Happy Spring Birthday with Lovely Lattice

March 29, 2019 admin

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.

Climbing Roses

March 25, 2019 admin

I loved making this card. I think it is so pretty. It is made using the Climbing Roses stamp set.

The inspiration for making it and the challenge for this card is the TGIF Challenge for the week. Stampin’ Blends are the highlight.

The Soft Sea Foam card base doesn’t show up as the color it is, but the card is still beautiful I think. A Highland Heather mat is added next. It is a good mix for the Soft Sea Foam and Whisper White card stock. The Whisper White card stock has been embossed using the Pinewood Planks Dynamic Textured Impression Embossing Folder (DTIEF)

A lattice is cut from a panel of Balmy Blue card stock using the lattice die from the Rose Trellis Thinlits Dies that is part of the Climbing Roses bundle. The Fine Tip Glue Pen was used to put the glue on such an intricate piece, it was then adhered to the Whisper White Pinewood Planks embossed panel.Tuxedo Memento Black Ink is used to stamp the Climbing Rose image on a square of Whisper White Thick card stock. The roses are colored using the Light Highland Heather and Light Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Pens. The Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter Pen was used to create the shading on the roses.

The greeting from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set is stamped in Highland Heather ink on a Whisper White circle that has been matted on a Soft Sea Foam circle cut from one of the Layering Circle Dies. Leaves have also been cut from Soft Sea Foam card stock. The leaves are adhered to the back of the circle using Glue Dots. A single rose is popped on the Whisper White circle using a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional. The Balmy Blue Ribbon is a Sale-A-Bration item and I did not include it in the list of items used as it is no longer available.

The inside sentiment is from the Picture Perfect Birthdays stamp set and is stamped in Highland Heather ink on a panel of Whisper White that has been matted on a Highland Heather card stock panel. Another stamp from the Climbing Roses stamp set is used to decorate the sentiment page. The flowers are stamped using Tuxedo Memento Black Ink and then colored using the same Stampin’ Blends Pens as the other roses.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you like my card. Have a blessed day.

My card is a CAS of Debbie Mageed’s card. Her card is absolutely beautiful but I can’t find the link to post so you can see it!

Dragonfly Dreams

March 23, 2019 admin

Here it is a cold weekend and I thought Spring had sprung, but guess there must be more days of cold. Have a great weekend anyway! I really used a lot of stamp sets on the creation of this card. Hello Cupcake, Beautiful Bouquet, Itty Bitty Greetings stamp sets and the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies.

These are my challenges for the week:

As You See It Challenge #196

Tuesday Morning Sketches

I am excited that my card qualifies for three challenges that rarely happens.

And… Seize the Birthday

The card starts with a Whisper White card base and a mat of Basic Black card stock for all the different strip of 6″ x 6″ DSP. You can see the different stacks at the bottom of this post.

The strips are adhered to the Basic Black mat using Liquid Glue, leaving a small border between each strip so you have the effect of a mat around each strip. Once all the strips are adhered, the Basic Black mat is adhered to the Whisper White card base using Liquid Glue.

The dragonflies from the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies are cut from Basic Black card stock that has an Adhesive Multipurpose Sheet adhered to it for easier adhering. Four sets were cut twice and adhered together. Since there are only five I had to cut twice to have enough for the entire card front. By adhering the four set together it gives them dimension and depth. By using an Adhesive Multipurpose Sheet it makes it easier to adhere the dragonflies together. It is much less messy also as using Liquid Glue you get real gluey fingers.

Different jewels were adhered to each dragonfly to give them a bit of Bling! The Happy Birthday is stamped in Soft Suede on a small scrap and then cropped to a small size to fit the space it is adhered. The card front is finished.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Shaded Spruce on a panel of Whisper White that has been matted on a panel of Basic Black card stock. Two dragonflies are stamped to give the panel a bit of decoration.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you like my card. Visit again soon. Have a blessed day!

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop “Celebrate Spring”

March 12, 2019 admin

Welcome everyone—it’s that time — the second Tuesday of the month—that means it is time for our Inkin’ Krew monthly blog hop. It is going to be exciting to see what all the other team members have created. I know you are going to see lots of ideas and inspiration for your own creations. Our theme for March is “Celebrate Spring”! Now on to the hop! Enjoy!!

My card is created with the You’re Inspiring Stamp Set. Since our theme is “Celebrate Spring” this stamp set is so appropriate being it has daffodils.

The design comes from Inspire Create Challenge #038 for this week.

The card base is Lemon Lime Twist card stock. Lemon Lime Twist will probably be retired this year so I am trying to use it up before that time. A panel of Bermuda Bay card stock has been embossed with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder and adhered to the card base with Liquid Glue.

The inspirations and design comes from Inspire Create Challenge

Two mats have been cut for the focal panel which is cut from a panel of the Botanical Butterfly DSP, one is Lemon Lime Twist, the other Basic Black card stock. They are all adhered together using Liquid Glue.

A Whisper White circle is cut using a Layering Circle Die and adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The daffodils are stamped on thick Whisper White card stock and colored using Pineapple Punch Light and Old Olive Light Stampin’ Blends. They are then popped onto the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Three pearls from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls set are scattered over the card front. The greeting is stamped in Bermuda Bay on a scrap of Whisper White and matted with a scrap of Lemon Lime Twist card stock.

Tea Together

March 8, 2019 admin

I love the looks of this card. It is created using the Tea Together stamp set and the greeting is from the Rooted In Nature stamp set. An easy card, I think, for a beginner, but advanced enough that the most seasoned card maker will like.

My sketch design and inspiration comes from the Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge 189 for the week.

Cut your Basic Black card base, along with the Whisper White mat for the front and for the inside sentiment. Then cut the black/white panel that is from the Botanical Butterfly DSP. This DSP is free with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration, which ends on March 31. I find it easier if you do all your cutting at once instead of just cutting a piece as you need it.

Adhere the Whisper White panel which has been embossed using the Subtle Textured Impression Embossing Folder (TIEF) to the card base after you have popped the black/white panel from the Botanical Butterfly on it.

Stamp 4 roses from the Tea Together stamp set on thick Whisper White card stock using Versa Mark Ink. One of the roses is for the inside sentiment panel. Sprinkle White Embossing Powder over the Versa Mark Ink and using your heat tool, heat emboss. I like heat embossing when coloring because it prevents the colors from running. Cut the roses out using the Tea Time Framelits Dies (the easy way), I fussy cut because I picked up the wrong stamp set with roses and dies and thought oh, there is not a die for this rose, after fussy cutting, I realized my mistake.

Color the roses using Garden Green and Real Red Stampin’ Write Markers. The roses are popped across the bottom of the black/white checked panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp the greeting in Real Red ink on a scrap of paper. I traced the shape of the stamp for the greeting and fussy cut it also. The greeting was popped in the center of the black/white checked panel using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using Tuxedo Memento Black Ink stamp the sentiment from the stamp set Strong and Beautiful on a panel of Whisper White card stock. Pop the rose in the lower right corner using a Mini Stampin Dimensional. Adhere the sentiment panel to the card base using Liquid Glue. The card is finished.

That is it for today! Hope you like the card!! Have a blessed day.
