Stampin’ Up! Waterfront stamp set – Stampin with Shirley G

Stampin’ Up! Path of Petals

September 1, 2019 admin

Happy Sunday! I hope you are having a fabulous day and you can add one more day to your weekend. Many can not and we thank them! Can you believe it is already September 1, 2019? Time for a whole new plan to begin!

My card for today is from Stampin’ Up! Path of Petals Stamp Set. It receives a bit of help from Stampin Up! Waterfront Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Colorful Seasons Stamp Set. To me, this is not my usual card style, design or whatever you want to call it.

My challenge is with Freshly Made Sketches 400 and they have a great sketch for this challenge. I hope to see your post there. Happy 400th Sketch Celebration!

My card base is Stampin’ Up! Basic Black card stock with a Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals background for the art piece. The art piece is matted with a panel of Basic Black card stock also.

The art panel is Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock and an image from the Stampin’ Up! Path of Petals is stamped on it using Stampin’ Up! Classic Stamp Pads in Pear Pizzazz, So Saffron, and Highland Heather. The speckles are from a stamp in the Stampin’ Up! Waterfront Stamp Set and are stamped on the panel so it will not look so stark.

Adhesive Back Sequins are placed randomly on the art piece and a pearl from the Stampin’ Up! Pearl Basic Jewels are popped in the center of each along with pearls being popped in the center of two of the flowers.

A greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Colorful Seasons Stamp Set is stamped on a scrap of Stampin’ Up! Pear Pizzazz card stock flagged at each end and popped onto a banner created using Stampin’ Up! Soft Seafoam card stock.

The inside sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Path of Petals Stamp Set and is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock that is matted on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Pear Pizzazz card stock then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish, I stamped an image from the Path of Petals stamp sent on the envelope flap in Pear Pizzazz ink.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day. My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself.

Stampin’ Up! Let It Ride with Waterfront

July 26, 2019 admin

The card I am sharing today, makes me think of Cumberland Island and the horses there. Since it is the weekend going to Cumberland would be a nice trip, but then you have to have a reservation for that expedition to Cumberland Island. If you have never visited Cumberland Island it is a great day trip, tho’ some people camp there. My son stayed a week when he was in college, but day trips are enough for me even for the beauty of Cumberland. The three horses in the photo look as if they are posing for the camera. They may be you can walk pretty close to the horses with no problem.

My card is created using the Stampin’ Up! Let It Ride Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Waterfront Stamp Set.

Photos are courtesy of Trip Adviser

I watched two, three maybe more videos trying to get the mountains to look like mountains, but finally settled on these. They are created by using one of the stamps from the Stampin’ Up! Waterfront Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Garden Green ink. I stamped the trees first using a stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Let It Ride Stamp Set and one from the Waterfront Stamp Set. I then stamped the mountains.

My challenges for today are inspired by two challenges — As You See It Challenge and Cardz 4 Galz Challenge

Using Stampin’ Up! Bermuda Bay and Early Espresso Watercolor Pencils I colored in the water and the sand. I used a Stampin’ Up! Blender Pen to smooth out the watercolors. All the card layers even the art panel are embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder.

The sun is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Crushed Curry ink using the sun stamp from the Waterfront Stamp Set. The birds are from Stampin’ Up! High Tide Stamp Set and are stamped using Tuxedo Memento Black ink.

My horse is stamped using Stampin’ Up! Early Espresso ink and the horse stamp from the Let It Ride Stamp Set, as this stamp has two horses on it, I had to mask one horse so that it would not show. I wrapped a length of Stampin’ Up! Linen Thread around the art panel and the Stampin’ Up! Shaded Spruce panel used for the mat. Wishing now I had not or put the thread lower below the horse. The greeting from Stampin’ Up! Colorful Seasons is stamped in Shaded Spruce ink on a scrap of Whisper White card stock and one end is snipped into a flag.

The inside sentiment panel is left blank for a note.

In finishing my card creation, I decorated the flap of a Whisper White envelope so it would coordinate with the theme of the card front by stamping the trees from the Let It Ride Stamp Set in Garden Green ink.

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful fun weekend at whatever you chose to do. My hope also is that you find encouragement or inspiration from my card. Maybe it will inspire you to go check out Cumberland Island. Do a search in Google for Cumberland Island Georgia. Have a great day!

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew July Blog Hop “Celebrate Summer”

July 9, 2019 admin

Welcome to the June blog hop of Amy’s Inkin’ Krew. We are so glad you are here because you are going to see some awesome projects that the team has created. I hope you enjoy all the ideas and our blog hop. Our theme for this month is “Celebrate Summer”. You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Krew member’s blog. You will find the full line-up below to help you hop along from Krew member to Krew member. On we go…

My card for the hop is created by using the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Place and Heartland Stamp Sets.

I am playing along with the Seize the Birthday for today. The theme is sunshine. I hope my little sun counts.

My husband said my little boy playing in the creek looks like a ghost. What do you think? Do you think it makes you think of a ghost walking in the water? The card base is Stampin’ Up! Granny Apple Green card stock with a Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Bushel card stock mat for the art panel. The card base is embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtles Embossing Folder. The greeting is from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Greeting Stamp Set and is stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink.

The images are stamped from Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Place Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Heartland Stamp Set. I had to mask part of the little boy image as there were geese walking beside him. I used Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Pencils and a Stampin’ Up! Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends to color the art piece. The sun is from the Stampin’ Up! Waterfront Stamp Set is stamped using Stampin’ Up! Crushed Curry ink.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Bushel ink on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock using the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthday Stamp Set. The evergreens are from Stampin’ Up! Rooted In Nature Stamp Set and are stamped in Stampin’ Up! Garden Green Ink.

In finishing my card I decorated a Whisper White Envelope so it will coordinate with the color theme of the card. I gave the envelope flap a panel from the Stampin’ Up! Brights 6″ x 6″ DSP.

Stampin’ Up! A Good Man

June 8, 2019 admin

Thank you to all the people who follow my blog. I truly appreciate you!

My card today is created using the Stampin’ Up! A Good Man stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Waterfront stamp set. Waterfront is a stamp set I have had for a long, long time, but today is the first use. I have others that hopefully, I will get to before they retire in June 2020.

I am playing along at these challenges today. My first list is Hand Stamped Sentiments #316 My card is a bit different than all the flowers and I sure hope I was not supposed to include them. I did do all the colors that’s where the inspiration for the sky, moon, palm tree that is small I know, and the ocean. If I am disqualified then I will just play again another day.

And… Always Fun Challenges…

And… the Crafty Catz Challenge

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Bushel card stock. The card base is embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Seaside TIEF, which I must have overlooked as retired when I pulled retired products. Did not realize it until I started writing this. My card is a sweet little card with a dad and his little girl looking out at the ocean one last time for the day. She has her sleepy head on his shoulder as dad looks at palm trees in the distance. Doesn’t it make you yearn for the beach?

The art piece is Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Paper. I have used Stampin’ Up! Balmy Blue, Seaside Spray, Highland Heather, Mossy Meadow inks to create the sky and the ocean. Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake ink was used for the sand. The distant palm tree is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow and Crumb Cake inks. The moon was stamped in Stampin’ Up! So Saffron ink using the moon from the Stampin’ Up! Waterfront stamp set. The art piece has a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock mat.

The inside sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! A Good Man stamp set and the Well Said stamp set

In finishing my card I decorated a Whisper White Envelope so it will coordinate with the ocean theme of the card. I gave the envelope flap a panel from the Stampin’ Up! Come Sail Away DSP.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and my wish is that your day be blessed.
