Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Bough Dies – Stampin with Shirley G

Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tropical Sneak Peak

December 31, 2019 admin

Welcome! Can you believe this is the last day of the decade and a new decade — the 20s starts tomorrow? Do you think this decade of the 20s will be as wild as the previous one or even wilder?

The card today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tropical Stamp Set, the Stampin’ Up! Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper, the Stampin’ Up! Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder (all are available January 3) and the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Boughs Dies from the Holiday Catalog.

My design inspiration comes from the Just Add Ink Challenge.

You can see that my card matches the design so well. The card base is Stampin’ Up! Pear Pizzazz card stock as is the middle portion of the layout that has been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder.

The two outside panels are two different panels from the Stampin’ Up! Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper. The focal panels have been matted on a Stampin’ Up! Real Red and Daffodil Delight card stock mats.

The flowers were fussy cut from a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper and popped over the Stampin’ Up! Garden Green leaves that were cropped using the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Bough Dies. The greeting was stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a scrap of Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Delight card stock and matted on a scrap of Stampin’ Up! Real Red card stock. Both have been fussy cut the shape of the stamp the greeting is on. Stampin’ Up! Linen Thread is wrapped behind the greeting several times and adhered with a Stampin’ Up! Glue Dot.

The sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tropical Stamp Set and is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink. The palm tree is from the Timeless Tropical Stamp Set and is also stamped in Stampin’ Up! Pear Pizzazz ink.

In finishing my card, I gave the Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Tropical Oasis DSP.

Stampin’ Up! Paper Pumpkin Alternative

December 13, 2019 admin

Welcome, here it is the eve of the weekend again and it seems it was just here. Do you have your Christmas shopping finished? Have all your cards finished and mailed? 🙂

The cards I am sharing today are created using parts of the November Paper Pumpkin. I had not ordered the December Paper Pumpkin because it was to make tags for Christmas presents, but after I saw some of the cards made using the parts, here I was wishing I had ordered. Well, things worked out where we were allowed to order the November Paper Pumpkin even if we had not previously ordered, I was delighted.

The challenge I am entering is Make My Monday Challenge – Anything Christmas

On this card, I used Stampin’ Up! Shaded Spruce card stock as the card base with a panel of Stampin’ Up! Wrapped In Plaid Specialty Designer Paper matted on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Basic Black card stock as the background panel.

A sled from the November Paper Pumpkin is used as a background for the Stampin’ Up! Gold Foil Sheets deer. A few pieces of greenery cropped using the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Bough Dies is tucked under the sled edge. The cord, sequins, greeting and the snowflake are from the November Paper Pumpkin.

Using other elements from Paper Pumpkin — the deer, the snowy tree, the sequins, and the greeting, also the bow around the deer’s neck. The greenery is from the Beautiful Bough Dies.

I have more cards to make, but this is three with the deer that are finished. I think they turned out well.

These three are made using the snowflakes from the Paper Pumpkin, plus the Stampin’ Up! Scripty 3D Embossing Folder.

Two made using the red birds. I believe there are 15 cards remaining to be made from this kit using all the elements that were for tag making.
