Coastal Cabana – Stampin with Shirley G

Hello Cupcake

February 28, 2019 admin

My card is created from the Hello Cupcake stamp set (free with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration. I also used the How Sweet It Is Designer Series Paper. The Vellum makes the greeting look blurry in the picture, but in real time it is not so.

My design and inspiration come from the Fusion Card Challenge.

The card base is Coastal Cabana card stock cut at 4-1/4″ x 11″ and scored at 5-1/2″ and folded on the scoreline. It is stamped using Versa Mark and the Hello Cupcake Sweet Wishes stamp. This makes a great background.
A length of Granny Apple Ribbon is wrapped around the card base and secured on the opposite side.
A 3-1/8″ x 3-1/4″ panel of Gorgeous Grape card stock is cut for the background of the focal panel.
The focal panel is from the How Sweet It Is DSP and cut 3″ x 3-1/8″. The mat and focal panel are adhered together using Liquid Glue, then popped onto the Coastal Cabana card base.
A panel of vellum is cut 3″ x 3-1/8″ and adhered over the focal panel with Liquid Glue that is carefully put on each corner and then spread very thin so it would not show. But before the vellum is adhered to the focal panel it is stamped with the greeting in Gorgeous Grape ink.
The two cupcakes are fussy cut from another panel of How Sweet It Is DSP and color is added by using Coastal Cabana, Melon Mambo, and Gorgeous Grape Stampin’ Write Markers.
Sprinkles are added to the cupcake tops by using Adhesive Backed Sequins and Glitter Enamel Dots.
The sentiment is stamped on a 3-3/4″ x 5″ panel of Whisper White card stock in Gorgeous Grape ink using the stamp set Hello Cupcake. A large cupcake is also stamped in Gorgeous Grape and Granny Apple Green ink.
A Gorgeous Grape panel is cut 4″ x 5-1/2″ for the mat.
The sentiment panel is adhered to the mat and then the mat is adhered to the card base.

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

Painted Seasons with Botanical Butterfly

February 23, 2019 admin

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.

Climbing Roses

February 19, 2019 admin

I used the Climbing Rose stamp set and the Rose Trellis Thinlits Dies for my card creation today. I also used butterflies from the Botanical Butterflies Designer Series Paper (DSP) {Free with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration}.

I need to say that I was in such a hurry with my last post I forgot to give Sue Prather credit for CAS(E)ing her. I had told her I was going to CAS(E) her card but forgot to mention it in my post. Click on Sue’s name above and you can go to her blog to see the beautiful card she made.

My inspiration for this card comes from the Global Design Project challenge for this week.

The card base is Granny Apple Green with a Basic Black mat for the Coastal Cabana panel that has been embossed using the Subtle’s Embossing Folder. The trellis is cut from Whisper White card stock using one of the Thinlits Dies from the Rose Trellis Thinlits Die set. The roses are stamped on a panel of Whisper White card stock in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink.

They are then colored using a Granny Apple Green Watercolor Pencil and a Melon Mambo Stampin’ Write Marker. Once the coloring is finished the roses are popped on the right corner of the Coastal Cabana mat using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The Happy Day is stamped on a scrap of Whisper White card stock in Melon Mambo and popped over the trellis with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The butterflies on the trellis are from the Botanical Butterfly DSP (free during Sale-A-Bration with a $50 purchase.) They are colored using Melon Mambo and Coastal Cabana Stampin’ Write Markers.

Three pearls from the Pearl Basic Jewel assortment are popped on the upper right corner of the card front.

The inside sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set is stamped in Melon Mambo on a panel of Whisper White matted on a panel of Basic Black. These panels are adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue. A butterfly from the Botanical Butterfly DSP is colored with Melon Mambo and Coastal Cabana Stampin’ Write Markers and adhered with Liquid Glue to the sentiment panel.

Animal Outing with Part of My Story

January 25, 2019 admin

I received the Animal Outing stamp set at OnStage Atlanta in April 2018. I have used it very little but think it is time to use it more as we now have a stamp set that has the perfect greeting for this (Part of My Story) free with $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration.

The card starts with a Lovely Lipstick card base. There are two large layer panels for mats, one is Basic Black, the other is cut from a panel of the All My Love DSP. They are adhered together using Liquid Glue then adhered to the card base using the same Liquid Glue.

My inspiration comes from Tuesday Morning Sketches.

Two smaller panels are cut one from Basic Black, the other from Lovely Lipstick. The Lovely Lipstick one is embossed using the Subtle’s TIEF. They are layered together and adhered to the large heart panel using Liquid Glue. A strip of the heart paper from the All My Love DSP is cut along with a strip of Basic Black card stock to make a banner across the card.

The kangaroo is stamped in Soft Suede on a panel of Crumb Cake and cut using the kangaroo die that comes in the bundle saving 10% if that is the way you purchased it. The kangaroo was masked so the little bear in the pouch would not show. A Lovely Lipstick heart cut from the All My Love DSP is adhered using a glue dot on the hand as if the kangaroo is holding the heart. The cute little hippo is stamped in Soft Suede on Gray Granite card stock and cut using his die. This little hippo wants to be different so he has a Coastal Cabana heart balancing on his nose.The greeting is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a stitched circle and has a Basic Black mat. Several Epoxy hearts are scattered around the card front. The front is finished. Let’s try for the inside sentiment.

The part of the sentiment is from the bundle called Well Said. It has been cut using Lovely Lipstick card stock. The “I Just” is printed by me. I didn’t have a stamp that says I Just Miss You so I used the two words from the Well Said bundle. The heart flourish is from the Forever Lovely stamp set and is stamped in Lovely Lipstick ink.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you like my card and that you have found encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.
