Stampin with Shirley G

I received this stamp set at OnStage Atlanta and have used it barely, so thought I should start making good use of it since it is such a cute stamp set. I have seen so many cute cards made with this set.

I decided to play with the Stamp Ink Paper Challenge Card Maker’s Choice.

 

Here is the card recipe.

Berry Burst – Card base  5-1/4 x 8-1/2. Scored at 4-1/4.

Garden Green- Mat embossed with Layered Leaves TIEF. Mat cut 4 x 5-1/4

Animal Expedition DSP – 2-1/4 x 3-3/4 strip. Popped on the top of the Garden Green Mat.

 1-1/4 x 4 strip for the inside sentiment panel.

Smokey Gray – Rhino stamped using Memento Black Ink and fussy cut as the dies for this stamp set are on back-order.  I popped him on a bed of Linen and Copper Metal Thread that I had wrapped around my hand a few times.

Circle Layering Framelits- Two sizes used for the greeting on the front. Whisper White and Berry Burst.

Garden Green Ink – Used for stamping the green on the Whisper White circle.

That’s the card for today!

                 Have a blessed day.  Stay cool it is hot outside.   92 here today!   

 I wanted to learn to do this.  I call it reflection.  I watch a video by  Jan B of the UK .  She gave very good detailed instructions. If you want to learn to do this I would suggest watching her video, but there are several on You Tube that have this technique.  Jan said she learned it watching Dawn Griffith video. So it seems it is from one side of the Pond to the other and back.

 

It looks harder than it really is, just takes a bit of time, the first time you try it.  I’ve made two cards already.  The first one was not too great, I call it my practice learning one.  I will post it at the end of this post.

As usual, I started with the card base, choosing Crumb Cake as the color.  I then cut a panel of Dapper Denim (retired) forgot about that until I started doing my list of Products Used.  I embossed this using the Seaside TIEF.  I cut a panel of Whisper White card stock for the art piece.  I taped everything on the stamp except the little boy, then I stamped him using Memento Black Ink.  Be sure to take the tape from the stamp before stamping or you will have a big blob of black ink. To make the reflection, I stamped the little boy on a sheet of acetate that I pulled out of an old stamp set.  You can always put it back. Be sure to line up the feet when you are doing this.  Once you have carefully laid the acetate piece on down use your bone folder or a brayer to rub over the piece of acetate to get the image to adhere to the paper.  The ink residue wipes off clean with a baby wipe.  I colored the boy using watercolor pencils.

I then stamped the two trees using the Lovely As A Tree Stamp Set.  I only used the top portion  of the pine tree and drew the tree trunk using a Crumb Cake Stampin Write Marker.

I colored the water, sky and bank using an Aqua Painter and Pool Party and Crumb Cake Stampin Ink Pads.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Dapper Denim on a panel of Whisper White matted to a  panel of Dapper Denim and then adhered to the card base. I stamped another tree from the Lovely As A Tree Stamp Set on the inside panel.

This is my practice one.

That’s all for today!  I know it was rather lenghty but wanted you to have all the great information about becoming a demonstrator.  Happy Stampin’

I know many of you are saying Yeah! the week-end is upon us. Here’s hoping you have a fun week-end planned.  Maybe it is going to the lake, taking the kids to the park or just relaxing after a long week of work. Here are a few cards I have worked on.  Made  them for a friend. She was going to a 25th Anniversary party and needed an anniversary card. Also, two thanks you cards for two individuals who had shown extreme kindness and generosity to her family.  I was happy to make for her.  It is a blessing to me to hear of  blessings bestowed upon someone.

First is 25th Anniversary.  Most of the products used in this card are from retired products.  The card base is Soft Sky which is retired, as is the silver panel and the silver leaf panel.  Since this is for a Silver Anniversary, I thought the silver DSP would be appropriate.  The silver thread and ribbon are current from the new catalog for 2018-2019. I cut each panel 2-1/4 x 4. Taped them together on the back and then popped them on the Soft Sky card base.  I could not find my CELEBRATE  die, so I used the alphabet dies to cut out the Celebrate and the 25. 

The inside sentiment is from  the Love You Still stamp set the  2018 Occasions Catalog.  The sentiment on the right side, I  typed and printed from my computer.  I had seen a card once with this verse and liked it.

My Second Card is a Thank You card using once again the Springtime Foils DSP. I colored the DSP using Blackberry Bliss and a sponge dauber.  I stamped the bird art piece on a circle cut using Layering Framelit Dies.  I colored the bird using a Pool Party Stampin Write Marker.  The Thank You is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes also Retired but you could use a thank you from any stamp set.

The inside sentiment is from the Petal  Palette Stamp Set.  I also used a panel of the colored Springtime Foils colored with Blackberry Bliss on the inside to decorate the page.

I added a panel of the colored DSP to the envelope flap also.

Third card is another Thank You.  It doesn’t look much like Pumpkin Pie card stock, but that is the color.  It looks more like a tangerine in the picture.   I used the Vertical Greeting Stamp Set.  The Blackberry Bliss mat is 4 x 5-1/4.  The green strip and polka dot DSP are cut 2-1/4 x  5 .  I taped them together on the back and then used liquid glue to adhere to the Blackberry Bliss mat.   The art piece is 2-1/4 x 4-1/4. The Blackberry Bliss mat for the art piece is cut 2-1/2 x 4-1/2. The Pumpkin Pie mat is cut 2-1/4 x 4-1/4 and off set to one side.                   

The inside sentiment is from the Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set.

That’s all for today.  Have a blessed day!  Visit again.

I think this a lovely card with all the embossed flowers and roses I made for a friend’s birthday.  You may  think it is a hard card to make, but it is simple, just multiple layers

 

You can see complete instructions here, better than I can explain Debbie’s Designs

Or you can go to Pinterest and put in Z fold cards and you will get all kinds of cards. There are several different z fold as you will find when you search Pinterest.

This is the card all spread out.

This is the card  folded.  It fits in a regular card envelope.

Stamp the art pieces with the Flourishing Phrases stamp using Tranquil Tide ink and then stamp with Versa Mark and use Clear Embossing Powder to  heat set.  Color using Melon Mambo and Pear Pizzazz ink and an Aqua Painter.  The Vellum leaves are from the Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit (retired).  You can cut leaves from plain vellum to use.  I had these left over, so I thought why not use.  The rose on the 1 5/8 x 2 panels is from Petal Palette.

These two challenges are the ones I have entered this card in.  Challenge #134 Embossing

Cuts for the card

Whisper White panels for the art piece. Cut 2 pieces 1 5/8 x 5 and 2 pieces 1 5/8 x 2. Cut one  5 x 3 3/4.

 

 

I have not used this new stamp set before it is available in the 2018-2019 catalog.  This set was given out at OnStage Atlanta.  I think I am going to really like using this stamp set.

I used Whisper White for my card base, then used a panel of Old Olive cut 4 x 5-1/4 and embossed it using the Layering Leaves Embossing Folder.  I think the Layer Leaves goes well with the Animal Outing stamps.  The Share What You Love DSP is a packet of paper you should purchase.  It has so many beautiful different designs of paper in it.  I have used pieces from this DSP several times since being able to buy as a demonstrator after OnStage Atlanta.

 

The greeting is from the Animal Outing Stamp Set also.DSP on the front.

I have entered this card in the Freshly Made Sketches 339 Challenge.

Also entered into the Just Us Girls Word Week $#443 Outside

 

I found this new challenge and thought I would enter it also. Why No?  It is called Creative With Stamps.
