sunday Stamps Challenge and their theme for this challenge is Let’s Celebrate.  I always like challenge that include hearts, as I used to have quite a collection of hearts collected over the years. 

I started with a Blushing Bride card stock card base. I know Petal Pink is the color listed on the pack of Designer Series Paper, but I think the Blushing Bride card stock goes best with this panel of the Texture Chic Designer Series Paper.  I cut a panel of the Texture Chic Designer Series Paper and matted it on strips of Gold Fold as I only had a small piece of the Gold Foil, but it worked and the mat looks great.

I added the Texture Chic Designer Series Paper to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I then added a strip of the same Designer Series Paper but in a different pattern on the card front.  I stamped hearts on Blushing Bride card stock and a different pattern of the Designer Series Paper.   I sprinkled Gold Embossing Powder over the Versa Mark ink and heat embossed using my heat tool. I fussy cut the hearts even though I have the punch using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Cottage Bouquet stamp set and Versa Mark ink. These hearts are popped over the Texture Chic Designer Series Paper strip using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue. 

I popped three Fine Sparkle Adhesive Backed Gems on the card front.  I stamped a greeting from Stampin’ Up! This Birthday Piggy on a label that comes in the Season of Chic Memories & More Card Pack. I wrapped two loops of Linen Thread around and placed the greeting label over it using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A panel of Texture Chic Designer Series Paper is applied to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  A panel of Basic White card stock gets sentiments from Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets stamp set, Stampin’ Up! Potted Geranium stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch stamp set stamped in Pool Party and Blushing Bride inks. The Basic White panel gets applied over the Texture Chic Designer Series Paper using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A  Basic White medium envelopes get a panel of Texture Chic Designer Series Paper added to the envelope flap.

Everyone have a great weekend.  I think the sun may shine here.  It has been a beautiful day here today and though I live in Georgia, the sky is Carolina blue as my FIL always said.  Maybe all the sunshine will help this horrible Bronchitis with this lovely cough.  I am never sick, only life-threatening things happen to me, but recently Shingles and now Bronchitis.  I must not be drinking my daily ritual of vinegar & pineapple juice is all I can think.

Stampin’ Up! Perched in A Tree

Stampin’ Up! Perched in A Tree

The card I am creating today is created using a mixture of stamp sets, Stampin’ Up! Perched in A Tree, Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets, Stampin’ Up! By My Side, and Stampin’ Up! Graceful Tiles.

I am entering the Creatalicious Challenges Anything & Everything with Paper.

I am also entering the Creative Creases Challenge as my card is a Fun Fold.

The card base is Basic White card stock cut 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″.  The front fold is a piece of Basic White card stock cut 4-1/” x 4-1/4″ scored at 1/4″ and 2-1/4″.  This is a CAS of Jo Blackman’s card and you can watch her video on YouTube for better instructions than I can give. I stamped the bird from Stampin’ Up! Perched In A Tree in Memento ink, then colored using Watercolor Pencils.  I cropped the bird using a die from Aspen Tree Dies.  I fussy cut leaves and berries from a piece of Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper and adhered under the bird using Glue Dots.

This is the way the card looks from the side.  I put a strip of Dimensionals behind where the main easel comes forward.

I stamped the flower sway from Stampin’ Up! Frames Florets stamp set in Memento ink and colored using Watercolor Pencils and Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I stamped a greeting from Stampin’ Up! By My Side stamp set on a scrap of Basic White card stock and cropped using a die from Stylish Shapes Dies.  It is matted on a piece of Balmy Blue card stock.

On the back of the first fold, I stamped another greeting from Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets stamp set in Memento Black ink.  For the back panel of the card, I stamped two sentiments from Stampin’ Up! Graceful Tiles stamp set in Memento Black ink.  I adhered the sway of flowers over the sentiment.

I made no envelope as I am mailing this card in a card box to prevent damage.

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.
