Good Morning Magnolia

April 25, 2019 admin

This is the magnolias from a sheet of the Magnolia Lane Memories and More Card Pack. This is a sheet of vellum with magnolias on it. I fussy cut them all to make the oval, I guess you would call it, although the label with the Thinking of You stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink is from the new Stitched Nested Label Dies (available June 4) and they are not oval.

My sketch inspiration and color come from the Double D Black and White Challenge.

I enjoy doing black and white cards. They are so cool and serene looking.

The card is very easy. Make a Basic Black card base, then cut a panel of Whisper White card stock and using the Stitched Nested Label Die cut the center of the card out. Adhere the Whisper White panel to the Basic Black base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stamp the greeting on the Stitched Nested Label using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink then place it back into the spot on the card from where it was cut. Arrange the magnolias around the label. Add 5 Basic Rhinestone Jewels on the card front and your card front is finished.

The inside sentiment is from the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set, Itty Bitty Birthday and Piece of Cake. I masked part of the sentiment from the Good Morning Magnolia as I only wanted the first two line. A magnolia is stamped in the corner of the sentiment panel so it will not look so plain and empty.

Thank you for stopping by today, I hope you like my card and find encouragement, inspiration or both for your own creations. Have a blessed day.

Twinkle, Twinkle

April 21, 2019 admin

This Little Twinkle stamp set that I have used very little and now it is going to be retired. Guess I will just have to use it as fast as I can and make more cards with it. The DSP is lovely also. This card is a few cuts with your paper cutter and then adhering using Liquid Glue or Stampin Dimensionals.

My design comes from Tuesday Morning Sketches.

The card base is Pool Party card stock with double mats of Night of Navy and Whisper White for the focal panel.

The focal panel is from the Twinkle, Twinkle DSP as is the three squares. The three squares are cut in Whisper White card stock using the Layering Square Dies. These are adhered to a panel from the Twinkle, Twinkle DSP which is popped on the focal panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Three Basic Adhesive Back Sequins are scattered over the focal panel. The greeting is in Night of Navy ink from another stamp set that is now retired but deals with the stars. As anyone knows you can use any greeting and sentiment you choose. Example: If you should happen to want to CAS(E) this card, you may decide that you want it to be a card for a baby or a child that is a superstar.

The sentiment is stamped in Night of Navy ink on a panel of Whisper White that has had stars punched in it on each side of the sentiment.

I adhered a panel of the Twinkle, Twinkle DSP to an envelope that was left over from a Stampin’ Up! kit.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you like the card and find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations. Have a blessed day.

Bird Ballad

April 19, 2019 admin

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.

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew April Blog Hop

April 9, 2019 admin

Welcome everyone—it’s that time — the second Tuesday of the month— and that means it is time for our Inkin’ Krew monthly team blog hop. It is going to be exciting to see what all the other team members have created. I know you are going to see lots of ideas and inspiration for your own creations. Our theme for April is “Feminine” we can interpret any way we choose! Now on to the hop! Enjoy!!

I have chosen the Beauty Abounds stamp set for my creation today. I’m hoping it passes the feminine test with the pink and lavender.

One of the challenges for today is the Paper Players as my card has lavender checks.

And… the Sisterhood of Crafters with Celebrate Spring as their challenge. Butterflies are spring.

And last but not least… Fusion Sketch Challenge.

My card is basically Whisper White card stock, as the base is Whisper White and the focal art panel is Whisper White with a border from the Gingham Gala 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and a top header from a panel of Highland Heather card stock that has been embossed with the Subtle TIEF.

This looks like an easy card, but for some reason, it was not so with me, I kept having to stamp the image again and could not decide on which butterflies to use. After three tries I had success.

I used the Delicate Lace Edgelits to make a lace border between the Whisper White focal panel and the Gingham Gala lavender panel. The image was stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on the Whisper White panel. I colored the flower flourish using Light Highland Heather, Light Balmy Blue, and Light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends pens. For the butterflies, I used Coastal Cabana ink and Melon Mambo ink. I stamped the Melon Mambo ink off once to give it a softer pink color instead of a bright pink.

The butterflies are popped around the flourish using Mini Stampin Dimensionals that are cut in half as the butterflies are too small for even a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional. The greeting is stamped in Highland Heather ink on a leftover circle from the March Paper Pumpkin. It too is popped on the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. A bow is made using Whisper White Twine and popped on the flourish with a Glue Dot.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Highland Heather on a panel of Whisper White card stock and matted on a panel of Highland Heather card stock and then adhered to the Whisper White card base. A butterfly is stamped three times in the corner of the panel without re-inking the stamp.
