Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts with Brilliant Wings

Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts with Brilliant Wings

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Brilliant Wings Dies and Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set.  This is the type card you never want to send but need to have a few on hand just in case there is an occasion where you need one.

I am entering the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.

I started with a Basic White card stock card base with a panel of Basic White card stock cropped using the largest Deckled Rectangle Dies then embossed using the Painted Posies 3D Embossing Folder.  

A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink in the upper left corner of the embossed panel.  Three strips of Textured Chic Designer Series Paper are adhered across the bottom of the embossed panel and the panel is then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  A butterfly is cropped from Basic White card stock using a die from Brilliant Wings Dies.  The butterfly is colored using a Blending Brush and Pool Party ink.  It is brushed lightly to give just a faint tint.  The wings are then pressed against the Versa Mark ink pad and Gold Embossing Powder is sprinkled on the butterfly and heat embossed using a heat tool.  It is then popped over the three strips using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A panel of Basic White card stock is cropped using the largest of the Deckled Rectangle Dies, the panel is then embossed using the Painted Posie 3D Embossing Folder.  A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink onto the panel.

 

A Basic White envelope gets the flap embossed using the Painted Posies 3D Embossing Folder.

Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer Happy Birthday

Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer Happy Birthday

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Summer Shadow Dies and the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts stamp set along with the Bough Punch, Stampin’ Up! Brilliant Wings Dies, and Tea Boutique DSP.  I remember some DSP that we had at one time can’t remember which year and since I thought it would look very well with this card design, I created a panel of it.  You can see below how I did it.

My challenge today is with the Seize the Birthday Anything Goes –  today it has an option Butterflies or Hummingbirds.

Since my card is a fun fold I am also entering the Creative Creases Challenge.

To create the panel of stripe SSP (Shirley’s Special Paper) I used Washi Tape to create the stripes.  I used a Blending Brush and the Sweet Sorbet ink from the stamp pad to color the stripes.  When I pulled the Washi Tape off the panel, it left uneven places in the stripes just like the original DSP.  My card is a CAS of one I made years ago from a stamp set that had a similar flower and if  I remember correctly the DSP was a black background.  I think it was before blogging days.

My card is a fun fold. I like fun fold cards. I started with a card base of Sweet Sorbet card stock.  This is one of the new 2022-2024 In Colors.  The card base is 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″.  It is scored at 4-1/4″ and the left side is scored at 2-1/8″ also.

This is how my card looks opened out flat. The Tea Boutique DSP is adhered to the 1st panel after being matted on a Basic White card stock mat.  I probably should have added a panel of DSP to the 2nd panel, but I didn’t.  The inside panel has a panel of Basic White card stock adhered to the card base then my stripe piece is adhered over it.  The sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on the Basic White side of the panel.

Leaves are punched using the Bough punch, the butterfly is cropped from 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer Paper.  I cropped it from one of the lightest blues and then used a Blending Brush and Parakeet Party ink to color over it as the Parakeet Party was too bright. Part of the flower was cropped from Basic White card stock and colored using a Blending Brush and Sweet Sorbet ink.  The frame of the flower was cropped from a piece of Sweet Sorbet card stock.  All of these elements are arranged over two labels cropped from Basic White and Sweet Sorbet card stock.

The greeting label is cropped from Basic White card stock using the next to smallest die from Stitched Rectangle Dies.  It is adhered over the Sweet Sorbet and Basic White labels and the flowers, leaves, and a butterfly are arranged around the labels.  I do not think the glimmer of the butterfly shows up in the photo.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Tea Boutique DSP applied to the envelope flap.

If you would like to create this card all the products used are in the post instead of at the end of the post as they usually are.

Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Friendship

Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Friendship

Happy Thursday!  Have a good day.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Friendship Stamp Set and the Inspired Thoughts for the inside sentiment.

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge is the inspiration for this design today.

I started with a card base of Basic White card stock with a panel of the same embossed using the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder. 

Four strips of Basic White card stock are cut and colored using Blending Brushes and Misty Moonlight and Soft Succulent ink.  Using a Water Painter, water is flicked over each strip and drying using a heat tool.  The panels are then adhered over the embossed panel.

A tree from the Beauty of Friendship Stamp Set is stamped in Soft Succulent ink for the tree and Soft Suede ink for the tree trunk.  It is cropped and popped over the narrow panel using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  This panel is then adhered to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  A greeting is cropped using a card from the Hand Penned Memories & More Card Pack.  Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels are scattered around the card front.

The inside sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set.  It is stamped in Soft Succulent ink on the Basic White card stock panel.  A  tree is stamped using Soft Succulent and Crumb Cake ink.

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