Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home with Friends Are Like Seashells

Sunday everyone, are you watching the Indy 500, which seems to be a Memorial Day tradition. I have a race fan so of course, he’s watching waiting for the NASCAR one after this one is over.

The card I am sharing today is a combination of Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home and Friends Are Like Seashells Stamp Sets along with the Smooth Sailing Dies and the Seabed Embossing Folder.

My inspiration for today’s card is the Card Concept Challenge. I love the overall theme, but did not make it red, white, and blue.

The card base is Basic White card stock with a panel of the Whale of A Time DSP embossed using the Seabed Embossing Folder, then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A panel of Basic White card stock is embossed using the Seabed Embossing Folder and adhered over the Whale Of A Time DSP panel.

The ship’s wheel and a portion of the seagrass are cropped from the same panel of DSP as the background panel. The seashells and starfish are stamped in Just Jade ink on Pearlescent Specialty Paper, fussy cut, and popped over the Seabed embossed panel. The lighthouse and sailboat are from the Sailing Home Stamp Set and are stamped in Just Jade ink, cropped, and popped on the Basic White panel. The ship’s wheel gets a Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewel popped in the middle of the wheel. The ship’s wheel is popped against the lighthouse.

The inside panel of Basic White card stock has three sailboats from the Sailing Home Stamp Set stamped in Just Jade ink, then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Whale Of A Time DSP applied to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms with Grace’s Garden

Happy sunny Saturday or I hope it is sunny where you are!

The card I am sharing today is another made using Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms. I have also used the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder and the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

Inspiration for my challenge today is from Addicted to Stamps and More — theme this week is Make Your Mark.

And Little Red Wagon Challenge — their theme is flowers

I started with a Basic White card stock base with a panel of the same embossed using the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder, then adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the card base.

A panel of the Hand Penned DSP is cropped using an Ornate Frames Die and adhered over the embossed panel. Blossoms from the Forever Blossom Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a Basic White card stock panel then cropped using a Stitched So Sweetly Die. The blossoms are colored using Melon Mambo ink and alcohol. I mixed the two together and then used extra alcohol to get the right color of pink. I used a Stampin’ Blends Color Blender marker that no longer worked to add the ink to the blossoms. The leaves are colored using a Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Marker.

The blossoms are also stamped on the top of the inside panel leaving ample space for a note of birthday wishes, thinking of you, sympathy, or any type of note.

Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies

Happy Day everyone. You are one day closer to a three-day weekend, are you excited. Once upon a time we would be camping in the mountains between North Carolina and Tennessee. You had to have a jeep to get to the camp or walk. My friend and I usually would walk because it was so rugged and scary in places that we chose to walk. We could walk faster than the jeeps could go.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin” Up! Painted Poppies Stamp Set, the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set, the Poppy Moment and Painted Label Dies.

My inspiration for today comes from the Double D Challenge. I chose the poppies as it is May and soon Memorial Day.

I started with a Basic White card stock base with a panel of the same cropped using a die from the Poppy Moment Dies. This panel is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue in several spots.

The poppies from the Painted Poppies Stamp Set are stamped on Basic White card stock using Tuxedo Memento Black Ink. Let the ink dry well or use your heat tool to dry before you color. I learned the hard way. The ink will run and I have never had that before with Memento ink when using alcohol markers. The poppies are colored using Poppy Parade, Petal Pink, Real Red, Flirty Flamingo, Calypso Coral, and the Color Blender Stampin’ Blends Markers. I had a hard time getting the color of pink I wanted, I can not tell you how many combinations I tried in order to get that pink. Petal Pink is just not that color and there is no Blushing Bride marker. Granny Apple Green is used for the leaves.

The poppies are arranged and popped on the card front over the cropping using Mini Glue Dot. Several Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels are scattered around the card front. I only used a portion of the greeting from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set.

A poppy from the Painted Poppies Stamp Set is stamped in the corner of a Basic White panel and colored using the Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green markers, then popped on the card base.

Stampin’ Up! Forever Fern

Can we call this Wacky Wednesday? That is usually the way it goes. Hope your day is going fantastic.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Forever Fern Stamp Set and the new 2021-2023 In colors Classic Stamp Pads, along with the Ornate Frames Dies, the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder, and a butterfly from the Brilliant Wings Dies.

Sunday Stamps has some great colors for their challenge this week, so I have chosen to participate as their colors match the new In colors so well.

I started with a card base of Soft Succulent card stock with a panel of the same embossed using the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder. The embossed panel is adhered to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. A Basic White card stock panel is cropped using a die from the Ornate Frame Dies. This panel is also adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Using the Forever Fern Stamp Set and the new In Colors the images are stamped in Polished Pink, Evening Evergreen, Pale Papaya and an old basic Calypso Coral ink. Once all are stamped they are cropped using the Forever Flourishing Dies. I then arranged them on the Basic White card stock panel, took a picture so I would know how to adhere them on the panel and then adhered. I cropped a butterfly from Basic White card stock using a butterfly die from the Brilliant Wing Dies.

Using the dot stamp from the Forever Fern Stamp Set, dots are stamped in Evening Evergreen around the floral arrangement. A greeting is stamped in Soft Succulent ink on the Basic White panel in the upper corner. A Champagne Basic Jewel is popped beside the greeting.

Two images from the Forever Fern Stamp Set is stamped in Pale Papaya and Evening Evergreen ink on a Basic White panel.

A medium Basic White envelope gets art using Forever Fern stamped to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms

Happy Wednesday! If you have been keeping up with Mary and Amy it looks as if they are having loads of fun, and special treats to eat. They well deserve this fun trip.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms Stamp Set. It is a carryover to the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. I also use Love You Always DSP, Stitched So Sweetly Dies, Meadow Moments Embossing Folder along the the card stock.

My color inspiration comes from the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge. I have pink cherry blossoms.

The theme for Make My Monday Challenge is Sympathy. I have made one with the greeting Thinking of You and a lovely sentiment inside.

This will be a fun challenge as it is a fun fold card challenge — Creative Creases Challenge.

The card base is Sahara Sand card stock. This is a fun fold card so there are two score lines to fold. On the front panel, a panel of Blushing Bride card stock is embossed using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder, then adhered to the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Two different design panels from Love You Always DSP is adhered to the card base. You can see from the card above where the DSP is adhered.

Using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies two different size panels are cropped using two of the dies. I believe it is the largest and next to the largest. One is from Sahara Sand card stock the other Basic White card stock and this one has the sentiment stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink.

Cherry blossoms are also stamped in the corner and colored using Rococo Rose and Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends Markers, along with the color lifter marker. Mine was a bit dry, so I poured a little alcohol in a glass cup and dipped the marker in it then dropped the alcohol on the images of the cherries to get the color I desired.

A loopy bow is made using Basic White twine and popped on one of the flowers stems using Multipurpose Glue Several sequins are placed around the entire card.

Cherry blossoms are also stamped on the panel of Basic White card stock that is adhered to the back panel. They are colored with the same markers as the other blossoms.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Love You Always DSP applied to the envelope flap.
