Friendship – Page 2 – Stampin with Shirley G

Bird Ballad

April 19, 2019 admin Comments 5 comments

Here is a little sneak peek of one of the new DSP’s from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. This card is made using the beautiful DSP Bird Ballad.

My design is from the Fab Friday Challenge.

The card starts with a Pool Party card base. Funny how you can do something and not realize until it is finished that the card cut was not the cut you intended in the beginning.

A frame for the art panel was cut using two of the Stitched Rectangle dies. I placed the art panel in the frame and taped it on the back to hold it together then added to layers of card stock to give it some dimension. It is then adhered using Liquid Glue. The greeting is stamped on a scrap of Whisper White card stock in Calypso Coral ink. The greeting has been matted on a scrap of Pool Party card stock that I used my paper snips to make one end a banner.

Several Adhesive Backed Sequins were scattered over the art panel. I then made a matching envelope, decorating the flap and adding a bird to the front.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Calypso Coral ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock that has birds added to give a more Spring look.

Thanks for stopping by today. I am wishing you a blessed day this rainy Good Friday in Georgia. Hope you like the card and find encouragement or inspiration for your own creations.

Humming Along with Detailed with Love

My card is simple, easy and takes a short time to create.

I am playing along with two challenges today. Inspire Create Challenge#040 And …

Sunday Stamps Challenge 202

It is a Whisper White card base with three panels of three different DSP that was from the just gone by Sale-A-Bration. As you can see if you go to each card challenge there are many papers that can be used to create the design and many stamp designs to use to create the black and white challenge. I love black and white and could create more cards but I believe one entry is the limit for the challenge.

The Tailored Tag Punch is used to create the label for the greeting. The Whisper White one is trimmed to allow the Basic Black card stock to show around. Three black and white butterflies are cut from a scrap of the Botanical Butterfly DSP that is a just gone by Sale-A-Bration item. Three sequins from the Basic Adhesive Backed Sequins are colored with the Dark Black Stampin’ Blends Pen and scattered around the label.

The inside sentiment from the Humming Along stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a panel of Whisper White. A butterfly from the Beauty Abound stamp set is stamped several times on the sentiment panel without re-inking the stamp.

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

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!

Country Livin’

April 1, 2019 admin Comments 2 comments

It was a beautiful long weekend in this part of Georgia. Perfect for an outside wedding. One of my grandsons was married on Saturday so the busy time began on Monday and went all week. I know his poor Mom is completely exhausted. She might have been the mother of the groom, but she was sure a busy mom. The newlyweds are off to Hawaii and here we are cleaning up. The wedding was at Rose Lawn Museum in Cartersville, a beautiful old Victorian home that is now a museum. There is a story behind why the wedding was there. My grandson met his bride there, he had gone with friends to a play and she was the bride in the play after it was over they were introduced and a picture was taken of them while she still had on the wedding gown. So they could not resist having a real wedding there. That enough now on to the card for today.

The card is created using the Country Livin’ stamp set from the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog. This is a stamp set that will probably be retired, so I wanted to use it at least once more before it is gone. Colorful Seasons was used for the greeting on the card front. Well Said stamp set and the August 2018 Paper Pumpkin stamp set was used for the inside sentiment. This Paper Pumpkin sentiment is such a great one for a sympathy card.

The inspirations for the card comes from the Fusion Card Challenge for this week

And… Just Us Girls Wild Card Week #481

The card base is Crumb Cake card stock that has been embossed using the Subtle Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TEIF). The next panel is from the Wood Texture DSP and is embossed using the Pinewood Plank TEIF. It is adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue.

The boot image from the Country Livin’ stamp set is stamped on a panel of Thick Whisper White card stock using Crumb Cake ink and then Versa Mark ink and then heat embossed using Clear Embossing Powder. A sponge dauber is used to daub Crumb Cake ink on the boots. I picked up the wrong dauber, to begin with, and put Old Olive ink on the boots, then I daubed Crumb Cake ink over it. It turned out quite well making the boots look older. The edges of the panel were torn to give the panel an even older look, the edges were then daubed with Crumb Cake ink. This panel was popped on the embossed Wood panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Several sequins from the Sequin Assortment were scattered over the card front. A length of Jute Twine is wrapped around to give the appearance of a rope. It is attached to the card front using Glue Dots. The greeting is from the Colorful Seasons stamp set and is stamped in Early Expresso Ink on a strip of Whisper White card stock and then cut with paper snips to create a flag end.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Crumb Cake ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock using the Well Said stamp set and a stamp from the August 2018 Paper Pumpkin. The boots were stamped over the sentiments after being stamped off once to make the image lighter.

I hope you like my card and that you find inspiration and encouragement for your own creations. Have a blessed day!

My card is CAS(E)d from Tamara Bertram’s 2017 card. You can see her card by clicking on her name. I must have found her card on Pinterest some time ago since it is a 2017 card. That’s one reason I think this stamp set will be retired, it has been around since 2017 or maybe earlier.

Climbing Roses

March 25, 2019 admin Comments 2 comments

I loved making this card. I think it is so pretty. It is made using the Climbing Roses stamp set.

The inspiration for making it and the challenge for this card is the TGIF Challenge for the week. Stampin’ Blends are the highlight.

The Soft Sea Foam card base doesn’t show up as the color it is, but the card is still beautiful I think. A Highland Heather mat is added next. It is a good mix for the Soft Sea Foam and Whisper White card stock. The Whisper White card stock has been embossed using the Pinewood Planks Dynamic Textured Impression Embossing Folder (DTIEF)

A lattice is cut from a panel of Balmy Blue card stock using the lattice die from the Rose Trellis Thinlits Dies that is part of the Climbing Roses bundle. The Fine Tip Glue Pen was used to put the glue on such an intricate piece, it was then adhered to the Whisper White Pinewood Planks embossed panel.Tuxedo Memento Black Ink is used to stamp the Climbing Rose image on a square of Whisper White Thick card stock. The roses are colored using the Light Highland Heather and Light Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Pens. The Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter Pen was used to create the shading on the roses.

The greeting from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set is stamped in Highland Heather ink on a Whisper White circle that has been matted on a Soft Sea Foam circle cut from one of the Layering Circle Dies. Leaves have also been cut from Soft Sea Foam card stock. The leaves are adhered to the back of the circle using Glue Dots. A single rose is popped on the Whisper White circle using a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional. The Balmy Blue Ribbon is a Sale-A-Bration item and I did not include it in the list of items used as it is no longer available.

The inside sentiment is from the Picture Perfect Birthdays stamp set and is stamped in Highland Heather ink on a panel of Whisper White that has been matted on a Highland Heather card stock panel. Another stamp from the Climbing Roses stamp set is used to decorate the sentiment page. The flowers are stamped using Tuxedo Memento Black Ink and then colored using the same Stampin’ Blends Pens as the other roses.

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

My card is a CAS of Debbie Mageed’s card. Her card is absolutely beautiful but I can’t find the link to post so you can see it!
