The card base is Whisper White card stock with a focal panel cut from the All My Love DSP. The hearts are cut using one of the heart dies from the Be Mine Framelits Dies. The word love is cut using a die from the Well Said stamp bundle. Several sequins are scattered over the card front.

The inside sentiment from the Forever Lovely stamp set is stamped in Lovely Lipstick on a panel of Whisper White card stock. The Lovely Lipstick hearts are from the Forever Lovely stamp set also.

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! Buffalo Checks meets Botanical Bliss

November 19, 2018 admin Comments 12 comments

These colors were a true challenge, but I loved it. It stretched my imagination. I would never have dreamed of putting these colors together, but one the card was finished, I love these colors together. My Buffalo Check plaid turned out great with the Mint Macaron check and the Tranquil Tide and Cajun Craze stripe.

My challenge for the week is with Fab Friday. It is a color challenge.

The card base is Tranquil Tide cut 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″. The mat is Cajun Craze cut at 5-1/4″ x 4″ adhered to the base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. All card stock has been embossed using the Subtle Embossing Folder. Have I told you before I love this folder, it makes card stock look so much better, not so blah! The panel for the plaid is Whisper White and Mint Macaron ink has been used to stamp the Buffalo Checks. It took three stamping to get the color of Mint Macaron wanted. A Cajun Craze Stampin Write Marker was used to make the wide stripe across the checks, then the pen end of a Tranquil Tide Stampin’ Write Marker was use to make the narrow stripe. Embossing the plaid panel makes it look like fabric. This turned out making a nice plaid. Two circles were cut from Blackberry Bliss and Cajun Craze to frame the Whisper White circle that the Happy Birthday was stamped using Blackberry Bliss ink. Three Faceted Dots in Blackberry Bliss were adhered. The flowers are from the Botanical Blisss stamp set and was stamped in Blackberry Bliss and then Versa Mark and heat embossed using Clear Embossing Powder. They were colored using Blackberry Bliss and Mint Macaron ink and a Blender pen. Twigs cut from Blackberry Bliss, Cajun Craze, Mint Macaron, and Tranquil Tide were adhered using Glue Dots. A Linen Thread bow is attached using a Glue Dot also. I call this my Mary Deatherage bow as she is the one who showed me how to make it. After the circles flowers, twigs and bow were attached to the Mint Macaron plaid panel, it was adhered to the Cajun Craze panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The sentiment is from the Postcard Pals and Picture Perfect stamp sets and is stamped on a panel of Whisper White card stock using Blackberry Bliss ink. The flowers are stamped in Memento Black Ink and colored using Mint Macaron and Blackberry Bliss inks using a Blender pen.

Thanks for stopping by today. As always, my wish for you is that you find encouragement and inspiration for your own creative ideas. Visit often.
