Stampin’ Up! A Good Man stamp set – Stampin with Shirley G

Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home Thinking of You Card

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home Stamp Set. I know I could have used dies to cut the lighthouse and sailboats but I fussy cut them. I also used Stampin’ Up! A Good Man and On The Horizon. I love, love this DSP. It makes for such easy, simple cards.

I am entering this challenge again, as I have another fun fold card for today.

Also, the Stampin’ Up! Only Challenge. The color of the flowers on the mantle and the nautical picture on the wall or that is what it looks like to me, are my inspiration.

The card base is Basic White card stock cut at 5-1/2″ x 10″. I do not know if there is a bridge fold that size but I want a larger one than the ones I have made before. This one is the bridge fold without the bridge. Score at 1/1/2″ and 3″ on both ends of the card stock. I find it easier to score that way.

Cut eight mats 1-3/8″ x 5-1/4″ from Blackberry Bliss card stock. Cut two pieces 3-3/4″ x 5-1/4″. This is the mat for the middle piece on front and back of the card.

Cut four pieces of the New Horizon DSP 1-1/4″ x 5-1/8″ from the design I have on the card front and four pieces from the panel of DSP I used on the back of the card. Cut one piece 3-3/8″ x 5-1/8″ for the middle panel. Stamp a greeting from the On The Horizon stamp set in Night of Navy ink.

Stamp birds in Night of Navy ink on all the panels, I used the stamps from Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home and Stampin’ Up! On The Horizon stamp sets. Cut a piece of Basic White card stock 3-3/8″ x 5-1/8″ for the sentiment panel on the card back. Stamp a sentiment in Night of Navy ink using a stamp from On the Horizon stamp Set. Adhere all the Blackberry Bliss panels and the DSP together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, then adhere to the card base.

Stamp an image from Stampin’ Up! A Good Man stamp set, stamp the lighthouse from the Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home stamp set in Night of Navy ink, stamp one of the sailboats in Blackberry Bliss, the other in Night of Navy ink. Using watercolor pencils and a Blender Pen color the man and sailboats. Using a Blending Brush and Night of Navy ink color the lighthouse. Fussy cut all images once colored and pop on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensonials and Mini Glue Dots. To get the color I wanted for the man’s shirt, I used several different colors of watercolor pencils to achieve this color.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of New Horizon DSP applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! A Good Man

Wherever you live, I hope your Saturday was one of sunshine and fun, not gray skies and rain, rain, rain. I feel for the people who have to work outside even if it is raining. We need to thank them for their work.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! A Good Man Stamp Set along with the Mountain Air Stamp Set. One of the sentiments is from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set. The others are from the A Good Man Stamp Set.

The challenge over at the Creative Creases Challenge is fun fold cards. They are always fun to create.

The challenge over at The Sisterhood of Crafters has a theme for their current challenge of Water – Water – Water. Since my card has water in it, I thought I should enter.

This is a screen fold card, so start with a panel of Seaside Spray card stock cut 5-1/2″ x 11″. Score the panel at 2-3/4″ 5-1/2″ and 8-1/4″ Fold the card and burnish really well. This is the way it should look once folded. Using a label punch of your choice, punch the card at the bottom to create feet so the card will stand. Punch the first two at the same time, then use the punched panel as a guide for punch the other two panels.

Cut four Night of Navy card stock mats 2-1/2″ x 4-7/8″. Stamp your artwork from Stampin’ Up! Mountain Air Stamp Set using Smoky Slate for the mountains. Stamp the mountains using full-strength ink, then will be like stamping off once time. Move your stamp up a little and stamp again. This will give you a faint shadow behind the mountains. Continue across the 5-3/8 x 11″ panel until you have mountains across the entire panel. Next stamp the trees using Garden Green ink. I masked the bottom of this stamp so it would not show up on the panel. You can use a piece of Washy Tape for this masking. Next stamp the waves image from the High Tide Stamp Set in Seaside Spray on the two middle panels. Using a Blending Brush and Seaside Spray ink color the sky and the bottom portion over the waves. Also two panels are colored with no waves. Use Crumb Cake ink to create the sand.

