2019 Sale-A-Bration – Stampin with Shirley G

Humming Along with Detailed with Love

April 11, 2019 admin Comments 8 comments

My card is simple, easy and takes a short time to create.

I am playing along with two challenges today. Inspire Create Challenge#040 And …

It is a Whisper White card base with three panels of three different DSP that was from the just gone by Sale-A-Bration. As you can see if you go to each card challenge there are many papers that can be used to create the design and many stamp designs to use to create the black and white challenge. I love black and white and could create more cards but I believe one entry is the limit for the challenge.

The Tailored Tag Punch is used to create the label for the greeting. The Whisper White one is trimmed to allow the Basic Black card stock to show around. Three black and white butterflies are cut from a scrap of the Botanical Butterfly DSP that is a just gone by Sale-A-Bration item. Three sequins from the Basic Adhesive Backed Sequins are colored with the Dark Black Stampin’ Blends Pen and scattered around the label.

The inside sentiment from the Humming Along stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a panel of Whisper White. A butterfly from the Beauty Abound stamp set is stamped several times on the sentiment panel without re-inking the stamp.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you love my card. Have a blessed day.

Happy Spring Birthday with Lovely Lattice

March 29, 2019 admin Comments 8 comments

My card today is created using the Lovely Lattice stamp set. Since it is a Sale-A-Bration item it will only be available for two more days or you can say three counting today. I think this is such a beautiful card. It is CAS(E)d from Tami Hewlett. Mine is pretty but hers is just so beautiful, I wanted to make one. Click on her name and it will take you there. She also has some great tips on this post.

My inspiration comes from the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge for this week and the Sketch Saturday Challenge.

My card starts with a Coastal Cabana card stock base, then a Coastal Cabana mat that has been cut with the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies. As my friend, Karen always says, why give instructions when you can get them better from the original source. Tami gives great instructions on how to do the next layer which is embossed with the Crackle stamp and then watercolored.

The Lovely Lattice image is stamped on Glossy card stock using Crumb Cake in and then Versa Mark ink and heat embossing using Clear Embossing Powder. The image is colored using Stampin’ Blends Pens in Flirty Flamingo, Mango Melody, Call Me Clover and the Color Lifter. After all the coloring is finished, the image is fussy cut and popped onto the Crackled mat using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting is stamped on a scrap of Whisper White card stock in Coastal Cabana ink and then trimmed out to have one end as a banner. This is popped onto the Whisper White and Coastal Cabana ribbons that have been applied with Glue Dots. A bow is made using the Whisper White Twine. The bow is popped on using a Glue Dot and an embellishment from the Share What You Love Embellishment Kit is popped in the middle of the bow. Several pearls from the Share What You Love Pearls is scattered over the card front.

The inside sentiment from the Detailed With Love stamp set is stamped in Coastal Cabana ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock and adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you like my card.

A Little Hello with Lovely Lattice

March 6, 2019 admin Comments 10 comments

My card today is created using a Sale-A-Bration stamp set called Lovely Lattice. It is a beautiful stamp and can be yours for free with a $50 purchase.

My sketch design comes from the Tuesday Morning Sketches.

Start with a card base Whisper White card stock.

The next card stock cut is a panel of Basic Black for the mat of the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (DSP)
Cut a panel of the Botanical Butterfly DSP and adhere to the Basic Black mat.
Adhere the Basic Black mat to the Whisper White card base.
Cut a panel of Basic Black, Whisper White, and Blueberry Bushel card stock.
Adhere the Whisper White panel to the Basic Black panel using Liquid Multipurpose Glue.
Wrap a strip of Pick A Pattern Washi Tape down the left side of the Blueberry Bushel panel, then adhere the panel to the Whisper White panel.
Before you adhere the Blueberry Bushel panel to the Whisper White panel emboss it using the Subtle TIEF.
Once all three of the panels have been adhered together pop it over the Botanical Butterfly panel using Mini Stampin Dimensionals. Cut the Stamipn’ Dimensionals in half so that it only needs a little dimension off of the other panel.
Using the Lovely Lattice stamp set, stamp the image on a panel of Basic Black card stock using Versa Mark ink.
Embossing the image using White Embossing Powder and your heat tool. Embossing the white on black gives for a beautiful image without color, but I chose to color the flowers.
Color the flowers using Stampin’ Blends Markers in Balmy Blue, Pineapple Punch, Calypso Coral, Old Olive, and Lovely Lipstick. Coloring on the black sure gives each color a different color.
Pop the flowers on the Blueberry Bushel panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The flowers appear to be stamped on the Blueberry Bushel panel instead of being stamped on Basic Black and then colored.
Stamp on a scrap of paper the greeting from the Itty Bitty Greeting stamp set. Trim and add a bit of Washi Tape. Pop on the Blueberry Bushel panel.
Add three Basic Jewel Pearls in various spots on the card and the card front is finished.
The inside sentiment panel is left blank for a note. A strip of Pick A Pattern Washi Tape is adhered down the left side so it won’t look so plain.

