Magnolia Lane

May 3, 2019 admin Comments 12 comments

A busy time at our house right now. It is the month of May and every weekend in May is full up with Graduation, Graduation, Wedding Showers, Graduation! Did I happen to say we are having Graduations? What does all that equal? Money!!!

My card is created using the Magnolia Lane DSP. It made a beautiful card but lots, and lots of fussy cutting. Wish there had been a die that fit the flowers I cut.

My sketch design is from the Paper Players.

Soft Sea Foam card stock is used as the card base. Next a panel of Mossy Meadow card stock is embossed using the Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder. This panel has Whisper White latticework from the Wonderful Romance stamp set in both directions — horizontal and vertical —

The flowers are fussy cut from a panel of Magnolia Lane DSP. I have adhered them to a Whisper White circle to make all the small pieces more stable before popping on the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Three Basic Adhesive Back Sequins are popped in various spots on the card front. The greeting stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on a scrap of Whisper White card stock and then cut out in the shape of the stamp.

The sentiment is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on a panel of Whisper White that has a strip of the Magnolia Lane DSP adhered to the left side that has been matted using Petal Pink card stock. The Whisper White panel has a Mossy Meadow panel.

Thanks for stopping by today! My hope is that you have a blessed day!

Best Birds

May 2, 2019 admin Comments 7 comments

My card is created using the Best Birds stamp set. I know it is retiring but I think I shall keep it for a while longer. Today is the day we can do pre-ordering from the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. I told someone I needed to start a GoFundMe page to cover all I want from that catalog. I believe it is the most amazing one I have seen in my 10+ years of having Stampin’ Up Catalogs. Maybe I will pull all my old catalogs out and line them up and take a look, but I know this one is surely the best looking and the best products inside. If you would like a catalog, contact me.

My sketch design is from Try Stampin on Tuesday.

The colors on this card do not show up very well. I used the same lighting as always but the colors look washed out to me. The flowers are Blushing Bride pink but here they look white. The card base is Soft Sea Foam card stock and the mat, embossed with the Seaside Embossing Folder which is soon to be retired is Blushing Bride card stock. The flower panel is from the new Bird Ballad DSP (available June 4). The doily is cut using the Doily Builder Thinlits soon to be retired also. It is adhered using Liquid Glue in various spots. The bird, flowers, and branch are from the Best Birds stamp set and is retiring June 4. It is stamped in Crumb Cake ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock and colored using Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen. A bow is made using Baker’s Twine and adhered using a Glue Dot. Rhinestone Basic Jewels are added to the center of each flower and three Adhesive Backed Sequins are popped in several spots on the card front. There is not an inside sentiment as this will be used to write a thank you note.

Thank you for stopping by today. Have a blessed day!

Butterfly Gala

April 30, 2019 admin Comments 4 comments

Have you ever had a day, where no matter how hard you are trying you just can’t seem to get a card created that is suitable? Well, that was me today! As you will see from my card, it is a simple easy as can be, but for some reason, I had a block and could not seem to make it work.

My design is from Sketch Saturday.

My card starts with a Tranquil Tide (Tranquil Tide will be retiring as of June 4) card base. Next is a Mosaic Mood DSP ( available June 4) mat that is cut to reveal a portion of the card base between the cuts.

Three squares are cut from Whisper White card stock to adhere the individual butterflies. A Tranquil Tide mat is cut for each. After the butterflies are popped on the squares the squares are then popped onto the card front. Rhinestone Basic Jewels are added to each butterfly. A greeting is stamped in Tranquil Tide ink on a scrap of Whisper White. Just one more thing to add to my day, I did not write down which stamp set the Hello is from so I can not remember. You can use any stamp set that has a hello stamp if you should choose to make this card.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Tranquil Tide ink on a panel of Whisper White. Three butterflies are adhered using Liquid Glue.

Thank you for stopping by. My wish is that you have a blessed day and find encouragement or inspiration for your own creations.

Mosiac Mood

April 26, 2019 admin Comments 6 comments

Don’t you think this rose is absolutely beautiful? Also the background paper (both will be available June 4 in the new 2019 catalog, if you would like one let me know). This Designer Series Paper is called Mosiac Mood. There is also a stamp set that goes with this DSP.

My sketch is from the Global Design Project challenge for this week.

And…. the WWC218- Marsha’s “All About Occasions” Challenge. These should be fun to do.

The paper looks as if it has been put together one tile at a time, just like a real Mosiac that you would create.

The card base is Garden Green with the Mosiac Mood panel next. Next comes the square panel that has been cut from Mint Macaron and embossed using the Subtle Embossing Folder.

The rose is fussy cut from a panel of the Mosiac Mood DSP and popped on the Mint Macaron panel (that has been cut using the Layering Square Framelits Dies) using Stampin’ Dimensionals same as the Mint Macaron panel being popped onto the green leaf Mosiac Mood panel and the green leaf panel popped onto the card base. The Happy Mother’s Day is stamped in Garden Green ink on a scrap of the Mint Macaron card stock and popped over the filigree strip from the Petals and More Thinlits Dies. Three sequins from the Basic Adhesive Backed Sequins are popped in various placed on the Mint Macaron panel.

The sentiment from the Well Said stamp set is stamped in Garden Green ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock. A butterfly and rose from the Mosiac Mood DSP is added to the panel using Liquid Glue.

Thanks for stopping by today! I am just a wee bit late in getting published today. I have been traveling all day and just a little while ago got settled to do this. I hope you like the card and can find encouragement or inspiration for your own creations. Have a great weekend. I think it is going to be a sunshiny one.

It’s Your Day

April 23, 2019 admin Comments 6 comments

I love this DSP and d that it is on the Retiring List. It is the beautiful Petal Promenade DSP. I can’t seem to stop making cards using it.

I have flowers so that makes it possible for me to play along with the challenge at Cute Card Thursday.

And… the Seize the Birthday.

The card base is Blackberry Bliss card stock. The mat and focal panel is half Whisper White card stock that has been embossed using the Pinewood Plank Embossing Folder and the other half is from the Petal Promenade DSP. The greeting is from the Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set.

Two of the flowers are stamped on Whisper White Thick card stock using Flirty Flamingo and Melon Mambo ink. First I stamped Flirty Flamingo and then stamped Melon Mambo over it to get the color you see. The other flower is stamped on a piece of photo paper. There was a package of photo paper in my recent purchase of an ink cartridge for my printer and I wondered what to do with it. When stamping these flowers, I thought wonder how it would look on the shiny photo paper. It turned out great, so here is the flower stamped in Fresh Fig ink.

The leaves are stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on Whisper White Thick card stock. The flowers and leaves were cut using the coordinating dies for the stamp set. After stamping and cutting out I popped them on the divider of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Three pearls from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls is scattered over the card front.

The sentiment is stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock using a stamp from the Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set.

Petal Promenade is added to an envelope flap to match the DSP on the card front.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you find encouragement and inspiration. Have a blessed day.