Stamp in Tuxedo Memento Black ink the man in the chair image that comes with the A Good Man Stamp Set. Let the image dry well, after drying, color using Stampin’ Blends Markers in Highland Heather, Crumb Cake, and Seaside Spray ink. Fussy cut the man and pop on the front panel using Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.

You can see that this card will fit a regular size envelope. As the card when folded is narrow, you may want to add a panel of card stock to the envelope to even the card out.

If you would like to create this card all the products used and the card cuts are at the end of this post.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope 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. Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me. Have a blessed day!

Stampin’ Up! Mountain Air with A Good Man

March 27, 2020 admin

Good Morning everyone! We’ve made it another day, so we must have stayed safe yesterday.

My card today is a combination of Stampin’ Up! Mountain Air and A Good Man. It makes for a great card.

Here are my challenges for the day. Addicted To Stamps And More — Theme Make Your Mark.

Watercooler Wednesday –Helen’s Challenge: All About Occasions — my second entry for the week —

Word Art Wednesday –Anything Goes

Start with a Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy card stock base with a panel of the same embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Hammered Metal Embossing Folder. Wrap a length of Stampin’ Up! Braided Linen Trim around the embossed panel and adhered on the back.

Using a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock panel as the base to build your art piece, stamp the dock first using Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake Classic Ink. Color using a Stampin’ Up! Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Marker. Color the bird red using a Stampin’ Up Light Real Red Stampin’ Blends Marker. Stamp the dock on a piece of masking paper and fussy cut, then adhered to the dock image.

Stamp the mountain image from the Stampin’ Up! Mountain Air Stamp Set using Stampin’ Up! Smoky Slate Classic Ink. Stamp off once before stamping on the panel. Next stamp the water from the Stampin’ Up! High Tide Stamp Set in Stampin’ Up! Seaside Spray Classic Ink. Stamp the dirt using the sand/dirt image from the High Tide Stamp Set. Stamp the grass image from the Stampin’ Up! By The Dock Stamp Set in Stampin’ Up! Granny Apple Green Classic Ink.

Stamp the man and child image from the Stampin’ Up! A Good Man using Tuxedo Memento Black Ink. Let it dry well as it takes the darker inks a few minutes to dry. You can speed the process by using your heat tool. Color them using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blends Markers in Light Call Me Clover, Light & Dark Crumb Cake, Light Flirty Flamingo, Dark Balmy Blue, Dark Daffodil Delight, and Light Petal Pink. Using Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Twine in Crumb Cake loop and braid a length of the twine through an anchor from the Stampin’ Up! Sail Away Trinkets.

Stampin’ Up! A Good Man

June 8, 2019 admin

Thank you to all the people who follow my blog. I truly appreciate you!

My card today is created using the Stampin’ Up! A Good Man stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Waterfront stamp set. Waterfront is a stamp set I have had for a long, long time, but today is the first use. I have others that hopefully, I will get to before they retire in June 2020.

I am playing along at these challenges today. My first list is Hand Stamped Sentiments #316 My card is a bit different than all the flowers and I sure hope I was not supposed to include them. I did do all the colors that’s where the inspiration for the sky, moon, palm tree that is small I know, and the ocean. If I am disqualified then I will just play again another day.

And… Always Fun Challenges…

And… the Crafty Catz Challenge

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Bushel card stock. The card base is embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Seaside TIEF, which I must have overlooked as retired when I pulled retired products. Did not realize it until I started writing this. My card is a sweet little card with a dad and his little girl looking out at the ocean one last time for the day. She has her sleepy head on his shoulder as dad looks at palm trees in the distance. Doesn’t it make you yearn for the beach?

The art piece is Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Paper. I have used Stampin’ Up! Balmy Blue, Seaside Spray, Highland Heather, Mossy Meadow inks to create the sky and the ocean. Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake ink was used for the sand. The distant palm tree is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow and Crumb Cake inks. The moon was stamped in Stampin’ Up! So Saffron ink using the moon from the Stampin’ Up! Waterfront stamp set. The art piece has a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock mat.

The inside sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! A Good Man stamp set and the Well Said stamp set

In finishing my card I decorated a Whisper White Envelope so it will coordinate with the ocean theme of the card. I gave the envelope flap a panel from the Stampin’ Up! Come Sail Away DSP.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and my wish is that your day be blessed.
