Beautiful Promenade

Beautiful Promenade

Today’s card is very simple and easy to make and is created using the Beautiful Promenade and Picture Perfect stamp sets.  Thank you Amy Koenders for the gift of the Beautiful Promenade stamp set.  

My card design is coming from the Fab Friday Challenge for this week.

My card starts with a Smokey Slate card base. As you can see it is so simple, just the card base with two mats and then the greeting and art panel.

A panel of Blackberry Bliss is cut for the mat for the panel of  Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper (DSP).  These are adhered to each other and then to the card base.

I turned the panel of Petal Promenade DSP to the reverse side and cut a panel for the greeting.  The greeting is stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink using a stamp from the Picture Perfect stamp set.  Blackberry Bliss card stock is used for the mat for this panel also.

The big flower stamp from the Beautiful Promenade stamp set is used to stamp the flowers in Blackberry Bliss and Flirty Flamingo.  They are cut out using the Beautiful Layers Thinlits Dies.  The leaves are stamped in Mossy Meadow and cut using the leave die from this set.  Three pearls from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls are scattered on the front of this panel.  The flowers are popped onto the panel using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The leaves are stuck on the back of the flowers using Glue Dots.  The finished panel is then popped on the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card front is finished.

The inside sentiment panel is equally as beautiful and as simple as the front of the card.  Stamp the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink on the Whisper White card stock panel, then select a section of the Beautiful Promenade DSP that has pretty flowers close together so you are able to cut a 2″ panel to adhere opposite the sentiment.  Adhere this finished panel to a Blackberry Bliss mat and then adhere to the card base.

Thanks for stopping by today.  My hope is that you find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.  Have a blessed day!

Climbing Roses

Climbing Roses

I loved making this card.  I think it is so pretty.  It is made using the Climbing Roses stamp set.

The inspiration for making it and the challenge for this card is the TGIF Challenge for the week. Stampin’ Blends are the highlight.

 

The Soft Sea Foam card base doesn’t show up as the color it is, but the card is still beautiful I think.  A Highland Heather mat is added next.  It is a good mix for the Soft Sea Foam and Whisper White card stock.  The Whisper White card stock has been embossed using the Pinewood Planks Dynamic Textured Impression Embossing Folder (DTIEF)

A lattice is cut from a panel of Balmy Blue card stock using the lattice die from the Rose Trellis Thinlits Dies that is part of the Climbing Roses bundle.  The Fine Tip Glue Pen was used to put the glue on such an intricate piece, it was then adhered to the Whisper White Pinewood Planks embossed panel.Tuxedo Memento Black Ink is used to stamp the Climbing Rose image on a square of Whisper White Thick card stock.  The roses are colored using the Light Highland Heather and Light Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Pens.  The Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter Pen was used to create the shading on the roses.

The greeting from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set is stamped in Highland Heather ink on a Whisper White circle that has been matted on a Soft Sea Foam circle cut from one of the Layering Circle Dies.  Leaves have also been cut from Soft Sea Foam card stock.  The leaves are adhered to the back of the circle using Glue Dots.  A single rose is popped on the Whisper White circle using a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.  The Balmy Blue Ribbon is a Sale-A-Bration item and I did not include it in the list of items used as it is no longer available.

The inside sentiment is from the Picture Perfect Birthdays stamp set and is stamped in Highland Heather ink on a panel of Whisper White that has been matted on a Highland Heather card stock panel.  Another stamp from the Climbing Roses stamp set is used to decorate the sentiment page.  The flowers are stamped using Tuxedo Memento Black Ink and then colored using the same Stampin’ Blends Pens as the other roses.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you like my card.  Have a blessed day.

My card is a CAS of Debbie Mageed’s card.  Her card is absolutely beautiful but I can’t find the link to post so you can see it!

Dragonfly Dreams

Dragonfly Dreams

Here it is a cold weekend and I thought Spring had sprung, but guess there must be more days of cold.  Have a great weekend anyway!  I really used a lot of stamp sets on the creation of this card.  Hello Cupcake, Beautiful Bouquet, Itty Bitty Greetings stamp sets and the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies.

These are my challenges for the week:

As You See It Challenge #196

 

Tuesday Morning Sketches

 

I am excited that my card qualifies for three challenges that rarely happens.
 
The card starts with a Whisper White card base and a mat of Basic Black card stock for all the different strip of 6″ x 6″ DSP.  You can see the different stacks at the bottom of this post.
 
