Dandelion Wishes Loves Botanical Butterfly

December 29, 2018 admin Comments 4 comments

My card today is a sympathy card and the stamp set is Dandelion Wishes. Even after a loved one is gone, the love they leave behind blows around us like the wind blowing the dandelions no matter the length of time.

My inspiration for the card sketch layout is from CAS(E) This Sketch.

This card is really easy to make but it may look otherwise with all the steps listed. Here are the steps for creating this card:

Whisper White card stock – card base- 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″
Basic Black card stock – mat for Lemon Lime Green Botanical Butterfly DSP – 4-1/8″ x 5-1/8″
Adhere mat to card base with Liquid Glue.
Lemon Lime Green Botanical Butterfly DSP – 4″ x 5″.
Adhere to Basic Black mat using Liquid Glue.
Basic Black card stock – Cut two panels 1-5/8″ x 4″. Mats for butterfly panels.
Botanical Butterfly DSP – Cut two panels 1-1 2” x 3-7/8″. Adhere to Basic Black mat using Liquid Glue.
Adhere these 2 panels to the Lemon Lime Green card front.
Basic Black panel – mat for greeting – cut 1″ x 3-1/8″.
Whisper White panel – greeting panel – cut 7/8″ x 3″
Using Memento Black Ink stamp on a Whisper White panel with stamp from Better Together stamp set. Also, stamp the dandelions blowing from the Dandelion Wishes stamp set.
Adhere this greeting panel to the Basic Black mat panel using Liquid Glue.
Pop the greeting panel over the two butterfly panels on the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Adhere a green heart to the left lower corner of the card front.
Basic Black card stock – cut a panel 4″ x 5-1/4″ mat for sentiment panel.
Whisper White card stock – cut a panel 3-3/4″ x 5″.
Using Memento Black Ink stamp the sentiment using a stamp from the August 2018 Paper Pumpkin stamp set.
Using Lemon Lime ink stamp the dandelions from the Dandelion Wishes stamp set on the sentiment panel.
Adhere the sentiment panel to the Basic Black card stock panel using Liquid Glue.

Incredible Like You

December 22, 2018 admin Comments 4 comments

Welcome!

Three days until Christmas! Are you all ready! This person hasn’t bought the first gift! Haven’t had the time. Is that a good excuse? Enough of that on to the card for today. I am using Incredible Like You (available January 3, which isn’t too long), Butterfly Gala (also available January 3) and Bunches of Blossoms from the Annual catalog.

I am playing along at Watercooler Wednesday “Anything Goes“.

The card is started with a Pear Pizzazz card base, then a Whisper White mat that has been embossed using the Pinewood Plank embossing folder, then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. A panel of Basic Black card stock is cut for the mat to the art piece. The art piece is stamped using Lovely Lipstick and Pear Pizzazz ink. The flowers are a two step process and from the stamp set Incredible Like You (available January 3), This technique is something I have never tried before. It took me practice and three tries before I finally was able to think this piece was acceptable. As always practice makes perfect, so I must try it again to see the results. You stamp the darkest color first or that is the way I did it and then you stamp the lightest color, stamping off once to make the color lighter. The color is Lovely Lipstick, but to me it looks more like Cherry Cobbler. The art piece is now adhered to the Basic Black mat using Liquid Glue and a length of Pear Pizzazz 3/8″ ribbon is wrapped around the art piece. This is now adhered to the embossed panel using Liquid Glue. The greeting is stamped in Lovely Lipstick on a scrap of Whisper White, then cropped using the Layering Oval Framelits Dies. It is popped over the ribbon in the lower right corner of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A tiny butterfly is cut using one of the butterflies from the Butterfly Gala stamp set (available January 3). A pearl from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearl pack is glued to the butterfly. A Glue Dot is used to adhere to the card front. Three pearls from the same pack are adhered to the upper right corner.

The inside sentiment is a big Happy Birthday stamped in Lovely Lipstick on a panel of Whisper White.

You can find the products used in creating this card along with the card cuts at the end of this post. Thank you for stopping by, my wish as usual is for you to find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.

Lovely Lattice

December 21, 2018 admin Comments 4 comments

This is, if I do say so myself, a beautiful card for today. The stamp set is from the Sale-A-Brations catalog (available January 3, 2019 for ordering) This is just a sneak peek of what is to come. I am going to love using this stamp set to make future cards, it is so pretty.

