Valentine – Page 3 – Stampin with Shirley G

Stampin’ Up! Meant To Be Snail Mail

Good Day everyone! Hope your day is going supercharged.

I received my paper shares yesterday. A lifesaver they are so to speak. I had also seen Jaimie Babarczy’s card and thought “Oh that would make a cute valentine for my great-granddaughter” — but I don’t have it– then Mary’s paper shares arrived and the rest is history as you will see. I even had to order the bundle for future use. Now on to the card.

My challenge for the day is from the Shopping Our Stash Challenge.

I started with a Bermuda Bay card stock base, layering two different panels of the Snail Mail DSP over it using Multipurpose Liquid Glue after all the elements were added to the panels. A length of Double Stitched Red Ribbon is wrapped around the middle covering the joining spot of the two panels. Over the red ribbon, another length of ribbon with white dashes is wrapped, both ribbons are adhered with Glue Dots.

I cropped two circles using the Stitched Shapes Dies and the Layering Circle Dies, one from Basic White card stock that is embossed using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder and another from the Snail Mail DSP. A Bermuda Bay card stock heart is cropped using one of the heart dies from the Stitched Be Mine Dies. This heart is layered over the red Snail Mail DSP circle.

Two of the snails are fussy cut from a panel of the Snail Mail DSP and popped over the Bermuda Bay heart using Stampin’ Dimensionals. One of the tiny envelopes with a heart is also fussy cut and popped between the two snails. Using the die with the many hearts from the Stitched Be Mine Dies I cropped some Real Red hearts to pop on the corner of the top panel. Three of the Resin Hearts from the Snail Mail Suite Collection are randomly placed around the card front. A greeting from the Meant To Be Stamp Set is stamped in Real Red ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock and cropped with one of the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

The sentiment panel has a sentiment from the Meant To Be Stamp Set stamped in Real Red ink on the Basic White card stock panel. Hearts from the Meant To Be Stamp Set are stamped in the corners using Bermuda Bay ink.

The envelope flap gets a panel of the Snail Mail DSP and your card project is finished.

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

February 9, 2020 admin

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.

Stampin’ Up! Honey Bee

February 7, 2020 admin

Happy Friday! So happy you stopped by and I hope you have an enjoyable weekend!

Have you ever? Just be unable to come up with a card idea–that’s me today! The card I created is created using Stampin’ Up! Golden Honey Designer Series Paper (DSP), Stampin’ Up! Verdant Garden Stamp Set, and Stampin’ Up! Forever Lovely Stamp Set.

My inspiration design comes from the sketch by Debbie Foster of Tuesday Morning Sketches. I hope you like my honeycomb banner. It is a bit unusual!

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Whisper White with a Stampin’ Up! Basic Black mat. The Stampin’ Up! Golden Honey DSP focal panel is matted using Whisper White card stock.

The banner is a strip of the honeycomb DSP from the Golden Honey DSP and matted on Basic Black and Real Red card stock. A bee fussy cut from the DSP is popped on the honeycomb along with two tiny hearts of Real Red. The hearts used on this card is the inside of this or the negative part of the piece.

The heart framing the greeting from Stampin’ Up! Verdant Garden is from Stampin’ Up! Stitched Be Mine Dies. The “Love” is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Real Red ink on the Whisper White card stock matted in Stampin’ Up! Real Red card stock. Two bees fussy cut from the Stampin’ Up! Golden Honey DSP are popped on the heart frame. A tiny heart is used for the letter O in “Love”. Several of the hearts are popped around the card front making them appear like flowers. Stampin’ Up! Basic Rhinestone Jewels are colored using a Stampin’ Up! Dark Real Red Stampin’ Blends Marker and scattered around the card front.

The inside sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Forever Lovely Stamp Set and is stamped in Real Red ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock that is matted on a panel of Basic Black card stock. A large bee from the Golden Honey DSP is fussy cut and popped in the corner with a tiny heart.

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

Stampin’ Up! Best Dressed

February 6, 2020 admin

Happy rainy Thursday! The rain is so heavy, I believe I even saw a few cats and dogs falling from the sky!🙂 A good day to just stay in and make cards!

My pretty feminine card today is created using Stampin’ Up! Best Dressed Designer Series Paper (DSP), Forever Blossoms Stamp Set, and Beautiful Moments Stamp Set. This DSP is so pretty it alone can make a beautiful card without any additions, I snipped a few blossoms to add around my greeting label.

Challenges for the day are Watercooler Wednesday – Heidi’s Challenge: Anything Goes With a Feminine Twist

And…

Through The Craft Room Door — Anything Goes

And…

Just Us Girls — Word Week — Bow

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock with a Stampin’ Up! Highland Heather card stock mat for the Stampin’ Up! Best Dressed DSP focal panel.

A panel of the Best Dressed DSP is matted on Highland Heather and popped across the front of the main focal panel. Blossoms are fussy cut from the DSP and popped over the Stampin’ Up! Stitched So Sweetly Dies. The greeting on the label is from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Moments Stamp Set and is stamped in Highland Heather ink. A single rhinestone from Stampin’ Up! Nobel Rhinestones is placed by the greeting. The hearts in the corner of the label are cropped from a die in the Stampin’ Up! Stiched Be Mine Dies.

The bow is created using Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon. It is popped on the corner of the label using Stampin’ Up! Glue Dots.

The sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms Stamp Set and is stamped in Highland Heather ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock. Blossoms, from the Stampin’ Up! Best Dressed DSP, are adhered across the top and down the side.

In finishing, the Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope gets a panel of the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper.

Stampin’ Up! Bee Mine

February 5, 2020 admin

Good Day, all! Hope you have a fantastic one!

The card I am featuring today is created using Stampin’ Up! Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! January 2020 Paper Pumpkin, I’ll Bee Yours and Stampin’ Up! Forever Lovely Stamp Set.

The challenge for today is a new one for me and I love the logo —613 Avenue Create — Banners and Bows

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Basic Black card stock with a Stampin’ Up! Real Red card stock as the mat for the background panel from the Stampin’ Up! Golden Honey Specialty Series Paper. The Golden Honey DSP banners are also matted in Real Red card stock. A red ribbon is wrapped around the background panel and the largest banner. A bow is made and popped on the ribbon.

Three small hearts are placed around the front of the card with a larger heart from the Stitched Be Mine Dies used as the label for the greeting from the January Paper Pumpkin — I’ll Bee Yours!

The sentiment panel is an image of the card front with a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Forever Lovely Stamp Set stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on the banner of Whisper White matted on a banner of Real Red card stock. Two small red hearts are the negative cut from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Be Mine Dies. The larger heart at the lower corner is also from the Stitched Be Mine Dies.

In finishing, the Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope gets a panel of the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper.
