Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Spotlight

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some plans in the works. I’ll be working today and hoping it will be busy to make the day go by quickly.

Today’s card is one we made at our team meeting this past Monday. I was excited to lead mystery stamping and I showed everyone 2 techniques in one card using just Stamps, Ink and Paper. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Spotlight 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

I started by lightly adhering the small panel of Basic White cardstock to the larger panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the large sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set on the 2 corners of the panels in Soft Suede Ink.

I took the panels apart and using my Daffodil Delight and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers, I colored just the images on the small panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set on the small panel in Soft Suede Ink.

I adhered the small panel to the Daffodil Delight mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the larger stamped panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue lining up the flowers. I adhered the layered panel to the Daffodil Delight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Soft Suede Ink below the 1st sentiment. I stamped the large sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using my Daffodil Delight and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Suede mat then to the inside of the Daffodil Delight card base.

Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers Double Time Stamping

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Who has today off for Presidents Day? I don’t. That’s a disadvantage of working retail. Even though I work in the office, we’re still open.

Today’s card is pretty much the basics of Stamps, Ink and Paper. I did add a little embellishment, since I thought it just needed a little something extra. I also did one of my favorite techniques, double time stamping. I just love double and triple time stamping. I also did the Spot Light Technique. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by lightly adhering a small panel of Basic White cardstock to a larger panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the large flower image from the Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the corners of the panels. I removed the small panel and stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings between the flowers in Smoky Slate Ink.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using my Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers, I colored just the flowers on the small panel. I adhered the small panel to a Pool Party mat using Stampin’ Seal. Lining up the flowers, I adhered the layered panel to the larger stamped Basic White panel using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the layered panels to a Pool Party card base using Stampin’ Seal. I added a few Iridescent Pastel Gems to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a Basic white panel. I stamped the smaller flower image from the Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the 2 corners of the panel. I colored just the flowers in using my Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the smaller flower from the Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front and colored it using my Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest CAS Sneak Peek

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend. I hope you are starting to make some fun plans.

Today I have a Clean and Simple card with a sneak peek for you. Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest Cling Stamp Set for my card today. This set will be available on Tuesday August 3rd.

My design is from the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #428.

My colors are from The Paper Players challenge #549.

I started by adhering a small panel of Basic White cardstock on a Basic White cardstock with the tiniest amount of Stampin’ Seal just to hold it in place. I stamped the large cone flower image from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I carefully removed the small panel so that it wouldn’t stick to the card front. I colored the image in on the small panel and the card front using my Just Jade & Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the flower center in using my Bumblebee Stampin’ Write Marker.

I adhered the Basic White card front to a Bumblebee card base using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the small panel to a Bumblebee mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front, matching up the images, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered a Bumblebee Trinket to the small panel with a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Ornate Thanks Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the cone flower image on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored the image in using my Just Jade & Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blends Markers and my Bumblebee Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Bumblebee mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Bumblebee card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the cone flower image from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it in the same as on the card. I adhered a panel of the 2020-2022 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Products will be available on Tuesday August 3rd when the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog goes live. This is really a beautiful set and you will want to put this on your list. Happy Stamping!!

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ x 6″ pieces (or 6″ x 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

Here are the Designer Series Paper Shares that I am offering from the new Mini Catalog!

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Autumn Double Time Stamping

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends.  How is everyone’s weekend going?  I have the next few days off from work, so I’m doing a happy dance.  Plans are to get my daughter’s room painted today and tomorrow, then Tuesday put everything back in place.  We’ll see what happens.

I have a clean and simple card for you today doing the Double Time Technique.  All I used was Stamps, Ink and Paper, just the basics.  Here’s my card for today.

I lightly adhered a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock to a Very Vanilla card base making sure it was centered.  I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Autumn Photopolymer Stamp Set in Cajun Craze Ink in the center of the panel.

I first stamped all the outlines of the leaves from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set in Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie and Shaded Spruce Inks randomly around the panel.  I stamped all the fill images from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set in the leaves, all stamped off once, in Bumblebee, Just Jade and Real Red Inks.  I stamped the wheat image from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink.

I carefully removed the Very Vanilla panel and adhered it to a Cajun Craze mat using Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered the matted panel, making sure to line up all the leaves and stems, to the Very Vanilla card base using Stampin’ Seal.

