Strong and Beautiful – Stampin with Shirley G

Beautiful Promenade

March 15, 2019 admin

My card today is created using the Beautiful Promenade stamp set and the coordinating DSP. It makes for a lovely card. It is for a strong young woman who had an accident when she was 19 and became paralyzed from the waist down. She is a very productive, active life and is an encouragement to all who meet her. She certainly an inspiration when we complain about little day to day ache and pains and say oh I feel too bad to do that today. She carrys on and works long, long hours each day to see her dream fulfilled.

My sketch inspirations comes from the Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge for this week.

The card recipe:

Start with a panel of Petal Pink card stock for the card base.
Cut a 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ panel and emboss using the Subtle Textured Impression Embossing Folder.
Cut a 2-1/2″ x 3-3/4″ panel of Blackberry Bliss card stock and a panel 1-1/8″ x 3-1/8″. These are mats for the Petal Promenade DSP.
Cut a 2-3/8″ x 3-5/8″ panel of Petal Promenade DSP and a 1″ x 3″ panel of the same DSP.
Adhered the Petal Promenade DSP to the Blackberry Bliss card stock using Liquid Glue.
Cut a 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ square from the reverse side of the Petal Promenade DSP that you cut previously.
Stamp in the upper corner using Mossy Meadow ink one of the flowers from the Beautiful Promenade stamp set.
then stamp in Fresh Fig ink on a scrap of Whisper White card stock the same flower.
Stamp the greeting in the lower left corner using Blackberry Bliss Ink.
Fussy cut just the Fresh Fig flower.
Pop the flower using Mini Stamping Dimensionals that have been cut in half over the Mossy Green flower in the upper corner of the 2-12″ x 2-1/2″ square.
Cut a 2-5/8″ square from the Blackberry Bliss card stock. This is the mat for the art piece with the flower and the greeting.
Pop 2 pearls from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls onto the art piece.
Adhere all the panels the way they show in the picture onto the Subtle embossed panel.
Adhere the Petal Pink panel to the card base.
Scatter three more pearls over the Petal Pink embossed panel after all the other smaller panels have been adhered.
The bow is made using Fresh Fig Mini Ruffle ribbon and adhered with a Glue Dot.
The inside sentiment is stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink on a panel of Whisper White that is matted on a panel of Blackberry Bliss card stock.
A different flower from the Beautiful Promenade stamp set is stamped in Mossy Meadow in the right corner of the sentiment panel.

Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you like the card!

Follow Your Dreams and Let It Ride

February 14, 2019 admin

I am using the Let It Ride, Follow Your Dreams and Strong and Beautiful stamp sets for my card today. I have come to really like the Follow Your Dreams stamp set and sure hope that it will carry over to the 2019-2020 Annual catalog.

Inspiration for today’s card comes from Just Us Girls Challenge. It is Trend Week.

I started with a Bermuda Bay card base. I also cut the Delicate Lace decorative strip that is down the left side from Bermuda Bay.

A panel is cut from the Wood Texture Designer Series Paper (DSP) to stamp the greeting and horse. They are both stamped using Tuxedo Memento Black Ink. The horse is then colored using Early Expresso ink and a Blender Pen. The edges of the panel are distressed using the edge of my scissors. The inside sentiment panel is also distressed.

I cut three Dream Catchers from the stamp set Follow Your Dreams. I used a Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet on the back of the Wood Texture DSP so the pieces would be easier to adhere together. By adhering three together it gives dimension so they do not look so flat when adhered to the card front.

The Lacy Edgelit piece is also adhered to the card front using the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet adhered to the back of the Bermuda Bay card stock. After it and the Dream Catcher are adhered to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue the panel is popped on the card base using Stampin Dimensionals. A dot from the Glitter Enamel Dots is adhered to the center of the Dream Catcher.

A panel from the Wood Texture DSP is cut and the sentiment along with the Dream Catcher is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink. An enamel dot from the Glitter Enamel Dots is adhered to the center of the Dream Catcher.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you find my card to your liking and that you can get inspiration and encouragement for your own creation