The strips are adhered to the Basic Black mat using Liquid Glue, leaving a small border between each strip so you have the effect of a mat around each strip.  Once all the strips are adhered, the Basic Black mat is adhered to the Whisper White card base using Liquid Glue.
The dragonflies from the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies  are cut from Basic Black card stock that has an Adhesive Multipurpose Sheet adhered to it for easier adhering.   Four sets were cut twice and adhered together.  Since there are only five I had to cut twice to have enough for the entire card front.  By adhering the four set together it gives them dimension and depth.  By using an Adhesive Multipurpose Sheet it makes it easier to adhere the dragonflies together.  It is much less messy also as using Liquid Glue you get real gluey fingers.Different jewels were adhered to each dragonfly to give them a bit of Bling!  The Happy Birthday is stamped in Soft Suede on a small scrap and then cropped to a small size to fit the space it is adhered.  The card front is finished.
The inside sentiment is stamped in Shaded Spruce on a panel of Whisper White that has been matted on a panel of Basic Black card stock.  Two dragonflies are stamped to give the panel a bit of decoration.
 
Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you like my card.  Visit again soon.  Have a blessed day!

Humming Along with Climbing Roses and Botanical Butterfly

Humming Along with Climbing Roses and Botanical Butterfly

My card today is a mix of two stamp sets and DSP, Humming Along and Climbing Roses stamp sets and Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (DSP).  I sure wish that this DSP would carry over to the new Annual Catalog, but unfortunately, it probably will not happen.  I can’t remember, but maybe it has, a DSP being carried over.

My design comes from the Sunday Stamps Challenge. for this week.

My card base is Pumpkin Pie card stock cut 4-1/4″ x  11″, scored at 5-1/2″ and folded on the scoreline.

  • Next comes a 2-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ panel of Night of Navy that has been embossed with the Pinewood Plank  Embossing Folder.
  • A 2-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ panel of Pumpkin Pie card stock is next.  It is also embossed using the Pinewood Plank Embossing Folder.
  • The Night of Navy and Pumpkin Pie panels are adhered to the Pumpkin Pie card base using Liquid Glue.
  • A Whisper White label is cut using one of the dies from the Rose Trellis Thinlits Dies.
  • The greeting is stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink using a stamp from the Climbing Roses stamp set.
  • A large and small butterfly is cut from a panel of the Botanical Butterfly DSP.
  • The large butterfly is popped on the upper corner of the Night of Navy panel using a Stampin’ Dimensional.
  • The small butterfly is popped on the greeting label that has been popped into the center of the card front.
  • Three sequins from the Sequin Assortment are scattered over the card front.
  • A bow (I call it a Mary bow as she is the one who showed me how to make it) is adhered to the center of the greeting label with a Glue Dot.
  • The inside sentiment from the Humming Along stamp set is stamped in Blueberry Bushel on a panel of Whisper White that has been cropped using the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies.  It is adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue.

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope  you like my card and find encouragement for inspiration from it.  Visit again soon.  Have a blessed day.  Some days you just want to give up and say what the heck!

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop “Celebrate Spring”

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop “Celebrate Spring”

Welcome everyone—it’s that time —  the second Tuesday of the month—that means it is time for our Inkin’ Krew monthly 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 March is “Celebrate Spring”!  Now on to the hop!  Enjoy!!

My card is created with the You’re Inspiring Stamp Set.  Since our theme is “Celebrate Spring” this stamp set is so appropriate being it has daffodils.

The design comes from Inspire Create Challenge #038 for this week.

 

The card base is Lemon Lime Twist card stock.  Lemon Lime Twist will probably be retired this year so I am trying to use it up before that time.  A panel of Bermuda Bay card stock has been embossed with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder and adhered to the card base with Liquid Glue.

The inspirations and design comes from  Inspire Create Challenge

Two mats have been cut for the focal panel which is cut from a panel of the Botanical Butterfly DSP, one is Lemon Lime Twist, the other Basic Black card stock.  They are all adhered together using Liquid   Glue. 

A Whisper White circle is cut using a Layering Circle Die and adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The daffodils are stamped on thick Whisper White card stock and colored using Pineapple Punch Light and Old Olive Light Stampin’ Blends. They are then popped onto the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Three pearls from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls set are scattered over the card front.  The greeting is stamped in Bermuda Bay on a scrap of Whisper White and matted with a scrap of Lemon Lime Twist card stock.
