Strong and Beautiful Detailed with Love

Strong and Beautiful Detailed with Love

Comments 6 comments

My card today is created using the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper and the Strong and Beautiful and Detailed with Love stamp sets.

My inspiration today is from the As You See It Challenge–the challenge is Starburst and Lace.

And… 

This card is a really easy and simple card.  The card base is from Smokey Slate card stock with a Blushing Bride mat for the focal panel of flowers from the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper (DSP). 

A length of Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon is wrapped around the focal panel and mat and tied in a bow.  Using the Delicate Lace Edgelits a piece is cut to add a bit of lacy edging to the bottom of the floral focal panel.  Seems I have used this  DSP a lot this week.OK

The greeting is stamped in Smokey Slate on a circle of Whisper White card stock that is matted with another circle that is cut from Smokey Slate card stock.  It is popped on the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Three  Basic Adhesive Backed Sequins are added to the greeting on the card front.

A floral panel is cut from the Petal Promenade DSP and the sentiment is stamped in Smokey Slate ink.  The sentiment is from the Strong and Beautiful stamp set and is adhered with Liquid Glue to the Blushing Bride mat which is then adhered to the Smokey Slate card base.

Thank you for stopping by today.  Hope you love my card as much as I loved making it.  Have a blessed day!

My card today is a mix of two stamp sets and DSP, Humming Along and Climbing Roses stamp sets and Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (DSP).  I sure wish that this DSP would carry over to the new Annual Catalog, but unfortunately, it probably will not happen.  I can’t remember, but maybe it has, a DSP being carried over.

My design comes from the Sunday Stamps Challenge. for this week.

My card base is Pumpkin Pie card stock cut 4-1/4″ x  11″, scored at 5-1/2″ and folded on the scoreline.

  • Next comes a 2-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ panel of Night of Navy that has been embossed with the Pinewood Plank  Embossing Folder.
  • A 2-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ panel of Pumpkin Pie card stock is next.  It is also embossed using the Pinewood Plank Embossing Folder.
  • The Night of Navy and Pumpkin Pie panels are adhered to the Pumpkin Pie card base using Liquid Glue.
  • A Whisper White label is cut using one of the dies from the Rose Trellis Thinlits Dies.
  • The greeting is stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink using a stamp from the Climbing Roses stamp set.
  • A large and small butterfly is cut from a panel of the Botanical Butterfly DSP.
  • The large butterfly is popped on the upper corner of the Night of Navy panel using a Stampin’ Dimensional.
  • The small butterfly is popped on the greeting label that has been popped into the center of the card front.
  • Three sequins from the Sequin Assortment are scattered over the card front.
  • A bow (I call it a Mary bow as she is the one who showed me how to make it) is adhered to the center of the greeting label with a Glue Dot.
  • The inside sentiment from the Humming Along stamp set is stamped in Blueberry Bushel on a panel of Whisper White that has been cropped using the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies.  It is adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue.

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope  you like my card and find encouragement for inspiration from it.  Visit again soon.  Have a blessed day.  Some days you just want to give up and say what the heck!

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop “Celebrate Spring”

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop “Celebrate Spring”

Comments 14 comments

Welcome everyone—it’s that time —  the second Tuesday of the month—that means it is time for our Inkin’ Krew monthly blog hop.  It is going to be exciting to see what all the other team members have created.  I know you are going to see lots of ideas and inspiration for your own creations.   Our theme for March is “Celebrate Spring”!  Now on to the hop!  Enjoy!!

My card is created with the You’re Inspiring Stamp Set.  Since our theme is “Celebrate Spring” this stamp set is so appropriate being it has daffodils.

The design comes from Inspire Create Challenge #038 for this week.

 

The card base is Lemon Lime Twist card stock.  Lemon Lime Twist will probably be retired this year so I am trying to use it up before that time.  A panel of Bermuda Bay card stock has been embossed with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder and adhered to the card base with Liquid Glue.

The inspirations and design comes from  Inspire Create Challenge

Two mats have been cut for the focal panel which is cut from a panel of the Botanical Butterfly DSP, one is Lemon Lime Twist, the other Basic Black card stock.  They are all adhered together using Liquid   Glue. 

A Whisper White circle is cut using a Layering Circle Die and adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The daffodils are stamped on thick Whisper White card stock and colored using Pineapple Punch Light and Old Olive Light Stampin’ Blends. They are then popped onto the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Three pearls from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls set are scattered over the card front.  The greeting is stamped in Bermuda Bay on a scrap of Whisper White and matted with a scrap of Lemon Lime Twist card stock.
