Stampin’ Up! Positive Thoughts with Brilliant Wings

Happy summertime day in Georgia, which means hot, hot, hot. You can probably cook an egg on the sidewalk.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Positive Thoughts Stamp Set and the Brilliant Wings Dies along with the Ornate Layers Dies.

My inspiration is from the Allsorts Challenge — their theme is butterflies & bees.

I started with a card base of Just Jade card stock adding a panel of Basic White card stock which becomes the mat for the Butterfly Bijou DSP. These are all adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A panel of Basic White card stock is cropped using one of the Ornate Layers Dies. A greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Positive Thoughts Stamp Set is then stamped in Just Jade ink. The cropped panel is popped on the Butterfly Bijou DSP panel using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals after a strip of 2021-2023 Incolor Shimmer Vellum is adhered across the butterfly panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Mini Glue Dots.

A panel of Expressions in Ink DSP is cropped using a die from the Brilliant Wings Dies. The butterfly is popped on the Ornate panel using Mini Glue Dot.

A panel of Basic White card stock is trimmed using a strip of the Butterfly Bijou DSP and then a sentiment from a Stampin’ Up! Elegantly Said Stamp Set is stamped in Just Jade ink. The panel is then adhered to the card base.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the Butterfly Bijou DSP applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Positive Thoughts

I hope your weekend has been fantastic and the coming well will be as well.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Positive Thoughts Stamp Set and the True Love DSP.

Cardz For Galz is one of my challenges for today.

I always love Tic Tac Toe Challenges. For this one, I am choosing Flowers, Coloring, & Embossing.

The card base is Rococo Rose card stock with a panel of the same embossed using the Subtle Embossing Folder and then the panel is cropped using a die from the Curvy Dies, these dies will be retiring. A greeting from the Quiet Meadow Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on the corner of the card front.

Flowers from the True Love DSP are colored using Rococo Rose, Highland Heather, and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. An image from the Positive Thoughts stamp set is stamped in Granny Apple Green and Gorgeous Grape inks and fussy cut. These are used in the arrangement of flowers on the card front. Linen Thread is looped around a few times and tucked under the arrangement so it is showing. Pearl Basic Jewels are randomly placed around the card front.

One of the colored True Love DSP flowers is popped in the corner of the sentiment panel.

A Highland Heather envelope is used as the envelope for the card.

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden

Good Morning! Can you believe this is the last day of February and the last day of Sale-A-Bration. You need to get your last-minute order in before the time is gone. Have a great Sunday. Are you predicting March in come in like a lamb or a lion? Could be either according to your location.

My inspiration for the design is from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.

Today my card is created using the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set and the Positive Thoughts Stamp Set. The Butterfly Bijou DSP is also used.

Start with a Just Jade card stock card base. Crop a panel of Basic White card stock using the largest die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies. Stamp in greeting in Tuxedo Memento Black ink then adhere this panel to the card base. Cut the banner across the card from a panel of Butterfly Bijou DSP and for the mat cut a piece from the True Love DSP.

Stamp the flower image from the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set on the Basic White card stock square that has been cropped using a die from the Stitched Shapes Dies. Color the image using Rococo Rose and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. Mat on a square of Just Jade card stock. Pop one Elegant Faceted Gem on the card front.

Butterflies are fussy cut from a panel of the Butterfly Bijou DSP and adhered at the top and bottom of the Basic White sentiment panel.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the Butterfly Bijou DSP applied to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Positive Thoughts

Happy Day! Can you believe it is already Thursday, it seems like we were just there!

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Positive Thoughts Stamp Set.

Inspiration for the design comes from the Fusion Challenge. I did both, although my Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Grape ink does not look like this purple.

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Smoky Slate card stock with a Stampin’ Up! Basic Black mat for the art piece. I realize as I am typing this and went to the catalog to get the name of the embossing folder that it is retired not current, but any embossing folder you like could be used to emboss the Smoky Slate panel for the art piece.

The Stampin’ Up! Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder would be a nice one as a background for the leafy branch and butterflies.

Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder

[149643]

$10.00

To create the three strips at the right of the card, I started with a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock, the Gorgeous Grape ink, and a Water Painter. Swiping the ink pad on a piece of aluminum foil, water was added from the Water Painter, then using the Water Painter the ink was brushed and swiped on the card stock. Not liking how the panel looked, I laid it in the puddle of ink and held it up to let the ink run down the panel. I know I should have taken a picture of the panel before cutting it into the strips.

The leafy branch was stamped in Stampin’ Up! Granny Apple Green ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock, then cropped using the Stampin’ Up! Nature Dies. The butterflies were cropped from the Gorgeous Grape panel and popped around the leafy branch. Stampin’ Up! Pearl Basic Jewels colored using the Gorgeous Grape ink were popped on each butterfly.

The sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers is stamped in Smoky Slate ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock. Two of the watercolor strips are added to the panel. Your card is finished.

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.
