Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles Thinking of You

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles stamp set for the flowers, Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments stamp set for the greeting, and Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Delight for the flourish of dots.

The challenge is the Sunday Stamps Challenge. I chose Real Read, Soft Succulent, and Blackberry Bliss as my colors.

The card base is Blackberry Bliss card stock with the art piece being Basic White card stock. I used Real Red ink to stamp the flowers, Soft Succulent for the leaves, and Blackberry Bliss for the flourish of dots and the greeting. A length of Faux Linen ribbon is wrapped around the art piece and tied in a know.

The inside panel is Basic White card stock with a flower matching the ones on the card front stamped in the corner.

A Basic White medium envelope gets flowers matching the card front and the inside panel stamped on the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you took the time to linger and look at my other blog post and cards and that 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. Feel free to CAS(E) any card. Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me. Have a blessed day!

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Thinking of You Card

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Meadow Dies. I also used the Tasteful Textile 3-D Embossing Folder.

TGIF Challenge is my inspiration for the design of my card today.

The card base is Basic White card stock with a panel of the Patterned Party DSP as the background panel.

A panel of Basic Black card stock is embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3-D Embossing Folder along with the background panel.

Using the dies from the Meadow Dies and Basic White card stock flowers are cropped and popped over the Basic Black panel. A greeting is fussy cut from a stash I have but originally was stamped using the Positive Thoughts Stamp Set. Rhinestone Basic Jewels are scattered around the card front. A tiny bow is made using Black & White 1/4″ ribbon. I used a Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend to color the white, red.

The inside gets flowers from the Quiet Meadow Stamp Set stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink.

A medium white envelope gets a panel of the Pattern Party DSP applied to the envelope flap.

If you would like to create this card all the products used and the card cuts are at the end of this post.

Stampin’ Up! Prized Peony

Happy Sunday everyone. I hope you have a great Sunday. It is a good day to stay in and make cards with the weather so yukky!

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Prized Peony Stamp Set, along with Touched My Heart and Peaceful Moments Stamp Sets for the greeting and sentiment.

My inspiration for today’s challenge comes from the Cut It Up Challenge – Use A Die Cut.

And…

Seize The Birthday Anything Goes

This was an easy card to create. Start with a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock base. Emboss a Whisper White panel using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle 3D Embossing Folder, it will be added to the card base once all the card front elements are added.

The peonies are stamped on a panel of Whisper White card stock and colored using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blends in Flirty Flamingo, Mango Melody, and Shaded Spruce.

A length of Flirty Flamingo ribbon is wrapped around the embossed panel. I do not know the name of the ribbon. The Stampin’ Up! Stitched So Sweetly Die cut is popped over the ribbon and the peonies are popped on alternating corners of the panel. Three Stampin’ Up! Rhinestone Basic Jewels are scattered over the card front.

The sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a Whisper White panel. Small peonies have been stamped, colored with the same blends as the card front, cropped, and placed around the sentiment panel. Lastly, this panel is adhered to the inside of the card base and your card 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! First Frost

May 3, 2020 admin

Happy Sunny Sunday! Hope your day is fabulous!

Stampin’ Up! First Frost Stamp Set is being retired, so I decided to use it one more time before it is gone.

Inspiration for this card comes from the CAS ON FRIDAY — use your favorite flower

And…

The Inkspirational Photo Challenge — take inspiration from the photo.

The card base is a Paper Pumpkin left over. Any card stock could be used but since this one was extra, I thought why not use it. I don’t even remember which Paper Pumpkin it is left from, it was just in the leftover stash.

From Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock a panel was cropped using a die from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched So Sweetly Dies. The rose from the Stampin’ Up! First Frost Stamp Set is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Flirty Flamingo ink on the Whisper White panel then fussy cut. The leaves again are leftovers that were cropped making other cards. A length of Stampin’ Up! Linen Thread is wrapped around the Whisper White panel and tied in a bow. Stampin’ Up! Faceted Gems are scattered around the card front.

The greeting is from the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Gala Stamp Set and is stamped in Flirty Flamingo in on a leftover label from a Paper Pumpkin, you could stamp on a plain Whisper White scrap and then cut to size. The inside is left blank except for the rose stamped in the lower right corner as you can see in the photo.

All the card cuts are at the end of this post.
