Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow

I hope your day is going well. It looks to be a great one.

The card I am sharing today is created using one of the new stamp sets Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow, available May 4 to customers. It is definitely going to be loved by all for all occasions. It reminds me of the Butterfly Basic set from a few years ago. I loved that set. This one does have the butterfly, but you can add a butterfly from one of the butterfly stamp sets Stampin’ Up! has. There are several to choose from.

This is one of my challenges for the day, Try Stampin’ On Tuesday. They always have such great sketches to help your card making along.

And Watercooler Wednesday – Dawn’s Challenge: All About Occasions. This is a birthday card and I like to put Thinking of You as the greeting so I can say Happy Birthday when I write a note inside.

I started with a card base of Highland Heather, adding a panel from the Hand Penned DSP (available May 4 to customers) that has been matted on a panel of Basic Black card stock.

Another piece of the Hand Penned DSP is used to cut the strip down the middle. This strip is also matted on a panel of Basic Black card stock.

An oval is cropped from a panel of Basic White card stock using the largest die from the Stitched Shape Dies, retiring May 4. The largest flower image from the Quiet Meadow Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on this oval. It is then colored using Dark & Light Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blends Markers, retiring May 4, so if you like this color the way I do you need to stock up before the supply is gone. and Dark & Light Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends Markers.

The art piece is matted using Basic Black card stock, then popped over the center of the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting from the stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock, fussy cut, then matted on a Basic Black scrap which is also fussy cut and popped on the bottom of the art piece. Three jewels from the 2021-2023 Incolor Jewels are popped around the card front. Looking at the card you will assume the jewels are Basic Pearls, but they are the jewels from the 2021-2023 Incolor Jewels.

A narrow strip of the Hand Penned DSP is adhered down the side of a Basic White card stock panel and adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the card inside for writing a birthday message.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the Hand Penned DSP applied to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Moments with True Love

It is a rainy day in Georgia! Hopefully, Sunday will be sunny and warm. Today is a chilly one. Any plans for the next two days. Thank you to the people who work weekends to make my life easier and safer.

Easy card today, but it sure is taking me a long time to get to my blog posting, I accidentally deleted my Stampin’ Up! folder with all my files of SU. Boy was I in a panic! I search on the internet and found how to recover it. I had it all saved on a Flash Drive. Do not ask how I did it all I know is I have my files again even if it did take me 5 hours to accomplish it. I even asked on our group page if anyone knew how to recover but no success, I guess all are like me and mostly know computer basics. What a relief.

My card features True Love DSP, Quite Curvy Stamp Set, and Beautiful Moments Stamp Set. I started with a Basic White card stock base with a panel of the same embossed using the Subtle Embossing Folder. After all the other element were popped on this embossed panel it was adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

My inspiration design comes from the My Favorite Things Challenge.

I cut a strip of the True Love DSP and adhered down the left side of the card front. A circle for the greeting was cropped using the Stitched Circle Dies. The greeting is from the Beautiful Moments Stamp Set. I colored flowers from the True Love DSP using Pineapple Punch, Pale Papya, and Mint Macaron. They were fussy cut as there are no dies for these beautiful flowers.

A bird from the Quite Curvy Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock and fussy cut, I know there are dies, but it was such a small piece. It is colored using the same markers as the flowers. A dragonfly is fussy cut from the Dragonfly Garden DSP and popped on the card front with two of the Holiday Rhinestones added to it. One of the rhinestones is also popped above the greeting.

More flowers from True Love DSP are colored and fussy cut and adhered to the sentiment panel.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the True Love DSP. The DSP matches the flowers on the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful World

Happy Saturday everyone.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful World Stamp Set, the World Map Dies, and The World of Good DSP to create the card I am sharing with you today.

My design inspiration is the Try Stampin’ On Tuesday Challenge.

I started with a Basic Black card stock card base adding a panel of World of Good DSP to the card base. I then cut the corners from another panel of the DSP to create the corner pieces that are blue trimmed in Basic Black card stock.

The next to largest die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies is used to crop a panel from Basic White card stock. This is popped in the middle of the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Several images from the World Map Dies are cropped from World of Good DSP. Others are stamped in Misty Moonlight ink and Soft Suede ink on Basic White card stock and cropped using the World Map Dies. These are made into a collage on the Stitched So Sweetly Dies cropped Basic White card stock panel.

A greeting is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink on a Basic White scrap, then fussy cut and popped over the collage.

The sentiment is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink on a panel of Basic White card stock with an inkwell and quill stamped in the lower corner.

The medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of World of Good DSP added to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Moments

I used the Beautiful Moments Stamp Set to create this card. It is a CAS(E) of Tina Gillespie’s OnStage Sydney presentation. Click here to see her card. She created a beautiful card and I had to create one.

My challenge inspiration for today is The Card Concept — Loads of Lavender. The lavender is my inspiration.

I started with a Night of Navy card base – 4 1/4″ x 8″ – scored at 1 1/4″ and 2 1/2″ from each short end – then folded in a “Z”. I watercolored a panel of Basic White Thick card stock using Balmy Blue ink, Crumb Cake ink, and a Water Painter. After the watercolor dried, I stamped a greeting in Tuxedo Memento Black ink along with the birds. I then cut panels and adhered to the card base.

I stamped the images from Beautiful Moments Stamp Set in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a panel of Basic White Thick card stock and colored using Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green, Rococo Rose (soon to be retired) and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers.

After coloring, I fussy cut the images, using the largest to create the bridge on the card. The other lilacs, I adhered in the background and around the base of the water.

The backside of the card has a Basic White card stock panel stamped with the lilacs from the Beautiful Moments Stamp Set. They are colored using the same Stampin’ Blends Markers.

No envelope was created as I plan on keeping this card.

Stampin’ Up! Toile Christmas

My card today is created using the Toile Christmas Stamp Set, soon to be retired, and the Etched in Nature Stamp Set, in the new catalog going live for customers, May 4. The bird was a challenge to stamp, but finally success.

My design inspiration comes from two challenges today. The first is Just Add Ink. The challenge is to Just Choose Two – Feathers- Leaves- Petals.

The other is Inspire. Create Challenge # 088. The challenge is to create a project using this fabulous card from Jo Blackman as your inspiration.

My card starts with a Soft Suede card stock base with a mat of Real Red card stock for the art piece. They are adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A panel of In Good Taste DSP is cut and an image from the Toile Christmas stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink and then colored using Real Red, Granny Apple Green, and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers.

The bird is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a panel of Basic White card stock. I colored the bird & branch using Balmy Blue and Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blends Markers. I then fussy cut the bird and popped it over the berry-filled branches using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. A ladybug from Ladybug Trinkets is popped on the card front. The greeting from the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set, soon to be retired, is stamped in Soft Suede ink on the corner of the card front.

The Basic White card stock sentiment panel is left blank except for the berry branch from the Toile Christmas Stamp Set. It is colored in the same colors as the ones on the card front.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the In Good Taste DSP added to the flap.
