Stars – Stampin with Shirley G

The card starts with a Gorgeous Grape card base. I believe this is the first time using this color card stock for a card. I have used Highland Heather many times and they go well together. A panel from the How Sweet It Is DSP is run through the Big Shot using one of the dies from the Doily Builder Framelits Dies. It is adhered to the Coastal Cabana mat using Liquid Glue.

Inspiration for my card layout comes from the MTF Sketch Challenge for the week.

The candy jar and the lollipop are fussy cut from another panel of How Sweet It Is DSP. The candy jar is popped in the Coastal Cabana space. The stick for the lollipop is cut in two pieces so that it will look as if the lollipop is sticking all the way behind the candy jar. A tiny bow is made from a short length of Whisper White Twine and tied around the lollipop stick just below the lollipop. Tiny gummy bears are fussy cut and scattered around the candy jar. After all items have been adhered to the focal panel, it is popped onto the card base using Mini Stampin Dimensionals. Since I did not have a Happy Birthday stamp that was a single line, I used the stamp from the Better Together stamp set and did a bit of masking so it would only stamp one word at a time. It was stamped on a strip of Whisper White card stock in Lovely Lipstick and matted on a strip of Coastal Cabana card stock. This was then popped onto the card base at the bottom of the card, leaving a blank space between the greeting and the focal panel, so I added a few Coastal Cabana stars and I am just now realized that must be a retired item, so you can use any of the Basic Jewel elements to fill in this space or maybe a length of ribbon. The card front is now finished.

The inside sentiment is stamped on a panel of Whisper White in Coastal Cabana Ink and matted on a panel of Coastal Cabana card stock. A candy jar from a panel of the How Sweet It Is DSP is fussy cut and adhered to the panel using Liquid Glue.

I hope you liked my card for the day and that you found encouragement and inspiration for your own creation.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Baubles

October 29, 2018 admin

The stamp set for this card is the Beautiful Baubles stamp bundle. It truly is a beautiful stamp set. The baubles are so pretty. The elements were cut using the Big Shot. The bauble in the center makes me think of a bird cage. They were cut from Silver Glimmer paper and adhered to a Night of Navy mat that was embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder then adhered to the Thick Whisper White card base.

Three different sizes and designs of silver Washi Tape was wrapped around the Night of Navy mat and adhered in the back with tape so they would not come loose.

Three Best Route Enamel Shapes were colored with a Real Red Stampin Blend pen, then adhered to the inside of the circle where the Bauble is.

The “Deck the Halls” greeting is stamped in Versa Mark and then heat embossed using Silver Embossing Powder.

The inside sentiment is stamped on a panel of Whisper White card stock and then a mat of Night of Navy was adhered over it using Liquid Glue. The Night of Navy panel is embossed and cut using one of the Thinlits Dies from the Beautiful Baubles Bundle. Two red stars are also adhered to the Night of Navy Panel.

Thanks for stopping by, I truly hope you found encouragement and inspiration for your own creations. Have a wonderful week and visit often.

Inspiration for this card comes from the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #295.
