Country Floral TIEF

February 10, 2019 admin

This card just sort of happened. The Country Flora embossing folder is one of the freebies ($50 purchase required) available in the second release of Sale-A-Bration. When mine arrived, I wondered what it would look like if the flowers were colored, so I used sponge daubers with Lovely Lipstick, Flirty Flamingo and Pear Pizzazz ink and sponged the ink on the embossing folder then put it through the Big Shot. Well… it turned out to be a great looking art panel so I decided to use it for a card. Then one of our Krew members said her mom was having her 96th birthday and we could send her a card if we wanted too. I thought a precious lady who has graced her family and friends with that many years needs lots of birthday cards, so I used the beautiful embossed piece to make a card for her.

My inspiration comes from the Inspire Create Challenge for this week. How appropriate the Theme is Sale-A-Bration freebies and the embossing folder

The embossed panel with a Polka Dot Tulle ribbon tied in a bow was popped on a Whisper White card base. Happy Birthday was cut from the Well Said stamp bundle. The 96 is cut from an old die set. The card is finished. Thank you for stopping by today. The card looks much better and I think beautiful in person. Hope you can find encouragement and inspiration from it. There is no inside sentiment to show, I forgot to take a picture and I do hope I put an inside sentiment before mailing to that sweet precious lady. Have a blessed day.

After my card was made, I was looking at the SAB brochure and it seems I am CAS(E)ing Stampin’ Up’s! sample card. Had not noticed it before deciding to see what the embossing panel would look like with color. Great minds think the same!!

Needle and Thread and Ribbon of Courage

February 8, 2019 admin

Yesterday was a beautiful sunshiny and hot day–81 degrees here and it is only February. Does that mean we have a very hot sultry summer that will make us housebound for the coolness of the air conditioner?

My card is created using the Ribbon of Courage stamp set (annual catalog) and the Needlepoint Nook Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the 2019 Occasions catalog. The Poppy Parade flowers on the art piece are from the Wonderful Romance stamp set ( 2019 Occasions catalog.

My inspiration and design comes from the As You See It Challenge #193.

And…

Tuesday Morning Sketches

My card base is Night of Navy card stock with a Balmy Blue card stock mat. The three focal panels are from the Needlepoint Nook DSP.

The art piece with the greeting from the Ribbon of Courage stamp set is stamped in Poppy Parade ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock and then cut out using the Layering Circle Framelits Dies.

The art piece is adhered using Liquid Glue to a Balmy Blue mat that has also been cut using the Layering Circle Framelits Dies.

The mat is then popped in the center of the focal panel using Stampin Dimensionals. A few lengths of Whisper White Twine is wrapped around this panel and tied in a bow. A few sequins from the Gingham Gala sequins are scattered around the card front and added to the center of the two Poppy Parade flowers.

That’s it for the card front now on to the inside sentiment.

The sentiment from the 2019 Sale-A Bration catalog Home to Roost stamp set (FREE with $50 purchase) is stamped in Poppy Parade ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock that is matted on a panel of Balmy Blue card stock.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you like my card. My wish is that you find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations. from the

Painted Seasons with So Hoppy Together

February 5, 2019 admin

Today you get a sneak peek of one of the new Sale-A-Bration goodies, Painted Seasons DSP available February 15. I am also using the So Hoppy Together stamp set, another FREEBIE with a $50 purchase.

Inspiration and design come from the Paper Craft Crew Challenge. I’ve chosen the bottom row—Something New, No Hearts, and Texture. My something new is the new Designer Series Paper that will be available February 15, no hearts in sight and my frog has texture. He’s a cutie!

The card base is Crumb Cake card stock with mats of Poppy Parade and Lemon Lime Twist card stock. The panels are adhered using Liquid Glue.

A background panel is cut using the new Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the Painted Seasons bundle that is available February 15. Three strands of Linen Thread is wrapped around the panel and secured in the back with Glue Dots.

A circle has been cut from Crumb Cake card stock using the Layering Circle Framelits Dies. The frog and butterfly from the So Hoppy Together stamp set are stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a square of Whisper White card stock. They are colored using Lemon Lime Twist and Poppy Parade Stamping Write Markers. The frog and butterfly are cut using the dies that are available March 1.

After the frog and butterfly are colored they are popped on the Lemon Lime Twist lily pad which is cut using the Hop on Around Framelits Dies available March 1. The lily pad is then adhered on the Crumb Cake circle and embossed with the Subtle Textured Impression Embossing Folder (TIEF). Gingham Gala sequins are scattered over the Crumb Cake Circle and then the circle is popped on the Painted Seasons background.

The inside sentiment from the stamp set Well Said is stamped in Crumb Cake on a panel of Whisper White that has been matted on a panel of Poppy Parade card stock. A border is added at the bottom from the Painted Seasons DSP.

That’s my card for today, I hope you like it and find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations. Have a blessed day!
