Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful Stamp Set

Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful

Make it a great day!

The card I am sharing today is from the Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful Stamp Set. You can see it is bright and cheery.

My inspiration for this card comes from the Cupcake Inspiration #506

I should look for a challenge that is layers, as I have so many, but it just did not look right to me otherwise. I started with a Stampin’ Up! Bumblebee card stock base added a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock layer, another Bumblebee card stock layer, a Stampin’ Up! Real Red card stock layer, and finally the art piece stamped on Whisper White card stock. All the layers have been cropped using Stampin’ Up! Stitched Rectangle Dies.

The tree image is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake ink, the birdhouse is Stampin’ Up! Real Red ink. The leaves are Stampin’ Up! Bumblebee ink and the pumpkin is Stampin’ Up! Pumpkin Pie ink. The greeting in Stampin’ Up! Early Espresso ink. I am hoping these browns are considered neutral.

The jewels are from Stampin’ Up! Rhinestone Basic Jewels that I colored using a Stampin’ Up! Dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends marker. I adhered one jewel to the greeting and the other two are randomly placed.

The greeting is from Stampin’ Up! Autumn Goodness Stamp Set and is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Early Espresso ink onto a scrap that was left from the crop of the art piece layer. I had a scrap piece of ribbon, the name and color I do not know as I colored the ribbon using a Dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends marker.

The sentiment is from the Autumn Goodness Stamp Set and is stamped in Early Espresso ink. The shock of corn stalks is stamped in the same ink and from the same stamp set. It is colored using a Light So Saffron Stampin’ Blends marker, there is not a Bumblebee Stampin’ Blends.

A Stampin’ Up! Medium Whisper White envelope gets a layer of DSP from the Stampin’ Up! Dandy Garden DSP (available January 5, 2021).

Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful

October 5, 2020 admin

Happy Monday everyone! Was your weekend everything you wanted it to be? Fun, tiring, exciting? May your Monday be Monday and your workweek starts the beginning of a fabulous week.

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful Stamp Set and Positive Thoughts Stamp Set, Whale of A Time Designer Series Paper (DSP), and the Subtle Embossing Folder. This is going to be a birthday card for my youngest sister, the happy birthday is missing inside. I want to handwrite it in huge letters when I send it to her.

My challenge for the day is with Watercooler Wednesday Anything Goes.

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock with a panel of Whisper White that has been watercolored with splashes of Stampin’ Up! Pool Party and Garden Green ink and a Stampin’ Up! Water Painter. After letting dry, the tree from Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful Stamp Set is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake ink. Then the panel is embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.

A panel of Stampin’ Up! Whale of A Time DSP is adhered to the middle of the embossed panel over the stamped tree, a tree is then stamped in Crumb Cake ink on the panel matching up the branches that can be seen on each side of the Whale Of A Time DSP panel. The birdhouse is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Real Red ink. The three leaves on the ground at the tree base are Stampin’ Up! Pumpkin Pie ink. A double piece of Stampin’ Up! Braided Trim is tied in a knot and popped on the tree.

The greeting from Stampin’ Up! Positive Thoughts Stamp Set is stamped in Crumb Cake ink on a scrap of Whisper White card stock and trimmed to be three pieces so they can be positioned on the tree the way you see.

The sentiment from Life Is Beautiful and Positive Thoughts Stamp Set is stamped on a panel of Whisper White card stock using Crumb Cake ink. The panel has been color washed using Pool Party and Garden Green inks. The trees are stamped in Crumb Cake ink.

Stampin’ Up! Whale Of A Time

October 4, 2020 admin

Happy Sunday everyone! Are you having a nice weekend enjoying the cool fall air? Our team had a great time on Saturday celebrating World Card Making Day! Our team leaders did a fantastic job of organizing the event and getting other demonstrators to present. The entire team did such a fantastic job. If you joined us, you know what I am talking about. If you couldn’t make it this year, maybe you can next but I believe the videos are available for a few days so you can watch them.

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful Stamp Set, Positive Thoughts Stamp Set, Peaceful Moments Stamp Set and the Seabed 3D Embossing Folder.

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Pool Party card stock with a mat that has been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Seabed 3D Embossing Folder. When you want an embossed panel on the front, it is much easier to emboss a separate panel of card stock or it is for me. I was always messing up the front of the card when I embossed and Amy Koenders told her Inkin’ Krew this tip and it works wonders. Mary Deatherage reminded us again about this easy method today during our World Card Making Day event.

Cut a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whale Of A Time DSP and slice it horizontally at an angle. This gives you the design for the front of the card and is from the Inspire, Create Challenge. After you adhere the DSP to the embossed panel, mat this panel using Stampin’ Up! Granny Apple Green cardstock. Adhere your ribbon across the two sections of the card front. Lastly, adhere your focal panel to the Pool Party card base.

My inspiration comes from the Inspire, Create Challenge.

And…

Craftyhazelnut’s Pattern Paper Challenge. I am using Stampin’ Up! Whale Of A Time Designer Series Paper (DSP)

The sentiment from the following Stampin’ Up! Stamp Sets Life Is Beautiful, Sending Sunshine, and Peaceful Moment is stamped in Night of Navy ink on a panel of Pool Party card stock. Several of the turtles have been fussy cut and adhered to the panel. The panel is then matted on a panel of Granny Apple Green card stock and adhered to the card base.

As soon as envelopes from Stampin’ Up! arrive an envelope flap will have a panel of the Whale Of A Time DSP adhered so my card can be on its way to the person intended.
