Stampin’ Up! Flourishing Phrases

November 5, 2018 admin

WOW! here it is Sunday and I know everyone going to OnStage is excited with anticipation as to what fun is ahead for this week! Some of you are probably like a child on Christmas Eve!

The card for today is from retired Stampin’ Up! colors. I was thrilled that I still had them all. I believe one of the colors is over 10 years old, but the stamp pad was still as juicy as a new pad. I even have Gumball Green and Midnight Muse card stock– wonder of wonders! (See Product List at the end to see substitutes.) Inspiration for the card is from CAS Colour and Sketches.

Also playing along with Watercooler Wednesday Challenge WWC194 Anything Goes .

Here is the card recipe:

The stamp set used is Flourishing Phrases and Dragonfly Dreams.

Gumball Green – card base 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ – embossed using the Subtle Embossing Folder.

Midnight Muse – mat 4-1/4” x 3”

Gumball Green – mat 4” x 2-3/4”

Whisper White Thick – art piece 3-3/4” x 2-1/2” Ink applied to stamp with a Blender Pen using Gumball Green and Raspberry Ripple ink and then with Versa Mark and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. Embossing with clear embossing powder give a shine to the art piece.

Midnight Muse Ribbon – for the bow.

On the inside, 2 leaves were stamped in opposite corners in Gumball Green on the sentiment panel along with the sentiment from the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set.

Each panel was adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I have listed the current products that you can use to create this card that are similar to the retired products I used for this challenge. The last 5 products on the product list below are the retired products I used.

Stampin’ Up! Hanging Garden Broadway Bound

November 3, 2018 admin

Welcome to my blog!

I love making cards with strips and dots but afraid I have not done justice to these strips and dots. There are so many beautiful cards. Check them out at Double “D” Challenge

I’m also playing along at Global Design Project . Check out all the fabulous cards on this site also.

This was a very easy card to create. A card base of Basic Black cut 4-1/4″ x 11″and scored at 5-1/2.” A mat was cut from the Broadway Bound DSP and adhered to the Basic Black card base with Liquid Glue. A banner was cut 3-1/2″ x 2-3/4″ from a piece of the Broadway Bound DSP. The birthday cake is fussy cut from a scrap of the same DSP.

The inside sentiment is from the Hanging Garden stamp set and is stamped in Memento Black ink on the Whisper White panel. The panel is made to look like a marquee with the strips and dots adhered around it. The shine of the gold stripe and the gold dots does not show up in the picture. You can see the shine in the picture below.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you found inspiration and encouragement for your life endeavors. Have a great week.
