Happy Birthday – Page 2 – Stampin with Shirley G

Humming Along and Sharing What You Love

November 21, 2018 admin

Welcome! I hope you like my pretty little card.

I decided to play along with the Tuesday Morning Sketches for this card.

The card base is Tranquil Tide, cut 4-1/4″ x 11″ and scored at 5-1/2″. The Basic Black mat is 4″ x 5-1/4″ and is popped onto the Tranquil Tide base with Stampin’ Dimensionals and becomes the mat for the three strips of Share What You Love DSP. Each strip is cut 5″ x 1-1/4″ and adhered to the Basic Black mat with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The greeting is stamped in Memento Black ink on Whisper White card stock and then cut out using a Layering Circle Framelits Die. A flower was fussy cut from a scrap of the Share What You Love DSP and popped on the edge of the circle with a Linen Thread bow (I call it a Mary Deatherage bow, because she is the one who showed me how to make it, if there is another name, I just re-named it for to me it will forever be a Mary Deatherage bow) adhered with a Glue Dot. There are 6 raindrops in the circle but they are hard to see.

The inside sentiment is from the Ribbons of Courage stamp (AC) set and the Amazing Life stamp set from the 2019 Occasions catalog available January 3, 2019 to June 3, 2019.

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.

Stampin’ Up! Buffalo Checks

November 6, 2018 admin

Welcome, here it is Wednesday and the week-end is on the way. As red is one of my favorite colors, the other being purple, I will love doing this As You See It Challenge.

This was a fast and easy card, but pretty from my point of view. I guess you could say that is in the eye of the beholder.

The Buffalo Check Stamp Pad was used in making this card. The Stamparatus was used so that it could be stamped as many times as necessary to get the depth of color desired. The stamp was inked with Memento Black in and stamped on a 5-1/4″ x 4″ panel of Cherry Cobbler.

The log panel at the top is from the Wood Texture DSP. It was fussy cut and adhered with Liquid Glue. The antlers were cut from the Night Owl Thinlits Dies also using a panel of Wood Texture DSP. It is a tree limb, but turned the right direction it can look like antlers. A length of Linen Thread was wrapped around the Buffalo Check panel twice and tied in a knot.

The greeting is cut using a scalloped oval die and stamped with a branches stamp from the Christmas Pines stamp set. The “happy birthday is a stamp from an old Paper Pumpkin that I cut in two pieces so it would fit this label. It is popped over the antlers with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The inside sentiment is stamped using Cherry Cobbler ink on a panel of Whisper White and matted on a Cherry Cobbler panel.

As always my hope for you is that you found encouragement or inspiration for your own creative endeavors whatever they maybe. Visit often. Have a great day!
