Stampin’ Up! Pretty Birds

September 29, 2022 custom

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Pretty Birds Stamp Set and Birdhouse Dies. This is a beautiful card. My card is a CAS of one of my team members Karen Hickam Ilsley

It took me all day to figure out how to create it but I finally was happy on the fourth try of what I created. There are a few things Karen has that I did not even notice until I looked at her card again when I started to post this.

My card base is Basic White card stock and Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper as the background. The bird cages are Coastal Cabana card stock. I used Silver Foil to crop the bird swings, also I used the negative portion of the bird swing as the mirror. I used a piece of window sheet to adhere the bird cages too. Flowers from Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper are fussy cut and adhered to the card front. One of the birds is popped over one bunch of flowers.

The birds are colored using Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide,Crumb Cake, Pale Papaya,and Fresh Freesa Stampin’ Blends Markers. The birds are then cropped and popped on the card front.

I am entering the Tic, Tac Toe Challenge. I choose Leaves, Fun Fold, and Ink Blending.

This is how the card looks when folded. This is one of those cards you make for your own pleasure, not give to someone. I am sure any person receiving it would consider it a real treasure. I, also, did not put a greeting or sentiment on the card as it isn’t going to anyone.

I prepared no envelope with Designer Series Paper as this card will not be given to anyone.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you took the time to linger and look at my other blog post and cards and that you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day. My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself. Feel free to CAS(E) any card. Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me. Have a blessed day!

Stampin’ Up! Wonderful World Hello Card

August 30, 2022 custom

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Wonderful World Designer Series Paper. Today is the last day you can get this for free with a qualifying order. If you love beautiful cards you do not want to miss getting this Designer Series Paper. You can create many beauties using it.

I am entering the Creative Creases Challenge again as it is always a Fun Fold Challenge.

My card again is a CAS of one Lisa Curcio made. Instead of me trying to give instructions for creating you can get better instructions from Lisa’s video. This is called a gatefold accordion fold. My card base is Mossy Meadow card stock with mats of Basic White card stock. I fussy cut flowers from a panel of the Wonderful World Designer Series Paper and popped them on the pink panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I also popped Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

This is the way the card looks when it is closed.

I put a panel on the back of the card for a note or sentiment.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Wonderful World Designer Series Paper applied to the envelope flap .

Stampin’ Up! By My Side Sweet Friend Card

August 27, 2022 custom

The card I am sharing today is a fun fold. I used the August Paper Pumpkin stamp set and the Stampin’ Up! By My Side stamp set.

I am entering the Cardz 4 Galz Challenge for today. Their theme is Anything Goes.

My card is a case of Lisa Curico’s Angled Tri-Fold. Click on her name and it will take you to her video showing how the card is made. I started with a Mossy Meadow card stock card base. I used two envelopes from the August Paper Pumpkin Sweet Sunflowers as my Designer Series Paper.

I used the sunflower stamp from the August Paper Pumpkin Sweet Sunflowers to create my sunflowers. I first stamped them using Stazon Ink. I let it dry well before water coloring using Blackberry Bliss ink and a Water Painter. I stamped the leaves in Mossy Meadow ink and then colored using a Granny Apple Green and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Marker. The sunflowers centers are stamped using So Saffron ink.

This is the first fold open. This sentiment comes from the Stampin’ Up! By My Side stamp set. It is stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink.

I stamped the twigs on the edge of the Basic White card stock panel in Mossy Meadow and Blackberry Bliss ink. I then adhered the flap of an envelope from one of the envelopes in the August Paper Pumpkin Sweet Sunflowers. The sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! By My Side stamp set.

A medium Basic White envelope gets twigs stamped in Mossy Meadow ink to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Wonderful World Thinking of You

August 22, 2022 custom

I am using Stampin’ Up! Wonderful World Designer Series Paper again today to share with you. This beautiful paper retires in just eight days so I want to make the most of it. It comes with a stamp set and the two are free with a qualifying order through August 31.

I am entering the Try Stampin’ On Tuesday Challenge for today. I am doing the sketch portion of the challenge.

I am also entering the Can You Handle The Pressure Challenge. Their theme is always Anything Goes but sometimes with an optional twist. This optional twist is a Pet/Dog/Cat.

I started with an Orchid Oasis card stock card base. I cut a panel of Wonderful World Designer Series Paper and adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut a panel of Orchid Oasis and Basic White card stock, embossing both using the Timetorn Type 3D Embossing Folder.

A piece of Basic White card stock is cropped using a die from the Scalloped Contour Dies and adhered to the Orchid Oasis card stock panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The two panels are placed at angles over the Wonderful World Designer Series Paper using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A flower is fussy cut from a panel of the Wonderful World Designer Series Paper and popped on the Basic White embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulip stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock, fussy cut, and popped on the corner of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels are added to the card front.

A panel of Basic White card stock gets Wonderful World Designer Series Paper added to each side of the panel and a sentiment is added to the middle of the panel.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Wonderful World Designer Series Paper applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
