Granny Apple Green – Stampin with Shirley G

Painted Seasons with Botanical Butterfly

February 23, 2019 admin

My card is created using the Painted Seasons Bundle. The Designer Series Paper is so pretty. This panel that I have used for this card is so cool and clean looking. It makes me think of a hot afternoon sitting in the cool parlor of an old house long ago. I remember it had a big ceiling fan that swirled around slowly but the coolness was divine on a hot summer day. The Happy Day greeting is from the Itty Bitty Greeting stamp set. I just can’t get away from that Itty Bitty, can I? Be it Itty Bitty Greetings or Itty Bitty Birthday!

My sketch design comes from Try Stamping On Tuesday.

My card base is Lemon Lime Twist with a Pool Party mat for the Painted Seasons DSP. The two different designs of the DSP make a good contrast. A Coastal Cabana- Granny Apple Green Reversible Ribbon is wrapped around the focal panel and tied in a bow. Three butterflies cut from a panel of Botanical Butterfly DSP are scattered on the focal panel and adhered with Glue Dots. The focal panel is adhered to the Pool Party mat then the panels are adhered to the card base.

The inside Whisper White sentiment panel is stamped in Call Me Clover ink using a stamp from the Cake Soriee stamp set. A flower is also stamped in Call Me Clover on the panel. The panel is matted on a panel of Pool Party card stock and adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue. It amazes me how the flower look once it has been added to the blog post it looks nothing like that in real time. I took several pictures and each one turned out with that effect.

Thanks for stopping by today. May you find encouragement and inspiration just a bit from my card. Have a blessed day.

Climbing Roses

February 19, 2019 admin

I used the Climbing Rose stamp set and the Rose Trellis Thinlits Dies for my card creation today. I also used butterflies from the Botanical Butterflies Designer Series Paper (DSP) {Free with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration}.

I need to say that I was in such a hurry with my last post I forgot to give Sue Prather credit for CAS(E)ing her. I had told her I was going to CAS(E) her card but forgot to mention it in my post. Click on Sue’s name above and you can go to her blog to see the beautiful card she made.

My inspiration for this card comes from the Global Design Project challenge for this week.

The card base is Granny Apple Green with a Basic Black mat for the Coastal Cabana panel that has been embossed using the Subtle’s Embossing Folder. The trellis is cut from Whisper White card stock using one of the Thinlits Dies from the Rose Trellis Thinlits Die set. The roses are stamped on a panel of Whisper White card stock in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink.

They are then colored using a Granny Apple Green Watercolor Pencil and a Melon Mambo Stampin’ Write Marker. Once the coloring is finished the roses are popped on the right corner of the Coastal Cabana mat using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The Happy Day is stamped on a scrap of Whisper White card stock in Melon Mambo and popped over the trellis with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The butterflies on the trellis are from the Botanical Butterfly DSP (free during Sale-A-Bration with a $50 purchase.) They are colored using Melon Mambo and Coastal Cabana Stampin’ Write Markers.

Three pearls from the Pearl Basic Jewel assortment are popped on the upper right corner of the card front.

The inside sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set is stamped in Melon Mambo on a panel of Whisper White matted on a panel of Basic Black. These panels are adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue. A butterfly from the Botanical Butterfly DSP is colored with Melon Mambo and Coastal Cabana Stampin’ Write Markers and adhered with Liquid Glue to the sentiment panel.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you like my card and that you can find a bit of encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.

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.
