Stampin’ Up! Flowering Foils

Stampin’ Up! Flowering Foils

Hello everyone, it looks like it will be another soggy day in Georgia!  Don’t you just love me giving the weather forecast?

The card today is created using the Flowering Foils Designer Series Paper, a product of the 2nd release of Sale-A-Bration, Stampin’ Up! Well Said Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Forever Lovely Stamp Set.  This card is similar to one I have made recently, someone wanted to know what it would look like if it had a black card base and the colors I have used.  Now we know!

My inspiration for today comes from the Joy of Sets Challenge.  I chose watercolor, embossing, and floral.

Start with a Stampin’ Up! Basic Black card stock base, add a panel of the same card stock embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Stone 3D Embossing Folder matted on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock.   Adhere to the base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

One focal panel is cut from Stampin’ Up! 6″ x 6″ 2018-2020 Incolor Designer Series Paper and the other is cut from Stampin’ Up! Old Olive card stock that has been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Scripty 3D Embossing Folder.  A Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Craft Inkpad is lightly rubbed over the embossing so the scripty embossing will show up more. They are both matted on a Whisper White mat.  The Stampin’ Up! Stitched So Sweetly Die is used to crop the label panel for the greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Well Said Stamp Set and for the flower to be popped onto.  Stampin’ Up! Rhinestone Basic Jewels are colored using a Stampin’ Up! Dark Lovely Lipstick Stampin’ Blends Marker then popped on the label.

The blossom is watercolored using Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lipstick and Old Olive Classic Stamp Pads and an Aqua Painter. Drag your stamp pads over a piece of aluminum foil and add water from your Aqua Painter.  I have found this the easiest method when watercoloring.  I have also used a mirror to do the same.  I even colored a length of the Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Polka Tulle Ribbon, you can see it behind the Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Baker’s Twine wrapped around the card.  A triple loop bow is made and popped on the blossom using a Stampin’ Up! Glue Dot.

The sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Forever Lovely Stamp Set is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lipstick ink on a Whisper White panel.  Blossoms from the Stampin’ Up! Flowering  Foils Designer Series Paper are watercolored along with the blossom on the card front. 

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! Forever Blossoms

Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms

Happy Sunday everyone, I hope you have a fantastic day.  We still have a bit of snow hanging around making the landscape look ugly as it melts.  Hopefully, this will be all we get for the year.  

I am featuring the Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms Stamp Set in today’s cards.  I am also using the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthday Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Sending You Thoughts Stamp Set.

The design inspiration comes from this week’s challenge with Case This Sketch. 

 

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Pool Party card stock with a background panel from the Stampin’ Up! Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper that has been matted on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Soft Suede card stock.  The Happy Birthday is from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthday Stamp Set.

A  short panel of Stampin’ Up! Pool Party card stock is embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder.

A panel of Stampin’ Up! Petal Pink card stock is cropped using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched So Sweetly Dies and the blossoms from the Forever Blossoms Stamp Set is stamped in Soft Suede ink on the Petal Pink panel.  The blossoms are then colored using  Light and Dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers and Light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Marker.  A small Whisper White Baker’s Twine bow is popped on the blossoms stem.

The sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Sending You Thoughts Stamp Set, stamped in Stampin’ Up! Soft Suede ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock the same as the blossoms are.  The blossoms are then colored using Stampin’ Up! Light and Dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends  Marker and Light Granny Apple Green Stampin Blends Marker.

In finishing my project for today, I gave a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope flap a panel of the Parisian Blossoms DSP to match the card front.

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! Meant To Be Forever Lovely

Stampin’ Up! Meant To Be Forever Lovely

Cheery Monday everyone!  The weekend is for now and it’s off to work again!  Aren’t you blessed you can go to work,  so you can add funds to your bank account to buy the toys you love.🙂

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Real Red card stock as is the focal panel that has been stamped with Versa Mark ink using one of the heart stamps from Stampin’ Up! Meant To Be Stamp Set. 

The inspiration for my card today comes from the Creative With Stamps — Red

And…

Fusion–It’s  All about the elements.  I believe my card will work for both the sketch and the photo!

 

 A Whisper White card stock square is popped on the focal panel.  A red heart cropped from Real Red card stock using a die from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Me Mine Dies is the mat for the lacy heart cropped from a panel of Whisper White card stock that has been cropped with the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Lace Dies.  

Using the birthday cake stamp from Stampin’ Up! Happy Birthday To You Stamp Set, a cake is stamped in Smokey Gray ink and colored using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blends Markers in Light and Dark Real Red, Light Granny Apple Green, and Dark Pineapple Punch.  The flowers are cropped from the cake using the Stampin’ Up! Birthday Dies. They are then popped on the heart.  Several Stampin’ Up! Several Stampin’ Up! Pearl Basic Jewel and Rhinestone Basic Jewels are scattered randomly around the card front.  The “love” is cropped using the die from the Stampin’ Up! Well Written Dies.

There is no inside sentiment at this time as I do not know the recipient for now.

In finishing my project for today, I stamped a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope flap with a stamp from the Meant To Be Stamp Set.

“Now that you know, what will you do to END IT? Save the date. Join with FREEDOM FIGHTERS around the world on 2.13.20 as we SHINE A LIGHT ON SLAVERY! On that day, draw a RED X on your hand, take a selfie and post it using #ENDITMOVEMENT. Help us tell the world by telling your world.” https://enditmovement.com
