Stampin with Shirley G

 

 

Happy Thursday!  One more day and the weekend will be here. Yeah for the weekend.  Do you have fun plans for the weekend or are you like so many others that try to catch up on the weekend what they didn’t get done through the week, especially when you work outside the home.

My color scheme is my own, could not find a Challenge that used pink and gray.  If you know one for this week let me know.  I shall enter.

I semi used the layout from Stamp, Ink, Paper this week’s challenge.  I used lace, flowers, ribbon, watercolor.  I consider the mat cut from the Sweet Soiree Specialty DSP (Designer Series Paper) to be embossing as it has a texture when you rub your fingers over it.

 

I used Blushing Bride cardstock as my base. Cut at 4-1/4 x 11.  Scored at 5-1/2.

I used Sweet Soiree Specialty DSP for my mat. Cut 4 x 5-1/4.  I adhered it to the card base using Tombow Liquid Glue.

The Smoky Slate mat for the art piece is cut 3-3/4 x 4.

The art piece is Whisper White cardstock cut 3-1/2 x 3-3/4.

I stamped the art piece in Pear Pizzazz  and Melon Mambo using the Thoughts and Prayer stamp set.

I tied adhered a piece of Whisper White ribbon around the art piece and mat securing on the back with Fast Fuse. I tied a bow from the Whisper White ribbon and adhered it to the ribbon with a glue dot.

The sentiment on the front and inside is one I typed and printed as I could not find a sentiment appropriate for my card.

The inside sentiment art piece is stamped on a piece of Whisper White cardstock.  Cut 3-3/4 x 5. I matted this on a piece of Smokey Slate cardstock cut at 4 x 5-1/4.  I adhered it to the card base using Tombow Liquid Glue.

I used the stamp set  Friendship’s Sweetest Thoughts, from the 2018 Occasion catalog; Beautiful Peacock from the Sale-A-Bration catalog and Butterfly Basics from the 2017-2018 Annual Catalog on the inside sentiment.  If you would like a copy of any of these catalogs, contact me.  My bling is Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

A friend had called wanting a sympathy card so this is the finished product.  Here are two others I made also.

I just love using red and black together. Red and black makes me feel good and energized.  It has always been my favorite colors or maybe it is my favorite colors because I have always lived in Georgia and grew up playing on the UGA campus.  So I guess I am a Dawg fan!

Here is the card recipe:

Card Base:   Cut a piece of Real Red cardstock 8-1/2 x5-1/2 Scored at 4-1/4        

Mat: Cut a piece of Basic Black cardstock 4 x 5 ¼

The stamped art piece:  Whisper white  cut 3-3/4  x 5

• Adhere your Basic Black mat to the Real Red card front
• The art piece was stamped in Black Memento Ink using the stamp set Party Panda from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. Give a few minutes to make sure it has dried thoroughly.
• Die cut your 2 Real Red hearts to use for the balloons and 1 Basic Black heart for your sentiment using the hearts from Sure Do Love You stamp set in the Occasions Catalog. The small hearts used for the flowers was punched using a small heart punch.
• The flower border at the bottom of the stamped art piece is a piece cut from one of the cards in the Sale-A-Bration Sweet Soiree & More Card Pack. I adhered it to the stamped art piece using Tombow Liquid Glue
• The Sentiment is written in white ink on the Basic Black heart.
• The 2 Real Red hearts and the Basic Black heart are adhered to the stamped art piece using dimensionals.
• Using Real Red and Old Olive Stampin Write Marker and my Blender Pen I darkened some of the flowers.
• Adhere your stamped art piece to the card front with dimensionals

Your card is finished.  You may want to add a little bling to some of the flowers at the bottom.  I chose not to do so.

 

Inside Sentiment 

I die cut a heart out of Basic Black and used Tombow Liquid Glue to glue on the corner of the envelope
