Stampin’ Up! See A Silhouette
This was a fun card to make. Thanks to Debbie Mageed for making it. I rarely make cards that have yellows, golds and orange colors but mine turned out rather nice. Hers is beautiful, you can see it here. I saw her card on the Alphabet Challenge and right away knew I had some DSP I needed to use up.
My challenges are two for today.
And... Stamping Sensations –Flowers 
The card starts out with a regular card base in Stampin’ Up! Calypso Coral card stock. It gives you the normal place on the inside to adhere a Whisper White card stock panel for a sentiment and forms the base to prop up the double easel.
For the easel portion, I used a 4″ x 10 1/4″ piece of Stampin’ Up! Poppy Parade card stock and scored it at 2-1/2” and at 5”. The first score line (2-1/2”) is folded as a valley and the second one (5”) as a mountain. Burnish both folds well so the card will be easier to lay flat
I cut three pieces of Stampin’ Up! See A Silhouette Designer Series Paper (DSP) and adhered them to the Poppy Parade card stock easel portion of the card with Liquid Glue.
Using one of the flower stamps from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Promenade Stamp Set, I stamped three flowers in Versa Mark ink on Stampin’ Up! Poppy Parade, So Saffron, and Calypso Coral card stock sprinkled Stampin’ Up! White Embossing Powder on each and heat set with the heat tool. Using the leaf stamp, I did the same on Stampin’ Up! Pear Pizzazz card stock. The two leaves that are Whisper White with Pear Pizzazz are leaves I had in my extras box. The flowers and leaves were popped on the portion of the easel panel that forms the front panel using Stampin’ Up! Glue Dots and Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I cut two large medallions from Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock using the medallion die from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Layers Dies. I adhered them together in spots using Multipurpose Liquid Glue then popped it on the card front using Glue Dots. The greeting “Happy Day” from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Stamp Set is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Poppy Parade ink on a scrap of Whisper White card stock, I then fussy cut it out and adhered to the middle of the medallion using Multipurpose Glue.
The sentiment on the fold of the easel is stamped in Poppy Parade ink on the label that has been cut using one of the dies from the Stampin’ Up! Petal Labels Dies.
The sentiment is stamped in Poppy Parade ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock using sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthday Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles Stamp Set. A flower that has been fussy cut is adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
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.

I realize, but this will have to be the correction, that my card base is not Mango Melody but Calypso Coral. I used the wrong (I don’t guess you could say wrong) but a different color base than I intended, so all Mango Melody is Calypso Coral card stock.
My card for today is from Stampin’ Up! Path of Petals Stamp Set. It receives a bit of help from Stampin Up! Waterfront Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Colorful Seasons Stamp Set. To me, this is not my usual card style, design or whatever you want to call it.
A greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Colorful Seasons Stamp Set is stamped on a scrap of Stampin’ Up! Pear Pizzazz card stock flagged at each end and popped onto a banner created using Stampin’ Up! Soft Seafoam card stock.
The inside sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Path of Petals Stamp Set and is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock that is matted on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Pear Pizzazz card stock then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Happy Labor Day weekend all! Not to happy for the people in Florida prayers and thoughts are with them and all the people caught up in the horrible weather. Maybe it will just turn and blow its self out to sea.
The art panel is a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock and one of the flower images from the Stampin’ Up! Bloom and Grow Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink. A circle is then cropped from the panel using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Shapes Dies. I realize now that it would have been much easier to color if I had colored and then cut. 
I colored the flowers using Stampin’ Up! Classic Stampin’ Pads in Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleberry, Rocco Rose, Smoky Slate and a Stampin’ Up! Blender Pen. It is amazing the color you can create using a Blender Pen. The hearts are cropped using Stampin’ Up! Stitched Label Dies. They are cropped in Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleberry, Rococo Rose, Blushing Bride, and Smokey Slate. A small spot was embossed on the card front under the hearts using one of the dies from the Stitched Label Dies.
The greeting stamped on the circle is from the Stampin’ Up! Strong and Beautiful Stamp Set and is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink. Three pearls from the Stampin’ Up! Pearl Basic Jewels are placed on the circle also. The bow is made using Stampin’ Up! Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon and popped on the card front using Stampin’ Up! Glue Dots.
The inside sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Strong and Beautiful Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set and is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink. The flowers are from the Stampin’ Up! Bloom and Grow Stamp Set and are colored using Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Pencils in Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo, and Flirty Flamingo to get the color of pink I wanted. Once again, I used a Blender Pen to smooth the colors.
Happy Friday everyone, many have a three day weekend and I am sure you are planning a fun time since there is an extra day. This weekend is like the official end of summer and everyone is thinking of the long usually school year ahead. I know many schools do not start until the day after Labor Day, as it should be. Children do not need to go to school in the hot of summer. I think the school system here started the last week of July. That is much too early. The school I worked at for 9 years starts the day after Labor Day. That’s enough lamenting about the school systems. Have a glorious weekend as you relax and have fun with family and friends.
The card I am sharing today is one I haven’t used before, I’ve picked it up, looked at it and put it back on the shelf, so I thought it was time to give it a try. It is the Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles Stamp Set. I have seen so many pretty cards made using it.
My card starts with a Stampin’ Up! Sahara Sand card stock base. Next up is a Stampin’ Up! Pretty Peacock card stock mat for the focal panel which is a panel of Stampin’ Up! Woven Threads Designer Series Paper cropped using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Rectangle Dies. These are adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
The Woven Threads DSP panel being the focal panel is stamped using Stampin’ Up! Pretty Peacock ink and the Stamping’ Up! Very Versailles Stamp Set. Once stamped, a circle die from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Shapes Dies is used to cut a circle from the panel. This circle will be added back to the opening using Stampin’ Up! Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals once the 1″ strip of the Woven Threads DSP is partially adhered over the opening of the circle.
A bow is made using Stampin’ Up! Linen Thread. It is adhered using a Stampin’ Up! Mini Glue Dot. A single butterfly to give just a pop of color to the card is punch from a scrap of the Woven Threads DSP and popped on the circle using a Glue Dot.
The greeting is added in the left corner of the panel using Stampin’ Up! Sahara Sand ink and a stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Around The Corner Stamp Set. I like this stamp set and have cut other stamps apart to achieve the same effect as this stamp set gives. I store these stamps along with this set so I will know where they are when needed for a card. Three Adhesive Backed Sequins are placed randomly around the card front.
The inside sentiment panel is Stampin’ Up! Very Vanilla card stock matted on a panel of the Pretty Peacock card stock and stamped with stamps from the Very Versaille Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock ink.
The envelope flap has been given a panel of the Woven Threads DSP. It coordinates with the strip on the card front.
