Delicate Lace Edgelits – Stampin with Shirley G

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew April Blog Hop

April 9, 2019 admin

Welcome everyone—it’s that time — the second Tuesday of the month— and that means it is time for our Inkin’ Krew monthly team 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 April is “Feminine” we can interpret any way we choose! Now on to the hop! Enjoy!!

I have chosen the Beauty Abounds stamp set for my creation today. I’m hoping it passes the feminine test with the pink and lavender.

One of the challenges for today is the Paper Players as my card has lavender checks.

And… the Sisterhood of Crafters with Celebrate Spring as their challenge. Butterflies are spring.

And last but not least… Fusion Sketch Challenge.

My card is basically Whisper White card stock, as the base is Whisper White and the focal art panel is Whisper White with a border from the Gingham Gala 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and a top header from a panel of Highland Heather card stock that has been embossed with the Subtle TIEF.

This looks like an easy card, but for some reason, it was not so with me, I kept having to stamp the image again and could not decide on which butterflies to use. After three tries I had success.

I used the Delicate Lace Edgelits to make a lace border between the Whisper White focal panel and the Gingham Gala lavender panel. The image was stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on the Whisper White panel. I colored the flower flourish using Light Highland Heather, Light Balmy Blue, and Light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends pens. For the butterflies, I used Coastal Cabana ink and Melon Mambo ink. I stamped the Melon Mambo ink off once to give it a softer pink color instead of a bright pink.

The butterflies are popped around the flourish using Mini Stampin Dimensionals that are cut in half as the butterflies are too small for even a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional. The greeting is stamped in Highland Heather ink on a leftover circle from the March Paper Pumpkin. It too is popped on the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. A bow is made using Whisper White Twine and popped on the flourish with a Glue Dot.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Highland Heather on a panel of Whisper White card stock and matted on a panel of Highland Heather card stock and then adhered to the Whisper White card base. A butterfly is stamped three times in the corner of the panel without re-inking the stamp.

Strong and Beautiful Detailed with Love

April 9, 2019 admin

My card today is created using the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper and the Strong and Beautiful and Detailed with Love stamp sets.

My inspiration today is from the As You See It Challenge–the challenge is Starburst and Lace.

And…

This card is a really easy and simple card. The card base is from Smokey Slate card stock with a Blushing Bride mat for the focal panel of flowers from the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper (DSP).

A length of Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon is wrapped around the focal panel and mat and tied in a bow. Using the Delicate Lace Edgelits a piece is cut to add a bit of lacy edging to the bottom of the floral focal panel. Seems I have used this DSP a lot this week.OK

The greeting is stamped in Smokey Slate on a circle of Whisper White card stock that is matted with another circle that is cut from Smokey Slate card stock. It is popped on the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Three Basic Adhesive Backed Sequins are added to the greeting on the card front.

A floral panel is cut from the Petal Promenade DSP and the sentiment is stamped in Smokey Slate ink. The sentiment is from the Strong and Beautiful stamp set and is adhered with Liquid Glue to the Blushing Bride mat which is then adhered to the Smokey Slate card base.

Thank you for stopping by today. Hope you love my card as much as I loved making it. Have a blessed day!

You Are Stronger Than Most!

April 6, 2019 admin

My card today is from the Beautiful Promenade stamp set. I was reluctant to buy this set only the DSP but a friend gifted this to me and I am so happy she did. It has turned out to be a favorite.

My design and inspiration come from the CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge for the week, designed by Brian King.

Don’t you think this is a beautiful combination, a panel of the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper (DSP), the Quilting Top Embossing Folder and Delicate Lace Edgelits? I have used this DSP so much that I ordered for a third time — to me, it is simply stunning. Here is a look at the colors and pattern of the Petal Promenade DSP.

Blushing Bride, Fresh Fig, Grapefruit Grove,
Highland Heather, Mossy Meadow, Petal Pink, Sahara Sand, Smokey Slate, Tranquil Tide, Very Vanilla, Whisper White

Can you pick out all the colors in the DSP?

The card base is Mossy Meadow card stock with a panel of Whisper White next that has been embossed using the Quilting Top Embossing Folder.

A panel is cut from the Petal Promenade DSP and then cut on a diagonal. One of the dies from the Delicate Lace Edgelits is used to cut the lace edge that is separating the Whisper White embossed panel and the Petal Promenade panel. It is adhered to the Petal Promenade panel and then to the Whisper White embossed panel using Liquid Glue.

The greeting and flower motif from the Beautiful Promenade stamp set are stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock and then cut out using one of the Layering Circle Framelits which has a Mossy Meadow mat.

The inside sentiment from the Beautiful Promenade stamp set is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock and adhered using Liquid Glue.

Thanks for stopping by today. My hope is that you find encouragement and inspiration in your own creations. Have a blessed day!

Graceful Garden with Wonderful Romance

January 6, 2019 admin

My card today is a combination of Graceful Garden stamp set, Seasoned With Kindness stamp set, Wonderful Floral Framelits Dies (coordinates with the Wonderful Romance stamp set) and the Delicate Lace Edgelits. I tried a little watercolor on this card to give it a bit of texture. The Graceful Garden rose is really pretty in real time, but it looks a little faded here. I believe it is because it was heat embossed after being stamped with Melon Mambo ink. Does that look like Melon Mambo to you. The watercolor pencil doesn’t look like Melon Mambo either.

My sketch layout come from Freshly Made Sketches this week.

The rose from the Graceful Garden serves as my circle for the layout. The base is Bermuda Bay card stock. This is a true simple card, two layers really. The card base and the art piece. The art piece background is colored in Coastal Cabana, Balmy Blue and Lemon Lime Twist. After I lightly colored an area with the Balmy Blue and Lemon Lime Twist, I used an Aqua Painter with water to turn the coloring into a watercolor panel. The Balmy Blue was too blue for my card base so I added some Coastal Cabana to it and it turned out great with the color. A piece of edgelit was cut from Whisper White card stock using the Delicate Lace Edgelits Dies. It was adhered to the edge of the watercolor panel using Liquid Glue.

Two strips were cut from Bermuda Bay and Lemon Lime Twist to make the banners under the rose. A die from the Wonderful Floral Framelits Dies ( this die set coordinates with the Wonderful Romance stamp set) to cut leaves from Bermuda Bay and Lemon Lime Twist card stock.

The Graceful Garden rose is stamped on a panel of watercolor paper in Melon Mambo ink and then stamped with Versa Mark and heat embossed using Clear Embossing Powder. The rose is then colored using a Melon Mambo watercolor pencil. The rose was fussy cut after being colored. The leaves were attached to the back of the rose using two Glue Dots. It was easier doing it that way, you could tell exactly how the leaves needed to be placed around the rose. After attaching the leaves to the Graceful Garden rose it was popped on the water colored panel using Mini Stamp in Dimensionals.

The inside sentiment is stamped on a panel of Whisper White that is matted on a Lemon Lime Twist panel of card stock. A rose from the Graceful Garden stamp set was stamped on a panel of white watercolor card stock and then colored with the same colors as the rose on the front of the card. It is adhered with Multipurpose Liquid Glue in the lower right corner of the sentiment panel.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you liked my card. All comments are appreciated. My wish as always is for you to find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.
