Animal Outing with Part of My Story

Animal Outing with Part of My Story

I received the Animal Outing stamp set at OnStage Atlanta in April 2018.  I have used it very little but think it is time to use it more as we now have a stamp set that has the perfect greeting for this (Part of My Story) free with $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration.

The card starts with a Lovely Lipstick card base.  There are two large layer panels for mats, one is Basic Black, the other is cut from a panel of the All My Love DSP.  They are adhered together using Liquid Glue then adhered to the card base using the same Liquid Glue.  

My inspiration comes from Tuesday Morning Sketches.  

Two smaller panels are cut one from Basic Black, the other from Lovely Lipstick.  The Lovely Lipstick one is embossed using the Subtle’s TIEF.  They are layered together and adhered to the large heart panel using Liquid Glue.  A strip of the heart paper from the All My Love DSP is cut along with a strip of Basic Black card stock to make a banner across the card.

The kangaroo is stamped in Soft Suede on a panel of Crumb Cake and cut using the kangaroo die that comes in the bundle saving 10% if that is the way you purchased it. The kangaroo was masked so the little bear in the pouch would not show.  A Lovely Lipstick heart cut from the All My Love DSP is adhered using a glue dot on the hand as if the kangaroo is holding the heart. The cute little hippo is stamped in Soft Suede on Gray Granite card stock and cut using his die.  This little hippo wants to be different so he has a Coastal Cabana heart balancing on his nose.The greeting is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a stitched circle and has a Basic Black mat.  Several Epoxy hearts are scattered around the card front. The front is finished.  Let’s try for the inside sentiment.

The part of the sentiment is from the bundle called Well Said.  It has been cut using Lovely Lipstick card stock.  The “I Just” is printed by me.  I didn’t have a stamp that says I Just Miss You so I used the two words from the Well Said bundle.  The heart flourish is from the Forever Lovely stamp set and is stamped in Lovely Lipstick ink.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you like my card and that you have found encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.

Colorful Seasons

Colorful Seasons

Have you ever seen a frog with spots? He had water dropped on him.

I used the Colorful Seasons and So Hoppy Together stamp sets to create my card for today.

It is Thursday and the weekend’s almost upon us, can you believe? I think the sun is out a good bit of that time–so YAH! for the sun.

My design and inspiration come from two challenges this week. What Will You Stamp and Casology.

 

The card base is Shaded Spruce 4-1/4
x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ and then folded on score line.
                                                                            
The Animal Expedition DSP focal mat is cut 3-3/4″ x 5″ and adhered with Liquid Glue to the Lemon Lime Twist mat.
After the Animal Expedition Focal mat is adhered to the Lemon Lime Twist mat a length of ribbon is wrapped around the two panels and a bow is tied.  They are then adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue.

A frog from the stamp set So Hoppy Together is stamped  in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink and colored using a Blender Pen and Lemon Lime Twist stamp pad.  I masked off the cycle part of the stamp as I only wanted the frog.   The art piece was then adhered to a Lemon Lime Twist mat. Three hearts have been fussy cut from a panel of All My Love DSP and adhered using a tiny drop of Liquid Glue behind each.  That finishes the front.
The inside sentiment from the Colorful Seasons stamp set is stamped in Shaded Spruce Ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock.  A frog from the So Hoppy Together stamp set is stamped in Lemon Lime Twist in the corner of the card.
I hope you like my cute card and find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.

It’s A Happy Day with Lovely Lattice

It’s A Happy Day with Lovely Lattice

I hope it is warm where you are today.  It is extremely cold for Georgia I think.  Too cold to venture outside, so it is a good day for card making.  Come join me!  We can make this card together using the beautiful Lovely Lattice stamp set, free with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration.

The inspiration for today comes from Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge.  At first, I thought can I do this with these colors and I want to thank you for using them.  It was fun to see what I could do, especially with the Fresh Fig.

