Valentine – Stampin with Shirley G

Stampin’ Up! Cottage Bouquet — Just Want To Say…

February 7, 2023 custom

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Cottage Bouquet stamp set. I also used the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder.

My inspiration for the design of this card comes from the Try Stampin’ On Tuesday Challenge.

I started with a Basic White card stock card base, embossing a panel of the same using the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder. I also embossed a panel of Starry Sky card stock using the same embossing folder. The three hearts are punched from Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper using the Country Bouquet Punch. They are embossed using Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.

A panel of Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper is cut and adhered over the Quatrefoil Tile Embossed piece using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The Starry Sky panel is adhered over the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper panel. The hearts are arranged on the card front to resemble kits. I drew a half circle using one of the Stylish Shapes Dies, then cut strips to create the kit strings. I cropped the three bows from using a die from Playing In The Rain Dies.

Iridescent Basic Pearls are scattered around the card front. A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set is stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink on a Basic White scrap and then fussy cut. It is popped on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set is stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink on a Basic White card stock panel, the panel is matted on a Starry Sky card stock piece. The piece is then adhered over the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper panel. A heart is punched from a scrap of Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper using the Country Bouquet Punch. it is popped in the corner of the sentiment panel.

A Basic White medium envelope gets a panel of Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Awesome Otter Card

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Awesome Otter Stamp Set, a freebie during Sale-A-Bration with a qualified order.

My inspiration for the day’s challenge is complements of NBUS (Never-Before-Used-Schtuff). I have not used the Stampin’ Up! Awesome Otter Stamp Set before except for the birthday greeting. Everything else is new to me. I sure hope this does not disqualify me from participating in this challenge.

My card starts with a Basic White card stock base. A panel of Real Red card stock becomes the mat for the background panel which is two different patterns of the Sweet Talk DSP.

Two images from the Stampin’ Up! Awesome Otters Stamp Set is stamped in Soft Suede ink on Basic White card stock, colored using Crumb Cake and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers, fussy cut and one is popped on using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals, the other Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Hearts are fussy cut from Sweet Talk DSP and popped around the Otters. The greetings are stamped in Real Red ink, one greeting is from the Stampin’ Up! Awesome Otters Stamp Set, the other from the Kisses & Hugs Paper Pumpkin.

A sentiment from retired Stampin’ Up! Lots of Heart Stamp Set is stamped in Real Red ink on a panel of Basic White card stock, matted on a panel of Real Red card stock, it is adhered to the card base after the Real Red heart and otter are popped in the corner. I made the otter as he is hugging the heart by stamping a second otter and fussy cutting the arms and adding to the image.

The flap of a medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the Sweet Talk DSP applied to it using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Sending You Love Card

The card shared today is created using elements of the Kisses & Hugs Paper Pumpkin Kit, the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder, and hearts from the Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder

Use Your Stuff Challenge is the inspiration for today’s card. Their theme is Hearts/Love.

Also, Let’s Craft and Create Challenge. Their theme is Anything Goes + From the Heart

The card base is Blushing Bride card stock with a background panel from the Simply Elegant DSP.

A panel of Coastal Cabana card stock is embossed using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder and popped over the background panel. Twine from Baker’s Twine Essential Pack is colored using the Blushing Bride Stamp Pad, it is much easier using a Stampin’ Blend Marker but there is not one for Blushing Bride. Take it just a bit longer to dry or you will have ink on your hands and card. This is then adhered to the card base. Hearts are cropped from the Kisses & Hugs Paper Pumpkin hearts and one from Real Red card stock. These are popped over the twine. The greeting is also from the Kisses & Hugs Paper Pumpkin.

The sentiment is stamped in Memento Black ink on the Blushing Bride card stock panel that has been cropped using a die from the Penned Flowers Dies. A strip of Coastal Cabana is applied under the scalloped edge. Hearts are fuzzy cut from a panel of the Sweet Talk DSP and adhered to the corner of the panel.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Coastal Cabana card stock that has been embossed using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Fold applied to the flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Catching Butterflies Think of You Card

The card I am sharing today is a cute little card that is created using the Stampin’ Up! Catching Butterflies Stamp Set. This is a free item during Sale-A-Bration with a qualified purchase. I saw a card like this somewhere in my internet travels but can’t find the card again, so do not know the person to thank. If you have seen it, let me know so I can give the person credit for CASing.

The challenge at Festive Friday is the perfect challenge for today’s card. Red, pink, ribbon, hearts, watercolor, and stitching; I didn’t realize I used so many of them.

I started with a card base of Basic White card stock.

A panel of Real Red card stock is cut as the mat for the Sweet Talk DSP panel. They are adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. A band of Real Red is cut and embossed using a folder from the Dotty Hearts Embossing Folders. A scrap of lacy polka dot ribbon is adhered across the band and the band is adhered to the background panel.

The girl image from the Stampin’ Up! Catching Butterflies Stamp Set is stamped in Memento Black ink on a panel of Basic White card stock. The image can then be cropped using a die from the Layering Circle Dies on page 163 of the Annual Catalog. The image is colored using Watercolor Pencils in Flirty Flamingo, Early Espresso, and Basic Grey. The Basic Grey can barely be seen on the butterfly net.

The greeting is stamped in Real Red ink on a small piece of Basic White card stock and cropped using a die from the Ornate Frame Dies. Both die cuts are now popped over the Real Red band using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Red and pink hearts are fussy cut from a scrap of the Sweet Talk DSP and popped around the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A sentiment from the Catching Butterflies Stamp Set is stamped in Real Red ink on a cropped heart from the Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder, this folder includes dies also. The heart is then adhered to the inside panel. The love you sentiment is from the January Paper Pumpkin Kisses & Hugs.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the Sweet Talk DSP applied to the flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Always In My Heart Sending Love Card

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Always In My Heart Stamp Set along with the large die from the Floral Heart Dies and a greeting from January 2022 Paper Pumpkin.

My challenge is the Tic, Tac Toe Challenge. I went down the right side. Any Shape Die Cut (the die-cut Floral Heart); Love Sentiment (the greeting and the inside sentiment) Glitz or Glitter (plenty of Glitz with all the Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels.

I started with a card base of Basic Black card stock.

I then embossed a panel of Flirty Flamingo card stock using the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder. This panel is matted on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock and adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

From a panel of Very Vanilla card stock, I cropped the Floral Heart using the large die from the Floral Heart Dies. It is popped on the embossed panel and a Gray Granite arrow is adhered across the heart. Jewels from the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels are popped on the arrow and around the card front.

A sentiment is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock and little Flirty Flamingo hearts are stamped around the sentiment. The heart in the bottom corner is from the retired Many Hearts Dies.

A panel of the Flirty Flamingo card stock is embossed using the same embossing folder as the card front, it is then adhered to the Very Vanilla envelope flap.