On the inside is stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink in the center of a Very Vanilla panel.  I stamped the outline leave images from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set in Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie and Shaded Spruce Inks.  I stamped the leaf fill images from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set, all stamped off once, in Bumblebee, Just Jade and Real Red Inks.  I stamped the wheat image from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Cajun Craze mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Very Vanilla card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope.  I stamped the outline leaf images from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set in Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie and Shaded Spruce Inks on the envelope front and flap.  I stamped the leaf fill images from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set, all stamped off once, in Bumblebee, Just Jade and Real Red Inks.  I stamped the wheat image from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink on the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up Floral Essence Swirly Frames Birthday Card

Good Thursday morning my fellow stampers.  How is everyone doing today? Hope everyone’s week is moving along smoothly.

I have a pretty easy card for you today, though it does look a little involved, it’s not.  I’ve used a few different stamp sets for you today.  Here’s my card.

To my surprise, my card played along with a few different challenges today.  First off is TGIF Sketch Challenge #224.  Here is their sketch.

Next is Inspire. Create Colour Challenge #049.  Here are their colors.

I was also able to join in with “Just Us Girls” Trend Week Challenge #500.  Here is their theme.

I started by adhering the small Whisper White panel to the Pool Party card front with the tiniest amount of Snail just to hold it in place.  I then randomly stamped the large and small circle images from the Stampin’ Up Swirly Frames Photopolymer Stamp Set in Basic Gray Ink on the 2 panels overlapping some of the circles.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Basic Gray mat using Snail.  I then adhered the matted panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid glue matching the circles.

On a scrap of Mango Melody cardstock I stamped the flower image from the Stampin’ Up Floral Essence Photopolymer Stamp Set in Mango Melody Ink twice.  I punched the flowers out using the Perennial Flower Punch.  I adhered the flowers together using a Glue Dot and adhered it to the artwork panel using a Stampin’ Dimensional.  I stamped the leaf image from the Floral Essence stamp set 3 times in Pool Party Ink on a scrap of Pool Party cardstock and punched them out using the Leaf Punch.  I adhered the leaves under the flower using Glue Dots.

On a small strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Itty Bitty Birthdays Stamp Set in Basic Gray Ink.  I adhered the sentiment strip to a Basic Gray mat using Snail.  I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I adhered the card front to a Basic Gray card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I colored a few Clear Rhinestone Basic Jewels using my Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered the colored rhinestones to the card front.

On the inside I stamped another flower image from the Floral Essence stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the top and bottom of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the leaf image from the Floral Essence stamp set in Pool Party Ink around the flowers.  I colored the flowers in using my Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I stamped the inside of the flowers with the flower center image from the Floral Essence stamp set in Basic Gray Ink stamping off once.  I stamped the sentiment from the Floral Essence stamp set in Basic Gray Ink in the center of the panel.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Basic Gray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the flower image from the Floral Essence stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the envelope front.  I stamped the leaves from the Floral Essence stamp set in Pool Party Ink around the flowers.  I colored the flowers in the same as I did for the card.  I stamped the small circle image from the Swirly Frames stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up Painted Seasons Double Time Technique

Good Saturday morning my fellow stampers. I don’t usually do posts on the weekends, but I wanted to show you one last Sale-A-Bration card.  Tomorrow is your last day to order any Sale-A-Bration items.

RUN DON’T WALK TO YOUR COMPUTERS TO PLACE YOUR ORDERS.

Today’s card I used the gorgeous Distinctive Stampin’ Up Painted Seasons Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up Part Of My Story Stamp Set. I also tried the Double Time Technique for my card.  I am really going to miss this Distinctive set. Here’s my card.

The colors I used were part of The Color Throwdown Challenge #536.

I started by taking 2 panels of Very Vanilla cardstock and put the tiniest amount of Snail in the center to just hold them in place.  I stamped the sentiment from the Part Of My Story stamp set in Soft Suede Ink in the center of the top panel.  I stamped the flower image from the Painted Seasons stamp set randomly around on the cardstock in Blushing Bride Ink.  I stamped the fern image from the same stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink randomly between the flowers.  I stamped the leaf image from the same stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink stamping off once.

I adhered each of the Very Vanilla panels to a Blushing Bride mat using Snail.  I lined up the images and adhered the smaller matted panel to the larger matted panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I then adhered the artwork to a Pear Pizzazz card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside I stamped the flowers, ferns and leaves from the Painted Seasons stamp set randomly on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Strong And Beautiful Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink in the center of the Very Vanilla panel.  This stamp set has the most beautiful sentiments and font in it.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Blushing Bride mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Pear Pizzazz card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope.  I stamped the flower, fern and leaf images from the Painted Seasons stamp set randomly on the envelope front and the envelope flap the same as I did for the card front.

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my blog today.  I hope you liked my Double Time card and will give it a try.  Enjoy your weekend.  Happy Stamping!!