Loved creating this card, guess I am a kindergartener at heart.  I love coloring.  The card has a Whisper White card base with a Petal Pink mat for the art piece.  The Petal Pink mat has been embossed using the Subtle TIEF.  If you are still undecided about getting the Subtle embossing folder, go for it, it gives so much texture to a card and makes a world of difference in the way your card will look.  It is on page 223 of the Annual catalog.  I know we are all excited about the Occasions catalog but there are still great products in the Annual catalog also.

The mat is popped on the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The beautiful flowers from the Lovely Lattice stamp set are stamped on a panel of White White card stock using Memento Black Ink.  The flowers are watercolored using Fresh Fig and Mossy Meadow stamp pads.  You can see here how I did it.  You press the stamp pad so that ink will go into the lid and then with an Aqua Painter you add water as need.  

That is the reason I was so amazed at how the color of Fresh Fig turned out.  I had thought it would be dark for flowers but you can see from the card that it turned into a beautiful color by adding the water.  The Mossy Meadow ink color turned to a beautiful green after adding just a bit of water, you can see that also on the card. The decorative lattice piece on the right side is from the Petals and More Thinlits Dies set.  It is adhered using Liquid Glue.  Three Pearl Basic Jewels are popped on the art panel and finally, the art panel is popped on the Petal Pink mat using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The greeting stamped in Fresh Fig ink on a scrap of Whisper White card stock is from the Itty Bitty stamp set and was cut out the shape of the stamp.

The inside sentiment panel is stamped on  Whisper White card stock in Fresh Fig ink using sentiments from Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set. This Whisper White panel is adhered onto a panel of Petal Pink card stock and then onto the Whisper White card base.

Well, that is it for today! Come back tomorrow to see the latest creation.  I hope you like this one and it gives you encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.

  5. Turn the piece of All Is Lovely DSP over and cut a panel 3-1/4″ x 5-1/2″.
  6. Adhere with Liquid Glue to the red panel.
  7. From another piece of the DSP fussy cut the three flowers and pop them in the appropriate place on the flower panel.
  8. Stamp the greeting  from Amazing Life in Lovely Lipstick ink on a scrap of Whisper White card stock.
  9. Use one of the Rectangle Stitched  Framelits Dies to cut the greeting out by running it through the Big Shot.
  10. Pop it on the finished card from using Stampin Dimensionals.  The card front is finished. Now on to the inside sentiment.
  11. Cut a panel of Lovely Lipstick card stock 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″.
  12. Adhere to the Whisper White card base using Liquid Glue.
  13. Cut a panel of Whisper White card stock 4″ x 5-1/4″.

Well Said with Flourishing Phrases.

Well Said with Flourishing Phrases.

The weekend is here.  Many of you will have a 3 day weekend.  Enjoy!

 

My inspiration and design come from the Fusion Challenge – it’s about the elements.

My card today starts with a Thick Whisper White card base and a Thick Whisper White mat that has been embossed with the Layered Leaves TIEF.  This mat is adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue. The two mats for the focal pieces are from Balmy Blue card stock.  The focal pieces are from the Botanical Butterfly DSP (free with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration).  They are adhered to the mats with Liquid Glue.

The two butterflies that are die cut were cut from a Whisper White panel of card stock that had been watercolored so the butterflies would be variegated.  Balmy Blue, Pacific Point, Real Red, Granny Apple Green, and Pear Pizzazz were used to make the watercolor panel.  

The greeting piece is die cut using a Layering Stitched Circle die.  The greeting from the Well Said Stamp Bundle is stamped in Balmy Blue ink.  The word sympathy is cut using the Well Written Framelits Dies that coordinates with the Well Said stamp set, both are available in the 2019 Occasions catalog.  The sentiment circle is adhered to the card from using Liquid Glue on the left side and Stampin’ Dimensional on the right side to balance the circle. That’s it for the front. The inside sentiment from the Flourishing Phrases stamp set is stamped in Balmy Blue on a panel of Whisper White and matted on a panel of Balmy Blue.  Three die cut butterflies are adhered to the panel also.

That my card for today, I hope you like it and find it encouraging and inspirational for your own creations.

Be Blessed!
