Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature — Thinking Of You

June 26, 2024 admin Comments 10 comments

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature Stamp Set, along with Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies Stamp Set.

I am entering these challenges:

Addicted To Stamps & More — Theme this challenge Make Your Mark

Allsorts Challenge – Theme this challenge Blooms, Bees, and Butterflies

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #597 — Theme this challenge Anything Goes

Daisy Chain Challenge #86 — Theme this challenge Birthday

I started with a Misty Moonlight cardstock card base. I embossed a piece of Basic White card Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder. This pieces is adhere over the Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Three strips of Poetic Expressions Designer Series Paper are cut and matted on pieces of Misty Moonlight cardstock. The strips are adhered around the front of the card over the embossed panel.

On a piece of Basic White cardstock the flower image from Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature Stamp Set is stamped in Memento Black ink. A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies Stamp Set is stamped in the corner of the art piece in Memento Black ink. Using a Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends the greeting is colored over giving a bit of highlight. The flower image is colored using Balmy Blue, Boho Blue, and Granny Apple Green ink. The art piece is matted on a piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock, a white ribbon wrapped around the piece, then popped over the three strips using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Misty Moonlight gems from Tinsel Gems Three Pack are popped around the card front.

A butterfly from my large stash of butterflies that I die cut a while back is colored using Balmy Blue ink and a Blending Brush. Two Misty Moonlight gems from Tinsel Gems Three Pack are popped on the butterfly and the butterfly is then adhered to the corner of the art piece using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies Stamp Set is stamped in Memento Black ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. Two butterflies from the same stamp set are stamped in the lower right corner and colored using Balmy Blue and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends.

A Basic White envelope get a piece of Poetic Expressions Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia — Thinking Of You

June 21, 2024 admin Comments 8 comments

The card shared today is another one made using Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Stamp Set and Dies. With this stamp set being so versatile, there is no end to the different designs that can created with this stamp set. Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies Stamp Set and Layering Leaves Stamp Set are also used.

I am entering the following challenges.

Pammie’s Inky Pinkies Challenge

Creative Creases Challenge

Using Designer Series Paper as the card base cuts down on the weight of the card so extra postage hopefully will not be required.

A 5-1/2″ x 11″ piece of Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper is used for the card base.
Score the piece at 2″, 4″, 8″, and 10″.
Turn the piece to the long end. Measure down 2-3/4″ and make a mark. Do this on both side of the 12″ piece.
Place the piece in the track of your paper trimmer, lining up the mark and the first score line.
Cut at an angle from the score line to the mark. If you will click on this link, you can see Lisa Curcio‘s diagram of how to score and cut. Scroll down the page a bit and you will see the download for the diagram.
Using a flower and leaf stamp from Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Stamp Set, stamp three zinnias and three leaves in Smoky Slate ink on a piece of Basic White card stock.
Color the zinnias in Melon Mambo, Berry Burst, Daffodil Delight, and Highland Heather.
Color the leaves using Granny Apple Green, Garden Green, and Old Olive ink.
Die cut using dies from Simply Zinnia Dies.
Die cut a piece of Country Woods Designer Series Paper using the next to largest die from Perennial Postage Dies.
Arrange the zinnias and leaves on the Country Woods Designer Series Paper piece, once arranged to your liking, adhered to the piece using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Create a loopy bow from Linen Thread adhering to the card front using a Glue Dot.
Adhere the finished panel to the left side of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Stamp a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Stamp Set in Memento Black ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card base.

A Basic White envelope gets a piece of Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Thank you for stopping by today.