The sketch I am using is from Freshly Made Sketches. It is a nice sketch layout.

The card base is Balmy Blue card stock, cut 4-1/4″ x 11″ and scored at 5-1/2″. A Whisper White panel of card stock is cut 4″ x 5-1/4″ and embossed using the Subtle TIEF. This mat is adhered to the Balmy Blue base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The greeting on the front is a stamp from the Soft Sayings Card Kit. You get everything needed to make 20 cards, you just supply the adhesive. The three pearls are from the Pearl Basic Jewel collection.

A panel measuring 4-1/8″ x 2-1/8″ is cut from Whisper White card stock and embossed using the Quilt Top TIEF. This is adhered to the card base mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, then a 3-1/2″ x 2-1/8″ strip is cut from a 6″x 6″ panel of the Gingham Gala DSP (available January 3, 2019 from the Occasions catalog). This is glued at an angled over the Quilt Top embossed piece. The art piece is from the stamp set Lovely Lattice (available January 3, 2019, free from the Sale-A-Bration catalog with a $50 order from the Occasions catalog, the Annual catalog or the Clearance Rack or a combination of all three). It is stamped on a panel of Whisper White and colored using Balmy Blue Light, Daffodil Delight Light, and Call Me Clover Light Stampin’ Blends Pens.

The inside sentiment is from the stamp set Ribbon of Courage and stamped in Balmy Blue ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock, then matted to a panel cut from a piece of the 6″ x 6″ Gingham Gala DSP. The single flower in the upper and lower corner is colored with Balmy Blue, Shaded Spruce and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Write Markers.

Stampin’ Up! Winter Woods

December 8, 2018 admin Comments 4 comments

Happy Saturday! Do you have fun Christmas shopping planned or just a relaxing week-end? Whatever you have planned, stay dry. The weather outside is terrible. Almost to bad to venture out in it.

I am using the Winter Woods stamp bundle and the Nature Sings stamp set for my card today.

The theme for my card is from Global Design Projec #GDp167 ‘Tis The Season. It is truly the best time of the year for me anyway, I love celebrating Christmas.

There is very little instructions for this card as it is so easy. The base is Shaded Spruce cut 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″. The next layer is Whisper White card stock that has been cut 4″ x 5-1/4″. This panel first has a tree cut from it using the Winter Woods bundle. It is then embossed using the Softly Falling TIEF. The negative space from the cut has a green panel of All is Bright glued behind it to make the green tree. The Whisper White tree is popped on the Whisper White panel with Stampin Dimensionals.

The greeting from the Nature Sings stamp set is stamped in Shaded Spruce ink on a scrap of Whisper White and cut out with Paper Snips, highlighted with Shaded Spruce ink and popped on the Whisper White panel using Mini Stampin Dimensionals.

The inside sentiment is stamped on a panel of Whisper White using Shaded Spruce ink. It, also, is from the Nature Sings stamp set. A tree has been cut from the Whisper White panel to reveal the green to give the appearance of a tree.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you like my simple easy card and will give it a try. Any questions, give me an email. As always my wish is that you find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.

Petal Promenade DSP and Vertical Greetings

December 2, 2018 admin Comments 8 comments

This is an easy card, great for a beginner or anyone that wants a fast and easy card. The card is created using the Petal Promenade DSP and the Vertical Greeting stamp set.My sketch inspiration comes from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge for this week

The card base is Mossy Meadow and the mat is Blushing Bride embossed with the Subtle TIEF. The Mossy Meadow mats for the Petal Promenade DSP art panels are cut 2-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ The DSP is cut 2-1/8″ 4-1/8″. These are adhered to the Mossy Meadow panel using Multipurpose Glue.

The DSP for the “Thank You” greeting was fussy cut from a panel of the Petal Promenade DSP. The panel had to be cut into two pieces to get it to fit he 2-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ Mossy Meadow panel. The Vertical Greeting “Thank You” was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink. Several sequins from the Sequin Assortment has been scattered around the panel

Since this is a thank you card there is no inside sentiment, only a blank panel of Whisper White to write your thank you note on. A panel of Blushing Bride has been used to mat the Whisper White note,

Thank you for stopping by today, my wish as always is that you find encouragement and inspiration.

23 days until Christmas!