That’s the card for today. I hope you like it. Visit again soon. Have a blessed day!

By The Bay

March 3, 2019 admin Comments 7 comments

My card today is created using the By The Bay stamp set. This set is free during Sale-A-Bration with a $50 purchase. The birds are from the High Tide stamp set. It is a 2-1/3 layer card. The base is Basic Black card stock. The focal panel is stamped on Whisper White thick card stock so the coloring will be absorbed better and not make the paper rough up. It is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on the full panel. The Stamparatus is great for being able to stamp this. After you have stamped the full panel, place the 1-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ panel in the center of the full panel and stamp again. This will be the panel you will color and mat with a Basic Black mat.

My inspiration comes from the Color Throwdown Challenge for this week.

The center panel is colored using Calypso Coral, Highland Heather, Garden Green, and Crumb Cake inks. The roofs of the buildings are colored using a Calypso Coral Stampin Write Marker. The dark image beside the house is colored with Highland Heather and is made dark for the ocean.The sky is Calypso Coral and Highland Heather sponged onto the card stock. Amazing how different the color can be using different techniques to apply. The birds are stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink using the stamp from High Tide stamp set. The bushes are colored using Garden Green ink that is mixed with water using an Aqua Painter. The walkway and a bit of the wall is colored using Crumb Cake in with an Aqua Painter. The two side panels are left uncolored with the exception of the roofs of the two small buildings. The greeting is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink at the bottom of the center panel. After the coloring is finished, the panel is matted using a panel of Basic Black card stock. It is then adhered over the full focal panel using Liquid Glue. The inside sentiment is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a panel of Whisper White. The sentiment is from the Well Said stamp set. The birds are stamped in Crumb Cake ink.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you like my card. I hope you are having a blessed day!

Painted Seasons with Botanical Butterfly

February 23, 2019 admin Comments 12 comments

My card is created using the Painted Seasons Bundle. The Designer Series Paper is so pretty. This panel that I have used for this card is so cool and clean looking. It makes me think of a hot afternoon sitting in the cool parlor of an old house long ago. I remember it had a big ceiling fan that swirled around slowly but the coolness was divine on a hot summer day. The Happy Day greeting is from the Itty Bitty Greeting stamp set. I just can’t get away from that Itty Bitty, can I? Be it Itty Bitty Greetings or Itty Bitty Birthday!

My sketch design comes from Try Stamping On Tuesday.

My card base is Lemon Lime Twist with a Pool Party mat for the Painted Seasons DSP. The two different designs of the DSP make a good contrast. A Coastal Cabana- Granny Apple Green Reversible Ribbon is wrapped around the focal panel and tied in a bow. Three butterflies cut from a panel of Botanical Butterfly DSP are scattered on the focal panel and adhered with Glue Dots. The focal panel is adhered to the Pool Party mat then the panels are adhered to the card base.

The inside Whisper White sentiment panel is stamped in Call Me Clover ink using a stamp from the Cake Soriee stamp set. A flower is also stamped in Call Me Clover on the panel. The panel is matted on a panel of Pool Party card stock and adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue. It amazes me how the flower look once it has been added to the blog post it looks nothing like that in real time. I took several pictures and each one turned out with that effect.

Thanks for stopping by today. May you find encouragement and inspiration just a bit from my card. Have a blessed day.
